Xue Yile and the others crossed the Yangguan Pass and caught the tail of the horse thief again.

This time the horse thief was in a hurry, only snatched some food and water, there were not many people killed in the oasis, but these herdsmen had already been frightened, I heard that the disciples of Huashan were chasing and killing the horse thief, and the family sent food and water.

Zhang Yiqiang and the others carefully examined the traces left by the horse thieves and looked at the towering mountains to the south.

"The brutes went south, and for two days they couldn't get far. ”

Xue Yile looked at the unkempt faces of the juniors, although they had lost a lot of weight, but their eyes were shining, their mental state remained good, and they nodded with satisfaction.

These junior disciples are physically strong, their internal strength is not weak, since they came out of the plug, relying on a pair of legs, they have shortened the distance with the horse thieves step by step, which is still to find the traces of the horse thieves, it takes a lot of time, if there is no delay, these junior brothers can make all the horse thieves' horses run to death in one day.

"Rest for an hour and inform the senior brothers in the back. ”

A hundred miles behind Xue Yile, Yang Yijian took the other two teams of disciples, followed closely, and swept the trackers for the front team.

Several disciples of the Information Hall and the Foreign Affairs Hall transmitted messages back and forth between the two teams, plus the outer disciples who carried the burden and led the way, the Huashan disciples who chased out of the desert this time actually had nearly fifty people.

A day later, the Huashan disciples entered the plateau and chased after the horse thief for a day's journey.

Two days later, the Huashan disciple had already hung behind the horse thief, followed unhurriedly, and watched the horse thief enter a valley from a distance.

"Tianquan Valley"

"It is three miles wide and about ten miles deep, and there is a spring in it, which flows all year round, forming a small lake, so that there are some trees and wild grasses in it. ”

"But there was no other way in the valley, and if you wanted to go east, you had to climb over the mountains that stretched for a hundred and ten miles. The guide disciple explained.

Xue Yile and Yang Yijian glanced at each other: This is the battlefield chosen by the Songshan faction.

Xue Yile and Yang Yijian climbed up the mountainside on the side of the valley, looking at it from a distance, there are not many trees in the valley, it is unusually flat, and the area is also spacious, which is very suitable for galloping horses, and the horse thieves are piling up a pile in the east and a pile in the west, and they are making a fire to cook, but the horses and weapons are not far away, and they obviously know that the fight is imminent, and the atmosphere is a little dull.

Both of them are experienced people, and just by looking at them, they can see that the number of horse thieves in them is at least hundreds, and there must be about four hundred and five.

The trees here are low, there is no hiding place, and the people from the Songshan faction can only hide among the horse thieves.

Optimistic about the terrain, the two returned to the outside of the valley and summoned the leaders of the other four teams, Zhang Yiqiang, Xiao Yilin, Zhang Yibin, and Guo Yiwei, and described the scene inside in detail.

"Entering along the side of the valley, we take the least amount of impact, and the threat of ordinary horse thieves can be minimized. Zhang Yibin suggested.

Yang Yijian shook his head and said: "In this way, let the road go, the horse thief will see that the momentum is not right, he will definitely turn around and run away, and he will have to continue to add, the night is long and there are many dreams, and they must be killed in one battle." ”

Most of these horse thieves participated in the slaughter of the caravan, and all of them were stained with the blood of Huashan disciples, and the head of the family had an order, and none of them could be let go.

"In this way, you can only attack head-on, more than 400 horses, and when you hit it, the power is not small!" Guo Yiwei frowned and said.

Several of them are disciples of the Yi Zi generation in the previous periods, and they have known each other for more than 20 years, so they are extremely familiar, and they have no scruples about talking to each other.

Yang Yijian nodded, if it was an ordinary horse thief, Huashan disciples could kill them all with more than forty longbows, but this horse thief was different.

Among the horse thieves, the core elements are the disciples and grandchildren of the tabula rasa star, and their martial arts are not weak, and it is almost impossible to attack them from afar with bows and arrows.

What's more, there must be many masters sent by the Songshan faction inside, the number is unknown, but the martial arts must not be bad, and the results of the melee battle are uncertain, but the bow and arrow attack from a distance will definitely not hurt them.

But even so, the disciples of the Huashan Sect also carried more than 2,000 feather arrows, just to deal with ordinary horse thieves.

The four of them discussed for a while, and in the end, they could only attack head-on.

This is also the result of the calculation of the Songshan faction, which did not leave any chance for the Huashan faction, and could only rely on strength to speak.

Although these disciples of the Huashan Sect are not bad in strength, almost all of them have the strength of second-rate masters, but in this battle, they dare not disperse the battle too much, so as not to be attacked by sneak attacks.

The first-class masters of the Songshan faction must be hidden in this team of horse thieves, and there must be more than one of them, if they carry out a sneak attack on the Huashan disciples who are busy killing horse thieves, they will kill one by one.

After the discussion was completed, Xue Yile looked at the sky, it was almost the end of noon, and ordered: "Let the senior brothers take Gu Yuan Dan, breathe for half an hour, and start attacking before the time." ”

Although the brothers and sisters are still in good spirits, in the past half month, they have been running hundreds of miles in the wilderness and desert every day, eating and drinking is only to maintain the lowest level, and their physical functions have been reduced.

Guyuan Pill is extremely precious, it is the pill of Guben Peiyuan newly refined by Huashan, this time, each disciple gets one, and it is appropriate to take it at this time.

Xue Yile gave an order, and more than forty Huashan disciples removed all the sundries on their bodies, leaving only their weapons by their side, simply ate some food, swallowed the pill, and breathed cross-legged on the spot, while Yang Yijian and a few others wandered around on guard.

Two hidden eyes on the top of the mountain looked at the Huashan disciples outside the valley, observing the movement in the distance.

"There's no one behind, it's all in there, but I don't know how many first-class masters are hidden......"

"Then Yang Yijian and Xue Yile are in the bright place, and they are raided......

"Okay, let's go down and make arrangements, at most an hour, it's going to be ......"

The two quickly returned to the valley and integrated into the horse thieves.

Half an hour later, the Huashan disciples stood up one after another, carrying swords and quivers, with flying knives, short swords, hand axes, iron needles and other close-range attack weapons inserted in their waists, holding bows in their left hands, and every eleven people gathered in a team and strode towards the valley.

Most of these Huashan disciples are between the ages of 25 and 30, and although they live in the weakest period of Huashan's strength, they are the most well-educated, broad-minded, and solid-foundation disciples among the disciples of Huashan in all generations.

Some genius disciples have been promoted to first-class in strength, and others are also at the level of second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, and they have been baptized by the aura of Huashan, honed in the open sea or in various gangs, all of them are strong and have rich experience in fighting.

But they have never appeared in the field of vision of the Jianghu people on a large scale, and now, it is the first time.

It's just that there is no large-scale confrontation with the Demon Sect, but it is hard against the Songshan faction, which is really a bit ironic.

Forty-four Huashan disciples, strutting their heads, performed the Golden Goose Gong, and quickly entered the valley.

The other five Huashan disciples collected many packages and stacked them on the side of the valley, and they all took out bows and arrows, scattered all over the mouth of the valley, ready to intercept and kill the horse thieves who accidentally rushed out of the valley.

At the same time, the horse thieves in the valley also got the news, and they all got on their horses, divided into dozens of squads, scattered and covered each other, and began to ride their horses and walk towards the mouth of the valley.

The ground of the valley began to shake regularly, and the frequency of the horse thieves' movements gradually converged, and the speed gradually increased, and the muffled thunderous sound gradually increased.

The birds in the valley flew up and fled, and the little animals panicked and let out a terrible cry, dragging their children and daughters to the peaks on both sides.

Forty-four Huashan disciples, dressed in moon-white Huashan robes that had almost turned gray, covered their heads and faces, lined up in a line, and quickly entered the valley four miles, standing on their heels.

Forty-four right hands, at the same time, drew feathered arrows from their right shoulders, rested on the longbowstring, and looked coldly at the galloping horse thief.

From a distance, it looks like a small mound, blocked in front of the surging torrent.
