Outside Cangshan Pass, in the military camp.
Wang Xuandu was reading a book in boredom. After all, the army had arrived at Cangshan Pass. The problem was that the defense of Cangshan Pass was impregnable and could not be broken through directly.
The army was also fine.
Therefore, Wang Xuandu could only read a book.
There was nothing else he could do for the time being.
Wang Xuandu had been unable to find a way to break through the pass, and he was also anxious. However, no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. At this point, he could only wait patiently.
If he was impatient, he would not be able to eat hot tofu.
"Whoosh!!"
Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted.
A gust of cold wind blew in first, and Wang Xuandu could not help but shiver. He tightened his clothes, looked at Zhou Yi who entered, and said, "Military Advisor, how's the situation?"
Zhou Yi said, "Prefectural Governor, we've found it. In order to find this path, we put in a lot of effort and finally found it. I specifically asked around, and there's only one path to Cangshan Pass. "
"The most important thing is that it's extremely secretive."
"The person I asked said that only a few people know about this path, and ordinary people don't know about it at all. This time, we can finally bypass Cangshan Pass directly. "
Zhou Yi said, "Prefectural Governor, this is our opportunity now."
Wang Xuandu thought carefully and suddenly said, "There's no problem since we've found the path. Immediately arrange for people to take this path and see where it leads. Then, come back and report the news, and it won't be too late for us to send troops. Since we've found this path, we have the initiative. "
"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."
Zhou Yi did not dare to delay and immediately got up to make the arrangements.
The soldiers directly entered the mountain, and under the lead of the farmer, they made a trip in a short time. However, the trip took a long time, and it was already evening when the soldiers returned to report to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi came to Wang Xuandu's tent and reported, "Prefectural Governor, this path has been confirmed. It will enter the mountain from our side. We'll come out of Cangshan Pass at a place about seven miles away from Cangshan Pass. Then, we can set off for Cangshan Pass. "
Wang Xuandu said, "Heaven help me!"
At this time, Wang Xuandu stood up excitedly and said, "It wasn't easy to wait for such an excellent opportunity. We can't miss it. Military Advisor, go and gather the troops immediately. Now, we passed the test overnight. After staying up all night, they passed through Cang Mountain. Tomorrow morning, we will rest and reorganize at the border of Cang Mountain. Tomorrow, we will directly attack the army guarding Cang Shan Pass and take it down. "
"Yes!"
Zhou Yi immediately agreed.
After tossing and turning for a few days, Zhou Yi could not hold on any longer.
Now that the opportunity had come, he naturally had to grasp it. He absolutely could not allow anything to go wrong.
After Zhou Yi left, Wang Xuandu put on his armor and a sword hung at his waist. His eyes were unprecedentedly sharp. All the troops quickly assembled. However, when Wang Xuandou arrived at the military drill ground, he didn't give the order to set off for the time being. Instead, he gave a speech to encourage all the soldiers, telling them to go all out.
By the time he finished speaking, the sky had already turned completely dark.
It was even snowing lightly.
Wang Xuandu and Zhou Yi took advantage of the night and quietly left from the back of the camp.
Then, they quietly went into the mountains.
Although the place where they were stationed was relatively spacious, the geographical location was still a little narrow compared to the plains. Therefore, it was not easy for the army to be discovered when they suddenly left from the back.
After the army left, they quickly entered the forest and hurried along the path that they had discovered long ago.
This path wasn't too steep.
It was just that it was winter now, and the mountain was very humid. Moreover, after the snow, the path was a little slippery. The army was hurrying along, so their speed was not considered fast.
After Wang Xuandu's army entered the mountain and walked for a while, the hidden scouts had already discovered them and quickly returned. The speed of a scout was much slower than the speed of a group of soldiers.
Moreover, the scout was not always traveling alone.
Every once in a while, there would be a scout keeping an eye on him. Therefore, every scout only needed to travel a certain distance, and then another person would go back and pass on the message.
The advantage of this was that they could travel at the maximum speed.
Because everyone was at their best when they were traveling.
If one was traveling alone, from the outside of the pass to the inside of the pass, he would have to travel six to seven miles after leaving the mountain. This was a huge burden for a scout.
Especially in the mountains, it was impossible to travel on horseback.
He could only rely on his legs.
Therefore, the current method of passing on the message was the simplest and fastest way. In the wee hours of the morning, the sentries had already returned to Cang Shan Pass and quickly reported the news to their superiors.
Once Meng Jiu You received the news, he went straight to Du Qi's tent with Li Jingcheng.
It was already early in the morning, and Du Qi was already resting.
Meng Jiu You asked Mordor to pass on the message. Not long after, Du Qi got up, and Meng Jiu You and Li Jingcheng hurried in and reported, "Young Master, the army led by Wang Xuandu is already on the way. The path that they took is the one that we discovered. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "They are finally here. Since that is the case, then prepare for an ambush. For this ambush, we will choose the path inside the pass. From the mountain to our Cangshan Pass, there is a total of seven miles. And in this distance, some places are narrow, some places are wide. Our ambush location will be in the narrowest area. "
Li Jingcheng said, "The best location is Jade Mountain Ravine. This area is about two miles long, and the road is relatively narrow, only six to seven feet wide. If we ambush in this area, as long as we block one end and the other end, we can bombard them with cannons from both sides. It will be enough to blow them to pieces. "
Meng Jiu You said, "Young Master, I also agree with Li Jingcheng's suggestion."
Du Qi nodded, "Okay, we will follow this plan. I will leave Mordor to you, you will arrange this battle."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Meng Jiu You and Li Jingcheng both replied.
Both of them were very happy.
After all, Du Qi gave them full authority to command, which meant that he trusted them.
Du Qi waved his hand, Meng Jiu You and Li Jingcheng turned around and left. The two of them walked out of the central tent, but they did not immediately mobilize the troops. After all, Wang Xuandu's army was still a long distance away from Jade Mountain Ravine.
Meng Jiu You and Li Jingcheng went straight to the tent and took out the map.
Li Jingcheng explained the ambush plan in detail.
How to set up the mines.
How to arrange the troops.
How to arrange the cannons.
Li Jingcheng told Meng Jiu You everything. After explaining the plan clearly, Meng Jiu You thought about it carefully and added some details.
The two of them decided on the plan, then brought Mordor and mobilized the army inside the pass to set up the ambush at Jade Mountain Ravine.
