After Shen Mu saw the terrain of Grandma Ridge, he gasped.

This Grandma Ridge is not high, and there is only a narrow valley to enter the Grandma Ridge, which can be slowly walked by three people side by side. On both sides are rocky walls and high mountains, like a knife cutting, there is no way to stand. The two mountains that enter the valley are like a gate that does not close, leaving a narrow valley. To the left and right of the two mountains are bottomless cliff rivers with a meandering river at the bottom.

After walking through this valley of nearly 100 zhang, there is a slope that can climb the peak of Grandma Ridge.

After the Grandma Ridge is the swamp that stretches for dozens of miles. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see a pool of clear water in the swamp, full of tall weeds and thorns. Above the swamp, a pale white mist shrouded in a black-gray miasma.

If you want to go to Grandma Ridge, this Baizhang Valley is the only way to go!

This terrain corresponds to the sentence of "The Art of War": Those who are in danger, I will live first, and I will live in Gaoyang to wait for the enemy; If the enemy lives first, lead him away, and do not obey him.

But I don't know which "big fish" Tsing Yi Fang wants to catch with this terrain! Everyone knows that this is the death place of the soldiers, and unless the leader of the soldiers is a fool, no one will rush into the valley. Tsing Yi Fang chose to ambush here, did he really regard the opponent as a fool?

As soon as the officers and men said they had arrived, around noon, the east road was dusty, the battle flags covered the sky, the horses' hooves were trampling on the earth, and the loose rocks on the rocks that had been shaken were rolling down with a puff of dust and smoke.

The 2,000 feudal town army of Wuyang came in a mighty and mighty way. The leader Shen Mu is very familiar with it, it is Murong Hui's partial general Yan Shun.

Why did this come here, don't come in, don't come in...... Shen Mu watched Yan Shun lead the army slowly coming, and couldn't help but meditate in his heart. Now Shen Mu probably understands why Yin Yue wants to take him to see Avril first, it's very simple, before the big battle, tell yourself that the lives of your friends around you depend on your performance.

No matter how anxious Shen Mu was, he couldn't stand up and tell Yan Shun, who was marching down the mountain, so he had to be secretly anxious.

On the opposite top of the mountain, there is the righteous Qimen brothers led by Duan Chao and Huang Tailei's brotherhood, and Yingyue is also among them. And on the top of the mountain here is a team of more than 200 people led by Yin Yue.

Tsing Yi Fang made such an arrangement, and its intention is unclear.

When the army marched to the front of the Grandma Ridge, Yan Shun waved his hand to stop the march of the front army.

The army was divided into three teams, the front, the middle and the rear, the front army was mostly cavalry, the squadron was dominated by crossbowmen, and the rear team was an infantry phalanx and a small number of cavalry.

The three teams stopped neatly, with clear layers and solemn military appearances!

Obviously, Yan Shun also knew the situation on the road ahead. If there is an ambush here, it will be difficult to capture even thousands of troops.

If a pass is set up at the entrance, it will be even more difficult to open!

Yan Shun listened to the military horse, raised his voice to call two light horsemen, and ordered: "Explore the way, the crossbowmen are ready!"

The two light horsemen rode their horses and whipped into the valley. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the squadron "swished", slapped into three rows, stretched their bows and arrows, and waited for the enemy.

The light horse ran around the valley, and then ran out of the valley, and reported in a loud voice: "General, no abnormality was found." ”

Yan Shun said: "Explore again! Go around the mountain, take the flag as the number!"

Shen Mu was lying on the top of the mountain, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but praise: This Yan Shun has two brushes, and being cautious is the way to go!

The light ride went around the slope in a blink of an eye, and went up the hill left and right in a blink of an eye. The mountain was covered with grass, and the knight was so skilled that he could walk through the rocks and weeds as if he were walking on the ground.

Seeing that he was about to break into the ambush circle of Tsing Yi Fang, there was not much time left for Tsing Yi Fang, once he was discovered, then there would be no need to fight this battle.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the rear army of Xishan Road, and Ying Yue led forty or fifty Tsing Yi Fang people into the infantry phalanx.

They came very quickly, and the crossbowmen had focused their attention on the Grandma Ridge, and when they turned around, the two sides were already close to each other, and it was too late to release the arrows.

Yan Shun might as well have someone sneak attack in the rear army, waved his sword, and said loudly: "One team rides on the left side to support, and the third team breaks the back road, and all the enemies are annihilated!"

Invite Yue made people rush to kill, the sword in her hand slashed several people in a row, and when she saw the cavalry coming, she shouted "retreat" repeatedly.

The people of Tsing Yi Fang listened to the order, and when the cavalry had not yet closed the siege, they fought their way out of a bloody way and fled straight to the sheep intestine path in the east.

Yan Shunli saw it on his horse, and commanded: "The rear army stops, and the bow and crossbow are ready...... Put!"

When the words fell, there was a sound of "chirping" breaking through the air, and hundreds of arrows pierced the air with air waves and flew in the direction of Tsing Yifang's escape.

What kind of body is Invite Yue, seeing the feather arrow coming, the long sword shook, "ding" a few times, and opened a few arrows. With a slippery body, he helped a slippery gang block the arrow.

The frightened faces of the crowd turned pale, and they got up, only thanking their aunt for saving their lives.

Shen Mu remembered that Long Ze had said that Invite Yue was the realm of Taoist cultivation and mortal cultivation, and with the law of mortals, how could she hurt her in the slightest. Fortunately, she strictly followed the rules and didn't hurt people with Dao Qi, otherwise, if the three of them joined forces, what kind of trap would they use!

Yan Shun saw that there were such "martial arts" among the thieves, and secretly praised it. I thought that if it was me, I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape this round of arrow rain.

Yan Shun commanded two teams of infantry and cavalry, a total of 400 people, to pursue, and led the army to wait for the light cavalry to explore the way.

The two light horsemen were disturbed by Invite Yue and the others, and slowed down their horses. At this time, the horse walked slowly, and with every step, Shen Mu's heart "poofed" a little, feeling that the heart was no longer under his control, but beating with the rhythm of the horse's hooves.

Everyone didn't dare to come out, and tried to bend down as much as possible. Shen Mu didn't dare to move at will, after all, the situation was unclear now, and he hadn't informed Duan Chao and the others in advance, in case he connected with the officers and soldiers. The brothers of the righteous valve fought indiscriminately, and the casualties must have been heavy.

But I heard another shout of killing under the mountain, and a team suddenly came out from the slope of the valley mouth.

Shen Mu was taken aback, most of the people from Tsing Yi Fang and the Brotherhood Alliance were obviously on the top of the mountains on both sides, and the dozens of people led by Ying Yue were already the sum of the number of the three families. It is said that it is already the limit to be able to make up these five or six hundred people, but I don't know where this team jumped out?

But I saw that there were about 300 people in that team, all of them wearing armor and holding swords. That armor style Shen Mu saw for the first time, both the material and the shape were different from what Shen Mu had seen before.

But Yan Shun, who listened to it, shouted: "It's not good, it's Nansang ambush." The troops listened to the order and set up to meet the enemy!"

Immediately the cavalry was in front, and the infantry and crossbows crossed formations, ready to meet the onslaught of the three hundred.

The bows and crossbows fired in a volley, and half of the 300 men were killed by arrows before they could leave the valley.

Seeing that they couldn't rush out, the rest of the people hurriedly retreated, and shot the two light horsemen by the way.

Yan Shun saw that the Nansang army had retreated into the valley and did not pursue, so he ordered the army to stop and hold on to the spot.

At this time, the officers and soldiers who pursued and killed Ying Yue and others also returned to the formation.

Shen Mu was in a high place, and he couldn't help but admire Yan Shun's use of troops.

Yan Shun held the valley mouth and was not in a hurry to attack. In his opinion, there must be an ambush in this. The Ninghai Prefecture Army and the Central Army were annihilated in Qingping, and they must have been ambushed. When you don't know how many people there are on the other side, you can't act rashly and repeat the mistakes of the past!

Grandma Ridge is a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But why attack? You only need to hold the mouth of the valley for two or three days, and the people on the mountain will definitely not be able to endure it.

A big war is not simply a competition of who has the most people, who has the greatest strength, and who is more able to fight alone! It is more about endurance, courage, food, grass, and support.

He was not afraid of the thieves retreating, because there was only the swamp behind the mountain. It seems that few people can get out of the swamp that is nearly a hundred miles away.

Shen Mu saw that the officers and soldiers set up camp on the spot and went down to the village to deploy defense matters. With doubts in his heart, he asked Yin Yue on the side softly: "The officers and soldiers are not hit, so let's just wait?"

Yin Yue smiled but did not speak, she quietly leaned against a bare rock, hiding her body.

Shen Mu felt bored, and looked around boredly.

Yin Yue suddenly said, "Shen Mu, are you afraid of death?"

Shen Mu frowned and said, "I'...... Who in this world is not afraid of death? But I have a very good life, and I often can't die!"

Yin Yue muttered: "There are still people who are not afraid of death......"

Shen Mu didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, and she was at a loss for a while.

After Yin Yue said this, she fell silent.

Time flowed bit by bit, and in the evening, a team of people came on the official road. Looking at the battle, there should be no less than 2,000 men and horses.

Yin Yue looked at it, and couldn't help but not worry, but had a happy look on her face.

Yan Shun was arranging patrol matters, and the sentry came to report, and the old prince Murong personally led the troops to come.

Yan Shun hurriedly led his subordinates out of the barracks.

Murong Huan got off his horse, looked around Yan Shun's camp, and said with a smile: "Yan Shun, your means of camping have increased by one point!"

Yan Shun said respectfully: "The last general will strictly follow the teachings of the prince, and dare not slack off at any time!"

Murong Huan said, "That's good...... Not bad. Tell me what's going on?"

Yan Shun led Murong Huan into the big tent, and reported everything that happened before as he walked.

After hearing this, Murong Huan sat down on the handsome seat first, took off his helmet and said, "You mean to say that there is a Nansang army here?"

Yan Shun said: "Looking at the equipment, there is no doubt that it should be the Nansang Army!"

Murong Huan said: "The old gentleman is right, Nansang has already planned, since Hui'er was attacked, this king should be more vigilant. I don't want to be infiltrated by them, so many people!

Yan Shun said: "Lord Ninghai Guo said that the other party may be Tsing Yi Fang!"

Murong Huan sighed: "Tsing Yi Fang? is it one of the four major villages? These local officials, who have tried to raise their own respect, can only ask for hardships now! In this way, with the assistance of the local gangs, it is not surprising that the Nansang army can penetrate the Xishan Road. Have you ever found out how many of them are?"

Yan Shun said: "The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and the general is afraid of an ambush and does not dare to act rashly, so he has not been able to find out the truth and truth, please ask the prince to surrender!"

Murong Huan said: "It's already rare to be able to set your mind to judge the situation, what a crime! Find a map, this king will take a look at the terrain here......"
