Several days later.
As evening fell, the crimson sunset bathed Yanluo Mountain in a rosy glow.
Outside the military camp halfway up the mountain, Qin Ze stood on the edge of the cliff, his gaze sweeping over the entire area.
Troops are stationed in various places, and various weapons have been placed on some high points, which were exchanged in the past few days.
In addition, there are many stones in this mountain, which can be said to be inexhaustible. Therefore, Qin Ze ordered his soldiers to stockpile a lot of them for use in the war machine.
Of course, he also exchanged for some soldiers, but not too many, only tens of thousands.
There's no need to exchange for too many troops right now. It's not too late to exchange them when the enemy troops start to enter Luoyan Mountain.
At this moment, Xu Chu arrived on horseback.
Upon reaching Qin Ze's side, he dismounted and bowed, saying:
"Reporting to my lord, the entrance we used to come to Yanluo Mountain from Anyang County has been blocked!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze nodded slightly.
"Is it properly blocked?"
Xu Zhu nodded and said, "They chopped down a lot of wood and moved a lot of stones. Although the road is wide, it is now completely blocked."
Qin Ze then asked, "How are those paths?"
"Hmm... those winding paths are still being blocked up little by little, but they'll be finished soon," Xu Zhu replied.
Qin Ze nodded in satisfaction.
In the past few days, he ordered his men to block the road they came from, turning Luoyan Mountain into a besieged city.
To be precise, it should be an open cloth bag with only one hole.
That is, the enemy soldiers who are about to step into this cave!
At the entrance to Luoyan Mountain, Qin Ze had already laid an ambush on the nearby cliffs.
The role of these people is naturally not to fight against those who come in.
Instead, after all the enemy troops had entered, they pushed obstacles down from the mountain to block the entrance. In this way, anyone who entered this area would have no way to retreat!
The road we came by was blocked, and even if we wanted to go straight to Anyang County, we couldn't get out of Luoyan Mountain because the road ahead was also blocked!
Of course, the same goes for myself, as well as them.
The Yanlu Mountain area is about to witness a bloody battle. The two sides will fight each other to the death, and in the end, only one side will survive!
Qin Ze has decided to annihilate all invading imperial troops around Yanluo Mountain!
And all that's left to do is wait for the enemy soldiers to come in.
A gentle breeze brushed past Qin Ze. Watching the setting sun cast its last rays, Qin Ze turned his face and gazed for a long time at the long road leading south below...
——
The night was deep, and under the starry sky, Yanluo Mountain was serene.
In winter, most of the wild beasts that used to hunt in the mountains choose to hide in their caves, and even the noisy insects at night are now silent.
But this quiet and desolate night was soon broken by the sound of horses' hooves.
In the darkness of night, a man dressed in winter clothes galloped towards them on horseback, whipping his horse.
He hurried along the mountain road and soon arrived at the military camp where he was stationed.
Inside the tent, Qin Ze was gently awakened by Dian Wei.
"My lord, my lord."
"We have a guest."
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Dian Wei's excited face in the firelight.
Qin Ze leaned back slightly and reached out to push his face away.
"What guest?" Qin Ze yawned.
"Enemy soldiers! We've received news from them!" Dian Wei exclaimed excitedly, hands on his hips.
"Liu Bao brings news that enemy troops have been spotted!"
"Just as you said, that woman really did send someone over in a hurry!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze's drowsiness immediately vanished, and he was instantly refreshed.
"He's finally here! It wasn't for nothing that I waited all these days for him!"
Where is Liu Baoren?
“They’re warming themselves by the fire outside the tent,” Dian Wei replied.
"Let him in," Qin Ze waved his hand.
Soon, Liu Bao entered the tent. Having ridden in through the night, Liu Bao was freezing. He had warmed himself by the fire earlier, and now his face was flushed.
Upon seeing him enter, Qin Ze asked, "Where are the enemy troops?"
Do you know how many soldiers they have?
Liu Bao immediately replied, "We've just reached the furthest point we've explored, fifty li away! As soon as Wang Yang saw their army approaching, he immediately sent a message to the brothers behind them."
"As for the troops, it was dark and Wang Yang said he couldn't see them clearly, only a huge, dark mass. Judging from the deafening sound of horses' hooves, there were quite a few troops!"
"However, they are not moving very fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.
"It's nighttime. The roads outside Yanluo Mountain are flat and you can travel quickly, but once you enter Yanluo Mountain, they become winding and circuitous. Hmm, they're not moving fast, so they might not be planning to cross Yanluo Mountain at night."
"Investigate further and report back!"
——
"Report!"
"Your Majesty! This area is flat, making it a good place to set up a military camp! If we continue for another thirty li, we will enter Yanluo Mountain!"
A rider came from the front and reported to Wu Kui, who was leading a large army on the road.
Upon hearing this, Wu Kui nodded and immediately ordered the army to halt their advance and set up camp there.
A few days ago, after learning that Qin Ze had captured Anyang County, Wu Kui did not intend to march straight to Anyang County. In fact, he was very concerned about the place ahead called "Yanlu Mountain".
This mountain is steep and dangerous, making it an ideal place to set up an ambush.
In addition, the name "Yanluoshan" always made him feel unlucky, and his right eyelid had even been twitching for the past few days.
Several years ago, his father led a barbarian army to fight against Qin Haotian's Chiyan Army. Although his side had the advantage in numbers, they were still defeated by Qin Haotian's trickery.
