Bab 697: 297: Cannot reveal identity

Su Xinyi led her men close to the valley where they had ambushed before, familiar with the terrain, they hid in the woods and silently waited.

"Crown Princess, I've checked, both sides of the mountain are filled with enemies." a scout reported after returning.

Su Xinyi looked at him and asked, "Cavalry or infantry?"

"I've explored and they are all infantry soldiers; there isn't a single horse within two miles."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi slightly nodded her head, "It seems that the enemy's cavalry have all gone to the outskirts of Zhangping Mansion. If it's just infantry left, then that is very advantageous for us."

Su Qi happened to walk by and heard this, so he said, "The enemy surely can't outpace us, so we'll be able to get even closer."

The crude version of the rocket launcher Su Xinyi made doesn't have the long range that official ones possess, so the closer they are to the enemy, the better.
