Now the question for them was where to start harassing Su Ze and his legions.
If they don't choose a suitable location, it will be the legion under Long Tianqi who will suffer heavy losses at that time, and if they can find a suitable location, then Su Ze and they will be dragged by Long Tianqi and Long Tianqi's army for a while.
Su Ze has been cautious since they broke out of the encirclement, and they have also been vigilant all around.
After all, after having the previous incident, this made Su Ze dare not be careless in the slightest, what if something happened again at that time?
Now the army under Su Ze's command is less than 120,000, and there were originally a total of 150,000 troops when Su Ze brought it out, but now it has lost nearly 30,000.
Therefore, Su Ze can't make any more mistakes now, otherwise he will only lose more soldiers at that time.
And Su Ze must also move forward as fast as possible and reach the designated place within the specified time.
You must know that it has been two days since they arrived at the designated place, and there is still one day left, so they must hurry.
Although the place where they sneak attacked now can't achieve the previous effect, as long as they can complete this mission at this time, then the purpose of this sneak attack has been achieved.
Therefore, while they are hurrying, they also have to prevent someone from attacking them again.
"General, what are we going to do next? After a little further we will reach a fork in the road. At this time, a general beside Su Ze asked Su Ze in a respectful tone, obviously preparing to ask Su Ze how to go.
"Bring me the map." Soon there were soldiers who unfolded the map for Su Ze and them.
At this time, several generals led by Su Ze also stopped, and the legionnaires under Su Ze continued to advance.
Because they couldn't stop without Su Ze's order, and there was still a long way to go from that fork in the road, they still needed to continue marching and wait for the next instructions.
"This is where we are now, about twenty miles away from the next fork."
"Where are we supposed to get there, General? Is it the road on the left or the road on the right? ”
At this time, one of the generals closest to Su Ze asked Su Ze in a respectful tone.
"It depends on which of these two roads leads to Tianxuan City, only if we find the right way, we will be able to reach it at the specified time, in case we have to take a detour in the middle, we may not be able to reach it on time."
"The general thinks we can divide our troops into two ways." At this time, a young general made a suggestion to Su Ze in a respectful tone.
But the young general's suggestion was quickly vetoed directly by Su Ze.
Because this suggestion is very unrealistic, what if something happens to try it out again? You must know that they were attacked because of this incident before.
If they divide their troops into two lines, then the enemy will only have to destroy one of their armies. Even if one of the armies will not be completely wiped out, there will still be remnants, but how many soldiers will be left?
It can be said that Su Ze is very cautious now, and he doesn't dare to make any mistakes, after all, if there is a mistake again, then even if he succeeds in his action at that time, he will not be able to escape the blame.
"But general, if we don't divide the army into two roads, we must choose one of them, and this road must be the closest, otherwise we will have to take one more detour at that time." At this time, the general replied to Su Ze in a respectful tone again.
"I would have known, but which way should we go? According to the map, the distance between these two roads is about the same, but one of them should be the closest. ”
"Then the general, or we will send scouts to check the situation first, and if it is found out, then we will choose a simple terrain that will not be ambushed through."
"That's a good idea, now you can do it right away! Let's talk about it again after half a burnt incense. General Su Ze said to the other generals with a smile.
Soon, the general in charge of the scout battalion sent a team of scouts to these two roads to check the situation.
Soon the people they sent out found out the situation of these two roads, and after finding out the situation of these two roads, in the end, General Su Ze and his legions chose to take the left road.
Because only the road on the left is not covered by any obstructions, that is
They can pass quickly from here without any ambushes, but the road on the right is dense with vegetation and can easily ambush people.
So if they choose this path, they have to worry about someone ambushing here.
Therefore, General Su Ze and several generals under General Su Ze unanimously agreed to choose to take the left road.
Although the road on the right is the closest, it is also the most dangerous, so General Su Ze thinks that it doesn't matter if the journey is longer, but the focus is on safety.
As long as the other road is safe, then they can march in a hurry, and on the other way, although they can pass quickly, it is not safe, which will also seriously hinder their speed.
Soon the army under Su Ze's command passed the road as fast as they could, and then they continued to advance towards the target city.
It was already dark, but they were still marching rapidly, after all, they were about a day away from the deadline, and they would not be able to reach the designated place without a hurry.
And they must reach the city within the deadline, and then take it down as quickly as possible and wait for the support of the follow-up army.
At this time, the defenders of Tianxuan City were also strengthening the fortifications, because he had received the news a long time ago, so he had been waiting for Su Ze to lead his legions to attack Tianxuan City.
Because he had been preparing for so long, he didn't want Su Ze to not come.
After all, if Su Ze didn't come, then wouldn't he be busy in vain, so what he was looking forward to most now was that Su Ze and them would arrive as soon as possible, as long as Su Ze and them came, he would be ready to let them come and go.
Of course, he didn't dare to be careless, after all, he didn't know much about Su Ze's strength, but he knew that as long as Su Ze and them came, he could leave most of his Xia soldiers here.
And he also got the news that Long Tianqi had led a large army to harass Su Ze's legions.
Although he didn't know what the situation was, with Long Tianqi's strength and his reputation, Long Tianqi would soon defeat the legion under Su Ze's command, and even if he couldn't defeat it, the strength of Long Tianqi's legion could be greatly reduced.
