Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1521 - 1525: Burn the Boats!

"Chen Feng, that idiot, I told him the truth and he didn't listen, even kicked me out of the military camp."

"Hehe, when I told him lies, the old fool was so happy. Who would have thought he couldn't even see the enemy's movements, and he doesn't know we're already in danger."

"In that case, if he wants to die, I certainly don't want to be buried with him. We need to get out of here! Pack up, we're getting ready to escape!"

When Qin Tian said this, his emotions were complicated, but he had no choice. In such circumstances, he couldn't avoid the death of innocent people...

Within less than half a day, Qin Tian led his force of ten thousand troops towards Yang City.

On the way, Qin Tian analyzed to Xiao Zhuang: "The danger I mentioned is not alarmist talk."

"You might not know this news, over at Yang City, the Dragon Clan hasn't launched an attack for five days now."

Xiao Zhuang was taken aback: "What's the connection? Isn't it quite normal?"

"But if you know Long Xuanji's style of doing things, you'll know this is not normal."

Qin Tian said seriously, "Long Xuanji doesn't like procrastinating, she prefers blitzkrieg. Look at how she captured those cities along East State River, the longest it took was not more than ten days... Hehe, now she's in Yang City, spending over half a month, very abnormal."

Lin Yu was curious too, and asked: "So, boss, what do you think Long Xuanji is doing there? And why do you say Chen Feng is doomed?"

Qin Tian smiled and asked back: "Second Brother, according to our previous calculation, after Long Xuanji brought reinforcements to Yang City, at most half a month, she would have the chance to capture Yang City, why hasn't she attacked?"

"Why is that?"

"That's because Long Xuanji fears that during those ten-plus days of attacking Yang City, we might quickly send reinforcements with five thousand men, blocking her retreat and forming a pincer attack."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu nodded: "Then why has Long Xuanji stopped attacking Yang City? Since she's afraid we'd block her retreat, she has only two choices, either to speed up the attack or quietly deal with us first... Hiss!"

At this point, Lin Yu took a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Xiao Zhuang and Zhao Lanjin, all three completely understood—

Long Xuanji might very well have dispatched people to deal with their five thousand troops!

Qin Tian's expression turned serious and said: "I can almost be certain Long Xuanji sent people swiftly over to us, I estimate not a large number, around ten thousand, no more than fifteen thousand people, in order to avoid being discovered by Zhang Qicheng of Yang City."

"Of course, simultaneously, Long Xuanji will definitely instruct the garrison of two thousand at Sanhe City to act at the right time, then they will attack, encircling Chen Feng and his men!"

"Chen Feng is confident dealing with three thousand men from Sanhe with five thousand City Guard Army, but against fifty thousand troops from the Dragon Clan, I can basically conclude, given his leadership skills, he is sure to be defeated."

"And the current situation is, after we leave, he only has forty thousand men left, essentially, with no room for struggle at all... Forty thousand men..."

Qin Tian sighed, and Zhao Lanjin and the others were silent too.

"Boss, what use will it be for us to escape in advance? Going back to Yang City? If Dragon Clan spies discover our whereabouts, ambush us on our way, our ten thousand will also be attacked, certainly not easy to escape." Xiao Zhuang furrowed his brows.

"I have thought about it, now we have only two paths." Qin Tian took a deep breath and said: "One is rapid advance, before Dragon Clan reacts, entering Yang City, the probability of success, maybe only fifty-fifty."

"The second path, that is the risky route. We will ambush nearby, when Dragon Clan surrounds Chen Feng, we counter-encircle them, directly confront Dragon Clan, fight them head-on! Although their combat power is strong, but with Chen Feng's four thousand, our numbers will definitely exceed theirs, and we can launch a surprise attack. I personally think the probability of winning this path is thirty percent, but not as undignified."

As Qin Tian spoke, his gaze swept over Zhao Lanjin and the others, saying: "What do you all think? Of course, if we go back to Yang City perfectly intact, we might face pursuit, charged with desertion during wartime."

"Hehe, hearing you say that, I know which path you prefer."

Zhao Lanjin laughed and said: "I support you, I also think, our fifty thousand cannot die so dishonorably, even if we die, it should be with our heads up and shedding blood."

Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu said simultaneously: "I support the second path!"

Qin Tian smiled knowingly and nodded.

In fact, what Qin Tian didn't say was that although the second path is risky, if they win, the rewards will be substantial.

If they could annihilate the Dragon Clan's three thousand men, that would be an outstanding achievement!

Since the East State battle began, there hasn't been a single specific battle where the Dragon Clan lost three thousand men!

If this battle succeeds, Qin Tian will surely gain battle honors!

Success comes from careful planning, wealth is sought in danger.

Qin Tian decided to take the gamble.

This battle will determine his trajectory in the City Guard Army, his life path, even his survival!

As per Qin Tian's plan, his ten thousand troops advanced northwards towards the mountain forest, bypassing the eastern road, avoiding confrontation with the secret unit dispatched by Long Xuanji.

Simultaneously, Qin Tian dispatched multiple groups of scouts, closely monitoring Sanhe City and Chen Feng's troop movements.

Two days later, the news arrived.

A scout discovered the mysterious unit sent by Long Xuanji, the scale was approximately between five thousand and upwards of ten thousand soldiers, quietly approaching Chen Feng's camp, still over seventy kilometers away!

"Hehe, this Long Xuanji, quite confident, sending less than ten thousand, planning to combine with Sanhe City's two thousand garrison to swallow the City Guard Army's fifty thousand?" Upon receiving the news, Qin Tian laughed.

Zhao Lanjin said: "That's not surprising, a single Dragon Clan soldier holding a Phoenix Flag can capture a city, do you find it strange if Dragon Clan soldiers confront us City Guard, one against two?"

Qin Tian smiled faintly and said: "Since they're all here, we must be ready too. Success or failure rests on this one effort!"

...

"Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, I now officially appoint you as my intelligence officers. Xiao Zhuang is responsible for dispatching scouts from my unit and gathering information, Lin Yu is responsible for training scouts and processing information."

"Zhao Lanjin, I now officially appoint you as Deputy Commander, in my absence, everyone in my unit follows your orders!"

At the military meeting, Qin Tian made arrangements with utmost seriousness.

Zhao Lanjin hesitated, awkwardly saying: "Commander, technically, the Deputy Commander should be appointed by General Chen Feng with a formal commission..."

"This is an extraordinary time, I make the decision! I will explain this to the higher-ups!"

Qin Tian looked at all his chiliarchs, his gaze sweeping across the room, boldly asking: "Do any of you have questions!?"
