Chapter 603 Unexpected Situation

Hearing this, Liu Ming looked at Yun Shang with admiration in his eyes. He murmured, "I didn't expect to use this method to speculate the number of the enemy. Your Highness, you are really smart."

Yun Shang smiled. "According to the number, your arrangement is very reasonable. Each of our group have 10, 000 more people than theirs. In this way, we will have 80% of the chance of winning. And the other 20% will depend on the situation tonight. "

He then continued to talk with Yun Shang for a while, and left.

Another two secret guards came back and their reports were almost the same as the first one. Yun Shang became more confident and smiled. "As long as nothing serious happens tonight, we will win this battle."

But she still felt worried. So she ordered Qian Zhuo to bring the secret guards who had been sent to ask around the Qian Fo Temple and asked them a lot of questions.

After dinner, Yun Shang, along with her companions, left the city. There were no torches in the forest at the foot of Mount Kirin. The palace guards were gazing through the moonlight.

Liu Ming and Yun Shang walked to the middle of the line. After that, Liu Ming whistled and started to climb the mountain.

Mount Kirin was very high. It was winter and the top was covered with a thick layer of snow. Liu Ming said in a low voice, "I've checked the condition of Mount Kirin earlier. I've asked all the soldiers to get two sets of clothes for it, black one for walking in the forest, and white one for marching in the snow."

Yun Shang nodded, "The mountain road is slippery. Tell the soldiers behind you to be careful and not to fall."

Yun Shang frowned and thought, 'I seemed to be too optimistic this afternoon. Looking at this road, I don't know whether these palace guards trained in the Jin city could adapt to it or not.'.

Fortunately they have good physical strength. As it was snowing, they took off their black clothes and threw them away.

After about four hours, they were close to the top of the mountain. From a distance, Yun Shang saw the signal sent by the secret guards at one spot showing that they were ready. Gradually, the other groups were all ready.

According to the plan, they will take down the spot on the Mount Kirin first, in case some other spot send signals to it.

Now other groups are all ready, only this one hadn't arrived the top of Mount Kirin yet. The later they took action, the more dangerous they were.

Yun Shang discussed with Liu Ming in a low voice for a while, and then ordered the secret guards to send a signal to the other spots and let them take action now.

After sending out the signal, they continued to move towards the top slowly.

Suddenly there was a cry from the mountain. Yun Shang was taken aback, and then she saw many so

. Yun Shang's face darkened. "What happened? Didn't they say that the message stands had been occupied? Why is the fire suddenly on? "

A secret guard ran down in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, the remnants of soldiers on the top lit up all their tents as there was no hope for a breakthrough."

Yun Shang gritted her teeth. These desperate people even lit up their tents.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The rest spots have all been taken over. It's useless even if they lit up the tents to send a signal." Qian Zhuo comforted her softly.

Yun Shang frowned and said nothing.

After a while, Liu Ming came down from the cliff and walked to Yun Shang. "There are 40, 000 soldiers on the mountain top as you guessed, 12, 000 of them have been injured or dead, and the rest have surrendered. We finally succeed."

Yun Shang still didn't say anything. She stared at the firelight.

He looked into the direction where Yun Shang was staring and said, "Some of them wanted to break the siege and run down the mountain. When they failed, they just lit up a tent. Since their tents are quite close to each other, they began to burn in a flash."

After a short silence, Yun Shang asked, "In which direction did they try to run away?

Liu Ming didn't know why Yun Shang asked this question, but he still answered honestly, "Southeast."

Yun Shang thought carefully about the condition in the southeast, and her face changed.

Liu Ming didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking, but he remembered the matter a soldier reported to him. "Your Highness, have you met a patrolling soldier?"

Patrolling soldier? A ray of light flashed across Yun Shang's mind.

"Oh, no! Jin City is in danger, and His Majesty and His Highness are in danger. Go down the mountain now. We will return to Jin City soon! " Yun Shang said hurriedly, and walked down the mountain.
