In the dark night, the dreadnought army and Ji Yan's subordinates were upright and horses, wrapped their hooves, and quietly ran towards Cuisong Mountain in the distance.

After a day of rest, the physical strength of the people and horses is restored. On this day, Wu Gen continued to send men and horses to rob and kill a small group of horse thieves wandering outside, so as not to let the thieves discover their movements.

Horse thieves don't all stay in the camp, they will send some people out to do business on weekdays, otherwise these horse thieves will not be producing, where will they eat and drink.

There was no moon in the night sky today, and it was pitch black, except for the stars that shed a little bit of clear light, and they could barely make out the way.

The day of strangulation of the horse thief was chosen by Hu Jia, in order to make it easy to hide his whereabouts when it was dark. As for Yang Zheng, Hu Jia and Ye Ziming, they did not participate in this killing, they still traveled around the Iron Hand Province to inquire about the situation of each family.

The tall shadow of Cuisong Mountain has stood in front of you, and you can see a few lights of the main village in the distance. As for the small village, the huge lantern on the wall is already clearly visible.

Wu Yan stopped, and the people and horses behind him also stopped in turn. Xue Xin was called over, Wu Jian briefly explained a few words, and Xue Xin took five hundred people and dismounted and touched in the direction of Xiaozhai.

Half an hour later, the figures of Xue Xin and the others had disappeared on the hillside under the small village. Patting the holly bird beside him, Wu Qian motioned for it to report to the departure camp.

The darkness between the heavens and the earth faded, the stars dimmed a little, and there was a faint brightness on the horizon, and some birds and beasts who got up early began to be restless.

More than a dozen dark shadows appeared in the sky, and this was none other than the Vigilant army led by Shui Congyue and Sogi. According to the agreed plan, yesterday Suo Jifang rushed over from Xingshan with Danghu Bird and Flying Shuttle to the camp outside the mountain.

After receiving the water from the moon, prepare to take advantage of the night to surprise the small village from the air. The Yihu army flew silently in the direction of the small village, and under the starlight, it was vaguely seen that the black shadow had successfully fallen into the small village, and did not cause a reaction from the horse thief.

Suddenly, there was a faint shouting sound in the small village, and soon the wall of the village was lit up with firelight, when the bird and the shuttle flew up again, hovering over the small village, and constantly put rockets in the village.

Especially the two shuttles, the bridge team personally sat on them to control, at this time they were frantically spitting red arrows, and lightning appeared in the dark night.

The shuttle can shoot sixteen arrows in one round, which is still due to the lack of Wu Gan's spiritual jade, which reduces the configuration of each shuttle's sky-shaking bow.

The arrows fell in the middle of the village, and even if they stood so far away from Wu Qian, they could see fireballs erupting one after another, and the rumbling sound suddenly drove away the silence of the night.

On the city wall, several figures suddenly appeared, one of them was the tallest, and where the halberd was waving, people could be seen screaming and flying out of the wall from time to time.

Soon, Wu Jian saw a fire at the gate of the wall, and figures were swarming in from the gate.

It's done, Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, Shui Congyue's sneak attack was very successful, the gate of the village had been opened, half of the plan was over, and the rest was up to him.

"Baoxiang, take Lingyun Baqi and the rest of the men and horses, and set off." Wu Gan commanded in a low voice, and Baoxiang led people to ride horses in the direction of the mountain behind the main village.

The horse thief's main village in Cuisong Mountain is not located on the top of the mountain, but near the mountainside. Yang Zheng had already tried to explore the terrain around the main village, and found that there were several small roads that could be detoured back to the main village, but the roads were rugged, unable to drive horses, and even people could not accommodate much, so the guards were very loose.

Baoxiang's task is to lurk behind the main village from the path, and wait for Wu Gen and others to wait for an opportunity to disturb the rear of the horse thieves after a frontal assault.

Seeing Baoxiang leaving, Wu Yan rode his horse to Ji Yan's side,

"Third young master, you just lead people to stay here and watch my signal camera support. Another ancestor Qianhu will also send troops later to sweep away the horse thieves who have returned from the periphery. Ji Yan withdrew her gaze from Xiaozhai and nodded,

"Wu Gan, be careful. Zu Qianhu, you should also choose the opportunity to go. ”

"Subordinates obey." Zu Yuantong immediately gave a salute and galloped into the distance with his own men and horses.

The reason why Wu Gen arranged such a task for him was because he was not very easy to command. After all, people are also a thousand households, and being able to divide the soldiers for you to use is already giving you a lot of face.

Moreover, Ji Yan is here, if he can intercept the enemy on the periphery, Ji Yan will be safer here, so Wu Yan is not worried that his people will passively respond to the battle.

Wu Yan arched his hand at Ji Yan, and he and Li Qi rushed towards the direction of the main village with thirty chariots and other horses.

His task is to intercept the men and horses coming out of the main village, which is a thankless job, and can only be done by him, the manager.

With the fire of the small village, there was gradually movement on the side of the main village. It's just that this hour is the time when people sleep the deadliest, and for a while, there is chaos in the main village, and no one rushes out of the village for half a day.

From the small village to the main village is a relatively flat valley, and further up is a mountain road paved with stone slabs.

The road had been repaired by horse thieves enough to leave seven or eight horses free and gallop. Wu Gen led the people to pass through the small village easily, lined up ten chariots in the valley, and aimed at the location of the intersection.

At the same time, they sent people to sprinkle a large amount of thistle terrestris on the mountain road, waiting for the horse thief to come. Looking at the chaotic main village, Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it would be better if there were more Yihu troops, and directly attack the main village, why not fight, block and defend as now.

On the mountain road, the figure of a horse thief finally appeared, carrying all kinds of weapons in his hands, and rushed down on horseback.

These horse thieves were apparently ordered on a temporary basis, and some of them were bare-legged, and they didn't even have time to put on their armor.

Wu Qian looked at Li Qi, who was standing beside him with a sword, and patted his own scabbard,

"It's up to the two of us today, I heard that these horse thieves have good skills, be careful not to die here." Li Qi frowned, and didn't look at Wu Gan,

"If you want to go to war, you can't say something auspicious."

"Hehe, fighting a war is an unlucky word, is it possible to say a few words of longevity and Tianqi before the war and you will not die." Wu Gen shook his head slightly, slowly pulled the broken knife out of the sheath, and pointed it at the sky,

"Wind up." At the sound of an order, the soldiers behind each chariot lifted the waterproof cloth on the giant crossbow one after another, and slowly pulled the thick crossbow string with their hands wrapped in thick deerskin.

With a creaking sound, a long arrow as red as blood appeared on the giant crossbow. The strings then followed, and a second and third appeared, and finally four long arrows appeared on each of the great crossbows.

These string-pulling soldiers had red faces, green tendons erupted in their hands, and their whole bodies were trembling slightly, obviously the qi and blood consumed by such a giant crossbow were really extraordinary.

On the mountain road, there were screams of people and horses, and it was obvious that in such a dim environment, those inconspicuous tribulus terrestris played a role.

A few riders and horses rolled down the mountain road, and the screams suddenly became louder. Soon more than a dozen horses rolled down and collided with the original men and horses, trampling several horses that were struggling to get up to death.

"Don't stop, rush over." The roar of horse thieves could be heard on the mountain road. From the junction, dozens of horsemen poured out, stepping on the corpses of the war horses and companions in front of them, and rushed forward.

Obviously, a layer of thistle terrestris can't stop these bandits who are used to living right away. Wu Yan took a deep breath, the broken knife in his hand was still pointing at the sky, and he silently looked at the formation of the horse thieves opposite.

At last, more than a hundred people appeared in the valley, howling, brandishing the swords, axes, guns and halberds in their hands, and rushing towards the chariot not far away.

"Put." Wu Geng's tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and the broken knife in his hand slashed downward. Ten giant crossbows shimmered, and forty long arrows glowing with a bewitching red light swooped down like demons on the horse thief who was speeding up.

The long arrow pierced the body of the horse thief, and continued backwards with the corpse of a man or horse, and then crashed into the person behind him, until the horse thief was chiseled through and pierced deep into the rock.

There was a dull rumbling sound, and on the mountain road, on the rock wall beside the road, a brilliant light exploded, and countless gravel shot away like rain in all directions.

The bright red light in the mountains is as if the morning glow has descended on the world in advance. The ground in the valley was shaking, and the entire Cuisong Mountain seemed to tremble.

The horses beneath the dreadnoughts were neighing, and some of them even tried to turn around and flee, and if it weren't for the riders' efforts to hold on to the reins, the dreadnoughts themselves would have been in disarray.

After the smoke and dust, large pits appeared one after another at the mountain junction and the valley below, and there were no living creatures at the scene.

Even if the horse thieves weren't killed by the arrows, countless pieces of rubble had beaten them into a sieve. Wu Yan looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, he thought that the giant crossbow was more powerful, but he didn't expect that the transformation of the Jingqiao class would be so big.

With a click, with the sound, a tall rock wall beside the mountain road finally could no longer support it, and the rubble and grass and trees fell and collapsed, and the valley once again poured billowing smoke and dust.

Li Qi wiped his face, and a piece of dust fell on his face like a woman with heavy makeup, and said quietly: "Wu Gan, I think we don't need to fight, if we shoot a few more rounds, this mountain will collapse." ”

"I also want to push it up like this, but it can't be done, with the cultivation of the crossbowman, this kind of giant crossbow pulling twice is already the limit, and if you pull it hard, the person will be wasted. We will still attack the city, and we can't put all our strength here. Get ready to rush. Wu Yan sighed and glanced back.

The crossbowmen who had just pulled the string once had retreated to the back to rest, and were replaced by the crossbowmen in the back row. After a cup of tea, the figure of the horse thief appeared again on the mountain road, but it looked cautious, and it was obvious that the shooting just now also frightened them.

Amid the shouts and curses of the warlords, more and more people poured down from the mountain road, but these horse thieves did not come forward, but gathered in front of the big pits, looking at the rows of giant crossbows in the valley with some timidity.

"Take the miracle medicine." As the people on the mountain roared, the horse thieves took something out of their bodies and stuffed it into their mouths, and fed some to the horses under them.

"These horse thieves are dead soldiers." Li Qi suddenly said on the side,

"There are also three, six, nine and so on among the horse thieves, and these should be the lowest existences. I've heard that some horse thieves give their men an elixir that will not be afraid of death and will not feel pain. However, this elixir is also harmful, even if you can survive after the fight, you will lie down for more than ten or twenty days to recover, and your body will not be as good as before. ”

"Oh." Wu Yan agreed, stared at the reaction on the other side, raised the broken knife in his hand, and the giant crossbow on his side was pulled away again.

Sure enough, the eyes of these horse thieves who had taken the pill began to turn red, and their bodies slowly expanded, and their bodies were filled with a strange dark red mist.

Even the horses under them were irritable, biting each other's kind in the ranks. After a howl of ghosts and wolves, the horse thieves turned hideous and roared in the direction of the dreadnoughts.

The broken knife slashed hard, and the long red arrow was sent out again. Without waiting for the other party to increase his troops again, Wu Gan pointed forward with a broken knife,

"The chariots are on standby, and the cavalry is rushing with me."
