Ning Yue led the army forward, and when he saw a mountain range in the distance, he ordered to camp and rest, the lair of the four thieves was in this mountain range, and now just by looking at it, you can see that the mountain road is tortuous, steep and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ning Yue felt that he was not good at leading soldiers and horses, so he asked Luo Yanshi and other henchmen to study how to attack the mountains.

Ning Luo Yanshi is also no good way, this kind of terrain, often inconvenient to attack, if in order to reduce casualties, either to find some mountain paths for a sneak attack, or to plot against the big thieves and traitors, to give everyone the opportunity to break through the four thieves cottage.

Ning Yue immediately sent spies to find out if there was a dangerous way to raid the camp of the four thieves, and waited for a day or two, but he had no clue at all, but instead attracted the attention of the four thieves, and some of the spies were deployed by the four thieves in the mountains, and the useful information was collected less and less.

There was no way, Ning Yue still chose to lead the army to forcibly climb the mountain after a night of heavy rain on the third day.

At the beginning of the heavy rain in the mountains, the air is extremely fresh, and every breath makes people feel a cool breath.

Ning Yue led the army to march carefully in the mountains, although the mounts of the clouded leopard were replaced with bronze horses, but it was still difficult to march in clusters in such a steep mountain, so the army had to abandon the horses, place the mounts in the camp under the mountain, and go up the mountain to suppress bandits.

It is said that it is a military training, but all the clouded leopard riders know that this time the thieves who were ordered to clean up have been crisscrossing the border between Daxia and Qianguo for I don't know how many years, and one of them will lose their lives if they are not careful, so they are all cautious.

Luo Yanshi was about to face a battle, and the whole person became excited, and personally took a few spies to tirelessly gallop back and forth in the mountains, so as to quickly spread the news of the four thieves to Ning Yue's side.

This time, the spies who followed him were all personally selected by him, and almost every one of them was armed to the teeth, and at the very least, they had condensed the first-order Void Phase Elite Soldiers, so the speed at which the information was transmitted back was extremely fast.

But just when Ning Yue rode with thousands of clouded leopards, not long after he was in the mountains today, he saw Luo Yanshi covered in blood, and rushed back from the front with a calm face, and when he saw Ning Yue, he reported in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates have met with the people from the four thieves, and the people over there are extremely good at fighting in this mountain, and the people from our side are fighting with them in the mountains, and they don't have an advantage at all." ”

Ning Yue looked at the blood stains on Luo Yanshi's body, and found that most of them were other people's blood, and behind Luo Yanshi, seven of the ten spies only came back, and it seemed that the other three should not come back.

Ning Yue's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, and he ordered to stop marching for the time being.

Luo Yanshi has the strength of the fourth-order void phase, but not only was he injured, but the elite soldiers who condensed the first-order void phase followed by his subordinates were also broken by three, which all showed that the strength of the four thieves could not be underestimated, even with the strength of the clouded leopard spirit horse, it was not necessarily possible to gain the upper hand in the battle with the four thieves in the mountains after leaving the mount.

Just as Ning Yue was thinking, several bowstring vibrations sounded in the mountains.

"Enemy attack!"

Ning Yue shouted a warning, but it was too late, hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from the large forest in the mountains, and the soldiers on the outer layer were unprepared and were shot to the ground.

Luo Yanshi shouted loudly, and loudly ordered the clouded leopard to ride in a formation to defend, but the arrows in the forest shot more urgently, each arrow was attached to a very strong soul power, with the elite soldiers trained by the military town, they actually faced some arrows, even if they held a shield, they were powerless to defend, and after the fine iron shield was shot by the soul power, it was blown to pieces, affecting more soldiers around him to be injured.

Seeing this, Ning Yue immediately summoned the six-headed three-armed elephant head void phase, and the huge void phase immediately covered an area of hundreds of square meters, protecting a large area of clouded leopards under the void phase, and after resisting a wave of arrow rain, he even swung his fist and directly blasted the surrounding large areas of trees to the roots.

There was a scream coming from the forest, and several figures appeared from the forest in which Ning Yue's six-armed three-headed elephant monster was bombarded, but more and faster arrows continued to shoot out from the surrounding forests, and after catching Ning Yue's side by surprise, they were ready to continue to use sharp arrows in the shadows to expand the results.

After the rain in the mountains, Ning Yue urged the six-armed three-headed elephant to knock down a large area of woods, and then called the Thousands of Miles of Smoke and Cloud Beasts to attract the clouds and mist around the army, reducing the visual range of the archers in the forest, and taking the opportunity to order the soldiers to rush into the surrounding forests.

However, the great thief archers in the mountains have obviously long been familiar with this way of fighting, no matter how many people the clouded leopard rider has, with their familiarity with the mountains and forests, a sharp sword is still shot out of the forest like a poisonous snake with sharp teeth, even if occasionally the archers die under the counterattack of the clouded leopard rider, but the casualties on the clouded leopard rider's side are greater.

After all, Ning Yue still couldn't bear to let more clouded leopards ride here, urging the Thousands of Miles of Smoke Cloud Beasts to cover with all their might, and ordered a retreat.

The clouded leopard rode back to the camp to rest, Ning Yue summed up the experience of having to withdraw the army this time, and next time he just took a small group of elite soldiers to explore the mountain in advance, but the four thieves also sent elite battles, so the clouded leopard cavalry still had to withdraw his troops out of the mountain.

After that, Ning Yue discussed with Luo Yanshi and others again, and tried to attack a few times in different ways, but he was still counterattacked by the four thieves, and he still returned with a feather.

Ning Yue saw that the clouded leopard riders were seriously damaged, so he could only order the main passage to be held at the foot of the mountain first, and then do what he thought.

Outside the mountain, Ning Yue was sure that the cavalry of the clouded leopard cavalry would have the advantage, and sent people to roam around the entire mountain, if they found that the four thieves were coming down the mountain, they would gather troops to attack, but the four thieves seemed to have become a porcupine with arrows erected, just defending in the mountains, and they were not out of the mountain.

Ning Yue's spies quickly collected useful information, the four thieves had been operating in this mountain range for many years, and every year they collected a large amount of grain and grass from nearby villages, according to this way of hoarding grain and grass, the grain and grass on the mountain was enough to ensure that thousands of bandits could live for several years, so they were not afraid of the siege of the army at all.

Ning Yue suddenly hesitated, although he was well prepared for this march, it was only enough for the army to hold out for a few months, if he held on to the four thieves like this, he would not have an advantage at all.

Luo Yanshi and the others were also helpless, usually elite soldiers like clouded leopard riders suppressed bandits, even if they encountered thieves who were several times the number of soldiers, they would not be able to exterminate them in more than a month.

However, no one expected that the four thieves would be so difficult, with their familiarity with the stretching mountain range where they were hiding, they exerted their combat power no less than that of the clouded leopard cavalry, and they could cause great damage to the clouded leopard cavalry, and now they have hoarded enough food to completely arrange the army to surround the mountain.

Ning Yue thought about it, and suddenly looked at the stretching mountain range hidden by the four thieves' cottages, the gloom in his expression disappeared completely, and he suddenly smiled: "Since you have enough grain and grass to confront my army around the mountain, I just need to get enough grain and grass, if I aim to suppress the bandits here and do not return, I can just avoid the usurpation of the throne on the Qilin City side, this is a good thing!"
