Chapter 62 - Occupy the Pathway

Since this elite selected cavalry unit is basically a veteran who has followed Chen Yi for some years, their combat ability is also very strong. It's just that because they are in a relatively special army, Li Fuyan ordered the soldiers in this army to only serve as cavalry, and their merits cannot help them be promoted, but can only help them obtain other benefits, such as substantial help such as official residences and fields. Each soldier in this cavalry force of 5,000 men can be regarded as owning a large part of the family property. According to common sense, they themselves are not short of such a tael of silver, but because of this expedition, they did not carry much money on them, and originally thought that it should not be possible to use silver taels on these two continents. But they never imagined that they would encounter such an opportunity, and the two continents used the same kind of silver tickets. They didn't expect that they were usually the kind of people who were more alcoholic, and even now they didn't have the money to find a place to drink. This is why every soldier in this cavalry is now in high spirits when he hears the reward of a tael of silver.

For their cavalry team, they are basically completely worthy of anyone in a head-on battle, and this kind of reward of one or two pieces of silver per person can be obtained by at least every one of them. If there were really thousands of Fengguo infantry stationed in that passage, it would not be a problem for them to defeat this army with the surprise tactics they were best at, not to mention, they were still marching overnight. I'm afraid it won't take a day for them to be there tomorrow night. If this is the case, their campaign will definitely be a great success, which not only indicates that the Qi army will once again defeat the feudal state, but also shows them that the Empress Shengde and her forces they support are on their side, and their strength is stronger than that of the Chen family, who supports the imperial family. Such deterrence and influence are far greater than the defeat of an army of more than 1,000 men. Chen Yi understands this very well, and he has decided to do this now.

The light cavalry went out and took advantage of the night to walk on the wide gallop without any hindrance. There are two reasons for this, the first is that in the dead of night, the surrounding people are basically resting, and the hooves of each horse of their light cavalry unit are tied with cotton yarn, which makes the sound of horses' hooves very loud very quiet. However, an even more important reason is that the place where they are now marching is itself a buffer zone between the forces of the imperial Chen family and the Empress Chen Xinyu, and the number of ordinary people living here is not large in normal times. In addition, at this time, the Chen family of the royal family has already dispatched a part of the army to relocate the people here back into their sphere of influence. However, this news was unknown to the Qi army.

As a veteran, Chen Yi knew very well that what he needed to do now was to carry out the orders given by his superiors. Moreover, this in itself is in the interests of their army, and winning the first battle can greatly boost morale. No one can understand the situation better than Chen Yi.

"The whole army! speed up, and we will rush to that mountain range before dark tomorrow to deploy in advance!" Chen Yi's second order had already reached the entire army in an instant. The light cavalry picked up speed and continued to move forward. It didn't take long for the army to disappear from sight in the wilderness.

After two hours, Mo You's eyes came again on this gallop road that had been passed by five thousand light cavalry of the Ten Qi Kingdom, and the footsteps of these four figures were extremely fast, and they had arrived here in a short time. In the deep moonlight of the moonlit night, the figures of these four young people could be faintly seen, and one of the girls and the three teenagers around them were discussing what had happened here before.

"According to the current time, it should be about half of the sub-hour, and since we are catching up now, it should be too late. That's how they followed. Let's catch up with them, or we'll lose their direction of marching," it was one of the girls who spoke, dressed in a white dress, and her body half-crouched on the gallop and looked at her surroundings.

This girl, who looked a little older, had already figured out the reason for this in the fastest time period, and after careful observation, she had basically realized that this passage was now the place where the Qi cavalry had passed before, and she could be regarded as the final conclusion. At least at this time, the five thousand cavalry of the Qi State were advancing along this passage.

The three teenagers around them hadn't caught up with the girl's mind yet, but they had decided to follow in her footsteps. Therefore, some time ago, when they left the Qi State camp, they had already decided to follow this girl's footsteps all the way here. It's just that the speed is too fast now, and their minds can't keep up with the thinking of the girl in front of them.

Although they decided to follow in the girl's footsteps. But this did not mean that they did not have doubts and questions, one of the young men in a red robe asked in a low voice: "Shouldn't we go to the vicinity of the garrison of the feudal army to find out the situation now, why do we follow the five thousand cavalry to continue to advance?"

The girl in the white dress got up from the ground, walked up to the young man in the red robe, knocked on his head, and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about in your head all the time? Don't we know the road now? If we want to go to the camp of the feudal country, do we have any other way than to follow the direction of the army? Don't forget, this is a place we don't know well, you want to go there to find something that can guide us?"

The young man in front of him in a red robe was confused by the girl's voice for a while, and the situation became more and more unclear. However, what the girl in the white dress said is indeed reasonable, and the situation they are facing now is indeed not optimistic. In addition, they really didn't know the way, so when they had no choice, it seemed that the only way to follow the cavalry team that was going to cut off the grain route seemed more realistic. The young man in the red robe was really aware that the question he was asking now was a little unthoughtful.

"In that case," the girl in the white dress saw that no one had any objection to her now, "then let's move on, and if we delay here a little longer, we may not be able to catch up with that cavalry force." That's not a good thing" After speaking, the girl in the white dress ignored the three teenagers behind her, and took the lead in facing the clear moon and continued to advance, her goal was to follow the cavalry team sent out to find the location of the feudal camp. Only then will they be able to begin to carry out their actions. Otherwise everything is unrealistic fantasy.

The three teenagers behind him looked at the departure of the girl in the white dress, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Sure enough, it's Sister Yue, it's really a heroine among women" is indeed the case, although Gao Hanyue has lost her memory, her personality is still the same, I originally thought that she has lost her memory now, and her personality will become more gentle, but who knows

"What are you still muttering there, why don't you hurry up and keep up!" "Oh oh oh" The thoughts of the three teenagers were immediately interrupted by this voice, and the three teenagers hurriedly chased after the girl in the long white dress in front of them, and the four of them continued to chase the cavalry team in front of them

On the evening of the second day, the cavalry team led by Chen Yi had galloped day and night after a day and a night, and had quietly arrived at their destination under the cover of night, on the road connecting the two sides of the city and the Demon Spirit Continent. Chen Yi ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot, preparing to wait for the evening to start their strategic planning immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yi happened to quietly enter this passage, that is, the top of a valley to observe what the situation was like inside this valley. There is a suitable garrison, where it is possible to carry out a sneak attack. After a period of observation, Chen Yi probably figured out the situation, this is a very narrow passage, but according to his eyesight, the width can only accommodate a maximum of six or seven horses to move forward together. It wasn't a very wide area, and it wasn't quite enough for their cavalry to fight on a large scale. This is something to think about.

After this period of observation, Chen Yi probably had a number in his heart, there were very steep cliffs on both sides of this canyon, and it was absolutely impossible for troops to be stationed on both sides. The only places that can ambush the soldiers are on the top of the mountain on these two sides. But Chen Yi had also heard Li Fu say that this was the middle ground between the power of Empress Chen Xinyu and the power of the Chen family of the imperial family. Since neither of these forces would be stationed here, they didn't have to worry about ambushing their troops. What they need to accomplish today is to lay an ambush circle here in the shortest possible time, and wait for the arrival of the logistics and transportation of grain and grass to directly launch the final attack. However, Chen Yi now found something that he found very strange, there were countless intertwined rattans growing on the cliffs on both sides of this canyon, and no one seemed to have come here to clean them.

Chen Yi looked back at this deep and unfathomable canyon again, he already had a plan in his heart, perhaps, they had other plans to implement. That's a good idea
