In the distance, the mountain peaks are like the city walls.

The towering peaks are beacons, and the sunken valleys are parapets, and it is this ancient mountain range that separates Luzhou and Fenzhou geographically, making it impossible for them to communicate smoothly. It also allowed Nalu Prefecture to form a natural fortress under the protection of the surrounding mountains, which was enough to ensure the safety of the place and not to accept the invasion of others.

And on the gently leveling slope, a river descended and rolled up thousands of water vapors, adding some moisture to the green forest.

At this moment, a group of about a dozen cavalrymen was walking out of the peak, and the horses under them seemed to be a little tired, bowing their heads and drinking the river water, but the soldiers above were still vigilant, looking at everything around them, as if there were some powerful creatures hidden in this jungle.

Looking at the decorations on their bodies, it is obvious that it is the horses under the command of the Chifeng Army, and they are now in the Qinshui place on the border of Luzhou, reconnoitering the enemy's situation.

At this moment, a sound suddenly rose in the distance.

Thousands of chirping sounds immediately covered the sky and the sun with the flying of the birds, all of them vibrated their wings, and flew in the sky.

The group of soldiers immediately became nervous, grabbed the longbow, and drove their horses towards the opposite side.

Just looking at the way it looked before, it was clear that something unusual was happening in that place.

When the jungle was peeled away, the leading soldier immediately saw a line of soldiers winding in front of him. There were only a few hundred, but in the far jungle, many more came out of it and headed for it. Moreover, the style of the battle armor on the other party's body is also completely different from theirs, but they don't seem to have noticed the situation here, not only do they not carry weapons in their hands, but the formation is also a little looser.

"It's the enemy!

Seeing these guys, the captain immediately woke up, opened his mouth and let out a long shout, and then turned around and ran towards the deep mountains.

The rest of the soldiers were also like him, and they drove their horses one after another, ignoring the possibility of disturbing the enemy behind them, and rushed towards Luzhou City. At this time, the most important thing is to pass the news here to the people in Luzhou City, so as to prepare in advance.

It's just this action, but it also alarmed the soldiers lurking in this forest.

Immediately, a group of men and horses galloped over, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and they also shot arrows with bows in their hands, trying to block all the men and horses here, but in an instant, several soldiers were killed by arrows.

When the captain saw this, he immediately turned his horse, but instead of fleeing towards the mountains and forests, he rushed towards these people. Behind him, there were also several cavalrymen who followed, ignoring the fact that the army in front of him numbered hundreds or thousands of people, and it was simply not something they could resist.

The others kept driving their war horses towards the mountains and forests, without any nostalgia.

At this time, the most important thing is to pass back the enemy's intelligence!

........................

After dealing with the affairs of the iron smelting station, Xiao Xing returned to Luzhou City.

Running around day and night, even though she is a good martial artist, but if she is like this every day, she will feel that her body can't hold on.

When she returned to the mansion, Xiao Xing just wanted to wash up and wash away the dust, ashes and tiredness on the road, but as soon as she stepped into the mansion, she saw Ma Yundong hurrying over.

With dissatisfaction between his eyebrows, Xiao Xing asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?

At this moment, the sky was full of stars, and the lights in the city had already been extinguished, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon. But Ma Yundong is here and waiting for this time, there must be some reason. Sure enough, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Deacon Xiao, today I found someone crossing the river near Qinshui. ”

"Is it the enemy?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xing immediately woke up.

Qinshui is the dividing line between Luzhou and Fenzhou, and if someone is found crossing the river somewhere, it means that the soldiers stationed in Fenzhou have finally begun to move. And Na Qinshui has been focusing on monitoring since they started the war with the Mengyuan Tartars, but they didn't expect that they were really about to attack now.

If the opponent's 5,000 soldiers and horses attack at this time, with the current strength of only 2,000 soldiers and horses in Luzhou City, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the opponent.

"It should be. That's why I came back in a hurry, just for this matter. Ma Yundong's voice was unusually heavy.

"I understand!" Xiao Xing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Immediately summon Zhang Shijie and the others to come here and agree on battle preparations." Also, immediately pass on the information about this place to the lord, so as not to distract the lord because of the situation here. For now, we have to resign ourselves to fate. ”

........................

The mountains and mountains seem to have no end.

Hiding in the dense jungle, Wu Qing was a little impatient and said, "I didn't expect that Commander Xiao to let us go deep into here?" Brother Zhao, can you tell me what Commander Xiao is thinking?"

Since the battle of Zuixianglou in Luzhou City, their loyal and brave four generals have been thrown back into Qinzhou City, and the four of them have also been divided. He, Tie Xin and Zhao Chen formed a team, led a total of about 500 soldiers and horses, lurked among the mountains and rivers, directly bypassed Yushe City, and came to the location of Zuoquan County behind Meng Yuan Tarzi.

Now, because of the scorching weather, they are hiding in the forest to avoid the heat.

And it's been days like this!

"I don't know what my lord is thinking. But she's never done anything wrong, so we just have to do what we are told. Zhao Chen carefully wiped the steel knife in his hand, his face was flat.

In this improvised team, although his strength is worse than the two, but because it is Xiao Feng's lineage, Tie Xin and Wu Qing have good respect for him, and they have a lot of advice in terms of troop purge, military discipline and marching.

"Ten years apart. I didn't expect you to be the same as before, not the slightest change from before. Seeing that the other party hadn't responded for a long time, Wu Qing felt a little impatient, and when he saw the iron core that was running qigong not far away, constantly waving his fists and feet, he immediately grinned and took a pine cone from his side, and after his fingertips twisted a "pop" sound to wake it up, he said: "Dear second brother, can you tell me, what are we here for?"

Awakened by the pine cone, the iron core turned around from his martial arts training state, he saw that Wu Qing was still laughing like that, he couldn't help but feel funny, and said: "Who should I ask if you ask me? After all, isn't it that little girl who let us come here? Back then, you could have reprimanded her like that." In that case, why don't you just ask her?"

"Ask her?"

As soon as he was squeezed by these words, Wu Qing immediately coughed violently.

It was easy to catch his breath before he said, "It's not that you don't know the character of that person. Back then, she just resisted her words, but she was tortured like that, not to mention that now she is an earth immortal in a high position. Isn't that the same as death?"

There is no way, the grace of saving lives should be reciprocated.

Wu Qing still knows this kind of truth!

"Don't say it, there's movement. ”

Suddenly nervous, Zhao Chen's eyebrows tightened.

"There's movement, where?"

Wu Qing immediately stood up, his hands clenched into his blades, and his gaze swept over everything around him. Tie Xin was also vigilant, and put on the heavy armor, sweeping everything around him as well. It's just that no matter how the two of them searched, they couldn't find half of the movement, so that the two had to look at Zhao Chen with doubts.

In this forest, if the two of them talked about tracking and searching for their prey, they would not be able to defeat Zhao Chen.

At this moment, Zhao Chen made a silent sign language to the two of them, slowly stepped on the ground under his feet, without making a single sound, walked into a tree next to him, and then pushed the leaves away, and pointed to a pair of centaurs who were walking towards this side in the jungle not far away.

There were not many people in this team, only a dozen or so, but there was a familiar person among them, and that person was none other than Jinshuiren.

Tie Xin and Wu Qing saw the golden water man, their faces suddenly became embarrassed, they had fought with this person before, when Zhao Chen was almost controlled by him, and Tie Xin was almost killed by the other party.

Now that a few people have seen each other, they are naturally enemies, and they are very red-eyed.

[What should we do?Rush up and kill him?]

Tightening his brows, Wu Qing couldn't stop moving. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, they did not speak, but directly communicated in sign language.

Tie Xin shook his arm repeatedly, obviously with the fear of this man that day. [No, I can't. The opponent's strength is too strong for the three of us to fight against. 】

Don't forget, this guy almost killed the boss and you! And at this time, he actually left Mengyuan Tartar, there must be some dirty deal in this. Wu Qing was still angry.

[I don't know, but we'll just wait quietly.] At this time, remember not to alarm the other person. And with something given by the Lord, we may not be able to defeat this guy. As the lord, she had long expected that the other party would make such a move, otherwise how would she let us come here?] Zhao Chen waved his hand again and again, calming the two of them down.

[What's that?]

[Later, you two will naturally understand. 】

didn't answer directly, Zhao Chen just made a few gestures to the people behind him, and when they heard this, they quickly took off a heavy iron pipe behind their backs, and the iron pipe was wrapped with seven iron hoops, and the open opening was about enough to fit a fist, I don't know what it was for.

And there are ten of them in this team!(To be continued.) )
