Spirit was also a form of energy. Due to the two subsystems in her mental brain domain, Jiang Pengji rarely used it on a large scale. She wanted to prevent her mental strength from being empty and giving the subsystems a chance to stir up trouble. Usually, she strictly controlled the range of her spirit and only covered a hundred meters around her.
If outsiders stepped into the range of her mental domain, she would be able to discover their existence. It was an excellent means of warning. In the future federation, it was extremely difficult for outsiders to assassinate a master with a strong mental brain domain because they could not avoid the first warning line.
Of course, if the killer was also a master with a strong brain domain and extremely precise mental control, there was still a chance of success.
However, Jiang Pengji had yet to encounter one.
In the past, the range of Jiang Pengji's mental coverage was at least a radius of ten thousand meters.
Now, who could snipe her from ten thousand meters away?
A radius of a hundred meters was enough, and it could be used all day long.
Out of caution, when she arrived with her troops, she used her spirit to check carefully. As long as the duration was short, the consumption of her spirit was not great. Soon after, she found thousands of people hiding in the deep mountains! What were these people doing? It was easy to figure it out.
According to normal people's thinking, the troops attacking at night must have come from the camp. Therefore, keeping an eye on the enemy's camp could determine the timing of the enemy's attack. As soon as they moved, the scouts would sound the alarm. Who would have thought that Huang Song would send troops to hide in the mountains early in the morning?
Because they knew that Jiang Pengji would not choose to camp in the mountains, the traces of this group of people would not be exposed.
"What time is it now?"
Jiang Pengji stood up and picked up the God Slaying Sword on the mat. She asked the soldiers guarding outside in a clear voice.
"My lord, it's a quarter past midnight."
Jiang Pengji calculated the time and strode out of the main tent.
"Send someone to inform them immediately that the enemy is coming. The northeast side of the main camp is on alert!"
Jiang Pengji did not use the camera in the streaming room. Although using the camera would not consume her own mental strength, the field of view was limited. Once there was an obstacle, there would be a blind spot in some places. In contrast, Jiang Pengji's mental strength was omnipresent.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised how Jiang Pengji knew this news.
"Yes!"
The guard immediately ran out. The rest of the people stood in place and guarded the main tent loyally.
Jiang Pengji whistled. Little White, who was sleeping nearby, seemed to feel it. It woke up and snorted, then ran toward her.
At the same time —
The enemy's thousands of troops were ready for battle. In order to reduce their movements, the horses' hooves were wrapped in dried grass, and the horses' mouths were also covered.
When the appointed time arrived, a black shadow ran over like a ghost. The other party lowered his voice and said, "General, everything is ready."
"What's the situation in the enemy's camp?"
The man said, "The patrols are still tight, but the tents have not been set up yet. The northeast direction is the best place to break through."
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the camp were connected to each other, stretching for dozens of miles.
This was a huge project. Even with so many people working together, building a proper camp was not something that could be completed in a day.
Jiang Pengji's camp was still half-finished. The soldiers in charge of logistics were working overtime to build it.
The encampment was the first line of defense. If the basic line of defense was not built, it would be easy for the enemy to launch a sneak attack.
"Gather the troops and set off!"
The night was dark, and the campfire in the distance lit up the camp like the brightest pearl in the night.
In ancient times, the conditions for a night attack were harsh. Because the people were malnourished, the prevalence of night blindness was extremely high. Huang Song took great pains to select these thousands of people. The night was dark, but they could still see the road clearly. They sneaked all the way to the enemy's camp.
They thought they were being careful, but they did not know that everything was under Jiang Pengji's control.
The camera in the streaming room had a visual angle, but her spirit did not.
She clearly "saw" the thousands of people split into two groups and sneaked out of the camp …
The enemy was right under her nose, but Jiang Pengji still had the mood to joke. "Wenbin, don't you think this is like what happened in Shanwu City?"
Han Yu was stunned. It took him a while to understand what Jiang Pengji was referring to.
During the battle of Shanwu City, Han Yu took advantage of the "blind spot" of the deserters to secretly send out the men to attack at night. If Jiang Pengji's martial arts were not so good, maybe Xie Ze's night attack would have been successful. Once she died, the crisis in Shanwu City would be solved.
Han Yu smiled. "You think it's similar, my lord?"
Jiang Pengji said sincerely, "But Bogao's is not as good as yours."
Jiang Pengji really did not notice Han Yu's sneak attack. Her usual alert range was either 100 meters or covered the whole camp. It rarely extended beyond the camp. Because the larger the alert range, the longer it lasted, the heavier the burden on her and the easier it was for the system to play tricks.
Han Yu said, "You flatter me, my lord. I don't deserve it."
His lord was very stingy, but she was also very magnanimous. If an ordinary person were to talk about how they had suffered a setback, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. But Jiang Pengji was different. She not only took the initiative to mention it, but she also used it to tease others. She did not hold a grudge at all.
Han Yu was not used to it. He was shocked by her at first and thought she was going to settle scores with him.
As they were talking, the enemy had already sneaked out of the northeast camp.
Because the watchtower had not been built yet, the alert range of the camp was limited.
However, if they were closer, they would be easily discovered.
Jiang Pengji suddenly said, "They're coming …"
As soon as she finished speaking, the enemy's arrows flew over the crude wooden fence of the camp. The arrows rained down from the sky.
For a moment, there were several screams in the camp. It was creepy.
Because Jiang Pengji had asked them to be alert, the soldiers nearby immediately reacted after the wave of arrows. They sounded the alarm and organized to defend against the enemy. The enemy also rushed in at this time. Hundreds of armored horses broke through the paper-made wooden fence. Without the wooden fence, the enemy followed closely behind and successfully rushed into the camp. The archers lit up the fire arrows.
"Kill …"
"Enemy attack …"
The movement quickly spread to the whole camp. Like a pot of boiling hot water, the whole camp was alarmed.
The enemy came aggressively, like a hot knife cutting through butter. They rushed in all the way, but they soon found something was wrong.
The soldiers under Jiang Pengji's tent reacted too quickly!
The fierce momentum seemed to have hit an iron plate and suddenly slowed down.
The enemy appeared one after another, and the soldiers from both sides were in a mess.
"Oh no … We've been tricked!"
Such a swift reaction speed was a clear indication that the enemy was well prepared!
