When Deputy General Ren saw the enemy scouts, he quickly ran to tell Chu Tiankuo.
"Prince, the enemy has sent a scout. Would you like me to kill him first?"
It is not known when their formation will be improved.
Chu Tiankuo heard this and said calmly, "No need, it can be changed in half an hour. You take a few people to act in front of him and say that we will find a way to break the formation soon, and it will be broken in less than an hour."
As for how to act, it was so simple, Ren Yong would arrange it, and Chu Tiankuo did not give any detailed instructions.
"Yes!" Deputy General Ren responded excitedly upon hearing this!
The formation was modified so quickly!
Your Highness the Crown Prince, Master Tang, and the Crown Prince’s junior fellow apprentice are so awesome!
The excited Deputy General Ren immediately brought a few soldiers and appeared not far from the scout to ensure that he could hear it.
Deputy General Ren shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and mark the place. There is only one place left! Let's figure out the terrain here and draw a map to present to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he can break the formation in an hour! Then we can attack the enemy camp overnight and catch the Zhao army off guard! Then we will have something to eat!"
A soldier questioned, "General Ren, can His Royal Highness really break the formation? We have already lost many people in order to test the formation! Can he really break it?"
Deputy General Ren scolded, "Of course it's true! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was once praised by Mr. Shen of Jin as a gifted genius array master. Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has devoted himself to studying arrays. How could this array trap His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Now that you all know that we lost a lot of brothers in order to break this formation, you must be more serious and seize the time to try not to make mistakes. Only in this way can we get out of the snow mountain as soon as possible and avenge our dead brothers! Otherwise, if we continue to stay in the snow mountain, let alone avenge our brothers, we will either starve to death or freeze to death tonight!"
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately agreed: "General Ren is right! Brothers, hurry up! Break the formation!"
"Break the formation! I'm so hungry! I must rush out before I starve to death!"
... ... .
The Zhao scout was hiding not far away. After hearing these words, he did not dare to get any closer and left quickly.

Zhao Army Camp
After hearing the news from the scouts, King Xiang quickly went to Xu Yan's tent.
"Old Xu, the scouts reported that the Crown Prince of Chu divided his soldiers into small teams to explore the terrain layout of various places on the snow mountain. They tried to map the entire snow mountain and then break the formation. They have now explored the last place! They are about to break the formation!"
Xu Yan shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if you explore all the terrain and draw a map, it is not that easy to break my formation. Without..."
He wanted to say that it was absolutely impossible without a day!
But to think that two such powerful young formation masters suddenly appeared in the State of Chu, as well as Chu Tiankuo’s talent for formations, was also amazing back then!
Maybe he has really been studying in secret all these years.
Xu Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "No matter how powerful the Crown Prince of Chu is, can he be compared with Elder Shen of Jin? Even if Elder Shen comes in person, it will take at least half a day to break the formation! Don't worry, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty is worried, the Chu army has been trapped in the snowy mountains for most of the day. They haven't eaten for a day and a night, and they have spent so much energy exploring the terrain. They must be tired and hungry. It's not impossible to send troops into the snowy mountains to besiege them now!"
The Crown Prince of Zhao felt that with the formation in place, their soldiers had rested for most of the day and were full of energy and had their stomachs full. They could completely crush the Chu army that had been trapped in the snowy mountains for most of the day and had not eaten for a day and a night. With the support of the formation, they could be said to have completely crushed them.
The opportunity must not be missed. If Chu Tiankuo really breaks the formation, it will be even more troublesome. We must take this opportunity to keep Chu Tiankuo in the snow scarf forever and severely damage the State of Chu!
He said: "Father, instead of waiting for Wen Yuanqian, it is better to go into battle in advance!"
King Xiang thought about the time Xu Yan took his daughter to Zhao State, but ended up losing again and again, and his daughter was even imprisoned by the Crown Prince of Chu!
Isn’t it because they underestimated the strength of the Chu State’s formation master
Now King Xiang thought of Xu Yan's certainty that the Chu army would not be able to escape from the snow-capped mountains within three days.
He wanted to stay in the snowy mountains for three days, where they would either starve to death or freeze to death. In this way, the Zhao State could win without fighting, so he stationed his troops here and waited.
Now, after hearing the scouts' report and Xu Yan's words, he was afraid of the worst. If Chu Tiankuo really broke through the formation, it would be disastrous! King Xiang immediately said, "Go to battle!"
Two quarters of an hour later, the 30,000-strong Zhao army was assembled, and in the darkness of the night, with the light emitted by the snow, they marched towards the snow-capped mountains in a mighty force.

Snow Mountain
Xingnong, Chu Tiankuo and Tang Lao, commanding a team of soldiers, have modified the original formation. The outer part of the snow mountain has not been changed, but the interior has undergone a major change.
After completing the formation, Xingnong and Tang Lao found a place to avoid the soldiers, entered the creation space, and returned to the mountain.
In the dark night, two teams of soldiers, led by King Xiang and the Crown Prince of Zhao, entered the snow-capped mountains from two directions respectively.
Chu Tiankuo left Ren Yong with a team of 500 soldiers to lure the enemy deep into the snow-capped mountains. Then he led the army out of the snow-capped mountains from another direction and attacked the city of Zhao overnight!
He first led three thousand elite soldiers and disguised themselves as soldiers of the State of Zhao. At the same time, he disguised himself as the prince of the State of Zhao and came to the outside of Hanyang City.
Chu Tiankuo took out the token and said, "Open the city gates. King Xiang will lead his troops to the snowy mountains to destroy the Chu army. I, under the order of King Xiang, will lead 3,000 troops to guard Hanyang City to prevent the enemy from rushing out of the snowy mountains to attack Hanyang!"
The soldiers guarding the city took a look at the token, and recognized the man as the prince of Zhao from his voice and appearance. Moreover, the Chu army was trapped in the snow-capped mountains. King Xiang had indeed sent soldiers to report that he would lead his troops into the snow-capped mountains to kill the enemy, and ordered them to impose martial law all night to prevent the enemy from breaking through the snow-capped mountains formation and launching a sneak attack.
Now King Xiang is still worried, so he specially sends the prince back to guard the city!
The deputy general guarding the city naturally could not recognize the appearance of the soldiers under King Xiang, but he could distinguish the token of the Crown Prince of Zhao and his appearance.
After confirming the token, he signaled the soldiers to open the city gates to welcome Chu Tiankuo's three thousand elite soldiers into the city!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the 50,000-strong Chu army arrived at the city!
The deputy general guarding the city panicked and shouted: "The enemy is attacking the city! Defend the city! Archers, get ready, boulders..."
Chu Tiankuo stood in the main position on the city wall, wielded his sword to kill the deputy general guarding the city, and gave the order: "Kill!"
The Chu army on the city wall quickly killed the soldiers who were about to shoot arrows, and at the same time threw huge stones and red oil down before the Chu army arrived!
At the same time, the city gate opened!
Once again, the 50,000 Chu troops rushed into the city gate like a flood that had broken through the dam, and marched straight in again!
It's dawn!
In just one night, the city of Hanyang changed hands!
This city, which had been occupied by the State of Zhao for the past seven years, once again returned to the hands of the Chu army.
Deputy General Ren lured the Zhao soldiers to the deepest part of the formation and quickly rushed over.
After a day's rest, Chu Tiankuo left 10,000 soldiers under the command of Deputy General Ren to guard the city, and then he set off again with 40,000 soldiers to attack the next city!
As long as we capture one more city, we will be able to take whatever we want from the State of Zhao!
It's been seven years, and it's time to give someone a taste of their own medicine.
Sister Huang, wait for me to take you home!
