(The chapter last night was added, and this chapter is a debt)

Chen Hai and the others discussed properly, and decided to continue to advance to the hinterland of the enemy territory, and when they were about to pack their bags and go out of the mountain at night, they heard a subtle sound of "plopping" breaking through the air.

Chen Hai looked up and saw a black shadow sweeping across the night sky from the mountain to the north.

It was a small spirit bird, and its sharp eyes quickly caught Chen Hai's figure standing on the mountain ridge, and let out a piercing whistling sound like a fingernail cutting through glass.

Under the watery moonlight, this was a blue-feathered green bird spirit bird, stretching out its glittering metallic scale claws, directly grabbing Chen Hai's shoulder and falling down.

This is the spirit bird used in the army for emergency transmission, the body size is less than a foot, it is not a fierce spirit bird, but the sense of smell and nose is extremely keen, and it even exceeds the cultivation of the peak powerhouse of the Ming Realm in the nose sense, and the flight speed is also extremely fast.

It's just that the number of spirit hooves is scarce, and Li Xiang has two spirit hooves on standby in front of the sea tent, and it is not an emergency contact message, and it will not be used easily.

Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Zhao Shan, and Shen Kun all looked at each other, and at this time, the messenger Linghu flew over from the direction of the Nantianmen Zhai camp, and the thin metal tube that sealed the letter was still tied to the scales and claws, and it must have been Li Xianghai to order them to return and make other arrangements.

"Let's go!" Chen Hai untied the metal pipe from the spirit hoof's scale claws, but without opening it to see what letters were inside, he turned over and rode on a green cunning horse, and took the lead over the mountains and mountains to gallop south over the shallow snowy grassland.

"Uncle Li's letter, don't you read it, isn't it a little bad?" Zhou Jun Yuma leaned over and asked a little uneasily.

"At this time, if we are in a hurry to march, the enemy army may be lurking closely, and we have not had time to hide our traces, how can we casually light the torch and read the letter?" Chen Hai said, "It is not too late to wait until we enter the boundary of Yanchuan Mansion." ”

Zhou Jun looked up at the bright moonlight, laughed twice, and didn't say anything more, and when they entered the territory of Yanchuan Mansion, even if the letter ordered them to return to the camp, they could also say that they had infiltrated the enemy's territory, and it was easy for the enemy to detect their whereabouts when they returned.

However, only Chen Hai dares to do this kind of thing, and he is not afraid of reprimand.

A total of five times before and after the direction of Tiebi Mountain, the towering giant sword was condensed to open the mountain, and then the night sky returned to the original state of cloudy cover, Chen Hai led his troops to gallop out of Yulong Mountain from the treacherous path an hour later, and entered the sparse forest grassland in the north of Yanchuan Prefecture, and the night sky was as black as ink and fell goose feathers and heavy snow.

At this time, Chen Hai opened the letter brought by Linghu, and sure enough, Li Xianghai ordered them to return to the camp to standby, and the battle plan was arranged separately.

Chen Hai stood on horseback and hastily wrote a reply letter, explaining that they had infiltrated the enemy's territory, and it was easy for the enemy to detect the itinerary if they returned rashly, so they could only take the risk of continuing to sneak into the enemy's hinterland and reconnoiter the enemy's situation as originally planned.

Chen Hai rolled the letter into a slender strip, stuffed it into a metal tube, tied it back to the spirit hoo's scale claws, and let it fly towards the Nantianmen Village camp to the north.

The climate at the southern foot of Yulong Mountain was dry, which was not conducive to farming, and in addition to the confrontation between the two armies, a large number of people were withdrawn from the southern foot of Yulong Mountain, and the villages were sparse; after the autumn of the 71st year of Emperor Yitian, the drought on the north and south sides of Yulong Mountain was alleviated, and the abandoned fields were overgrown with dense weeds and shrubs, which were conducive to Chen Hai and his sneaking around.

There were still two hours before dawn, and seeing that the snow would not stop, Chen Hai and the others had to rush to the mountains more than 100 miles south to rest before dawn, where the valleys were deep and dense, which was convenient for hiding traces and avoiding the reconnaissance of the scouts of the Hexiang army.

They planned to stay there for a day, and then take advantage of the night to travel south, possibly to the south of the Hexiang Army's defensive line.

************************

Nantianmen Village is more than 200 miles away from the southern edge of Yulong Mountain, and the rugged mountains are not conducive to the passage of the army, but the Linghu flies over the mountains to transmit the message, and it only takes half an hour to bring Chen Hai's reply into the Nantianmen Village.

Chen Lie had already rushed to Nantianmen Village as soon as possible, set up the Chinese army's big tent on the eastern wing of the soldiers and horses in Nantianmen Village, and ordered the generals and captains of all the villages on the eastern wing of Yulong Mountain, including those above the director level of the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy, to rush to Nantianmen Village to report to him.

At this time, in Chen Lie's big tent, more than a dozen powerhouses of the Enlightenment Realm had already gathered.

Li Xianghai and the others also knew about the overall plan of the Dadu Protector General's Mansion at this time, and only then did they know that Dong Liang, the Wuwei Shenhou, would personally lead the main force to the south to conquer Lanchuan County this time, planning to tear apart the defense line of the Hexiang Army in the north in one fell swoop, and they had not yet recovered from the huge shock.

Li Hu walked in and handed Chen Hai's reply to Li Xianghai.

Li Xianghai read the letter in the thin papyrus, couldn't cry or laugh, and saw that Chen Lie was looking at the golden sword edict urgently sent from the direction of Tiebi Mountain, and waved Chen Hai's reply to Chen Zhang.

"What, Chen Hai has already led his troops into the enemy territory, so he can only continue to move forward?"

The lights in the big tent were bright, and the generals gathered, Chen Zhang saw Li Xianghai take Chen Hai's reply in his hand, and asked angrily.

Chen Zhang didn't question Li Xianghai, the captain of the Suwu Colonel, who was a higher general than him, but he was annoyed that Chen Hai didn't listen to the greeting at this time, and insisted on acting without permission.

"It is believed that the Linghu has indeed flown back from the territory of Yanchuan County, and Chen Hai has led his troops to return, and there is indeed a possibility of exposure. Li Xianghai explained that he couldn't say that he was ineffective and had no ability to recall Chen Hai's subordinates.

Before tonight, he had sent a total of two teams of men and horses to infiltrate Yanchuan Mansion to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the other team was already on the way back, and Chen Hai's team was determined to continue to act according to the original plan.

Chen Xianran would not accept Li Xianghai to speak for Chen Hai, now the attention of the Hexiang Army is in the direction of Heyang Valley, even if Chen Hai and them expose their whereabouts in the northern part of the Yanchuan Realm, the Hexiang Army is in a mess at this time, how can it be possible to casually send troops to intercept a small group of scouts and horses?

Chen Zhang couldn't guess what Chen Hai was thinking, even if Chen Hai led his troops to continue to infiltrate the enemy's territory, it would be more dangerous, but Chen Hai, as his adoptive father's "son-in-law", took the lead in disobeying the military orders of the big tent, Chen Zhang's heart was extremely unhappy, and he was also worried that Chen Hai's nonsense would affect the prestige of his adoptive father's command of the whole army.

Hearing Chen Zhang's slightly fierce words, Chen Lie raised his head and looked over here.

Li Xianghai asked, "Why don't I go there myself and bring them back?"

He didn't blame Chen Hai for disobeying military orders, but he was worried that the situation in the south was unpredictable, and it was difficult for him to explain what Chen Hai had in front of Chen Lie.

"The big war is about to break out, how can you care about those bastard boys messing around?" Chen Lie frowned, although he was also worried that Chen Hai would continue to sneak into the enemy territory too risky, but he would not let the general in front of the tent venture out at this time in order to recover Chen Hai.

"This guy is really not worry-free!" Chen Qing said with disgust.

The war was about to break out, not only Zhao Ruhui, Zhang Huaiyu and others had to obey the transfer in front of Chen Lie's tent, but thousands of Taoist disciples over the age of fifteen in the Taoist Academy were also organized into the personal soldiers and guard battalions in front of the various tents under the leadership of the Zhuchuan Gong Sect.

Including the nearly 200 teenagers in the Medicine Master Garden's disciple camp, there were nearly 400 disciples in the Taoist Academy, as well as Chen Qing and other directors and deacons, all of whom were directly incorporated into Chen Lie's Huwei camp.

At this time, Chen Qing and Su Ziling naturally rushed to Chen Lie's tent to listen to Hou's order.

Chen Qing admitted that Chen Hai had some talents in military affairs such as military training, but it was precisely because of this that he felt that he should rush back immediately to assist his father in handling military affairs, but he did not expect him to be so willful that he would continue to sneak into the enemy territory with sixty or seventy people.

Chen Hai was incorporated into the army, mainly in front of Li Xianghai's tent, Li Xianghai could vaguely guess what Chen Hai wanted to do, but it was inconvenient to say it directly.

At this time, Su Yuan, who was sitting on the side and helping Chen Lie sort out the copywriting, raised his head, as if he had thought of something, and said to Chen Lie: "The young marquis is alone in the enemy's territory, and he returns rashly at this time, there is indeed a danger of exposing his whereabouts, and it is inconvenient to send someone to pick it up at this critical juncture, but he should be able to send a spirit hoof over so that he can contact him at any time, and if he really encounters any dangerous or advantageous fighter, he can also send news in time." ”

There are not many spirit hooves in the army who have used communication, and Chen Lie can also call seven or eight quick messengers in the Nantianmen Zhai camp, but if he squeezes out one head, there will be no particularly big problems, it is better than a master like Li Xianghai to go in person.

Li Xianghai glanced at Su Yuan, pondered his words, and felt that he should have guessed that Chen Hai had infiltrated the enemy territory to capture a favorable fighter, so he suggested it to Chen Lie.

Thinking of this, Li Xianghai groaned slightly, and also suggested to Chen Lie: "After General Dadu Hu ordered our 30,000 elites to go out of Yulong Mountain, they invaded the walled city at the southern foot and set up camp to protect the flank of the main force, but the battlefield is ever-changing, we should draw men and horses from the generals' guard battalions, and organize an elite cavalry battalion that can maneuver at any time and capture more advantageous fighters......"

There were 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses on the east wing of the Yulong battalion, mainly foot soldiers, and a small number of mobile cavalry were mainly scattered in the generals' guard battalion and patrol battalion. This part of the elite, which can also be said to be the core elite of the soldiers and horses on the east wing, is the private soldiers of the generals, and usually no one is willing to hand it over.

However, as soon as Li Xianghai said this, the eyes of many generals gathered in the big tent lit up, and none of them objected, but looked at Chen Lie with great expectation.

No one is stupid, after General Dadu Hu announced the overall plan, they knew about this battle, at least the first half of which they couldn't even drink a mouthful of broth.

They had all sighed and resigned themselves to their fate, but listening to Li Xianghai and Su Yuan singing and harmonizing, the smart people quickly figured out the taste.

Chen Hai, that bastard, didn't listen to the order to return to the camp, didn't he just want to lurk behind the Hexiang Army's defense line in advance and wait to capture the fighters?

At this time, they handed over the private soldiers in their hands and organized them into an elite cavalry battalion of two or three thousand people, Chen Hai really wanted to have some big enemy information in the Hexiang army's defense line, and more than two thousand elite cavalry could penetrate seven or eight hundred miles in one day and one night to find and defeat the enemy, which was also the only way for them to reap the battle achievements in the first half of the battle.

Besides, the elite cavalry battalion of two or three thousand people can be said to be the scouts and horses sent out by their side, as long as Chen Lie leads the generals and more than 30,000 foot soldiers to garrison the southern foothills, it can be regarded as obeying military orders......
