Chapter 1436 Opportunity for a sneak attack
Zhong Jian has already led his men into Yunjing City.
Although Yunjing City has been controlled by the Shenyi Sect, their people want to leave the city every day, so the city gates cannot be kept closed.
Every day, some people would deliver food to the people who were building the Shenyi Palace on Shenyi Mountain, some would go out of the city to farm and collect herbs, and some would be responsible for cutting down trees on the mountains outside.
In fact, there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city every day, and some women are responsible for tasks such as textile cleaning in the city.
The Shenyi Sect sent a team of people to search everywhere for surviving civilians. Occasionally, someone would be found and then forced to migrate to Yunjing City.
Zhong Jian and his group split up into several groups and used this method to sneak into Yunjing City.
Another way is to have some young and middle-aged men working outside. When they have something to do and return to the city, they secretly capture a few people, bring them back to inquire about the situation, and then enter the city in their place.
They also learned some information from the captured people.
The city of Yunjing has been controlled by the Shenyi Sect for a year.
The Shenyi Sect came to Yunjing City a year ago.
Xiao Lanyuan felt a clear difference when he entered the range of Shenyi Mountain.
Coming in from the foot of Shenyi Mountain, there is the former official road.
And this official road is obviously very old.
In other words, this area was not affected by natural disasters in the past, so the roads were not destroyed.
There doesn't seem to be any signs of collapse on Mount Shenyi. There wouldn't be any place that had collapsed and crushed the trees, and then the soil of the mountain was exposed, or there were signs of trees growing again.
The mountains are covered with tall, old trees and vegetation.
Moreover, as they looked over, they could see that the mountain road was winding up the mountain. There was even a pavilion at the top, and they could see a corner of it.
Zhong Jian had been sending people to keep an eye on this place, and he also received Xiao Lanyuan's secret letter two days in advance.
Now he came to greet them personally.
When Xiao Lanyuan and his companions were still some distance away from here, they slowed down, wrapped their horses' hooves with thick cloth, and approached quietly.
It took them more than half a month to reach Yunjing City.
We stopped to rest for a day in the first two days, ate well and drank enough water to replenish our energy, and then we slowly moved forward.
So now they are all in high spirits, as if they have been traveling for half a month.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhong Jian came over, very excited.
He was a little surprised when he saw Tang Wujuan, "Young Master Tang is here too?"
"Yes, yes, how can I not get involved in such an occasion?" Tang Wujuan smiled at Zhong Jian and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Tonight is a perfect time for a sneak attack!"
Zhong Jian immediately took them to a hidden place at the foot of the mountain.
The terrain here is relatively low, with a mountain blocking the front and a bamboo forest on the other side. The men and horses hid here, and the rustling sound of bamboo leaves could cover up any noise.
Zhong Jian has also prepared a shelter for them here.
If someone comes, the sentry will be able to detect it quickly.
They prepared a camp.
Now Zhong Jian was using a sand table made of earth to introduce the attack and defense positions here to Xiao Lanyuan and the others, marking out every place with people.
"This is a logging site. Hundreds of people are logging here every day. There are only a dozen believers watching over them because they are fed poison and have to line up every night to get the antidote for the next day. The believers are not worried that they will sneak away."
"This place is rich in wild vegetables, mushrooms and medicinal herbs. Dozens of people are arranged to come out to dig them every day. However, the main force is the Shenyi believers, and the civilians they bring are just responsible for carrying the loads."
