"What a powerful secret weapon!" Although Taishi Ci did not know what it was, he understood that it was the most terrifying weapon that he had ever seen. He could not help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he had already pledged his allegiance to the Lord General, so he did not need to worry that black lumps would land on his head. Otherwise, no matter how good his martial arts were, his flesh and blood would probably be splattered everywhere.

"Lord General, since you have such a powerful secret weapon, why don't you equip all the cavalrymen?" It had already been a few months since Taishi Ci last saw this kind of black mass, and today, it was only the personal squadrons of the Lord General that had such a weapon.

"The reason why it is a secret weapon is because it is not easy to produce and the production is limited. It is impossible to equip all the teams." Actually the more important reason was that Yang Lin did not want to let his gunpowder technology spread around, he was trying to control it with his own hands.

When it was almost noon, the dense fog finally completely dispersed, and the sounds of the West Cold Cavalry's hooves could no longer be heard. Even one of the West Cold Cavalry's scout s could not be seen. Yang Lin could not help but heave a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had completely broken free from the West Cold Cavalry's encirclement.

Just then, Taishi Ci ran over from the front and reported to Yang Lin: "Lord General, there is a mountain in front of us. Trees are growing everywhere on the mountain, it is a suitable place for an ambush. According to the scout, this place is called Chaotic Stone Gang, I am worried that there will be an ambush, so send troops to scout around, what about it? "

Of course, Yang Lin knew about this place. This place was an extension of the Five Elements Mountain, and after passing this place, they would reach the Shang Ye City. But since this place was indeed suitable for ambush, Yang Lin did not dare to be careless and followed Taishi Ci to the front of the mountain.

"Send a team of cavalry to scout and use crossbows to shoot at the bushes."

Following Yang Lin's command, over a dozen cavalrymen rushed out. They ran up the hill, shooting arrows into the trees as they went, but there was no response from the trees. However, what surprised Yang Lin was that there were no wild birds flying out of the bushes.

"Something's wrong." According to common sense, there should be many wild birds in the trees, especially when a dozen cavalrymen were running at full speed. Yang Lin waved to the personal guards beside him, and more than ten personal guards rushed out.

The personal guards also ran along the edge of the trees, but they didn't shoot any arrows, instead, they threw a few iron lump s into the trees. Accompanying a loud rumbling sound, a group of West Cold Army soldiers rushed out from the thick black smoke.

These were Guo Si's cavalry troops, they were lying in ambush on the rocky mountain peak, waiting to attack the cavalry of Youzhou, but unexpectedly, they were frightened by the iron lump. They could no longer care about Guo Si's orders, and started running all over the place with their bloodied limbs.

Seeing that his ambush had been exposed, Guo Si immediately gave the order to attack. Although he was also shocked by the explosions, he did not see the power of the Thunderbolt Bomb.

Yang Lin was surprised to see so many cavalrymen lying in ambush at the Shrek Plateau. Seeing that Guo Si had completely occupied the northern path, he could only order loudly: "Taishi Ci, lead the team and advance eastward to attack. I'll cut off the rear."

Taishi Ci already knew the secret of Yang Lin and his personal guards, so he was no longer worried for Yang Lin's safety. He immediately raised the powerful crossbow in his hand and shouted towards the riders behind him.

After Guo Si's riders rushed out from the trees, they quickly gathered into a formation and gathered in the open space in front of the mountain. Then, they pounced towards Yang Lin's riders. This time, the West Cold Cavalry formed a triangular offense formation. Like a Arrows that was rushing towards their direction, it rushed towards Yang Lin's personal guards without hesitation.

swish swish swish … *

cavalry of Youzhou raised her crossbow and the Arrows flew into the air. It then turned around and descended towards West Cold Cavalry who was running at full speed, like raindrops falling from the sky. West Cold Cavalry who were sprinting fell to the ground one by one, many of them even though they were not shot to death, they were all dead.

Yang Lin brought a few thousand cavalry of Youzhou s with him and sprinted forward, wanting to break away from the pursuit of the Guo Si Cavalry. He also didn't know if Dong Zhuo had any more ambushing troops, so he could only choose to escape to the Five Element Mountain. That was Army of Montenegro's territory after all, he did not believe that Dong Zhuo would even buy it.

Sure enough, Guo Si led his cavalry to chase them for a while, but when they saw Yang Lin's cavalry entering the Five Elements Mountain, he ordered his troops to stop. Firstly, the topography of the Five Element Mountain was too complicated, and if he rashly went in, he might be ambushed by Yang Lin. Secondly, he was also a little worried that the Five Element Mountain's Army of Montenegro could not perform as much as the cavalry and might not be a match for the Army of Montenegro.

After getting rid of Guo Si's pursuers, Yang Lin led the cavalry north, ready to pass through the Five Elements Mountain and rush to the Shang Ye Country to meet up with the Union State. Although Yang Lin was not familiar with the terrain, but in order to deal with the Army of Montenegro, Chen Cang and Liu Zhi's intelligence agents had done some research on the topography of the Five Element Mountain, so they still had a rough understanding of the mountain path.

As the sky darkened, they came to the borders of Hedong County Ze County. This county was located in the Five Elements Mountain Area. The officials of the Hedong County had long lost control of the county, and there were several Army of Montenegro s active there. Since there was no other way, Yang Lin had to take the risk and pass through Ozawa County at night.

When the group passed by a dangerous valley, Yang Lin was afraid of being ambushed, and just as he was about to send his troops to scout out the place, suddenly, an innumerable amount of villagers poured out from both sides of the mountain. Some of them held blades, some held spears, and some even held wooden sticks. Of course, most of them held bows and arrows, while Arrows s had already strung their bowstrings and were facing Yang Lin's cavalry.

The reason they were called mountain people was because their clothes were tattered and they had all sorts of weapons, just like the Army of Montenegro back then. Although they had intercepted the cavalry of Youzhou, they did not attack. It seemed like they did not want to be enemies with the cavalry of Youzhou.

At that moment, a rider came running across the valley. It was a tall and sturdy man, wearing the black short suit that servants usually wore. At a glance, it was obvious that he was a servant. He sized up Yang Lin and the riders behind him with a surprised expression. He cupped his hands together and asked loudly: "Which mountain are you from? Why did you come to our territory? "

"We are from cavalry of Youzhou. We were passing by." From the big size man's surprised eyes, Yang Lin knew that he wouldn't be able to hide it. Such excellent preparation wasn't something that Zhang Tie's bandits could have. Yang Lin did not want to reveal himself, so he summoned Taishi Ci out. He pointed at Taishi Ci and said loudly: "This is our commander, Master Taishi Ci. Why are you blocking our way?"

"I guess you guys are soldiers too. Those black bandit s don't have such excellent equipment like you." The man actually revealed a smiling face and said loudly: "My name is Zhang Shun, the head of the servant from Master Zhang is here to guard against black bandit from robbing our village."

Once he heard Zhang Shun call the Army of Montenegro a black bandit, Yang Lin also heaved a sigh of relief. In this mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles, he was truly afraid of running into Army of Montenegro. His own cavalrymen could traverse the plains, but the mountains were the domain of the Army of Montenegro.

"Bighead, we just met Dong Zhuo's cavalry, we fought in a hurry, and some of them were injured, and we haven't eaten for a day, can you help us treat our wounded soldiers and get some food for us?"

Since Zhang Fu was able to establish a foothold in the mountains, his family situation should be pretty good. It shouldn't be difficult for him to arrange for several thousand people to eat. Yang Lin also wanted to know this Master Zhang and see if he could solve this problem of his.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait for a moment. I will go and request for instructions from the Master Zhang." Zhang Shun did not dare treat this as a home, he cupped his hands towards Yang Lin and Yang Lin and rode his horse back. He waved to the mountain people, who had been lying in ambush, and they came down the hill.

After around two hours, Zhang Shun rode a fat middle-aged man over. When they met, he immediately jumped down from his horse and bowed respectfully to Taishi Ci, while cupping his hands in respect to Yang Lin and the other generals.

Taishi Ci was slightly embarrassed, but under Yang Lin's encouraging gaze, he still started to chat with Master Zhang. However, with Yang Lin by his side, he was not used to having him as the main general. From time to time, he would even take a peek at Yang Lin.

Master Zhang very happily invited cavalry of Youzhou to his villa to rest, and also agreed to take care of the food for the cavalry of Youzhou. He also conveniently said: "It's so good that you all came … This year's harvest was not good, and it was not easy for the people to survive. However, the Army of Montenegro did not dare to rob outside the mountains, but only rob in the mountains. Our manpower is limited, please save your fellow villagers in Ozawa County.

It turned out that ever since the cavalry of Youzhou had moved into the Jizhou's Zhongshan, Changshan, State of Zhao, Giant Deer, and Tai Yuan factions, the Army of Montenegro didn't dare to leave the mountain to rob and rob all the counties in the mountain area. They specialized in robbing and robbing homes in these places, killing and arson, committing all sorts of crimes. They were no different from bandits, and many of them were originally bandits.

The government officials, Wealthy Classes, Scholars and Squire of Zhe County had also organized draft soldier and fought with them many times. However, these draft soldier s were not the opponent of these Army of Montenegro s and were often beaten to the point of fleeing in a sorry state. Not long after, these draft soldier became their own Army of Montenegro.

Zhang Fu was the tycoon of Oze Valley County. In order to protect his own property, he had no choice but to bring along a group of people to become the number one tycoon in Oze Valley. Different from the Army of Montenegro, he did not take the initiative to rob others, but chose to protect himself instead.

Seeing the well-equipped and mighty cavalry of Youzhou, Zhang Fu was immediately overjoyed. He had always wanted to get the protection of the officials and army, but now that the cavalry of Youzhou had come looking for him, he could ask Taishi Ci to help him eliminate these Army of Montenegro s.

Hearing that his fellow villagers had met with calamity, Taishi Ci felt very uncomfortable, and wished that he could immediately eliminate these Army of Montenegro s. But he knew clearly in his heart that the army behind him was the hussar general. Without his consent, how could he agree so easily?

"Lord Commander, protecting our fellow villagers is our cavalry of Youzhou's responsibility. We are going to join them anyway, so it's a good chance for us to kill all of them." Yang Lin saw the hesitation in Taishi Ci's eyes, but he wanted to take this opportunity to subdue Zhang Fu so that he could deal with the Army of Montenegro in the future. Furthermore, with Zhang Fu's help, defeating the Army of Montenegro would not be a difficult task.

"Very well, we will rest for a few days at your manor. If the Army of Montenegro invades, we will eliminate them. " Taishi Ci did not want to cause too much trouble, and seeing that Yang Lin had already agreed, he spoke without hesitation. Master Zhang, how many draft soldier s do you have? "
