But when Gao Shilian and Li Wangyou led the army to kill, the place where these Liaoren tribes were located was already empty.

Except for the mess all over the floor, and the pots and pans that were too late to take away, not even a dog was seen in these Liao tribes.

Regarding this situation, Li Wangyou was also very speechless.

When did these bastards become so smart?

Knowing that the rebellion failed, the army of the Tang Dynasty would come to settle accounts with them, and they all patted their asses and ran away?

If the Liao people hid in the deep mountains, it would be really fatal, and there was nowhere to find them.

Today's Tang Dynasty is not a later generation. There are many mountains in Sichuan, and all of them are virgin forests that have not been developed.

There are neither roads nor human habitation. It is simply too simple to hide thousands of people.

But Li Wangyou thought about it carefully, but denied this idea.

The Liaoren tribe is not only young and strong.

There are thousands of households in the Liao tribe, including women and children. These people all ran to the mountains with the young and strong. Where can there be so much food to support them?

The Liao people were not savages. Although they hunted, they were still the same as the people of Tang Dynasty, mainly relying on farming to support themselves.

Where the Liaoren tribe is located, many farmlands have been reclaimed in the surrounding area.

In this case, if the Liao people fail to rebel, how far can they run if they want to run away?

Gao Shilian was so angry that he ordered people to burn these empty Liaoren tribes to nothingness.

In fact, in Li Wangyou's view, there was nothing to burn.

The houses of these Liaoren tribes are all very simple thatched houses built on the back of big trees.This kind of house is called Ganlan by Liao people.

The wooden structure is used as a nest to avoid the miasma, which is extremely simple.

Burning or not burning makes no difference at all.

After missing twice in a row, Gao Shilian got annoyed and found the guide sent by Jiulong County.

The guide was also an "acquaintance" of Li Wangyou, the "warrior" yamen servant who first detonated the explosives on the mansion training ground that day.

"Old man, let me ask you, where can these people go? Do you have an idea?"

The yamen servant thought for a while and replied: "Returning to Mr. Gao's words, if these Liao people have not escaped to the depths of the mountains, then there is only Zhang Feiying, who may have hidden so many Liao people."

"Zhang Feiying? Where is that?" Gao Shilian asked puzzled.

"Back to Duke Gao, according to legend, Zhang Feiying was the place where General Zhang Fei of the Kingdom of Shu led his troops to garrison during the Three Kingdoms period. The place is sparsely populated and the forest is wild. Zhang Feiying is about seven or eight hundred steps high, and the top of the mountain is flat. Surrounded by rocks, there is only one path up the mountain, which can be described as an excellent place to hide soldiers."

Gao Shilian and Li Wangyou frowned at the servant's words.

If there is such a place here, it would not be difficult for all those Liao people to hide in Zhang Fei's camp.

Gao Shilian was puzzled and asked: "Since there is such a wonderful place to garrison troops, why didn't they send troops to guard it?"

The yamen servant smiled bitterly and said, "Back to Duke Gao, the place where Zhang Feiying is located is really inaccessible and deep in the mountains, so it doesn't make much sense to garrison troops. In the early days of Shu Kingdom, there was an official road at the foot of the mountain, and Zhang Feiying guarded the road next to the official road. The mountain is naturally a place where military strategists must fight. But now that the official road has long been abandoned, there is naturally no need to garrison troops."

His explanation in this way made everyone understand why the barracks where Zhang Fei was stationed at the beginning were now occupied by Liao people.

"In that case, let's go directly to Zhang Feiying." Gao Shilian didn't bother to care about what was special about Zhang Feiying, as long as those officials were there, he wouldn't be afraid of them running away.

Even though it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Gao Shilian did not believe that with the [-] elite soldiers in his hands, he would not be able to attack that camp.

Since entering the mountains to encircle and suppress the Liaoren, the horses of these government soldiers have been stored in Jiulong County.The mountains are densely forested and can only be climbed on foot.

The army turned around and headed towards Zhang Fei's battalion guided by the yamen servant.

Marching in the mountains and forests, Li Wangyou couldn't stop crying, and regretted coming to join in the fun.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, let alone they are still marching in the mountains and forests on foot, the hardships can be imagined.

Li Wangyou couldn't help feeling very tired, and the old man Gao Shilian also walked out of breath.

Fortunately, some clever people among the government soldiers saw that the two nobles could not walk, so they cut down bamboo and made two simple sliding poles, and let people carry Li Wangyou and Gao Shilian to continue marching.

After walking for almost a day, the army finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Zhang Feiying was located.

Li Wangyou and Gao Shilian got off the pole, looked up, both of them couldn't help but gasp.

The terrain in front of them is more dangerous than they expected...

904 Liu Bei Borrows Jingzhou

The stone mountain where Zhang Feiying is located is about 800 meters high, surrounded by cliffs, only the top of the mountain is lush and flat like a round table.

As for the passage up the mountain, as the yamen official said, there is only one narrow path to pass through.

Li Wangyou took out the binoculars from his pocket, opened it and looked towards the top of the mountain, and really saw a faint figure flashing on the top of the mountain.

Needless to say, those must be Liao people who "disappeared".

Li Wangyou admired these bureaucrats for being so decisive.

After the unsuccessful siege of Jiulong County, they retreated before the arrival of the army, and they walked so simply that all the five tribes ran to Zhang Feiying to avoid the pursuit of the Tang army. It was really straightforward.

In such a terrain, even if the Tang army is well-equipped, it would be extremely difficult to capture this flying battalion.

One man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, which describes the terrain in front of us.

Not to mention that there are thousands of strong Liao people and nearly [-] Liao people, women and children on the top of the mountain. As long as the Liao people are not stupid, sending a hundred or so archers is enough to block the entire passage up the mountain.

Even if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had armor and shields on their bodies, it was impossible for them to rush through the hundreds of meters of narrow path and attack the Liaoren under the rain of arrows.

The more Li Wangyou watched, the more frightened he became.

This kind of terrain, even if he had a dynamite bag in his hand, it seemed that it would not have any effect.

No matter how powerful a soldier is, it is impossible to throw the explosive package more than a hundred meters upwards.

Not to mention these dynamite packs weighing seven or eight catties, even if Li Wangyou opened the hook and got the grenade out, no one can throw the grenade upwards for hundreds of meters, right?

Li Wangyou was in the telescope, the more he observed, the more chilled he became.

And I heard from the yamen servant who led the way that there is actually a source of water on the top of the Feiying Mountain, and it is hard to die of being sleepy.

What's more, the Liao people certainly didn't move here in a hurry. If there are three thousand acres on the top of the mountain, they can even reclaim a lot of land, and they can be self-sufficient in a short time.

As for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, if they couldn't attack this flying battalion for a while, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
