Hanshan Zhenren, masters such as Sun Baihong, Han Pingshan, Li Shuo, and dozens of leaders of the gangs in the rivers and lakes led officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of disciples in the rivers and lakes to get off the ship and land in Beiludang, Xidongting Mountain.

Li Shuo glanced at the reed stems and leaves inside the North Reed.

This western Dongting Mountain island is in Taihu Lake and is heavily damp.

After another night, the stems and leaves were covered with thick frost, like thin snow. Although the reed marsh was covered with yellow reeds, it was covered with frost and could not burn moisture, and fire attack was useless.

When everyone saw this Beiludang, which was at least ten miles apart, their faces looked heavy.

People who often travel to the world know that don’t enter the forest or pass by the mountains quickly, otherwise they will be most likely to be ambushed.

In this large area of ​​northern reeds, the reeds are almost taller than people, dense and tall, covering their views. Once they enter this boundless reeds, they may encounter lurking enemies at any time.

This area of ​​more than ten miles of Beiludang is easy even if it is ambushed and arranged thousands of water bandits.

Unless you are riding on a tall horse, you will not see any figures a hundred feet away. You can only see reeds swaying and shaking, which is surprising and unsure. I don’t know how many people are ambushing.

Moreover, because of the tight transportation ships and inconvenient cargo, only a few senior gang leaders brought war horses to the island.

"This is the famous Beiludang Island in the West Dongting Mountain! In the Beiludang, the reeds are dense and towering, and it is easy to plant ambush.

The officials and soldiers of the court sent troops to clear the attacks. Even if they broke through the water ghost intercept and rushed through Taihu Lake, they all returned in the northern reeds and were unable to attack the head of the Giant Whale Gang on Piaomiao Peak. What are your gang leaders' opinions on this!"

True Man Hanshan looked solemnly, looking at the boundless Beiludang ahead, and said in a deep voice.

"Real person, this Beiludang is too dangerous. Can there be other roads leading to the Piaomiao Peak of the Main Steer?"

The little gang leader asked in surprise.

"Yes, you can also land in the Silong Mountain area southeast of the island. However, the terrain near Silong Mountain is steep and mountainous and cliffy, and it is easy to set up ambush, and the degree of danger is not even below the Beiludang. There is also a swamp near Xiao Xiegu Mountain, which can flow through water, but will fall into the mud. Are you willing to bring a group of people to try it?"

Hanshan Zhenren said lightly.

The leaders of the gang looked at each other and couldn't help but shut up, stopping talking about detours. There were only two or three roads to attack the Giant Whale Gang at the Piaomiao Peak, and none of them were easy to walk.

Hanshan Zhenren spent nearly many years collecting information about the West Dongting Mountain Island. It is easy to say that he knows it. Compared with the cliff valleys of Silong Mountain and the swamps of Xiao Xiegu Mountain, it seems that this Beiludang is better to walk around.

At this time, a navy captain said to the leaders of the gangs: "You don't have to worry too much, gang leaders! Our coalition forces have five masters in the Grandmaster realm. The Giant Whale Gang is just a master, the white-faced scholar Liu Hong. This is a force that the Giant Whale Gang cannot match. Even Liu Hong dares to face the five major masters of our army head-on.

Most of our coalition's three thousand navy troops and ten thousand disciples are elite soldiers of the third level or above. The Giant Whale Gang is known as tens of thousands of water bandits, but at least half are refugees recruited in recent years and have only been a year or two for water battles. There are not many real elite soldiers, so it is not to be afraid.

Moreover, our court officers and soldiers have fought with the Giant Whale Gang many times and have long figured out the location of the Giant Whale Gang's granary. Although this Taihu Lake is thousands of miles away, it only has Piaomiao Peak on the West Dongting Mountain. There is a large granary on the belly of the mountain, which can be used as a large granary for tens of thousands of people.

The other small islands are less than a mile in size, and they are neither dangerous nor too dangerous to guard, and they are extremely humid, and the food is very easy to be moldy and cannot be stored. The officials and soldiers of the court have been there before and returned fruitlessly.

Before the war, the prefect Zhao, the instructions were very clear. Our officers and soldiers and the Jianghu coalition had several times the advantage. As long as we advance steadily, we will attack the head of the Giant Whale Gang and destroy their granaries, we will be a complete victory.

Even if the Giant Whale Gang water bandits escaped from war, their granaries could not escape. Even if tens of thousands of people and horses had no food for a day, they would collapse without fighting and would be dead."

When the little leaders heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

This is reasonable. The coalition forces have the absolute advantage of the five great masters and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and disciples. Being steady and winning is enough to determine the world with one battle.

"Yes, we have several times the advantage. As long as we fight steadily and push over, we can defeat the Giant Whale Gang! Let's do this, send disciples along the way as the vanguard, enter Beiludang, see if there are ambushers inside, and the rest of the troops are ready to respond in the rear. Which gang leader is willing to take this important task?"

Hanshan Zhenren glanced at the leaders of all the gangs.

The leaders of all gangs immediately turned around and looked into the distance.

Becoming the vanguard of the coalition forces and exploring the dangerous land of Beiludang will definitely take huge risks. If the main force behind the rear does not support in time and loses hundreds of disciples, it will be equivalent to destroying a small and medium-sized gang.

They were originally loose coalitions formed by various gangs of all sizes in Wu County. They were not affiliated with each other, so they naturally did not want to take this huge danger alone.

The true man Hanshan's eyes swept over the gang leaders one by one, shook his head, swept over General Manager Liu and Han Shu, paused for a moment, and asked, "A thousand disciples of Tianying Sect, are you willing to be the vanguard of the army?"

General Liu was helpless, and the leader of the Tianying Sect, Han Crow, never showed up. He spoke lightly and was unable to oppose the order of the great leader of the coalition army, Zhenren Hanshan. He gritted his teeth and bowed, "I have a thousand elite troops in Tianying Sect, and I am willing to be the pioneer of the army and go to Beiludang to explore the way."

A Chou hid among the Tianying Sect disciples and did not dare to emerge. In the past, he accompanied Su Chen to steal things from the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and was quite guilty about Hanshan Zhenren and the Taoist priests of Hanshan Taoist Temple.

"Well, okay. Then let General Liu and Young Master Han Shu lead a thousand disciples of Tianying Sect as pioneers. However, you are still too dangerous. You are still lacking a master commander. Otherwise, if you meet the white-faced scholar Liu Hong, you will easily suffer losses."

Hanshan Zhenren nodded in approval.

"I'll go!"

Han Pingshan said calmly that he had a deep friendship with the leader of the Tianying Sect, and could not watch the disciples of the Tianying Sect take risks on their own.

"Gang Master Han is kind and righteous, and he is worthy of being the first-class hero in Wujun!"

"Brother Han is a master of Wujun, and his strength is absolutely strong enough. He is best at defending with a heavy sword. Even if he encounters Liu Hong or is even surrounded by water bandits, he can stand firm and wait for help, and there will be no danger for a while."

The leaders of the gang couldn't help but agree.

"Thank you, Uncle Han!"

Han Shu hurriedly thanked.

"Since Brother Han is willing to volunteer to go, you will lead a thousand disciples of Tianying Sect as the vanguard and enter Beiludang to see if there are any ambushers.

If you find an ambush, don't panic. The disciples of our gang will come to support immediately. If there are no enemy troops in Beiludang, our army will pass quickly and attack Piaomiao Peak, the head of the Giant Whale Gang."

Hanshan Zhenren said, and then ordered a personal disciple behind him to say, "Qingshi, you are familiar with the situation of this island. Follow Master Han to avoid losing your way."

“Yes, Master!”

Among the group of top Taoist masters in Hanshan Taoist Temple, a middle-aged Taoist priest immediately came out to receive the order, and it was Taoist priest Qingshi, one of the remaining four personal disciples.

"Okay, since Priest Qingshi is familiar with the roads on the island, it will be even more convenient!"

Han Pingshan was silent for a moment, and led thousands of Tianying Sect disciples as pioneers to explore the way inside Beiludang with his commander Liu Rufeng, Han Shu, and Taoist Qingshi.

The progress of the 1,000 disciples of Tianying Sect was quite smooth.

They spread out in a word and carefully searched the inner carpet inside Beiludang, without letting go of any corner, but did not find any ambush of water bandits.

Han Pingshan led a thousand disciples of the Tianying Sect through this land of more than ten miles of Beiludang, and sent a spy back to report to the real person Hanshan and the gang leaders that they could continue to move forward.

"It's amazing. The Beiludang water plants are dense and suitable for setting up ambushers. Why didn't the Giant Whale Gang ambush people in advance here?"

Some gang leaders were very confused.

"It is probably because the Giant Whale Gang saw that we were numerous and had many top experts, and he felt that we could not fight us even if we were ambushed. So he simply shrank the water bandits to the Piaomiao Peak Headquarters and prepared to take the risk and guard the mountain gate to the end?"

"Isn't this just right? We can quickly pass through this dangerous land of Beiludang."

"Let's go, it's already dawn, don't waste time!"

Seeing that there were no large-scale ambush in Beiludang, the leaders of the gang also came to rest assured.

True Man Hanshan ordered the spies to continue to lead a thousand disciples of the Tianying Sect to advance and explore the way forward for the main force.

The subsequent main force entered Beiludang under the leadership of the masters, gang leaders of all sizes, hall masters, elders, and priests, and other first-class masters, and was ready to quickly pass through this dangerous land.

...

It was early morning and the sky was gradually brightening.

The coalition forces entered Beiludang and walked for several miles, just halfway through.

"Look, what is that?"

"Mist, heavy fog! Come to us!"

Suddenly, a thick fog rolled over, covering the Beiludang, which was more than ten miles in a very short time.

The frost and moisture here are too heavy. It is definitely not that the Beilu Dang is on fire, but just a large fog rolls in.

The disciples of the Jianghu were suddenly panicked, and the thick fog choked. Everyone didn't understand what was going on. They stopped in surprise and looked at the leader of the gang, not daring to leave again.

Before, although I was in the reeds, I could at least jump up and see the movements around a hundred feet away. I knew where the fight started and where the water bandits and enemy troops appeared.

Now this strange fog suddenly started, and I couldn't see the storm that was ten or twenty feet away, and I almost became blind.

The gang leaders were leading their gang disciples, walking in the reeds for more than ten miles, and suddenly were shrouded in this bizarre choking fog, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Ahem, why did it suddenly get such a big fog??"

"What should I do?"

"No, this is the Demon Fog Array of the White Lotus Sect! A few years ago, I took my disciples to fight with the White Lotus Sect disciples near Lou County. I accidentally saw the power of this Demon Fog Array. But it was just a small half of the demon fog, which was not as wide as the Demon Fog Array in the North Reed Dang!"

A little gang leader suddenly exclaimed.

"White Lotus Sect?"

"Damn it, when did the White Lotus Sect join forces with the Giant Whale Gang?! With the reinforcements of the White Lotus Sect, wouldn't the Giant Whale Gang double its strength?!"

When many young gang leaders heard this, they were shocked and even more panicked.

The White Lotus Sect ruled Lou County, with a small territory, rarely participated in the disputes between Wujun and the world, and was not among the five major gangs in Wujun.

But this does not mean that the White Lotus Sect is not powerful.

On the contrary, the White Lotus Sect is very powerful, and its foundation does not require the five major gangs. It is just that it has been hiding in Lou County for decades and not going out, so it is not recognized as the big gang in Wu County. But even the five major gangs in Wu County cannot take root in Lou County, let alone those small gangs.
