Jin Shan said: "We will wait at the southern mountain pass, and we can determine which road the Haiyang Bang team will come from. According to current information, it is more likely that they will come from both the south and southwest sides. I suggest leaving both of these paths behind, and the others can be ambushed. ”

"I estimate that it is more likely that the Haiyang Bang team will come from due south, because the place where they will fight with Haiyun Bang is due south and west, and we can go to this southwest road to take a look and be sure." Huang Long said.

Kameyama thought for a while before saying, "My proposition is to go step by step, the first step is to determine the ambush here, then quickly notify the team to concentrate here." The second step is to determine the combat position of each team, my opinion is that the Chinese army is ambushed on the road to the north and the hills on both sides, the right army is ambushed on the road to the west and the ridge in the southwest corner, the left army is ambushed on the southeast road and the ridge in the southeast corner, and the vanguard army is ambushed on the hill to the south, leaving the roads in the south and southwest directions, and maneuvering and adjusting according to the situation after the attack begins. ”

"Okay, I agree!" Jin Shan said.

"I agree!" Huang Long nodded and said.

"Okay, then notify the teams and ask them to arrive at their predetermined positions tomorrow morning and prepare for an ambush." Huang Ling said.

After the decision was made, Jin Shan sent a message to Jin Long, Xi Gang, Crocodile Zhong, and Xiongren, telling them all the location, tasks, and requirements of the ambush, and asked them to encourage the soldiers to advance quickly and strive to arrive early.

When Huang Long saw that Jinshan had finished transmitting the sound, he said, "Let's go along the road to the southwest and have a look." ”

Jinshan flew twice around the entire mountain flatland, carefully observing the ambush site again before flying along the road leading to the southwest.

Compared to the road to the south, the road to the southwest is basically a walk along a wide ditch between the mountains, although it curves, there is not much uphill and downhill, it is relatively flat, but the distance is longer.

Huang Long said: "This road is very easy to walk, there is no need to go uphill and downhill. If it were me, I would have chosen to go this way! ”

"Compared to the road due south, this road is really easy to walk!" Jin Shan also said with a sigh.

Kameyama said: "If the Lord of Haiyang wants to recapture the Golden Dragon City as soon as possible, it is impossible to choose a long road, he will definitely choose to take a shortcut and compete with us for time!" ”

"Let's go directly to the front to take a look, and I heard that the lord of Haiyang State has recruited a total of nearly 60,000 soldiers to fight with Haiyun State this time. We only have 30,000 soldiers now, and we don't know if we can succeed in the ambush. Huang Ling said.

"According to the usual situation, there should be some losses in the battle between the Haiyang Bang team and the Haiyun Bang. I estimate that the Haiyang State Lord can bring back about 40,000 troops, and if we take them by surprise when they are tired, there will be no problem in defeating them. Kameyama said.

"It's not enough to defeat them alone, it's best to be able to inflict heavy losses and damage more than one-third of the Haiyang Lord's team in order to lay the foundation for the subsequent battle." Huang Ling said.

Jinshan flew along the road to the southwest for half an hour before flying out of the ridge.

Beyond the mountains, there is a low, shallow grass meadow.

This meadow stretches to the south and west, and is considered a fertile and fertile place.

There are many creatures here, but they all seem to be in a hurry, as if something big is happening.

Kameyama calculated the distance and said, "The road we flew just now is about seventy miles, which is three times the length of the due south road, and the exit from here to the due south road should be fifty or sixty miles. If the place of the battle is relatively close to here, the Haiyang Bang team will choose to advance from here. ”

"In this way, we need to determine the specific place where Haiyang State and Haiyun State will fight." Huang Long said.

"From here to the border between the two states is more than a hundred miles, and to the place of battle between the two states is almost more than two hundred miles, and they can choose the road through the mountains at will from the south." Kameyama said.

"Do you want to keep flying south and see where they want to cross the mountains from?" Jin Shan said.

"No, let's rest on the mountain here. As long as our team is in ambush ground, we have time to adjust, no matter which path they are heading from. If they move forward from this path, we will have more time to adjust. Huang Ling said.

"Okay, then let's go up to the highest mountain, and from there we can see the surroundings." Jin Shan said as he flew towards the mountain.

This ridge is the highest mountain in this large area, and you can see it far from it.

In particular, looking at the grassland to the south, you can see farther, and with the eyes of Jinshan, you can see the situation on the ground more than 30 miles to the south.

Jin Shan found a flat place at the top of the mountain and landed, then gathered his wings.

Huang Ling, Huang Long, and Guishan came down from the back of the Golden Mountain and each found a place to sit and cultivate.

Jin Shan had been flying for a few hours, and he was already a little tired, so he sat down like Huang Ling to absorb energy.

Now, the Haiyang Bang team is still very far away.

According to Guishan's calculations, the earliest time for Hai Duong Bang's team to come here should be at noon tomorrow.

Therefore, Huang Ling decided to stop and cultivate here to prepare for tomorrow's action.

When the golden dragon, rhino gang, crocodile and bear man received the transmission of Jin Shan, they immediately organized their teams to speed up their progress.

The vanguard led by Xi Gang was the first to speed up, and they quickly reached the ridge along the route of the Jinshan flight, and marched through the mountain for more than an hour, reaching the predetermined position in the afternoon, and soon organized the soldiers to ascend the mountain ridge to the south of the flat land.

The Golden Dragon and the Turtle Stone organized the Chinese army to advance closely with the vanguard, and also reached the predetermined position in the evening.

The officers and men of the Right Army and the Left Army had just been formed, and they had not yet undergone rigorous training, and their movements were a little slower, but they all arrived at their predetermined positions in the middle of the night, much earlier than the arrival time stipulated by Jinshan.

After each team arrived at the predetermined position, they all entered the cultivation and actively prepared for battle.

In particular, many of the family officers and soldiers in the Right Army and the Left Army came out to participate in the war for the first time, and the passion for the battle was very high, and the family leaders and commanders always encouraged and encouraged them, making them want to go into battle early.

In short, the officers and men of the Golden Dragon Army were all excited, and they were constantly absorbing energy and fully preparing for battle.

After getting rid of the entanglement and pursuit of Haiyun Bang's soldiers, the speed of the march also increased significantly.

They have been marching for four days since they withdrew from the battle and assembled and returned.

The team with the least trip traveled more than 150 miles, and the team with the most traveled almost 200 miles.

On the evening of the fourth day, they came to the middle of the southern meadow.

It is more than 60 miles away from the intersection of the road in the middle of the northern mountain range, and more than 40 miles from the intersection of the road in the southwest.

Therefore, choosing the path to take the next day became a matter that the lord of Hai Duong and many soldiers were considering.

They all knew that walking from the middle road was a shortcut, and it could be more than 30 miles less than taking the southwest road, but the middle road had to climb over three mountain beams, which was more difficult.

Although the road to the southwest is more than 30 miles long, the road is smooth, easy to walk, and the speed of marching will be relatively fast.

Some soldiers advocated taking the flat road to the southwest, while others insisted on taking a shortcut.

Haiyang State Lord Crocodile Tian preferred to take a shortcut, because he wanted to cross the mountains to the north earlier, return to the capital earlier, and destroy the Golden Dragon Army earlier.
