Chapter 55: The Sweep of Ma An Mountain (2)

"Karun, next time you see me, walk around."

Mu Yu'an stared at Karun's retreating back, his cold and arrogant eyes revealing a sense of disdain.

"Mu Shuai suffered 2,000 casualties and killed about 15,000 enemies."

At this moment, a full-time soldier stepped forward and knelt down to report on the casualties with an excited expression.

Mu Yu'an was secretly frightened, the soldiers led by Uncle You were really the elite of the elite of Nanzhao, and the Xiliang Army was slightly better than it.

"Clean up the battlefield and surround all the exits of Ma'an Mountain for me."

As soon as Mu Yu'an's words fell, hundreds of thousands of troops first surrounded the foot of the mountain, and the rest gradually went up the mountain, sweeping every corner, while the vanguard first explored the lair of these bandits.

Ma'an Mountain is located in the west of the border, stretching for dozens of miles, surrounded by mountains, the fog is boundless, not to mention looking for a group of bandits, that is, 100,000 troops are hiding in it, not a year and a half, you also want to find it.

Mu Yu An'an looked at the mountains in front of him, and he was magnificent.

"So many mountains, where to start?" Mu Yu'an asked the people around her.

The more familiar with the terrain in the mountains was a fifty-year-old man, not very old, probably because of the long-term hunting in the surrounding area, he looked strong and sophisticated, dark and thin.

"My lord, under the mountain nest in front of this, there is a fork in the road, one is up the mountain, the other is to the east to the Xiongnu, there are also several intersections there, you can go up the mountain, leading to the main peak of Dalong Mountain, there are only two roads, one is in front of you, and there is also in the north of the mountain."

"Do you know the location?" Mu Yu'an asked.

"This old man really doesn't know, but the old man knows that there is more than one gang of bandits in this gang, and there are three or four bandit dens large and small."

Mu Yu'an didn't expect a hunting company to know about this specific situation, greet everyone, and discuss specific countermeasures.

Mu Yu'an means that if you fight steadily and move forward slowly, there will always be results from one mountain to another, so that it is safe and will not scatter the troops. But it took too long, and so many people swaggered into the mountains, if the bandits found them first, and were prepared, there would only be two results, either they would be ambushed, or by the time they found them, the building would have been empty.

On a mountain path, four young and strong men were pushing a wheelbarrow with great effort, and there was a stream flowing through the road on the mountain, causing the road to be extremely slippery, and several people took a lot of effort to push the cart out.

"Made, the three masters are really eccentric, stay in the city and live happily, let us do the hard work."

"Talk less nonsense and save some strength to push the cart." Another, a few years older, shouted.

Just around the corner, the kid who was complaining just now said, "I'm going to pee in the woods." ”

Another person said with contempt, "You are so lazy that you pee a lot, and when it is your turn to pee on the cart, how many times have you urinated along the way." After saying that, he took the wheelbarrow.

"Hehe, I wasn't too tired last night, a little empty, I'll go back."

The older ones, seeing that it is not a way to go on like this, the brothers in the village are still waiting for this bag of salt to go to the pot, and then go back later, I am afraid that everyone will be blamed, and said to the other two, "Forget him, let's go first, let him go back with him." ”

After hearing this, the man with the cart picked up the cart and pushed it up.

As soon as he saw a pine tree, he began to untie his trousers, and when he turned back, he saw that he could not see it when he was far away, so he put down his robe again, and fell on the edge of the tree, ready to rest for a while, and then go back.

Squinting and squinting, there was a small voice in his ears, although the voice was very small, but it was still heard carefully by the forest, this forest is so quiet, it is difficult to hear it.

"But I'm tired, this broken mountain is really big, when will this be found."

"I haven't seen the ghost shadow, I haven't seen the bandits coming down the mountain for a long time, if you want me to say, are they already breaking up?"

"That's a good dare, you don't have to fight, you can still have white silver, hehe."

Another rough and rugged voice said, "Look at the two of you, there are no bandits for us, where is the opportunity for meritorious service." ”

"Do you know that meritorious service, meritorious service, is this bandit so easy to suppress?"

Mu Yu'an summoned one-third of the officers and soldiers of the prefect's government to come over.

Lin carefully listened to the word bandit, a clever one, quickly lay down in the grass, the voice became clearer and clearer, Lin Shen was extremely nervous at this time, holding his breath, his vest was soaked, and he prayed that the gods and Buddhas would bless him from being discovered.

As the sound faded away, he pulled up his legs and ran towards the cottage.

At this time, the large army had only reached the halfway point of the mountain, and a thousand commanders were tired and couldn't bear it, so he found a stump to sit on, and said to Li Guangcheng beside him, "Captain Li, your physical strength is really good, when you go back this time, can you teach me how you usually practice." ”

Li Guangcheng looked at the road ahead, "The sun is about to go down, and the fog is starting to rise in the forest, Mu Shuai, let's get up quickly and find a place with a better sight to set up camp." ”

The man pursed his lips after hearing this, "You don't need to say this, I ask you, do you teach or not." ”

"Teach and teach, teach you for three days!" Li Guangcheng said impatiently.

"Why, could I have studied in three days? Alas, did you also find that my bones are amazing, especially suitable for martial arts. The commander was still curious.

"Mengwu, because you can only hold out for three days." After saying that, get up and walk forward.

"My lord, a few of my spies came back, saying that they were on the next hill and found three men with carts, who looked like bandits." This is a soldier in charge of reconnaissance who came to Li Guangcheng's side and said.

"Which direction?" Mu Yu'an hurriedly asked.

"It's not the direction of the main peak, it's the mountain next door." The soldier pointed to a mountain peak in the distance.

"Mu Shuai, it's not appropriate to attack when it's dark at this time, at this time, the terrain is unfamiliar, first set up camp and wait for tomorrow morning to directly fight this gang of bandits, and by the way, wait for other spies to come back."

Li Guangcheng heard that there were bandits found on the mountain peak in front of him, and the number was about three or four hundred, so he walked up to Mu Yu'an and said.

Mu Yu'an nodded, and then asked the large army to find a place with flat terrain and a wide line of sight and set up camp.

Nothing was said all night.

There were many mosquitoes in the wild at night, Mu Yu'an couldn't sleep, and saw that the sky in the distance was slightly bright, so he simply got up and summoned all the commanders to discuss, Xiao Jin wanted to know the news of the main peak the most, but no spy came back with news, and told Xiao Jian about his worries.

"This gang of bandits is not simple, so many people spread out, and there is no news at all."

Everyone packed up and walked on foot, hunched over, shuttling between the mountains.

Coming to the bottom of a stone peak, the middle-aged hunter pointed to the peak in front of him and said, "I heard from the other hunters in the village, this bandit's den may be behind those two huge boulders. “

Mu Yu'an looked at it from afar and said to everyone, "The bandits use the boulder as the door, and the cliff behind it is a unique place, easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Then he asked the commanders, "How do you say this battle will be fought?" ”

Meng Wu grinned and said, "No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, let's rush over now and kill him by surprise, they are not prepared, and they can only be beaten, blocking the door, not a single fly can run away, haha." ”

Mu Yu'an also knew that it was a waste of time to say anything now, there was only one way up the mountain, and the only way to go up the mountain was to block the walled gate, and the two sides were shaken.

"Meng Wu is full of recruits, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the position, Captain Li, you lead people to take the lead, this battle must be resolved quickly, the time has been delayed for a long time, so that the bandits on the main peak are prepared, and we will fall into passivity."

Li Guangcheng clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

The typical Kot landform here, there are a lot of mountains and rocks, it is extremely difficult to walk, Li Guangcheng was afraid that someone would ambush him, so he asked everyone to walk slowly along the stone wall.

All the musketeers had gone up to the pole, and they had walked all the way to the top of the hill, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

Between the two boulders, there is a gate with three big black characters written on it, "Black Dragon Village." ”

Meng Wu didn't say hello, and rushed to the gate with people first, and Li Guangcheng pressed back with musketeers and surrounded the entire gate.

Li Guangcheng was most worried about being ambushed, but now that he had arrived safely in front of the village, he let go of his hanging heart.

When I got closer, I saw Meng Wu shouting inside, but no one responded for a long time.

Mu Yu'an was careful and noticed that something was wrong, and said with slightly narrowed pupils, "I'm afraid this stockade is empty." ”

"What? Empty. I didn't dare to believe Mu Yu'an's words, so I ran to the gate of the village and looked inside, sure enough, the soldiers blocked the gate of the village, and Meng Wu shouted for so long, even if the reaction was slow, it was impossible for no one to respond.

Meng Wu also found out, grabbed his head and said, "Did you know that we were here and ran away?" ”

Li Guangcheng didn't speak, pushed open the gate of the village, walked in, Meng Wu immediately followed, and the two walked in the cottage, silent.

Turning his head to look at Li Guangcheng, "What about your brother who reported the news." ”

"There are four of them on this mountain, and there are three that I don't know where to go."

"My lord, the little one saw someone pushing the cart yesterday, and my four brothers quietly followed them all the way here, and I came back first, and I didn't find any movement of the bandits when I left."

Meng Wu did not doubt that he had him, and said to Li Guangcheng with his fists, "Captain Li, they must have discovered our whereabouts in the morning and ran away." ”

Li Guangcheng nodded, "It's possible, these bandits have been hovering here for a long time, and there can't be no sentries on the mountain." "After that, I went in first.

Meng Wu came to a place where the Juyi Hall was written in front of the door, found a stool to make it, and found that the room was neat and orderly, frowning and feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while, and when he left the Juyi Hall, he saw Mu Yu'an coming.

"Mu Shuai, this harvest is rich, although the bandits ran away, but they may be in a hurry, so there are a few boxes of silver left for us in the warehouse, haha."

Meng Wu turned his head to look at Li Guangcheng again, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
