The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

The sun is high.

Ye Feng led eight thousand cavalrymen, and was followed by Lady Xinling and others.

Just as he had expected last night, he arrived at Wandang Mountain at noon.

The eight thousand cavalrymen were covered in dust and looked tired.

can.

When they saw Wandang Mountain not far away, there were rolling peaks on both sides, one after another, and the middle was like a big canyon. The stone walls on both sides were bare without a single tree.

"This is Wandang Mountain, so steep and dangerous!"

When Luo Cheng saw the terrain of Wandang Mountain, a look of horror appeared on his face.

The other captains were all veterans of the battlefield, so they understood why Ye Feng was racing against time to get to Wandang Mountain.

Given the steepness of the mountain before them, if the enemy occupied Wandang Mountain first, it would be extremely difficult for them to lead the cavalry to get out of the Grand Canyon.

"Old Luo, the Lord of the State is really amazing. How does he know the topography of Wandang Mountain?"

A thousand-man captain couldn't help but mutter.

"My guess is that before the expedition, the Lord of the State had already learned about the terrain along the way. Haven't you noticed that since we left Jinling City, we have been marching with the Lord of the State without exploring the way?"

Luo Cheng recalled that Ye Feng had always been in the lead for the past two days.

No map was used at all, and Ye Feng seemed to have memorized all the marching routes.

He felt that Ye Feng must have planned it in advance and investigated the terrain in advance.

"General Luo, you lead more than ten people to the mountains on both sides to explore and see if there is an ambush. The rest of the soldiers will rest on the spot and replenish food."

Ye Feng looked calm and gave orders to Luo Cheng.

"As ordered!"

Luo Cheng immediately turned around and led more than a dozen cavalrymen, leaving their horses where they were, and rushed quickly towards the mountains on both sides.

"Master Ye, we galloped all night long. We are riding war horses, which are three times faster than humans. Even if Zhang Tai and his men break through Linjiang City, it will take at least a day and a night to reach Wandang Mountain. There is no way they can ambush us."

When Madam Xinling saw that Ye Feng arranged Luo Cheng and others to explore the way, she said with confidence.

"Otherwise! Look carefully at the map. There is another way from Linjiang City to Wandang Mountain." Ye Feng pointed to the outside of Linjiang City on the map and said, "What if Zhang Tai and others knew that we were coming to help, and led the army in advance, bypassed Linjiang City, and ambushed here?"

"Haha... How is this possible? Zhang Tai is a cunning old man, but he is not a fool." Lady Xinling laughed. Zhang Tai was a famous veteran of the Wei Dynasty and a veteran of many battles. He successfully captured Linjiang City and could attack or defend. It was impossible for him to divide his troops to ambush in Wantang Mountain.

"Madam, when marching and fighting, you must not only be brave and move forward, but also be careful and cautious. You must not be careless. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. You must remember your identity. You are not a soldier, but a general."

"If thousands of soldiers died because of your small negligence, you would be a sinner." Ye Feng said righteously to Madam Xinling.

In the future, the Song Dynasty will inevitably have to fight wars in the south and the north. It is impossible for Ye Feng to go to the battlefield personally every time. He must now train promising talents such as Madam Xinling.

"Your Excellency's words make sense. It was I who was careless!"

Madam Xinling felt that what Ye Feng said made sense. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly and anything could happen. It was best to be cautious.

About half an hour later, Luo Cheng quickly came to Ye Feng and said, "Reporting to the Lord of Zhenguo, after careful investigation, there are no ambushes on both sides of the mountain."

Oh...

Ye Feng also took a deep breath.

When he came here along the way, what he was most worried about was Wandang Mountain.

If the enemy occupied the place in advance, the 8,000 cavalrymen he led would be in danger.

"Send a few soldiers to act as scouts and keep an eye on the outside of Wandang Mountain."

"Rest where you are. At sunset, rush out of Wandang Mountain and head towards Linjiang City."

The huge rock hanging in Ye Feng's heart was also completely put down.

Ordered Luo Cheng.

"As ordered!"

Luo Cheng selected a few soldiers and sent them towards the canyon of Wandang Mountain.

Hua Hua Hua...

When many soldiers heard Ye Feng's order, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to rest.

……

At sunset.

Ouyang Lun led an army of 70,000 and arrived at the foot of Wantang Mountain in a mighty force. Looking up, he saw the rugged mountain road, dense jungle, and towering peaks on both sides.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he paused.

"Marshal, what's wrong?"

Zheng Hai and other deputy generals looked at Ouyang Lun, not understanding why Ouyang Lun suddenly stopped when they reached Wandang Mountain.

"The terrain of Wandang Mountain is steep and rugged. It is impossible for an army of 70,000 to pass through it in one go."

“Besides, Wantang Mountain has always been the most dangerous pass in the Song Dynasty. No one knows if there are ambushes there.” Ouyang Lun is the young master of the Ouyang family of the Wei Dynasty and the son of Ouyang Ming. He really wants to kill Ye Feng to gain merit so that he can return and control the Jinyiwei.

But it is also clear that if you are not careful while marching or fighting, you will lose everything.

The terrain of the Wandang Mountain in front of us is dangerous. If 70,000 troops rush up, even if they pass through slowly, it will take most of the day. It might be better to send some vanguard troops to explore it first, and then make plans.

"General Zheng, you will lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard and lead the way. Later, you will lead the army to the top of Wandang Mountain and plant the flag on the top of the mountain."

"I knew there were no ambushes in Wandang Mountain, so I arranged the rest of the soldiers in an orderly manner and rushed to the top of Wandang Mountain to meet you."

Ouyang Lun said to Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai looked a little unhappy when he heard this.

Just as Ouyang Lun said, the terrain of Wandang Mountain was steep. If the Song Dynasty had arranged an ambush between the two peaks, he would be committing suicide if he led 10,000 vanguard troops there first.

He was secretly angry inside, thinking that the words he said in the morning to complain about Ouyang Lun must have been heard by him, and now he was taking revenge on him.

Military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and he dared not disobey them.

"As ordered!"

Zheng Hai bowed, turned around and led an army of 10,000 to climb to the top of Wandang Mountain.

"Report! Repay!"

Many soldiers were still resting when they heard a hurried voice coming from the valley not far away. They saw the scouts who had just been sent out running to Ye Feng in panic and said, "Your Majesty, we found a large army outside Wandang Mountain. Judging from the number, there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers."

"This……"

Luo Cheng and the other eight captains, when they heard the scout's report, all had horror on their faces. They couldn't help but open their mouths wide and look at Ye Feng. They were completely convinced.

If Ye Feng had not been so good at foresight, he would have arrived at Wandang Mountain in advance.

If they set out at dawn as they said, then arriving at Wandang Mountain would be like walking into a trap. The enemy would probably have already set up an ambush, and given the terrain of Wandang Mountain, their entire army would surely be wiped out.

"Zhen Guojun is as wise as a god. We apologize for any offense we have caused you before!"

Deputy generals such as Luo Cheng looked guilty and bowed to Ye Feng.

Along the way, they admired Ye Feng for being able to share the hardships and joys of the march with them.

can.

In his heart, he still didn't regard Ye Feng as a general who could command an army, and he thought he was just following Lady Xinling.

At this moment, they were completely convinced.

If Ye Feng had not been so foresighted, they really could not have imagined how serious the consequences would be if they were late for half a day at Wandang Mountain.

Such a steep terrain was really occupied by the enemy first.

There is a high probability that they will be wiped out.
