Chapter 21 Chapter 22 People from the Deep Mountains

Chapter 21 is a desperate gamble

"What do you say?" Xiao Changfeng asked doubtfully.

At this time, Chu Nantian, who had been staring up at the Gurahu Mountains, also came over and sat down next to him.

"Snow fox is a precious thing unique to Tang Bitter Xuefeng in the Gurahu Mountains, so even on Yanmeng's side, it is extremely precious. As long as you hit it, you won't worry that no one wants it. It is close to Yimore, the capital city of Yanmeng, and there are not many rich people. Why do hunters give up the distance and take it to the Yanlong border to sell?

"Maybe they want to change something that we have." Zhao Gu said.

Su Yong nodded: "Not bad. Since the tense situation between the two countries, the non-governmental trade between Yanlong and Yanmeng has also been temporarily terminated. But before, this kind of trade between the two countries has come thousands of miles away, which proves that these hunting wild geese urgently need some things from our Yanlong, which cannot be given by the imperial rich people of Imore. For these necessities, they don't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to exchange their most precious prey for silver, and then exchange them for these necessities through the hands of our Yanlong merchants.

Seeing that everyone fell into deep thought, Su Yong stretched out his finger and inspired: "In addition to the herdsmen, there are these hunters who support mountains. These people do not have sustainable supplies such as cattle, horses and wool. I'm afraid hunting alone is not enough to make a living, right?"

Sun Shangwu nodded and said, "I have dated some traders in Phoenix before. They said that most of the fur they bought in their hands is sheepskin cowhide from the farm, which is worthless. Only the fur of those wild snow foxes and gray wolves is more valuable, but those wild animals are very few and difficult to harvest. Some hunters would rather come thousands of miles to Yanlong to find buyers in person, rather than fake them, so as not to let them eat the price difference.

Well. Su Yong carried his hands on his back and took a few steps: "There are few prey. They absolutely can't be full by hunting, and the rare prey even ran to Yanlong to find a buyer and refused to give it to Imall's acquirer. Of course, this is because Yanlong has what they need, but what are their necessary items?"

In fact, the answer is ready to come out at this time. Zhao Gu's eyes lit up and clapped his hands and said, "In addition to buying grain, vegetables and cloth ceramics, Yanmeng people also buy agricultural tools. I have seen them at the border!"

"Can Yanmeng people also farm?" Chu Nantian said doubtfully.

Su Yong smiled: "Most of the metal materials of the Yanmeng people are obtained through our Yanlong and neighboring countries. There is a very shortage, so the control is very strict and it is impossible to be exiled to the people. But herdsmen also need knives to slaughter cattle and sheep, and hunters also need bows and arrows to hunt. Since it is impossible to buy these metal materials, they can only buy them through us. However, when they buy wheat, vegetables and other things, they may not be used for storage and food. Presumably, some of them will be used for farming. After all, people will always be on par with more developed areas, especially in these mountain hunters. Their prey is not enough, and it is not a big deal to use mountain farming as a supplement.

The purchase of agricultural tools proves that some of the Yanmeng people already know how to cultivate. Of course, the biggest possibility is that it is these hunters.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Xiao Changfeng listened to him for a long time and said that the hunter must exist, and he could also cultivate. He was a little puzzled. Even if they know how to farm, what does it have to do with us?

Su Yong smiled and said, "These half-farmers and half-hunters who farm in the mountains live a completely different life from the herdsmen, and may be more similar to our mountain families in Yanlong. Since the life at the foot of the mountain has nothing to do with them, the big local tribes and big cities will not go up the mountain to force them to pay food, and they will not run to the snow peak to attract people or anything when conscription. Naturally, they will not care too much about the situation at the foot of the mountain... In a word, as long as they live a good life, they may not know who is the emperor! "

Su Yong thought to himself, not to mention this era of isolation, even in our era of information explosion, I don't know how many mountain people hide in the deep mountains and forests, thinking that the world is still in the era of the imperial dynasty, and even some people call themselves emperors! These mountain people are self-sufficient. As long as they give them what they need, they can tell whether you are Yanlong or Yanmeng!

"Are you still going to find a hunter to lead the way to Tang Buk Xuefeng?" Chu Nantian frowned and said, "But this is an unknown number... Let's not talk about whether they can find the hunter or not, but it is impossible for the Xuefeng to let the army pass through, and the Xuefeng is a few hundred feet away from the capital Imor below. If you want to attack from above, unless we have wings!"

Su Yong shook his head: "We don't need so many people. We surprise Imore. In fact, we just need to open the gate!" His face was solemn: "Think about it, we have 20,000 people, and Imore also has 20,000 defenders. We are injured, and they also have high walls. If the gate is closed, how can we attack in?" However, the appearance of Yanlongren and Yanmengren is very different, and those red eyes are even more terrible. In this special situation, it is impossible to sneak into the city.

He waved his hand and said firmly: "Only by surprise attack, breaking into the city through Tang Buku Xuefeng and opening the door at midnight, can you rely on the army to kill the palace in one fell swoop and win!"

In fact, he has a preliminary idea for the whole plan, which is to find the path to Tang Buku Xuefeng, then use arrows to set up ropes to the city, quietly sneak into Imore, and then kill the night guard, forcibly open the gate, and let the army outside attack.

But there are too many unknowns in this: the way of Tang Bitter Snow Peak in the vast mountains, whether the hunters are willing to lead the way, the distance between Tang Bitter Snow Peak and Yimore City Wall, the number of soldiers on duty at night, and so on. These are extremely important things. If you don't figure out any aspect, you may fail and die.

But at this moment, can you still choose?

After the Yanmeng troops in Nancheng and Beicheng know their main attack direction, they will definitely follow. It is likely that they will come here within four days. At that time, they will attack on both sides with the Yulan Army who learned the news. Where can they hide?

Su Yong looked around at everyone: "I need an amazing archer with amazing arms, a general who knows the language of Yanmeng, and 20 quick and skillful and skillful. There are also a lot of ropes.

Xiao Changfeng and Chu Nantian looked at each other. The divine archer meant that the two must leave a person to go with him. After discussion, Chu Nantian stayed.

Su Yong walked to Xiao Changfeng: "General Xiao, the army is led by you. You don't have to rush to Imore. Let everyone have a good rest on the way, especially those injured brothers... At noon on the third day, you have to walk half a day away from Imor. Find a place on the side of the mountains for everyone to hide and have a good rest, and wait until the night before leaving..."

It's only two days away from Imore. Su Yong asked the brigade to arrive nearby at noon on the third day. This time is enough. But can they also get to Tang Buk Xuefeng on the third day? That's an unknown number.

Looking at the high snow peak, Su Yong's hand held the book "How Steel Is Made" in his arms. He sighed deeply. I tried my best. God bless you!

Two small bags of wheat were accumulated by the soldiers from the rations in their pockets, and they were also the only grain they brought from the motherland. At this moment, in their pockets, there was only dried meat and dried vegetables snatched from the sunset grid. There were also some machetes snatched from the wild goose people, tied into a small bag with rope, which was The silver dragon called Tie Niu put the man on his back.

Su Yong and more than 20 others have changed the armor of the Yanlong people, put on the cowhide and sheepskin of the Yanmeng people, and walked up to the Gurahu Mountains with these things.

They have made an appointment. At midnight on the third day, whether they can reach Imore to open the gate, Xiao Changfeng can only lead a large army to forcibly attack the city.

Because this is also something that can't be picked.
