Chapter 1693

They all wanted to see how His Highness would decide.

"Your Highness, to set off or not?"

"Only with your word, we all listen to you."

Han Xin shouted loudly, fearing that others wouldn't know he supported His Highness.

The others also responded one after another to support His Highness.

Ying Ying Zi Ye put down the cup in his hand and looked at everyone.

Whether to set off or wait a few more days was just a matter of his word.

Since he was the supreme commander, he had to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers.

Every decision of his could directly affect the life and death of the soldiers.

Wrong decisions would cause the soldiers to suffer devastating losses.

Therefore, he needed to be more cautious when making decisions.

Ying Ying Zi Ye deliberated for a while.

He also had concerns in his heart.

Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.

He was afraid of encountering too many infected people.

Once there were many infected people, launching a charge would be difficult to resist.

Once they left the city, they wouldn't have time and it would be impossible to return to the Great Wall in a short time.

Therefore, it was safest when there were fewer infected people.

"There is no rush for time, wait a few more days."

"If we encounter too many infected people, dealing with them is also a troublesome matter."

"Wait two days to see the situation, if the infected people are as few as before, then we can set off."

Ying Ying Zi Ye's words echoed in the camp tent.

Whether they agreed or disagreed, they no longer spoke.

His Highness's words were imperial edicts; those who held different opinions could only obediently listen.

Therefore, the camp tent also became quiet.

Meng Tian and the others continued to go out to sweep during the day.

They only returned when night fell.

The guess was indeed correct.

The infected people outside the Great Wall were much more than before.

Fortunately, they didn't go out, otherwise when resting at night.

Perhaps they would be attacked by a large number of infected people.

At night, Han Xin guarded the Great Wall.

Infected people coming to attack were also much more than before.

Time passed day by day like this.

Their daily task was sweeping and guarding the Great Wall.

Until the fourth day.

The infected people became much fewer.

Everyone discussed it.

They believed they could set off.

They had spent almost half a month here.

Now the infected people were much fewer.

If they didn't set off again.

Who knew what the situation would be later.

The fifth day morning.

Ying Ying Zi Ye led tens of thousands of troops and marched towards the direction of Gija Joseon.

The person left to guard the Great Wall was Tu Donghai, with only twenty thousand people.

Originally they only had about ten thousand soldiers left.

The number was somewhat insufficient, so ten thousand soldiers were transferred from Liaoxi Commandery to help.

More than twenty thousand soldiers guarding the Great Wall was about enough.

As long as it wasn't a large number of infected people attacking.

They had the confidence to guard the Great Wall.

The army leaving the Great Wall would also attract many infected people.

The pressure on the Great Wall side would be much less.

Suburbs.

Cavalry and infantry accompanied each other.

The speed was not fast.

They had made full preparations before setting off.

According to the introduction of the captive Scar Man.

It took two and a half to three days from the Great Wall to the nearest city of Gija Joseon.

Because Scar Man and the others walked slowly without rules.

If the army went, perhaps it would only take two days.

That is to say, they needed to spend one night in the suburbs.

This would undoubtedly increase a certain difficulty.

After all, night is the paradise of infected people.

Who knew how many infected people would be wandering in the dark night.

Fortunately, there were not many cities here.

There were only small villages, and there wouldn't be too many infected people.

But humans walking in the dark night are like a bright light.

It would attract infected people in the dark.

It was best to find a place of shelter.

Otherwise, no one could guarantee what would happen.

Scar Man provided a location.

That is, there was a big mountain halfway.

He indicated that the army could go up the mountain, so they could well resist the infected people.

Scar Man also didn't want to die.

Last time in the prison, half of their dozen people were inexplicably executed.

They didn't even know how they died.

Therefore, Scar Man and the others who survived were all very afraid.

Everything was quite cooperative.

Fearing that they would be killed suddenly one day.

This time leading the way to Gija Joseon, they even thought of the route.

They even planned a route for the Qin army.

As long as they walked according to the route he gave, they would encounter a mountain when night fell.

At that time, they could go up the mountain to spend the night.

The next day they could continue their journey and arrive at the nearest city of Gija Joseon.

The Qin soldiers were noncommittal.

They marched urgently all the way towards Gija Joseon.

The marching speed was not slow.

There were about two hours until dark.

They stopped in front of a big canyon.
