The slope about 30 meters high was full of bushes. After Chen Sheng climbed the slope from the bend path, Gao Jin looked down at the exit of the hilly valley and found that the terrain here was a gourd entrance, with a narrow exit, and a wide valley inside.

"This place is indeed suitable for ambushing, but unfortunately we only have two cannons. Otherwise, if we block the exit, ten tiger squat cannons fired at high places, which would definitely seriously damage the thief army."

Gao Jin couldn't help but sigh. If his troops were there at the moment, he might have been able to use two or three hundred people to rely on this terrain to wipe out the bandit army, but there are not so many ifs in this world.

Chen Sheng also felt a pity by the side. To be honest, he and his servants spent three days in this hilly valley before finding the ambush. They had to fight against the strong. The above was the best, and the right time and place.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Let's fuck him hard here."

Gao Jin stood up and looked at the steeper hill behind him, "It's still too close to the thief army, we have to go up."

Chen Sheng chose a good place, but the slope of more than 30 meters is more than 30 meters. Although the snow is deep, there are many archers in the thief army who are good at riding and shooting. They don’t need to rush straight up. Just covering it with arrow rain, they will at most have to withdraw after putting it on for a round.

"Second brother, let me go first."

Looking at the steep slope that was gradually rising, Shen Guang came out of the team and said loudly.

"Okay, A Guang, take the rope up, be careful!"

Gao Jin looked at Shen Guang, who was the lightest and agile among his friends, and handed him the rope in his hand.

"Don't worry, second brother, but it's so high that it won't hurt me."

Shen Guang carried the rope, moved his body and took off his armor and went straight to the battlefield. He stepped on Yang Dayan's shoulders who were squatting down. When Yang Dayan got up, he also exerted force under his feet and rushed upwards.

A storm of snow filled the air. Gao Jin and the others saw Shen Guang's whole body against the cliff. Soon, they could not see any figures. But snow pieces rolled down from time to time to remind them that Shen Guang was still climbing up.

After a long time, there was no movement for a while, which made everyone's hearts twitch. Yang Dayan couldn't help but say anxiously, "A Guang must have been taken away by a leopard!"

"You stuffed goods, it's hard to even see live animals in this place, so how can you raise leopards?"

Chen Sheng cursed angrily, while Gao Jin frowned and looked at the steep mountain wall with his eyes fixed on him. He suddenly felt that his preparations were not enough. When he was in Camel City, he should ask those craftsmen to make some equipment and tools for climbing.

Just when everyone was worried, there was a movement on the cliff above their heads, and large snow balls rolled down. When the movement became smaller, everyone saw the knotted rope as thick as a thumb fell on Yang Dayan's head.

"Pooh!"

After spitting out all the snowy slags, Yang Dayan touched the rope from his forehead and couldn't help but curse, "A Guang, are you a dog? Can you hear this?" Everyone burst into laughter.

"Big eyes, Ah Guang is on it, where can I hear our words? It just happened to fall on your head."

Gao Jin laughed, took the rope from Yang Dayan, then took off his armor and said to everyone, "Asheng and I will go up and take a look, you are waiting for our news below."

Following the rope, Gao Jin and Chen Sheng climbed thirty or forty meters before they reached the end. "Second Brother!" Seeing Gao Jin, Chen Guang, who was anxiously waiting on the top, reached out to hold Gao Jin, and then couldn't wait to say, "Second Brother, this place is pretty good, look..."

After pulling Chen Sheng up, Gao Jin looked around. This place was located a higher place on the hillside. There was a flat ground under their feet, and a cave behind them. Gao Jin estimated that this place could accommodate almost seventy or eighty people, and its vision was also good. From a high place, it could just look down at the valley below.

"Let's go, let's take a look around."

Ambushing is indeed suitable for Gao Jin, but for Gao Jin, what is more important is the safety of the retreat. "A Guang, have you been to that cave?"

"No, no!"

I looked back at the dark hole, and the sunlight hesitated, trying to make myself less afraid when I speak.

Gao Jin and Chen Sheng looked at each other and laughed. Unexpectedly, this brother was also afraid.

"Second brother, this hole looks quite deep, so it's better for us to bring all the guys."

When Chen Sheng saw Gao Jin going straight to the cave, he stopped Gao Jin. Although he was scolding Yang Dayan just now, the hilly valley was always dozens of miles in a radius. Maybe there were some beasts.

"Listen to you."

Gao Jin stopped, thought for a while, and went to the cliff with Chen Sheng and shouted loudly to the bottom.

Yang Dayan and the others understood this time, and hurriedly wrapped the ropes of the three of them, tied them up, and pulled the ropes. Soon Gao Jin and the other two went neatly into the cave.

When they lit the fire, they just entered the cave, Gao Jin and the others smelled a fishy smell. Then a few people saw the blurry black shadow inside the cave. When they looked closely, they turned out to be the tall blind bear.

At this time, the fire seemed to wake up the blind bear. The spear in Gao Jin's hand instantly stretched forward. Chen Sheng and Shen Guang also drew their swords to protect Gao Jin's sides. But to their surprise, the awakened blind bear roared at the three of them and turned around and ran away.

Gao Jin followed him without thinking. When he followed Uncle Chen to the mountain to hunt, Uncle Chen said that the blind bear in the mountains was timid and would not attack people unless he was hungry. Now the blind bear ran away when he saw them. I think there is a way out in the cave.

Chen Sheng and Shen Guang also followed, and saw that the blind bear looked very big, but he was really quick to run. If it weren't for the many turns in the cave, I was afraid they would have been lost by the blind bear.

Suddenly, the entrance of the cave suddenly became clear. Gao Jin carried his spear and chased him out. He saw that there was a steep slope outside the exit of the cave. The blind bear, who was so desperate that they chased him, ran too fast and rolled down the slope.

Gao Jin and the other two saw that the snowball that the blind bear rolled down until the snow field collapsed. The blind bear stood up as if nothing had happened, yelled at them halfway up the mountain for a while before leaving unwillingly.

Looking at the big hillside that was rolling down, Gao Jin's eyes flashed and said to Chen Sheng on the side, "Do you think it will be wrong if we wrap it in a carpet and roll it down?"

After looking at the blind bear who was shaking in the distance and gradually disappeared into the snow forest, Chen Sheng hesitated and said, "It should be fine. This hillside is much smoother than before, and there are not so many shrubs. Let's try it later."

After returning to the cave and reaching the cliff again, Gao Jin and the others asked Yang Dayan and others to climb up, bring some supplies, and then asked the remaining team to leave the valley entrance and go around the cliff on their side.

In the evening, except for a group of servants who were staying behind the hillside, the rest of the people entered the cave. Everyone gathered around the bonfire and stared at the grilled bear paws and bear meat, all of whom were quite greedy.

During the day, Yang Dayan and the others rolled back from the hillside in a thick felt blanket. Except for their dizziness, they were not hurt at all. This made Gao Jin completely relieved and had no way to retreat. Then the next step was nothing more than patiently waiting for the thief army to arrive.

"Second brother, the bear paw is ready!"

Yang Dayan, who had been staring at the bear's paw, shouted. The blind bear still couldn't escape their poisonous hands in the end. Finally, Yang Dayan led people to find them in the woods and used his Lumi gun to break up, and the bear skin was preserved intact.

"You hunted this bear, so you should definitely get it!"

Gao Jin threw the short knife in his hand to Yang Dayan, and then saw the big-eyed thief happily distributed the four bear paws several times. In the end, everyone had a share, but the one left for him and himself was particularly big.

But no one said anything. The blind bear had more than 200 kilograms of meat, which was enough for them to eat.

The next day, when Gao Jin got up and left the cave, he found that it was snowing heavily outside. When he looked out from the cliff, he saw that the mouth of the valley and the inside and outside of the valley were white, and it was hard to distinguish them.

"Second brother, how long will it take for that group of thieves to arrive?"

The days of waiting are the most difficult, especially now that everything is available, the ambush and the evacuation retreat are all in place, and everyone is inevitably a little impatient. Even Chen Sheng, who has always been calm, can't wait.

"According to their marching speed, it will be at most two days!"

Looking at the sky covered with clouds and the vast snow of goose feathers, Gao Jin pondered, then patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the thief army must pass by here, their food and supplies cannot support them in the detour."

"Second brother, I think I have to find something for everyone, otherwise it will be difficult for the past two days."

"You make sense. We have a lot of gunpowder this time. I'll take you to the hillsides on both sides of the valley entrance to see if you can bury some gunpowder and blow up the valley entrance to the time."

Thinking of the buckets of black gunpowder he accompanied him, Gao Jin thought for a while and said that he was studying geology, and he also tried this blasting and mining with several veterans in the mining area. However, he was not very clear about the power of the black gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty. However, the black gunpowder brought by Mulan and the others was enough. If the valley entrance could really be blown up here and blocked the thief army for two or three days, and asked them to consume more food and grass, it would be considered as a capital.

When the wind and snow stopped in the afternoon, Gao Jin led Chen Sheng and Yang Dayan to take tools and went to the mountain walls on both sides of the valley to survey. After shoveling the snow, Gao Jin knocked the hammer for a long time and found that the ground was frozen harder than the stone.
