Just when Shangguan Xiu was secretly pondering, Qian Jin Zhengse said: "Brother Xiu, there is another advantage in beating the Ba clan now. ”

"Oh?"

"The leader of the Ba tribe that Brother Xiu killed last time is actually the patriarch of the Ba tribe, Kun Peng, and now that Kun Peng is dead, the Ba people are divided into two factions, one group supports Kun Peng's uncle Suba, and the other group supports Kun Peng's younger brother Ding Lun, the Ba people are fighting in the nest, it is a good time to attack them!"

"The problem is, even if we defeat the Ba tribe, we will not be able to occupy the territory of the Ba tribe, and the surrounding tribes will definitely attack it in groups, taking the opportunity to carve up the territory of the Ba tribe, and the tungsten gold mine will also fall into the hands of other tribes!" Luo Ren said with a frown.

When Qian Jin heard this, he calmed down and thought about it, what Luo Ren said was not unreasonable, no matter whether he could defeat the Ba tribe or not, it seemed impossible for the Ba tribe's tungsten gold mine to fall into his hands.

His shoulders slumped, and he slowly sat back in his chair, muttering, "Yes, it's the territory of the Shahites after all, and it's too difficult for us to go over and occupy a tungsten gold mine." ”

"It's not that it's completely out of the ordinary. Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said quietly: "But this matter is not urgent, you have to take your time." ”

After a pause, he changed his words and said: "In the first battle, we will take the battle with our nearest White Bird Clan! This battle is a battle to make a name for itself, we must win, and we must win, that is, to let the Shah people see the consequences of offending us, but also to let the people of Zhenjun see our strength!"

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" everyone responded in unison. Zhan Xiong asked, "Brother Xiu, how many brothers are we dispatching this time?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Five hundred." ”

"Only five hundred?"

"The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, as long as they are used properly, five hundred brothers are enough to defeat the White Bird Clan. Shangguan Xiu said confidently.

After receiving the letter from Yicheng, Shangguan Xiu did not send troops to reinforcements, but instead targeted the White Bird Clan outside the pass.

The territory of the White Bird Clan is not large, with Xibu Mountain as the center, the village of the White Bird Clan is built next to the mountain, looking at the past from a distance, the houses on the Xibu Mountain are stacked on top of each other, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Xibu Mountain is less than 100 miles away from Huya Pass, and the distance of less than 100 miles has caused a world of difference in the environment of the two places.

There is no grass near Huyaguan, the weather is dry, and the wind and sand are all over the sky, while Xibu Mountain is green and verdant, full of trees and flowers.

That night, Shangguan Xiu quietly sneaked out of Huya Pass with half a battalion of Feng Army and went straight to the direction of Xibu Mountain.

The backbone of the battle with Shangguan Xiu this time was the right branch of Shura Hall, and Zhan Xiong, Hao Shu, Sui Tangjing, Shao Han, and Qin Chuan were among them.

After fifty miles to the west, further on, there is the woods. Shangguan Xiu, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head sideways, and said, "Yang Fan!"

"Brother Xiu!" a young man in his twenties ran to Shangguan Xiu's approach and bowed down. This young man named Yang Fan came from the dark banner of Shura Hall, he had been to the customs with the caravan before, and he had also been to Xibu Mountain, where the White Bird tribe was located, and he was quite familiar with the environment in that area.

"Are we going through this wood?" Shangguan Xiu asked in a low voice as he raised his finger and pointed to the forest in front of him.

Yang Fan nodded and replied, "Yes, Brother Xiu, if you go any further, it will be all forests." If we don't want to be discovered by Fanzi, we can't take the main road, we can only walk through the forest, but there are many traps set by Fanzi in the forest, Brother Xiu has to be careful!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, waved his hand forward, and took the lead into the forest.

The forest was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Shangguan Xiu walked a few steps and said to Zhan Xiong behind him: "Pass the order, don't light the torches, let the brothers follow one by one, don't scatter!"

Zhan Xiong agreed and conveyed Shangguan Xiu's order to the soldiers behind.

Shangguan Xiu was taking the lead in walking forward, when he suddenly felt a softness under his feet, and his body fell down rapidly.

He didn't think about it, he naturally cast an instantaneous wind step, and the falling figure suddenly jumped up how high, Zhan Xiong, who was following Shangguan Xiu, grabbed his ankle and threw it back hard.

Shangguan Xiu's figure drew an arc in the air and fell into the crowd of the Wind Army.

"Brother Xiu—" Everyone hurriedly stretched out their hands to hug each other.

"Shhhhh

He squinted his eyes, walked a few steps forward, passed by Zhan Xiong's side, he patted his arm gratefully, looked down, and saw that there was an extra square pit on the ground that was one meter wide, looking into the pit, at least more than two meters away, the bottom of the pit was erected all sharpened bamboo sticks, if people fell in, they didn't know how many holes they had to be pierced.

After watching it, Shangguan Xiu also secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, he turned around and waved his hand to everyone, signaling everyone to bypass the trap and move on.

Of course, this trap is not the only trap in the forest, and then there is a trap almost every few meters or a dozen meters. There are traps that come from sudden wooden arrows, boulders that fall, and wooden stakes that sweep over, and all kinds of traps can be encountered here.

At a distance of fifty miles, Shangguan Xiu and the others walked in the forest for more than three hours, at this time, the woods gradually became sparse, and further forward, they could already see the outline of Xibu Mountain, and they could also see a few flashes of fire on the mountain.

Shangguan Xiu squatted down, and the Feng Jun who followed behind didn't understand what the situation was, so they hurriedly squatted down one after another. Zhan Xiong, Hao Shu, Sui Tangjing, Shao Han, Qin Chuan, and Peng Fei slowly approached Shangguan Xiu's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"

"This is already very close to Xibu Mountain, I am worried that there will be a hidden outpost of the enemy in this area, you and your brothers don't move here, I will go to the front and explore the way first!"

"Brother Xiu, I'll go with you!" said the six Zhan Xiong almost in unison.

Shangguan Xiule was happy, and said in a low voice: "I'm not going to fight, I'm just exploring the way, I'm enough for one person." With that, he slowly stood up and walked cautiously forward, and in a short time his figure disappeared into the dark woods.

He stepped forward for some distance, crouched down again, squinting his eyes and surveying forward.

The trees in the forest are so dense that even in broad daylight, the visible distance is limited, let alone in the dark. Shangguan Xiu glanced at it for a while, he didn't see anyone, but he just felt the existence of people in this area.

He inhaled slowly, closed his eyes, and moved with his heart, and the aura in his body emanated, and as his aura dissipated, a breeze suddenly blew in the forest, and the leaves were blown to a rattle. Shangguan Xiu tilted his head sideways, pricked up his ears, and listened and perceived carefully.

Call!

As the breeze spread outward, he suddenly felt the air flow of someone's breath causing a subtle disturbance in the breeze.

Although Shangguan Xiu had his eyes closed, through his keen perception of the wind, he could clearly judge where a person was hiding.

The moment he opened his eyes, two electric lights shot out of his eyes. He lifted his legs high, landed lightly, made a circle in the woods, and then came to the back of a large tree, jumped up, and sprang to the treetops.

He jumped up directly from under the tree, the treetops only trembled slightly, and the person squatting on the treetops felt something, and subconsciously looked back, but he didn't see Shangguan Xiu, only a big hand stretched out to him.

Shangguan Xiu covered the man's mouth, put his other arm around the man's neck, and slammed his arms hard, and heard a crisp sound, and the man's neck bone was stiffly frustrated.

He slowly released his arms and placed the man's body on the trunk of the tree, and then he jumped down from the tree and did so, emitting aura and turning into a breeze, as he sensed the dark sentinel in the forest.

Shangguan Xiu's use of the wind attribute became more and more proficient, and the speed of clearing the dark whistles became faster and faster, and it didn't take long for him to clear out six dark whistles in the forest.

Feeling that there was no secret post nearby, he returned to his own team, and then beckoned to everyone, and after people gathered around him, Shangguan Xiu said in a low voice: "Tonight, we are not here to visit the door, but to let people remember us firmly, and when we can do it, destroy all the enemies who can still fight, do you understand?"

"Understood! Brother Xiu!" everyone present nodded in unison.

Seeing that people's expressions were solemn, Shangguan Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "Are the brothers afraid?"

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Follow Brother Xiu, we're not afraid!"

"It's right not to be afraid, just Fanzi, what's there to be afraid of? Tonight, we're going to let Fanzi see what the tiger and wolf division of the wind is!"

"Whoever dares to offend my Gale Territory will be punished!" shouted in unison.

Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept over the faces of the people around him one by one, and then nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Action!"

As he spoke, he took out his face towel and covered it on his face, and when everyone else saw this, they all took out the face towel they had prepared and tied it up one after another.

Shangguan Xiu drew his sword, and the people around him followed suit, and for a while, the rustle of the saber out of the sheath was endless, and a knife light flashed in the forest.

He stood up and strode in the direction of Mount Xibu with a masked wind army.

Shangguan Xiu rushed out of the woods first, and there were two soldiers standing guard not far from the forest, they didn't even see what was going on, Shangguan Xiu had flashed to the front of the two, the saber in his hand first wiped the neck of one person, and then the knife stabbed forward and inserted into the chest of another soldier.

The man opened his mouth wide and was about to scream, but Shangguan Xiu took the lead and covered the other party's mouth and pressed him to the ground.

At this moment, Zhan Xiong and Hao Shu had already passed past him and rushed forward quickly. The five hundred wind armies followed, pouring into the White Bird Clan's stockade like a tidal wave.

The rumbling footsteps woke the White Bird people in the nearby wooden house from their sleep, and the men walked out of the wooden house shirtless, one by one with sleepy eyes, and when they looked outside, their eyes were so wide.

One of them pointed at the rushing wind army, opened his mouth wide, and was about to scream, when he heard a whoosh, and a crossbow arrow flew into his mouth, and the tip of the crossbow shot out of the back of his head.
