Zhong Ziang and Shan Xiongfei fought inextricably.

On the other side, Xue Yi refused to defend the fortress to prevent Lin Yuan's Flying Bear Army from moving south.

After he occupied the Absolute Immortal Ridge, he adopted the turtle tactic, hung up the battle exemption card, and never went into battle.

In the beginning, this approach worked well.

The Flying Bear Army has been provoking for days, eating a lot of closed doors, and it is difficult for the army to advance an inch.

Yang Ye and other generals also repeatedly surveyed the terrain and began to send people to find shortcuts over the mountain.

Unfortunately, it also failed.

The mountains here are towering, steep and steep, stretching for hundreds of miles, and there is no way to go at all.

Absolute immortals, even immortals are rushing to despair!

The Absolute Immortal Ridge guarded by Xue Yi really seemed to be the only way to enter the middle of Dahong Mountain.

However, Lin Yuan was not worried, but happily explored resources in the north.

Because even if he consumes, he can afford it completely.

The green forests of Dahong Mountain are already short of food, they do not farm, they only rely on hunting and picking wild fruits in Dahong Mountain to survive, and life is tight on weekdays.

Now in wartime, they have to watch out for the Flying Bears, and they have imprisoned the people to prevent them from collecting food, and in doing so, the people have become a serious burden to them.

Millions of mouths have to eat every day, which makes their food problem even worse.

The food ration of Xue Yi's army has been reduced by half.

After Xue Yi found out, he immediately went to Zhong Ziang to urge food.

They took refuge in Zhong Ziang, and Zhong Chu could send people to transport grain.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Zhong Chu also experienced a food famine.

Every time Zhong Chu laid down a piece of land, he adopted the strategy of clearing the wall, concentrating the people in the city, leaving the large tracts of land outside to be wasted, and not growing food at all.

Before that, they could still rely on the food accumulated in the past to survive.

But not now, there is already a problem.

The people of Zhong Chu are about to go to famine.

They can't even take care of themselves, how can they have food to support the green forests of Dahong Mountain.

Therefore, Zhong Ziang just let Xue Yi solve it on his own.

Xue Yi had no choice but to give up the turtle tactics and send a part of the soldiers out of the village to pick up wild fruits in the mountains and forests.

When the Flying Bear attacked, he had to call back his soldiers to defend the village.

In this way, the food consumed on the light road exceeds the food gathered.

Xue Yi had no choice, so he began to release the imprisoned people and let the people go to collect food.

It's just that these people are now hungry.

The first thing the hungry people think about is to find food to feed themselves.

As for the green forest or something, no one cares.

Therefore, 700,000 people were released, and only 150,000 were able to come back.

A large number of people hid in the mountains and forests, and they did not want to return.

For this situation, Xue Yi has also considered it for a long time.

The people who fled into the mountains and forests did not flee indiscriminately.

Some people began to find a way to flee to the north, because they knew that there was a prince of the court in the north who would take them in.

Hundreds of thousands of people began to look for a way to cross the Absolute Immortal Ridge.

I have to say that more people is more power.

It was really found by this group of people that they had found a path and crossed to the north.

The sentinels of the Flying Bear Army found traces of the common people in a forest 30 miles west of the Absolute Immortal Ridge.

He took these people back to the barracks.

Under the questioning of Lin Yuan and others, they asked for the path at once.

It turned out that the path was a crack in the edge of the cliff and could only be used by one person.

On the one hand, Lin Yuan arranged for people to distribute food to these people, and on the other hand, he discussed with Yang Ye and others, and decided to divide his troops from the small road, detour to the rear of the Absolute Immortal Ridge, and attack back and forth, breaking through the Absolute Immortal Ridge in one fell swoop.

Lin Yuan decided to personally lead the troops and take the path.

However, his move immediately attracted the opposition of all the generals.

Wei Yan said: "My lord, this time to attack the rear, there are many dangers, and the path is difficult and dangerous, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, so it is better for the last general to personally lead the troops." ”

"Since I raised my army, have I ever been afraid of hardships and dangers?" Lin Yuan felt that there was nothing.

Wei Yan paused and continued: "The lord is not even afraid of the axe, of course he is not afraid of hardships and dangers! It's just that if you keep taking risks like this, what is the use of raising our group of generals! The Lord has trampled through all the dangers for us, and he will not make us ashamed to death! ”

"Yes, that's right!"

The rest of the generals all nodded.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that this group of generals had awakened a lot of self-consciousness.

If it had been placed in the past, Lin Yuan had said what to do, and the generals under his command would not have objected.

But now, there is already opposition to it.

Of course, this objection is for Lin Yuan's consideration, and it is a well-intentioned objection.

Lin Yuan was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, since all the generals think so, then this task will be handed over to you." I, together with the army, attack from the front! ”

"Yes!" The generals all nodded.

Immediately, under Yang Ye's arrangement, Wei Yan led 5,000 elites to cross the path and go around to the back of the Absolute Immortal Ridge to launch an attack.

He, along with other generals, led the army and attacked from the front.

Yang Ye also deliberately neglected Lin Yuan, and only arranged a task for him to lead the reserves.

The task of charging into battle was handed over to generals such as Xin Qiji and Lin Chong.

Lin Yuan could only agree.

On July 29, the 5,000 elites led by Wei Yan, led by the people who had escaped, traveled lightly and began to walk through the path from the cliff.

On July 30, the 5,000 elites led by him finally arrived safely on the opposite side.

Wei Yan ordered his soldiers to rest quickly, and six hours later, they made a surprise attack towards the rear of the Absolute Immortal Ridge.

In the Absolute Immortal Ridge Fortress, Xue Yi frowned.

The Flying Bear Army had not moved for several days, and he was very worried.

He immediately summoned Tanma and went out of the village to find out the movements of the Flying Bear Army.

After the horse went out, he came back very quickly.

"The great master, the army under the mountain, is silent in the camp, and the soldiers have a dinner, as if their grain and grass have arrived!"

"Humph!" When Xue Yi heard the word grain and grass, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

The Flying Bear Army has plenty of food and grass, but they are going to starve, and it is inevitable that there will be a trace of resistance in their hearts.

At this moment, one of his brothers suddenly said, "Big boss, the Flying Bear Army has enough food and grass, they will have dinner today, they must relax their vigilance, it is better for us to go to the camp tonight and rob their grain and grass, first, to suppress their arrogance, and second, to solve our food problem." ”

"Great idea!" Xue Yi's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he thought that this strategy was feasible, and immediately slapped his thigh and said, "That's it!" ”

Xue Yi's green forest immediately recuperated, and when it was evening, he was full of food and drink, and began to go down the mountain to rob the camp.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that the troops who went down the mountain to rob the camp encountered Xin Qiji and Lin Chong's vanguard battalions before they went down the mountain, and the two sides fought.

The morale of the green forest plummeted, and he fled back to the fortress of Xianling in a hurry.

Xue Yi's whole person was about to be angry to death.
