It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 619: Attacking Ghostly Black Wind Mountain

Yang Xianyong walked up to Liang Wenbao holding a stick and said in a deep voice: "We all know that Lord Liang has good intentions. General Li has always lived with us, so you don't have to worry about it. Let's all rest for now."

The other deputy generals also spoke up. Liang Wenbao naturally did not insist any longer. He just said a few polite words and left with the quilt in his arms.

Li Lianhua glanced at her room again and wanted to go in to take a look. But Yang Xianyong stopped her and whispered, "It won't be too late to check tomorrow. It's late tonight, let's get some rest. Lieutenant General Yu and I will be on guard outside, you can go to sleep first."

"You should be careful too." Li Lianhua nodded and went into Yang Xianyong's room. There was nothing here anyway, so she slept in her clothes like she usually did when she was on a march.

Yang Xianyong was not very reassured, so he sat on the floor of the room to guard it, and Lieutenant General Yu sat at the door.

The others also dispersed, but the lanterns and torches were all lit until the sky in the east turned pale.

According to the established plan, early the next morning, Liang Wenbao and the two masters personally led the way, and everyone went up the Black Wind Mountain together.

Although Black Wind Mountain is not high, it stretches for hundreds of miles and is covered with lush forests. It is indeed quite difficult to find the bandits who have been lurking here all year round.

Li Lianhua brought all the troops out and spread them out, leaving no inch of land untouched. Yang Xianyong did not lead the search, but followed behind the crowd with a stick and three wild dogs that he had "recruited" on the road.

Li Lianhua was a little afraid of dogs, so she hid from the sheep and kept it that way.

"General, it's okay. These wild dogs have a keener sense of smell. Although we don't know what Master Feng or the bandits look like, they can be the first to give warnings if there are any unusual movements in the mountains." Yang Xianyong used a long stick to gather the wild dogs to his side. "Although these are wild dogs, they are instinctive. As long as they are given enough food, they can definitely work."

As he spoke, Yang Xianyong actually threw out a few pieces of chicken, which were obviously the dishes served at yesterday's welcoming banquet.

Li Lianhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she just nodded, dodged the wild dogs again, and followed the crowd to continue walking deeper into the Black Wind Mountain.

It was almost noon and the sun was at its highest. Li Lianhua was thinking about whether to ask the soldiers to stop and rest for a while. At this moment, three wild dogs suddenly started barking wildly and were about to charge forward.

Yang Xianyong couldn't pull them up, but instead couldn't withstand their strength and was knocked down by them.

Deputy General Yu, who was closest to him, reached out to help him, but was still a step too late. Fortunately, there were many fallen leaves and muddy ground on the mountain, so Yang Xianyong did not fall too hard.

It was strange that the three wild dogs were about to break free from their reins and rush out, but when they saw Yang Xianyong fall to the ground, they all turned back and barked anxiously around him a few more times.

Yang Xianyong's palm was still bleeding, a large patch, and it looked scary. Li Lianhua quickly turned around to look at him, and just as he was about to say something, Yang Xianyong shouted, "Follow the wild dog to see what happened."

At the same time, he patted the wild dogs and told them to keep going. The wild dogs seemed to understand what he meant and ran quickly towards the hills in the north.

Li Lianhua also called on those around him to follow, and even drew out his sword, ready to fight at any time.

The Black Wind Mountain was rolling and undulating. They stood on the top of the hill. The direction in which the wild dogs were barking was the opposite hill. There was a ravine full of gravel and trees in the middle.

However, everyone also clearly saw that on the opposite hill, there were banners and people surging. It was obvious that Feng Ye's bandit group was also observing them. Now that they had found the people, they naturally had to organize an attack immediately. Li Lianhua immediately passed down the order, ordering the "Liu" army to immediately enter combat mode and rush towards the opposite hill.

But by the time the soldiers climbed to the opposite hill, the bandit threat was gone.

Just now it was obvious that there were bandits all over the mountains and there was even a leader dressed in black. He must be the legendary Feng Ye, but why is he gone now?
Just when everyone was puzzled, the three wild dogs suddenly started barking again. Looking in the direction they were heading, the group of people appeared on the hill to the west.

Li Lianhua had no choice but to lead his men to continue attacking the western hilltop, and really ran to the western hilltop at the fastest speed. There were no gravels here, but only half-man-high bushes, and the sharp barbs scraped everyone's clothes into strips, and many people were scratched and bleeding.

By the time they climbed up hurriedly, all the bandits had disappeared.

You know, there are 3,000 people in the "Liu" army following Li Lianhua, and it is also spectacular to see them climbing up the mountain. The dense crowd of soldiers is a deterrent in itself. In addition, they also adopted a net-like climbing method, which means that it is impossible for bandits to escape from this side, while the other side is a slightly steep slope, and it is completely impossible to disappear instantly.

"Is there really such a thing as evil magic?" Even Li Lianhua began to doubt her own eyes.

After hesitating for a while on the hill, Li Lianhua suddenly gave the order to the soldiers to attack the hill to the east immediately. She also ordered Deputy General Yu to lead a thousand men to charge in front, "Don't wait, don't disperse, just charge straight up."

"Understood sir." Deputy General Yu waved his hand and led his men to the eastern hilltop.

The three wild dogs were also very fast and rushed straight up.

Of course, they are faster than humans, and soon they heard barking and someone exclaiming.

Deputy General Yu quickened his pace, not caring that his legs were covered in blood, and rushed forward hastily.

But to his surprise, there was still no one here.

There were some knives, guns, food and even shoes scattered on the ground.

Deputy General Yu lowered his head to pick up his shoes and felt the temperature inside. It was still warm. That meant these people were nearby and were deliberately playing hide-and-seek with them.

Then you can only keep chasing, and now it’s a test of leg strength and speed.

Following the trend of the eastern hills, they quickly chased for about ten miles, and the bandits seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace at all. At this time, the three wild dogs did not bark, but just kept running forward with them.

The team stopped, Li Lianhua was the first to catch up, followed by Liang Wenbao and Yang Xianyong.

Yang Xianyong could no longer walk, but Liang Wenbao half-dragged him to run with the team. He was really exhausted.

"They all say that Lord Feng is the local god of the land. He can escape underground and is very powerful. He can move a hundred miles away in an instant." Liang Wenbao was breathing heavily and had already sat down on the ground. He couldn't run anymore.
