Chapter 3: Covert Exploration

There were several roads between the two armies, but in the middle they converged into three roads, which were the passes of several hills, and although there were paths on the hills, these paths were not suitable for the cavalry brigade to pass through.

Therefore, these three avenues are the only way for the search horse team sent by the Blue Leopard, of course, if the search sent by the Blue Leopard has infantry, it will be a different matter, and even if there is infantry among them, it is unlikely that they will take the mountain road at night.

Last time, before ambushing the 50,000 vanguard troops, Zhou Yunfeng had studied the terrain and environment, so he was so familiar with the surrounding environment.

In order to find the missing scout, the Blue Panther sent a team of five hundred people, and as Zhou Yunfeng expected, these five teams were all light cavalry.

The soldiers and horses sent by Long Hao to ambush in the three avenues watched the five teams of men and horses pass under their noses one after another, but they didn't make a move, but let them pass, but when they came back with the corpses they found, they were not so lucky, and they all left their lives.

Because the Fengyun Division lacked war horses, after taking their lives, their war horses were also taken away, and it can be said that there was nothing left except for the corpses in one place.

Before dawn, Zhou Yunfeng sent the 5,000 soldiers and horses who had rested for the night, and asked them to blockade a radius of five miles, and no one was allowed to approach.

The next day, Zhou Yunfeng was very calm, but Lan Huapeng couldn't be calm.

"Someone!" Lan Huapeng shouted after getting up and freshening up.

"Deputy Commander!" the man who walked in was none other than the Blue Panther.

"It's you Blue Leopard!I'm just about to have someone call you!" Lan Huapeng smiled and said, "Have you found those missing scouts?"

"That's what my subordinates are here for!" said the blue leopard, with a somewhat ugly face.

"Is there an accident?" Lan Huapeng looked at the blue leopard's face, feeling that something must have happened, and frowned and asked.

"Something happened! All of them died! And even the five hundred-strong team I sent out last night were all dead, on the three main roads ten miles away. Because they didn't come back all night, at dawn, their subordinates sent three commanders, two hundred people from the next generation, to look for them, and they had just returned!" replied the blue leopard truthfully.

"Found in a place?" Lan Huapeng said in a deep voice.

"No! there are all three main roads, but judging from the location and traces of the corpses on each main road, they should have been ambushed on the way back after finding the missing scout!" Lan Huapeng said.

"Did you send a scout out out today?" Lan Huapeng took two steps and turned around and asked.

"No, because things are strange, it needs to be decided by the deputy commander!" said the blue leopard.

"It seems that Zhou Yunfeng is very good at stealing chickens and dogs, and secretly playing tricks, even if we send a scout team out again, I'm afraid we will also be ambushed, unless we send a large team of people. But now the situation is unclear, and the team is not suitable for mobilization, so thirty elite scouts will be selected, one person and one team, not to take the avenue, but to pick up the mountain roads and trails, and find out what the hell is Zhou Yunfeng's kid doing?" Lan Huapeng thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes!" the blue leopard rolled his eyes and clenched his fists.

"Zhou Yunfeng, I'm getting more and more curious about you! I really want to see what kind of person you are?" After the blue leopard left, Lan Huapeng muttered to himself.

The day passed quickly, and only twenty-one of the thirty scouts sent out by the Blue Panther returned, and the other nine did not return until dark.

The blue leopard knew that these nine people, like those people yesterday, might not be able to come back.

"What area is the mission of the nine people who didn't come back?" Lan Huapeng asked, looking at the hanging map.

"Near Hare Ridge, about a five-mile radius!" the blue leopard replied.

"It seems that Zhou Yunfeng's army should be stationed in this place, but we still don't know how many people he brought out of the Dao Fengyun Division, if he brings them all out, it may be an opportunity for us!" Lan Huapeng was not angry about the loss of nine more scouts, but said pointedly.

"Now they are defending very tightly, ordinary scouts can't pass through, and I'm afraid the team is not suitable, I'm afraid they can only send martial king-level scouts in the army to have a chance. Blue Leopard said.

"Well, all the scouts who have reached the rank of Martial King and above in the general will be sent out, focusing on the reconnaissance of this area, and we must get the specific location and strength of the Fengyun Division early tomorrow morning!" Lan Huapeng commanded

There was nothing to say all night, and it was just dawn in the morning.

"Yun Feng, the brothers who were stationed outside last night killed two Martial King-level scouts, and three more brothers are missing!" Long Hao said to Zhou Yunfeng.

"There are three missing people, no one alive, no corpse dead?" Zhou Yunfeng said lightly.

"Yes, I think I was killed or captured by some of the other scouts last night. Long Hao nodded.

"It should have been killed! It's too troublesome to take it away, let the brothers look for it in the nearby mountains and forests, and try to find the body as much as possible!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

"Yes!" Long Hao nodded.

"Now Lan Huapeng should have a clear idea of our details, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still today, and ordered his brothers, leave a few sentry guards, and the others all retreat to the vicinity of the camp! There should be a battle to fight today!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"Yun Feng, we only have eight thousand light cavalry here, if their army comes to attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it!" Long Hao frowned.

"Don't worry! I've already arranged it! As long as they dare to come today, our reinforcements will also arrive!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

Knowing that Zhou Yunfeng had already made arrangements, Long Hao didn't ask any more, hugged Zhou Yunfeng, and then turned around to arrange things.

"Xiao Yan, please take a look!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled at Xiao Yan lying next to him: "If there is a large army in their camp and comes to us, you will come back immediately!"

"No problem, boss, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Yan stood up and promised.

"Go ahead!Be careful, don't be greedy!" Zhou Yunfeng touched Xiao Yan's head and said with a smile.

Xiao Yan gave Zhou Yunfeng a reassuring look, and then walked out of the camp tent in a flash, crossed a white light, and walked out of the camp, and no one in the camp found it leaving.

"Lan Huapeng, you are also a veteran of the battlefield, I hope you don't let me down!" Zhou Yunfeng looked outside the Cong Ying tent and said with a smile

"What's the situation, is there any news?" As soon as the morning dawned, Lan Huapeng found the blue leopard and asked eagerly.

"Yes, but we lost two scouts!" replied the Blue Panther.

"It seems that they are really well defended!What is the result?" Lan Huapeng frowned.

"They are stationed at the foot of Hare Ridge Mountain, and there is only one 10,000 ** team, the commander of the 10,000 team is Long Hao, and the division commander of the Fengyun Division, Zhou Yunfeng, is also among them. Blue Leopard said.

"Long Hao, Long Qingshan's only son, Long Hao?" Lan Huapeng asked.

"That's right! It's him, he was originally a commander of the first division of the Blue Dragon Legion, but because he followed Zhou Yunfeng to bypass the Snake King City to attack the six cities, and the Fengyun Division was formed later, he was transferred to the Fengyun Division by Zhou Xiaojun. Along with him, there were two commanders who were transferred from the Blue Dragon Legion to the Fengyun Division, namely Zhou Yunlong and Bai Shan!" said the Blue Leopard.

"And Zhou Yunlong, if I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yunlong should be Zhou Xiaojun's eldest son! It seems that although their Fengyun Division has just been established, there are really a lot of people with big backgrounds!" Lan Huapeng said with a smile.

"Deputy Commander, what should I do now?Do I need to send someone to wipe out this 10,000 ** team and Zhou Yunfeng?", the blue leopard asked.

Judging from Zhou Yunfeng's process of winning the Five Cities, this person is not only good at sneak attacks, but also extremely cunning, we have to deal with it carefully!" Lan Huapeng shook his head.

"Then do you still send scouts out of Lu today?" Seeing that Lan Huapeng had no intention of making a move, the blue leopard asked.

After the returned Martial King-level scouts rested for an hour, they also sent out Lu, and they had two missions to go out, one was to check the movements of Zhou Yunfeng and his 10,000-strong ** team, and the other was to ensure the safety of the other scout teams! Lan Huapeng said in a deep voice.

"One light and one dark, I should find out more things!I'll arrange it right away!" the blue leopard nodded.

"Go, brothers, be careful!" said the blue panther.

Soon a day passed, this day Lan Huapeng did not make any movement except for sending scouts, and Zhou Yunfeng also did not move, the team that was originally going to send Lu to intercept and kill the scouts did not go out again, but instead gathered his forces back.

Looking at the scouts of the day, I returned to the camp before dark, and at the same time brought back the same news as in the early morning, more than any soldiers and horses came in the direction of Taniguchi City, even the two ten thousand ** teams in Taniguchi have not changed.

"Deputy Commander, now that the situation is clear, there is only one 10,000-strong team there, and there are no soldiers and horses transferred from Taniguchi City. I think Zhou Yunfeng couldn't find the north because he won a few battles, and he actually wanted to use a 10,000-strong team to fight with our 200,000-strong army, which is simply not only the sky and the earth is thick! After all, he is a young man!"

"I'm still a little uneasy, I always feel that Zhou Yunfeng must have a conspiracy!" Lan Huapeng shook his head.

"The Deputy Legion Commander may be right, and his worries are justified, but we are running out of time, if we don't get through Taniguchi Castle as soon as possible, and then arrive at Snake King City. Once the Snake King City is broken, the Viper Legion will inevitably be lost, and then we will lose the meaning of being here!" Seeing that Lan Huapeng was a little hesitant, the blue leopard reminded.

"Okay! If the Viper Legion is really destroyed, I'm afraid not only will we be unsuccessful this time, but the Yun family will also be angry with us at that time!" Lan Huapeng sighed and said.

"For the sake of safety! Blue Leopard, early tomorrow morning, you will personally lead the team, lead two light cavalry 10,000 ** teams, and rush to Zhou Yunfeng's camp. Fight quickly, be sure to get rid of the people there as quickly as possible! If there are reinforcements in Taniguchi City, don't fall in love with the battle, and retreat immediately!" Lan Huapeng's face turned pale, and he ordered.

"Yes!" said the blue leopard with a fist clenched
