Ning Yue led his army forward. When he saw a stretched mountain ridge from afar, he ordered camping and rest. The nests of the four thieves were in this mountain ridge. Now, just by looking at it, you can see that the roads between the mountains are tortuous, steep and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ning Yue felt that he was not good at leading troops, so he asked Luo Yanshi and other confidants for advice on how to attack mountains.

Ning Luo Yanshi also has no good idea. This kind of terrain is often inconvenient to attack. If it is to reduce casualties, it either looks for some mountain paths to attack or instigate the thieves and traitors, giving everyone the opportunity to break through the four thieves' parables.

The four major thieves were unable to start, so Ning Yue immediately sent spies to inquire about whether there was a dangerous way to raid the four major thieves camps. After waiting for a day or two, he was completely confused. Instead, he attracted the attention of the four major thieves. Some spies were deployed and destroyed in the mountains by the four major thieves, and fewer and fewer useful information were collected.

There was no choice, Ning Yue chose to lead his army to climb the mountain after a heavy rain on the third day.

The heavy rain in the mountains has just stopped, and the air is extremely fresh. Every breath makes people feel a coolness in their breath.

Ning Yue led his army to march carefully in the mountains. Although the mounts of the Yunleopard Cavalry were replaced with bronze horses, it was still difficult to move in groups in such a steep mountain, so the army had to abandon the horses and place the mounts in camps at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain to suppress bandits.

It is said to be a training force, but all the Yunleopard cavalry knew that the thieves who came to clear out this time had been crossing the borders of Daxia and Qian Kingdom for countless years. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives, so they were all careful.

Luo Yanshi was about to face the battle, and he became excited. He personally took a few spies and ran tirelessly in the mountains, so as to quickly pass the news of the four thieves' copycat back to Ning Yue.

This time, he personally selected the spies he followed. Almost each of them was armed to his teeth, and at the lowest level, it was condensed with the first-level virtual elite soldiers, so the information was transmitted back very quickly.

But just when Ning Yue brought thousands of clouded leopard cavalry, not long after the mountain today, Luo Yanshi was covered in blood and rushed back from the front with a calm face. When he saw Ning Yue, he whispered: "Sir, I met the people from the four thieves. The people there were very good at fighting in this mountain. Our people here fought against them in the mountains and did not have any advantage at all."

Ning Yue looked at the blood on Luo Yanshi's body and found that most of it was the blood of others. Behind Luo Yanshi, only seven of the ten spies came back. It seemed that the other three should not be able to come back.

Ning Yue's brows couldn't help but frowned tightly and ordered the temporary stop to move.

Luo Yanshi has the strength of the fourth-level Void Cast, but not only was he injured, but he also lost three elite soldiers who condensed the first-level Void Cast, which all of which meant that the strength of the four thieves should not be underestimated. Even with the strength of the Cloud Leopard Elf Cast, he might not be able 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, a few sounds of shaking bowstrings suddenly sounded in the mountains.

"Enemy attack!"

Ning Yue shouted loudly, but it was too late. Hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from the large forest in the mountains. The outer area of ​​soldiers were all too unprepared and were shot to the ground.

Luo Yanshi shouted loudly and ordered the Cloud Leopard Cavalry to form a formation to defend, but the arrows in the forest were shot even more urgently. Each arrow was attached with extremely strong soul power. With the elite soldiers trained by the military town, they actually faced some arrows. Even if they held shields, they were unable to defend. After the elite iron shield was shot by soul power, they were blown up and shattered, affecting more soldiers around them.

Seeing this, Ning Yue immediately summoned the six-headed three-armed elephant monster. The huge virtual image immediately covered hundreds of square meters. He protected a large area of ​​clouded leopard cavalry under the virtual image. After resisting a wave of arrow rain, he even punched his fist and directly knocked down the surrounding large areas of trees.

A scream came from the forest, and several figures appeared from the forest where Ning Yue's six-armed three-headed elephant-headed monster was hit by the void, but more and faster arrows continued to shoot out from the surrounding forest. After catching Ning Yue's side off guard, he prepared to continue to use sharp arrows in the dark to expand the results.

After the rain in the mountains, the smoke and clouds lingered. Ning Yue activated the six-armed three-headed elephant monster to knock down a large area of ​​woods. He called the Wanli Smoke and Cloud Beast to attract the clouds and mists around the army, lowered the visible range of the archers in the forest, and took the opportunity to order the soldiers to rush into the surrounding forests.

However, the robbers in the mountains were obviously familiar with this fighting method. No matter how many people the Cloud Leopard Cavalry advanced, they took advantage of their familiarity with the mountains and forests and sharp swords were still shot out from the forest like viper teeth. Even if the archers occasionally died in the counterattack of the Cloud Leopard Cavalry, the casualties on the Cloud Leopard Cavalry were even greater.

After all, Ning Yue couldn't bear to let more cloud leopard cavalry trap here, and activated the Wanli Smoky Cloud Beast to cover it with all its strength and ordered a retreat.

When the Yunbao Cavalry returned to the camp for rest, Ning Yue summarized his experience of having to withdraw his troops this time. Next time, he only brought a small group of elite soldiers to investigate the mountain first. However, one of the four thieves also sent elite troops to fight, which forced the Yunbao Cavalry to withdraw his troops from the mountain.

After that, Ning Yue discussed with Luo Yanshi and others and tried to attack several times in different ways, but he was still hit by the counterattacks of each of the four major thieves and still returned in a defeat.

Seeing that the Yunleopard Cavalry was seriously damaged, Ning Yue had to order the main pathways at the foot of the mountain before he could do his best.

Outside the mountain, Ning Yue was sure that the cavalry of the Cloud Leopard Cavalry would have the advantage and sent people to surround the entire mountain. If the four thieves were found going down the mountain, they would gather troops to attack. However, the four thieves seemed to have turned into a porcupine with arrow hair raised, and they just defended themselves tightly in the mountains, and they would not leave the mountain range.

Ning Yue's spies quickly collected useful information. The four great thieves have been operating in this mountain range for many years, and every year they have collected a large amount of food and grass from nearby villages. By hoarding food and grass, the food and grass on the mountain are enough to ensure that thousands of bandits have lived for several years, so they are not afraid of the siege of the army.

Ning Yue suddenly felt hesitant. Although he was well prepared for this march, it was only enough for the army to last for several months. If he fought with the four thieves in this way, he would not have any advantage at all.

Luo Yanshi and others were helpless. They usually used elite soldiers like Yunbao Cavalry to suppress bandits. Even if they encountered thieves who were several times the number of soldiers, they would not take more than a month to wipe them out.

But no one expected that the four thieves would be so difficult. With their familiarity with the hiding Yanmian Mountains, they could exert their combat power as a single soldier than the Yunleopard Cavalry, and now they have hoarded enough food and completely arranged the army to surround the mountains.

Ning Yue thought about it and suddenly looked at the Yanmian Mountains hidden in the four thieves' mountain villages. The gloomy expression disappeared completely. He suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have enough food and grass to confront our army, I just need to get enough food and grass. If I am ordered to suppress the bandits here and do not return, I can avoid the usurpation of the throne in Qilin City. This is a good thing!" i1387
