Chapter 258 Transaction(2/2)
The high-level cultivators within the mountain gate are different from ordinary people. No matter how tight the precautions are, they may escape. However, once the sect is secretly massacred, even if only one person escapes, the entire sect in the north will be captured in a short time.
This news.
The Beifeng Army and the Black Scale Army must be involved to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"It is impossible for such a huge army of barbarians to disappear without a trace. Can it be tracked?"
Li Qingyan said helplessly:
"The wind and snow directly covered up all their traces. It is not easy to track them with a time difference of nearly ten days."
Xu Yuan was quiet for a long time and whispered:
"So you want to go deep alone? Use yourself as bait to lure the barbarian army to encircle and suppress you?"
"Yes."
"But what if the barbarians return to the snowfields of the north along the mountain road they came from?"
"Mr. Zong has given a fatal order, asking the high-level experts accompanying the army to each be responsible for high-intensity patrols in an area between the Wanren Mountains and the Tianxue Mountains, without giving the barbarians any chance to detour northward."
"."Xu Yuan.
The lives of high-level cultivators are very valuable, and generally they will not do high-risk tasks such as patrolling, because once discovered by the main force of the barbarian army, a totem will send their souls to the west.
But similarly, as long as something happens to them within the patrol area, they can be sure that there are barbarian troops in that area.
It seems that Zong Qingsheng and Li Qingyan have already made up their minds to resolve the issue quickly.
Li Qingyan stood up resolutely, glanced back at the silent Xu Yuan, and said:
"Now, dividing and encircling the enemy with more attacks and fewer enemies is the only chance for the foreign king of the barbarians to turn defeat into victory. As long as I can hold back the main force of the barbarians and detonate the Yunqi bombs, allowing Mr. Zong to come to the rescue, I can determine the situation in the northern border in the shortest possible time.
."
Half a day later,
As the vanguard, the Beifeng Army first arrived at Beifeng City and began to reorganize.
One day later,
The Black Scale Army led by Zong Qingsheng arrived at Beifeng City.
After the two armies handed over the necessary baggage and ordnance, Li Qingyan led the Beifeng Army from the two towns and Luo Qingfeng's 20,000 frontier troops, directly crossed Beifeng City in the wind and snow and continued southward to track the barbarian army.

One thing to say,
Xu Yuan does not agree with this kind of risky behavior, especially since this risk may involve his own life.
But it is a pity that others speak lightly and do not mean what they say.
Even though he was surrounded by big-muscled warriors wearing armor, and even though there was a crazy woman like Li Qingyan beside him, Xu Yuan still felt very insecure while marching in the blizzard.
Fortunately, Zong Qingsheng generously assigned most of the Black Scale Army's scouts to Li Qingyan's command.
Hundreds of well-trained scouts cruised in front of the army, continuously relaying information back to provide early warning to the Chinese army.
As Li Qingyan's personal guard and consort, Xu Yuan could read these military intelligence reports even when he was bored.
The information that can be reported to Li Qingyan is basically important information that has been screened by the deputy general below.
Well, relatively important.
On the first day, there was no military intelligence, but due to the blizzard and natural disaster, two scouts were injured during non-combat operations.
On the second day, two villages destroyed by the snowstorm were discovered to the southwest and southeast of the army. The frozen bodies of the people inside were untouched.
On the third day, a small number of flying scouts encountered the barbarian bone-winged birds, injuring seven of them. The ground scouts were ambushed by the barbarian wolf riders in a canyon. Nine people died and thirteen were missing. The army turned towards the abnormal canyon.
Chase.
On the fourth day, fighting between the scouts of the two armies began to become more frequent, with over a hundred casualties reported in one day.
On the fifth day, the scouts came with news that there were only a few injured barbarians in the canyon, and they were all wiped out by the Grand Master accompanying the army.
On the sixth day, the army entered Ningyuan County and forced the local gentry to donate food and supplies.
On the 13th day, the barbarians launched a small-scale attack, and the sect's frontier troops lost 137 people, including 14 non-combat casualties.
On the fourteenth day, the barbarians launched a small-scale attack. Thirty-six people were killed in the Zongmen's frontier army, and 17 people were killed in the Northern Feng army.
Day 16
"Pa!"
Xu Yuan casually threw the file in his hand onto the table in the cart, sat back on the soft couch, and let out a long sigh:
"No, when will this guerrilla war end?"
This barbarian king is really as oily as a loach. The Beifeng army has been wandering around in Tianshuizhou in the far north for almost a month, but they have not even been able to catch them. On the contrary, the entire army has been harassed by the barbarians.
And exhausted.
I have understood how to play guerrilla warfare.
Li Qingyan stood up and walked to sit next to Xu Yuan. The soft couch sank slightly and said warmly:
"My consort, nine out of ten people are unhappy in life. Isn't that what you said? It is simply impossible for the barbarian king to just go all-in and attack. After all, war is not a child's play. If he loses the bet once, the entire barbarian tribe will be doomed.
”
"."
Xu Yuan lay on the soft couch with his hands behind his head, crossed his legs and stared at the ceiling of the carriage and suddenly said:
"Hey, how about we put some pressure on that barbarian king?"
"Pressure?" Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
Xu Yuan looked at her cold side face and whispered:
"Tell him directly that your uncle Mu went to a dark place to raid their hometown."
"." Li Qingyan was slightly startled.
Xu Yuan looked back with strange eyes:
"Why, you can't tell King Barbarian this information?"
"No, of course."
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled sweetly: "My consort, why didn't you tell me earlier about such a damaging move?"
Xu Yuan slowly sat up and whispered:
"It takes time for Dali Mountain to reach the extremely dark place. If the barbarians also have long-distance communication methods, they may be able to alert the snake. Now Wu Chenghou has probably arrived for some time."
Li Qingyan's eyes flickered for a moment:
"The ideal of that barbarian king in his life is to obtain a place of survival for his people, but now it is known that all the women and children of their tribe have been slaughtered."
As he spoke, Li Qingyan's eyes narrowed into two crystal crescents, filled with excitement:
"It would be interesting to think about it."
