The white snow gradually melts, and the banks of the Golden Galaxy begin to show the vitality of early spring.

A group of people wearing thick cotton clothes stepped on the pontoon.

Luo Xingchen stepped hard on the pontoon twice...

The pontoon swayed slightly, and several people nearby reached out and grabbed the handrails.

"The temporary pontoon bridge is quite solid. I don't think it will break down in a few years." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.

"The entire bridge is connected by iron cables. The surface of the bridge body is made of wooden boards, but there is a layer of iron plates sandwiched in the middle. Even if fire is used, the bridge body cannot be burned, at least the iron plates inside will definitely be there.

"The person who spoke was Yan Tiancan. He only brought four subordinates, not too many people.

"No wonder the Baba Tiger Department burned the pontoon bridge last time and repaired it quickly."

"Is the intelligence wrong? General Yan Junning is not in Tiger City, but has gone to chase the remnants of Baba's Tiger Division?"

Luo Xingchen set out with Yan Huanyan's instructions. The first thing he had to do was to find Yan Junning and give him letters and other items. But after arriving at the camp near Jinyinhe, he got a piece of news

, that is, Yan Junning has left Tiger City, taking some soldiers and horses to chase and kill the remnants of Baba's Tiger Division.

How could he rashly enter the interior of Xiaoyinshan without finding Yan Junning.

Simply, Luo Xingchen and his party crossed Jin Yinhe and chased in the direction where Yan Junning left.

…

There are many dark red rocks on the top of Hongyan Mountain, so the locals call it Hongyan Mountain.

There is exposed coal on Hongyan Mountain, and there are often people picking up coal nearby.

Everywhere you can see wild people carrying coal on their backs, heading towards Hongyan Mountain.

Yan Junning led 5,000 soldiers to chase down the hurriedly fleeing Baba Tiger. The wild people along the way glanced numbly and continued on the trail towards Hongyan Mountain.

Yan Junning stopped and looked at the red rock mountain in front of him, frowning because he smelled the pungent smoky smell.

"Most people can't stand this smoke."

"The prairie people's methods of smelting iron are quite rough. How can such good iron be made into weapons like this?"

Yan Junning took a last hit on a prairie man who was trampled by the cavalry. He looked at the weapon in the prairie man's hand and sneered.

A thing that looked like a hammer or a mace was firmly grasped by the dead prairie man.

"Hongyan Mountain, the coal mines are of high quality and the terrain is dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times." A playful female voice took off her helmet and took out a booklet and said.

Zhao Lan, she said she would be wherever Yan Junning was. She didn't want to break her promise.

"I didn't expect that you, a female classmate, would actually have two brushes when marching and fighting." Yan Junning first affirmed Zhao Lan's role in the battle.

Not to mention Zhao Lan's proficiency in bow skills and his horseback riding skills. He is not very accurate in riding and shooting, but he is still among the best in the army in foot shooting.

"That's right, who says women are inferior to men? There are times when women are inferior to men!" Zhao Lan raised her head proudly and said, jumped off the horse, cut off the prairie man's ear and put it in her belt.

"That's my trophy..." Yan Junning stretched out his hand.

This prairie man obviously fell off his horse and was trampled to death by his own people. Yan Junning was also picked up as a trophy.

Whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up.

"You are already a partial general. Don't you know that being a partial general does not count as military merit?" Zhao Lan asked with a smile and patted his belt.

"I know, but it can be exchanged for money, twenty guan each." Yan Junning counted on his fingers. Along the way, Zhao Lan picked up at least seven of his heads as a reward.

One hundred and forty coins, which in many counties could marry the daughter of a landlord, was picked up by Zhao Lan.

One hundred silver coins!

I can buy two houses and more than ten acres of land!

Zhao Lan took off his belt and said, "If you want it, then let me set up a separate military tent in your camp, next to your military tent."

"Deal!" Yan Junning nodded and said.

The Hidden Guard has a separate department in the military responsible for spying and intelligence along the way.

Because of Zhao Lan's status, she had a high establishment in the Hidden Guard and originally lived in a separate military tent. This requirement was not too much.

Looking at Yan Junning's appearance, Zhao Lan laughed loudly, threw the waist bag in his hand to Yan Junning, and explained: "What's mine is not yours? I don't have military status."

Only then did Yan Junning remember that without military membership, he could not exchange for the Troop Award.

Zhao Lan looked at Yan Junning's dull look and didn't know how she could blindly fall in love with him.

She took out the Kanyu map, pointed at Anshan and said: "There is no city built near Hongyan Mountain, and the defensive force is extremely limited. Stationing a thousand-man team in one place is already a lot. I think you should go to Hongyan Mountain now. These two

The place has been occupied, and we are each other's horns, and we have a basis for advancing and retreating."

"The remnants of Baba's Tiger Division have run away! I saw it with my own eyes! This can still be false! This Hongyan Mountain is completely empty! There are no troops to defend it at all! You don't have to be so cautious!" Zhao Lan looked at Yan Jun who was moving forward cautiously.

Ning said slightly puzzled.

This is a distrust of her investigative abilities!

But Yan Junning still held the knife in his hand and walked forward carefully, carefully checking the potholes and houses one after another, making sure that there were no safety hazards before heading up the mountain.

Throughout the night, the soldiers led by Yan Junning walked from the bottom of the mountain to halfway up the mountain.

"Hongyan Mountain is an important place for grassland people. Although the remnants of Baba Tiger have not entered the depths of Hongyan Mountain, they are still potentially dangerous. Any slightest relaxation may lead to the loss of soldiers." Yan Junning squatted.

Then he carefully checked the heat of the bonfire, then went into the house and opened the bed board, and then confirmed that the place was safe.

Excessive caution is the biggest characteristic of Yan Junning. He is never willing to make any mistakes. He is willing to investigate for half a year before taking action against a small Yinshan with a thousand people.

After Yan Junning painted a red 'X' sign outside this residence, he clapped his hands and said: "These ordinary Thousand Machine Army are not as strong as us. In order to get revenge, we are willing to do anything, even to eat snow."

Even the bark of the tree is not spared."

"But many of the ordinary Thousand Machines Army are new troops. Their parents are still alive, and some even have families. If I am not cautious enough and they are inexperienced, who will be responsible for their lives? Who will be responsible for their families?

Responsible?"

"Every time a soldier dies, it is a family's tragedy."

Yan Junning received reports from the officers of each battalion and personally checked the marks on the doors before leaving the village halfway up the mountain and heading towards the depths of Hongyan Mountain.
