North Snow Mountain, middle section.

The snow-capped mountains, the only main road leading to Beiliang here, were soaked in a bright red bloodstain.

A spear was stuck diagonally on the mountain, and on the only plum tree, a corpse dripping with blood was nailed under the tree, looking in the direction of Beiliang.

Scarface was still open, and he was holding Ning Wu's spear with both hands, so that Ning Wu had to temporarily abandon the gun and chase after him with only a knife and a bow and arrows.

The scouts of the Lizhou battalion who followed after "......" were silent when they saw the death of Scarface, and continued to chase.

Scarface is undoubtedly a man and a hero.

But that's for Bei Liang.

His hero, my enemy.

"Stop!"

The road ahead was broken, but it was a slope, and the two of them rushed down diagonally, as if they were not dying.

Ning Wu shouted, but no one stopped, the two people and the four horses who were going down the mountain couldn't stop, and of course they didn't want to stop.

"Whoa—"

Bend the bow and shoot an arrow, and an arrow pierces through the head of a horse.

The war horse fell, and died before it could scream, and died without looking at it.

Perhaps it will never understand why the struggle between humans should be caught in it.

"Whoa—"

Another arrow, and one fell with his chest clutched.

The other did not look at the fallen comrade, but grabbed the reins of the horse in his hand and dragged the three horses down the mountain.

Ning Wu gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to jump down, this slope was too steep, if he couldn't stop, he would fall down the mountain directly, and if he was unlucky, he would fall into the abyss of the snow nest.

He had to shoot again.

But he pulled the wound, gritted his teeth several times and endured it, and kept shooting arrows.

The scouts of Lizhou also arrived, and together they shot at the men and horses who were rolling down the mountain.

The arrows were denser, and they hit, but they didn't work, and they snowballed and couldn't stop.

If they hadn't been chased here, they would have had a safer road, not far from the side, but they were destined to be unable to escape by walking like this.

So they decided to die.

But also roll the goods to the foot of the mountain.

"After falling like this, I'm afraid it's all broken." Scout Wu Chang bared his teeth, and he suffered more knives than Ning Wu, because his martial arts were slightly insufficient.

Ning Wu was a little worried: "If you really roll down the mountain......"

"General, what do you see?"

"See what?"

Wu Chang pointed to the north of the mountain and exclaimed: "There are people, so many people!" ”

"What?" Ning Wu looked fixedly, and had already seen the banner of the Beiliang Army from a distance, and was immediately shocked, "How can there be a Beiliang Army here, where did they come from?" ”

The army was dispatched, and the scouts outside the pass would warn, but such a large number of Beiliang troops appeared in the north of Beipi Snow Mountain, but no news came from the scouts.

There is only one explanation, this group of Northern Liang troops did not come directly from the north.

"Could it be the Northern Liang Army over there in Liangzhou?" Ning Wu was surprised.

Wu Chang was surprised: "How is it possible?" ”

"If they appear here, then they should have passed the Snow Valley Pass, and the Snow Valley Pass is so easy to lose?" A scout is hard to accept.

Ning Wu knew something.

"Snow Valley Pass has an invincible posture in rejecting the north, but in the face of the enemy from the south, I am afraid that I will not have enough strength to spare."

To the south of Snow Valley Pass, there is no natural danger, and there is no Nancheng Pass gate.

"General, are they here to pick up this group of Beiliang horse bandits?" Wu Chang thought.

Ning Wu nodded: "It should be." ”

"Fortunately, they didn't get down the mountain alive, the vast snow-capped mountain, the slope is extremely steep, and the people of Beiliang can't come up."

"I hope so......"

Ning Wu said: "Go, go back." ”

The northern slope could not go up the mountain, and this operation was considered a success, even if most of the grain seeds were not intercepted, but it did not allow the Beiliang people to successfully respond.

……

North Snow Mountain, north.

More than 10,000 light riders, all the way out of the snow valley pass, until this time has passed two hours.

"Brother, why didn't you come and wait earlier, deliberately slowing down the march?" Luo Hao rode over and asked in a low voice.

"In case there are Lizhou scouts on the snow mountain, we arrive early, but it will make them vigilant, and it will not be easy for our people to come back from the mountain." Luo Yang looked at the north of the mountain.

But not even a moving target was found.

"I see." Luo Hao nodded slightly, and also looked at the mountain with anticipation.

For a long time, no one appeared.

"Luo Shuai, are we here early?" The general asked.

Luo Yang shook his head: "At the appointed time, at this time, they should have already reached the foot of the mountain...... Did you encounter something that delayed? ”

"You can't be unlucky and bump into the scouts of Lizhou, right?" Luo Hao muttered.

Bo Ye and Luo Yang glanced at each other, both worried.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the steepest place on the north slope: "Luo Shuai, it seems to be an avalanche there?" ”

When everyone looked around, they saw that a large amount of snow had indeed slipped down the mountain.

But the speed is not fast, compared to an avalanche, it is more like the snow has been hit by something and has slipped down the slope.

"It's not an avalanche, it's terrifying, you can hear a loud noise, and the snow will fall widely, so fast that you can't dodge." Bo Ye is worthy of being a military advisor, well-read and strong, and has seen a lot of the world.

Luo Hao said: "Could it be that the person we want to answer fell from the mountain?" ”

"Huh?"

Luo Yang frowned, and immediately signaled, "Go and have a look." ”

"Yes." Luo Hao rode away, took a hundred cavalry, and rushed towards the snowy slope that was sliding down the snow.

A moment later, a cavalryman waved a flag from a distance.

A general was overjoyed: "Luo Shuai, there is a discovery!" ”

"Go, dig up the snow, see people alive, and see corpses when you die...... Goods, in particular, must be found! ”

Not long after, Luo Hao came back.

"Brother, a horse corpse has been found, but the goods have been spilled, and the brothers are digging for it."

"Be sure to find it!" Luo Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"What went wrong when they fell to the ground, this team set off so early, it was impossible for the direction of Lizhou to notice, how could they not take the north path, but fell down?"

Luo Yang was puzzled, he thought that he could win a thousand miles by strategizing.

Even in the face of that wizard, he was still confident.

But what he didn't expect was that luck was also very mysterious, and this team of Beiliang troops disguised as horse bandits was unlucky.

"Hurry up and send more people to dig!" Luo Yang ordered.

"Yes."

Thousands of people were ordered to go forward.

This digging is half a day.

When the soldiers brought back the few objects they had worked so hard to dig up and showed them to Luo Yang, his face softened a little.

"It's these things, in the news sent back by our people, there are atlases and descriptions, which are very consistent." Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could get the grain seeds, it would not be a failure.

The soldier who delivered the things said helplessly: "But general, these have different degrees of damage, can they still be useful?" ”

A few potatoes and sweet potatoes were all torn, and some were frozen.

Luo Yang was not confident anymore, so he had to say: "Let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor...... Look for it again. ”

"Send someone up the hill to look for it, and see if you can find more from the direction where our men fell."

So, thousands of people searched for paths to go up to higher places.

Until late at night, the soldiers who dug the snow suffered frostbite on their hands, and had to change a group of people to continue digging.

"Dashuai, I found some seeds."

The man who came back from the mountain, found a bag of seeds, and it seemed that he didn't know what it was.

"With it."

"Except for these seeds, I'm afraid that nothing else can be used, and I'm frostbitten." Bo Ye said helplessly.

Luo Hao came to report: "Brother, there has been no other harvest for an hour, do you still want to dig?" ”

Luo Yang glanced at it, collected the grain seeds and put them on the side, lying like crooked melons and cracked dates, a total of less than twenty catties.

He glanced worriedly in the direction of Snow Valley Pass.

Just in time, a couple of scouts returned.

"Tell the marshal, outside the Snow Valley Pass, a large number of Xia troops appeared, and some of them were suspected of being black dragon riders."

"Black Dragoon?" The hearts of the people hung in the air.

Bo Ye hurriedly said: "Marshal, the soldiers are tired after digging for a long time, and fighting with the black dragon rider late at night is definitely not the best policy, so I suggest going back to Beiliang." ”

"......" Luo Yang sighed, "Just this little grain seed, if you want to spread out and plant, it will take at least five years or more......"

"This is also a very good harvest, we can't force it, and we are already gratifying to have such a victory this time." Bo Ye persuaded.

"Luo Hao reorganizes the whole army...... Strategist, would you like to go with Ben Shuai to meet the world's number one genius for a while? Luo Yang said with a smile.

Bo Ye: "The big marshal wants to attack?" ”

"No, it's just that the leader of the battle will be in front of the battle, and the army will retreat to the north, and they will not dare to chase too far without the emperor's order." Luo Yang said confidently.

"Then I'll go with the big handsome...... Bo Ye smiled, "The number one genius in the world, how can you not see one?" ”
