In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

"Oh? What's your plan?"

General Guan now attaches great importance to Li Yi. When Li Yi spoke, his gaze instantly darkened, and he looked at Li Yi expectantly.

"Now that winter has arrived, there is often light snow outside Yanmen Pass, which puts a lot of pressure on logistics."

"Unlike us, the Qing Kingdom has fortified cities to defend. They need a lot of supplies to withstand the cold, and the cold weather makes it more difficult to transport supplies."

Li Yi arrived at the sand table and began gesturing at the terrain outside Yanmen Pass.

"In that case, let's destroy the Qing Kingdom's grain depot!"

"I am willing to lead my Wind Tiger Battalion in a night raid to burn down their grain depot!"

"When the Qing Kingdom's granaries are burned and chaos ensues, the general will personally lead a large army in a surprise attack."

"In this way, we will surely defeat them!"

"Even if we can't achieve complete success in one go, we can still weaken their strength!"

Of the spoils that Li Yi received last time, he kept only one thousand taels for himself and used the rest to train his personal guard and the Wind Tiger Battalion under his command.

Now, all of Li Yi's personal guards have entered the first level of Body Refinement, and most of them are even at the second level!

More than half of the Wind Tiger Battalion under his command are experts at least at the first level of Body Refinement!

This powerful Wind Tiger Battalion is the source of Li Yi's confidence!

"This plan is excellent."

After listening to the plan, General Guan thought it was feasible and kept key generals such as Song Jie and Li Yi behind to refine Li Yi's strategy.

"To prevent leaks, we'll act tonight!"

Yanmen Pass was a military stronghold with a large stockpile of war supplies. When news of the invasion of 20,000 troops from the Qing Kingdom arrived, many soldiers were on high alert.

Therefore, General Guan could lead his men to cooperate with Li Yi at any time and take the initiative to launch this battle.

Upon seeing Li Yi request to fight, General Guan thought for a moment and then agreed. He immediately ordered Song Jie and others to prepare the troops for battle.

After discussing the details with General Guan, Li Yi returned to his Wind Tiger Camp.

At this moment, squads of archers were training in archery, while the infantry of the three garrisons, led by Han Jia, were practicing battle formations.

"grown ups!"

Upon seeing Li Yi arrive, Han Jia quickly stepped forward.

Now Li Yi is a military commander in charge of a unit of troops, no longer the small garrison leader he used to be. Therefore, Han Jia will address him by his official title in public.

Li Yi nodded, watching the soldiers train.

"I have already discussed with General Guan that we will launch a night raid on the Qing Kingdom's army tonight."

Inside the tent, Li Yi addressed the crowd.

The eight village chiefs, Han Jia, Li Xin, Liu Ye, and others listened attentively to Li Yi's words.

Now, Li Yi has his own team.

"We'll slaughter a sheep and serve wine at noon today, so everyone can eat and drink their fill!"

"After lunch, get a good night's sleep, and then after dinner, we'll leave Yanmen Pass to carry out our mission!"

"Li Xin, you must make sure to arrange the meals and all preparations for the night raid are in place!"

After arranging Li Xin's work, Li Yi gave Han Jia some instructions.

Under Li Yi's arrangement, the entire Wind Tiger Battalion mobilized.

Meanwhile, news that Li Yi was going to lead his troops into battle spread throughout the camp.

For a moment, the entire camp was filled with anticipation and fighting spirit.

They followed Li Yi in order to win battles, earn merit, and receive rewards.

Li Yi's previous victories and generous rewards had completely won them over, and they obeyed him without question.

As dusk fell, the five hundred soldiers, fully armed, stood before Li Yi.

"I believe you are already aware of our mission."

"I won't waste any more time with pleasantries; we have only one objective this time!"

"That's meritorious service! Meritorious service! And damn it, meritorious service!"

"As long as you achieve merit, you can have your pick of wine, meat, gold, silver, martial arts skills, and weapons!"

Li Yi rallied the army, while behind him, Li Xin had already pushed out three thousand taels of silver and placed it in front of everyone.

"This silver is just an appetizer!"

"Whether you get a few taels of silver as a reward or are paid in full gold depends on your performance tonight!"

The entire camp erupted in excitement after the silver was presented.

"Those who performed best tonight will be recruited into the personal guard by the Commander of this Division, and will be taught more advanced breathing techniques!"

Most of these soldiers only practiced the most basic breathing techniques, while the guards who practiced advanced breathing techniques were also well-known for their strength. They were able to fight and win against several people of the same level who attacked them at once!

"Dare to disobey even unto death!"

"We will obey your orders!"

For a time, the shouts of the Wind Tiger Battalion could be heard throughout the entire military camp.

"Set off!"

Seeing that the morale of the troops was greatly boosted and their spirits were high, Li Yi waved his hand and led the group straight towards the city gate.

In early winter, it gets dark very early at Yanmen Pass.

Under the cover of night, Li Yi quickly led the Wind Tiger Battalion, under the watchful eyes of the garrison at Yanmen Pass, into the depths of the desert.

As for Song Jie and the others, they will set off again with their men three hours after Li Yi leaves.

For this battle, General Guan mobilized his 30,000 troops, waiting only for Li Yi's signal to arrive before leading the army to attack!

The location of the camp of the 20,000-strong army of Qing Kingdom had long been discovered by the scouts of Chen Kingdom.

Using the map, Li Yi quickly led his men on a more than one-hour march to a valley ten miles outside the Qing Kingdom's camp.

It's already dark, and there's only an hour left until midnight!

Calling Han Jia, Liu Ye, and the others to his side, Li Yi pointed to the map in his hand and said in a low voice:

"It will be midnight in an hour. At that time, General Guan will lead his men from Yanmen Pass to the valley where we are now."

"Let's rest here for now, and then, an hour after midnight, we'll sneak towards the Qing Kingdom's camp!"

"At that time, when people are sleeping soundly and the Qing Kingdom's camp is most relaxed in its defenses, we will sneak into their granary and set it on fire!"

Seeing that everyone had understood his instructions, Li Yi put the map away.

"Liu Ye, you will lead your personal guards and take turns keeping watch with the First and Third Battalions. The rest of you will rest here for two hours!"

After two hours of intense running in the cold wind, the Wind Tiger Camp members were already showing signs of fatigue. Upon receiving Li Yi's order, they quickly hid in a sheltered spot in the valley and closed their eyes to rest.

Time passed by, and the few Qing Kingdom scouts who occasionally made it here were killed by the night watchmen arranged by Li Yi.

"It's almost time, it's time to move out!"

Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes and ordered his personal guards to wake up the many soldiers.

"Pass on my order: gag them in the mouth!"

"Anyone who dares to speak out without authorization will be dealt with according to military law!"

At Li Yi's command, five hundred men took out a wooden stick, put it in their mouths, and bit down hard.

Mei is here, and people are here!

Silence was uttered; he was to be dealt with according to military law!

"Now, everyone, follow me!"

Gazing at the faint lights ten miles away, Li Yi led his men stealthily toward the Qing Kingdom's camp.
