But the army is the army after all, and soldiers are soldiers. Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they must obey orders.
Several people quickly came to Ye Li and saluted, saying, "Five members of the reconnaissance team, report to the commander!"
Ye Li nodded, waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, and said, "Let's get straight to the point. Report the current situation as soon as possible."
The leader nodded without hesitation and said, "Now your Majesty the King and the remnants of other forces are trapped deep in the Fulong Mountains. There is very little space to move around. If the encirclement cannot be broken, your Majesty will be in danger.
There are no enemies at the place where we are now, and the enemy's encirclement is deployed in the central area of the Fulong Mountains.
Twenty troops formed the first row, and a total of two rows of forty troops interlaced to form two echelons, continuously advancing deep into the Fulong Mountains. "
The reconnaissance team explained the current situation in a few words. Ye Li listened with a serious expression, thought for a moment, and asked: "Have you grasped the position of each team in the enemy's encirclement?"
The leader of the reconnaissance team was slightly stunned and said, "Commander, there are experts in the enemy's army. Our strength is limited and we dare not get too close. For now, we only know the exact movements of eight troops, and for the other troops, we only know the approximate movement trajectory and dare not tell the exact location."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, eight teams are enough. Making good use of them may be the key to breaking through this encirclement."
Hearing Ye Li's words, everyone's faces changed. Kai Diwen said, "Master, have you thought of any solution?"
Ye Li was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not really a method, but our advantage now lies in concealment and suddenness. The other party doesn't know of our existence, so we can catch them off guard.
We have a map of the mountains here. Please draw a rough map of the enemy's position and we will take a look at it first."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Kaidiwen hurriedly took out the map he had found before and threw it on the ground.
After taking a look, the leader of the reconnaissance team took out a pen and started drawing on the map, making a total of eight small circles, and then drew two winding lines.
After he finished drawing, he pointed to the circles on the ground and said, "These eight adjacent circles are the exact locations of the eight enemy troops I know, and these two lines are the approximate locations of the remaining troops."
After taking a look, Ye Li pointed to a depression and said, "Do you know the situation of this troop here?"
The leader of the reconnaissance team looked at it and said, "This unit is not too large, about 400 people, but we don't know their specific strength, and we dare not go over to test them. After all, we are only good at fast movement and hiding, and our combat strength is not strong."
After hearing his answer, Ye Li pondered for a moment and said, "They are also wondering why they are stationed in this depression. There are only small hills around, and there is no view."
The leader of the reconnaissance team heard this and said, "I guess they didn't intend to stay here, but they were forced to stay here in order to cooperate with the entire encirclement.
Secondly, they had never thought that there would be enemies in other directions except in the depths of the Fulong Mountains, so they ignored the disadvantages in vision. "
After hearing the analysis from the leader of the reconnaissance team, Ye Li nodded thoughtfully.
After observing the map for a while, he pointed to the circle of low-lying areas and said, “This is it, this is our breakthrough point.
If each of their teams is a stake in this dragnet, then let’s pull out this stake first.”
After Ye Li finished speaking, he stood up and said to Kai Diwen, "Give the order and prepare to leave immediately. It will be dark in a while, and we must try to reach our destination before midnight."
Approaching the battlefield, Ye Li had completely entered the state of commander, exuding a natural aura of leadership.
Kai Diwen and the other two quickly passed the order down, and the five members of the reconnaissance team no longer dared to underestimate Ye Li in the slightest.
After Ye Li finished speaking, he turned to the five members of the reconnaissance team and said, "You five will lead the way. We will rush over as quickly as possible."
When the five reconnaissance team members heard Ye Li's words, they immediately saluted and turned to come in front of the artillery regiment.
It was not until this time that they saw that most of the artillery regiment members had a soul-gathering cannon behind their horses, and a look of shock appeared on their faces.
The matter of the Soul Gathering Cannon has always been the top secret of the Farant Empire. The five scouts are not from the imperial capital, and it is even more impossible for them to know about the Soul Gathering Cannon.
After a moment of shock, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of the five scouts. If the Farant Empire began to possess soul-gathering cannons, then the war situation might be able to turn around.
Ye Li glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone listen carefully, we will have a big battle tonight. I will announce the specific tactical arrangements when we get to the destination.
From now on, all of you must enter a state of preparation and be ready for the battle that may come at any time.
All of you must ensure that your attacks are synchronized, precise, and swift, just like in training. Fast, accurate, and ruthless are my only requirements for you.
Everyone listen up, get ready... go!!!"
Ye Li condensed the spiritual energy of Feng Xing at his mouth, and with a command, the sound spread accurately to everyone's ears.
Everyone was cheered up and started to follow the five members of the reconnaissance team towards the center of the Fulong Mountains.
It got dark quickly. After only two hours, it was dark. They ran at full speed and were not far from their destination.
Ye Li waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
He turned his head to look at the people behind him, and said to Kai Diwen beside him: "We can't run over like this, it's getting dark now, and the sound of horse hooves is so loud that it will easily expose us.
Instruct everyone to find four pieces of cloth, wrap the horses' hooves thickly, slow down their pace, and move forward slowly. "
Kaidiwen quickly conveyed Ye Li's order, and the people in the artillery regiment quickly found cloth, wrapped the four legs of the war horses, and then began to move forward slowly and silently.
Because of the wind-blown spiritual energy, the wheels of the Soul Gathering Cannon did not make much noise and appeared very light, so the movements of the entire team became very quiet.
When the night deepened, the artillery regiment finally arrived near its destination, a forest outside the depression.
After Ye Li stopped the troops, he called over Kai Diwen and his two companions, five masters, as well as the sergeant and the captain of ten men.
