Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 80 The mission is completed, the general attack begins

There is one person left.

Lu Fan put away his bow and arrow and chased after him.

This time he didn't chase very closely, deliberately making the other party think that he lost it.

With his agility, he is completely capable of doing this.

The two, one in front of the other, climbed over mountains and ridges.

After turning over several hills in a row, perhaps tired, the horse thief stopped and looked back, seeing no one, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, I'm scared to death."

He was still in shock, and stood there for a long time, then suddenly lay down on the ground and rested on the spot.

Lu Fan stared at the horse thief from a distance, not in a hurry.

According to his estimate, the horse thief would definitely report back.

And it will be fast.

Sure enough, not long after, the horse thief got up and started running fast again.

The mountain in front is much higher than the mountain next to it.

The whole mountain is covered by green trees, and from a distance, there is no clue.

But Lu Fan could feel that maybe that was the mountain where the horse thief was.

Because the horse thief in front was walking straight towards that mountain.

If you want to hurry, there is no need to climb such a high mountain.

Just as he was thinking, the horse thief in front suddenly accelerated.

There are people down the mountain!

Lu Fan saw two people guarding the foot of the mountain, which was a way up the mountain.

These two men were also wearing gray clothes, with knives at their waists.

He was with the horse thieves he had killed.

It seems to be standing guard.

The mountain must be the lair of horse thieves.

Lu Fan was able to confirm it at this time.

That's it.

He took down his bow, put on an arrow, aimed at the running horse thief, and drew the bow to full capacity.

With a thud.

The arrow flew out of the string.

"puff!"

Arrow through the heart.

It is impossible for him to leave this alive.

After all, this horse thief not only saw him, but also saw him make a move.

"what happened?"

The two horse thieves on guard saw the man fall and ran over quickly.

"what!"

An exclamation sounded.

After a while, the whole mountain became noisy.

More than a dozen horse thieves ran down from the mountain to check the situation.

Seeing this, Lu Fan was completely relieved.

He has found the first horse thief lair.

He retreated quietly, hid in a secret place, took out a map, and marked it out.

go back.

Lu Fan quickly returned to the valley.

The horse is still there, and so is the thing on the horse.

However, the two hunters were gone.

Those corpses were all lying in place without any change.

See if there is anything of value.

Lu Fan thought of the herbs, squatted down, and turned over on the horse thief.

It really made him find a lot of things.

There are almost a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, adding up to more than 20 plants, which are placed in a bamboo basket.

Although not very expensive, but also can sell some money.

In addition, there was some food and drink, which Lu Fan didn't want.

Then there are some broken silver, copper coins and the like, which don't add up much.

Horse thieves are very poor.

Lu Fan put away his things and decided to continue on his way.

Can't stay here.

After leaving the valley, he deliberately changed the direction, bypassed the mountain he marked, and headed for the mountain next to him.

……

……

Noon the next day.

Lu Fan climbed a hill, tied his horse to the hillside, and let him graze on his own.

There is a mountain spring not far away, which is flowing downward.

The reason why I choose here is to eat.

Eat roast lamb at noon.

Lu Fan hunted a sheep in the morning and brought it here.

Such delicious food should not be wasted.

He brought the sheep to the edge of the spring, tidied it up, and then went to chop some bamboo, peeled a dozen bamboo sticks, and skewered the lamb.

Lighting the firewood, he roasted the mutton.

Zilala is oily.

After a while, the smell of meat began to waft away.

He sprinkled a handful of spices, the fragrance is stronger.

With the gust of wind, it scattered away.

The reason why Lu Fan chose to eat barbecue was to attract horse thieves.

At that time, he only needs to leave one alive and follow him, and he will definitely find the horse thief's lair.

As for how long this method will last, he is not sure.

After all, horse thieves are not fools. After a long time, they will definitely be alert.

Maybe action will be taken against him.

That's nothing to be afraid of either.

Lu Fan had planned to make some noise so that more horse thieves would show up.

It will be easier for him to find the hiding place of the horse thief.

The meat is almost done.

Lu Fan took out a jug of wine, facing the spout, took a sip of the wine.

Then, while it was hot, I took a big bite of the roast meat, chewed it slowly, and tasted the taste.

The sheep in the mountains are just different.

It tastes better and tastes better.

Adding some effect will be better, right?
Lu Fan ate the meat, but he didn't forget to add something.

"smell good!"

"Someone is grilling?"

"Go, have a look."

There were voices coming from the foot of the mountain, and there were several people listening to the voice.

Lu Fan purposely faced down the mountain for a better view.

Not long after, five men in black came up.

They all carried knives, but they were not hung on their waists, but behind their backs.

Not surprisingly, it should be another Poma thief.

Lu Fan didn't look up, but observed the five people from the corner of his eye.

"Good guy, there's still wine."

"How can this be out hunting? Is it out to enjoy?"

"How many of our brothers are not treated like this?"

"Isn't it there now?"

"Too."

"Haha."

Several people laughed and approached Lu Fan.

"Come on, let me have a taste of the barbecue."

The person in front stretched out his hand.

"Give me the wine."

Another person stood beside Lu Fan.

Lu Fan ignored them, eating barbecue and drinking wine on his own.

"Yo, what's going on?"

"Are you blind or deaf?"

"Grandpa was talking to you, didn't you listen?"

The men in black were a little angry and looked at Lu Fan with unfriendly expressions.

Lu Fan still didn't speak, he only cared about eating meat and drinking.

"Oh shit."

The two men in black drew their knives at the same time and slashed at Lu Fan.

"Bang, bang!"

Lu Fan punched twice, and the two men in black beside him groaned and flew out.

"boom!"

The two flew far away and fell heavily to the ground.

After landing, there was no more sound.

The remaining three men in black were so frightened that they stood there for a while before remembering to run.

"Help!"

They ran and shouted.

Lu Fan had already held the bow in his hand, and shot two consecutive arrows.

The two men in black fell down.

There was only one man in black left, who staggered in fright and fell to the ground.

Before he got up, he lost control of his body and kept rolling down the mountain.

After finally stopping, he got up and ran regardless of the pain all over his body.

Shouting while running, "Help!"

"Help!"

The shrill cry echoed in the mountains.

Lu Fan frowned.

This guy, what are you calling?

It will attract a lot of people.

That has to be chased.

Lu Fan put the last piece of barbecue into his mouth, picked up the jug, raised his neck, gurgled, drank the rest of the wine, then picked up the bow and arrow, and chased after him.

After a long time, the man finally calmed down and stopped barking.

But many have heard voices.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

More than a dozen men in black greeted them.

The man stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"call out!"

A cracking sound rang out.

The sharp arrow arrived in an instant.

"careful!"

As soon as someone shouted, the arrow arrived.

"puff!"

The sharp arrow pierced through the man's back heart, and blood spattered.

The man fell to the ground.

The rest of the men in black didn't dare to step forward, they all drew their knives in their hands, and looked in the direction of Lu Fan with vigilance.

But nothing was seen.

"Head, what should I do?"

More than a dozen men in black were terrified, not knowing what to do.

The leader was quite calm, pointed to the direction where Lu Fan was, and shouted to the two people around him: "You two, go and have a look."

"what?"

Those two people looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them dared to move.

"Aren't you going soon?"

The leader was a little annoyed.

"Oh."

The two walked forward slowly.

Lu Fan had already left his original position and changed direction.

"what happened?"

More men in black appeared and surrounded them.

"A brother died."

The leader pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He was shot to death."

Everyone asked, "Who was shot to death?"

The man shook his head, "I don't know."

"Damn, what a guts!"

"Even dare to kill our people?"

"Are you looking for death?"

The people in black were so angry that they cursed.

"The arrow came from that direction."

The leader pointed forward.

"Go, have a look."

The men in black began to search around.

Lu Fan hid in the dark, watching them from a distance, and disappeared before those people approached.

"Let's go, go back and report to the head."

After searching for a long time, but found nothing, the men in black could only temporarily stop.

They carried the body and walked back along the way they had come.

Lu Fan quietly followed behind them.

Watching them go up a mountain, they saw the guard posts along the way, and the man in black running down the mountain.

Lu Fan knew that the second horse thief lair was on the mountain.

He quietly disappeared, took out a map, and marked the mountain.

continue!

……

……

three days later.

morning.

in a valley.

The sound of rumbling water almost covered up all the sounds.

A waterfall pours down the mountain wall.

I don't know how many years have passed, and the flowing water has continuously washed down, forming a pool of water.

The pool water is crystal clear.

Lu Fan sat on the big rock beside Tan, practicing with his eyes closed.

Here is a hiding place he found.

In the evening, he practiced here.

During the day to find the whereabouts of the horse thief.

He tied that horse in the valley and never took it out again.

The things you carry are hidden in the cave and are not easy to be found.

He changed tactics.

Eat and practice in the valley.

When he went out to look for horse thieves, he stopped doing it.

Instead, hide in the dark and follow the horse thief to find the horse thief's lair.

A lot of horse thieves have come out recently.

A group of at least a dozen people.

Lu Fan guessed that these horse thieves should have sensed something and were looking for him on purpose.

Therefore, it is not good for him to show up again.

But for him, it's actually a good thing.

This instead gave him a chance.

Let him hide in the dark and better find out the details of the horse thief.

In three days, he found two more hilltops of horse thieves and marked them on the map.

Together with the previous ones, a total of five hills are marked.

carry on.

After breakfast, Lu Fan left the valley and explored areas he had never been to.

He's fast, but that doesn't stop him from finding someone.

Mainly rely on eyes and ears.

Especially ear power.

The mountain was quiet, and Lu Fan's hearing was excellent, and he could hear far away.

He watched and listened as he walked, and soon climbed over several hills.

Suddenly, there were bursts of voices from the col in front.

Although the voice was not loud, it came into Lu Fan's ears clearly.

He could even feel the emotion of the speaker, with anger.

"Oh shit!"

"Too deceiving!"

"Damn horse thief, why don't you die?"

"God is not open, let these scourges harm the world."

"Why didn't anyone take care of them?"

More than one person spoke, at least three or five people.

Everyone seems to be in a bad mood, as if they have been greatly wronged.

It should be a hunter, right?

Was robbed by horse thieves again?

Lu Fan guessed and walked over quietly.

"Who said no one took care of them?"

A familiar voice rang out.

"I saw someone kill several horse thieves that day."

"Yes."

Another familiar voice sounded, "I saw it too, it's really refreshing."

"really?"

"Hurry up and listen."

Hearing this, Lu Fan knew who the two people who spoke just now were.

It was the two hunters he met last time, one tall and one short.

Unexpectedly, these two people were still in the mountains.

He took a closer look, sure enough.

There were seven people in total, all dressed as hunters, chatting together.

Those two were among them.

"Speaking of that day, it was really exciting."

The short man said: "We met a young hero. He was alone. With a knife and a bow, he killed those horse thieves and ran away with their heads in their arms."

"Yeah, I've never seen anything like that."

The tall man answered, "He is truly a hero. He is so courageous. He dared to fight horse thieves at a young age. How can we be so cowardly like us?"

"There are other people like this?"

"I really want to see you."

"I just don't know if there is a chance?"

The eyes of the other people were a little brighter, and some even clenched their fists, looking quite excited, "We are not afraid, if the horse thieves dare to rob me again, I will fight them."

"Hurry up and keep your voice down, the horse thief really heard us, we all have to die!"

Someone persuaded: "It's fine to talk about these words at home. If you really spread the word, how many heads do you have?"

"Humph!"

The man lost his temper.

He just had a mouthful, and he didn't dare to resist if he really wanted to.

"Cough cough!"

Lu Fan coughed lightly and showed his figure.

Everyone was terrified, and when they looked back, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, instead of relaxing, the two people who had met Lu Fan once were even more panicked.

With horror in their eyes, the two stood up suddenly, bowed their heads slightly towards Lu Fan, opened their mouths, wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

"what happened?"

"who is he?"

"Do you know?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, the others were a little puzzled.

"Sorry, we shouldn't have talked about you behind your back."

The short man was the first to react and cupped his hands at Lu Fan.

"Sorry, sorry."

The tall man also came back to his senses, with a look of shame on his face, "You must not be as knowledgeable as us."

"Don't say any more in the future."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Sit down."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Don't dare to say it again."

The two nodded quickly, but did not dare to sit down.

Only then did the other people understand, and they all stood up together, looking at Lu Fan with unison.

There was surprise, admiration, and a little fear.

"It was you."

"so amazing!"

"Sure enough, he is a young hero!"

Several people clasped their fists and said a few compliments.

But it's all from the heart.

"All sit down."

Lu Fan motioned for everyone to sit down, and sighed: "We are all people with the same disease, so don't be so polite."

He decided to inquire about the horse thief from these people.

After all, they are all hunters in the mountains, and they will more or less know about the situation of the horse thief.

When they met last time, if the two of them didn't say anything, they must have had some scruples.

But today is different.

"it is good."

Everyone nodded and sat down.

"Dare to ask the hero Gao's name."

Seeing that Lu Fan had no malicious intentions, the short man asked boldly.

"My name is Lu Shan, how about you?"

"It turned out to be Lu Yingxiong."

The short man pointed to himself, "My name is Cheng Hai."

"His name is Liu Jin."

"Ma Qin."

"Zhao Hu."

"Sun Dong."

……

"We're all hunters in the neighborhood."

Cheng Hai smiled and asked, "I don't know where Lu Yingxiong comes from?"

"I'm also from Fengyi County."

Lu Fan didn't hide anything, "It's from Guyuan Village."

"Oh."

"I know that village."

"It was attacked by horse thieves a few years ago, and many people died."

"It's terrible."

Everyone answered the words one after another, and their words were quite regretful.

"My parents died at the hands of horse thieves."

Lu Fan sighed: "So, I have a bloody feud with the horse thief."

"I see."

"Ugh!"

"It's not easy for you either."

"Worse than us."

Everyone felt the same, and they felt more of a common hatred for Lu Fan.

"Could it be that you are here to seek revenge from the horse thief?"

Cheng Hai easily thought of this and asked.

"Yes."

Lu Fan nodded.

"But, you're only alone."

Although he has seen how powerful Lu Fan is, Cheng Hai still has doubts in his heart, "Can it be done?"

"Whether it's okay or not, you have to try."

Lu Fan clenched his fists, and his face was a little more angry, "I have been waiting for four years, and I don't want to wait any longer. This time, I came here just to kill myself."

"it is good!"

"Have courage!"

"It's really courageous!"

Everyone was full of praise for Lu Fan.

"Do you know that it was the horse thief who attacked Guyuan Village back then?"

Lu Fan asked tentatively.

"do not know."

Everyone is shaking their heads.

"Ok."

Lu Fan glanced at the expressions of the crowd, he didn't look like he was deliberately hiding it, and asked again: "Do you know where the horse thief's lair is?"

"This……"

Everyone hesitated.

"You don't want to be bullied by horse thieves all the time, do you?"

Lu Fan said: "Although I killed horse thieves for revenge, don't you hate horse thieves? Don't you want them to die?"

"We are worried about you."

Cheng Hai sighed: "Isn't it a lair for thousands of horse thieves to be alone?"

"Yes."

Liu Jin also persuaded: "It's okay for you to kill a few horse thieves who are alone outside. If you really get to the lair of horse thieves, no matter how strong you are, it's not enough."

"It's okay, I have a measure."

Only then did Lu Fan realize that the other party had good intentions, and his face softened a lot, "Just tell me."

Everyone looked at each other and asked for their opinions.

"Okay, let me tell you."

Cheng Hai was the first to get up, pointed to the hill not far away, and said, "In that direction, if you climb over three hills, you can see a high mountain, which is where the horse thieves are staying."

"Why don't you take me to see?"

Lu Fan said: "After the thing is done, there must be a big thank you!"

"Thank you so much."

Cheng Hai quickly waved his hands, "Helping you is also helping ourselves."

"only……"

He looked distressed and seemed extremely hesitant, "It's not that I don't want to take you there, I really don't dare, recently horse thieves are looking for people everywhere like crazy, I really don't dare to get too close to them."

"alright."

Lu Fan couldn't force it, took out a map, spread it on the ground, pointed to the location Cheng Hai just mentioned, and asked, "Is this it?"

Cheng Hai stared at the map for a long time, but shook his head, "I don't understand."

"right."

Lu Fan made a shallow mark on the map and saved it for later verification.

"Who else knows the other hills of horse thieves?"

"I."

Liu Jin said first, "There are also over there."

In less than a morning, these people told Lu Fan everything they knew.

Not only the lairs of the horse thieves, but also the number of horse thieves, their general strength, and even the name of the leader, as long as they knew, they all said it out.

There are five more markers on Lu Fan's map.

Add up, there are ten places in total.

It can be regarded as a good harvest.

All that's left is to verify.

"Thank you, everyone, for telling me so much."

Lu Fan clasped his fists at everyone, "However, don't tell others about this matter. After all, there are too many people talking, and it would be bad to spread it to horse thieves."

"do not worry."

"Will not."

"We promise to keep this secret for you."

"You just go ahead and do it boldly."

"Be careful with everything."

"Don't be brave."

"Hit if you can, and run if you can't."

"A good man never suffers from immediate losses."

"No matter what, we must save our lives."

Everyone returned the gift together and asked a few words.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed, and it has been more than a month since Lu Fan came out.

Today is December [-]st.

morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance and opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/400
Power: 81.49
Agility: 23.68
Mental Power: 26.84
Physical strength: 53.71
Cultivation: fifth grade

Kung Fu: Vientiane town magic power sixth level (2010/5000)

Martial arts: Liu Yushen's body skills are perfect, thousands of hammers and hundreds of exercises are perfect
Assignable Attribute Points: 63.92
For more than a month, Lu Fan's various attributes increased slightly.

The realm of Wanxiang Suppressing Demon Art is also steadily improving.

The good news is that his distributable attributes have increased significantly.

A full increase of more than 20 points.

The main reason, of course, is to eat well.

Lu Fan has been living in the valley at night and often goes out during the day. He has hunted a lot of prey and collected a lot of valuable medicinal materials.

During the recent period, he basically found out the situation of all the horse thieves, and he only went out to hunt and gather medicine.

At other times, I just stay in the valley, practice and eat.

By the way, wait for someone.

Lu Fan looked at the sky, it was almost noon.

Cooking.

He got up and went to the waterfall to wash the meat and vegetables.

Stewed wild boar for lunch today.

Just in the morning, Lu Fan had just hunted a wild boar and hadn't had time to eat it.

Just try something new at noon.

He lit the fire, set up the pot, added water, and started to boil.

Then cut the cleaned meat and put it in the pot.

Put all kinds of wild mushrooms in, and add some seasoning.

Just simmer slowly.

On the other side, cook the rice on top.

The outdoor life these days has made Lu Fan good at cooking.

The meals made by hand are delicious.

After a while, the aroma of the food began to waft out.

Lu Fan lifted the lid of the pot, added some water, and some ingredients.

As soon as he put the lid on the pot, he suddenly felt a little alert, turned his head to look at the grass not far away, and frowned slightly.

someone is coming!

But soon, his brows relaxed.

He knew who was coming.

With the growth of strength, it is no longer possible for the visitor to hide from him.

"Come out, I know you're coming."

Lu Fan smiled.

The person he was waiting for finally arrived.

It indicates that the siege of horse thieves is about to begin.

"what?"

The visitor gave a slight snort, as if surprised.

Immediately afterwards, a person appeared in the grass, he frowned slightly, and walked towards Lu Fan.

It was Ye Wuchen.

Along the way, Lu Fan left marks for Ye Wuchen, and the final location was in this valley.

"Your strength has improved a lot?"

Ye Wuchen was surprised, and there was even a trace of vigilance in his eyes.

Lu Fan's growth rate far exceeded his imagination.

It even gave him a sense of urgency, as well as the anxiety of being closely pursued.

If this continues, even he will be surpassed?

How can this be?

"It's incomparable to you."

Lu Fan said modestly, "It's more of a fluke to find you, and your oversight."

"Are you hungry?"

"I smelled the smell of meat. I couldn't hold it back. I accidentally made a noise and let me hear it."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "I'm sure you didn't eat all this way, okay?"

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry."

Ye Wuchen thought about it for a while, he was really careless just now.

Maybe he was really distracted by the smell of meat.

It seems that Lu Fan is not as strong as he thought.

"What did you make, so fragrant?"

"Boar stew with mushrooms."

Lu Fan lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma came to his nostrils immediately, "How about it? Let's eat together at noon?"

"You'll still enjoy it."

Ye Wuchen praised: "Wherever you go, you won't lose your mouth."

"That's for sure."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "For me, nothing is more important than eating."

"I like your honesty."

Ye Wuchen sat down next to Lu Fan, smelled it vigorously, and became more and more hungry, "It seems that I can also have a good meal with you and have a full meal."

"It's not like you."

Lu Fan joked, "In my eyes, you are an out-of-the-world person who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and you should not be a person who is greedy for food."

"Stop teasing me."

Ye Wuchen glared at Lu Fan, "Do you go hungry for a few days?"

"Haha."

Lu Fan laughed.

"Almost ready."

Lu Fan took out two bowls, spoons and chopsticks, and handed them to Ye Wuchen, "Go and wash the dishes."

"Row."

Ye Wuchen took the bowl and chopsticks rather helplessly, he never thought that he would do this kind of thing one day.

This Lu Fan is really special.

People can make changes without realizing it.

He was relatively unaffected.

People like Su Mu, Yang Cheng, Pei Jun, and Xu Bin were all deeply influenced by Lu Fan, and even their fate might be changed because of Lu Fan.

And Qin Yu, such a stubborn person, seems to be making changes recently.

Is it also because of Lu Fan?

Lu Fan turned off the fire, picked up the pot, found a large flat rock, and placed it on top.

Ye Wuchen came over with bowls, chopsticks and spoons and handed them to Lu Fan.

After serving the meal, the two sat down facing each other.

"Try it."

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and slowly savored the taste.

"Well, it's delicious."

"Actually, the most delicious ones are mushrooms."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Try it again."

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen tasted another piece of mushroom, nodded again and again, "It's really good."

"Eat more if you like it. If it's not enough, let's make more."

Lu Fan was worried that he couldn't eat meat, but Ye Wuchen came to help him solve it.

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen ate the meat, feeling a little regretful, "Unfortunately, there is no wine."

"You wait."

Lu Fan got up to get the wine.

Before going up the mountain, I specially bought a jar of wine and brought it up the mountain.

There is still a little left in a month.

Not long after, Lu Fan came back with a wine jug and a jug in his hand, smiling.

"The wine jar is for you, and the jug is for me."

"Okay."

Ye Wuchen was very pleasantly surprised, took the wine jar and looked at it, and found that it had bottomed out.

"Come on, cheers."

"cheers."

The two touched each other with the jug and jug, smiled at each other, and drank heavily.

The distance between each other has unknowingly shortened a lot.

After eating and drinking, Ye Wuchen seemed to have more to say, and nodded slightly at Lu Fan, "I will make a note of this meal, and I will definitely treat you back another day."

"it is good."

Lu Fan took out the map, laid it on the stone, and said, "Come on, let me explain it to you in detail."

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen glanced at the map, and saw that it was densely packed with marks.

"A total of twelve horse thieves."

Lu Fan pointed to the map and said, "I've traveled the entire mountain range these days, and I'm absolutely able to determine where these horse thieves are hiding."

"I have basically figured out the guards, sentries, and general strength of each horse thief, and marked them on the map."

"After I've told you, you should take note of it and tell the leader when you go back."

Lu Fan began to introduce in detail.

The more Ye Wuchen listened, the more frightened he became.

It's too detailed.

With this map, exterminating the horse thieves is easy.

"Lu Fan, you really..."

Ye Wuchen was in a very complicated mood at this time, he didn't know how to describe it, and gave Lu Fan a thumbs up.

He is seldom convincing, but at this time he couldn't help but say to Lu Fan, "I admire!"

"Stop praising me."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You can do it anyway."

"I really can't do it."

Ye Wuchen said seriously: "I don't have the patience, let alone be as diligent as you, taking the trouble to find out and confirm again and again."

He didn't need to think about how much effort Lu Fan had put in this month.

If the horse thieves can be wiped out, there is no doubt that Lu Fan will be the first.

"Okay, hurry up and send the map back."

Lu Fan put away the map and handed it to Ye Wuchen, "I'll wait here, and listen to the horse thief's movements by the way."

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen nodded, put away the map, and clasped his fists together, "I'm leaving, be careful yourself."

"go quickly."

"it is good."

……

……

After 20 days.

December 21th.

in the afternoon.

Lu Fan was meditating in the valley when he suddenly heard a slight sound.

He opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the valley.

Not long after, a group of people quietly entered the valley, almost without any sound.

The person walking in the front is Li Yongtai.

Behind them are ten captains.

Behind them are Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning, Song Yu, Yang Cheng, and so on.

There are hundreds of people.

Judging by the posture, the entire Dragon Shadow Guard is here.

Lu Fan got up and greeted him.

"I have seen the commander-in-chief."

"Okay, don't say too many polite words."

Li Yongtai waved his hand, "Let me tell you about the combat mission."

"Yes."

Lu Fan responded loudly.

"Ten captains stay, plus Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen, the rest should disperse, let's go to rest."

Li Yongtai ordered: "According to what I just said, set up all the sentry posts and don't let anyone approach them. If you encounter horse thieves, shoot and kill them, and don't let anyone go!"

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed, leaving only ten captains, plus Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen.

"Before I came, I had already drawn up a battle plan."

While talking, Li Yongtai took out the map and spread it on the ground, "And I have explained to the ten captains and Ye Wuchen, now I will say it again, you all listen carefully."

"Yes."

The crowd agreed in unison.

"The operation starts tonight, and the goal is to wipe out all twelve horse thieves!"

Li Yongtai pointed to the marks on the map and said: "You twelve people, each of you happens to lead a team."

"The first team, led by Song Xiucheng, led 42 Dragon Shadow Guards, sneaked into the camp of Han Daozhang's horse bandits, and pulled out several sentry posts."

"Then lurk in the mountains."

"When the general offensive is launched, you will kill and set fire to create chaos."

"This team of horse thieves is considered to be the strongest. You must be careful and don't be careless."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai paused for a while, then glanced at Song Xiucheng, "Remember to bring all the Dragon Shadow Guards back safely."

"Yes!"

Song Xiucheng declared his opinion loudly, "Please rest assured, Sir Commander, I guarantee that there will be a lot of them."

Hearing this, Lu Fan already understood.

Han Daozhang, the strongest horse thief, was handed over to Song Xiucheng.

This is also normal, after all, Song Xiucheng is the strongest among the ten captains, and it is said that he has reached the peak of the third rank.

It is still stronger than the current Lu Fan.

"Ah."

Li Yongtai nodded slightly, "In addition to our Dragon Shadow Guards, there are also elites selected from the Zhennan Army who participated in the operation tonight, a total of 1 people."

"6000 of them, together with us, are also divided into twelve teams, and each team is responsible for attacking a horse thief."

"When the general offensive is launched, they will attack the horse thief camp from both sides."

"And you, will attack from the top of the mountain."

"In this way, under siege from three sides, the horse thieves are bound to be defeated and flee down the mountain."

"Another 6000 people from the Zhennan Army will guard at the foot of the mountain, at various exits, and kill the escaped horse thieves."

"I don't believe any horse thief will get away with it."

"This mission is to wipe out everything, leaving no one alive."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai's majestic eyes swept over everyone's faces, and asked, "Can it be done?"

"can!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"The operation will unfold in the middle of the night."

Li Yongtai continued: "When the time comes, the sound of the drum will prevail."

"Yes."

Everyone responded together.

"In order to prevent being discovered by horse thieves, the Zhennan Army is hiding under the mountain, and has not yet begun to enter this mountain range."

Li Yongtai said: "After dark, they will start to enter the mountain."

"And then, we will act together as well."

"Each team is responsible for its own horse thief, starting from the outer guard post to clean up."

"Go all the way to the top of the mountain, lie in wait, and wait for the general attack to begin."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai took a special look at Lu Fan, "You understand."

"clear."

Lu Fan knew that Li Yongtai specifically told him about the task arrangement.

Before coming, the other captains should already know the battle plan.

Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to lead a team alone.

For him, this is another golden opportunity.

This battle, not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

Regardless of the strength of the opponent, he must be foolproof.

Even if he is allowed to lead the team to attack Han Daoshang, it will be no problem at all, he believes in his own strength.

However, in Li Yongtai's eyes, he still trusts Song Xiucheng more.

Only then did Song Xiucheng hand over the toughest bone to crack.

Very normal.

It's not normal for Lu Fan.

No matter how powerful he is, in Li Yongtai's heart, he still cannot compare with Song Xiucheng.

After all, how long has Song Xiucheng been with Li Yongtai?
How long has he been following?

"Okay, let me talk about the goals of each team."

Li Yongtai pointed to the map again, and said: "The second team, captain Liu Tianfeng, has 42 members, and the target horse thief Fan Yu, you must keep in mind the positions of each sentry post, and don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

Liu Tianfeng, the captain of the second team, agreed loudly.

Li Yongtai then assigned tasks.

From Jiang Pengju, the captain of the third team, to Ye Wuchen, the captain of the eleventh team, everyone explained in detail.

"Team No. 12, captain Lu Fan, and a total of 40 members, the target horse thief Han Chuang."

Li Yongtai pointed to the map with his finger, there was the last mark, "You are more familiar with the specific situation than me, so I won't go into details. But you must remember one thing, you must wipe out all the horse thieves, leaving no one behind!"

"Yes!"

Lu Fan agreed loudly.

"Everyone has also seen that there are a total of twelve horse thieves, distributed in a zigzag shape."

Li Yongtai wrote a reply on the map, "There are eight horse thieves on the outside and four horse thieves on the inner circle. This forms a solid defensive formation, which can echo back and forth and support each other."

"That's why we have to attack at the same time to cut off the connection between the horse thieves."

"As long as the general offensive starts, they will soon lose their positions and form a rout."

"You have to keep in mind that you must be resolute and quick in killing the enemy, and give a fatal blow when the horse thief has no reaction."

Li Yongtai looked around at the crowd, and said: "Don't be procrastinating and delay the opportunity of the battle."

"Yes."

The crowd agreed in unison.

Lu Fan was still looking at the map, thinking about what Li Yongtai said just now.

There are eight peaks in the outer circle and four peaks in the inner circle.

But right in the middle, there is a mountain peak.

That mountain peak is the highest, surrounded by stars like the moon.

Lu Fan once suspected that there was also a team of horse thieves hidden on that mountain.

He went to investigate several times, but he never found any horse thieves entering or leaving the mountain.

There is no one guarding the foot of the mountain.

I asked a few waves of hunters, and they all said they didn't know.

After all, it is considered the very center of horse thieves, and no hunter dares to go there.

However, Lu Fan was still worried. He went to investigate several times recently, but found nothing.

He could only rule it out first.

Hearing Li Yongtai talk about the layout of the horse thief today, he felt a little more suspicious.

After all, the location of that mountain is too important.

It is unlikely that it will be free.

Why are there no horse thieves coming in and out?

Is there some secret hidden?
"Lu Fan, here is your team list."

Li Yongtai took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Fan, "Go and gather the team members and arrange actions."

"Yes."

Lu Fan took the list and looked at it. There were many names he was familiar with.

"Okay, let's all go back and get ready."

Li Yongtai waved his hand, "Arrange the team members to eat early, and act immediately after dark."

"Yes."
