The Wei army's infantry and cavalry battalions were organized with 30,000 people. This time, the southern expedition almost lost one soldier and one general, so when they arrived at Yingzui Cliff, Liu Jing's men did not need to be supplemented at all, and they were completely full.

There are only three thousand defenders on Eagle-billed Cliff. If Hu Lie dares to lead his troops to attack, he will do such a crazy move unless he has taken the courage of Xiong Xin or has water in his mind. Therefore, the possibility of sneak attack by the Shu army is almost zero.

But even so, Liu Jing cannot be careless. He will not be left behind the precautions he should take. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if he is even a slight probability. Even if it is a tiny chance, he must be 100% prepared.

All night, even Liu Jing slept peacefully, but Liu Jing got up very early and before dawn, he got up. After getting up and leaving the tent, he was just preparing to inspect it, but suddenly he found that there was a heavy fog in the camp, and it was difficult to find a few feet away.

Liu Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "God helps me!"

If you want to attack the Eagle-billed Cliff, you need the support of the weather. Only when the visibility is low can the Wei army have the opportunity to approach the top of the mountain. Liu Jing thought of taking advantage of the foggy days, but foggy days are not guaranteed to occur often, and even many days may not be able to wait for a foggy weather. The Wei army's attack is imminent, and Liu Jing must not be able to wait, so Liu Jing thought of the possibility of a night attack.

But unexpectedly, Liu Jing's luck was so good. The day after he arrived at the Bingting, he encountered a foggy day. This was the ideal weather that Liu Jing had always dreamed of. If the attack on the dark night, the Wei army would be in the dark and face the steep mountain road, and it would be difficult to walk. Moreover, if the Shu army threw out the torch, the Wei army would be completely exposed. These two difficulties were almost insurmountable.

But foggy days have no worries about this. The visibility of foggy days is low. As long as the targets in the distance cannot be seen clearly, they are almost unaffected within ten feet of the side, so that the Wei army can avoid the dangers of the path.

Moreover, in the foggy sky, the Shu army had no possibility of using torches to illuminate. This unbreakable fog barrier provided the Wei army with the best protection. They could advance to the top of the mountain under the cover of heavy fog.

How could Liu Jing give up such a god-given opportunity easily? And Liu Jing knew that ordinary foggy weather would only find that once the sun rises, the fog would be dispersed, and the longest time was about an hour. If the Wei army was about to launch an attack, it would have to rush to the top of the mountain within an hour.

Perhaps for ordinary troops, this is almost an impossible task, because there is no preparation in advance. In a hurry, if you want to gather people, it will be impossible to complete it in less than one or two hours, let alone climbing several miles of mountain roads.

But for the Wei army, this is nothing, because in the Wei army, each battalion, whether it is a cavalry battalion or an infantry battalion, has an emergency rapid response force. As long as the order is issued, the rapid response force can complete the assembly and engage in combat in just one incense stick, which is so efficient that it is unimaginable.

Establishing a rapid response force is Cao Liang's requirement for each field battalion, because there are always some sudden incidents on the battlefield that require emergency response. If an army cannot respond quickly, it will either encounter danger or miss the opportunity.

Therefore, Cao Liang asked each battalion to establish at least one (about 3,000 people) rapid response force and establish a rapid response mechanism. No matter under any circumstances, this force can be summoned and fight when it comes.

At this time, Liu Jing gave the order, and in less than a stick of incense, the rapid response troops of Zhonglei Camp had already been fully assembled. General Huangfu Jian of Zhonglei was led by Zhonglei and lined up in front of the camp, ready to go.

The equipment of the rapid response troops is better than that of ordinary troops. They wear more sophisticated armor and use better weapons. Among other troops, crossbows are only optional, and for them, crossbows are standard.

Even the treatment and rapid response troops are better than ordinary soldiers, and their food and salary are basically about 20% higher than ordinary soldiers, and their chances of promotion are greater.

Better treatment means that they need to assume more responsibilities. Only soldiers who perform outstandingly in the battalion are qualified to enter the rapid response force. Usually, the rapid response force is the front of the five units, which is the most elite unit in the battalion. They are also responsible for the charge and opening up mountains and roads.

Liu Jing called Huangfu Jian to his side and gave a few simple instructions. Huangfu Jian led the front troops to take the lead, and Liu Jing would also lead the follow-up troops to follow closely to provide support to them.

At the same time, Liu Jing also gave Huangfu Jian two wild rabbits that were jumping around. Huangfu Jian was stunned when he saw this. The two rabbits were caught by soldiers from Zhonglei Camp the day before yesterday. Huangfu Jian specially gave them to Liu Jing and asked him to replenish his body.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jing didn't eat anything and returned it to him. This made Huangfu unable to figure out what Liu Jing meant. Even if Liu Jing returned it to him for food, it was the time for war, so how could Huangfu Jian have that time?

Liu Jing smiled and ordered Huangfu Jian in this way. Huangfu suddenly realized that these two hares had such a wonderful use. He was immediately detained and led his troops to set off immediately, and soon disappeared in the vast fog.

Since Huangfu Jian had figured out the path to the mountain in advance, he didn't have to worry about getting lost. When they set off, the sky was already slightly bright. It was just because of the heavy fog that the entire Eagle-billed Cliff was completely shrouded in a fog, and it was impossible to see the situation on the top of the mountain.

Similarly, when the Shu army on the mountain looked down, they saw a vast area of ​​white. They knew nothing about the situation at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside. There was no need for Huangfu Jian to issue a ban on noise. Most of the Wei army's troops were veterans and had rich combat experience. How to march at this time? They were all clear about the whole team, but they were silent, but they were walking as fast as flying.

As the sky gradually became brighter, the fog dissipated at this moment, and only objects dozens of feet away could be seen blurred. This obviously had a favorable side and a disadvantage. The advantage was that the road of the Wei army was marching could be seen clearly, and the disadvantage was that Huangfu Jian was worried that the fog would dissipate on the top of the mountain, which was the worst.
