Chapter 173: The General's Cliff is ambushed
Li Xiaozhou got the general's order, and hurriedly rushed to the direction of the general's cliff with a thousand leopard guards.
When Li Xiaozhou heard Qin Yi mention what happened to Zhou Ran and others in the Shuangta Temple, he secretly kept a heart in his heart. I have been in Goat Town for some days, and I am naturally no stranger to Li Xiaozhou of General Cliff. If the general's attack on the Twin Towers Temple had been planned by the enemy, then the general's cliff would not be safe. It is very likely that the enemy has already laid an ambush there, just waiting for the general to throw himself into the net. If the general's encounter at the Twin Towers Temple was just an emergency, the General's Cliff would naturally be an excellent ambush location. Therefore, Li Xiaozhou decided to divide the troops into two ways.
Gui Xi had been arguing with Li Xiaozhou for a long time as a deputy general, and Gui Xi couldn't have been more aware of how dangerous the operation of the General's Cliff was. It was precisely because he knew that he wanted to fight with Li Xiaozhou. But there is no way, it is the fine tradition of Leopard Taowei to take the lead, and it is naturally Li Xiaozhou who goes to the General's Cliff, while Gui Xi stays behind and waits in hiding next to the official road.
The autumn sun is still a little hot, and some pilgrims often come to worship on the general cliff, and after a long time, there will naturally be more ways to come out.
Looking up, although there was still some distance from it, the stone tablet could be faintly seen. It was very quiet, the mountain wind blew through the mountains and forests on both sides, and the leaves kept rattling.
Li Xiaozhou did not venture to the cliff because of the urgency of the task, the mountains in the north are different from the south, dense mountains and forests like this are rare, and many places are bare and bare rocks, because of this, Li Xiaozhou is very cautious. The mountains here are steep, and if there is an enemy hiding in the woods, and they are condescending to charge, it will be difficult for their brothers to escape in a hurry.
The five hundred leopard Taowei all rushed into the forest under the leadership of Li Xiaozhou, and took out the sharp crossbows they were carrying behind them one by one, but their eyes did not stare at the direction of the official road, but instead pointed the tips of the arrows glowing with cold light in the direction of the cliff top, and their eyes did not blink.
After a short period of noise, the forest is quiet again, and occasionally a few insects can be heard, and the warm mountain breeze blows on the face, making people sleepy.
Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it took, the forest was still the same as Fang Cai, Li Xiaozhou even saw a few huge gray shadows flashing in the mountains and forests, which were clearly the most vicious predators in Daqing Mountain, "Iron-wire gray-backed wolf".
Looking at the sky, it is not far from noon, with the distance of the Twin Pagoda Temple, Zhou Ran's evil unicorn should not be far away, if the enemy does not appear again, the evil unicorn will arrive after a while, even if the enemy appears, it will be difficult to do anything, thinking of this, Li Xiaozhou's heart is a little more steady.
Li Xiaozhou is not the only one who has the same idea, many soldiers also have the same idea. At this time, the sky suddenly became overcast, and I don't know whether it was thunder or hooves, rumbling along the winding distance of the official road, which made everyone's hearts happy.
"Cheer me up!" Li Xiaozhou shouted, "Follow me to meet the general!"
The five hundred leopard guards cheered, collected their crossbow arrows, and turned around and ran down the mountain.
How could the five hundred leopard guards run together and be quiet? It swept down like a rushing wave, and many small beasts were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Rushed to the official road, Li Xiaozhou was really relieved, it seems that the situation is not as bad as he thought, there seems to be no enemy in this forest, in this case, he went to the cliff to ambush, if there is an eyeless enemy following the general, let him taste his own arrows.
Gui Xi heard the order that came, and he was relieved, after more than ten years of fighting, of course he knew the importance of this general cliff, this cliff was like a sharp blade hanging high on the Luoxia Road, if it was held in the hands of the enemy, the consequences were really unimaginable, but fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen.
A thousand leopard guards ran towards the cliff, which was a bit high, and given the range of the crossbow bolts and the speed of the mounts under them, the best place to ambush them was not to the top of the cliff, but halfway up the mountain.
Sure enough, everything was as expected, calm and smooth. A thousand leopard guards, a thousand pairs of eyes are firmly fixed on the official road, and now they are all gearing up, hoping that there will be an enemy who can't open their eyes to follow, so that the big guys can have a happy fight.
Boom, there was another thunderclap, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell on the leaves, sounding like thousands of horses galloping. In the wind and rain, the thousand leopard guards were unaware, their attention was all on the official road, and the time was almost up, but none of them realized that the danger was quietly approaching.
Gray figures took advantage of the wind and rain to move forward in the dense forest little by little. The Greyback Wolf is not only the most cruel and cunning hunter in Daqingshan, but also the most loyal companion of the Greedy Wolf Knight. has been together for many years, and needless to say, these knights and gray wolves have already had a heart-to-heart relationship.
The gray wolf crawled forward, the knight pressed the ring-headed knife under his arm, and the other hand held the goose dart, his eyes were firmly fixed on the figure in the dense forest in front of him, and his breathing was extremely low.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the thunder is rumbling, the weather has gradually cooled, and I am afraid that there will not be a few more such thunderstorms, and it will be time for snow to fall.
Li Xiaozhou looked at the heavy rain, and looked forward to the arrival of the winter snow in his heart, as long as the snow fell, even if those barbarians in Shanrong had any ideas, they would have to endure the melting of the ice and snow next year. In the past few days, the sinister situation has almost overwhelmed the big guys.
Whoosh, dozens of goose darts flashed in the rainstorm, and a sharp flash lit up in the dark and dreary dark clouds, and more than a dozen leopard guards scattered in the dense forest who were in charge of guarding fell silently.
Bang, a fallen warrior struggled, using the last of his strength to release the fireworks in his hand, only to bloom for a moment before being drowned out by the cold light that came from the roar.
As soon as the cymbal hanging from the treetops was struck, a cold light flashed, and the soldier in charge of the cymbal clutched his throat and fell from the tree in pain.
Although there was not much movement, and the greedy wolf knights did a good enough job, they were facing the leopard Taowei after all, and Gui Xi had already noticed something unusual, because there had been no flags in the mountains and forests for a quarter of an hour.
Gui Xi was in charge of the back of the palace, and the rain dripped down the armor, but Gui Xi remained motionless, as if the grass and trees were growing on the upper slope. As a soldier, as a soldier of Leopard Taowei, it is common not to eat, drink, or move for a few hours, but now Gui Xi moved, and Gui Xi moved at the moment when the fireworks were about to go out.
There was an enemy situation, Gui Xi didn't have time to think about it, and even shot out behind him with guns, and one hundred and seventy-eight leopard Taowei soldiers followed closely behind Gui Xi, no matter what came from behind, if Gui Xi and the one hundred and seventy-eight leopard Taowei soldiers behind him could not be turned into corpses, they would not think of taking another step forward.
One by one, the gray giant wolves pounced out with the sound of the wind, and the goose darts in the hands of the five hundred pioneers of the greedy wolf rider had all been shot out.
The dense goose darts took advantage of the rain to fall down on their heads and faces, making it almost impossible to see what was behind the torrential rain.
Gui Xi roared angrily, the spears in his hands flew, and the spears in the hands of the one hundred and seventy-eight soldiers who rushed forward beside him also stabbed out together, and the continuous spears almost weaved into a big net, and even the wind and rain were blocked out for a while.
Zhao Shan's gaze became solemn, and he came to the greedy wolf rider, and many times it only took a single charge to completely crush the enemy. Today, Zhao Shan didn't take the so-called Leopard Taowei in his eyes, even if those stormy wild goose darts were shot down like wind and rain, Zhao Shan didn't care too much. But now there is a short-handed encounter, whether it is those warriors with spears, or the vigorous cloud-patterned leopards under them, they are so brave, so death-seeking.
The dense forest has become a flesh mill, the sound of the ring head knife slashing into the flesh and bones, the sound of the cloud spear piercing into the skin, the roar of the moire leopard, the roar of the gray-backed wolf, the blood bursting out, and the stumps flying.
One hundred and seventy-nine leopard Taowei against five hundred greedy wolf riders, all of them are elite in a hundred battles, and they are all fierce and fearless of death, but one is condescending and has been gathering momentum for a long time, and the other is eager to rush to fight, and they can resist at the beginning, but after a long time, the warriors of Leopard Taowei fall more and more, and gradually show their defeat.
Helian Jue stood on a high place and saw it clearly, he admired the heroes, and he also admired these real soldiers, but the two armies were each their masters in front of the formation, and there was no room for mercy and hesitation. With a wave of his hand, the two thousand greedy wolves rode all the pressures, this time without using a small hidden weapon such as the goose dart, the longbow thunderbolted, and countless thick arrows with a whimpering wind looked for their prey.
In fact, when Gui Xi led people to meet the five hundred greedy wolves, Li Xiaozhou had already sensed that something was wrong, but Li Xiaozhou was not Helian Jue, he was a little hesitant, because he didn't know what Gui Xi had encountered, and he didn't know how many enemies were coming, although he sensed the enemy's situation, Li Xiaozhou did not dare to press the whole army, the general was about to arrive, he had to keep a back hand, and this thousand leopard Taowei must not let the enemy crush him.
Helian Jue rode down from the top of the mountain with two thousand greedy wolves, destroying trees and birds and beasts along the way, and the momentum was almost unstoppable.
Eight hundred leopard Taowei went upstream, facing the wind and rain, facing the iron horse, like a mainstay.
Li Dao is just a leader, the hand holding the spear is full of muscles, he can't not be nervous, the captain, the commander, one by one, has already gone to meet the enemy, he is the last line of defense, even if he dies, he must hold on until the general arrives, and must not let the enemy have time, have the opportunity to hit the general by surprise.
The wind and rain are getting wilder and wilder, and the sound of killing in the dense forest is shaking the sky...
