Chapter 302: Hiding in the Soldier's Cave

The north of the mountain and the south of the mountain are hidden, and they are busy with horses' hooves. -----------Bright. Yuan Zhongdao "Into the City Road"

It is said that Chen Long worked tirelessly all the way, hid his identity, and rushed to the famous city of Hongshan in a low-key manner. Hongshan is an important town connecting eastern and western Liaoning, and its defense is strong, but it still can't stop Chen Long in disguise.

Chen Longfu went to Hongshan, bought a pair of burdens, purchased a few small commodities, pretended to be a little merchant, and walked the streets and alleys. The official office of Hongshan is adjacent to the city lord's mansion, and Liu Bei is single, and he can work across the courtyard wall. The guard troops led by Wu Anguo deployed defenses at key parts of the gate and courtyard wall, but the number was not large. With Chen Long's outstretched hand, it may not be impossible to break through, but there are still 5,000 standing troops stationed in the city around, led by Qi Zhou, if he can't succeed for a while, I'm afraid Chen Long can only escape from the city for a while.

When Long Chen passed by the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with a load of goods on his back, he once saw Wu Anguo patrolling at the gate. When Long Chen walked by, his deliberately heavy steps were still slightly staggering, mixed with the crowd on the street, for fear of being perceived by the master.

When Long Chen approached the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Anguo just walked down the steps of the City Lord's Mansion. Because Long Chen restrained his momentum, Wu Anguo didn't notice the peculiarity of his internal strength, but Chen Long was tall, and Wu Anguo couldn't help but glance at this merchant.

In Chen Long's heart, a feeling of extreme danger immediately rose, like a prey being targeted by a fierce tiger, if there was substance. Chen Long suppressed the urge to take a look at Wu Anguo, and couldn't help but re-evaluate Wu Anguo's martial arts in his heart. This feeling of danger is by no means inferior to the oppression that Chun Yuqiong gave himself at the beginning, and it seems that Wu Anguo's martial arts are at least not below Chun Yuqiong.

Chen Long carried the load of goods steadily, and walked slowly, completely abandoning the urge to observe the City Lord's Mansion, and selling goods to potential customers on the street. Wu Anguo deliberately approached the cargo load, observed for a while, and didn't see anything abnormal, and suddenly shouted: "The merchant, come and see the goods." ”

Chen Long secretly screamed that it was not good, looked around in a daze on the surface, pretended to have just discovered Wu Anguo, and hurriedly walked over with a smile and carrying the load. Wu Anguo picked up the things in the load casually, and suddenly hit the head of the flat burden, one end of the flat burden was suddenly forced, and the other end jumped up like lightning, and hit Chen Long's right arm with a bang.

With Long Chen's skills, not to mention this flat pole that is not fast to dodge, even if it is a close-range short-bladed sneak attack, it can be easily dodged. It's just that Chen Long had expected that Wu Anguo wanted to try his own ideas, so he was caught off guard, and was hit hard by the flat burden, and fell to the ground with a bang, covering the injury and screaming in pain.

Wu Anguo helped him up, took the opportunity to inspect his injuries, pinched his arm and said, "What is your name, merchant, and where are you from?" Do you know martial arts, you're very strong! ”

Chen Long grinned and rubbed the sore spots, and responded: "The little surname is Zhou, there is no big name, only a small name is Xiaohu'er." The villain was born in Jizhou, and since he was a child, he has been going south and north, how much stronger, where will there be any martial arts, the general said and laughed. ”

Wu Anguo picked out a few items casually, and finally let Chen Long go, his eyes always staring at his back. Chen Long was stared at by him, and he walked a little smoothly, and walked away as calmly as possible. However, he was not sure if he was too calm, but it would arouse Wu Anguo's suspicions. Therefore, the expression is somewhat nervous and honest, and it can somewhat dispel suspicions.

After this contact, Long Chen did not venture to appear around the City Lord's Mansion in broad daylight. Because the master will definitely remember some of his own characteristics and gait, it is inevitable to reveal his whereabouts. If Wu Anguo finds himself in the vicinity again, he will immediately expose his unfavorable intentions to Liu Bei and bring unnecessary trouble to the assassination.

Chen Long began to look for the law of Liu Bei's exit from the city on the periphery. The main army camp of Hongshan County was in the east of the city, including the cavalry of Bunton, which was stationed in the east of the city, mainly to defend against the sneak attack troops coming from the direction of Liaodong. And Gongsun Ji, the traitor inside Hongshan, as an undercover agent of Gongsun Du, has not yet revealed his identity.

Every few days, Liu Bei would personally inspect the troops, accompanied by not only Wu Anguo, but also Qi Zhou and other ministers in charge of the troops. On the way, you will pass through the East Street in the city, after passing the East City Gate, ride a horse along the official road to Hongmiaozi, and then enter the mountain to the foot of Yuanbao Mountain, that is, to the military camp. Among them, the villages and towns around the official road are relatively concentrated, and it is not easy to start, only after entering the mountain, the roadside is a tall birch forest, Chen Long's eyes are locked here, and he began to investigate and determine the place to start.

Chen Long figured out Liu Bei's patrol rules several times, and hid in the bushes, and the timing became more and more accurate. Due to the eighteen bends of the mountain road, the location chosen by Chen Long is in a place where the mountain road has a big bend. Not only is this place dense enough to block the view of the guards in front and behind, but it is also suitable for escaping and burrowing into the jungle, making it almost impossible to track.

Chen Long squatted here several times, and each time he remained motionless in the dense foliage, holding his breath. Although it has not been discovered by Wu Anguo, Chen Long has also discovered a rule, whenever Liu Bei's escort team enters the difficult place of the mountain road, the speed of the horse team will slow down very slowly, Wu Anguo and several guards will tightly surround Liu Bei, if you want to shoot or sneak attack Liu Bei in the core through everyone, and kill with one blow, it is quite difficult.

Chen Long couldn't imagine that Liu Bei was so careful, so he had to wait silently. In fact, Liu Bei was so guarded, in fact, he had a ghost in his heart, he did Liu He with his own hands, seized Liu Yu's power and status, and couldn't even sleep peacefully, so he had the opportunity to find Wu Anguo to be his own escort.

After waiting a few times, there was no suitable opportunity, Chen Long secretly scolded Wu An in his heart for being a dog and Liu Xuande for being a rat, so he had to choose the assassination location again. Chen Long's eyes returned to the city, after all, it was still the most likely opportunity in the city to find Liu Bei alone. Chen Long entered and exited the East City Gate several times, and the soldiers guarding the gate gradually got to know this tall merchant who came in and out, and began to pay attention to him, Chen Long secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

On this day, Chen Long returned to the inn again in vain, sat cross-legged on the bed, the blood flowed slowly, the group breath function worked silently, and the somewhat restless heart finally calmed down. Chen Long closed his eyes, Liu Bei's patrol route appeared clearly in his mind again, Chen Long looked at Liu Bei's patrol route carefully as if he was playing a movie, hoping to find loopholes, find a place that could kill with one blow, and escape smoothly.

The thoughts were like an aerial shot, as Liu Bei's route moved, the camera started from the city lord's mansion, all the way through the east city gate, and the yellow and green suburbs outside, which seemed to have no flaws. Chen Long suddenly frowned, and the camera turned back from the suburbs to the east gate of Hongshan.

The design of the east gate of Hongshan City, there is no major difference between the design of the city wall and other fortified cities, as a large-scale military fortification in ancient times, in addition to the tall and solid wall and the urn city and other buildings, there are many supporting military facilities on the city wall, and the most operational defense function of Hongshan City today, the most distinctive is the hidden soldier cave.

Chen Long's heart moved, if he could hide in the cave of the hidden soldiers, at the moment when Liu Bei rode out of the city gate, he would shoot Liu Bei in the back of the head with a strong bow and a crossbow, he would have a chance of success, and the enemy could not guess where he was hiding afterwards, and he should have plenty of time to escape.

Thinking of this, it was like the clouds opening and the rain dissipated, and Chen Long easily sneaked up to the city wall to check the details of the hidden soldier cave with the help of the cover of the night. In the four parts under the battlements of the eastern city wall, there are four hidden caves of different shapes. The Tibetan soldier hole is divided into two layers, the upper layer is provided with six arrow holes, the lower layer is provided with five arrow holes, each arrow hole is built with an arc top bunker, the arrow hole is oblique, can be opened and closed; There is a passage in the hole, there are arrow holes on three sides, the front shooting hole is aimed at the moat, it is convenient to shoot the enemy who climbs the city, and there are battlements on the hole, which is integrated with the city wall, so as to ensure the safety of the hidden soldier cave. There is a back door at the back of the cave on the city wall, which is convenient for sending elite soldiers to protect the city at any time to attack the enemy, and the lower part is not far from the city gate. In the event of a foreign enemy attacking the city, the hidden arrows in the shooting hole will be fired in unison, so that people will be caught off guard.

In the dark, Chen Long traveled to four caves and found an excellent ambush location. This is a special warehouse set up in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, which is used to stack all kinds of materials and equipment to defend the city, and now there is no foreign enemy attacking the city, and very few people will go to the warehouse to take inventory. Even during the day, the GIs only patrolled the city walls and watchtowers, and rarely went to the caves to observe the enemy. What's even better is that the location of the warehouse in the Tibetan Soldier Cave just crosses an external archery opening, which not only has light, but also provides the best exit for Chen Long to release arrows from here.

Chen Long determined the best ambush location in the hidden soldier cave, secretly rejoiced in his heart, pulled out the crossbow in his arms, and made a posture outside by releasing the arrow, his brows furrowed, and his heart became sad again.

It turned out that although the crossbow was delicate, it had a limited range. Looking at the past from the perspective of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, there is a distance of about four or five zhang from the city gate, if the horse team rushes out of the city gate and finds Liu Bei's back, the distance must be ten zhang away. To hit Liu Bei's vital point, the difficulty is greater than that of Lu Buyuanmen's halberd, in addition to the long distance, after all, Liu Bei is still a target to move on horseback.

Chen Long rummaged through the warehouse, and his hard work paid off, and he really found a few strong bows with three stones. Chen Long pulled a few times, chose a handful that was quite handy, and chose some iron arrows to put at hand. It's a pity that I can't release the arrow in advance to do a range test, I can only put one arrow, and if I miss a hit, I have to give up and escape.

Before Liu Bei left the city, martial law would be imposed at the city gate as usual, and the movement was not small, Chen Long only needed to rely on his hearing, he could predict Liu Bei's approximate time out of the city in advance, and with the arrangement in the Tibetan soldier cave, Chen Long was more confident in eliminating Liu Bei.

A few days later, as usual, it was time for Liu Bei to go out on patrol, and Chen Long had already prepared everything in the Tibetan Soldier Cave. Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, a team of soldiers came on horseback to report that the city lord was on patrol, and the city gate was immediately under martial law.

Chen Long grabbed the strong bow, recognized the iron arrow, tightened his arm, and had already drawn a full bow and waited. Because he was afraid that the master would hear the movement of the temporary bow, Chen Long had already decided to even open the bow and wait, just spend a little more effort. Chen Long condensed, standing quietly by the mouth of the archery, the group breath was running as usual, and his breath was becoming more and more stable, just waiting for the moment when the big hero Liu Bei rushed out of the city gate, today is his death.
