After passing Zhuyang Town, you will enter the Funiu Mountains.

This Funiu mountain area is rich in medicinal materials, there are more than 400 kinds of dendrobium, musk, gastrodia, Polygonum multiflori, eucommia, Xinyi, mountain firewood meat, Bupleurum and so on, can be described as a natural medicine storehouse, Chinese kiwifruit, tung oil, lacquer and other cash crops, rich in minerals, in addition to the abundant Nanyang jade, there are gold and silver, vanadium, sepioculite, graphite and so on. This mineral is the most concerned by Gaozhong, especially the vanadium pentoxide ore, which is an indispensable catalyst for the ammonia industry in the future. So when I arrived in this inner township, I reminded Gao Pet of the vanadium mine in this inner township.

After walking through the small hilly area, in the afternoon, the mountain in front of them suddenly became taller, and the sky seemed to be dark, and the scouts and guards in front and behind the arrangement of the high pet asked them to be cautious, and the two staff officers decoded the map of the area according to the arrangement. This Qinhuai Ancient Road is the only place to pass through Jinghu to Guanzhong, and if Gao Zhong wants to make a difference in the future, he must be prepared now.

Gao Pet's brigade had just entered the valley, and in front of it was Jingyanggang, although the alarm sounded the cannons, drill mountain rats, red fireworks exploded in this valley, and two grenade explosions were heard, it must be a very serious enemy attack.

"Dazhu, immediately send someone to find out what happened in front, and all vehicles will be concentrated in a ring, and it will be implemented according to the No. 2 defense plan."

Gao Pet sent Deng Yu into the center of the rim and let the two guards protect him. He also asked Zhao Yi to bring the people of the Deng family in, they have not been trained in this kind of emergency handling, and hope that they will not cause trouble. What needs to be known now is what exactly is happening ahead.

After a while, Dazhu rode over with the scouts. Now the scouts have gone three miles.

"Report, about 400 archers were found in ambush on both sides of the mountain in front, my teammate was hit by an arrow, cover me to come back and report, I don't know if I live or die."

At this time, Gao Shan, the platoon commander of the scout platoon, also rushed back to report the ambush situation in front.

"The mountains, the terrain of that area."

"It is reported that 1,000 paces from here is a valley with a long gorge, and the ridges on both sides are about 700 paces long and enclose the valley in the shape of a waist drum, and the valley is about fifty to seventy paces wide, and the ridge is about twenty feet high. It's all trees. ”

"Okay, Dazhu, you take a hundred men to attack the ridge from the outside of the ridge and press the ambushers into the valley, Zhao Yi, you take the quick counterattack battalion to attack from the valley on the left, and I will block them at the mouth of the valley and force them to go northwest. Execute it now. ”

"The Deng family and the Qian family are protecting the baggage in the convoy, and they are commanded by Boss Qian."

The guards of the Gao family took off their crossbows from their backs, took out their helmets from their backpacks, and bent down to sneak around, moving quickly. The people of the Deng family were dumbfounded, they had seen this kind of scene. Boss Qian patted Deng Yuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the enemy will come and go, you let your subordinates watch the movements here, don't act without permission, take care of your sister, don't have any accidents, you will complete the task." Qian Jichen saw too much of Gao Pet fighting in Jinzhai, and at first more than 20 people were worried in the woods, and then participated in the scene of Sandieling to catch Ding Li, and he trusted Gao Pet in every way.

"Don't get confused, let some of you load arrows with my guards." Except for five or six of the more than 20 guards of the Qian family, the others turned out arrows and arrow shafts from the sack and assembled them into a whole arrow. This is Nanyang's customized arrowhead and arrow shaft, and there is no time to assemble it. Qian Jichen asked the guards to be assembled so that they could support at any time.

Let's say that this Shen Changfeng failed in his last assassination, and the secret guard suffered heavy losses, and was scolded by his father. But he was not reconciled, and when he heard that Gao Pet went out of Nanyang to Guanzhong, he organized more than 100 soldiers at home to contact the thieves in the inner countryside to ambush Gao Pet's team. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by others before they entered the valley, and in order to extinguish their mouths, they wanted to secretly shoot the high-ranking scouts. But the Gao family's guards were not hit in the head and could basically not die, but let the family fight back and release a signal, and the ambush failed.

He also wanted to take advantage of the overwhelming number of people to attack, but was resisted by more than 30 people organized by the scout platoon, and blocked at the mouth of this valley. These more than 400 people did not have many archers, so they could not break through the defense of the scout platoon. When the support of the high pet arrived, it became weaker and weaker. When Dazhu arrived at the outer valley, he saw that there were more than 200 horses at the bottom of the valley, and more than a dozen people were guarding them, and Dazhu sent a team to deal with these people, and quickly touched the ridge.

You said that this high-level guard battalion is generally impulsive on the flat ground, and this mountain combat is even better. When they reached the pillar more than twenty paces away from the thieves, they didn't realize that after a flurry of arrows, only twenty or thirty of the hundred or so people left on the ridge were left, and they had to surrender. Zhao Yi on the other side had similar results to Dazhu. When they saw the signal of the big pillar, they pressed towards the mouth of the valley together. The battle was soon over.

Gao Zhong arranged to clean up the battlefield and recover the arrows, and asked Zhao Yi to take Ding Li and more than 100 people to clean up the thief's cottage.

Bring the captives back to the convoy for interrogation. Deng Yu, the fourth, the sixth, and the Deng family all surrounded them, and among the captives, they saw several prisoners of the Shen family, as well as the housekeeper of the Shen family among the captives.

This Deng Yu went up and slapped the housekeeper twice.

"You are not long-sighted, even the people of my Deng family dare to assassinate and ambush, I will cut you and the Shen family into a thousand knives." This Deng Yu's anger is not in one place, and this high-ranking thing is all because of herself, so that she sees that people are half shorter, as if her eight characters are the life of people.

"Miss Deng, it's not that I, Shen Leopard, are evil, it's just that we are subordinates, and we dare not disobey the orders of the lord. Please have mercy on the young lady. ”

This high pet is also angry:

"I am highly favored and have a grudge against your Shen family, I don't know that Shen Changfeng of your family. You want to chase me like this, first besiege the store and deceive me, I almost went to prison, then assassination, almost became a hedgehog, this time it was an ambush and what do you want to do to me? I don't pay attention to it, you think I'm a good bully, it's endless, and it's really not long-sighted, Sun Ziyun: Only by knowing the other side can you win a hundred battles, you don't know me, how can you be so confident that you can kill me? This kind of insight is not worthy of being my opponent. Okay, I won't kill you, you go back and tell your family that Changfeng, if you dare to act rashly, wash your neck and wait for me to come back. With that, he let him go.

The Shen family's behavior of colluding with robbers, as well as fraud and assassination, is already despised by the family, depending on how they live in Nanyang. This time, in addition to going back to a housekeeper, more than 100 disciples in the family have either become the souls of the arrows of the high-favored Flying Tiger Army, or they have become the captives of the high-favored Flying Tigers. The pressure within the clan will also make Shen Changfeng's father and son unsightly. Regardless of the outcome, Gao Pet will not care.

There were not many thieves in Zhao Yi's cottage, only forty or fifty people and a group of women and children left, Zhao Yi transported all the treasures and grain of the cottage back, and there were more than a dozen foals, and the cottage was burned afterwards.

There are more than 100 taels of gold in the cottage, more than 3,000 taels of silver, and two big cars of copper coins. Gao Zhong arranged a platoon of more than 30 people to send the horses, the prisoners, and more than a dozen seriously wounded and some captured to Nanyang, and then transfer them from the Deng family to the mall.

Deng Yuan also sent four people home to assist the Gao family in handling these affairs.

The losses of the scouts this time were relatively large, mainly because the scout team resisted the impact of nearly 200 people in more than a quarter of an hour, coupled with the cold arrow shooting of the thieves in the early stage, these more than 10 people were injured in this way. But it also made a great contribution. The scouts are all treasures, but fortunately, although they were seriously injured, they did not die. Zhao Yi wrote down everyone's exploits, and they could go back and reward them together.

The Deng family has seen it, this battle is like a player's family to this high pet, and they haven't finished their words yet. The Shen family and more than 400 thieves are all finished. The matchmaker, chattering endlessly. There is nothing they don't want about on the high-pet guards. The eight-fold telescope allows you to see very clearly from afar. Only Deng Yu looked at this high pet who didn't know if it was his brother or his younger brother, and her heart became more and more happy.

The baptism of war always makes people grow up quickly, and the cooperation of the guard battalion is becoming more and more skillful, and the scout battalion has fewer than ten people, which does not make people feel short of manpower. Even the people of the Deng family obeyed Zhao Yilu's training and teachings and worked very hard.

Gao Chong originally wanted to spend the night in Baiyuyi (Xixia), the county of this inner township, but because of the war, he had to camp on the spot.
