They knew they were undertaking an unprecedented mission.
With thousands of exhausted soldiers, they marched hundreds of miles to the heart of the Yan-Yun Road, Youzhou!
After a day and a night of almost non-stop marching, Zhao Muyun's army finally arrived at the designated attack position at dusk on the second day.
A birch forest five miles northwest of Youzhou City.
From here, the massive and majestic outline of Youzhou City can already be clearly seen.
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, it resembles a crouching behemoth, but within this behemoth lies a bomb about to explode.
Zhao Muyun climbed a high slope and gazed at Youzhou City in the twilight.

His mind flashed back to the past few days of running around, crossing rivers, and calculating, as well as to the fallen brothers.
All the efforts and sacrifices will be determined by this very moment.
