Even when Daning is in the cold winter and the moon, Qiuli's side is still stuffy and uncomfortable, as long as he moves, a layer of sticky sweat will appear on his body, especially for the soldiers wearing armor.

Fortunately, the temperature in Anzi Mountain is slightly lower than outside, and the mountain breeze is refreshing, but there are no absolutes in the world, and there are dangers along with the coolness, the mountains are full of unknowns, and no one knows whether the seemingly flat grassland will be a swamp that can swallow people into, and whether there will be leeches that can suck human blood in the swamp, not to mention that there are many fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards in this mountain.

The strength of the Ning army could not enclose the entire Anzi Mountain, and could only block all known access roads in and out of the mountain, but for Ruan Tengyuan, who fled into Anzi Mountain, he was not worried about the problem of grain and grass, because there was a granary in this mountain, and with this granary, at least he didn't have to worry about the next ten years, and they didn't plan to come out in the first place.

In a dense bush, Chen Ran squatted there and looked up, turned his head and gestured.

Shen Leng came up with a cat on his waist and squatted beside Chen Ran: "How is it?" ”

Chen Ran shook his head: "If it's not that the hiding ability of the Qiu Liren scouts is too strong, or they haven't set up a guard on the periphery at all, calculating that we have entered the mountain for more than fifteen miles, and we haven't found anything." ”

"It's not normal."

Shen Leng said: "The scouts sent in by General Haisha before also found nothing, even if the Qiuli people are extremely confident in their city pass, why don't they even set up scouts on the periphery." ”

Chen Ran said: "We have to catch a few locals to do it, without a guide, we can't find anything in this mountain for a few days and nights." ”

"It's hard to find."

Shen Leng said: "If you can find a local guide, General Hai won't be so worried." ”

In fact, when Haisha led the army to chase Ruan Tengyuan into Anzi Mountain, Ruan Tengyuan ordered all the people in the villages and towns under the mountain to enter the mountain together.

"Anzi Mountain is a famous fierce mountain in Qiuli, perhaps even their scouts are afraid of being swallowed by the danger of the mountain."

Chen Ran said: "I asked the scouts under General Hai before, and they said that they had been exploring for many days, but there was no longer a small road, and there was only one road that could really enter the mountain, which was paved in order to build a granary in the mountain, and the road into the mountain was six miles into the mountain pass, the city pass was tall and strong, and there were enough defenders, and the granary was built in this place to prevent a crisis, and this place was only a few hundred miles away from the capital city, Ruan Tengyuan plunged into it, and there was Xiongguan to guard it, he could really rest easy. ”

Shen Leng also went to see the city pass.

After Zhuang Yong's injuries healed, Haisha asked Shen Leng to attack Anzi Mountain together.

The sea sand has been surrounding the mountain for months, but there is no clue at all.

Although the road leads to Chengguan, but what is annoying is that Chengguan is not in the mountain on this side, the road stops abruptly when it reaches the edge of the cliff, there is about a suspension bridge about eleven or twelve zhang long between the opposite peaks, the suspension bridge is built very firmly, the seeker on the opposite Chengguan pulls the suspension bridge up, this 30-meter deep stream is the insurmountable moat.

The force cannot be unleashed, and even if it can be deployed, it is impossible to leap more than a dozen zhang.

In the past few days, Shen Leng has been trying to find a way to the granary, but there is no local guide in this vast mountain, and it is basically impossible to find the way.

"Two days ago, I also saw the arrogance of the Qiuli people in the city gate, as if their capital was breached, but they were the victors."

Chen Ran looked annoyed: "Those monkeys, jumping up and down, if they can go over, they really want to be chopped up one by one, the home is gone, the country is gone, and a group of people are still very proud and proud in the mountains." ”

Anzi Mountain, a mountain fortress that the people of Qiuli claim will never break.

The mountain stream is only one of them, the narrowest place is thirty meters, the width of the place is hundreds of meters, this kind of span wants to build a bridge in the case of harassment and attack by the people who want to build no possibility, if it is a simpler method, it is even more unrealistic to build an extra-long ladder, the opposite city wall is built on the edge of the cliff, and the ladder has no place to build at all.

Second, there are a sufficient number of heavy bed crossbows in the city pass, all aimed at the road on the mountain on this side, once the Ning army is assembled, those heavy bed crossbows are simply slaughtered, and the road is overlooking the opposite city pass, not to mention gathering troops, a few will be directly bombarded to death.

Third, there are stone-throwing trucks in the city pass, although the road is still flat and wide, and the heavy bed crossbow blocks the entrance to the drawbridge, if the stone-throwing truck throws the boulder over and rolls down the slope of the road, the casualties caused to the Ning army can be imagined, even if the casualties are reduced to a minimum, the stones are silted on the road, and it is even more difficult for the soldiers to assemble again.

So even a general like Haisha couldn't think of a way for a while, and after Zhuang Yong's body recovered a little, he discussed with Shen Leng, and the two of them jointly commanded the final blow of the pair.

Taking Anzishan and capturing Ruan Tengyuan can announce the destruction of the country, and can also avenge Zhuang Yong.

Shen Leng had been silent all the time coming down from the mountain, and his mind was the clear terrain he had seen in the past few days, but no matter how he analyzed it, it was impossible to bypass the city pass.

Back at the Ningjun camp at the bottom of the mountain, Haisha was thinking in front of the map, just as worried.

"How?"

Seeing Shen Leng returning, Haisha immediately asked.

Shen Leng shook his head, sat down and poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it all: "I still don't have the slightest clue, I can't find any other way in the mountains, I have reached the high place of the mountain peak here, and when I look at the opposite side, it seems that it is an isolated island, only the suspension bridge is connected to the outside world." ”

Haisha sighed: "Yes...... I've seen it many times too. ”

Shen Leng said: "But I always feel that there should be a way to be found, otherwise, Ruan Tengyuan does not need to order to take away tens of thousands of villagers in nearby villages and towns, that is tens of thousands of people, although he can be a slave coolie, but the consumption of grain and grass for tens of thousands of people is also something he needs to worry about, the granary built in the mountains cannot be relied on for a hundred years as they claim, that is boasting, and it is also necessary to take the suspension bridge to transport grain and grass into it, from the analysis of the analysis, the grain stored in the mountains is calculated according to the needs of 100,000 people, and it can last for three or five years is the limit, and it may be shorter." ”

"What if we went build a huge engineering truck?"

Haisha looked at Shen Leng: "I've been thinking about it for the past two days, let's gather craftsmen and build a siege vehicle hanging from the suspension bridge, at least as high as the opposite city wall, there is a huge wooden arm that can be extended out, and then lean on the opposite city gate......"

"Not a chance."

Shen Leng shook his head: "Not to mention that such a huge siege vehicle is difficult to go up the mountain, even if it is near the cliff, the stone-throwing vehicles and at least more than 100 heavy bed crossbows of Qiu Liren are intensively fired, and our people will not be able to push it up at all." ”

It's like....... It was a cave entrance, and there were dozens of cannons and thousands of people waiting outside the cave all the time, and the people in the cave would be beaten to pieces as soon as they came out, and even if it was a heavy armored vehicle, it would be bombarded with debris by concentrated artillery fire in an instant.

Haisha fell silent again, in fact, he didn't think of it, but this seemed to be the only way.

Not to mention the sailor soldiers, even the southern Xinjiang wolf ape can't go up.

The two men looked at each other, but neither said anything more.

After a long time, Shen Leng got up: "I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Haisha nodded: "Okay." ”

In fact, the two of them knew in their hearts, no matter how many times they looked at it, they didn't seem to see a little clarity, Haisha had been watching for a few months, and the scouts had not stopped exploring Anzi Mountain, if there was a way, it should have been discovered a long time ago.

Shen Leng returned to his military tent and sat there thinking about it, until he suddenly thought of something in the second half of the night, got up and asked Chen Ran to take someone to inquire about something, and not long after, the first batch of scouts who chased the Qiuli people into Anzi Mountain were invited by Chen Ran to come.

These scouts are the elite of the elite, and each of them, put in the people, maybe dozens of people can't imagine what can happen to one of them.

A few scouts had already fallen asleep, and they were still a little apprehensive when they were suddenly invited by Shen Leng.

"I want to ask."

Shen Leng handed everyone a cup of hot tea: "You were the first to follow the Qiuli team into Anzi Mountain, do you know where the first village Ruan Tengyuan sent people to?" ”

"There's no way to determine which is the first, but the most special one knows that the place is called Pushan Village."

The scout team Zheng Hongzhao immediately replied: "At that time, the army besieged the capital, and almost all the troops were attracted by the Qiuli people who fled from the north gate, and no one thought that it was actually a plan to lure the enemy by the Qiuli people, and later after learning that there was an elite team of about 20,000 people rushing out of the west gate, General Hai ordered all armies to mobilize scouts to follow. ”

Hong Zhao said seriously: "The humble post is the first batch of people to keep up, because I don't know how many teams will be divided into the team that enters Anzi Mountain, so the number of scouts mobilized by General Hai is also very large, and the humble post knows that at least hundreds of scouts are scattered and tracked, and after arriving at the foot of Anzi Mountain, the Qiuli people have been forcing the local villages and towns to evacuate, but the humble post found that the people who went to Pushan Village were extraordinary. ”

Hong Zhao said: "It should be Ruan Tengyuan's most important general Ruan Huanlin who went in person, we saw the battle flag of the great general Qiu Li going over there, at least thousands of cavalry, there are very few cavalry of Qiu Li, most of them are still concentrated in the forbidden army, so I suspect that there was even Emperor Ruan Tengyuan who went with him at that time." ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly.

Qiuli has many terrain and few waterways and plains, and does not raise horses, so Qiuli does not have many cavalry at all.

If Ruan Tengyuan had personally gone to that small village called Pushan Village, he might have really found something.

"Have you been to investigate?"

Shen Leng asked.

"I've been."

Hong Zhao shook his head: "Later, we went to that village three times before and after, but we didn't find any useful clues. ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Thank you, I will talk to General Hai tomorrow, and you can take me over there to have a look." ”

Hong Zhao immediately got up and clenched his fists: "Obey." ”

Early the next morning, Shen Leng took Chen Ran, Wang Kuohai and more than 100 elite scouts from the camp and went straight to Pushan Village, which was not very far from the camp at the bottom of the mountain, and arrived immediately after riding a horse for less than half an hour.

The village was empty, and even the houses had been burned to the ground, which looked extremely miserable.

Even after a few days, there still seems to be a burning smell in the air, or maybe it's just a visual reaction to the brain.

From time to time, wild wolves are seen fleeing from the rubble, and they seem to be looking for something.

Faintly, it seemed that there were a pair of lonely ghost-like eyes in this village staring at Shen Leng and them, just waiting for them to come in.
