Chapter 559: Ghost Fire

"This was developed by my father himself, because of the scarcity of raw materials, only the forward battalion was equipped."

"This kind of horseshoe set is still very effective for those who are good at fighting on horses and can judge the distance of their opponents by listening to the sound of hooves."

No wonder they were so sure of this trip, it turned out that they had moved out all the secret weapons and used them.

I stretched out my thumb and said that the general was really clever, but I knew in my heart that how things would develop in the future would depend on me and Daoist Long.

After a while, when all the military horses in front of us passed, it was our turn to be at the end of the line, because there were two people on my horse, so I would not be parallel to the Dragon Daoist, for fear that something would happen in a while.

The two horses rode on the cliff face one after the other, and as the altitude climbed, the sound of the river below gradually became inaudible.

Just when I thought I was going to ride on this steep rock face all the time, there was a big turn ahead, and the road turned straight to the right, stretching into the belly of the mountain.

This is a little unexpected, the continuous mountain wall suddenly cracked a big gap, and the road folded along the opening.

This road seems to have been cut out of the belly of the mountain by some sharp weapon, which is very abrupt, but if there is such a sharp weapon, how big it must be.

I quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea, even if I gave you a weapon that could split mountains, it would be the same thing to move it.

Perhaps only the mythical powers of legend can accomplish such an feat, and mortals don't even think about it.

In fact, the only ones who were surprised were me and the dirty Taoist, and Guo Lianyue in her arms didn't have a strange expression, it seemed that she had been here before.

When they turned into the belly of the mountain, the road became wide again, and began to descend again, and the people had to tighten the reins so that the horses would not lose control and cause tragedy.

Now there are mountain walls on both sides, and we all seem to be caught in the middle, giving people a cramped feeling.

The dirty Taoist priest walked over the horse's head, walked up, pointed to the mountain wall next to him and said, "Hey, Bing Shao, look at the mountain walls on both sides, don't they seem to have been cut out directly by some sharp weapon?" ”

"If it was a natural formation, it would never be so smooth, at least there would be a ditch and a ravine, this place is a bit interesting."

Before I could speak, Guo Lianyue pouted, "I don't know!" There are many places where nature works wonderfully, but you haven't seen it before. ”

"It's not natural, could it be that someone chopped it out with a knife, hey, take advantage, you have something to say."

The two of them quarreled with me, but I was involved, so I had to reply, "It's hard to say this, I think what you two said makes sense." ”

"Cut!" The two of them shook their eyes at the same time with contempt.

I was about to say something more, but suddenly the horses in front of me stopped, and the sergeants all rolled over and dismounted, bowed down, and entered into battle.

I gave the dirty Taoist priest a look, and by the way, I put down Miss Guo in my arms, and jumped down myself.

It didn't take long for one person to be squeezed out of the sergeants in front, it was General Li Ci.

He opened his mouth to report, "Report to the county lord, the front of the team is the enemy camp, it looks like there are about 200 people, but the guards are not very tight, most of them are sleeping. ”

"We are going to send someone to touch it in now, and kill those night guard posts, so that we can successfully annihilate the remaining enemies."

Guo Lianyue glanced ahead, there was a faint firelight in the distance, it should be the enemy's campfire, because the distance was too far, and there were many horses in front, so it was not very refreshing to see.

"How sure are you?"

Li Wei arched his hand and said, "Back to the county lord, the people we picked are all elites, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

The dirty Taoist priest stepped forward, "Such an interesting action, don't you mind adding two more people, right?" He glanced at me.

After Li Wei glanced at us, he said, "This task is still left to us experienced soldiers to do, the two of you are just catching a demon, in fact, ......"

Guo Lianyue sneered, "Do you think these two masters' kung fu is very weak, hmph, it's because you didn't go to the mansion, otherwise you wouldn't have said such uninformed words, I'm in charge, let's go together!" ”

I glared at her, "You can't go!" ”

"Why?" Guo Lianyue turned her head and put on a pitiful look, and this Nizi changed her form again.

"Because the Supreme Commander can't participate in this kind of raid mission, the army should have such a rule, General Li Ci?" I don't know if there is, I just don't want her to risk it.

Fortunately, Li Wei's kid reacted quickly, and said, "That's right, there are such regulations!" ”

When Guo Lianyue was still a little confused, a few of us squeezed into the crowd in front of us and moved towards the enemy camp.

Soon the three of them came to the front of the line, and the situation below was finally clear.

The road ahead is a steep downward slope, and if you are riding a war horse, it is difficult to control the speed, and even if you use the special hoof set designed by General Guo, it will still make a loud noise.

This was a natural early warning system, and further down was a valley where the tents of the Golden people were built.

As far as the eye can see, tents are connected together, and from time to time there are several campfires, both for heating and lighting, interspersed with several patrolling soldiers.

The most conspicuous thing was a huge green fire in the center of the camp, which reflected the entire valley in a miserable green.

It was a circle of round gravel with the skulls of various animals, from which green flames floated.

The dirty Taoist priest glanced at me, "Bing Shao, this green fire is very evil, and the ghost aura is very heavy, I have a feeling that the old ghost woman made it, maybe she is nearby." ”

At the mention of the old ghost woman, I immediately became nervous, that guy is a powerful character, if you meet here, the situation will be quite dangerous.

"What I'm most worried about is that if we dive down now, I'm afraid that this ghost fire will be alarmed, and then it will be exposed." The dirty Taoist priest showed a very worried face.

I shook my head, "No, you see that the ghost fire swings irregularly, which means that no one is controlling it, or the person who is controlling it is not in front of you, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Hey? I started talking to myself again, but apparently the dirty Taoist priest agreed with this point of view, and the expression on his face was not as nervous as it was just now.

"Let's get started, it should be fine down there, right?" The green ghost fire obviously frightened General Li Ci as well, and he didn't ask for our opinion until this moment.

I pointed down, and a group of well-dressed men in black emerged from the crowd behind, their clothes bulging inside, apparently carrying a lot of things.
