Okay, here is the English translation of the provided Chinese text, adhering to all the given rules and guidelines:

Chirping of insects was faint, and the sunlight gradually slanted through the trees. A group of people moved swiftly and silently across the mountains and ridges, finally stopping in the sparse mountain forest as the sun set. They set up a brief camp; the atmosphere was grim.

Yan Qing sat on a rock under a tree, eating dry rations with clear water, observing the sky and the surrounding terrain. Nearby, his men huddled together, eating, whispering. Some were wiping their weapons, but no one made loud noises.

This turning point, the destination of this journey, was not explicitly told to many. But in fact, an eerie and tense atmosphere had enveloped the entire team with the unusual actions of the past two days. Amidst the whispers, everyone was mentally prepared that the leadership was about to make a big move.

A ruthless man stands firm. Within the current ranks of Liangshan, there were plenty of people willing to risk their lives, especially with the recent actions being so purposeful and the retreat so clean and efficient, which brought back the heroic spirit of the Liangshan gathering from the early days. Although many things were not transparent at the moment, the signals from above indicated that everything was going smoothly.

Seize county towns, drag the officials around, make them deal with issues on all sides. During this period, what "making a big move" actually meant was secondary. In short, the attitude of "if you are not afraid, we will be even more ruthless", as well as the accuracy and efficiency within a few short days, stirred up morale, making people vaguely feel that a great battle was coming.

As for what it was, even Yan Qing was not very clear at this time. Since leaving Raoping County, Song Jiang and others led the team, moving quickly with a clear purpose. Originally, it was estimated that they would take Fucheng County, where military defenses were weak, or even take advantage of the opportunity to stir up the pace of the Wu Rui Battalion and sneak into the Zhou City, taking a risky gamble. But halfway through, the route seemed slightly wrong.

As a leader, one can always glean something from the words and pauses of others. Occasionally, there were those in the team who were familiar with some of the surrounding terrain, mentioning a place they passed. Yan Qing was drawing a map in his mind, trying to piece together an impression of the surroundings. A leader came over and greeted him softly. He responded a few times, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

That was probably… There was most likely one conclusion, but if that were the case…

He turned his head and looked in the direction where Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others might be. Although the shadows of the trees were sparse, there were many figures. According to the current rules, everyone consciously maintained the gathering of their subordinates, and did not wander around except for occasional contact. Yan Qing frowned, wondering if what he was thinking was really possible, and whether he should investigate it. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, making him indecisive for a moment.

A bird chirped and flew away from the treetop.

**************

"...We are here now, only two ridges away from Zhanjia Ao. No fires can be lit. Fortunately, everyone has felt something about this matter and is mentally prepared. Victory or defeat depends on this time..."

The grass was sparse, there were flowers on the ground, and although the leaves could not be considered very lush, the feeling they gave at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn was the most vibrant. Under that tree, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others were holding a small map, pointing and talking softly.

"...We originally thought too much, this kind of thing can only be done quickly while they are still reacting..."

"...The nearest Wu Rui Battalion troops need two hours to go back and forth. We appeared in Raoping yesterday, and there are various rumors flying around. Once there is news today, they will definitely hesitate whether it is a diversion. We will have three hours or more. Attacking the camp at night, even if their camp is not too chaotic, we can easily cut them apart even if they can form a defense line..."

"...Looking back at the battle of Dulong Gang that day, if I had decided to attack strongly at that time, there would not be today..."

"Alas, why should the military advisor blame himself? No one expected what would happen later. Liangshan... With you and my brothers united, we can break gold. Yesterday's defeat may not be an opportunity to win today. As long as we can get through this hurdle, my Liangshan can rise again. At that time, we will definitely make that person pay back everything he took..."

"It must be so... They patrol every day, and their night camp defense must not be enough, but we still need to be cautious and not be careless in the slightest..."

After the discussion, Dai Zong personally led several scouts back and reported the situation to Song Jiang.

"...Confirmed... Zhanjia Ao..."

**************

"Zhanjia Ao..."

Yan Qing's fingers gently drew on the ground, frowning. The setting sun had already burned out the last red glow on the horizon, pouring down like blood, and then everything in sight.

Fengping, Raoping, and Fu'an counties formed a triangular area. Before attacking Fengping, the location of the people on Dulong Gang, the location of several Wu Rui Battalion teams, the position of everyone when they appeared in Raoping, and the possible movements of everyone afterwards.

If the movement of the Dulong Gang people in recent days was firstly to bite this team of their own, and secondly to fill the encirclement for the Wu Rui Battalion, then they are likely to be located between Fengping and Fu'an counties. Zhanjia Ao... is one of the possibilities.

Rumors are flying around, and the Wu Rui Battalion troops on both sides may stand still, and even if they want to move, they may be a little far away. For half a month, his team has always been afraid to fight the army to the death, because people really can't stand the consumption. But if the first attack after turning around is a desperate gamble…

And their purpose is not even the people of Dulong Gang.

A certain answer in his heart was actually about to come out. The setting sun was gradually setting, and orders gradually came not to light fires, not to make noise, to rest on the spot and be prepared. When Yan Qing stood up, he saw Song Jiang in the distance of the forest, talking to a group of soldiers in a low voice. After finishing with this group, he went to another group...

**************

"...The situation is special, Song Jiang cannot speak loudly, please forgive me, brothers... Since the uprising, I have been loved by all the brothers, Song Jiang is incompetent, very ashamed... Now we have been forced to the extreme, but the turning point is at this time... Several military advisors have planned carefully, in order to seize an opportunity..."

The sunlight fell, and the moon with a small gap missing had risen in the sky, releasing her bright light towards this land. A bird flew over the forest, and Song Jiang walked through the military formation, cheering up wave after wave of soldiers.

"...We have lost many brothers, some have lost their relatives. The culprit of all this is only one person... This person is cunning, ruthless, and we will hardly have peace if he does not die... But I, Song Jiang, guarantee to all the brothers that the opportunity will come soon. I can't say it clearly at this time. You all eat well, take a rest, and soon you will understand..."

"We want to avenge our brothers and relatives... Before long, you will see that person crying, dying! And sooner or later, we will go to Jiangning again and send this person's family... down. At that time, no matter his wife and children, his relatives and friends, we will not let one go. Only in this way can we pay tribute to the spirits of 50,000 Liangshan brothers in heaven... Wait a little longer, prepare your knives, you will see it..."

"They thought we would keep running away, thought we just wanted to delay! But we are about to tell them that our Liangshan... was fought out!"

***************

Low whispers were being stopped by the leaders. But in the forest, people were wiping their swords, and in every exchange of glances and touch of bodies, there was an unhidden murderous aura. The moon was bright and the stars were few, all this was grim and quiet.

Yan Qing was in the crowd, breathing out. The palms of his hands opened, clenched, opened, and clenched again...

That Ning Liheng, he is very powerful...

He may be prepared...

Even if there are only more than two thousand people in Dulong Gang, they may not be able to withstand it...

Liangshan has been forced to a dead end...

What happens next is not what he should do. What he said, he has already done...

Wu Yong and the others already know that there are spies among the leaders, and they can't be unprepared. He may be exposed, and may cause trouble because of being clever...

But as long as they are not sure that he is the spy, they cannot discover secret actions. Even if they discover it, he may have already left...

Don't take risks...

Can't sit idly by...

His heart was in great hesitation. He looked at the moonlight above the tree gaps and shook his head.

No matter how you think about it, it feels like...

There is no need.

Let's earn my own life. Ning Liheng, since you are so smart, you must have been prepared...

Master, I have kept my promise, I should...

**************

Time gradually passed, and what was hidden in the tranquility of the night was like a sharp knife, still constantly gathering strength, becoming sharper because of the silent repression. Put on the armor, fastened the cuffs, wiped the tip of the knife, again and again...

With a whoosh, on one side of the camp, a figure like a civet cat hid into the grass, passing through under the moonlight.

The scenes in front of him constantly appeared and separated. He didn't need much time, just a warning was enough. It was just a pity that because of this escape, he didn't bring fireworks or other things, but it wasn't far from here to the direction of Zhanjia Ao.

If that person dies, everything will be in vain, and the master in the capital may not really be able to be rehabilitated or live well. If Liangshan's success depends on one battle, he has to take this risk again.

Grass, trees, rocks, and darkness all silently moved aside under the rapid run of that figure, but also in such a rapid run, a sound of wind came!

...

In the forest, the leaders greeted each other and made gestures. One, two... Finally, three thousand figures silently stood up and began to move.

Here at Yan Qing's subordinates, Zhu Wu had already come and appeared in front of everyone. After a while, they joined the forward team, like a silent torrent, rushing forward...

...

With a snap, a fight in the dark, and then several punches of bang bang bang bang, the blade silently stabbed out, falling into the empty space. Two figures leaped away in different directions.

"Director Dai..."

"Good skill."

The blade was hidden in Dai Zong's sleeve. Two zhang away, Yan Qing turned around. Just in the high place in front of him, someone came, one, two... Finally, a terrifying aura gathered. The leader looked at him deeply and shook his head.

"Yan Qing, Yan Qing, in the end it was you, it really makes me... so heartbroken!"

Under the moonlight, that was Song Jiang who was ready to kill, a cunning hero, after all, not someone who was always kind to others. Behind him, beside him, Wu Song, Guan Sheng, Chai Jin, the Ruan brothers and more than ten Liangshan elites had already come. And the most eye-catching, perhaps because of the escape all the way, and being isolated and becoming pale, and somewhat sickly, was Xi Junyu. At this point, he was clapping, finally able to stand beside Song Jiang as an important strategist again.

"When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together, and heroes are not free when luck goes. For such a long time, we have calculated all the calculations. It seems that finally, we can walk ahead of that person. Brother Yan, actually, Mr. Lu is still alive, right... Congratulations..."

A somewhat weak, somewhat joyful, but leisurely voice spread faintly in the night...

*************

Soon after, on the last mountain ridge, the first figure finally appeared silently, and then people were like ants, living together and going up. In the crowd, someone reached out and pointed to the not-so-distant place below, the two thousand-person camp with little defense...

Zhanjia Ao. The offensive was like a torrent!
