Bab 849: Ambush

Yanyang was an area outside Phoenix City. After leaving Yanyang and heading southwest, one could leave via Phoenix Town. After leaving the country, they could bypass Cangbei Mountain and enter Great Xia's Fengzhou, then go from Fengzhou to the battlefield at Nanling Pass.

If the army followed this route, it would take at least three months. Moreover, after a long journey, the soldiers would definitely be exhausted. How were they going to fight the Wu Kingdom's army like this? This was also one of the reasons why Song Jingchen rejected the 100,000-strong army.

"Even if we travel without stopping, it will take us a month and a half," Song Jingchen said as he looked at the map.

Shen Yijia frowned. "But if we don't take this path, we can only go southeast and leave via Lin'an City."
