In the northwest direction of Cloudsdale, there is a majestic and dangerous peak called Yishan, where the road is rugged and the mountain road is quite narrow, and it can only accommodate two riders at the same time, and it is the only way to continue walking.

At noon, a cavalry composed of about four or five hundred people, driving cattle, sheep and other goods, slowly marched towards the valley, this cavalry was the Hu army that had just invaded Yunzhong City. At this moment, they are silently walking forward.

"Brother Zan, I didn't expect those Zhao people to be so cowardly, we are only a few hundred, so we scared them so that the city gate was closed and they didn't dare to fight, such people are not worthy of being the opponent of our Lin Hu warriors." The leader of this group of Hu cavalry was two sturdy men who looked very similar, one of them, who looked a little young and vigorous, he glanced at his mouth and said with some disdain.

Obviously, these two men are two brothers, the man who was called Brother Zango by the previous person had a calm face at the moment, he looked back at the back, and found that there was no Zhao Ren chasing him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"King Zuo Ren returned to the tribe overnight last night to inform us that we must lead the Zhao army out of the city, and kill all the Zhao troops who went out to fight, with the current situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete." Zange said worriedly.

Thinking of Zhang Wu's order last night, Brother Zan was also a little worried.

"Yan Dang, you go and gather the brothers who are ambushed on the mountain first, and then we will drive the cattle and sheep back to the tribe first, it is still early, and when we arrive at the tribe, we are looking for Uncle Meng to discuss how to handle this matter."

Yan Zan shook his head, Li Feng was calm and calm, and refused to send troops to pursue, he also felt a little helpless, and immediately instructed his younger brother Yan Dang.

After speaking, Yan Dang also nodded, he jumped off the horse, and then disappeared into the mountain in a few jumps. The group maintained their original speed and advanced towards the valley, and after a while, Yan Dang ran down from Yishan with more than 200 people.

This is their infantry ambushed in the mountains, originally the two Yan Zan brothers planned to attract the Zhao army out of the city, and then ambush the soldiers on the mountain here, the Zhao army was completely annihilated, and they didn't want Li Feng to send troops to fight at all.

Therefore, all these followers he stepped under were naturally invalid.

"Brothers, this time we caught more than a hundred cattle and sheep, and when we get to the tribe, we must have a good meal." Seeing that everyone's morale was a little low, Yan Zan also yelled and encouraged.

Yan Zan's tribe has recently been disturbed by drought, and a large number of horses, cattle and sheep have died, and now many people can no longer eat food.

The living conditions of the Hu people are harsh, and the bad climate always brings endless disasters to the nomads, especially drought and white plague (snow disaster), which pose a great threat to the survival of horses, cattle and sheep. In the event of a disaster, the nomads had to go south to their settled neighbours for relief.

The reason for this attack on Cloudsdale City was to carry out the orders of King Zuo Ren, but it was also their more important purpose to snatch some cattle and sheep food.

"Didn't the Zhao people send soldiers to pursue?" Seeing these infantry coming down from the mountain, Yan Zan also asked.

"When we came down, the south was still empty, and there was no one in the south." One of the leaders replied.

Hearing this, Yan Zan also nodded with a little disappointment, he waved his big hand, and said in a loud voice: "Go back to the tribe!" ”

Suddenly, six or seven hundred Hu soldiers followed him in a northwesterly direction, and out of the valley, a flat land overgrown with weeds, where there were occasional low hills and rivers, but most of them had dried up.

Brother Yan Zan, with cold eyes, led the centaur forward.

Not long after they left, Zhao Fan also rode a black war horse and galloped in the direction of Yishan.

The war horses of the cavalry of Yunzhong City are all from the Daidi and Sanhu regions, which are suitable for the growth of horses in the climate and geographical environment, and the war horses produced are also quite majestic, not inferior to the war horses of the Hu cavalry.

Of course, this is also because Cloudsdale is close to the Hu area, so there are so many good horses, and other areas are not so good.

"The whole army stopped advancing." The soldiers of Cloud City walked to the Yishan Pass, and Zhao Fan, who was the leader, stared ahead for a long time, and suddenly ordered loudly.

After giving the order, he also jumped off the horse, and then slowly walked forward, looking at the narrow road in the valley ahead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Hehe, this is it." ”

Those soldiers in Cloud City also looked puzzled when they saw Zhao Fan stop advancing and get off their horses, but their discipline has always been strict, although they couldn't understand the boss's intentions, but they still stood neatly in place.

Zhao Fan looked up at the steep and branchy Yishan, frowned slightly, turned his head and said, "Lin Hu, Zhang Zhi, you come here." ”

"What do you command, sir?"

Hearing this, the two also walked up and asked respectfully.

Before leaving, Li Feng ordered everyone, this sortie, by Zhao Fan throughout the command, although the relationship between the two of them is very good with the former, but now is the time of war, we must remain serious, and the moment is also a positive face.

"The two of you take a group of infantry up the mountain, try to familiarize yourself with the path and terrain on the mountain, and see if there is anything unusual. I'm worried that the Hu people just now are pretending to retreat and setting up an ambush here to stop us. ”

Zhao Fan pointed to the top of the mountain and said with some solemnity: "The terrain here is complicated, the road is narrow, if we go in, there are Hu people on the mountain, then the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Hearing this, Lin Hu and the others were stunned, but they quickly reacted, and they hugged their fists to receive the order.

"Let's take the more than forty soldiers who followed us from Xuzhuang to Cloudsdale City, they are hunters and are more familiar with the mountains than anyone else. Besides, if everything is normal on the mountain, you ......."

Zhao Fan's voice became smaller and smaller, until only Lin Hu and Zhang Zhi could hear it clearly, and after finishing speaking, he also smiled, and a cold light flashed across his face.

Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu brought an infantry from the rear and walked into the mountain, the figure quickly disappeared into the jungle, Zhao Fan turned over his horse, carried a spear, and watched the movement on the mountain tightly, and the other soldiers, when Zhao Fan did not come down to rest, did not dare to be careless.

"Sir, there is no half of a figure found on the mountain." Not long after, Lin Hu also appeared in front of Zhao Fan, he knelt on one knee and said.

"Okay, take my orders and enter the valley. The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, everyone hurry up, and after snatching back those shepherds, cattle and sheep, the county guard will be rewarded. Zhao Fan smiled slightly and said loudly.

Under the order of the commander, three hundred cavalry took the lead in entering the valley path, and after the five hundred infantry hall, everyone increased their speed and marched quickly forward.

Yang Yu was in the center of the team, looking coldly at Zhao Fan in front of him, he didn't know about Ye Fei and Hu Ren's plan, where Hu Ren would attack them, he didn't know, now, he could only pray that Hu Ren was coming, and Ye Fei's plan was successful.

Otherwise, when the time comes to return to Cloud City, Li Feng will definitely not let him go easily.
