"Your Majesty, we have not yet encountered Qin Ze, and we do not know how much longer it will take."
"I don't know how the others are doing now either."
On the mountain path, Shan Yi looked downcast as he gazed at Wu Kui beside him.
Since being bombarded by boulders at the foot of the mountain, they entered the mountain path beside them, but the path was endless. They had been walking for several hours, but had not yet encountered a single enemy soldier.
That's all. Earlier, I had also vaguely heard shouts of killing coming from afar.
It was clear that the other troops had already encountered the enemy and were engaged in fierce fighting with them.
Even so, Wu Kui still decided to continue. He had been traversing the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he knew from the mountain path that it would lead directly to the highest peak.
Qin Ze must be in a high position to have set up an ambush at Yanluo Mountain. It goes without saying that he must be issuing orders from this high place.
Meanwhile, he had also set up ambushes elsewhere. Although Wu Kui was somewhat uneasy, he believed that his generals were all capable and that unless Qin Ze used several times their number of troops to ambush them, they would not be easily defeated.
In fact, Wu Kui now has reason to believe that there are indeed many ambushes in Yanlu Mountain, with a number of at least 300,000.
With such a large army, Qin Ze was able to undertake such a grand undertaking.
However, from the moment he decided to step into Yanluo Mountain, Wu Kui had already decided that he would never back down even a step!
Even if Qin Ze blocks his retreat, he will not be afraid. The battle in Yanluo Mountain will only bring one victor!
In the end, the one who steps out of Yanluo Mountain will definitely be yourself!
Seeing Shan Yi's worry, Wu Kui said in a deep voice:
"Keep going up!"
"Don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
"Although we lost a lot of soldiers at the foot of the mountain, as long as we can fight the enemy head-on, they are by no means inferior to anyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Rui nodded and said in a resounding voice:
"Your Majesty is right. Hmph, Qin Ze is treacherous and cunning, only good at playing tricks. If it comes to a real head-on battle, his ambushes are no match for us!"
"Bai Miao, Hong Lun, the three Jiao brothers, and my second uncle, which one is the weak one?"
"Heh, I'm afraid Qin Ze's generals would be cut down in just a few moves against them!" Wu Rui said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yi frowned and said in a deep voice:
“It seems that fierce battles have already broken out in various places. Qin Ze dares to make such arrangements because he is probably... somewhat confident.” He lowered his head and glanced cautiously at Wu Kui.
Sure enough, Wu Kui raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Shan Yi, there's no need to always think so highly of others."
"The attack on the foot of the mountain was because he had the advantage of terrain and the initiative. The attack was sudden and that's how we fell into the ambush."
"In a real battle, our troops will not be inferior to theirs. In fact, they are not as good as us at fighting in the mountains."
Despite this, Wu Kui's face was somber, clearly indicating that he still harbored worries.
They have walked a long way since they entered the mountains.
Although the sound of rain was now chaotic and the shouts of battle were almost inaudible, Wu Kui knew that they had already started fighting in various places.
As the commander-in-chief, he had unconditional trust in his subordinates, but at this moment, a sense of unease had quietly begun to grow in his heart.
Furthermore, I still haven't seen Qin Ze...
Looking at the road that was still stretching into the mountains, Wu Kui's expression grew increasingly serious.
The rain was pouring down, and the lone goose beneath my feet hung its head, focused only on hurrying forward, occasionally letting out a snort.
The army continued its march along the mountain path through the mud, and all the soldiers were filled with uncertainty about where they would arrive next and how many troops they would encounter.
Raindrops pattered on the armor, and the infantrymen trudged through the mud, their feet sinking deep into the mud.
Dan Yi turned to look at everyone, a strand of black hair falling across his wrinkled face, forming a stark contrast with the white hair at his temples.
Wu Rui's shouts and curses came from the side:
"Damn it, it just started raining out of nowhere!"
"This mountain terrain is wet and slippery, making it so difficult to traverse. Qin Ze certainly picked a good spot!"
"When I run into him, I'll make him taste the power of my hammer!"
Wu Kui did not respond; he remained silent and rode the lone goose forward.
Dan Yi also kept his lips tightly closed, silently following behind Wu Kui.
Wu Rui wiped the rain off his face, spat on the wet ground, and said indignantly:
"Damn it, after this war is over, when we go to Beiliang, we'll burn down his palace!"
He spoke, but there was still no response. Seeing that no one was talking to him, Wu Rui also felt bored and shook his head without saying anything more.
"well...."
A sigh echoed in Shan Yi's heart.
Unlike Wu Rui, who was both optimistic and always maintained a strong fighting spirit, Shan Yi was filled with dejection at this moment.
After entering Yanluo Mountain, the barbarian army of hundreds of thousands was bombarded by boulders, suffering heavy casualties and being completely scattered. It can be said that they were led by the nose by Qin Ze, who was hiding in the mountains, from beginning to end.
The fact that a battle has deteriorated to this extent shows just how serious the situation has become.
Elsewhere, battles are already raging. What will be the outcome?
Dan Yi hoped that his brothers could lead their troops to slaughter all the enemy soldiers, but reason told him that they were the ones being led by the nose.
"It's truly a case of being at someone else's mercy..."
Dan Yi dared not think about it too much, as it would only make her feel even more depressed.
He lifted his rain-soaked face and looked at Wu Rui, feeling a pang of envy for his simple and straightforward thinking.
