327: Games and reality

Early the next morning, the Army set out, marching towards the designated position!

During the march, they encountered many Qin Army Soldiers passing by them, but all of them were heading towards the Central Army's direction!

The Great Wall Legion began to operate in full swing. Because Wang Li's Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army had very few cavalry, their marching speed was not fast. This also meant that She Jian and Lin Yue's Army had to march slowly around them, protecting the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army.

But this also made Lin Yue discover a problem: "General, where are the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's crossbow carts?"

Lin Yue saw that yesterday, the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army seemed to have a crossbow for every Soldier, and each squad was equipped with a crossbow cart. They were armed to the teeth. But today, the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's Soldiers were all on foot, with no sign of crossbow carts, which made him feel puzzled.

"They are in spatial treasures," She Jian said with a glance.

"There must be tens of thousands of crossbow carts, are they all in spatial treasures?" Lin Yue asked.

"More or less," She Jian said calmly.

"So rich!" Lin Yue exclaimed. How many spatial treasures would that require?

"Otherwise, why would the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army be considered the elite among all Armies? War is all about money and provisions, it's about who has more money!

My armor is expensive; you can't leave a wound even if you slash me, while you only have a set of leather armor, and I can cut you down with one strike. My blade is sharp; when our blades clash, your scimitar breaks in two. Unless I've lost my mind, how could I not win?

So now you understand why the Great General was so happy when you annihilated the Right Wise King's heavy cavalry, right? The cost of heavy cavalry is astronomical. With the Right Wise King's financial resources, it would take him at least three to five years to form another heavy cavalry Army.

Even the Great General's 300,000 Golden Fire Cavalry was formed after His Majesty overcame strong opposition and made a huge decision. The entire Great Qin cannot find a second heavy cavalry Army of this scale, and there are very few heavy cavalry Armies with even more than a thousand men." She Jian chuckled, as he used to be a Colonel of the Golden Fire Cavalry and was very familiar with this.

"Rich!" Lin Yue was left with only this one word... It wasn't until midnight that Lin Yue and the others finally reached their designated position.

Wang Da Tou led the Army ahead of them, setting up a simple tent for everyone to rest.

Wang Li, on the other hand, took a cavalry detachment directly to General Meng Tian's Encampment behind them, leaving only the Generals to lead the Army to encamp here.

Seeing this, everyone hastily ate and then went to rest in their tents. A tense atmosphere, signaling an impending major battle, permeated the Encampment.

Lin Yue lay in his tent, unable to sleep. He didn't know if this battle would actually break out, he only knew that the final outcome would undoubtedly be Touman's defeat.

But he still felt uneasy, because he knew this was not just a "virtual" world.

The people here were flesh and blood, with rich emotions, and various connections and relationships between them. This was clearly a "new world"!

He knew that this was a level of game production or scientific research that the real world would not be able to achieve for another hundred years. He had realized this a long time ago.

But Lin Yue had been deceiving himself, unwilling to admit it.

A general's success is built upon ten thousand bones.

When countless people died in front of him, he would just silently tell himself that they were all NPCs, all fake, so that he could enjoy the rewards he received with a clear conscience, enjoy the fun that the "game" brought him, and feel that the glory he gained was not heavy!

It was precisely for this reason that he used to enjoy playing tricks on "Outsiders" before. The reason was that he knew players would not truly die. Only in this way would he feel that this was a "game" and not a bloody reality.

But during this period of fighting the Xiongnu in the north, he was far from the Central Plains, far from the "game." His mind was filled with killing enemies to repay the country, expelling the Xiongnu. He faced the deaths of his comrades, the deaths of the Xiongnu, the splattering blood, the ruins and broken walls, the human purgatories, all constantly stimulating his brain.

Until now, he could no longer continue to deceive himself, because in a short while, he would experience the largest battle in history, a battlefield of tens of millions of people. He could not imagine how many people would die in front of him, nor could he imagine what kind of human purgatory it would be!

He was tormented at this moment, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, until a cry of "Enemy attack!" completely prevented him from resting!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Yang Yanping opened the tent door immediately, the lantern light stinging Lin Yue's eyes. Lin Yue suddenly stood up!

"What's going on?"

"Wu De, the Captain, discovered a large number of Xiongnu cavalry, about 200,000 men. They have already broken through General Wang Han's camp, and our defenders have engaged in a small-scale skirmish with them!"

"Let's go!" Lin Yue put on his armor and stepped out of the tent, only to see flames soaring outside and shouts of battle echoing everywhere.

He climbed the makeshift watchtower and saw that Wang Han's Army was fighting desperately. They were at the very front and bore the brunt of the attack, now in a precarious situation. Not far away, She Jian and the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army had both dispatched men to provide support!

"My Lord, should we send troops to support?" Wei Liang asked.

Lin Yue's Army, being in the second line, had not suffered much impact, so they had now assembled and were ready to launch a full-scale attack as soon as Lin Yue gave the order!

They were not panicked at all at this moment, but were all holding their breath!

They, who raised hawks, were now being pecked by hawks one day. This made them very angry. They had always been the ones to launch night raids on others, and today they were being night-raided by others?

"Support?" Lin Yue's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of something terrifying: "Wei Liang, you and General Yang Ye will lead the Army together to protect the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army!

Leave Pan Feng to guard the Encampment!"

Lin Yue roared. Although Wang Da Tou was in a precarious situation, Lin Yue always felt that things were not that simple.

Moreover, even if Wang Da Tou's 100,000 cavalry were completely wiped out, or if all three of their 400,000-plus cavalry were wiped out, neither in terms of strategic value nor economic value would they be as precious as the 300,000 Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army. Therefore, at this moment, no matter what, they must ensure the safety of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army!

"Understood!" Wei Liang and General Yang Ye responded, heading towards the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's direction.

Because Xing Daorong was recovering from his injuries and had not yet returned to the unit, Xing Daorong's White Horse Righteous Cavalry were temporarily taken over by General Yang Ye. The two led the vast Army to rush over, while Pan Feng here had already prepared for defense.

"Pan Feng, I'm leaving this to you!" Lin Yue said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Pan Feng responded. His 100,000 men were poised for action, defending while constantly watching the movements on both sides!

"White Horse Camp, follow me to kill the enemy!" Lin Yue, seeing that everything was arranged, called out to the White Horse Camp to follow him to rescue Wang Da Tou!

After all, he couldn't just watch Wang Da Tou go to his death.

"Follow me!" Lin Yue roared!
