Capítulo 31: 29. The sudden Callback
as Lingxu still in his army HQ preparing for his next move against the Wei and to go around helping the Qin three pronged army
an Eagle circle around his HQ before seeing him and drop down after Lingxu come out of his tent, The Eagle bring a message from the Dragon Eyes with Lingxu reading it instantly frown his eyebrows
{The Chu are marching, 300k Man are reported} the message were short but the info it give is so deep that even ShouHeiKun after learning it a moment later are surpised by their sudden move
a moment latter, another bird come by and its a pigeon at which almost got killed by the Eagle thinking that its the Enemy Message pigeon
after stoping the Eagle for doing so, the pigeon landed on the Relay station and Lingxu took the message written in it
the message were written by Shoheikun and with it also come with the Kingdom Seal in it meaning that The king also acknowledge that to be an official Letter
{General Lingxu of the Heilong army are to be summoned back to the capital to receive further order} the letter containing the message were then burned by Lingxu
at the same time Mougou also received the same letter informing him of Lingxu call and to finish the battle as fast as its possible
Lingxu having received the order instantly tell his man to retreat from the wei battlefield and start its march towards Chu led by Taidu while Juton coming with Lingxu to the Capital to receive the order
after 4 hours long horse ride, Lingxu who did not even wait for the guard to confirm him instantly rode his horse infront of the Royal Palace with the same doned armor in his body not even bothered to change first
on the Royal Palace were seen 4 man sitting while looking at a map that contain the Whole Chu-Qin predicted battlefield
"Long Lingxu is Here Your majesty, I await further order" said Lingxu cusping his hand and kneeling on one knee
but the one who spoke first is not El Sei but ShoHeikun
"I believe you also know the situation as i also received the report of your army marching towards Chu as we are talking" said Shoheikun
"Yes, I have the latest news that they will be arriving at Nanyan 2 days later with such a big army it will probably only the vanguard and the main army would arrive after the 4th day" said Lingxu not even minding Shoheikun disrespect
"General I order you to go to Xianyang city and defend them until further order, the Xianyang City has a garrison of 30k man, totaling 50k with your own army, we have sent another deployment order to the area and estimated to have around 100k man ready for you to use after you arrive" said El Sei
"I recieve the order, use the eagle for relaying any order or information, i will defend it so don't let me rot there" said Lingxu to Shoheikun while handing him an eagle to use
Lingxu then bid his Farewell to El Sei and the other and rode to Xianyang City ready to defend against the upcoming attack with its army
while Lingxu is on the road, news are traveling fast at which even some soldier in the Sanyou campaign are talking about the current situation
"I heard General Long Lingxu are sent to defend in Xianyang, 100k against 300k army" said one man in Hi Shin unit
"What did you just say?" said Shin to the man
"ah Shin, it seems the Chu goes against the treaty and decide to attack us, the reason why General Lingxu got called back is to defend the onslaught from Chu right now" said the man not understanding why the Commander asked like that
after another 4 hours ride to Xianyang, Lingxu started to organize the Garrison and try his best to ready to man for an attack while also waiting for his own personal army to come and another 50k man sent to him from the capital
"by Tomorrow they should arrive but so did the army of Chu Vanguard" he mumbled while thinking of any tactics that he can use
"Juton, go and submerge some balista arrow to into the oil only the tip of it are enough, and also search for any gourd or anything that can carry oil without spiling" said Lingxu
while he prepare, he also talked to the carpenters and stone masson to help him build some makeshift Catapult even with low accuracy it is doable for such a large army attacking
a day after Lingxu started to barked out order after order, His Army arrive together with the batch of man the kingdom sent
" go and man the South, East, and North wall fully while the West did not need too much guard as it is right by the river, but do not let your guard down as the enemy might cross the river to come up the wall" ordered Lingxu and the people hearing it Cusp their hand and move as ordered
walking while talking to Yue about the incoming attack which estimated will come 2 days later, a scout come and the newest information
"Reporting General"
"its fine, walk with us, speak what you got" said Lingxu still walking and the soldier followed behind
"The enemy has camped in the hills around 40km ahead, I think the full force will come next day at noon, the commander in charge is Yi Bu to known for his relentless attack almost as General Mougou he is cotious man which did not make mistake in his order, the army is filled with infantry and Archer while I only spot around 30k Cavalry but I also spot a lot of Horse near the camp I thinks its their way of using it to get there so fast" said the Soldier ending his report
"How did Chu even manage to have that sort of power is beyond me, but the thing that is clear is that they will come next day and we got less time to prepare, Yue, tell the man to stay vigilant tonight, I don't want any mishap to occur" said Lingxu and sent away the report to think of a plan inside his war room
====================================
To be Continued
(I gave up following the Sanyou campaign, I will create a variable, I just don't have an idea of how to integrate Lingxu to the current sanyou campaign as it is impossible for him to compete with the likes of Ousen or even Replace Ouki with his prowess yeah)
(this battle would totally filled with Lingxu commanding and a bit of him fighting, no other characters are here or will they? who know, but I know for sure that this battle of Xianyang is purely my story)
