To prevent any accidents on the road, the Northern Barbarians sent several cavalry units to escort the grain transport, roughly amounting to about a thousand men.
On this end, to avoid drawing attention, Si Chu only brought over five hundred men, but each one was carefully selected, skilled and agile.
Although they were outnumbered, they had the advantage of taking the initiative, the enemy in the light and us in the dark, ready to catch the other side by surprise.
Si Chu's eyes were deep and dark, like a leopard lurking in the shadows, just waiting for the right moment to pounce and bite through the enemy's throat.
The grain carts numbered in the dozens, a sight that brightened the eyes of those who saw them, some even becoming impatient.
The Northern Barbarian soldiers gradually approached, reaching the foot of the mountain. Si Chu had already ordered his men to clear the footprints they left on their way up, and the other side didn't notice anything amiss.
