Yan'an Mansion, Qilian Mountain.

Northwest to southeast, east to west length of about 800 kilometers, north to south width of 200-400 kilometers, altitude of more than 4,000 meters, thousands of miles of land, including all the types of vegetation that temperate climate have, the whole mountain range belongs to the joint jurisdiction of Yan'an and Qinghai Prefecture.

At the foot of the mountain is still grassland, but the top of the mountain is covered with snow.

Six of the two prefectures intersected with each other, connected to the Hexi Corridor, where Turkic and Yuan armies roamed and plundered the surrounding villages.

It is also this special environment that has created a fierce folk customs here, and everyone is not afraid of death, and everyone is a hero.

In Yan'an Mansion, Jiang Ning walked from the mountain road, under the blue sky in front of him, the goshawk was constantly circling in the air, as if it was the hunter's own prey, not far from the black mountain, several jackals swooped down from the mountain and plunged into the rocks.

Between the mountains and mountains, there are 100,000 mountains in front of them, one after another, one after another, one is higher than the other, after the blue sky, there are white clouds connected with the snow mountains, majestic and frightening, a big river Hengchen is not far away, the turbulent river is black, a few deer are still drinking water by the river, looking up at Jiangning a few times, still unhurriedly lowered their heads.

The fierce and biting cold wind roared from the mountain, directly penetrated the clothes on his body, and drilled out from the middle of the bones, and a cold from the inside out made Jiang Ning, who was wearing cotton clothes, feel piercing.

The blades in the hands of the men and horses behind him also became extremely bright, and when they touched it, they let out a low moan.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh, the soldiers of the Turkic and Yuan Dynasty trained and fought in this environment every day, and their quality was not strong, and these people behind him were also trained for three months, and the training methods were also very scientific, even so, there were still some people with altitude sickness, although it was not strong, but it was there after all.

If you leave a person here, I don't know if you'll survive one night.

Jiang Ning thought about it, and looked at these peaks.

The mountain peak in front of you is the South Mountain of the Corridor, with strange rocks, cliffs, snow-capped peaks, and then Leng Longling and Tuonan Mountain.

Further west of Tuonan Mountain is the Huangying Village where Cheng Jinyun is located, which is located on the top of a mountain called Dahuangshan.

The Great Yellow Mountain is not big, because compared with other peaks, it is not enough in terms of altitude or volume, it is not small, because its geographical location is extremely special, it is the only way to connect the South Mountain of the Corridor and the North Mountain of the Corridor, whether the people of the Xia Dynasty want to go out and do business with the Turks in Hexi, or some of the Turkic goods want to enter the market of the Xia Dynasty, they have to pass through here.

Under the guidance of Jiang Ning, Huang Yingzhai started the business of a "security company", responsible for the front and back points, earning the price difference from it, ensuring the smooth circulation of goods, and making a lot of money in the past two years, and the living conditions have also been greatly improved, and some small forces around him have also tried their best to rely on Huang Yingzhai.

Now this advantage has become their fatal drawback, and it has become a sweet spot in the eyes of the Liang gang of Manichaeism and Tian Hu represented by Deng Yuanjue.

"I didn't expect that the environment of this Qilian Mountain is so bad, it can be seen that those people of the Turkic and Yuan Dynasty survive and fight in this environment all day long, and their combat effectiveness must be very different from what they want to compare." Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion, even he and Pang Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable.

Pang Qingyun narrowed his eyes, the strong sunlight had already made his skin begin to turn black, fighting in this environment was even more of an experience.

The caravan of 1,200 people, marching towards the mountain, had just appeared at the foot of the mountain, the clouds dissipated, and the sun was shining, as if to take care of all these people cleanly, naked.

From a distance, these peaks are all majestic and magnificent, but when you really reach the foot of the mountain, you can see that the goshawks are circling, the wild beasts are running, the mountain wind is howling, and the cold wind blows away the warmth of the sun, and there is a sense of despair.

Fortunately, the atmosphere is not bad, slow down a little, and go towards Dahuangshan unhurriedly.

"Did you find out? What kind of goods are these people carrying? A thin, middle-aged man with a goatee rode on a horse, standing on the top of the hill and squinting at the slowly moving convoy not far away.

The minions behind him stepped forward and reported: "I found out clearly, this group of people is a merchant from Yan'an Mansion, and they bought a batch of grain and grass in Yan'an Mansion, and the informant reported that they were all escorting large boxes, the boxes were very heavy, and the things should be very good." ”

"I don't know what it is?" The man asked with a sideways face.

A burly man behind him said: "This group of people watched it tightly, I sent someone to check it yesterday, and it was almost discovered, the leader with a hook and sickle should be a bodyguard, and the carriage in the middle should be the owner of this cargo, let's just rush down and rob it, no matter what he does." ”

These two people are the current gang leaders of the small company gang on the mountain, Zhang Shunyi and his subordinate general Ran Qiu.

Zhang Shunyi was the first to join Deng Yuanjue's Manichaeism, and the reason is extremely simple, with 1,500 people, he is not Deng Yuanjue's opponent at all, after Deng Yuanjue went up the mountain, he met with Nangong Wan, and directly chose to surrender, occupying the territory of Nanshan at the moment, and also acting as Deng Yuanjue's eyeliner.

The convoy entered Nanshan for three days, walked nearly sixty miles of mountain roads, yesterday to try, but did not get any useful clues, today from Yan'an Mansion back to the people report, this group of caravans from the south, has nothing to do with the imperial court, this is also relieved.

"It's a big deal to push it to the Turks, even the imperial court can't do anything about us." Ran Qiu continued: "I will lead five hundred men and horses first, rush down the hillside in front, and directly cut off the waist, so that they can't take care of each other, big brother, don't look at these people, they are just merchants, and they have no combat effectiveness." ”

"Okay, just as you say." Zhang Shunyi smiled slightly and touched his beard.

You must know that a team of more than a dozen people robbed a caravan of more than 100 people, which can basically be said to be zero loss, and although this team has a large number of people, they are all powerless, and more than 500 people are enough.

Ran Qiu pointed the spear in his hand at the sky: "Brothers, come with me......"

The five hundred men and horses behind him rushed forward along the mountain road, and when they reached the middle of the team at the bottom of the mountain, Ran Qiu roared loudly, and rushed down with a spear.

The second regiment in the middle of the "vigilant ......" was the team led by Hu Zhengwen, and he was the first to see the bandits rushing down from the hillside, and at the top of the mountain, there was a dense team of hundreds of people.

The team stopped, the second regiment faced the group of bandits, and the third regiment behind them led the men and horses to pass quickly, and the second regiment became the last team.

At this moment, Ran Qiu is only 1,500 meters away from Hu Zhengwen, if it is normal, this distance cannot be said to be close, but this is on the mountain, Ran Qiu swooped down, the speed of the cavalry was exerted to the extreme, more than 100 cavalry brandished this long knife, shouting trumpets and roaring, the general infantry had to avoid its edge when they saw it, but Hu Zhengwen chose to take the initiative to step forward.

A distance of 100 meters is enough for them to react and adjust.

The "array...... "400 people formed a small formation of thirty people, and thirty repeater crossbows were directly loaded and taken off from their waists.
