Jin Shan said: "We wait at the southern mountain pass and then we can determine which road the Haiyang Bang team came from. According to the current intelligence, they are more likely to come from the south and southwest. I suggest that these two roads come from Leave them all behind, and you can set up an ambush for the others.”
"I estimate that the Haiyang State team is more likely to come from the south, because the place where they will fight with the Haiyun State is west of due south. We can make sure by taking a look at this southwest road first. ." Huang Long said.
Guishan thought for a while and then said: "My idea is to proceed step by step. The first step is to confirm the ambush here, and then quickly notify the team to concentrate here. The second step is to determine the combat positions of each team. My The view is that the Chinese army ambush on the road to the north and the mountains on both sides, the right army ambush on the road to the west and the mountains at the southwest corner, the left army ambush on the southeast road and the mountains at the southeast corner, and the vanguard army ambush on the mountains to the south. The roads due south and southwest are left open, and we will maneuver and adjust according to the situation after the attack begins."
"Okay, I agree!" Jinshan said.
"I agree too!" Huang Long nodded and said.
"Okay, let's give the notice like this, requiring each team to arrive at the predetermined location tomorrow morning and prepare for the ambush." Huang Ling said.
After it was confirmed, Jinshan sent a message to Jinlong, Xigang, Crocodile, and Xiongren, telling them all about the ambush location, tasks and requirements, and asked them to encourage the soldiers to advance quickly and strive to arrive early.
When Huanglong saw that Jinshan's message transmission was completed, he said, "Let's go along the southwest road and have a look."
Jinshan flew around the entire mountain plain twice, carefully observing the ambush site again, and then flew along the road leading to the southwest.
Compared with the road leading due south, this road leading to the southwest basically walks along the wide ditch between the mountains. Although it is curved, there is not much up and down slope. It is relatively flat, but the distance is longer. .
Huang Long said: "This road is easy to walk, and there are no ups and downs. If it were me, I would choose to take this road!"
"Compared to the road due south, this road is really easy to walk!" Jinshan also said with emotion.
Guishan said: "If Lord Haiyang wants to recapture Golden Dragon City as soon as possible, he cannot choose the long road. He will definitely choose to take the shortcut to compete with us for time and speed!"
"Let's go directly to the front to take a look. I heard that the leader of Haiyang has recruited nearly 60,000 soldiers to fight against Haiyun. We only have 30,000 soldiers now. I don't know if the ambush can be successful." Huang Ling said.
"According to normal circumstances, Haiyang State's team should have suffered some losses in the battle with Haiyun State. I estimate that the Haiyang State leader can bring back about 40,000 troops. If we catch them by surprise when they are tired, we will not be able to defeat them. It’s a problem,” Kameyama said.
"It's not enough to just defeat them. It's best to inflict heavy damage and damage more than one-third of Lord Haiyang's team to lay the foundation for the subsequent battle." Huang Ling said.
Jinshan flew along the southwest road for half an hour before flying out of the mountains.
Beyond the mountains is a low, shallow grassland.
This grassland extends 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 has happened.
Guishan calculated the distance and said: "The road we just flew on is about seventy miles, which is three times the length of the due south road. From here to the exit of the due south road should be fifty or sixty miles away. If the battle is far away This is relatively close, so Haiyang Bang’s team will choose to advance from here.”
"From this point of view, we need to determine the specific place where Haiyang State and Haiyun State will fight." Huang Long said.
"It's more than a hundred miles from here to the border between the two states, and almost two hundred miles to the battleground where the two states compete. They can choose the road through the mountains at will when they come from the south." Kameyama said.
"Should we continue flying south and see where they want to cross the mountains?" Jinshan said.
"No need, let's rest on the mountain ridge here. As long as our team is well ambush at the ambush site, no matter which road they advance from, we will have time to adjust. If they advance from this road, we will have time to adjust. It will be more sufficient." Huang Ling said.
"Okay, then let's go to the highest mountain. From there we can see the surrounding situation." Jinshan said as he flew towards the mountain.
This ridge is the highest in this large area, and you can see far away from it.
Especially looking at the grassland to the south, one can see further. With Jinshan's eyes, one can see the situation on the ground more than thirty miles to the south.
Jinshan found a flat spot at the highest point of the mountain to land, and then folded his wings.
Huang Ling, Huang Long, and Guishan got off Jinshan's back and each found a place to sit down and practice.
Jinshan was already a little tired after flying for several hours, so he sat down to absorb energy like Huang Ling.
Now, the Haiyang Bang team is still very far away from here.
According to Guishan's calculations, the earliest time for Haiyang Bang's team to arrive here should be noon tomorrow.
Therefore, Huang Lingcai decided to stop and practice here to prepare for tomorrow's action.
After receiving the message from Jinshan, Jinlong, Xigang, Crocodile, and Xiongren immediately organized their teams to speed up their advance.
The vanguard team led by Xi Gang accelerated first. They quickly arrived at the mountain along the route of Jinshan. They marched in the mountain for more than an hour and arrived at the predetermined position at 11:00 in the afternoon. They quickly organized the soldiers to board the mountain. The mountains to the south of the plains.
Jinlong and Kamishi organized the Chinese army to follow the vanguard and arrived at the predetermined position in the evening.
The officers and soldiers of the Right Army and the Left Army had just been formed and had not yet undergone rigorous training. Their movement speed was slightly slower, but they all arrived at their scheduled positions late at night, much earlier than the arrival time specified by Jinshan.
After each team arrived at the predetermined position, they all entered into practice and actively prepared for battle.
Especially the family soldiers in the Right Army and the Left Army. Many of them came out to participate in the war for the first time. The passion for fighting was very exciting. The leaders of the family constantly encouraged and encouraged them, making them want to go into battle early.
In short, the officers and soldiers of the Golden Dragon Army are all excited and constantly absorbing energy to fully prepare for battle.
After the Haiyang State team got rid of the entanglement and pursuit of Haiyun State soldiers, their marching speed also accelerated significantly.
They had been marching continuously for four days since they withdrew from the battle and gathered back.
The team with the least distance traveled more than 150 miles, and the team with the most distance traveled almost 200 miles.
In the evening of the fourth day, they came to the center of the southern meadow.
It is more than sixty miles away from the intersection of the road in the middle of the northern mountain range, and more than forty miles away from the intersection of the road to the southwest.
Therefore, choosing the road to take the next day became a question that Lord Haiyang and many soldiers were considering.
They all know that walking along the middle road is a shortcut and can save more than 30 miles than taking the southwest road. However, the middle road has to go over three mountain ridges, which is more difficult to travel.
Although the road to the southwest is more than thirty miles long, it is flat, easy to walk, and the marching speed will be faster.
Some soldiers advocated taking the flat road to the southwest, while others insisted on taking the shortcut.
Crocodile Tian, the leader of Haiyang State, prefers to take the shortcut because he wants to cross the mountains to the north earlier, return to the capital earlier, and destroy the Golden Dragon Army earlier.
