The fifty bandit soldiers who stayed in the canyon had been attacked by the dark armed guards.
The raid method is simple and effective.
Zhao Zhenhai led the Anwu Guard and quietly approached the material reserve point. Since Uhli had already left with a large force, the defense of the entire material reserve point was extremely weak and loose.
They easily penetrated within thirty steps of the stronghold.
Then he climbed up the tree, sat on the branch, took off his bow and arrow, and aimed at the bandit soldiers sitting by the campfire.
Following Zhao Zhenhai's order, the three bandit soldiers were shot dead on the spot. Due to the black light, it was impossible to judge the exact direction of the arrows, and the entire stronghold instantly became chaotic.
The remaining bandit soldiers picked up their weapons, held torches, and gathered together, roaring to embolden themselves and hoping to recall the large troops.
Little did they know, they had already been abandoned by Uhri.
Uhri did not stop at all and continued on his way with his large army. Although some people kept raising objections, they were all suppressed by Uhli.
Only after retreating halfway up the mountain on the opposite side did Uhli stop.
Looking at the stronghold in the distance, one can vaguely see the flickering and moving light spots, which are all torches.
Uhli couldn't help but sigh: "It's so dark and blind, the more you hold a torch, the easier it is to be attacked."
"Thankfully, they are still soldiers from the southern border. Don't they even have the minimum experience in mountain warfare?"
Wu Huli had already been disappointed with these bandits. If they hadn't been in large numbers and could become a foothold for Wu Huli, Wu Huli would have left with Wu Cheng.
As long as they recruit some civilians and start training again, they will be more reliable than this group of bandit soldiers.
Uhli's attitude is very resolute. Now is not the time to confront Qin Feng head-on. Retreating while consuming is the right way.
As for the grievances of the people below, Wu Cheng and Liu Biao will naturally appease them. He just needs to grasp the overall situation.
In less than half an hour, all fifty bandit soldiers in the stronghold were killed.
Because these fifty people were isolated and helpless, they could only gather together and did not dare to leave their stronghold to fight back.
Zhao Zhenhai only needed to lead the secret guards and constantly change their positions to fire cold arrows. Soon some timid people would choose to flee.
As long as they leave their stronghold and are in the complex and dark mountains and forests, the Dark Guards have ten thousand ways to kill them.
After clearing out the bandit soldiers in the stronghold and taking note of their number, Zhao Zhenhai sent someone to contact Qin Feng and at the same time dispersed the Anwu guards to prevent Uhli from killing them.
Not long after, Qin Feng arrived at the stronghold and learned that the number of casualties between the enemy and ourselves was zero to fifty, and he couldn't help but chuckle on the spot.
"Brother Yulong, what am I talking about? This ragtag group will definitely be in chaos as long as a small group of elites makes a surprise attack."
"In the mountains and forests, it is impossible to carry heavy armor to fight. Everyone has light armor or no armor, so cold arrows are the most deadly offensive."
Zhao Yulong is good at leading troops and horses to fight the enemy head-on. Naturally, he has little experience in this kind of mountain warfare.
Qin Feng's experience mainly comes from what he learned when he was trapped in Daqing Mountain in Beidi.
The number of people is indeed important, but in mountain warfare, it is far less important than in other methods of warfare.
The weather is not warm enough now. After a while, the Qilian Mountains will be completely covered by vegetation. By then, even the light armor will have to be taken off, and you can only walk around in cloth, wearing a breastplate to your death.
The dense vegetation was bad news for Uhli, and it was also a huge test for Qin Feng.
Therefore, don’t rush this battle, but don’t drag it out too much. At least you have to kill Uhri before the branches are scattered.
"Brother Qin, Wu Heli only transported this little stuff to the Qilian Mountains?"
Zhao Yulong couldn't help but be confused when he looked at the inventory of supplies. Logically speaking, this place was far away from the outside of the mountain, and it was also an important transfer station. A large amount of supplies should be stored here.
However, after counting, based on the number of bandit soldiers around Uhli, the food was only enough for seven or eight days, and there was not much water in reserve.
As for other supplies such as building materials and weapons, they are even more lacklustre.
Seeing Zhao Yulong's confusion, Qin Feng analyzed it lightly.
"As the saying goes, Wu Heli is a capable person, and there is Wu Cheng beside him, so he naturally has many ideas."
"This place is indeed a better material transfer station, but it is not impossible to leave here."
"If I guessed correctly, there should be other transfer stations in the south, west, north and south directions of the Qilian Mountains."
"Once this road is blocked, Uhli can leave the Qilian Mountains in other directions."
Zhao Yulong couldn't help but frown slightly: "So, the supplies that Uhli will transport to the Qilian Mountains will be a very scary number."
Qin Feng shrugged: "The wealthy people in the southern border paid a lot of money to hire him to come to the southern border to cause trouble. It's not enough to just have money in hand, but they also have to spend the money."
"And hoarding supplies is naturally the best choice."
"But the Qilian Mountains are too big after all. If the supplies are too scattered or go too deep, he may get stuck in the quagmire and be unable to extricate himself."
"So it can be inferred that the reserves of materials are large, but there are not many storage points."
"I estimate there are only six or seven reserve points at most."
"in addition……"
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a deep smile: "Wu Heli will consume not only us, but also his bandits."
"These guys are not fuel-efficient. Once they mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Rather than saying that these fifty bandits were unlucky enough to be raided, it would be better to say that Uhli deliberately stayed behind."
"As we go deeper, there will be less and less supplies around Uheli, and only Uheli and Wu Cheng know the location of the material reserve point."
"At that time, the bandits will have no choice but to be completely loyal to Uhli, otherwise they will be trapped and die in the deep mountains and forests."
"And Uhri can naturally take advantage of this opportunity to join forces and fight against dissidents, and clean up the unrest among the bandits. With a small number of people, the combat effectiveness may not be reduced."
Although Zhao Yulong is good at leading troops in battle, his control of human nature is far inferior to Qin Feng.
He never thought that Qin Feng had figured out Uhli so thoroughly.
In this case, all we need to do next is to follow Qin Feng's command and pursue Uhli step by step. Anyway, Uhli's team has already been killed by the Anwu Guard.
At this juncture, he probably doesn't have that much energy to drive away or chase down the Anwuwei.
Just as Qin Feng was leading his troops to suppress bandits in the Qilian Mountains, the three daughters Liu Hongyan and Xie Yuner left their frontline station.
Instead of returning to Beijing, he went to Lingzhou.
