"Who cares what it is!"
"Let's discuss the best way to attack the Shanyue."
Huang Gai waved his hand and said with a displeased expression.
They couldn't see it clearly anyway. Why did they have to look at it?
Perhaps it was just some stones under the thin fog. They couldn't move, so they obviously weren't humans.
Even if they were humans, wouldn't that be perfect?
The thing that Huang Gai was least worried about was meeting the Shanyue people face to face and fighting them head-on.
Huang Gai was still very confident in the strength of Jiangdong's main force.
Putting everything else aside, at the very least, these Shanyue bandits were far inferior to them.
Of course, Huang Gai was not blindly confident.
In fact, these Shanyue bandits had nothing to do with the foreign tribes from the south that they had attacked together.
On the contrary, these Shanyue bandits were almost the same. Their strength was not exactly the same, and the Shanyue bandits were not even as strong as these foreign tribes from the south.
After all, these foreign tribes from the south knew how to unite and fight together.
However, even if they outnumbered the Jiangdong's main force, they were still able to destroy them easily.
In the past few months, they had wiped out more than twenty foreign tribes in one go. It was not just for show.
The strength of Jiangdong's main force was definitely not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Cheng Pu smiled and said,
"Gongji, you've been here the longest. Tell us your opinion."
"Should we kill our way through in one fell swoop, or should we split up?"
"Okay, then I'll give you a brief explanation."
Ling Tong coughed softly and said,
"During this period of time, I've investigated the surroundings of the Shanyue. There are a total of twelve mountain paths."
"Each path is extremely winding, and almost all of them are surrounded by mountains. In other words, it's like a canyon."
"If these Shanyue bandits were prepared in advance and set up archers, it would be very difficult for us to attack."
"Moreover, I've tested that if we want to enter from a single path, only a dozen people can enter at the same time."
"These mountain paths are surprisingly narrow. They only widen halfway up the mountain."
"This is also why Shanyue is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"Therefore, I suggest that we split up and attack from these twelve paths together. Only then will we be able to enter the mountain with the highest efficiency."
Huang Gai could not help but frown.
"What?"
"Didn't you say that if they set up an ambush with archers, it would be difficult for them to climb the mountain?"
"We already have fewer soldiers than them. If we split up, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"
Ling Tong hastily shook his head.
"Old General Huang, I know this very well."
"However, these mountain paths are extremely narrow. Even if 180,000 of us go up the mountain together, we can only go up bit by bit. We can't attack together."
"If we attack from multiple directions, Shanyue won't be able to take care of himself. When that happens, his defense will be much more lax."
Gan Ning nodded heavily and said, "That's right, I don't know what to do.
"I think what Gongji said makes sense."
"If we have 180,000 men, the Shanyue will definitely be able to tell if we concentrate our attacks on one point."
"They'll also concentrate their troops on one point, making it harder for us to climb the mountain."
"After all, they have many archers, but we can only bring so many soldiers."
Huang Gai and Cheng Pu nodded after hearing Gan Ning's explanation.
If that was the case, it was indeed better to attack from multiple directions.
Ling Tong continued.
"The four paths in the middle are the hardest to climb. The others aren't that bad."
"I suggest that each of us take 20,000 men to attack. That'll be the most efficient."
"The rest of the soldiers can be split up on the other paths. The pressure will be much lower than on our four paths."
Huang Gai nodded heavily and said with a smile,
"Good! Since that's the case, let's split up and attack together. "
"This time, we'll definitely beat the shit out of those Shanyue!"
With that, they began to split up the soldiers.
The twelve paths in the Shanyue were quite far apart from each other. It would take a lot of time for the soldiers to arrive one by one.
At the very least, it would take them an entire day to arrange the soldiers.
During this time, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun had a lot of buffer time.
The Shanyue was said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack because of the thin fog.
However, the thin fog only affected the view from the foot of the mountain. It was still relatively clear from the top of the mountain.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici had been on top of the repaired walls for a long time. They could clearly see the movements of the Jiangdong Army.
"Zilong, it looks like they'll only attack tomorrow."
"Let's rest for today. At this speed, it's unlikely that they'll attack us at night."
Taishi Ci finally heaved a sigh of relief and said indifferently.
Zhao Yun shook his head.
"Ziyi, we shouldn't let our guard down."
"Other people might not. But look, a few of the Jiangdong Army units are very close to the mountain path. They'll only need 15 minutes to get ready."
"If they launch a surprise attack, the possibility of that happening is quite high."
"Let's make some preparations and arrange more sentries to watch over them."
"If they really launch a night attack, we'll be prepared."
Tai Shici immediately smiled.
"Not bad, not bad. Zilong is still the most thoughtful."
"Then I'll take my leave."
"As for the other path, I'll have to go personally."
With that, Tai Shici turned and left.
At the foot of the mountain, the twelve paths were winding, but at the top of the mountain, they were very smooth. The twelve paths were connected by a main road, which allowed the soldiers to come and go from one another.
Therefore, it was not without reason that attacking the Shanyue was so difficult.
At that time, Bai Feng had only brought a small number of elite soldiers. With the Ling Tong as a diversion, it was easy for them to go up one of the more remote mountain paths.
After reaching the center of the Shanyue, the Shanyue people's terrain advantage was greatly reduced.
If that was the case, they would be able to destroy everything in their path. Not to mention Bai Feng's troops, they would even be able to put up a fight against those young masters.
Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the 20,000 Jiangdong Army below him.
They had already started to set up camp, as if waiting to attack together.
However, Zhao Yun did not dare to be careless. This might just be a diversion.
If he was deceived by this, then his path would be dangerous.
However, Zhao Yun was not sure who was attacking the mountain below.
Zhao Yun hoped that it was Gan Ning.
Among the four Dongyue Wu generals, Zhao Yun valued Gan Ning the most.
If he defeated Gan Ning, it would be a big improvement to his martial arts.
Because he was afraid that they would be able to tell that he was using the Bright Silver Dragon Gall Spear, Zhao Yun specially took out an ordinary spear to use.
