The scouts of the Lizhou army are relatively lax on weekdays, but they are also guarding the frontier for the country, and they are not closed to the door and only eat military food.

The scouts still have to be sent, wandering around under the snow-capped mountains in the north, and once there is an accident, they will immediately send someone back to deliver the message.

"General, how can you do this scout work, don't be tired." In the scout procession, one of them said flatteringly to the leader of the general.

This person is Ning Wu, the deputy general of the Lizhou battalion.

Ning Wu said: "This is not a trivial matter, my brother Ning Fei in the Hanging Sword Division sent me a message, telling me to pay attention to the Beiliang Army recently, but I dare not relax." ”

The scout Wu Chang said: "Then you don't have to come in person, how cold it is, just a few of us." ”

"Huh?" Captain Wu was patting on the back, and a soldier pointed to the snowy mountain, "Is there anyone there?" ”

It was too far away, at least a few miles away, but dense black dots could be seen moving.

"Anyone?" Wu Chang narrowed his eyes, but he didn't see it clearly.

Ning Wu looked at it, and with the eyesight of a warrior, he saw a lot of people at once.

Suddenly glanced at the Wu Chief: "As a scout, you don't even have this bit of eyesight, how did you become this Wu Chief?" ”

"Uh......"

Wu Chang gritted his teeth secretly and glared at the mouthy soldier.

You're the one with long eyes?

Ning Wu Zongma: "Go and transfer the scouts nearby, let's press over first and see their reaction." ”

"General, I think it's just some rogues, let's rush over and kill them directly." Someone is confidently authentic.

At this time, the snow-capped mountains are still climbing, and there is no harvest.

Even if it's hunting, it won't be that high. The place that is too high is not suitable for most prey to survive, let alone people, who will get tired after running a few steps.

"Don't be rash, they have more than a hundred or so people, go and see."

Saying that, Ning Wu took the lead, and the captain also followed closely and sent someone back to transfer troops.

There are less than thirty people in their line, and they naturally need reinforcements in the face of so many people.

……

"Big brother, no, they're getting closer!"

The horse bandits on the mountain suddenly became nervous.

"What are you worried about, there are a lot of us, they really dare to come up rashly and kill them directly!" The leading horse bandit, with a scar on his face, snorted extremely fiercely.

"There are more than 30 people on the other side, all of them scouts, their combat power is very strong, and they are all ordnance...... We don't have to be opponents. ”

One person persuaded: "Big brother, let's go quickly, or don't contact them." ”

The leader frowned, looked back at the goods dragged by a few horses, and immediately put away his murderous intent.

"Even if they escape, let's go, we've been climbing the mountain for a long time, and they can't catch up."

As he spoke, a group of people no longer carefully concealed it, and fled towards the north at great speed.

At the foot of the mountain, Ning Wu, who was about to go up the mountain, saw this scene.

"It's not good, they're going to run, there's a problem!"

Ning Wu immediately ordered: "Catch up and shoot directly!" ”

"My lord, it's just a few rogues, and the brothers are tired...... "Wu Chang said reluctantly.

This is not something for the Northern Liang Army, there is no military merit, he is not very happy to do it.

Ning Wu glared at the Wu Commander: "Go!" ”

After that, the horse went up the mountain.

"Drive!"

The scouts all followed, and Wu Chang shook his head, he had to follow, otherwise it would be disobedience.

But he was far behind.

It's not a rational thing to take risks for something that doesn't have merit, and if you die here, your pension will be discounted.

Fighting and dying in battle with the Beiliang Army, and dying in battle with the Liukou are completely different pensions.

"Stop!"

Ning Wu rode the horse in front, and because he walked all year round, he was very familiar with the path of this snow-capped mountain.

It's clear where you can ride a horse and where you have to walk.

Immediately led the whole team and approached quickly.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the horse bandits was fierce: "Look for death!" ”

"Big brother, if this continues, they will soon catch up with us."

"Shall we ride horses too?" There is humanity.

"Get on the horse!" Although I am not familiar with the road, I can't help it, and I am in close contact with the regular army, which is self-defeating.

The scouts, in particular, were the strongest in the regular army, with more than thirty people lined up neatly, enough to kill his group of bandits who had long been neglected to practice.

"General, they're on their horses too." Wu Changdao.

"Riding a horse in this mountain, do you think it's me a Lizhou scout?"

Ning Wu disdainful: "Everyone, follow my horse, don't run around, there are many dangers here." ”

One escapes, one chases, and it is difficult to fly.

Within half an hour, the bandit army that had not yet reached the top of the mountain was desperate.

Because not only was that group of scouts about to catch up, but dozens of people appeared at the bottom of the mountain, and it seemed that they were also scouts from the Lizhou battalion nearby.

Originally, it was very difficult to face 30 people, and if it was doubled, there would definitely be death and no life.

So, the leader had to look at a few people:

"Your horses, carrying the goods over the mountain quickly, we will stay to buy time for you, we must bring the goods back to Beiliang, no matter what!"

"It's big brother...... No, General! ”

Hearing this long-lost word, the leader of the bandit army, Scarface, smiled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of memory.

That year, he was drunk and made trouble, and after being disarmed, he thought he was doing nothing, but he didn't expect that it was the order from above that he secretly sent him here to be a horse bandit.

This is seven or eight years.

They are horse bandits, and they are also the eyeliner of Bei Liang in the Xia Kingdom, and they are also the chess pieces that are enabled at important moments.

This time, the inner line came out of Qidi, brought the goods to them, and asked them to return to the border line with the goods at any cost, and the Beiliang Army would be there to pick them up.

As long as you cross this mountain, you are the destination.

And these goods, only the leaders of this group of bandits disguised as horse bandits know what it is to fall to the ground and how important it is to fall to the ground!

"General, brothers take care!" The five of them gritted their teeth and left with the goods, not daring to turn back, and rushed forward.

"For Bei Liang!" Scarface gritted his teeth and smiled, looking at the people who had stayed.

"For Bei Liang!"

The shouts rang out, and a lot of snow fell from the dead trees nearby.

"Zheng—"

Drawing out his saber, Scarface said: "Each of them is in ambush, our purpose is to delay time and prevent these people from chasing after them." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, a hundred or so people dispersed and hid themselves in various places in the snow.

……

"Dashuai, Lizhou is already in front of you."

"Do you want to attack it, there is a lot of grain in Lizhou."

Someone has itchy hands.

was glared at by Luo Yang, and they all converged.

"Go around, go northeast, pass from the snow valley of the Beipi Snow Mountain, go to the back of the snow mountain for dozens of miles, and wait there." Luoyang Road.

If you want to go to the north of the snow-capped mountains, you don't need to go through Lizhou, just take a detour.

Luo Yang doesn't have time, it's a waste of Lizhou, as long as he brings back the grain, the rest is not in his eyes at all.

"Xuegukou, I'm afraid it won't be for the scouts of Lizhou, and there will even be people guarding it." Luo Hao reminded.

Luo Yang reined in the horse and said lightly: "Then kill it!" ”

"Woohoo!" Everyone laughed, and the color of confidence was overflowing.

"Mighty and mighty!"

"Well said, kill it."

Tens of thousands of war horses immediately galloped.

This scene was naturally seen from afar by the scouts of Lizhou.

"My mother......" As soon as the scout saw this, he immediately reined in his horse and warned the nearby scouts, "Go back and inform General Sun that most of the Northern Liang army is coming!" ”

The armaments and horses of the Northern Liang Army, as well as the soldiers, were different from those of the Xia Kingdom, and the scouts with good eyesight could be seen from a few miles away.

"Enemy attack! Hurry back to the camp to report the news, and go quickly! ”

Although the scouts were stronger than ordinary soldiers, it was impossible for them to resist the formed regular army, especially the Northern Liang cavalry.

"That's less than 10,000 people, they actually came directly, and didn't send scouts to inquire along the way?"

"Maybe I was afraid that the scouts would expose their whereabouts, so I ran directly."

"Lizhou is in danger, our western city wall is still partially damaged, and it's going to be over now!"

"Huh? Wait a minute? ”

"Why did they go in the direction of Snow Valley, not for Lizhou?"

The scouts, who were taken aback, were even more surprised.

Snow Valley is a very important pass, out of the Snow Valley Pass, that is, the two areas of Beiliang and Great Xia.

The borders between the two countries are all gaps, and it is impossible to fit them tightly, and there needs to be a strategic buffer zone.

More than ten miles outside the Snow Valley Pass, it is such a buffer zone, and both sides must not easily garrison troops, otherwise it will be a signal for war.

Lizhou's military strength is not strong, and it relies on the snow mountain barrier to resist the Northern Liang army, as long as it holds the mouth of the snow valley, there is no need to worry about being invaded.

But now...... The Northern Liang Army actually attacked from the territory and killed the Snow Mountain Pass, which was very different from invading from the north.
