Wu Yan stood in the lower reaches of the river, stepping on a reef that could be exposed to the water, silently watching his subordinates who were pulling horses to cross the river a few feet away. It is said that the water is shallow, but in fact, it has not reached the vicinity of a person's neck.

The bottom of the water is very slippery with silt, and occasionally people will slip and fall and be swept away by the water. Wu Gen would step forward and lead people to escort them to the other side. These people are brought out by themselves, and they can die in battle, but they can't choose to drown in this kind of aggrieved death.

On the other side, Zhuo Ke and the others were picking up their companions who had crossed the river one by one, and when everyone had crossed the river safely, Wu Gengfang was on tiptoe and landed lightly on the bank.

Sogi quietly walked up to Drok and asked in a low voice, "Is this the case with adults?" ”

Zhuo Ke was a little puzzled, thought about it and suddenly said: "That's the owner of the village, who often blocks knives for us, what is this." With a blank look, Zock turned to help a choking companion squeeze out the river in his belly.

Sogi was stunned, looked at the sword in his hand, and suddenly envied the scimitar with a beautiful curve at the waist of these people.

After crossing the river, the procession did not stop until it was dark.

Gathered around the campfire, Wu Yan carefully looked at the map. Kejing Pass has been left behind, but what about the people of the Heita family, looking at the peaks on the map one after another, as well as the various forked intersections, Wu Jian couldn't help but scratch his head a little.

After Kejing Pass, there are mostly rolling hills, and there are not many real roads, and many times it is a mountain road with branches. This also means that whether it is Wu Gen or the people of the Heita family, there are many choices.

Suo Ji leaned over and glanced at Wu Yan carefully, "My lord, are you worried about which way to go?" ”

Wu Yan nodded and handed the map to Suo Ji, "Do you have any good suggestions." ”

Sogi glanced at the map, "I want to ask your lord if you want to stay away from the people of the Black Tower family, or if you want to fight with them." ”

"Oh, what's that in that." Wu Yan raised his eyebrows, and said with a straight face.

Sogi thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you going on this trip?" ”

"Iron Hand Province." Wu Gen beckoned, and Xue Xin and the others all gathered around.

"Iron Hand Province." Sogi scratched his head, recognized the words on the map, and measured it with his hand, "My lord, I have walked most of these roads. If you want to avoid the people of the Heita family, let's go east, go through Mang Mountain, cut Wulong Mountain, and then turn north. Walking this way, unless the Heta family flies over, they won't be able to catch up with us at all. ”

"If you want to fight them." Xue Xin glanced at Wu Gan's expression and asked.

"Then stick to the Mangshan Mountain to the north and cross the water again, in this case, we can take a shortcut and set up an ambush in the mountain. And the mountain roads here are extremely narrow, as long as the Heita family dares to leave the road and enter the mountain, there is no difference between a thousand people and a hundred, because the terrain is not open, and they can only move forward one by one. Moreover, there were so many forks in the road that it was difficult for them to determine where we had gone. Sogi stood up and pointed to the north.

Wu Yan stared down at the map, and the people next to him also looked at him nervously.

After a long time, Wu Genfang raised his head and slashed down with his hand, "Let's go north, I will finally show my face and tell the Heita family that I am leaving Zuoheng Road." In this way, Chu Xi and them will have less pressure in the future. ”

The decision was made, and the next day the sky was bright, and the team set off again. Due to the lack of many horses, most of the marches could only rely on feet, and the war horses became pack horses.

At noon, two birds suddenly appeared in the sky, hovering over the team.

Suo Ji hurriedly walked to Wu Gan's side, pointed to the sky and said, "My lord, this bird should have been sent by the Black Tower family to reconnoiter our whereabouts. Although the small one is good at controlling beasts, this tamed bird has no way. "I really regret my crow's mouth in my heart, and the Heta family really sent someone to fly over.

Wu Gen glanced up, and then glanced at the surrounding terrain, "Ignore him, keep going." ”

After walking less than a stick of incense, a danghu bird in the air turned around and left, and should have gone back to report the news. Everyone's faces are very ugly, at such a high distance, arrows can't be shot, is it difficult to be stared at by others like this.

Wu Yan bowed his head without saying a word, and when he reached the top of a mountain, Fang Yi waved his hand, "Rest." Dine. ”

More than 100 people immediately stopped and buried their own pots to cook. The birds in the sky flew lower, as if trying to see what the gang was doing.

Wu Yan held a grass in his mouth and looked up at the movement of the bird. Suddenly, Wu Gan's eyes narrowed and he spit out the grass stalks in his mouth. With a bang, there was a lot of dust around him, and a pit appeared on the ground, which shot at the bird like an arrow.

The bird in the sky didn't expect someone to come so straight to him, so he turned around and flew high.

Picking up the bow and pulling the string, Wu Yan swayed up like a harrier, looking up at the panicked bird. With a hard kick of both feet, the body was in the air, as if it had found a fulcrum.

A white arrow with a long trail flew towards the bird. The man on the bird tried his best to manipulate the bird, trying to avoid the strange arrow, and even forgot to fire the arrow back.

Two more white arrows flew out one after another, spinning in the air, and the white wake was entwined with each other, forming a long net, like a fisherman's cage in the pond, trapping the bird firmly inside.

The rumbling sound resounded in the sky, and the bird and the people on it were torn into large and small pieces, and the remnants of the feathers were mixed with flesh and blood, falling from the sky like rain.

Wu Gen turned over lightly, and his body fell to the ground. With a thud, his feet and hands without bows were propped up on the ground, and even the mountain seemed to tremble.

Sogi looked at the long flowing clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there was still this way of playing.

Ha Ying's arrogant voice came from behind him, "We have this body method and bows and arrows, they are all passed down by the master of the village, but the cultivation has not yet arrived." ”

Boom, Suo Ji swallowed his saliva, ran to Wu Gan's side, and handed over a piece of baked dough, "My lord, please use it." ”

The team continued to move forward unhurriedly, and after half a day, the little beast scouts sent by Sogi sent a message, and the people of the Black Tower family chased after them.

At night, when we reached a fork in the road, Wu Yan looked at the surrounding terrain, "Zhuo Ke, you and Ha Ying take twenty more horses, go to the intersection on the left, and let the horses go." For the rest, continue to the intersection on the right. ”

Horses are the most important companions of the cavalry, and if they lose their horses, the cavalry is left with only one soldier. Despite this, no one questioned it, and Zhuok and Ha Ying also drove twenty horses neatly, and soon melted into the night.

Sogi watched all this silently, and from a bystander's point of view, this kind of decision was a bit rough. But look at the people around him, as a matter of course, he handed over his horse and carried the heavy burden on his body, and the whole process was mellow and free, without half a point of obscurity.

Looking at the young man who was sitting by the campfire in the night and looking down and thinking, not even as old as himself, walking all the way during the day, Sogi understood a little, and after understanding, he was a little jealous.

I am also a village owner, when will there be such a group of subordinates who believe in their hearts and implement them unconditionally.

The procession continued to walk through the mountains, but more often in the forest, through the concealment of the trees, in case they were discovered by the heavenly birds. As for the danghu bird in the sky, it was shot down by Wu Gan again, and it never appeared again, so that Zhang Wuyang and others, who had itchy hands, lost their usefulness.

"My lord, the pursuers have come up, and the number is a little less, about five hundred." Sogi faithfully carried out the reconnaissance mission, and I have to say that this skill of controlling beasts is still quite practical in this mountain forest. In the reckless mountains, the most are these ubiquitous little beasts.

Wu Yan was silent for a while, saying that he was silent for more and more time these days. The lives of more than 100 people are all in their own thoughts, even if Wu Gen is big-hearted, he is also cautious and cautious at this time, calculating and calculating.

At the beginning, Lingyun Eight Cavalry killed six people, Wu Gen beheaded Baili Su and Ha Da, and took the old nest of the Heita family, and ambushed the heavy cavalry of the Baili family. In all fairness, he is really not an atmospheric person, but he has some baht to compare.

So many people's lives and deaths are in their own hands, and it would be nonsense to say that there is no pressure.

Xue Xin saw his thoughts, and followed after a few steps, "Owner of the village, there are still too many opponents, let's divide some horses out." ”

"Okay." Wu Yan nodded. Soon, at the next intersection, Wu Gan divided thirty more horses.

"How?" A day later, Wu Gan sat under a tree, reached out to take the wild fruit handed over by Zhuo Ke, wiped it on his clothes, thought about it and threw it to Sogi.

Suo Ji hurriedly took the wild fruit, "My lord, there are more than two hundred people in the Heita family. ”

Stretching out a hand, Wu Yan clenched it into a fist, loosened and tightened, and only said after a while: "When Hu hasn't seen him for a long time, why can they still keep up." ”

Sogi hastened to reply, "They must have used a dog, this beast has a very sharp nose, and as long as it leaves some smell in the mountains, it will bite and chase after it." ”

Wu Yan sat on the ground with his hands on his cheeks and thoughtfully, "Can you think of a way to lure the dog away." ”

Suo Ji had a difficult face, grabbed the wild fruit in his hand, and squatted beside Wu Qian, "My lord, you can lead it away, just find some of our clothes and throw them somewhere else." But if you throw less, the dog will still smell us. But if you throw too much, you have to send many people out, and in this big mountain, it is not easy to gather people. ”

Wu Yan nodded, "You're right, are we going to cross the water again soon?" ”

It must be mentioned here that due to the changeable nature of Mangshan Mountain, the water has a big zigzag around the mountain, and Wu Gen and his party have to cross the water twice to the north.

"Yes, my lord, after two more mountains, we will be at the river of Xishui." Soggie quickly replied.

Wu Jian stood up and ordered Xue Xin, "Divide the rest of the horses, and when you get to the Xishui River, all the people will go out, spread along the river bank, and throw away all the things you don't want." Then the whole army crossed the river and set up an ambush on the other side of the river. It's about to leave Zuoheng Road, and it's time for a fight. ”

"Yes." Xue Xin simply agreed.

Some people died, but not completely......
