Baimulin is a little farther from the west gate of Yefengkou City than Anyu Forest and the east gate.

After passing through the Baimulin forest and walking for about two hours, you will reach Yefengkou.

The assault location chosen by Duan Weijun was within this distance.

Logically, if he could think of an ambush here, the other party would be alert.

It is only a two-hour journey now, and the border patrol will naturally know very well that as long as Region F wants to take action, they can only choose this route.

Then, the closer they get to the Wild Wind Pass, the more vigilant they will be.

Therefore, according to normal thinking, the ambush location chosen by Duan Weijun was not perfect.

Even a little bit worse.

The reason why Duan Weijun chose this place was actually somewhat out of helplessness.

Just as Guan Shanyue said before, the initiative is very important.

They left the city a little late, which gave the enemy army time to attack.

Duan Weijun had told Ning Fan before that he would go out first and take the position, and he would make arrangements after the [Fengqi] and [Spiritual Attack] arrived.

But this proposal was rejected by Ning Fan.

First of all, since it is a competition, both sides must ensure that they start at the same time.

At the very least, it should be like now, one in front and one behind.

Secondly, Duan Weijun had very few people under his command, only 6,000.

With this number, the risk is too great if we are surrounded by the enemy.

Third, and most importantly…

According to Ning Fan's judgment, the other party should first send a team of neither too large nor too small to test the attitude of Region F.

This team is definitely not the elite in Region E, but it is not the kind that can be easily defeated.

If Duan Weijun really brought the [Tiger Camp] to annihilate this team, then the opponent would only have two choices.

Or, negotiate.

Or, really fight!

If it is the second possibility, then the team sent out by the other side will not be much worse even if it cannot beat the [Tiger Camp].

By then, Duan Wei’s army had just won a battle where they defeated a larger force with fewer troops, and it would be difficult for them to resist the elite troops sent by the other side.

When it comes to marching and fighting, Ning Fan really admires Duan Weijun.

However, Ning Fan understood the other party's attitude better than Duan Weijun.

So far, Region E is still not sure whether Region F is really going to break up.

In fact, they have always been in a state of wanting to express dissatisfaction while leaving room for maneuver.

Ning Fan can be sure of this.

Because the 50,000 troops on the west side of the city have not moved yet.

After taking office, Deauville took over the 50,000 people left here by Alfonso.

And these 50,000 people have been stationed in the west of the city.

If Region E really wants to go to war with Region F, these 50,000 people are just their vanguard!

But why didn't they move?

That’s because Region E understands that once these 50,000 people are mobilized, a melee will break out between the two regions.

These 50,000 people might be massacred in Yefengkou!

By then there will be no room for buffer.

Moreover, Region E is also observing the attitude of Region F.

They must have heard that Region F only assembled 20,000 people.

Among these 20,000 people, Ning Fan has 10,000 and Guan Shanyue has 10,000.

With this number of troops, it really doesn't look like an all-out war.

Therefore, people in Region E are taking a chance.

Only after careful consideration will they send out border patrol troops to test the waters.

To put it another way, if they find out that District F is really showing no mercy, the worst that can happen is that they will give up Yefengkou first, pull out the 50,000 troops in the west of the city, and take over the 20,000 troops in District F!

Since you don't want to get better, I have to make you feel pain!

This is the core idea of ​​Region E.

Ning Fan could almost make a rough guess.

After listening to Ning Fan's analysis, Duan Weijun also felt that there was some truth in it.

At this time, Duan Weijun made a decision immediately after receiving Lao Cui's report.

"These 30,000 people will be left to the Regional Patrol Army."

Duan Weijun said to Lao Cui, "We will split our forces into three groups and go around to Baimulin."

Lao Cui was a little surprised.

"General Duan, the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 people should not be very strong. We should be able to defeat them by combining the [Fengqi] and [Spiritual Assault]."

“Yes, I can eat it.”

Duan Weijun understood Lao Cui's thoughts: "But it's not enough to eat."

Lao Cui was puzzled.

Duan Weijun explained: "This place is too close to Yefengkou. Once we start a war with the enemy, it will be impossible to resolve the problem in a short time."

"[Kaishan] is right behind us now. Once they arrive, they will definitely get involved. It's like splitting the cake between two parties."

"Then it will simply become a competition of how fast we kill the enemy, and our advantage of setting off early will be gone!"

Duan Weijun narrowed his eyes. "As long as we can get around to Baimulin, we'll have more options."

"[Opening the Mountain] will delay these 30,000 people, and those in Region E may not know that we have already passed through the Hundred Woods."

"According to Commander Ning's previous analysis, the other side should send troops to continue supporting, and we... will attack them!"

Lao Cui's eyes lit up.

Indeed, instead of attacking now when the opponent is on guard, it is better to wait for the opponent's support from behind.

That was a real sneak attack.

At the end of the day, it's a game.

A competition to see who has the greater results.

Thirty thousand people are not enough to satisfy Duan Weijun’s appetite.

After figuring it out, Duan Weijun led a small team himself, and the two generals Lao Cui and Zhao Bo he brought from the headquarters also led their teams into the darkness.

…

"Duan Weijun of the Border Defense Army has sent a message."

Guan Shanyue sat in the car, and the deputy general beside him reported to him: "The border patrol troops of Region E are already ahead. They number about 30,000, and their combat effectiveness is unknown."

Guan Shanyue, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard the news and slowly raised his eyelids.

The deputy general continued, "Guardian Duan also said that this was the last time they would send us a message, as a way of repaying the favor you gave them for leaving the city first."

Guan Shanyue laughed after hearing this.

"This kid is much more cunning than his father."

The deputy general did not comment on Guan Shanyue's words.

Guan Shanyue looked out the window and thought for a while.

"Notify Zhao Kehao to stay where he is and have Sun Yarong send someone to get some information."

These two people are the two legion commanders of [Kaishan].

"Commander, are you suspecting that the information provided by Duan Weijun is...false?"

"That's definitely not it."

Guan Shanyue shook his head: "False, impossible! But whether there is anything that was omitted due to negligence... I'm not sure."

The deputy general understood immediately and made arrangements without hesitation.

Guan Shanyue placed his hands on his thighs and patted them gently.

"It's more reliable to investigate intelligence yourself."
