Chapter 257 Correcting Past Mistakes 1 (2/2)

Zhang Feng lost his arm in the battle that Zhang Yi remembered the first time because reinforcement was not enough and Zhang Feng refused to withdraw and allow the soldiers to be killed and the territory to be invaded by the barbarians.

Zhang Yi could see that because of the emperor's orders it was not to have any nearby Allied army to rescue Zhang Feng, but one of the Allied generals kept a nearby troop because he could expect something to happen at the border and it was this general who saved his father.

After a few more days Zhang Yi can see that the enemy army is getting closer and closer, yet Zhang Yi couldn't say anything before because his father wouldn't believe him, but with the approaching enemy army, Zhang Feng could find out sooner and prepare for battle before.

”Father, I feel that an enemy army is approaching, I ask you to believe me and send some soldiers to verify this and increase the border defenses.”

”What are you saying, Zhang Yi? Are you afraid of being on the border and want the prepared army to invent an invasion of the enemy army? All these years enemies have rarely tried to invade our territory because they know they can't keep that territory for long with our army.”

”Believe me, Dad, send some soldiers to check it out on horseback and strengthen your defenses a little bit, you know I never lied or was a coward.”

Zhang Feng had to agree that Zhang Yi didn't have to be lying like that, besides, Zhang Yi was never someone to be afraid of and even he was the one who asked to come to the border if an enemy army invaded without them being prepared. his troop would lose the battle and many soldiers could die.

”Fine, I'll send some soldiers to reconnoiter.”

Zhang Feng was someone very competent at his job and sent some of the best soldiers in recognition of great horses, he sent the soldiers in different directions through the forest and would make sure any of them could come back showing the report.

Meanwhile using an excuse to simulate Zhang Feng prepared the soldiers to prepare for a border defense war, Zhang Yi was in his tent watching what the reconnaissance soldiers were doing.

These reconnaissance soldiers were reliable men of Zhang Feng and were very competent in their work, the enemy army was confident that they could take Zhang Feng's troops by surprise and so did not bother to guard against opposing soldiers by reconnoitering.

Within hours the reconnaissance troops on horseback could see the enemy army advancing slowly and were surprised, all could return unseen and so Zhang Feng's troops would gain a few days to prepare for war.

Zhang Feng was very surprised when he received the report that the enemies were near the border, it would take just over 1 day of preparation before the slowly moving opposing army arrived, even if it was not possible for the allies to arrive before it was still possible for them to arrive after almost 2 days of the war.

Zhang Feng had already prepared the army for a possible battle and so he just had to get some details right before the opposing army arrived.
