Faced with Jiang Shang's surrender, Shen Tang did not reprimand or explain. He just smiled and said, "General Jiang Shang, this time I am marching, I still need a tiger general to command the personal guard. I don't know if the general is willing!"
Jiang Shang raised his head indifferently, and then said gratefully, "General, I will obey your order! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
Shen Tang had no intention of suppressing Jiang Shang, and his previous actions were only to indirectly establish military prestige. Now that he has admitted his mistake, he will naturally not continue to hold on!
In the afternoon of the next day, a member of the Wumeng tribe came and gave Shen Tang the information about the battle site! Shen Tang opened it and saw a smile on his face! He had guessed before Yes, the location chosen by the Wumeng tribe is exactly one of the three locations he selected before. If Gu Guha's layout can be perfected this time, he will be more confident about this battle.
In the early morning of the third day, Shen Tang gathered his troops and horses, and then led his troops across the river to the place of battle!
The reason why Shen Tang was able to guess the location of the battle may sound miraculous, but in fact it is not surprising! First of all, the battle place chosen by the Wumeng tribe could not be too far away from Que Di Dian to cause difficulty in transportation. The distance will not be too close, causing the battle between the two sides to affect the ancestral land and cause an accident!
In addition, naturally there cannot be too many tribes in the place where the two parties are fighting. Although if there are other subordinate tribes to help, their troops will increase their combat power, but there will also be more innocent casualties! And , Although Shen Tang has only met La Le once, he can tell that La Le is a brave but straightforward person. Such a character will make him give up some of his positions as a junior!
Coupled with some other reasons, Shen Tang finally selected three locations that were most suitable for the Wumeng tribe to fight!
And the location chosen by the Wumeng tribe is indeed the same! This location is about forty miles southeast of Quedi, in an area called Tulong Cave!
This place is surrounded by barren mountains. The reason why it is called Tulong Cave is because there is a strange mountain with many white rocks and little vegetation, and its shape is like an evil dragon, so it has such a strange name.
South of Tulong Cave is a small river called Xi'er River, which is a branch of Niulan River.
To the north of Tulong Cave are barren mountains that stretch for more than ten miles. Among them are steep mountains, deep pools, and bad water. The terrain is extremely complicated. If you don't understand it and rush in, you will only die!
To the east of this place, there is also a water vein called Wan'an Creek. Wan'an Creek comes along the Shimen River. However, like the Xi'er River, the water vein is very small and can even be passed directly through the shallow part.
After the army set off and crossed the Shimen River, the rear army came with a force of 3,000 soldiers and horses to set up camp across the river. This was regarded as a relief team deployed by Shen Tang, and the Wumeng tribe on the other side had obviously already received The order was not blocked!
After crossing the river, we headed southwest, but the marching speed was not very fast!
After walking a few miles, Shen Tang gave the order, "Shen Chou, Jiang Shang, send more detective horses to check the movements within a few miles around. If there are enemy spies, pull them out immediately!"
After giving the order, the army moved forward again. When they came to a dense forest, Shen Tang waved Li Chuan over and gave some instructions in a low voice!
Shen Tang was not far from Tulong Cave, only thirty or forty miles away, so before sunset, Shen Tang saw this bare barren mountain!
"Commander, where to camp!"
"From Yuan Qing and Wei Junming, you two will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses and camp along the Wan'an River about five miles southeast of Tulong Cave! Lei Zheng, you will lead your own 3,000 soldiers and horses and camp at the foot of the mountain five miles northwest of Tulong Cave! The rest of the group will camp halfway up the mountain with Tulong Cave!"
Shen Tang issued the order, and the generals led their troops to set up camp! The mountainous area was rocky, and there was no time to collect wood. Therefore, the camp had to be simply set up, and it was impossible to do as before.
Fortunately, the camp is divided into three locations, and each camp is not too big. You only need to surround it with military vehicles and use long guns as fences to form a simple camp!
Next, the generals set up camp and buried pots to cook rice. Not to mention, Shen Tang went directly into the Chinese army's tent, wondering if there were any omissions in his arrangement!
"Commander!"
Jiang Shang's voice sounded from the side. Seeing Shen Tang looking over, Jiang Shang hesitated and asked, "The general is a little confused, so I want to ask the commander for advice!"
Shen Tang nodded slightly and heard Jiang Shang say, "Commander, the area around us is extremely complex, why did we choose to camp in Tulong Cave?
Here, every move we make will be exposed in the eyes of the enemy, and there will be no secrets at all!"
"Jiang Shang, do you think we are more familiar with the surrounding area or are we more familiar with each other?"
"Of course the other party is more familiar with it!"
"That's right. Therefore, no matter where we camp, we can't actually hide from the enemy's sight. In this case, we might as well display it openly. If they want to see it, let them see it clearly!"
Having said this, Shen Tang smiled slightly, "Besides, sometimes, what the eyes see is not real!"
"Go down and have a good rest. Maybe there will be a good show to watch tonight!"
Jiang Shang scratched his head, feeling confused, but he could only retreat first!
In the middle of the night, this silent barren mountain was suddenly broken by a sudden cry of killing!
"Commander, it's not good!"
Jiang Shang rushed into the military tent in panic, "The enemy has robbed the camp! I don't know how many troops have come. Now, our other two camps are in chaos. Send troops to support quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Shen Tang stood up from the bed, with a smile on his face, "Don't panic! Let's go and see this King Wumeng..."
Jiang Shang followed Shen Tang out of the tent with suspicion, and then walked out of the camp.
However, Jiang Shang suddenly discovered that the camp where he and others were located was extremely quiet at the moment, and even the patrol team that should have been there on weekdays was nowhere to be seen!
"This... what a... hell, Marshal, we... our people are gone..." Jiang Shang stuttered and said!
No wonder he was so panicked. When he set up camp, there were clearly thousands of soldiers and horses, but now except for their personal guards of hundreds of people, there was no one left. How could it not be strange?
"Hahaha..." Shen Tang laughed loudly and led his troops straight towards the nearby Lei Zheng Camp!
Just as they were walking halfway, they saw someone coming up to them quickly, "General Yang Feng, General Lei Zheng's subordinate, pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"
