How many people would it take to surround a military camp of 150,000 elite troops

The answer is three thousand people.

Plus an imperial decree from the prince.

Wu Ban Shan, who had just left the camp of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry, returned.

This time, he brought back three thousand elite guards from the Yueya Pass, along with an imperial decree bearing the mark of the crown prince.

Unlike last time, Wu Ban Shan directly ordered the camp to be surrounded, then led his men straight into the camp through the main gate.

This time, no one stopped him.

The sixteen cavalrymen of Yan Yun stared at him with a cold, murderous gaze.

Cavalry on either side stared intently at Wu Banshan as he walked through the center.

They rode on horseback, armed with weapons and fully clad in armor, more like a show of force.

In contrast, Wu Ban Shan only brought ten personal guards. The disparity in their strength was simply beyond description.

But Wu Ban Shan walked with his head held high, striding straight towards the central military camp. Along the way, he didn't even glance sideways, as if the famous Yan Yun Sixteen Riders standing on both sides were nonexistent.

Upon arriving at the outer tent of the main camp, Wu Ban Shan raised his hand and shouted with a commanding voice: "The Prince's decree has arrived! All generals and officers of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders, come out to receive it!"

The tent flap opened, and Li Songru walked out with a group of high-ranking generals from the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry. His eyes were cold as he looked at Wu Ban Shan and said, "General Wu, what are you doing!"

"The Moonlit Pass doesn't think about how to deal with the Liao army, but instead surrounds my camp of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry! We came here to support you, yet you turn your weapons against us. Do you think the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry are weak!"

Li Songru roared, and the surrounding crowd, though densely packed, suddenly had their cavalry orderly striking their leg armor with swords.

Clang clang clang clang...

The sharp, metallic clang of steel against steel reverberated through the air.

...to the point where a torrential downpour of sound erupted.

Wu Ban Shan rode on horseback, looking around. Everywhere he looked, there were elite cavalrymen in full armor.

Amidst thousands of soldiers, Wu Ban Shan felt immense psychological pressure at this moment.

One can't possibly imagine the terror of facing a horde of enemies filling your entire field of vision without having personally experienced it.

Wu Ban Shan's face was expressionless, his complexion as cold and austere as ice. He roared, "Deliver an imperial decree from the Crown Prince: The sixteen riders of Yan Yun are forbidden to leave the camp without a royal order. Anyone who disobeys shall be deemed treasonous and executed!"

Upon hearing these words, the entire army was in an uproar.

No one expected the crown prince to actually dare to directly order the encampment of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry to be sealed off.

Before Li Songru ordered the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders not to leave their camp, that was an internal matter of theirs, no matter how much they quarreled, it wouldn't become a big deal.

Even though the fact that 3,000 soldiers from Yueyang Gate are currently surrounding the camp is true, this is merely a form of provocation.

Three thousand surround one hundred and fifty thousand, any fool knows they can't possibly encircle them.

More is symbolic.

But the Imperial Prince's edict was different.

This is a formal decree issued on behalf of the imperial court's heir apparent. In simpler terms, it holds legal weight.

And all imperial edicts issued by the emperor or crown prince, as well as imperial decrees issued by the empress dowager or empress, would be meticulously recorded and documented in official annals.

That means from this moment on, for hundreds or even thousands of years to come, the reputation of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders will be forever stained. They were under house arrest by the Crown Prince and forbidden to leave the military camp due to a lack of trust.

This is legally speaking, nailing the Sixteen Cavalry of Yan and Cloud to a pillar of shame!
