Chapter 186 Ambush halfway

Xu Shi.

Li Fei led an army of 100,000 all the way north and finally arrived at a place thirty miles away from Kunyang City.

However, the scene before him made him frown.

The road ahead gradually narrows, with towering mountains on both sides forming a natural pass.

This terrain is too dangerous. If the Eastern Army sets an ambush here, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Li Fei couldn't help but feel a little alert.

"Stop!" Li Fei shouted, his voice exploding in the air like thunder. He waved his right hand violently, signaling the army behind him to stop.

The army stopped in unison, their steps moving as one, without any confusion or hesitation.

Li Fei took a deep breath, scanned the surrounding environment, and then gave an order: "Set up camp here."

He decided to stop advancing temporarily and let the soldiers rest here.

Although this place is a bit desolate, it at least gives everyone time to adjust their state and replenish their energy.

The soldiers immediately took action and began to build tents, make fires and cook.

Li Fei stood aside, observing the situation around him and thinking about his next plan.

He knew that there might be more challenges waiting for them ahead, and that rest now was crucial to maintaining the army's combat effectiveness.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp, illuminating the entire area. The soldiers sat around the bonfire, enjoying the rare quiet time.

Li Fei also joined them and communicated with the soldiers to understand their ideas and needs. He knew that only by unity can we overcome any difficulties.

"General, the terrain here is dangerous. Do we need to send spies to investigate?" suggested the deputy general on the side.

Li Fei nodded: "Well, send out a team of elite spies to search the valleys on both sides carefully, without missing anything."

At the same time, Li Fei also ordered the entire army to remain vigilant just in case.

The deputy general came over and said, "Commander, the people of the Eastern Army never thought that we would come back. They are probably still celebrating these days!"

Li Fei smiled and nodded, "That's right. Our army has changed its commander temporarily, and I don't believe they can guess our whereabouts."

At one o'clock in the morning, the sky had already become completely dark, but the stars and the moon in the sky were exceptionally bright, illuminating the road ahead.

At this time, a team of agile and experienced spies were quietly leaving the Southern Army’s camp and heading towards Kunyang City.

These spies are elites who have undergone rigorous training and are good at concealing their whereabouts and avoiding being discovered by the enemy.

They wore black night clothes, conical hats, and soft-soled shoes, and moved silently.

He held a sharp dagger and a bow and arrow in his hands in case of emergency.

They walked along a winding mountain road. The road was rugged and had towering peaks on both sides, giving people an eerie feeling.

But this did not scare the spies, but instead inspired their fighting spirit. They walked carefully, always keeping alert and paying attention to the movements around them.

Suddenly, a bird flew out of the woods, alerting the spies.

They immediately stopped and looked around, and only continued forward after confirming that there was no danger.

In this way, they moved forward along the way, encountering many difficulties and challenges, but they overcame them one by one with their tenacious will and superb skills.

Finally, around midnight, they reached their destination - the top of a steep mountain.

Before this small group of Southern Army troops got close, they were actually discovered by Wang Feng on the mountain.

He lay in the grass, watching their actions.

"General, do you want to kill them?" a subordinate next to him asked in a low voice.

Wang Feng shook his head: "No, let them pass, don't alarm them, so as not to alert the enemy. Our target is the large force behind us."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to keep quiet.

So, the ambush troops of the Eastern Army hid quietly, waiting for the arrival of the large force of the Southern Army.
