Chapter 153 The Witch, a Scourge to the Soldiers
The next day, Chu Xiaohe reorganized his troops and immediately set off, entering the Xishan mountain range.
Commander Wan asked with a puzzled look, "General Chu, why is Miss Li not here?"
Miss Li is a strategist, after all. Although he doesn't really think a little girl can do anything, everyone has heard of Miss Li's deeds.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, her presence at least gives people a little more peace of mind.
Chu Yueli is not here right now. Could it be that she deserted at the last minute and dared not enter Xishan?
No wonder she told everyone to rest last night; it was because she was afraid of dying!
Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Chu Xiaohe didn't explain further, only saying, "Ali has gone ahead to Xishan to gather military intelligence."
"How could this be?" Commander Wan couldn't believe it.
There are countless bandits lurking in Xishan, and even Prince Jin, with his 15,000 personal guards, was trapped there.
For Chu Yue, a mere weak woman, to go in and gather military intelligence is no different from sending herself to her death.
Chu Xiaohe didn't want to explain and continued walking.
He was in a bad mood and somewhat anxious.
Commander Wan saw it clearly. Could it be that Miss Li really went inside?
Before long, they saw the first mark left by Chu Yueli.
"There's an ambush half a mile ahead!"
Chu Xiaohe looked at Commander Wan and said, "Commander Wan, you will lead three hundred soldiers to search from the left flank. After about a hundred paces, there will be a hidden path behind the bushes on the left flank. There are about three hundred enemy soldiers there. You will flank them from behind."
"General, are you... are you sure?" Commander Wan asked in disbelief.
Such precision, even finding the entrance—how is that possible? Could this truly be a mark left by the young lady?
Furthermore, these markings are quite strange, some completely incomprehensible lines, a jumbled mess... Even Commander Wan was confused.
"Could it be an enemy trap?"
"I believe in Ali 1" Chu Xiaohe is the commander-in-chief, and he has the token in his hand.
Once the token was issued, Commander Wan dared not say another word and immediately led three hundred soldiers to explore the direction and location indicated by Chu Yueli.
As for Chu Xiaohe, he was responsible for providing cover for them and continuing to lead the army forward.
Sure enough, the sounds of fighting broke out in the mountain stream not long after.
Chu Xiaohe's team did not stop and continued to move forward quickly.
"Young Master, the marks left by Miss." After walking about three miles, Chu Yi discovered the traces left by Chu Yue Li.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xiaohe quickly waved his hand and said, "Lord Qi, lead three hundred men and proceed from the right flank. There will be a hidden path a hundred paces ahead, where about three hundred bandits are lying in ambush behind the rocks."
"Yes!"
Having learned from Commander Wan's experience, Commander Qi was now clearly eager to try his hand at the task.
Precision and speed are the qualities that give everyone confidence in Li.
No one knows how Chu Yueli managed to pass through all the enemy's ambush points without being discovered by them, and even find out the location and number of people in each point.
Wasn't she supposed to be a frail little girl? How could she do such a thing!
But no matter how she did it, she did it!
Soon, even Qi Dutong's brothers wiped out the ambushing rebels, leaving no one alive.
The soldiers' morale soared, and they marched forward with their heads held high and chests out, unstoppable.
In contrast, the soldiers trapped in Tin Valley are now in a sorry state.
They saw no hope; all they knew was that if things continued this way, they would surely die.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out, drawing his longsword: "It's all that witch's fault! Brothers, this witch has harmed the prince and the soldiers, let's kill her!"
