Like most cities in Jiangnan, outside Danyang City, in addition to the crisscrossing waterways, there are also many undulating mountains.

When the Danyang official army led the wolf into the house and brought the hundreds of "Yan clan members" into the city, everything here was completely seen by several pairs of eyes with cold light in the mountains not far away.

Those eyes were really shining like stars in the sky in the dark night, but unless someone approached and observed carefully, they would never think that someone on the mountain was looking at the movements below at close range, just because the two sides were five or six miles apart, and this late night was beyond the reach of the human eye.

The reason why people in the mountains could see everything below was because these people had a few strange equipment on their eyes - they were formed by two non-gold and non-wood cylinders, with a slightly smaller side facing the eyes, while the outer side was slightly thicker, and there were objects as transparent as glass on top. Well, this was the telescope from later generations, which was taken out from the warehouse for marching, but now they played another purpose, that is, to observe the movements of the official army below from a distance.

Many people around him have long been used to Sun Tu's inexplicable appearance of such objects that he had never seen before. By the way, Master Sun could have someone develop a terrible weapon like the Blade Bullet. What is this object that can bring the distant scenery to his eyes and be seen in a tiny way? At most, it is to make the soldiers below respect him more and be more loyal to him.

Of course, this did not prevent several generals who had used telescopes from marveling in their mouths: "With this magical object, our army can take their movements into their eyes before the enemy appears. That can really predict the enemy's initiative. Half of it won before the battle. This is really a battlefield weapon."

Sun Tu just smiled casually: "The artifact may have the effect of adding wings to the tiger, but to win, it depends on us. The whole army unites and obeys orders, which is the way to win."

"What the Chief Secretary said is so humble, and he has received the teachings." Several generals next to him all clasped their fists and responded. Then, Yang Zhicai frowned and asked, "Chief Secretary, have you just said that these people have a big problem?"

"Yes, although they are civilian costumes, they don't look much different from fugitives on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you can find many flaws. For example, their entire team still maintains a certain formation while they are moving, and they can deal with possible attacks at any time. Also, these people are mostly very solid in their steps, not as ordinary people can do."

Sun Tu said, smiling again: "Of course, these are just details. What's more important is that at this time, even those who leave their hometowns due to military disasters cannot turn to Danyang City. Isn't it safer for them to escape to Jinling City than to come here? All these things can make people assert that they must be doing things in detail, and entering the city is just to cooperate with the anti-army to capture Danyang."

Lin Chong, Wu Song and others around him nodded repeatedly to show their agreement when they heard this. Yue Fei, who was standing beside him, looked at Sun Tu with admiration. At this time, he seemed that Sun Tu was so unattainable and had a clever idea. But at the same time, another question in his heart was even more unbearable. Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Secretary, since we arrived here as early as yesterday, why didn't we enter the city earlier? Isn't this safer?"

This question is not only him, but many others also have it in their hearts. You should know that after they left the army, they rushed to Danyang day and night. As a result, when they really arrived, Sun Tu suddenly ordered the army to turn into the mountains and forests, but did not mean to contact the official army in the city. This is really a big deviation from everyone's judgment when they came.

It was just because Sun Tu was extremely prestigious in the army and was so arrogant that everyone did not raise any questions. Now when Yue Fei asked, many people looked at him to see what he explained.

Sun Tu put down his telescope and smiled, "If we really go through this, will those officials believe what we say? If they don't even believe in our identity and even send troops to expel them directly, how should we deal with it?"

"This...isn't it..." someone muttered in a low voice.

Sun Tu sneered: "Don't forget why Danyang was targeted by the anti-army army. There were a large number of military rations in the city, and they were secretly placing the food to the north under the order of Zhu Xie. In this case, they would be guilty of being thieves. Many of us suddenly rushed over, and even if they did not doubt our identity, they would pretend to be ignorant and expel them. Therefore, no matter whether we showed up or not, we would be afraid that we would not be able to enter the city. And if we really did this, our whereabouts would be completely exposed. Maybe the thieves would have to make corresponding arrangements and would not be effective as surprise soldiers."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully to express their agreement. Even Yue Fei accepted Sun Tu's explanation: "It's still the commander who is far-sighted, Fei is still a little shallow in seeing things."

"Haha, you have only been in the army for a few months, and you have such knowledge." Sun Tu comforted him and added: "In addition, our hiding troops here is the most conducive to launching sneak attacks on them when the anti-army attacks the city. As long as you seize the opportunity, this battle will definitely defeat the enemy. But in the past few days, everyone will be wronged and hide here."

"As long as we can win, what a grievance is this!" Several generals immediately expressed their opinions. Although the soldiers around them were not easy to speak, they all showed a sense of perseverance. For them, Sun Tu's order was an imperial edict. Not to mention letting them hide in the mountains and forests for a while, they would not hesitate at all even if they were asked to attack Danyang City at this moment.

Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled satisfied again. However, when his eyes swept over Yue Fei who was looking at him with respect, he felt a little pressure. Because he did not finish the reason completely, he even hid the most important point - he wanted to take Danyang reserved grain for himself, and this would have to make the city fall, at least the generals in the city could not be kept. But this point could not be revealed in a noble way.

After calming down, he ordered: "Since you should have already entered Danyang, I am afraid that the anti-army will come to the day after tomorrow. Tonight, everyone will be fully energetic. Don't think about anything else. Just leave some people to guard it. Everyone should go to bed first."

As his order was passed down, the Qingzhou army hiding in the forest looked for the ground to lie down and slept. Fortunately, the weather was not too cold at this time, and some people squeezed into one place and covered with a thin blanket, which would make do with the night...

The sun rose and was far west, and soon the new day was about to pass. The Qingzhou Army, who had been hiding in the mountains and forests for a day and a night, still could not wait for the enemy to appear. This made many soldiers have gradually changed their minds, fearing that their commanders would miscalculate this time, and there was no enemy to use troops to Danyang. Only Sun Tu was still confident, looking at the not-to-digested defense at the head of the county town, and made a judgment: "If I expected it, either tonight or early tomorrow morning, the anti-army army would definitely appear in front of us!"

With this sentence, the hearts of the soldiers calmed down. Over the years, it seemed that Sun Tu had hardly missed it, and I guess this time would be no exception.

The facts quickly proved that Sun Tu's judgment was correct. After the second update, a team of people on the quiet official road outside the city were quickly leaning towards Danyang. Although the number of this team was not too large, only a few hundred, just looking at their fast but silent marching methods, we can see that this is a rare elite in the anti-military army.

When they saw this army appear, the Qingzhou soldiers who had been waiting in the mountains and forests for several days were all excited. Many people subconsciously raised their weapons in their hands. With a command, they would rush over like the wind.

But at this time, Sun Tu's strict order was quickly conveyed: "Don't move the entire army, no good orders, no arrows are allowed to be fired, and the enemy is sent over!" This made the soldiers who were about to continue to kill and make contributions very puzzled, but in the end they could only choose to receive the order and wait.

The generals at the high place in the rear knew what Sun Tu intended to do. Although this enemy was elite, it was not their real target. The main force behind it was the fruit they wanted to swallow.

"They should have gone to join the inner army who entered the city earlier. Maybe all the officers guarding the night in the city were eliminated by the inner army." Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and said his inference, then smiled again: "This is the method used by the Liangshan bandits to attack the cities of various prefectures. I didn't expect that in Jiangnan, Fang La's anti-army was also good at using this move."

"It should be because their army has limited combat power, so they have to use this move." Lin Chong whispered: "After all, they have only been in charge for less than two years, so it is impossible for them to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops at once."

Just as they were talking, several balls of fire appeared at the top of Danyang City ahead, waving regularly there. Soon after, a bird scream came from below. It was the two sides who were using secret codes to express their respective identities.

As all this was confirmed, the closed city gate was slowly opened from the inside with a creaking sound. At the same time, the small suspension bridge in front of the city gate was also dropped.

As Sun Tu judged, the inner man who entered the city last night had taken action tonight and seized control of the city gate on this side. Now, the southern gate of Danyang has been opened, and the entire city has been exposed to the enemy's sword. What's even more terrifying is that the lights of fire lit up in various parts of the city. The inner man not only seized the city gate, but also set fires everywhere in the city, trying to completely disrupt Danyang!

After a while, a horn sounded through the quiet night, and then the fierce footsteps sounded from far to near like raindrops. An army of tens of thousands of people rushed towards Danyang like a wave amid the shouts.

Since the city gate was opened, there were thieves in the city causing chaos, and Danyang City was in desperate situation.

Fang Shifo, who rushed to the front of the team and kept howling, causing the soldiers to rush to full speed, was so excited that his eyes shone, breaking Danyang and grabbing food and grass, thus laying the foundation for the victory of Jiangnan in one fell swoop!
