In Li Xun's account, several people argued.

"That's it!" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said to Li Xun, "No one has to fight, when the time comes, Zhang Meng and I will take the team of people selected to try to go up the cliff first, and after exploring the way for the rear team, you are ready to forcibly climb the mountain at any time!" ”

"Master Lu, this is a matter of nine deaths!" Li Xun bit his lip, "If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that the brothers will fight to the death, and one will die anyway!" ”

"Kill it?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly, "Since Wan Guojun plans to calculate us, how can he give you a chance to kill us?" ”

"Master, Wan Guojun has already transferred troops to surround our camp tent just now, if there is any change, it is estimated that they will attack at any time!" Speaking of this, the one-legged old servant said hatefully: "What are you doing, it makes people feel aggrieved when you think about it!" ”

"Don't be discouraged just yet!" Lu Xiaoxian comforted Li Xun, "It's not that we don't have a chance of winning, as long as we climb up, we will win." Let's not talk about meritorious service or not, at least everyone can live! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian subconsciously glanced outside the camp tent, and the war horses of the Tang Mansion soldiers were snorting nearby, and the sonorous sound of iron armor was clearly audible.

……

"All set!" Lu Xiaoxian looked around at the men in front of him and asked softly.

There were two hundred and eighty-one people standing in front of him, and they were the only remaining soldiers in the Rogue army.

"Ready!" Two hundred and eighty-one voices came together, firm and determined.

At the front of the line were a dozen able-bodied outcasts, each carrying a large bundle of ropes and a clinking iron nail. Lu Xiaoxian wants to lead them to the cliff and find a way for everyone.

The moon stars are scarce, and the insects are singing.

The Rogue Army sneaked quietly, all of them dressed in black, and their weapons were tightly wrapped in black cloth, and even their thin-soled fast boots were wrapped in strips of cloth.

There were no lanterns or torches, and each person had ropes attached to each other around their waists so as not to get lost.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the rebels, the group went around in circles in the dark night, and finally reached the bottom of the cliff behind the eagle village in the morning light.

Lu Xiaoxian ordered everyone to rest in hiding, and he took the dozen or so people to start carefully surveying the climbing route.

"Damn, it's very high! It's also steep! Zhang Meng looked at the steep cliff inch by inch, and couldn't help but gasp, "The stone is very weathered, and many places are loose!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian also raised his head and carefully observed every stone crevice and concave that his eyes could reach, thinking about the foothold of each step.

……

The sky was unconsciously bright, the rebels of the Eagle Village and the camp of the Tang Dynasty soldiers were rising, and both sides were hurrying to have breakfast, and when the sun was high, there would be a fatal fight.

The silence did not last long, and before the smoke cleared, the government soldiers began to launch a fierce attack with the earth-shattering sound of cannons in the government battalion.

They fought each other against the rebel fighters in waves, and each charge was extremely heroic. The steep and narrow mountain road in front of the Eagle Village was like a life-devouring black hole, chewing the tenacious sergeants on both sides to pieces......

On the watchtower behind the walled gate, Mr. Wang was watching the battle with a blank face.

Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have suffered heavy setbacks one after another in the past few days, they are still high-spirited, the soldiers in front of them fell, and the ones behind did not hesitate to step on the corpses.

Under the tight fence, Mr. Wang had to frequently mobilize reserve troops to replace the exhausted front-line defenders. The battle has entered a critical moment, and whoever can grit his teeth and hold on to the end will win.

Seeing that today's attack was so ferocious, he expected that the other party must have made a bloody investment and was ready to make a desperate bet. It's a pity that the time, place and people are all on the side of the rebels, and no matter how brave and good the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are, they have nothing to do with the Eagle Village.

……

The sound of a landslide in front of the Eagle Village was so clear to the ears of the rogue sergeants lurking under the cliff behind the Eagle Village, as if they were also on the battlefield.

Li Xun, Xie Yunxuan, Yang Si and the others couldn't take their eyes off it, looking at Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and the dozen or so selected wanderers, they were like geckos with tense muscles, using their hands and feet together, clinging to the steep cliff, climbing up step by step, only to disappear behind the protruding boulder......

The crisp sound of percussion quickly came from somewhere on the cliff, Li Xun let out a long breath, and Xie Yunxuan and Yang Si were also sweating profusely.

"Ding Ding Ding", every once in a while, there was a knocking sound, it was Lu Xiaoxian who nailed iron nails into the stone wall.

Gradually, the percussion became quieter and quieter, and finally it was inaudible.

Everyone at the bottom of the cliff looked up and searched, but there was nothing to see but the scorching sunlight cast from the top of the cliff. No one can help Lu Xiaoxian and them, and now they can't do anything but wait!

……

At noon, the sun is dazzling and the earth is steaming.

The attacking Tang Mansion soldiers left behind another corpse, and retreated helplessly, and the retreat banner that turned over in the camp also became weak, and the swords and guns left in front of the formation reflected the dry light helplessly in the sun.

Once again, the two sides fell silent and took their own breath to recuperate.

"Before the sun goes down, they're sure they'll organize another onslaught!" Mr. Wang said to the rebel generals around him, "Now the sun is shining on their heads, and the dazzling sunlight will make the oncoming soldiers unable to open their eyes!" ”

The rebel generals nodded their heads again and again, and they admired Mr. Wang to the extreme.

It was this inconspicuous thin old man who thwarted the elite Datang regular army again and again. If it weren't for his strategic planning and command, let alone fighting against the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the courage to face it, and it is estimated that the stockade would have been breached long ago.

Mr. Wang continued to cheer for the rebel generals and said: "In the past few days, although the other side has suffered a lot of casualties, the main force has not been damaged at all, and the sharpness is far from being consumed, we must consume them little by little, let them bleed out every wound, and wear down their fighting spirit point by point, until all their strength is exhausted, and the final victory will definitely belong to us!" ”

……

On the cliff wall behind the Eagle Village, a string of rope nails fluttering with small strips of white cloth is stubbornly extending upward.

At the foot of the cliff, more than 200 soldiers of the Rogue Army looked up at the cliff in unison, their eyes pierced by the sun's eyes.

A thin rope tied to a small stone slid down the cliff wall, and Li Xun jumped up, carefully examining the knot.

The knot is used to deliver news, Xie Yunxuan glanced at the knot, and couldn't help sighing: "They still need iron nails, it's not enough!" Ropes and nails have been sent six times before and after, and judging by the number they used, they should have climbed half of them! ”

Li Xun frowned: "It's only half!" They didn't eat a bit, they didn't drink a sip of water! If the sun hasn't gone down and it's getting late, there's no way to do it! ”

Several soldiers of the Rogue Army were tying iron nails to the strings, and Yang Si waved his hand to stop them: "Don't worry, send water and cakes first!" If they don't replenish some energy, they won't be able to survive! ”
