The soldiers of the capital didn't even have lunch, and ate dry food while marching, and headed towards Huya Mountain with all their might.

The deeper you go to the mountains, the harder the road is.

Fortunately, when it was just dark, the capital army finally arrived at Huya Mountain.

More than three thousand soldiers camped at the foot of Huya Mountain.

While it was not dark, Li Yu, Meng Liao and others observed Huya Mountain nearby.

Huya Mountain is steep, with cliffs on three sides and gentle slopes on one side.

In this way, no matter how many troops the attacking party is, it will be difficult to use.

After all, the attacking side can only attack from the gentle slope.

If the rocks on the mountain are sufficient, the bandits do not even have to show their faces. Just throwing the rocks on the top of the mountain is enough to let the soldiers on their side drink a pot.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The Heyang Prefecture Army repeatedly entered the mountains to suppress bandits and returned repeatedly, mostly because they were defeated by Huya Mountain.

Wang Zhen pointed to the long gentle slope in front of him and sighed: "The bandits on the mountain have reserved many wooden rocks. They have also made a rushing cart with dozens of spears in front of them, filled with stones, and slid down from the top of the mountain, unstoppable."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhen showed anger, his eyes were scarlet, and he said ruthlessly: "My husband, I don't know how many of my husband died under the thief's rushing car!"

The terrain of Huya Mountain is so steep that there are only 3,000 soldiers on its own. Li Yu is also unsure whether he can attack it.

However, he still patted Wang Zhen’s shoulder and said seriously: “Captain Wang, I will definitely not let the brothers of the mansion army die in vain!”

"Your Highness..." Wang Zhen's eyes were wet and red, and he intervened to salute, saying, "With your Highness's words, brothers, if you have spirits in heaven, you can rest assured!"

Meng Liao turned his head and said, "Your Highness, let's go back!"

"good."

Everyone returned to the camp and walked into the camp.

Li Yu sat in the middle, Meng Liao, Lu Fang, three commanders, Wang Zhen and others, sat on both sides.

Zhu Da cooked tea and brought it in.

Li Yu held the teacup in both hands, blew the tea foam, and asked, "General Meng, what do you think of tomorrow's battle?"

Meng Liao looked around everyone present, silent.

Li Yu said: "General Meng has something to say, even though he says it bluntly, there are no outsiders here."

Meng Liao looked at Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, I think our army cannot fight."

This kind of terrain, let alone 30,000 people, is difficult to attack even if it is 30,000 people.

As soon as he said this, three commanders whispered, while Wang Zhen frowned and looked solemn.

Wang Zhen knows the best how difficult it is to attack Huya Mountain.

The arrival of the capital army made him think things would turn around, but the result was...

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and put down the teacup.

Han Rui, the commander of the First Battalion, said expressionlessly: "The battle has not started yet, General Meng does not need to be ambitious to others and destroy my own prestige!"

The commander of the camp, with a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, is equivalent to a thousand households, and is a fifth-rank military officer.

If the grade is single, he is even one-rate higher than Meng Liao.

Meng Liao said, "Commander Han, I'm telling the truth!"

Han Rui stood up, intervened and bowed to Li Yu, and said in a stern voice: "Your Highness, tomorrow morning, I am willing to take the lead and lead the brothers of the first battalion to attack Huya Mountain!"

Li Yu gently pulled the teacup with his fingertips, but still didn't say anything.

He also saw the terrain of Huya Mountain. Although he was unwilling to admit it, reason told him that Meng Liao was right. There was almost no possibility of success in attacking Huya Mountain.

Zhang Dong, the commander of the Second Battalion, and Meng Wei, the commander of the Third Battalion, both stood up, intervened and bowed, and volunteered: "Your Highness! I am willing to lead the headquarters to the forefront!"

"There is no need for you to rush to die!"

Meng Yao showed displeasure.

"you……"

"Even if you are not afraid of death, you must consider whether it is necessary for your brothers to follow you to die and make unnecessary sacrifices!"

"General Meng, you can be too damning to say this!"

Li Yu raised his hand to stop their quarrel.

He looked at Meng Liao and asked, "General Meng, do you already have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone present, their eyes fell on Meng Liao.

Meng Liao smiled at Li Yu and said, "Our soldiers rushed from the capital to Heyang County, traveling day and night, with no people and horses. Now they are running non-stop, entering Goulian Mountains, and walking rushing all the way to the foot of Huya Mountain. The entire army is already exhausted."

People didn't understand what Meng Liao said very much.

Li Yu's thoughts turned, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked, "General Meng means that the bandits on the mountain may come to steal the camp at night?"

When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath.

If you think about it carefully, there is really this possibility.

Meng Liao smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise! However, I am not sure whether the bandits will come to steal the camp tonight. After all, I am not sure about the ability to predict the future, but I am sure that the bandits on the mountain will definitely not think that our soldiers will attack the top of the mountain at night when they are trapped in the face of lack of people."

Meng Wei couldn't help but stand up suddenly and said in surprise: "General Meng means that our army will attack Huya Mountain tonight?"

"No! The entire army stayed in the camp and was ready to fight at any time! I personally led 200 elite troops to go up the mountain in the back mountain of Huya Mountain, attack the enemy first, and waited for the chaos of the bandits, and our soldiers would charge to the top of the mountain with all their might, and would definitely reach the top and defeat the bandits!"

After hearing Meng Liao's words, everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Is Meng Liao crazy?

Does he want to die?

I only took two hundred suicide squads to secretly go up the mountain. What if I climb halfway through and I am discovered?

Even if they successfully climbed to the top of the mountain with only two hundred people, how could they resist the counterattack of thousands of bandits?

Han Rui shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's so risky! Doing this is like a life-and-death death!"

Zhang Dong, Meng Wei, and Wang Zhen also shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that Meng Liao's plan was too crazy and hit the stone with eggs.

Meng Liao looked around everyone and asked, "Do you have any better strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone lowered their heads at the same time.

The way they can think of is to attack.

Of course, they themselves also understand that even if the attack is successful, their own casualties will be extremely serious.

Li Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly slapped the table, which scared everyone present.

He said firmly: "That's it! General Meng and I led two hundred elite troops to secretly go up the mountain!"

"Your Highness——"

As soon as he said this, everyone was scared.

Li Yu stared at everyone and said word by word: "I am the commander of the battle this time. Either I bring you out, and I will bring you back together with my brothers who are going to die!"

He asked others to die and become cannon fodder. He could not do it by sitting there and enjoying the fruits of his own, waiting to return to Beijing to receive ready-made achievements.

I can't pass the level of my conscience either.

The more you come into contact with Li Yu, the more people will feel clearly that this seventeenth prince is completely different from the rumored ones.

Sometimes I look at him, I am really timid.

He didn't even dare to wear the bright armor of a military general, and insisted on wearing the armor of ordinary soldiers, for fear that the enemy would recognize him.

What's even more ridiculous is that he is actually afraid of ghosts.

But when he really went to the battlefield, Li Yu was not timid at all. He charged forward and led the way.

Take Meng Liao’s plan for example. It is obviously a life-and-death death, but he still has to participate in it, completely ignoring his own life and death.
