Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1329: Chapter 307: Zhao Pusheng: How Is This Possible

Ni Wenjun said angrily.

Chen Jie replied: ”Brother Ni, when outside, one’s dignity is self-imposed. If they call us worthless, all we need to do is prove ourselves, and that will be enough to slap them in the face.”

”How do we prove it?”

Chen Jie said: ”There will be an opportunity.”

Ni Wenjun didn’t really understand. In fact, he didn’t know that Chen Jie had just used the intelligence System to check the information along the way.

He obtained a piece of enormous news: King Qi Li Siqi had actually come early to lay an ambush at Qingniu Ridge.

Originally, Chen Jie wanted to wait for Ni Wenjun to return so he could inform him and have him convey the message to Monk Peng to prevent this military disaster.

However, now Chen Jie changed his mind.

Zhao Pusheng and Xu Shouhui are not good people, so to establish his footing, he does not need to weaken their forces. This ambush by King Qi Li Siqi might just be an opportunity, so Chen Jie decided not to disclose the information.

Instead, Chen Jie immediately issued orders for the army to march. The cavalry was excited on both ends, shield soldiers protected the flanks, forming a Single Line Formation and began marching with a defensive stance that echoed head to tail.

Chen Jie said to Ni Wenjun: ”Brother Ni, return to the Central Army and inform them that we’ve taken on the Vanguard Army role and we’re marching immediately!”

Ni Wenjun said: ”Jiu Si, Zhao Pusheng has already sent Ding Pulong with a hundred cavalry to scout, should we wait for them?”

Chen Jie said: ”Hmm, alright, let’s wait.”

Chen Jie was unsure if Ding Pulong could gather any useful information, so he was in no hurry to make a decision and decided to wait a bit to see the situation.

At this time, Ding Pulong arrived at Qingniu Ridge with his men and immediately dispersed the troops.

At this time, in the forest, a centurion of the Gray Wolf Army saw this and immediately waved his hand, and the troops quickly began to withdraw. These Grey Wolf soldiers wore gray-green uniforms with green stripes, resembling ancient camouflage uniforms.

Camouflaged in the forest, they naturally blended into the background. The centurion waved again, and the troops began to withdraw as Ding Pulong’s scouts searched around.

Upon searching in the nearby area, they were unable to find the hidden army in the dense forest.

There’s a reason people call them a rabble. They have no ability whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the well-trained Grey Wolf Army watched the scouting soldiers with mocking faces, as if to say, ”With such a disorganized bunch, you dare contend with one of the three grand armies of Daqian, the Grey Wolf Army? They’re all just prey, nothing but prey for us, hahaha...”

The members of the Grey Wolf Army all had bloodthirsty killing intent in their eyes.

After the Tianyuan Empire scouts conducted their search and found nothing, they returned and reported to Ding Pulong: ”General Ding, we didn’t find any signs of the enemy, the area is safe, no ambush.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Pulong rode around and then said: ”Alright, let’s report back.”

Without further ado, Ding Pulong immediately rode back towards the Central Army Tent of the Tianyuan Empire.

On a nearby hill, a centurion spoke to a middle-aged man standing with hands behind his back, overlooking everything: ”King Qi, the enemy scouts have retreated, we haven’t been exposed.”

King Qi said: ”A band of rabble, notify them to tighten the encirclement.”

”Yes!”

The centurion immediately withdrew as Li Siqi stood on the hill watching the distant dust clouds with a smile: ”Peng Yingyu, I hope you’ll like this gift I have for you!”

...

By now, Ding Pulong had returned with the scouts.

”Master, there is no ambush found ahead at Qingniu Ridge, we can proceed.”

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu looked at Zhao Pusheng, since military affairs were usually handled by Zhao Pusheng.

Zhao Pusheng looked at Ni Wenjun in the distance and said: ”General Ni.”

Ni Wenjun said: ”Understood, my Left Army will march now.”

With that, Ni Wenjun immediately instructed his men to pass the message to Chen Jie. Those in the tent couldn’t help but smile, Ni Wenjun had finally recognized the situation.

This cannon fodder army should perform their role as cannon fodder.

With that thought, the army commenced marching.

Soon the news reached Chen Jie’s side.

”No ambush discovered?”

Chen Jie was dumbfounded upon hearing the report from his commanders, and said to the messenger: ”Oh, I see.”

Then, Chen Jie immediately gathered all officers of the rank Hundred Households and above from the Left Army for a meeting to discuss the key points of the march.

Firstly, there should be enough shield soldiers, and the army must bring [Top Bull]

Top Bull is a piece of military equipment mentioned in ”Wu Mu’s Legacy,” made of giant wood, used to prevent rolling logs and stones from causing damage.

According to the text, during the Yue Army’s battle against Jin Country and Jin Wushu, Jin Wushu used a machine called a ”slider,” causing significant losses to the Yue Army, until a master carpenter developed Top Bull to prevent rolling logs and stones, greatly reducing damage.

Having prepared these, Chen Jie also ensured that the entire army maintained the Single Line Formation and reminded everyone to stay alert, ready for an ambush at any time.

Seeing Chen Jie’s meticulous planning, someone asked him: ”General, the scouts reported no ambush at Qingniu Ridge. Why do you seem to anticipate one?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the person and said: ”When marching and fighting, one must never rely solely on others’ words. Just because they say there’s no ambush, does it mean there isn’t one? I don’t think so.”
