In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Cong's five tooth soldiers led their horses to the 11th battalion to report, and Xu Chongmo assigned them to the first regiment, and each received a military uniform to report for duty.

The brigade commanders, team commanders, and fire commanders of Xiao Yan's first regiment have been appointed separately, although these five tooth soldiers are experienced veterans, but the battalion has only issued an appointment and it is taboo to replace people, and the five people entered the camp as ordinary sergeants, and they were organized as a fire with a shortage of personnel, and Ma Yongzhong, the head of the five, was the fire commander. These five people are all familiar with the personnel rules of the army, and they have no objection to this arrangement, as long as they have the ability, they will be promoted sooner or later.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yan led the cavalry regiment out of the camp and began a ten-day alpine training.

The place of training was the Qingjia Mountains, and it was more than 200 miles west to the camp of the Jingnan Army, and the cavalry galloped all the way out of the camp, and according to the regulations, they had to arrive at the foot of the mountain at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Yan's cavalry regiment is all light cavalry, people wear leather armor, horses are not covered with armor, galloping can run a hundred miles in the next hour, galloping all the way through the grassland, bypassing large and small lakes, and arriving at the Qingjia Mountains at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Yan gave an order, and the cavalry dismounted, formed a team, divided the fire to detect the camp, set up tents, built fortifications, and looked for water, fire, and food...... These are all taught during recruit training, but only after field practice will they become their own skills.

The cavalry regiment set out without any food, and relied on "self-sufficiency" to train the ability to supply food on the spot in case of war.

The Qingjia Mountains are vast, it is the southern branch of the Kunlun Mountains, it stretches for a thousand miles from east to west, the west is the barrier between the Anxi Protectorate and Tubo, the east is oblique into the sea, Jingerzhou, the mountain range in Jingzhou is about three hundred miles long, the north and south are eighty miles wide, from the mountainside above are the snow that does not melt all year round, and there are glaciers, but from the mountainside down there are green trees covering, all kinds of wild beasts living in the woods, which will be the food for the cavalry after going up the mountain. There are many lakes under the mountain, there are freshwater lakes under the mountains to the south and east, there are many fish in the lakes, and there are large meadows under the mountains, although the grass color has turned yellow in the cold weather in August, and the herbivores are not as prosperous as in spring and summer, but there are still animals that wander in them to feed...... Now it has become the food "gathered" by the cavalry.

The cavalry has received supply training in the cold land before leaving the camp, and the instructor has taught what food is edible, the collection and identification methods of various grass foods, how to quickly fish, hunt, etc., there is a complete set of food guides, and the same as the art of war volume, which belongs to the military control books, recruits can only remember according to the instructor's explanation and drawing, and the guide book with drawings cannot be seen, of course, it is useless to see - the recruits are very literate. But Xiao Ji has this illustrated guide, and Xiao Yan memorized it after reading it twice with the foundation of memorizing the herb collection. She rode around on horseback, and when she met the cavalry that had been collected, she stepped forward to identify the food, which was edible and what was not, and at the same time she consolidated and guided the soldiers, and admired her erudition.

Xiao Yan also brought a small notebook with him, and used charcoal to record from time to time. The so-called homology of medicine and food, these tubers and grasses are food, and they may also be curative drugs. She heard Shen Qingyi say that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the herbs, and under different terrains and climates, there may be herbs that are not found elsewhere but have unique curative effects, Xiao Yan thought about recording them, which would not only be useful for her march, but also useful for Shen Qingyi to enrich the collection of herbs in the future.

Makeshift camps and fortifications were quickly erected, and cavalry in groups looking for food returned one after another, and the teams began to bury pots and cook in groups of fire.

After lunch, spend the afternoon on the meadow practicing riding, sprinting, interspersing, changing left and right side rides, etc. The big meadow at the foot of the mountain is vast, much wider than the training ground, and the cavalry gallops very heartily, but the terrain here is higher than the Jingnan Army garrison, and after dozens of rounds of sprinting back and forth, many people are blushing and their necks are thick.

Stayed in a makeshift camp that night, and the next day's training was still down the hill. In the early morning, I went out to run around the lake with 50 pounds of weight, 60 breaths and 120 push-ups three times, and then got on the horse to train horse marksmanship, except for Ma Yongzhong and other five veterans who used horse lances, the other cavalry used wooden guns. The horse lance is the equipment of the elite cavalry, because it takes three years to make a horse lance, which is as expensive as the cost of the Mo knife, so it is not the standard configuration of the cavalry, and the horse lance is several times heavier than the gun, and it cannot be wielded without strength, and it is impossible for the cavalry regiment to be formed with this high-end weapon. However, there are a few cavalrymen who use white pole guns, and the barrels of the guns are made of white vinegar wood, which are more flexible and bendable than hardwood wooden guns, so the strength of the charge is not as strong as that of wooden guns, and it must be mastered by making good gun skills - Guo Houze and An Yexi are among the best.

Guo Houze's marksmanship is understandable, after all, his ancestor Taiyuan Guo is a famous military general, although Guo Houze's Guo family has moved west, but it is also possible that the marksmanship is inherited from the ancestors. In comparison, An Yexi, who was born in a wealthy Sogdian merchant, makes it quite puzzling to have good marksmanship. However, everyone has secrets, Xiao Yan has no intention of detecting it, as long as it is beneficial to the cavalry regiment.

On the third day, the cavalry detachment was trained, and the mountain was still a large team, training horse warfare and cavalry formations, and at the same time taking care of the camp and war horses.

The cavalry who went up the mountain for training was fully armed, wearing leather armor, wearing a helmet, wearing a horizontal knife on the left waist, an arrow pot on the right, carrying a bow on the shoulder, carrying a 30-pound quilt bag (backpack), which contained the cavalry's individual tents, felt blankets and other sleeping utensils, and two snowboards for snow walking were hung behind the quilt bag, and the feet were wearing nail-toothed wooden legging boots, and the waist was tied with a knotted rope, and the whole body weighed more than 50 catties. They have to carry this weight to climb the steep rock wall from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, then climb the 1,500 zhang (4,500 meters) snow peak, cross the glacier, do ice cliff climbing training, self-rescue training after falling into the ice lake, and descend from the northeast side of the snow-capped mountain the next day. The peaks are cold, and the temperature difference at night is even greater, and soldiers must dig snow holes on the upwind slopes for the night, and those who dig the snow holes unwell may freeze to death at night, or be crushed by the collapsed snow holes, and the unlucky ones may fall into the ice crevices, and at worst, they may encounter sudden avalanches. It is said that the Jingnan Army has died every year in the training in the snow-capped mountains, including veterans, but the tenacity of the soldiers is honed in this training in the cold and death places.

Xiao Yan instructed Guo Houze, Ma Yongzhong, Xiao Quanfu, Liu Dashi, and Qin Sishui to act with a fire, mainly responsible for saving people in a sudden crisis.

At the western foot of the mountain where the cavalry regiment was encamped, there was a cliff wall that was 100 zhang wide, about sixty or seventy zhang high, and was as steep as a knife, and the cavalry had to climb the cliff from here. The firefighters who went up the mountain first lowered the climbing rope, and the five firefighters climbed up one after another. Hunting overnight prey in the trees in the mountains, their task is to hunt brown bears, tigers or wolves, and it is expected that they can not hunt other non-predators within the specified time, of course, the assessment score is relatively reduced.

Xiao Yan squatted on the trunk of the tree, nibbling on the roast meat left over from last night with the water of the sheepskin sac. After cooking after the hunt of the mountaineering team, he tiptoed up the mountain behind them.

The further up the hill we go, the more sparse the trees become, and by the time we reach the mountainside there is not much greenery, except for the occasional pine and spruce trees, and the rest of the place is white and the black walls jutting out of the snow.

This is already a thousand feet of high ground.

The cavalry untied the snowboard and tied it to the sole of the boots, untied the rope around the waist and the quilt bag on the back, and tied it to the quilt bag with the rope and dragged it on the snow, which was not only to save the body, but also to prevent suddenly falling into the ice gap - the rope was tied with a knot, and when the rope dragged the thirty-pound quilt bag on the snow rapidly, the knot would be pulled into the snow to make people stop falling, which was the experience of climbing the snow-capped mountains drawn by the life of the Jingnan army.

The five fiery soldiers walked their way, moving like eleven or twelve black dots on the vast snow.

The high and cold snow-capped mountains make people feel small.

This is really a good place to hone your will, Xiao Yan said in his heart.

The insignificance under the snow-capped mountains is different from the insignificance in the desert, and there is also a kind of pressure, because the overwhelming pressure of the high mountains makes people want to kneel down and worship. Xiao Yan remembered what his mother said, the pursuit of martial arts is to fight with heaven and earth. She turned south and looked at the highest snow-capped peak in the Qingjia Mountains, which was the Gangzha Peak on the border with Tibet...... She'd step over the mountain, she thought to herself, raised her eyebrows, and turned her head to look northeast.

She heard a long howl.

The whistling was far away, and all she could hear was a faint sound.

But the sound was so penetrating that even though it might be miles away, it gave her the feeling of breaking through the sky and through the clouds.

Her face changed.

This is the master! Definitely a master!

Then she heard another shout, too far away to hear it, followed by another whistling.

Xiao Yan raised her breath and swept over there, and after a mile or two, she heard the sound of fighting, about a mile away, she held the bow in her hand, set up the bowstring, and swept out seventy or eighty zhang over there, and vaguely saw two figures fighting on the black mountain wall protruding from the snow.

She only took a breath after only two moves, and paused to retreat.

The masters of the Cave Truth Realm fight, and she can't afford to provoke them.

But when she saw one of the figures sweeping towards her, Xiao Yan heard a voice in her ear: [Xiao Yuezhi, I am the King of Jin! Quickly return to the camp to inform Xiao Yu and send the general to rescue - the county lord of Qingchuan was chased and killed in the later stage of the real realm of the monk cave and has gone west of the mountain range. 】

Xiao Yan's face changed suddenly, he stepped on the snow and took off, dodging the sudden slap from King Jin's opponent in the air, turned around and ran fast, and after running out of the three-mile field, he raised his voice and shouted: "Emergency order, all fires immediately retreat down the mountain!" Mistaken, slash! ”

She swept over to find Ma Yongzhong's fire, took out the regiment leader token and threw it to Ma Yongzhong, and ordered in a fast tone: "You hurry back to the camp, report to Captain Xu, and ask General Xiao to send a general to the Qingjia Mountains." ”

Everyone's faces changed, General Wu Cai, that is a master of the Cave True Realm!

Xiao Yan followed the transmission to Ma Yongzhong: [The county lord of Qingchuan was chased and killed in the late stage of the Tubo Cave True Realm, and is currently going to the west of the mountain range, and the King of Jin was dragged by the enemy of the Cave True Realm and could not be rescued. 】

Ma Yongzhong's face darkened, and he didn't say a word, he made a military salute neatly, then supported the ground with a wooden stick in his hand, and flew down the mountain on a snowboard.

Xiao Yan followed the order of the fire chief of this fire: "Pass my order, after going down the mountain, gather all the people and horses, and return to the camp immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

The fire chief saluted, "Yes, Captain." "The Dongzhen Realm masters are not joking, how far they can hide, especially in the snowy mountains, if they cause an avalanche, they will be miserable.

Xiao Yan dropped a sentence, "I'll go to the west of the Qingjia Mountains", and the people were already dozens of feet away.

The fire chief gave her a worried look and waved his hand, "Go down the mountain." "Lead the soldiers of the fire down the hill.

Xiao Yan was worried, if the county lord of Qingchuan was killed in the Jingnan army station, it would be bad, the Jingnan army, the Xiao family and Hexi would all be shaken, and it was not one or two people who were unlucky, at least the position of the seventh aunt's military lord could not be kept, how to reduce the guilt or two words.

With her current realm, of course, she didn't think that she could resist the late stage of a cave true realm, and she didn't have time to think about how the Tubo people knew that the county lord of Qingchuan was already a cave true realm, and she just wanted to rush over and act at the opportunity, and one more person always had more strength.

The quilt bag on her back had already been thrown away by her, and she broke a branch in her hand, and with the help of the snow, she rushed to the west.

After running for dozens of miles, she saw traces of a fight in front of her, so she followed the traces and swept out another twenty or thirty miles, and heard shouts from the northeast.

It's the Cave Realm again?!

Xiao Yan recognized that the monk was dressed as a Tibetan monk, and immediately raised his anger and said to the blue-robed man: "I am Xiao Seventeen of the Duke of Liangguo. General Wu Qi will come over immediately, may I ask where the county lord has gone? ”

The man glanced back in the fierce fight, slapped a palm and retreated, and took the opportunity to speak: "Go to the southwest direction!" ”

The red-robed monk had already pressed forward, and the man had no time to speak.

Xiao Yan swept away and headed southwest.

It had only snowed on the mountain last night, and the snow was very thick and soft, Xiao Yan was only glad that there was no snow in God, otherwise she would not be able to see a round hole every dozens of zhang - it was clearly a hole poked by a stick when it borrowed its strength.

Although the master of the Cave True Realm can step on the snow without a trace, it is always easier to have a fulcrum than to sweep on the soft snow, and the speed is faster - Xiao Yan feels that if she is the county lord of Qingchuan, she will definitely not use the snow without a trace to get rid of the pursuit of a master whose realm is obviously higher than herself, and she can't fight for the consumption of internal strength! The gap between the early stage of the Cave Realm and the later stage of the Cave Realm is very large, and it is impossible to fight for internal strength beyond the level.

If she is the county lord of Qingchuan, Xiao Yan thinks in her heart while pursuing, facing a master who is not capable of the enemy, then she can only and must outwit it, in the environment of the Qingjia Mountains, it is actually still advantageous, because the terrain is treacherous and changeable.

Xiao Yan traced the flickering traces for more than ten miles, passed through a two-foot-wide ice gap, and saw that the snow on both sides had traces of collapse, and judged that the county lord of Qingchuan should have fought the enemy here, and there were blood stains on the edge of the ice gap.

She followed the bloodstains, and after sweeping seventeen or eighteen miles, she saw that a black cliff protruding from the snow in front of her was broken in half, and there was another ice gap under the cliff, which was three or four feet wide, and there was no bottom in sight.

Blood was dripping from the snow at the edge of the ice crevice.

Xiao Yan frowned at the bloodstains, and thought: Did the Qingchuan County Lord continue to move forward, or did he fall into the ice gap?

There are no traces of a battle here, and I want to come to this place and be caught up by the other party.

If she is the lord of Qingchuan, will she continue to flee forward, or will she fall into this bottomless ice crevice and hide?

Xiao Yan thought only for a moment, then untied the mountaineering rope at his waist, held the head of the iron claw rope in his hand, and flew to jump under the ice gap.

The sound of the whirring wind passed through my ears.

When Xiao Yan fell about thirty feet, she grabbed the ice wall with a grappling hook, and the internal force focused her eyes, and she looked carefully up and down the ice wall on both sides for a while, and found no abnormality, so she continued to fall.

She fell down ten feet and ten feet, hooked into the wall and observed whether there were any traces of falling swords on the ice wall that looked like a mirror—she remembered the sword used by the county lord of Qingchuan. Falling straight down thirty zhang, the ice wall is still as smooth as a mirror, and there is no trace of the tip of the sword poking in.

Luckily, the ice gap wasn't wide, so she could quickly inspect the other side as far as her eyes could see.

She decided to fall another thirty zhang, if there was still no trace, the county lord of Qingchuan would go forward.

Xiao Yan fell down again.
