Yelu Chucai stroked his beard and smiled and said: "In this way, we can say that we don't know what happened before, and the subsequent battle is a misunderstanding. By the time they free up their hands, I am afraid that this war will have ended in front of Nanyun City."

Watson nodded and smiled: "King Khan, be more generous. The horses you send out must satisfy them, and don't let them catch you."

Xiao Hei thought for a while and asked: "In a few days, we have to send people out to look out. We can't sit here and get beaten."

Watson looked at the two people and said thoughtfully: "Since it is a sentry, it must be thirty to forty miles away from here. If there is an enemy invasion, how can the sentry report to the Khan?"

From Watson's point of view, weather like this would always seem like a joke to a single firework. If it were covered by wind and snow, it would be troublesome.

Yelu Chucai smiled when he heard this: "It's okay. We have Hai Dongqing who has passed the news, so we still sent out two groups of secret sentries, one at forty miles away and the other at twenty miles away."

Watson clapped his hands, picked up the hot tea in front of him and replied: "In this way, the army will have enough time to set up an ambush at the pass. If they can completely wipe out the enemy, they can simply kill them in two attacks.

"

Xiao Hei laughed when he heard this: "It's just that, they have no evidence, what if there is a storm? This weather is no joke."

Yelu Chucai slapped the table and said quietly: "Then let's arrange it like this. In a few days when the wind and snow calm down, we will arrange for the elderly, children, and women to go to the depths of Yinshan Mountain."

"If we fight another battle and send out five thousand war horses, we will wait for the entire royal court to be under the Yin Mountain. No other royal court will dare to invade here."

From Watson's point of view, only by arranging everything in King Yelu's court can he and Xiao Hei continue to cause trouble for the Nanhai army.

In the cold weather, in order to survive and win the upcoming battle, the prairie army desperately dug three large pits at the pass on the first day.

Each large pit is only fifty feet wide and not fifty feet long.

It was only because the ground was severely frozen that we dug two feet deep on the first day.

It seemed like an unexpected surprise for this talented student. At this speed, he could dig the big hole in three days.

Only this speed can keep up with the reaction speed of the South China Sea army.

The next day, the army worked hard and dug another two feet into the pit.

The third elder, Wokuotai, who was responsible for cutting down trees and cutting stakes, had already burned the sharpened stakes with fire, and everything was waiting for the big hole to be dug.

Everything was going on nervously, and even Xiao Hei flew to the pass from time to time to see the progress of the army.

Watson was sitting in King Khan's tent, making tea and copying down the military principles Li Xiuyuan told him.

An easy memory is not as good as a bad writing. In the days to come, he will study the art of war seriously and deal with the armies of the South China Sea.

On the third day, the army finally dug three large pits down five feet and began to drive burned wooden stakes into the cold soil at the bottom of the pits.

This is a major event to defend our homeland. Tens of thousands of troops braved the wind and snow and still had no complaints.

Because the two dissenting elders had already betrayed Yelu Royal Court last year and left Yelu Royal Court with a group of deserters, and were finally eliminated by Xiao Hei at the pass.

At present, everyone in Yelu Palace is united as one, and everyone must work together to fight against the enemy.

On the fourth day, the wooden stakes in the three large pits had been set up, and the army began to build camouflage with tree branches on the large pits.

The camouflage must consider the skills of the soldiers. If it is too light, it will collapse under the weight of a heavy snow.

It's not too strong, at least it has to be easy for people to step on, but if a war horse rushes through it, it will fall into a big pit.

Facing the Nanhai army trapped in the pit, the army ambushing at the pass can destroy the invading enemy here as long as they are waiting with bows and arrows.

This is a secret plan and an explicit plan by Watson and Yelu Chucai.

The South China Sea Army had no choice but to dare to send a large army. I believe that the war will be over in a few hours.

In such a windy and snowy day, no matter how smart the Nanhai army was, they would never have thought that in just a few days, the Royal Court of Yelu would have laid three large pits, waiting for them to invade.

On the fifth day, all the three Dahangs were well disguised. By the time the army evacuated, the snowflakes flying in the sky had covered the pass with snow, and no trace could be seen.

Watson planned to use seven days to complete the ambush of three traps, but because there were more people and more strength, it only took five days.

It bought time for the army to recuperate and recuperate. It gave the army enough time to polish its bows, arrows and weapons before the enemy invaded.

…

Two secret sentries have been sent out, and they will be replaced every day. This is Yelu Chucai's arrangement.

Although it's freezing cold right now, it can't stop the eagles on the grassland. They have their own way of resisting the wind and cold.

Watson sat in the tent making tea and reading, tormenting himself, while Xiao Hei chatted with King Khan about household matters and the Yelu Pearl, everything was waiting.

Xiao Hei, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at Watson and said, "Watson, do you think the guys from the South China Sea will come to trap me?"

Yelu Chucai, who was lying aside, did not say a word. With Xiao Hei and Watson here, it was not his turn to worry about what was going to happen next.

Watson glanced at the sky outside the tent and thought about how many days it would take the old people and children to reach Yinshan Mountain in this kind of weather.

Putting down the book in his hand, he took a sip of hot tea and said, "They will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. I won't pay attention to how many people are coming. I am still thinking about things on Yinshan Mountain."

From Watson's point of view, most of the bandit nests on Yinshan Mountain are in hard caves, and he and Xiao Hei didn't damage anything last time.

In such windy and snowy weather, it is indeed a good idea to place the elderly and children deep in the mountains.

As long as a thousand strong soldiers are sent to protect it, deep in the Yin Mountains will be the paradise of Yelu King's Court.

Because other royal courts did not dare to enter the sacred mountain, the Nanhai army would not waste time sending people to an empty mountain.

After this battle is over, all the men and horses in Yelu Palace will disappear from here.

As long as he and Xiao Hei set off a handful of divine fire, they could wipe out all the auras on the battlefield.

"How should we arrange our army?" Yelu Chucai, who was hiding aside, was silent for a long time and said, "Waiting like this without a destination really tests one's state of mind."

Watson put down the tea cup and said: "Tomorrow, we will send a thousand soldiers to take the elderly, children, and women to the depths of Yin Mountain. I will draw a map for them."

There was silence in the big tent. Although Yelu Chucai knew that Watson's decision was the right one, he still didn't understand it.

So he frowned slightly and said, "We have many old people and children. Can we accommodate them deep in the Yinshan Mountains?"

It was only then that Xiao Hei said solemnly: "King Khan, don't worry, there are stone houses and caves everywhere, and it will be enough to accommodate your entire Yelu Palace."

Watson shook his head, thinking that it would be impossible for the entire Yelu Palace to hide in the mountains. After all, they would have to make a living by grazing after spring. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a hint of exhaustion.

Looking at Yelu Chucai, he said: "In the end, Wang Ting will have to set up camp under the Yin Mountain and wait for the end of this battle before returning."

Yelu Chucai nodded and asked: "Send off the old people and children, what should we do?"

Watson shook his head and said: "During this period, everyone should not do anything."

Yelu Chucai had a headache and couldn't help but ask: "Are we just going to wait like this?"

Watson glanced at Xiao Hei and said quietly: "What we have to do is wait."

Yelu Chucai was stunned and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Heiruo replied thoughtfully: "Wait until the South China Sea army braves the wind and snow to invade."

"What if they can't come back?" Yelu Chucai didn't believe it.

"It's best if you don't come. When spring comes, you will move to the foot of Yinshan Mountain..."

Watson replied quietly: "If they don't come, you can even spare the five thousand horses, and everyone will pretend that nothing happened."

…

King Khan of Yelu Palace and everyone were waiting. The elderly, children, and women braved the wind and snow and headed deep into the Yin Mountains under the protection of a thousand soldiers.

Watson and Yelu Chucai promised that as soon as the next battle is over, Xiao Hei will go to the depths of Gushan to confirm the safety of the elderly and children.

In Xichun City, three towns in southern Xinjiang, the wind and snow are still there, and patches of snowflakes are falling from the sky.

In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Zhongchen was particularly tired. Seven days had passed and there was still no news about Long Shaoyun and others.

This seemed unbelievable to him. After all, there were two hundred soldiers traveling with him on this trip, as well as five monks from Feixian Island who were in the middle stage of the Tribulation and even in the later stage.

Duanmu Ruolan, who was sitting aside, thought for a while and said softly: "Why don't we let it go in advance and wait until the spring begins to finish the battle and talk about it later."

The military advisor Shang Donglin sitting aside sighed after hearing this, wondering where the great monks from the Yelu Royal Court came from? After all, where are the strengths of the Lan Family Royal Court and the Jiankun Royal Court?

Even he didn't know what happened to the people sent out in such windy and snowy weather?

After all, our side sent five great monks who were in the realm of transcending tribulation, and they should not be underestimated in terms of their numbers and strength. However, such a group of people turned out to be nothing, and there was no more news.

Yun Zhongchen glanced at the gloomy sky outside the hall, remained silent for a long time, then looked at Duanmu Ruolan and sighed.

He said quietly: "If there is no news tomorrow morning, it is time for the military advisor to send some people there. After all, after the spring begins, the army's horses and personnel will need to be replenished."

Shang Donglin respectfully replied: "Don't worry, Young Bird Master, the troops and horses have already been prepared."

Duanmu Ruolan said: "Are you getting impatient anymore? We have a lot of war horses now. Besides, we won't be able to charge after the beginning of spring. I guess we will have to gnaw on a few more hard bones..."

The news she received was that the southern Xinjiang army had a total of twelve trenches in the wasteland, and she had only captured half of them.

After the beginning of spring, we should go all out to capture the remaining half. This is not the time to divide our forces and attack.

Yun Zhongchen suppressed his tired mood and said coldly: "The matter is urgent. We cannot abandon those two hundred soldiers. We have to go and see whether they are alive or dead."

Military Advisor Shang Dongsen has always been low-key and calm. Even now, his expression remains unchanged. After a moment of silence, he quietly said: "How many soldiers should we send?"

"How about three thousand?" Yun Zhongchen said coldly: "I'm afraid that if we don't have enough people and we can't do this, then wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?"

The corners of Duanmu Ruolan's mouth moved, but she finally said no more about her decision.

In her opinion, if she spoke too much and made Yun Zhongchen unhappy and made Shang Donglin suspicious, it would be better to let the two of them decide on their own.

Shang Donglin thought for a while and said: "Three thousand is too much, so let's reduce it by half. It's hard to arrange food and supplies for a large army and horses when traveling. Even the leading monks don't need too many, just two."

Yun Zhongchen was slightly startled and asked: "Why?"

Shang Donglin said: "If we are really in danger, there is not much use in having more people. This is a windy and snowy weather... We cannot afford to lose any more monks in the Tribulation Realm."

Yun Zhongchen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said quietly: "Just as the military advisor said, send out 1,500 soldiers, led by two generals from the Tribulation Realm, and be sure to bring back the people from before."

Duanmu Ruolan looked at the two of them quietly and said softly: "Next, we need to let the army recuperate and prepare food and grass until the battle begins after the spring."
