Chapter 169: The Horse Bandit Who Stepped on the Door

On the green grassland, herds of snow-white sheep are dotted among them, corresponding to the white clouds in the blue sky, and the herds of cattle and horses in three or two are .com

For the Ministry of Light, the significance of defeating the Arati tribe was to seize control of the region. There are numerous rivers on this plateau that originate in the Fergana and Alai mountain ranges, the main of which are nearly ten. The land is nourished by abundant water sources, and green pastures are grown everywhere, making it ideal for farming and animal husbandry.

Hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are grazed in several pastures, and grazing cattle and sheep is especially important to the Ministry of Light because of the lack of seeds and the wrong timing of planting.

One of Umeng's duties was to ensure that the entire tribe was free from the need for food. Compared with the fiery scene of the city-building army, Wumeng's farming and animal husbandry plan is much more bleak. Lack of manpower was one of the main problems, while others such as scattered pastures, the threat of prey, sporadic bandits, and problems such as plague plagued Umeng.

The pasture is mainly around the banks of the river, the upper reaches of the mountains are more and less, can not graze, with Ningyuan City as the boundary, the downstream is the power of the Bahana Kingdom, can not go, carefully calculated, in fact, the pastoral area is not very large, hundreds of thousands of livestock is already the carrying limit of this land.

Regarding the invasion of fierce beasts and horse bandits, Wumeng complained to Li Huaitang more than once, but due to the lack of troops, these problems could not be effectively solved. Especially the horse bandits that have risen recently, they are the most ferocious, coming and going like the wind. Li Huaitang suspected that this group of horse bandits of more than 100 people was likely to be the survivors of the Ajeti tribe. No mount can be so fast, except for the Sweaty Horse.

In Li Huaitang's big tent, it had not been a long time since so many important people had gathered, and almost all the generals and thousands of important households of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were present.

"This is today's loss. These bandits are so hateful. ”

Ummon wanted to chop up the horse bandits who embarrassed him with his own hands.

A piece of paper was handed to Li Huaitang's hand.

"Fifty cows and more than five hundred sheep died. One hundred and one horses were taken captive, and there were countless cattle and sheep. ”

Li Huaitang frowned and read the contents of the paper, the same anger.

There is nothing wrong with dead cattle and sheep, and a lot of them are slaughtered every day for food anyway. But what can be robbed is another matter, every time it is robbed so much, how many cattle and sheep can't withstand such robbery.

"We must kill this gang of horse bandits, I have always been the only one who robbed others, and those who dare to rob me will be resolutely destroyed. The eagle riders of the Flying Eagle concentrated their strength, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would find these shameless bandits for me. Li Huaitang tore off the piece of paper in his hand as soon as he could, revealing a murderous look on his face.

"Yes, General." The noisy horse bandits made Feiying lose face. The bandits were cunning, and they didn't know if they were aware of the threat from the air, and they barely showed their faces during the day, and White Jade Claw couldn't find their tracks. The crow's hound, the "hungry wolf", managed to catch their scent, but several times it was traced to the river and the clue was broken, no way, the river here is too dense. Because of the dispersion of the pastures, this group of horse bandits can take advantage of it, and today's sneak attack is the third time. This is undoubtedly a slap on Feiying's face three times, and the hot feeling faintly burns on Feiying's face.

The three cavalry of Guangming dispatched 2,000 cavalry, crossed the Yeji River, formed a huge fan, and swept the net in the southwest direction. Eagle ride, in the southernmost direction, that is, closest to Mount Alai.

To the southwest of the Yeji River, less than forty miles apart, there is a river of similar size.

"The water in front of us is turbulent, and the horse bandits can only cross the river from upstream, and that direction is the key search place for our eagle riders, and the horse bandits can't walk fast with their cattle and sheep, and if they want to leave this place, they can only pass upstream."

Under the guidance of the land snake, the eagle rider searched the upper area. If the bandits wanted to cross the river, they had to go into the water nearby, otherwise the rapids would sweep them away.

"General, come and see, there are traces of crossing the river here."

Yan Jingyuan found many deliberately eliminated animal footprints, but the fallen grass still betrayed the herd that had passed here.

After sending someone to inform the army downstream, the scouts of the Eagle Riders immediately crossed the river and followed the traces that had disappeared from time to time.

Some scattered cattle and sheep began to be found, apparently abandoned by the horse bandits in a panic.

"Hmph, as expected. General, let's go after it! They must not have gone far. ”

The crow said hatefully. He felt the same shame as the Flying Eagle, and he wanted to dismantle the horse bandits with his own hands to relieve his hatred.

Feiying suddenly felt that something was wrong and fell into deep thought. The white jade claws in the sky have not been found any anomalies so far, which means that there should be no one other than oneself in front of them, at least no one who is moving. Well, maybe the bandits are hiding, or maybe the bandits are not in this direction at all. If not in this direction, then what is the explanation for the messy footprints on the river beach and the cattle and sheep found now?

"No, can you go up the river?" The eagle turned to the unpacked.

"Yes, you can, but the roads are very difficult to walk, and it is certainly not possible to carry a lot of livestock."

The answer without a pack gave Feiying an extra heart.

"Turn around and go up the river!"

The flying eagle decisively ordered, he had a feeling, the horse bandits were in the mountains. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to travel a long distance across the sea to attack under the surveillance of the white jade claw. It must be hiding somewhere nearby, waiting for the moment to strike. Those footprints and scattered cattle and sheep were only to confuse the pursuers, and they robbed so many cattle for this purpose, as Wu Dai said, they could only carry a small part of the livestock into the mountains, such as the leg of mutton and the ox shank, which was quickly consumed, which also explained why they frequently came out to plunder.

In fact, it was very difficult to escape the discovery of the White Jade Claw. Unless it is hiding in the woods or grass, do not come out and move.

In a nest in the Alai Mountain Range, a group of ragged horse bandits are celebrating.

"It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten so full for a long time, well, the beef leg and lamb leg meat is really enjoyable."

A large, unshaven man muttered indistinctly as he nibbled on a leg of lamb in his hand.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring wine, otherwise it would be more enjoyable."

Someone echoed the point of view of the beard and added something.

A man with a majestic physique jumped on a boulder and shouted, "Let go of your appetite and eat, and grab it when you are full and strong." Next time, we will go to their lair, and when the time comes, not to mention the wine, even the beauty will be at our disposal! ”

"Yes, General Metz said well, wine and beauty, wahaha!"

Bailai mixed up the sounds in a mess.

The man who stood on the boulder and was known as General Metz laughed triumphantly. He has the qualifications to be arrogant, and he has single-handedly planned three attacks on the Ministry of Light in a row, and the attacks are very perfect and fruitful. Under his skillful maneuvering, the other party was dizzy by him, although he was hiding under the nose of the other party, but the other party just couldn't find any trace of him. The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, but this tilt made his laughter stop abruptly, and a cold sweat trickled out of his back.
