The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

After listening to Lin Hu's report, Chen Subaru frowned: "The entire army was wiped out..."

Lin Hu was worried that Chen Subaru didn't understand, so he explained: "Those puppets came with such ferocity that the team had no time to defend themselves. Although the soldiers who rushed out were all elites in the army, their numbers and cultivation were still far behind the enemy..."

Chen Subaru interrupted Lin Hu: "I understand. I am worried about whether Chen Jiao can continue to lead the army to attack the scout stronghold in Gaoping County after losing so many manpower."

Lin Hu understood what Chen Subaru meant and quickly reported: "My subordinate has conveyed what you told me before to Master Chen Jiao. After hearing this, she expressed that she understood your intention and personally selected 1,200 soldiers to go. People continued to transport supplies, wounded and corpses back to the military town."

Chen Subaru thought for a moment and said to Lin Hu, "Protect yourself." Then he ended the interrogation.

After the interrogation was over, Chen Subaru used his spiritual consciousness to find Lin Yue and sent a message: "Lin Yue, return to camp immediately. I need you to stay in the army temporarily."

Lin Yue gave up the reconnaissance mission without hesitation and began to return to the military town.

While waiting for Lin Yue to return, Chen Subaru also explained many matters through voice transmission, telling her to protect the military town and not to take risks in any situation.

After arranging the defense, Chen Subaru quietly left the military town of Puyang County. Here, he can still find the direction even if he gets lost, because whether it is Chen Jiao or Lin Hu, he has left the imprint of his spiritual consciousness. Even if he is beyond the detection range of his spiritual consciousness, he can still sense the other party.

At the same time, in Gaoping County, Lin Hu also led his scouts to leave the military town of Gaoping County after his interrogation with Chen Subaru.

Chen Jiao, who bypassed the military town and went to the crusade against the puppet stronghold, was not marching very fast. In addition to the lack of cavalry, a more troublesome reason was that this team was made up of soldiers from four military towns. It was originally just In order to escort the supplies, there was no joint drill. After a powerful raid, the morale of many soldiers was already very low. It was not easy to follow Chen Jiao in the attack. It was obviously difficult to rely on this group of people to capture the enemy stronghold. Impossible, they might run away or even surrender directly during the first frontal attack and defense.

After Chen Jiao learned about the current situation from Lin Hu, she believed that the current configuration of mortal auxiliary monks in the Jin Dynasty was mainly defensive, blocking the enemy's ground offensive and buying time for the competition between high-end combat forces. But if such a configuration were to attack a stronghold garrisoned by pure monks, without the cooperation of high-level monks, it would be difficult to gain anything even with a force several times that of the opponent.

The previous confrontation between the two parties in Wuchang County Little World would not have occurred if Mr. Bai had not been in charge.

This time, Chen Jiao naturally understood that the team she led was just a decoy, and it was Chen Subaru who really played the decisive role. The reason why Chen Subaru chose to attack now was because this was the last chance to weaken the enemy. When the puppet army appeared, the four military towns would lose their advantage in high-end combat power, and all military towns would have no choice but to wait for reinforcements.

Therefore, Chen Jiao could not lead this team to advance rashly. She had to allow the soldiers to switch from marching state to defensive state in time, and maintain the battle line for Chen Subaru to move and take advantage of the opportunity.

When Chen Jiao's army arrived at the anti-reconnaissance stronghold established before by Lin Hu, they found that the stronghold had been occupied by the enemy. However, seeing the large number of Chen Jiao's troops, these enemy troops decisively chose to retreat.

In view of the fact that he had been discovered by the enemy and it was getting late, Chen Jiao ordered the entire army to camp and rest at this stronghold. After settling all matters in the military camp, Lin Hu caught up.

Chen Jiao, who originally planned to patrol the night in person, saw Lin Hu and immediately stepped forward to ask: "Lin Hu, what's the news about Wen Ruo?"

Lin Hu replied: "Master Chen Jiao, after listening to my report, the young master only asked if you would attack the enemy's scout stronghold as promised. After that, he asked me to protect myself and said nothing else."

Chen Jiao smiled slightly: "That's right, Lin Hu, we all need to protect ourselves."

Lin Hu did not notice the true intentions of Chen Subaru and Chen Jiao. She looked at Chen Jiao with some confusion and said, "Since we want to protect ourselves, we probably need to strengthen patrols and counter-reconnaissance near the team. But now I There are not enough scouts on hand..."

Chen Jiao's smile remained unchanged: "I also have many scouts in my team. You can take them with you."

Lin Hu was still confused and asked: "Since Master Chen Jiao has decided to raid the enemy's stronghold, why do you want to camp here instead of making a sneak attack at night?"

Chen Jiao smiled bitterly: "Now that the enemy has discovered us, they will definitely continue to follow us. And the young master mentioned that they have powerful detection weapons. From now on, they will notice every step we take. And whether we can reach the stronghold , we still need to rely on our own caution.”

Lin Hu was puzzled: "You mean, the young master expected that we would encounter an enemy ambush on the way to attack?"

Chen Jiao shook her head: "They will always pay attention to us, but they believe that before arriving at the core area, the main pressure is still concentrated on Linhu. Your current task is not only to conduct reconnaissance, but also to pay attention to the traps set by the enemy and cooperate with them. Enemy scouts are circling.”

Although Lin Hu had doubts in her heart, she understood that the gap in combat power could not be made up by asking questions. She didn't know how Chen Jiao continuously conquered the enemy's scout strongholds. However, since Chen Subaru has arranged the attack, she only needs to do her job well, and there is no benefit in worrying too much.

Lin Hu asked Chen Jiao to return to the command position, and she and the scouts were responsible for night patrol. Chen Jiao was convinced of Lin Hu's ability and put the entire army of scouts at her disposal. After replenishing enough manpower, Lin Hu once again entered into a battle with human puppet scouts.

That night, Chen Jiao's men were not threatened, but Lin Hu was extremely busy. Not only does she have to prevent puppet scouts from infiltrating Chen Jiao's camp, but she also has to deal with puppets who try to take advantage of the chaos to spy on Gaoping County's military town. Lin Hu worked closely with his scouts to constantly sabotage the puppets' actions.

Human puppets are extremely cunning and will retreat decisively once their whereabouts are exposed. In the middle of the night, monks will rely on spiritual vision and consciousness exploration to easily find targets with spiritual energy. Therefore, most of them are unwilling to hold torches to enhance visual observation, which makes it easier for monks to ignore some objects at night. Clues that can only be observed by sight. When the human puppet is in action, it is easy to be exposed due to the leakage of spiritual energy. However, when retreating, the human puppet who has used the technique to cover his aura will disappear from the spiritual vision and consciousness of others.

Therefore, Lin Hu and the scouts were exhausted all night, but achieved almost nothing. However, they cannot rest. Once they relax, human puppet scouts will take advantage of the situation. This is a battle of willpower, whoever can persist to the end will win.
