The 2,000 soldiers and horses were divided into six school camps and scattered among the Hengduan Mountains.

According to Li Su's order, each school camp should keep a distance of two miles from other school camps, and no more than ten miles at most.

At such a distance, support can be provided in a timely manner between each school camp.

At the same time, it can also avoid detection to a large extent.

A mile road in the mountains and a mile road in the plains are two different concepts.

It may seem like a short time, but in fact it takes a lot of time.

Gao Tianyou was one of the two thousand soldiers and horses, a small third-level immortal.

This time, he went out with the army to this Hengduan Mountain Range, and went to the forefront as a scout to spy on intelligence.

Under the cover of leaves, Gao Tianyou and several of his companions hid together on the halfway side of a high mountain.

Cautiously, observing the scene in the distance.

"Didn't the guy I saw just now come here? Why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?" Gao Tianyou took a weed in his mouth, chewed it twice, and spit it out.

"Maybe it's a good thing that people are gone. A companion beside Gao Tianyou said.

"Maybe there's one of their secret passages down here, maybe a cave. If someone else puts a cat inside, of course we can't see it. ”

"What do you mean, we still have to go over and have a look?" Gao Tianyou glanced at him.

The man was silent for a moment, then turned to Gao Tianyou and said.

"Let's draw lots. ”

Grab a few leaves and write a word on one of them.

Then Gao Tianyou threw them in a dirt pit, and whoever got the leaves with the words written on them went to work in the forest in front of them.

Several people drew lots one after another, and the results were all ordinary leaves.

In the end, only Gao Tianyou and the friend who proposed to draw lots just now were left, and the situation has not yet been announced.

Cautiously, the friend turned over the leaf in his hand, but it was empty.

He laughed and punched Gao Tianyou hard.

"It's bad luck. Gao Tianyou threw the leaf in his hand, and everyone saw that there was exactly one written on the leaf.

"Alright, you guys keep an eye here, I'll take a look and come back. ”

Gao Tianyou stepped out, and by the way, he also stepped on the leaf on the ground.

The leaf silently shattered into countless powders, blending in with the surrounding soil.

"His grandmother's, why am I carrying it like that?"

Gao Tianyou scolded in a low voice in his heart, but his movements did not slow down.

The sturdy body shuttled between countless plants and trees without making a sound.

It didn't take long for Gao Tianyou to go down the mountain.

He picks out the wooded areas to hide his tracks to a greater extent.

On the mountain, Gao Tianyou's companions were also vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

It's okay to laugh and laugh as you joke, but you have to be serious when you get down to business.

Scouting is not an easy job.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

As time passed, Gao Tianyou had successfully arrived at the target mountain they had chosen earlier.

This mountain is not big, but it is not small.

If you want to carefully survey every corner, it is impossible for one person to do it.

Therefore, Gao Tianyou only roughly selected a few places and checked them roughly.

Only some of the more special terrain will he take a closer look.

Soon, the time for the three sticks of incense passed.

The companions on the mountain next door saw Gao Tianyou, who was hiding behind a tree and secretly gesticulating.

The meaning of that gesture is that there is no situation.

"Why don't we go any further?" the scouts looked at each other.

It was decided to push the observation point further by a mountain.

A few people were just about to leave for the mountain, when one of them stopped the others.

He silently made a gesture and pointed in one direction.

All of them were well-trained scouts, and they all looked in that direction with understanding.

As a result, it didn't matter, they found a mountain next door to Gao Tianyou, opposite the mountain they were carrying.

A ten-person team appeared.

Several scouts quickly hid, and Gao Tianyou on the opposite side saw the movements of his companions and realized that something might be wrong.

I found a place on the spot and hid myself as well.

However, Gao Tianyou actually didn't need to hide, the place where he was happened to be stuck in a dead corner with the team that suddenly appeared.

He wouldn't see the team unless he flipped onto another anticline.

In the same way, the people in that team couldn't see him.

"It's well equipped. ”

One of the scouts looked at the team in the distance, lowered his voice and said to his companion next to him.

The equipment is really good, and it can even be said to be excellent.

Even under long-distance observation, the scouts discovered that the armor worn by this team and the weapons in their hands should be at the level of third-level immortal weapons.

In the immortal world, third-level immortal weapons are not rare, and ordinary golden immortals can get them.

But it would not be easy to equip an immortal-level army with a third-level immortal weapon.

"Shall we inform the troops now?" asked one of the scouts.

"You go to one, and the others find a way to touch them and get close to them. ”

Then, one of the scouts left under the cover of the forest and retreated to the rear.

The rest of the scouts exchanged news with Gao Tianyou.

Then they all moved in the direction of that team, gradually getting closer.

Gao Tianyou was so close, only one anticline distance away, and he could face the gang face to face.

But his companions had already told him this through the language of gestures.

So he always stayed on the edge of the anticline of the mountain.

From time to time, I also pop my head out and peek at the situation.

When that team crosses the anticline, it leaves in the opposite direction.

Gao Tianyou rolled out from behind a rock and sneakily followed them all the way.

...

"Your Excellency, there's information from the scouts ahead. Wu Wen walked up to Li Su with a piece of paper in his hand and handed him the paper.

Li Su took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The scouts have spotted a small team of suspected patrol troops, and this team is equipped with third-level immortal weapons. Wu Wen, you see we guessed correctly. ”

Li Su smiled at Wu Wen, and then burned the note in his hand cleanly.

"Xu Zhuo really has another force, and it is not a small force. ”

"My lord, do we still need to move on?" Wu Wen asked.

"Of course, we're going to find his lair and figure out what happened to him. Li Su said.

Gao Tianyou and his companions followed the patrol all the way.

They did a good job of concealment, and the patrol team never noticed their presence.

This stopped and went, and soon Gao Tianyou and the others approached a place they couldn't have imagined.

A heavy, sturdy yellow castle appeared in front of them.

Gao Tianyou and the others each looked for a bunker and hid behind it to observe the castle.

Towards this point, there is no way to go any further.

At the gate of the castle, there were two rows of guards.

And on the city walls, he also saw quite a few soldiers standing behind the battlements.

The armor and weapons on his body are all excellent.

"Sure enough, they still have their hands on it. Gao Tianyou said in his heart.

With such a strong and well-defended castle in the mountains, the amount of work can be imagined.

Even if it is built with the power of immortals, it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Just by looking at the surface of this castle, Gao Tianyou can imagine how tight and solemn the inside of this castle should be.

"Is Xiaoliu back?" Gao Tianyou asked the people around him in a low voice.

In this case, he didn't even dare to use the immortal sense to transmit sounds.

I'm afraid that there are some masters stationed in this castle who can catch their soul power fluctuations.

"Not yet, but I guess it won't be long. One of them replied aloud, "I have left a mark on the road, and if he finds it, he will be able to touch it." ”

Gao Tianyou nodded, no longer spoke, but continued to observe the castle in the distance.

On this castle, as far as he could see, there were no less than a few hundred soldiers.

With the length and width of the wall, it is estimated that it is not a problem to stand with a thousand people.

The city wall garrisoned by 1,000 people requires at least more than 3,000 soldiers to be effective.

And if there are still many soldiers and horses in this castle, the number of soldiers and horses that attack the castle will have to be doubled.

It is impossible to storm it, Gao Tianyou knows that the number of people dispatched from Yuezhou City this time is only two thousand.

Two thousand people can't even eat this wall, let alone storm it.

But thankfully, the Lord of the Xuanbing Platform didn't seem to have any intention of attacking.

All along, the order given to their scouts was reconnaissance, not infiltration.

Most of them also guessed that Xu Zhuo had this hand.

"Lao Gao, shall we go back to our lives?"

A person next to Gao Tianyou said in an almost inaudible voice.

"Wait, I haven't seen much yet. Gao Tianyou frowned and decided to continue observing.

"If I look at it again, I'm afraid something will happen. The man said in a long voice, word by word, "I don't know if there will be patrols coming out of this city."

, in case someone searches for us later, won't this be a blood mold?"

Gao Tianyou glanced at his mouth, indeed what he said made a lot of sense.

The army in this castle does not yet know their patrol habits.

"Then let's find out their patrol habits before going back. Gao Tianyou said lightly.

The guy next to Gao Tianyou, his expression instantly seemed like eating a fly, and his eyes when he looked at Gao Tianyou were full of the words "You tease me?"

This brother swore that if it weren't for the special situation, he really wanted to press Gao Tianyou to the ground and beat him now.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. ”

After saying this indignantly, he moved his body to the side, wanting people like Ligao Tianyou to go farther.

Those who have seen the pit man have never seen the pit himself.

You kid this is a cheating daddy, you know?

This is just a short episode, Gao Tianyou they are scouts among professional soldiers in the end.

Soon, like immutable stones, they stood behind their respective bunkers, revealing only a pair of eyes to observe the enemy intently.

More than an hour has passed since this observation.

Gao Tianyou and their luck is indeed good, in this more than an hour, more than a dozen patrols of ten people have walked out of the castle.

Also well-equipped.

But none of these patrols went to the mountain where Gao Tianyou was hiding.

On Gao Tianyou's side, there were only two people left at this time, and the others had already returned to their lives one after another.

Only their brothers remained behind, staring at the castle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

...

Li Sujun, temporarily stationed in the camp.

Night has gradually fallen, and night always comes so fast in the mountains.

You may have just felt the light dim, and in the blink of an eye, it would be pitch black.

And Li Su was in the main tent, and he had just met with the last scout who came back to restore his life.

After he went out, Li Su sat alone in the tent, his eyes closed.

"It's hard to fight..."

A moment later, Li Su opened his eyes and said this.

Li Su still wanted to fight in his heart, but after seeing this information, this idea couldn't help but be withdrawn by him.

Xu Zhuo was really in the Hengduan Mountains, and he also built a strong city.

Li Su didn't even need to see it with his own eyes to imagine what a strong city it was.

Even if it is a mountain city, it is not something that can be won by just 2,000 soldiers and horses.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?"

At this time, Wu Wen walked into the military tent.

Li Su glanced at him, and said helplessly and tiredly: "Withdraw the army..."

"I can't beat it, this Xu Zhuo has built such a place in the Hengduan Mountains, I'm afraid that even if the Yuezhou army comes out, it won't be able to eat him. Li Su said.

"Those who dare to rebel really have a back-up move. In terms of infiltration investigation, I am definitely stronger than Xu Zhuo. But when it comes to marching and fighting, I am afraid that none of us will be his opponents. ”

"Isn't Xu Zhuo just so that he can one day establish himself as king? At present, we can only control the situation and prevent it from worsening. But if you want to completely pull out this cancer, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

Wu Wen was speechless, and at this time he didn't know what to say to comfort Li Su.

Li Su sighed and continued: "Inform the people in the other states to be optimistic about those guys who are ready to move. We can't do anything about Xu Zhuo, but let them come in, but it's even more chaotic. ”

"Yes!" Wu Wendao.

After explaining these words, Li Su stood up and walked back and forth in the tent.

Finally, he stood still.

Xu Zhuo held on to the city and took advantage of the natural danger. Gu Nan checked the intelligence for him in Yuezhou again, and the intention of waiting for an opportunity to counterattack was obvious. Li Su said.

"Wu Wen, let the scouts do whatever it takes to find out the truth in that city. Remember, it's best to find out Xu Zhuo's intentions!"

Bang!

As soon as Li Su's words fell, a loud bang came from outside the tent.

Wu Wen and Li Su hurriedly walked out of the tent to check, only to see that behind the mountains in the distance, a black flame lit up to the sky.
