Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 402 - 393: Arriving at Hangu Pass

Watching the domineering Lin Yi in front of him, his heart was also full of joy, and the tiredness of the day instantly disappeared.

Even the blisters formed on his pale feet were no longer painful.

At the same time, under Lin Yi’s domineering offensive, he directly opened his mouth and obediently started eating.

Of course, this behavior of his also changed Lin Yi’s originally monotonous life quite a bit.

The helpless mood improved a lot, as the irritation from the journey gradually calmed down, and he ended up having dinner with him.

This scene was actually unique in the march.

After all, every year, women are not brought along on the battlefield.

Especially in the case of generals like Lin Yi, no one has ever brought their wives or concubines to the front lines.

Such a thing is absolutely unique, and if this matter were to spread, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Of course, though it would be sensational, people would only wonder how one could bring women to battle?

But as for other unnecessary thoughts, probably no one would misunderstand.

After all, Lin Yi’s current identity was still that of a eunuch, and because of this, no one would think along those lines.

Jokingly, although General Lin is now valiant and exceptionally handsome, do not forget, he is a eunuch!

Even if these women were brought to his bed, what use would it be?

Of course, as for what really happened, only Lin Yi himself knows.

Like right now, Lin Yi has come to thoroughly understand a saying, which is that being well-fed and warm leads to thoughts of silver and desire.

The night was naturally uneventful, in short, when Lin Yi got up the next morning, he felt unusually refreshed.

His whole spirit was different.

But, there was an extra person in his carriage now, and that person was none other than him.

That’s right, since he already knew that he had come along, how could he possibly let him continue walking on foot?

Of course, he had to bring him into his own carriage.

And with his addition, there were also more pleasures to be found in the carriage.

Like right now, Lin Yi, in his spare time, had someone make a set of playing cards.

And at this time, Lin Yi was teaching him how to play the game of Sevens, Fives, and Threes.

Of course, playing games must have some stakes to be interesting.

So, Lin Yi directly played the most classic peanut shelling punishment.

That’s right, in this round, whoever scored the least had to peel off a layer of peanut shell.

And along the way on the march, in the end, the two even started arguing over who lost more.

In the end, they even came to blows, and not long after, there were crackling sounds inside the carriage.

Because of such a situation, quickly, a week’s time quietly passed by.

During this week, Lin Yi almost didn’t leave the carriage at all, of course, this was also due to his truly perfect physical strength.

After this week, his whole spirit was exceptionally great, and his previously tired body, which felt almost like it was about to break down, was no longer tired at all.

Lin Yi even fell in love with that bumpy road, after all, such a bumpy road was very energy-efficient to travel on.

On this day, Lin Yi, fully satisfied, walked out of the carriage, standing on the railings of the carriage and looking around, the scout cavalry had already come back to report.

"Reporting to the general, it will only take another three days to reach Hangu Pass.

According to the news from Vanguard Camp, that 300,000-strong barbarian army had just set out from Hu Fu Pass"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi’s eyes immediately lit up.

This was great, he had been worried that by the time he arrived, Hangu Pass would have already been captured.

But now it seems, there is still an opportunity.

Hu Fu Pass is the first city after Yumen Pass.

That is to say, after the barbarians entered from Yumen Pass, they had only just captured one city.

As for the city between Hangu Pass and Hu Fu Pass, this also gave him a great opportunity.

That is to say, the positions of both sides gathering at Hangu Pass were not much different now.

It depends on who is faster.

As long as his side increases the speed, he believes they will surely arrive first.

After all, his side had a clear passage, while the other side still had a fort to obstruct.

As long as that fort does not surrender, they can definitely hold the enemy off for some time.

If they’re lucky, dragging it out for three to five days isn’t an issue.

Of course, even knowing this, knowing that his side might arrive ahead, Lin Yi still ordered the army to start moving at full speed.

Abandoning the time for rest, they marched directly towards Hangu Pass.

In this way, the army, under the effect of the forced march, took only two days and a night to reach below Hangu Pass.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, looking at the tall city walls, Lin Yi was satisfied and nodded.

As per the scout cavalry’s report from ahead, this group of barbarians had indeed been stopped outside that city.

Of course, as this time the barbarians had a large number of troops, the mere 5000 troops in the city could not block for too long.

It was already not easy to resist for these two days.

For this, Lin Yi directly had the scouts sent the message to evacuate the civilians from the city as much as possible.

Then, the defending soldiers gradually withdrew.

Of course, during this period, he did not stop deployment here but quickly had all ten cannons moved onto the city wall.

Positioned at the embrasures of Hangu Pass.

"General, our Qiankun Cannons are already mounted on the city wall, ready to fire at any time.

Moreover, our Firearms Soldiers have also been fully deployed.

If the enemy dares to come, we will ensure they have no return."

Listening to his subordinates’ report, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

As for whether those cannons were properly installed, Lin Yi was not worried at all.

After all, this time, Lin Yi had brought along some craftsmen who specialized in studying cannons, specifically responsible for on-site adjustments and maintenance work.
