This was just a fourteen-year-old girl; what could she know about commanding troops or military strategy?

A naive and innocent girl commanding over ten thousand people in battle, wasn’t that a child’s play?

However, this was Chu Xisheng’s instruction before his departure, and Wei Yang could not disobey.

He was a man who stood by his principles.

The Chu siblings had saved his life and given him a generous salary, so he was bound to sell his life to them!

Moreover, within the entire West Mountain Hall, there was no other person capable of commanding respect, not even his colleague Li Shenshan.

Only the blood relation between Chu Yunyun and Chu Xisheng could make everyone temporarily suppress their ulterior motives and heed her commands.

But just as their large group was passing through First Line Gorge into the mountains, Chu Yunyun rode up to Wei Yang’s side, and she also casually summoned Li Shenshan and others over.

“Master Wei, Master Lu from the Lu Character Altar at Lu Pingyuan just sent over a token, saying that the county army’s marching speed is very slow.

They are still about twenty-nine li away from Zheng Family Village, creating an excellent opportunity for battle.

I’ve decided to push the battlefield seven li forward, right at the foot of Black Bear Mountain.”

As Chu Yunyun spoke, she picked up a stick and swiftly swung it in the mud at her feet.

In a blink of an eye, a topographic map of the twenty li around Zheng Family Village emerged vividly on the ground.

“Have you gotten a clear look at the terrain?

As a colonel with over ten years of military service, you should understand without me saying that this terrain is greatly advantageous to us.

Later, you will lead your main forces and accelerate forward with Liu Ruoxi’s Xi Character Altar, gathering three thousand hunters from Fruit Forest Village, along with two hunter sub-altars.

You will form up halfway up the southern slope of Black Bear Mountain, and ensure that all of them are equipped with fifty arrows each.”

Liu Ruoxi, puzzled but decisive, agreed promptly.

Wei Yang’s pupils shrank, contemplating that Chu Yunyun’s tactic was indeed formidable.

The south slope of Black Bear Mountain lay in the middle of a ‘Yi’ character-shaped gorge; the enemy would not be able to see the arrow formation they had set up as they entered the gorge.

Once the enemy reached the middle of this gorge, the front and rear paths of Xiushui County’s nine thousand county soldiers would be blocked by their archers.

And regarding ‘Black Bear Mountain’, Wei Yang had surveyed the terrain there.

Black Bear Mountain was only navigable on the southeast side, near Zheng Family Village, where the slope was gentle enough to allow a large army to ascend, while the other directions were extremely steep.

Because of its gentle terrain, it could accommodate only three thousand hunters at most.

He immediately cupped his fists: “Military matters are urgent; I will head over at once.”

In Wei Yang’s voice, there was a hint of eagerness.

——If they could occupy Black Bear Mountain ahead of time, they would essentially be in an impregnable position.

Chu Yunyun then said the same to the people of Lu Luanti’s ‘Chaotic Word Altar’: “Black Bear Mountain is strategically crucial.

As long as we seize this mountain, Xiushui County’s county army will not be able to take it without the loss of three to five thousand lives, a price they cannot afford to pay.

But I’m more interested in trying to annihilate these nine thousand county soldiers, or at least severely damage the majority of them, on the southern side of Black Bear Mountain.

Therefore, we must completely obscure the battlefield and prevent their reconnoitre cavalry from getting close and discovering that our army has taken Black Bear Mountain ahead of time.

This task will be undertaken by your Chaotic Word Altar, with Xiaang Kui and Wang Zheng each leading fifty men to hunt down the county army’s reconnoitre cavalry around Black Bear Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people’s spirits were lifted, all thinking that Chu Yunyun had a big appetite!

She actually intended to completely swallow up these nine thousand county soldiers.

If they succeeded in this battle, it would undoubtedly be bad news for the Sheen Family.

If Xiushui’s nine thousand county soldiers failed at ‘anti-bandit’ operations within Xiushui County, losing the majority of their forces, then Sheen Zhou, the Commander, would definitely be held accountable.

——But it seemed they could achieve this?

Even Xiaang Kui and Wang Zheng looked stern upon hearing this.

This Little Sister Chu was quite systematic in waging war, and the terrain of Black Bear Mountain was indeed dangerous.

It appeared that West Mountain Hall wasn’t doomed just yet?

In this light, they could not slack off; they needed to put in some effort after all.

Chu Yunyun then turned to Lu Luanti: “Your subordinates can handle the battle; Senior Sister Lu, you stay with me.

I’m short of bodyguards by my side, please stay and help me, Senior Sister Lu.”

Lu Luanti understood and saw the opportunity to leave by staying by Chu Yunyun’s side, allowing her to fight as a mysterious and skilled warrior.

She immediately cupped her fists and agreed spiritedly, “As commanded!”

Before departing, Chu Xisheng had taken her hand earnestly and beseechingly, asking her to help look after West Mountain Hall.

Lu Luanti felt quite guilty searching for clues about the God-defying Flagpole and Lie King’s Treasure all over Tangkou.

If she couldn’t even watch over this foundation for Chu Xisheng, Lu Luanti felt she would have no face to meet with him again.

As for her ‘Chaotic Word Altar’, Lu Luanti was not worried at all.

Chu Xisheng, whether intentionally or not, had arranged half of the nineteen spies and traitors to be in the Chaotic Word Altar.

Thus, this ‘Chaotic Word Altar’ was as chaotic as the name suggested.

Those guys were also very capable, and there was no doubt about their survival.

If they dared not exert enough effort, that would actually fit Lu Luanti’s wishes, giving her a legitimate reason to kick them out of West Mountain Hall.

Next, it was Li Shenshan’s turn.

Chu Yunyun spoke with a somber voice: “I’m not versed in battle formations or military strategy.

Master Li of the altar, however, is from Divine Strategy Camp, seasoned in military life, and adept at battle formations.

Therefore, Master Li will be fully in charge of the frontal engagement; I will not interfere.

But I have one condition: we must try to minimize our casualties.

Even if the victory is smaller, we must not let our brothers sacrifice their lives needlessly.”

Li Shenshan looked at Chu Yunyun, his eyes showing a mix of admiration and bewilderment.
