Chapter 335: Blocked by a Ray of Heaven (I)

A line of sky, the earth is as its name suggests, it is really a dangerous place.

Just in front of a mountain beam, the road that could have allowed five or six people to run together suddenly contracted and narrowed, allowing only one person to go straight and two people to turn sideways, and on both sides of the mountain road, there are thousands of cliffs, as long as one is not careful, if you fall down, you will be crushed.

Originally, there were wooden fences on both sides of the mountain road, but at this time they were all gone, and when people walked on it, they always felt a panic, as if when a strong wind blew people off the cliff.

This trail was six or seven miles long, and there were dozens or hundreds of archers above it, and as long as anyone dared to break through, they would be greeted by a dense rain of arrows. What does it mean to be a husband and a husband, this line of heaven is the best example.

Because of the distance and the changeable mountain roads, the Qingzhou army actually did not fully understand the steepness of this line, and the hundreds of elites of the Jiazi battalion led by Zhou Xing were completely unprepared, and they actually crashed headlong into it. The defenders of Erlong Mountain, who had been waiting for a long time, did not talk nonsense at the moment, dozens of arrows had already rained down, and the five or six soldiers in front were immediately hit by arrows, and as soon as their bodies fell, their feet were empty, and they fell into the abyss with a scream.

The others reacted at this time, especially Zhou Xing, who shouted: "Everyone retreat!" Go back! As he roared, he danced with the sword in his hand, constantly blocking the arrows that came from him. However, he was still too aggressive in this rush, and there were few people around him who could help resist the bow and arrow, and finally he was sparse and hit by an arrow in the shoulder, which slowed down his next move.

It was at this moment that more arrows whistled in, and in just a moment, the commander of the A-word battalion was shot like a hedgehog by random arrows, and after an unwilling scream, his body deviated, and he had fallen off the cliff, shattered his bones.

Of course, his support in the front still played some role, and the other soldiers finally took the opportunity to change the rear team into the front team, and quickly withdrew down the mountain. At this time, it also reflects the strength of the elite of the Qingzhou army, if it is replaced by ordinary officers and soldiers, they will be completely chaotic at the moment when their own commander suddenly dies, and at this time, in order to escape these people trample on each other is a routine operation.

However, although the men of the A-shaped battalion were also frightened, they quickly regained their composure under the shouting and command of a cadre waiting for the officer, and steadily lined up and retreated. When he saw this scene, the mountain was ready to go, and the minions who wanted to take the opportunity to kill were pressed in place by several leaders, and it was really unwise to kill them in vain.

At this time, it was just near noon, the red sun was in the sky, and Erlong Mountain was blood-red, and I don't know whether it was dyed by human blood or the abnormality caused by the sun. But all this fell into the eyes of the Qingzhou army who went up the mountain later, but it was a sigh, a hearty victory actually ended with such an aggrieved result, even the Qingzhou army was deeply hit.

Especially when the people from the Jiazi Battalion came back to report the news of Zhou Xing's death in battle, Sun Tu, who then went up the mountain, had a gloomy face that could drip water: "This time he is too reckless, he shouldn't get carried away because of a small victory......"

After pondering for a long time, he looked at Tian Feng, the deputy commander who reported the battle: "Then from now on, the Jiazi battalion will be under your full command for the time being, and I hope you can learn the lessons of Commander Zhou's previous envoys, and everything is based on stability." ”

“…… Yes, the last will be complied with. Tian Feng hesitated for a moment, and then he answered the order

After quickly solving the matter of the Jiazi Battalion, Sun Tucai looked at the others in front of him: "Now that the thieves are defending the Jedi in front of them, it is not easy to break through easily." Do you have any ideas? ”

"Commander, why don't you let the last general lead the scout camp to turn over from the side and give it a try?" Shi Qian took the initiative to ask for his life, which was recognized by many people, after all, the scout battalion had reversed the unfavorable situation by climbing the East Stone Kip from the rear before, which gave everyone a lot of confidence.

But Qi Desheng frowned and said, "Isn't this too risky?" Erlong Mountain is their old nest for many years, but it is not so easy for our people to climb it easily. Moreover, the mountain here is two or three times higher than that of the East Stone Kip, and as long as there is a slight difference in the middle, the scout camp will not escape death. ”

Sun Tu also said thoughtfully: "The scout camp is a sharp blade of our Qingzhou army, we can't let you take risks at will." Now is not the time to fight hard, so there is no need to mention this matter again. ”

"So what's next?" One of his subordinates frowned and said.

"For the time being, let the army garrison the top and bottom of Jintang City, and block all the mountain roads for me. It's a pity that the road above is getting narrower and more rugged, otherwise those catapults might be able to do some more miracles. Sun Tu exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Let everyone rest on the spot first, and then go to see the specific situation of the first line of heaven in the afternoon." ”

Soon, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the official and military garrisons, and the people of Erlongshan who saw all this showed indignation. Although they relied on the geographical advantage of the first line of heaven to kill the officers and troops, their own losses were too great, and even Jintang City was lost, and such a blow was unprecedented.

Not to mention the ordinary minion leader, it was Deng Long, the master of the village, who was also flustered at this time, worried about the next situation, he just wanted to discuss with Lu Yuan how to continue to defend the cottage. But after looking around, there was no whereabouts of the military division in the Baozhu Temple, and it was not until he left the temple gate that he saw Lu Yuan, who was condescendingly observing the movements of the officials and soldiers, on a high platform, and at this time he even had a vague smile on his face.

"Military advisor ......" Deng Long walked behind him and shouted, Lu Yuan immediately turned around and smiled: "Don't panic, the owner of the village, I believe that it won't be long before the officers and soldiers will take the initiative to retreat down the mountain, and then it will be time for us to counterattack." ”

"Huh? Just because of the silver lining? ”

"No, because they are running out of food. In the past few days, the younger brother has been observing the cooking smoke from their fires, and in only five or six days, the amount of cooking smoke has decreased by two or three percent, and it seems that the food they can use is getting less and less, and they can only save some money. ”

Hearing this, Deng Long's spirit suddenly lifted: "If this is the case, God will really help me!" Then send more brothers to the front line to guard the sky, no matter what the cost, we will drag it until the food and grass of the officers and soldiers are exhausted, and then they will definitely collapse without a fight! ”

At the foot of the mountain, in the camp of the officers and soldiers, holding a small lump of food in their hands, many soldiers had a worried look on their faces. If they didn't know that it was impossible for Sun Dujian to deduct everyone in matters such as money and food, some people would have to put forward opinions because of this, and even cause chaos.

But even so, the atmosphere in the barracks was still a little solemn. Originally, because the Jiazi battalion suffered a big loss in the first line of the sky, the morale of the army was low, and at this time it was even worse, and the joy of capturing Jintang City was already swaying at this time

But there is none.

Yang Shan, as a logistics officer, was also ashamed for a while after seeing all this, and after hesitating for a while, he finally had the courage to come to Sun Tu, who was stationed in Jintang City, and said in a snort: "Commander, now the food stock in our army is only enough for seven or eight days, and this is still in the case of reducing the supply of sergeants, otherwise it is only enough for four or five days." Eunuch, how should this be? "He's just a logistics guy, and he can't get food.

In fact, regarding the problem of food for the Qingzhou army, Sun Tu and many of his generals knew it well, and in the final analysis, it was the sin created by Han Benshan. On that day, he burned down the entire official warehouse, and tens of thousands of stones of grain turned into ashes, and the blow to the Qingzhou army was too great.

If it weren't for the fact that Sun Tu copied a large amount of money and grain from the homes of Qingzhou officials, and then those wealthy families in the city took out some of the stored grain due to the authority of the officials and soldiers, I am afraid that even this battle against Erlong Mountain would not have started as he wished. After all, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first.

When Sun Tu heard this, he only frowned: "Is it only enough for seven or eight days?" ”

"This is still under the premise that you can't feed everyone, if you can't eat enough, the soldiers won't be able to go all out when they fight, please think twice about it."

"Well, this official knows, so let's grieve everyone for a few days." Sun Tu quickly laughed again, and without saying anything, he waved his hand and sent the other party away. Yang Shan glanced at his own capital prisoner, and finally didn't dare to be too verbose, so he could only sigh secretly and retreat.

The situation was worse than I thought, and it was faster than I predicted......

"Seven or eight days? To do a full set of plays, at least in the first six days, I have to let them know the attitude of my Qingzhou Army. Later, we can let people storm the front line, and let them know that we are in a hurry to end this battle without causing too many casualties! Sun Tu had already made a decision in his heart, and at the same time, his palm subconsciously touched the ring that others couldn't see!

¥¥¥¥¥

At the foot of Erlong Mountain, in the forest seven or eight miles away from the military camp at the foot of the mountain, two figures were lurking among them, all looking at everything on the mountain with solemn faces, it was Qi Liu and Han Benshan who had returned from Liangshanbo.

Now Liangshanbo has decided to send troops to aid Erlongshan, but they still need some time to prepare. But Qi Liu was impatient to wait over there, so he and Han Benshan returned first, intending to bring back the good news and boost the confidence of the people in the village. Results......

At this time, Qi Liu's face was already full of anxiety and disbelief: "Did the official army come so quickly?" As he spoke, he looked at Han Benshan again: "Didn't you say that they burned all the food and grass of the officers and soldiers before, and they still dared to send troops?" ”

Han Benshan also looked puzzled, and said after a while: "Even if they rescue some food, the quantity is limited." As long as it drags on for a while, the officers and troops will retreat without a fight. Not to mention the reinforcements from Liangshan. ”

"When's that going to happen...... Now that even Jintang City has been broken by the official army, how long can the last two levels last? Qi Liu felt very nervous in his heart, and couldn't help but want to take the risk and rush to the military camp in front of him, so as to give some help to his brothers on the mountain. But just as he moved, his body was held down by Han Benshan: "You don't want to die?" Look at it! ”

With his reminder, Qi Liu looked up, his face changed again, and his movements stopped abruptly......
