Chapter 1848 Light the torch for me!
But now, Li Lai felt inexplicably uneasy again. He even began to doubt whether the situation was still under Long Tingyun's control.
Because, according to the emperor's temperament, he would lead the troops in every battle.
Although he unexpectedly did not personally lead his troops into the Thermidor Crescent last time, which also allowed him to escape disaster, this time, they all knew that according to the emperor's character, he must and must lead the army in person.
Because only in this way can we wash away the humiliation of the previous failure.
However, since they have already chosen the route they gave as the way to attack Thermidor, the emperor should appear here.
But now, he couldn't see the emperor.
On the contrary, the person who appeared here was Lord Wu, who had never appeared in Shazhouwei before.
What about the emperor?
Where is he, and will he personally lead his troops against Thermidor?
Thinking of this, although the cold wind in the valley was blowing and the temperature was colder than during the day, making those people in armor shiver, Li Lai inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't help but look back and glance at Lord Wu Ding who was not far behind him.
At this time, Wu Ding's brows were already furrowed.
He originally thought that he would happily lead his troops into the Hot Moon Crescent to do what he was supposed to do, but now, he could only tiptoe around in this dark valley without making any sound.
Even a torch could not be lit.
It was pitch dark, and he didn't know how many times he had kicked the rocks and banged his arms against the cliffs. He was getting furious.
He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Li Lai turned around and glanced at him, then said softly, "Sir, we are almost there."
"Why can't we light even a torch?"
"this--"
Before Li Lai could open his mouth, a deputy commander beside him whispered, "Lord Wu, before we set out on the expedition, Lord Yang reminded us that we must not make any noise or light while marching on this road. If we are discovered by the bandits, this road will be ruined."
Li Lai also smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, that's right."
As he was speaking, Wu Ding groped his way forward and his shoulder bumped into a protruding rock on the mountain wall next to him.
"ah!"
He frowned in pain and couldn't help but fly into a rage: "What do you mean there can't be any sound, and there can't be any light? How can I fight in such darkness?"
"grown ups……"
"Light the torch for me!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Although they were not under the command of the Duwei Mansion of Shazhou Wei, nor did they have to obey Yang Dai's orders, they could not be careless in fighting. They all knew very well that this route was not suitable for a large army to charge, and they could only launch a surprise attack. Since it was a surprise attack, they naturally could not attract the enemy's attention in advance.
Therefore, several deputy generals around him immediately whispered: "Sir, this is not possible."
"Yes, sir. If we light the torch and are discovered by the bandits inside, our whereabouts will be exposed."
Wu Ding waved his hand impatiently and said, "Bullshit, look, is there anyone here?"
“…”
"Even if we light the torch, can they see it?"
“…”
"Stop talking nonsense and light the torch for me!"
Seeing him like this, everyone had no choice but to carefully light a small torch and have his personal soldiers hold it in front of him to lead the way.
The flames shone, illuminating this narrow space.
