After leaving the military camp, the three of them first rode their horses for a while. Climbing the gently sloping uphill road was not too difficult for their riding skills, but further on, the narrow and rugged mountain path and the dense pine and cypress branches stretching out on both sides were no longer suitable for riding, so they had to lead the horses for a stretch and then ride for a stretch.
By the time they approached the mountain wall, it was close to midnight.
Although they knew that there was still a distance between the northern mountain wall and the valley where Yu Wencheng was located, to be on the safe side, Yu Wenye had them stop when there was still some distance from the mountain wall. He wrapped the horse hooves with cloth they carried, muzzled the horses, and then tethered all three of them to trees.
Then, under the moonlight, the three of them silently passed through the dense Pine Forest on the mountaintop and finally arrived quietly at the mountain wall.
