When passing by the small earth city, which was no more than a few villages in size, the bleating of sheep inside also brought some life to the wasteland, making it no longer so lonely.
"I really want to go up to the snowy mountain. This mountain looks much higher than I imagined."
"Why, the scenery of the Northland scares you?"
"Are you kidding, am I, Yin Wudao, so scared? Let's wait and see who reaches the top of the mountain first. Come on~"
Feng Yu stopped them, "Hey, our goal is not to climb the mountain, but to find out if there are any cliffs, caves or anything like that. Logically speaking, such a snow-capped mountain cannot be filled with flat patches everywhere. It is reported that there used to be
It is an inhabited place that has only been moved due to snow and avalanches all year round. As long as there is a cave to climb over the mountain. It is not practical to go up the mountain, so don't waste your time."
"Looking for a hole? It's fine down here, but it's covered in snow. How can I find it?"
"If I knew how to find it, I wouldn't have to explore the way. Just take your time and be careful not to fall into the ice cave."
After turning over and dismounting, Feng Yu took the lead in climbing up. They divided into groups and explored the route separately. After all, the mountain was not small, so they could only do it simultaneously.
"Once discovered, fireworks will be sent."
"good."
Following the slope, Feng Yu soon reached a flat land, marked it and continued up.
There were more and more white colors, and soon I stepped on thick snow under my feet, so I had to slow down for safety.
Pointing his sword energy inward, he sensed that the snow quilt here was really thick enough. If he didn't have enough skill, he might not even see the bottom of his true energy. If he tried this everywhere, he would probably be gone for three to five years.
Too likely.
He flew up again, dozens of sword energy spilled out from his fingertips, leaving tiny holes in the snow quilt, but he didn't find what he wanted.
Throughout the afternoon, no one set off a single firework bomb. It was almost getting dark, but it hadn't even reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Feng Yu began to have the idea of retreating. Could it be that he guessed wrong? Where did the people live in the past? The mountains here are connected. It cannot be formed later. It can be calculated over thousands of years.
But there is a natural barrier outside, and it is hard to tell whether we can simply live on the other side, except for the small town passing underneath.
"It seems like they want to go together."
The sudden sound startled Feng Yu. If he could remain undetected around him, he must have extremely high martial arts skills. Could he be someone from Tianmu Mountain?
"who?"
"I just came down from the top of the mountain, and I didn't expect to meet you."
On the mountainside, there was a middle-aged man wearing a white mink coat and a tall scholar's hat. He was carrying a bamboo basket tied tightly, and there was a small shed on the bamboo basket.
"It's you, why are you here?"
Liao Zaohua, the ghost doctor and scholar, jumped directly in front of Feng Yu and stretched out his hand to brush the snow off his body, which seemed quite relaxed.
"I came from behind and planned to go to Tang State. Now it seems that I don't have to go for the time being."
"Going to Tang State? Looking for someone?"
"What else? Although I have enmity with the people in Tianmu Mountain, I'm not stupid. It's impossible for me to do it alone. I have to find a helper. Now the helper in front is trapped in Wolong Ridge, and I can only go to Tang State to find reinforcements.
.”
"It turns out that you have been in Beiyan since you left Qingzhou."
"Well, I'm waiting for you. Don't forget, you owe me. You must accompany me on the journey to Tianmu Mountain."
Feng Yu looked up and looked at the top of the mountain where snow still seemed to be falling, and finally smiled again after many days.
"It seems there is no need to waste time. You have already found the route."
"Other paths are unavailable. I can't attack a city with one person, so I have to resort to this. But it seems that you and I have the same idea."
"Where is the entrance to the cave?"
Liao Zaohua took out a piece of cake from the bamboo basket, heated it with internal force, opened his mouth and bit it.
"Why can't I come around from the top of the mountain?"
"This snowy mountain is so high and covered with snow all year round. It must be extremely dangerous. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, I don't believe you can come down here without taking a breath."
"It's quite insightful. The entrance of the cave is not far from the mountainside. It was originally left by the people who lived here before, but I dug it through. However, it is no problem for us to go up. Are you sure others can go up?"
Looking in the direction of Liao Zaohua's finger, there were all cliffs and there was no flat land at all. It was probably difficult for the 50,000 troops to climb.
"Let's go back first."
A firework exploded into the sky, and under the darkness, there was another person on the way back.
Early on the third day, the army gathered at the foot of the mountain, and everyone looked confident. Feng Yu was the first to rush forward.
Arranged in a planned manner, one by one, the distance was just right. Liao Zaohua was still above Feng Yu, and about a stick of incense away, others were already waiting at the entrance of the cave.
On the white mountain, it's like there is a crooked black trail, and each person is like an ant.
The ropes were firmly tied, but the real strength came from all the sheep exchanged from that small town.
When the blood of the lamb leg hit this cold cliff, it condensed directly into ice and stuck firmly to the top, just like a ladder extending to the less cold place below. If the lamb leg was not enough, there was also a horse leg, almost the entire
There was not a single living horse left in the army.
"One by one, hurry up!"
"Yin Wudao, you guys can help us pack up the mutton and horse meat. We can fill our stomachs and have a good meal on the way."
"Your uncle knows how to order us."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Don't be stingy. I'll treat you to a drink when I get back."
Feng Yu went back midway to make sure no one fell off before leaving. There was only sheep blood and horse blood left on the ground, but it soon solidified.
The temperature in the cave was higher than outside, so it was warmer, so everyone walked faster. With Liao Zaofu leading the way, there was no need to worry.
When we came out of the cave, it was completely white and we couldn't even see where the foot of the mountain was.
"Is there anything Mr. Liao can do?"
"I've walked through all the terrain here. If you follow this trail, you won't encounter glaciers, ice caves or anything like that. However, those with low martial arts skills must be slow. If they slip, their lives will not be saved."
Feng Yu turned around and asked everyone, "Is anyone scared?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Okay, let's go down the mountain!"
Although we worked hard, we still couldn't guarantee that everyone would survive. The mountain was steep, and we couldn't see the shape of the snow under our feet. Some people fell down the cliff due to the cold and shivering, and Feng Yu couldn't save them. But fortunately,
Not many, less than a hundred people, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
"Instruct the Huotou Army to set up a pot and light a fire. Cook and eat all the mutton and horse meat to replenish your strength. The area ahead is the sphere of influence of the Beiyan Army. Keep your spirits up."
Not long after, Feng Yu walked up to Liao Zaofu with two large pieces of mutton and gave him a large piece.
"Thank you, do you know where they are trapped?"
Liao Zaofu didn't show any pretense, he just ate it as he took it. He was a little tired of the big cake after chewing it for so long.
"Wolong Ridge is still some distance away from here. It is estimated that according to the current marching speed, it will take about a week. The general direction is to the northwest. It was originally a pass, but it was used by the Northern Yan Army. Your old prince doesn't know either
If you listen to someone’s words, you can directly enter the capital of Beiyan from there, that’s it.”
"Since it is a pass, it should be easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"The problem is that the Beiyan Army knows Hulukou very well, and you only have as many people as they have, so it is only a matter of time before they can't hold it."
That night, everyone slept soundly. Only Feng Yu's main camp tent was always lit, and several people were discussing how to launch an effective raid at Hulukou.
Wolong Ridge, where the dragon is said to live, is a mountain range, but not that high, and there is no snowflake at all. The end of Wolong Ridge is Hulukou.
As the name suggests, it is a gourd-like terrain. At the entrance of the gourd is a very narrow canyon, where the pass is, and behind it are two flat lands. The one at the back is larger and looks like a gourd.
Just because this wasteland is not under the jurisdiction of our army, the hinterland is actually a trap. Once it is broken through, it will become a dumpling in the pot and cannot get out.
At present, Qin Yi's Zhenbei Army is encountering this trouble. It is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. Even the old prince, who has been fighting for a lifetime, is a little helpless.
The disparity in strength and the depth of the trap meant that the only option was to use guerrilla tactics to gain time.
"Report, Your Majesty, there are traces of people thirty miles east, and they are gradually approaching our army."
Qin Yi did not have a tent, but just sat on the wasteland with a stool. There was a gun standing on his right hand. He looked a little tired but still calm and unflustered.
"Send the order, Heavenly Furnace War Technique, let people enter the entrance, and report back when they are twenty miles away."
"yes."
Standing next to Qin Yi was Qin Tianfang. Although his cultivation level was only at the Taoist realm, his mind was full of the military formation methods inherited from Qin Yi, and he rarely suffered defeats.
"Father, once the Heavenly Furnace strategy is effective, the enemies on the other sides will swarm in. I think you should retreat another twenty miles. It will be very dangerous here later."
Qin Yi looked at the sky that was different from that of Tang State, "Are you afraid?"
"Why are you afraid of fighting? But my father, you are still injured, it's true~"
"Is this also fear? Afraid that someone will die? The first thing that both sides look at is their courage. No matter what the reason is, once fear takes over the heart, you will not be able to use your full combat power. You have to remember that as a coach, you can never
I have the slightest idea just now. The location of the main camp was determined before the war. Once the war starts, it cannot be changed, otherwise it will only destroy your prestige."
Qin Tianfang stopped talking and put all his thoughts on the upcoming battle. This was also a breakout plan. As long as he could open a hole, he might have a chance to break out of the siege. This chapter has been completed!
