——
As its name suggests, Yanluo Mountain has been a treacherous place since ancient times.
Although it is named after a "mountain", it is actually not just an isolated mountain.
In fact, it is a mountain range with high and low peaks, towering into the clouds, while the lower peaks surround the main peak, and there are several other hills.
After several years of intensive work and the use of a large workforce to build roads and bridges, a road was finally carved out in these hilly areas.
For this reason, the annual tax revenue from the East China Sea had to be sent out through Anyang County. The reason was that Anyang County was directly connected to Yanluo Mountain. Once you passed through the mountainous area of Yanluo Mountain, you would be in the central region of Daqian.
Therefore, at noon, Qin Ze left his tent and looked at the surrounding majestic mountains.
It was not a sunny day; the air was damp and cold, the sky was overcast, and a thin mist swirled around the mountains. From time to time, a few hoarse bird calls could be heard from the secluded valley.
A layer of mist had formed on the wild grass on the mountainside. Although it hadn't frozen, it was still quite cold.
Qin Ze looked up and focused his gaze on the highest mountain, which was the landmark of this mountain range and the origin of the name Yanlu Mountain.
Several days have passed since they left Nanyang County, and the army has been traveling non-stop during these days.
The reason for their haste in arriving was naturally to secure advantageous terrain as soon as possible. The eighteen riders from Yanyun were sent to Yanluo Mountain to scout the area.
The final result satisfied Qin Ze. Perhaps it was because Jin Fengluan had never expected that he could conquer Anyang County in such a short time, and therefore there were no ambushes there.
Although it's not happening now, it will definitely happen in the future. The fall of Anyang County will surely cause a sensation in the imperial court. Jin Fengluan will definitely do everything he can to take back such an important military town!
This means that large armies will soon begin heading towards Anyang County, and to get there, they will have to cross Yanlu Mountain.
Now that I've arrived here ahead of everyone else, I must make good use of Shangyanlu Mountain and leave all the troops I'll encounter here!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze's eyes flashed as he looked at the points jumping on the light screen.
The points have reached over 50 million.
This amount of points, if exchanged for infantry, can be exchanged for about 200,000 people. Adding the 100,000 soldiers brought from Anyang County, that's 300,000 people!
This force of 300,000 men is formidable!
However, Qin Ze was not in a hurry to exchange the goods immediately. The imperial army had not yet arrived, and exchanging them at this time would consume too much food and supplies.
First, deploy your troops within this mountainous area and set up sentry posts at various key points outside Yanluo Mountain, especially on the road leading in and out of Yanluo Mountain.
Once a large army is detected approaching, troops can be exchanged for them to fight.
In this mountainous region, relying solely on a single type of soldier is absolutely not feasible. To minimize casualties, multiple types of soldiers and multiple units need to cooperate with each other.
Furthermore, taking advantage of their unique geographical location, they deployed some weapons, such as war siege engines and ballistae, which are long-range killing machines.
As the old saying goes:
"When fighting the enemy, whether in the mountains or on the plains, one must occupy a high place, rely on the terrain, take advantage of the opportunity to strike and thrust, and make it easy to charge and charge. In this way, victory will be achieved."
Having secured a favorable location and possessing a sufficiently strong military force, if they could also seize the opportune moment, they would truly be invincible!
However, since the timing of events is unpredictable, efforts can only be made to improve the terrain and human factors.
Qin Ze immediately summoned his generals.
They are Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.
As for Xu Huang, Qin Ze allowed him to stay in Anyang County and also left him with a considerable number of troops.
Qin Ze looked at everyone and said, "Now, we have entered Yanluo Mountain. The imperial troops have not yet arrived, and it has been several days since Anyang County was captured."
"The news of the fall of Anyang Prefecture must have been sent to the capital by fast horses. Jin Fengluan loves money more than anything, so as soon as Anyang Prefecture is lost, she will definitely send a large army to the capital immediately."
"Therefore, they may already be on their way right now."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dian Wei raised his iron halberd and shouted:
"Good timing! The sooner the better!"
“I hope they can send as many people as possible. Last time we attacked Anyang County, it wasn’t too difficult. We didn’t kill anyone from the Jin family, just her lackeys.”
"If that woman were to personally lead the army, that would be interesting!"
At this point, Dian Wei squinted, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Xu Chu, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke up while stroking his chin:
"The emperor will personally lead the army? That's unlikely. She's a woman; does she have any experience in military operations?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze coldly replied:
"Heh, back when my father was fighting on the front lines, she often issued imperial edicts to command him in battle."
Dian Wei looked surprised and exclaimed, "Wow, she actually has this skill?!"
Qin Ze chuckled:
"By the time the imperial edict arrived, the war had already been over."
"And if the imperial edict is revealed later, and the fighting is carried out according to her orders, ha... even my father would be in grave danger, his life hanging in the balance."
"If she wants to personally lead an expedition, she should come to Yanluo Mountain, hehe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Dian Wei scratched his head and suddenly said, "My lord, what if she didn't come?"
"So, according to your logic, when we attack the capital in the future, this woman will really have to get involved in the battle."
"Do you think she might... issue another imperial edict to command the battle?"
