My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1426: Discussing Strategies

So, the only possibility is that Chen Tianlong is here to scout military intelligence; he’s also looking for us, hence he has prepared in advance.

"Senior Brother, Master Fang Yan, he..."

Chen Tianlong thought of Fang Yan and shed tears sadly.

"Yes, he has passed away. What we can do for him now is reclaim the Assassin Group, expand it, and drive the Sabina people out of Huaxia. This was Master Fang Yan’s lifelong wish."

Wu Guangzu began to comfort Chen Tianlong, after all, he is the third senior brother, and if even he is sad, the junior brothers would definitely be unable to cheer up.

"Understood. Kuang Chenggong, that vile man, one day I will personally kill him to avenge Master." Chen Tianlong bit his lips and vowed.

"Yes, good, this revenge must be taken. However, our task now is not only revenge but also driving the Sabina people out of Huaxia."

Wu Guangzu was no longer so selfish, as he had hundreds of good brothers risking their lives with him. If he ignored the suffering of the populace for personal reasons, what difference would there be between him and the Sabina people?

After saying this, Wu Guangzu directly ordered everyone to rest on the spot. Now that Chen Tianlong was here, there was no need to be too tense about the plan. Wu Guangzu had great trust in Chen Tianlong, knowing he surely had a plan, so he simply put things aside to hear Chen Tianlong’s plan first.

Chen Tianlong quickly narrated his experiences after leaving, starting with the fierce battle against Li Qianchou, followed by the Celestial Pill Sect trial, and then going to the Illusion Realm, up until coming back here to scout military intelligence.

Wu Guangzu listened, dumbfounded. Although he had his own experiences, compared to Chen Tianlong’s, it was like comparing small potatoes to a sorcerer. No wonder the junior brother Chen Tianlong progressed so rapidly.

After that move, when Chen Tianlong flipped backwards, Wu Guangzu had already seen his prowess, which was Celestial Dao Great Perfection, seemingly in the late stage, which was better than his own. He was very surprised; he hadn’t expected this junior brother’s progress to be so swift in just a few months, truly astonishing.

Similarly, Wu Guangzu also told him about his injuries until he established the Assassin Group’s Guard and planned the assault on the Assassin Group with Xiao Feng, disclosing everything to Chen Tianlong.

Chen Tianlong was immediately elated after hearing it because he had received the most accurate intelligence and the deployment details of the opposing force. This was undoubtedly advantageous for the impending battle between the two sides.

"Senior Brother Wu, listening to your report, we have quite the confidence in a complete victory in this battle."

Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.

"Oh? Why do you think so? Could it be that Junior Brother Chen Tianlong has some clever stratagem?" Wu Guangzu asked with a bit of surprise, seeing Chen Tianlong so confident.

"Heh, it’s not exactly a stratagem. But I’ve been here living for two days now. Yesterday, I went to scout the entire military distribution of the Assassin Group, it’s roughly like this..."

Given Wu Guangzu’s familiarity with the Assassin Group, Chen Tianlong simply detailed the positions to him. Both had exceptional memory, and soon everyone was laughing heartily at the riddling communication between the two.

Clearly, they had reached an agreement; Wu Guangzu suddenly stood up, smiling as he said, "Everyone, rest assured, now we don’t need to exhaust ourselves in scouting. The basic intelligence is already stable, all that remains is until tomorrow morning."

Estimating that the army would already have set out, rushing overnight, and after resting till dawn, gathering at the foot of the Assassin Group.

"Hahaha, that’s great indeed."

Commander of the Special Assassination Team, Fang Mou, laughed as he said, "So, this time, that scoundrel Kuang Chenggong is going to meet his end."

At this moment, Chen Tianlong was taken aback and revealed the information he had heard last night, "Speaking of Kuang Chenggong, it seems he’s not here but in the Capital City. Currently, the head here is Kuang Shengtian, along with some grand generals and experts. However, Kuang Shengtian’s wounded army is not very large; I’ve estimated it to be around thirteen hundred people, so while victory looks promising, we need some strategy."

Otherwise, according to what you’ve said, with only five hundred troops, even though they’re well-trained, the Assassin Group is easy to defend and hard to attack; it might not be that simple."

Wu Guangzu’s face sank upon hearing this, agreeing with Chen Tianlong’s notions. If they were to blindly attack the mountain, even with his inside-outside strategy, facing a regular army of thirteen hundred men, his temporary formation, though well-trained and brave, might not achieve the desired outcome when faced with live ammunition.

"So, what insights do you have, Junior Brother Chen Tianlong?"

Wu Guangzu realized that Chen Tianlong was always resourceful and wanted to hear if he had any good plans that didn’t involve direct confrontation to achieve victory.

Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, and considering Wu Guangzu, he didn’t hold back, directly sharing his idea: "Senior Brother Wu, after my reconnaissance last night, I found that most of their forces are assigned to guard the path up the mountain, with numerous obstacles set up. If we engage from the front, it’ll definitely be a losing trade."

"Inside the Assassin Group, there are only about three hundred people. My suggestion is to use a guerrilla strategy from inside to eliminate these three hundred, then take over the headquarters. By then, we’ll control the weapons and explosives, and even if there are more troops at the mountain pass, it’ll be no issue." Chen Tianlong explained.

"Haha, Junior Brother really surprised me; we truly think alike, which is why I established this Assassination Team."

Wu Guangzu felt elated hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, but what surprised him more was discovering that the Assassin Group had only three hundred forces; originally, he thought the main army was there.

"Haha, Senior Brother is truly remarkable."

Chen Tianlong smiled and said, "So the key for us now is how to block the main force from withdrawing and returning. If more than a thousand troops come back to counterattack, then our dozen or so people won’t be able to hold them off."

"Don’t worry about that, Chen Tianlong. We’ve already made arrangements. We have more than five hundred people pretending to launch a feigned attack under the Assassin Group. When the time comes, we’ll have them send reinforcements downwards first, while we attack from the rear, leaving them utterly defeated," Wu Guangzu said, somewhat excitedly.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and found it somewhat problematic. He said, "That’s all well and good, but what if they don’t believe the feigned attack and just wait patiently? How will you break through?"

"Well..."

Wu Guangzu really hadn’t thought about these things, although he had considered them long ago. But to be honest, before meeting Chen Tianlong this time, he planned to take his chances.

"Heh heh, Senior Brother Wu, don’t worry, I have a clever trick." Chen Tianlong thought of the explosive device and suddenly came up with a plan.

"Oh? Really?"

Wu Guangzu was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect Chen Tianlong to be so clever, able to handle anything.

Chen Tianlong nodded vigorously and then began to whisper in Wu Guangzu’s ear. This was a critically important secret. Although everyone here was trustworthy, under the threat of death, they might reveal the secret.

Therefore, Chen Tianlong decided to tell only Wu Guangzu, as he believed Wu Mengting certainly wouldn’t mind.

After everything was discussed, everyone sat aside with their eyes closed. Before coming out, everyone had already brought their dry food and water, so they could manage for a day and night. Tomorrow morning, when the army arrives, they would carry out the internal assassination plan.

As for how to judge if the army had arrived, it was very easy; as long as they saw soldiers on the mountain moving urgently, it could be determined. Generally, when there’s no combat, everything is quite quiet. With combat, there are the sounds of blades and swords everywhere; how could anyone not know?

But the people below didn’t know when it would be officially time to attack. Wu Guangzu’s signal flares were necessary as an inducement.

By this time, everything was ready; only the favorable wind was missing. Everyone closed their eyes to rest, waiting for dawn.

At this moment, on another path leading to the Assassin Group, five hundred soldiers had changed into casual clothes, traveling to the foot of the Assassin Group in groups of three or five. From morning till night, divided into different batches, every half an hour was a batch. Around nine at night, they all reached the foot of the Assassin Group.

Xiao Feng settled everyone in nearby mountain caves or bushes, laying in ambush first. The weapons had been transported ahead of time, and everyone was prepared. After eating, they fell into a quiet rest, waiting for the feigned attack at dawn.

Why didn’t they choose the night?

Because Wu Guangzu had mentioned that the terrain of the Assassin Group was hazardous, and the enemy was already prepared. Going up at night would result in greater losses. During the day, they could see the surroundings clearly and be more cautious.

Therefore, this battle wasn’t a head-on fight but a strategic capture.

With both Xiao Feng and Tan Batian, two Celestial Dao seven-star masters, assisting, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Accompanying them were Assassin Group disciples Ru Nian, Ding Kong, Xiaoliu, and others. The familiar terrain here made them keenly aware that nighttime operations were only useful at the first checkpoint. The further they went, it would be the same as walking into a dead end; this was the characteristic of the Assassin Group: easy to defend and hard to attack.

At this moment, a person appeared at the entrance of the Assassin Group, someone that Xiao Feng, Tan Batian, and the Assassin Group disciples all recognized—Hao Shuai.

After staying in the Hundred Flowers Valley for two days, Hao Shuai felt restless. He was intimate with Xue’Er all night, left a letter, and then left.

He really couldn’t endure Xue’Er’s tearful gaze, so he chose to escape, leaving instead. After all things are settled, he would find her again.

Hao Shuai felt that, in the chaos of the martial world, he was helpless.

He couldn’t afford to be overly sentimental. Without power and strength, everything is talk.

Therefore, he decided to first head to the Assassin Group to find out from Kuang Chenggong and his son and prepare to join the Sabina Country team. Hence, he finally arrived at the foot of the Assassin Group.

"Captain Xiao, it seems that’s Hao Shuai up ahead. Why is he here? Should we capture him?" Ru Nian recognized Hao Shuai at first glance and asked.

"No!"

Xiao Feng was startled, this must never happen. They could not act rashly now; capturing him would definitely expose their identity. Moreover, this person was already at Celestial Dao Great Perfection. By then, they might not catch him, and instead, expose their identity, ruining the entire plan.

"Why?"

Ru Nian asked, actually representing the opinion of several deputy leaders behind him.

"You think about it, in case there is any commotion at the foot of the Assassin Group and they discover our traces, by then the enemy could prepare defenses or call for reinforcements, wouldn’t that end in vain?" Xiao Feng explained.
