Before the second day of the night, a group of young soldiers had followed Ye Li's instructions and quietly led their men out of the camp. It wasn't that they were completely convinced by Ye Li's mysterious military advisor, but if they didn't follow Ye Li, they wouldn't be able to fight. Since it was already like this, they could only tactfully follow his instructions.
It was unknown if this group of young soldiers had some ability or if Zhang Qilan was being courteous, but a few of them actually led their men out of the camp without missing a single one. When they stood in front of Ye Li, they couldn't help but raise their chins and feel a little proud. Ye Li only smiled faintly and nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the group of over a thousand men.
"Military Advisor? What are we going to do? "Someone couldn't help but ask.
In the darkness, Ye Li spread out a map on the ground and squatted down. He used the torch in his hand to point at a few places on the map and said, "General Zhang is leading his men to attract the attention of the enemy. You guys follow me to climb up from these two places and go around to the back of Jian Tian Ya." Someone frowned and said, "Since the Military Advisor already had a plan, why didn't you say so earlier? We could have sent men to scout the way. "Ye Li looked at him and smiled," Scout the way? Do you think that General Lü's men are wooden stakes and won't discover you guys? "
"But we can't see the way at night. How are we going to get there?" Although they didn't know the details, they roughly knew where the path was after looking at the locations pointed out by the Military Advisor. This area was easy to defend and hard to attack. Even in the day, it was dangerous, much less at night.
Ye Li stared at the young man who spoke and said, "That's why I said … I can't guarantee that there won't be any casualties. This is a battlefield! "
Everyone was shocked. That's right, this was a battlefield. On the battlefield, don't even talk about walking in the dark. Sometimes, even if one knew that they would die, they would still sacrifice their lives.
Ye Li looked at them and said, "Those who aren't willing to go can still go back the way you came. I'll give you half an hour to communicate with your subordinates. I want to make it clear that it's not just dangerous to climb up. Even if we reach the cliff safely, it won't be a smooth journey. If you drop the ball on the road, you will be punished according to military law! "
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone returned to Ye Li. Seeing that none of the teams retreated, Ye Li nodded in satisfaction. She turned around and said, "Let's go!"
Although it was already the second night watch period, the night wasn't tranquil. Not far away on a hillside, the two armies were engaged in a fierce battle. Taking advantage of this time, the group of people, led by Qin Feng and Ye Li, quietly climbed up the steep cliff path, with Wei Lin at the back.
It wasn't a long journey, but it took them two hours to reach the top. Ye Li turned to look at the young people under the moonlight. Their clothes were messy but their eyes were bright. She nodded in satisfaction. Although their clothes were torn by the rocks, branches, and weeds on the mountain, and many people had scratches on their faces, no one was left behind. They also didn't make any big mistakes that would attract the attention of the enemy. It seemed that the Mohist army's daily training was very good.
Because the entire mountain was guarded by the enemy, their group of more than a thousand people was not a small number. They were even more careful after going up the mountain. They avoided the eyes and ears of the enemy along the way, and they only reached their destination at the fifth night watch period. When they reached their destination, before Ye Li could tell them to rest, a few figures flashed out from the shadows. Everyone was startled and quickly held their weapons.
"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side." The person who came waved his hand and smiled. The fifth night watch period was the darkest time before dawn. Everyone couldn't see the person's face clearly and naturally didn't dare to let down their guard. Ye Li calmly said, "Feng San." Feng Zhiyao slowly walked over and smiled, "I didn't think that you guys would be able to make it here. I thought that if you guys couldn't make it, we would have to do it ourselves." Only when he walked closer did everyone see clearly that the person who came was Feng Zhiyao.
"General Feng, how come you're here?"
Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "I've been here since the beginning. Wasn't I waiting for you guys? Young master Chu, it's been hard on you. "Ye Li rolled her eyes and asked," How is it? "
Feng Zhiyao said, "Lu Jinxian plans to defend Jian Tian Cliff to the death. Lu Jinxian has about thirty thousand people under him, and at most two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry." Jian Tian Cliff was a strategic location, and the Black Cloud Cavalry couldn't be used here. It would be a waste to leave too many behind. Feng Zhiyao looked at the group behind Ye Li and frowned, "Why are there so few people?"
Ye Li said, "Do you think it's easy to bring people up here? These people are the most limited people. If we drag it out until dawn, we will definitely be discovered. Although we have covered it up a little, the other party may still discover traces of us after dawn. "With a group of new recruits, the concealment along the way naturally wouldn't be too ingenious. If the other party's patrolling soldiers had sharp eyes, they would most likely discover traces of a large group of people walking along the way.
Feng Zhiyao also knew that he was being too demanding. He looked at Ye Li and asked, "I only have three thousand people here. What should we do?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "There's nothing to do. Let's take this opportunity to set a fire behind their backs. If General Zhang grasps the opportunity well, he should be able to rush up."
Feng Zhiyao nodded and said, "Let's do it like that." Ye Li turned around and looked at the people behind her and said, "Rest here for an hour and then set off."
The young general behind her said, "Military Advisor, we are not tired. We can move now!"
Ye Li glanced at him indifferently, "Who cares if you are tired or not? In a while, General Zhang and the others will be fighting. We should take advantage of the moment before dawn to make a move. After causing chaos, we will retreat before the sky turns bright. "The young general who spoke rashly blushed and sat down to rest in embarrassment.
Feng Zhiyao stood to the side and looked at the group of young fellows behind Ye Li with interest. He smiled and said, "It seems that Young Master Chu also has a time when he can't mix well?" Feng Zhiyao's eyes naturally saw that this group of young generals wasn't completely convinced by Ye Li. Ye Li didn't even bother to roll her eyes. She walked to a big tree and sat down to rest. "There's no other way. I've let Young Master Feng down."
Sensing that Ye Li's mood wasn't very good, Feng Zhiyao touched his nose and consciously turned around to find a place to close his eyes and rest.
In the temporary tent outside Jian Tian Cliff, Lu Jinxian sat in a chair and closed his eyes to rest. The generals next to him all had angry expressions. "There are repeated sneak attacks every night. Do they still want people to rest?"
Not to mention that Zhang Qilan's subordinates were very depressed these days, Lu Jinxian's side wasn't relaxed either. They had the advantage of being on the high ground. Basically, the eastern troops had to pay the price of at least five or six people to injure one of them. Moreover, Zhang Qilan definitely wouldn't fight them to the death here. It was fine during the day, but when night came, the other side wouldn't stop tormenting. At night, they couldn't see. If they weren't careful, the other side could sneak up on them. Therefore, the soldiers stationed here couldn't help but be on high alert. After all, no one knew if the other side was just testing them or would really swarm them. After a few days, both sides couldn't help but get angry.
