Chapter Seventy-Two: Final Victory
"In the sixth year of Tianbao, the Tang Wuwei army attacked Xiaobolu Lianyunbao, and the Tang generals Li Siye and Tian Zhen led the army to climb the cliff and enter around the pass, defeating the Xiaobolu Tubo coalition army, and Lianyunbao was broken. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Wuwei army slaughtered its soldiers and civilians, killed the Tibetan prince Qiongbo, and the general Bangseγγγγγγ β
On that steep cliff like a mirror, Li Xiao, who was struggling to climb step by step, suddenly remembered the history of the ancient Tang army's expedition to Xiaobolu and the capture of its important Lianyun Castle.
Fame, wealth, and power are so easy to obtain. In this world, there has never been a pie in the sky! With no connections and no official support, a person like Li Xiao, who started from the lowest level of the army, must use great effort and risk to fight and fight hard if he wants to get every point of fame and status!
The current self is similar to the Tang Army general Li Siye, who is also tenacious and takes the lead in climbing the cliff.
Since Li Siye, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, can do it, then, I, Li Xiao, can definitely do it today!
If you look at the sky from the side, you can clearly see Li Xiao's difficult climbing process.
Li Xiao clasped the cliff with the five fingers of his right hand, and his sturdy body slowly leaned upward, and after the whole body moved forward for a short while, Li Xiao brushed out his left hand, buckled another rock that had just groped for strength, and then stepped up with his left leg, stepped on a solid rock, and then moved his right leg up.
Generally speaking, a normal and reliable support point is a gap between the rocks, but not every gap can reach into a finger or withstand the weight of the tip of the leg. There are often crevices or rocks that seem to be solid to draw on, but when you actually step on them, they are peeled off the mountain and fall down with a flutter. The generals and soldiers below saw their superiors like a huge gecko on the cliff, dragging their long hemp rope tails, slowly moving forward step by step, everyone felt their throats dry, and felt that their hearts had hung in their throats.
The sun is setting in the west, cold clouds are rising in the sky, and the cold mountain wind is becoming more and more fierce, whistling endlessly.
Li Xiao's movements became more and more difficult and slow.
Suddenly, a rock grabbed by Li Xiao's left hand fell off suddenly, and the stone chips flew, and he almost fell off the cliff on his back, but fortunately, his right hand was strong, and he grabbed another hard rock tightly, and the tip of his left foot was immediately inserted into a narrow rock crevice, and Fang struggled to maintain his balance in the mountain wind that blew over, and did not fall.
At this moment, Li Xiao brushed shoulders with death.
Men take fame, and there is a line between life and death.
This thrilling scene made the people below almost scream in fright, and many soldiers subconsciously covered their mouths.
Mo Changrong's eyes were moist, and he muttered, "Lord Qianhuγγγγγγ β
Everyone looking up below stared with bated breath, their hearts beating like drums, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and under the cliff, there was a suffocating dead silence.
Li Xiao's extremely difficult climb continued in a drowsy and desolate atmosphere. Half an hour later, Li Xiao's fingernails were all torn, and countless tiny sharp rocks cut his hands with blood.
At this time, there are still 30 meters from the cliff spire.
Li Xiao didn't dare to stop, he had to climb the cliff before his physical strength was exhausted, he gasped for breath, endured the sharp pain from the tip of his hand, and continued to grit his teeth and climb up.
Fame is like a mountain, a man is like iron, and he is invincible.
After more than half an hour, it was finally less than ten meters away from the top of the cliff.
At this time, Li Xiao felt extremely tired, in the violent exhalation and exhalation, the lobes of his lungs were almost exploding, his hands were sore, swollen and painful, and every finger covered with blood was swollen to the point that it could not be shaped.
The worst thing is that Li Xiao, who has squeezed himself to the limit of his physical strength, feels that his heavy body suddenly becomes lighter, and all kinds of hallucinations begin to appear in his mind.
He remembered his past life and saw the college student who was working passionately in a factory, concentrating on making things under a machine toolγγγγγγ
Later, he saw that his mother, who was a member of the mountain in Jinzhou, brought him his favorite rolling noodles, his mother's white hair was blowing in the wind, and his old hand was caressing his foreheadγγγγγγ
Then, he saw Zu Wan'er running towards him laughing, pulling his clothes, and wanted to take him to see the eight views of Jinzhou that he had never had a chance to seeγγγγγγ
He also saw Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Fang Yizao, Ah Shan, Tulai, Gao Pu, Wang Daoqi, Hua Ji and other people who had a major intersection with his life, and their expressions of encouragement, contempt, sympathy, or indifference repeatedly appeared in front of himγγγγγγ
If I fall off the cliff like this, will I be reborn a second time, will I be goneγγγγγγ
Li Xiaoyi's mind was chaotic.
γγγγγγ
A violent mountain wind blew, making Li Xiao, who was confused in hallucination, wake up in an instant. He shuddered violently, trying to keep his thoughts focused, then gritted his teeth and gritted his grip on the rock, his legs hooked into the crevices, and he regained his balance again.
Inadvertently, he glanced below, Monk An, Mo Changrong and the others were already as small as small insects.
Li Xiao took a long breath, tried to stabilize his mind, and then began the final and most difficult climb.
After nearly twenty minutes, Li Xiao, who was on the verge of collapse, used his last strength to finally climb to the edge of the top of the cliff.
It worked!
Li Xiao gasped for breath, clasped his hands tightly on the top of the cliff, at this time, he seemed to be faintly audible, and a faint cheer came from below.
The faint afterglow of the sunset, like the most gentle soothing, painted Li Xiao at the top of the cliff with distinct layers of gold.
Monk An, Mo Changrong, Duan Shidi and others were all full of tears, and all the soldiers hugged each other excitedly and patted each other's shoulders to celebrate.
Li Xiao waited for his breath to be a little even, exerted his strength with both hands, and moved his body up little by little, and when his eyes skimmed over the top of the cliff, he paused for a moment, vigilantly and carefully observing the scene on the cliff.
He saw that at the top of the cliff, there was a slightly sloping open field, with sparse vegetation, and in the distance he could see that there was a path leading to the top at the other end of the cliff, and at that end, three bandits were lying or sitting together, fortunately, they were all sitting and chatting with their backs to themselves.
Li Xiao tried his best to make his final climb slow and steady, at this time, if he broke the rock and made a sound, startling the three bandits, he would have lost all his efforts.
Fortunately, Li Xiao gritted his teeth and moved his heavy body to climb up, without touching the rocks and clods. Exhausted all his strength, he lay on his back on the soft velvety grass, not moving, just gasping for breath.
Li Siye of the Tang Dynasty did it, and now, I, Li Xiao, have finally done it!
Li Xiao was excited, and after lying down for about ten minutes, the weather became darker and darker, and the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.
Li Xiao was secretly happy in his heart, God really helped me!
The three bandits got up and walked down the top of the cliff to avoid the rain, Li Xiao watched them leave, Fang stood up, untied the hemp rope tied around his waist, and fastened it tightly to a big tree not far ahead.
He then lifted a medium-sized stone and threw it towards the cliff under the rope.
This is the upward signal agreed between Li Xiao and the soldiers below.
Mo Changrong and Duan Shidi immediately led the soldiers, one after another, along the rope, to climb the cliff.
Monk An and his six subordinates also climbed up after him.
The cold wind howled, a bolt of lightning swept through the air, and heavy rain poured down.
Everyone who finally climbed to the top of the cliff was drenched like a chicken in soup. It's just that everyone's face is the same excitement and excitement.
The climb went smoothly, and not a single soldier fell off the cliff.
An hour later, more than a hundred soldiers finally all went up the cliff, and the heavy rain, as if they had completed their baptism, stopped the rain and the wind.
A bright moon, with a day's starlight, filled the air, smearing the entire cliff with a faint silver glow.
Li Xiao brushed out the sharp knife at his waist, which was seized from the beheaded skull of the three masters. The cold blade pointed straight down the path to the other end of the cliff.
The final decisive battle has finally arrived!
Everything was as Li Xiao expected, most of the bandits were concentrated at the Goutou Pass behind the Qingteng Bridge, and the defense at the top of the entire Goutou Ridge was extremely weak.
Li Xiao led more than a hundred soldiers to swarm down the road, slashed and killed more than 20 bandits, and rushed to the entrance of the Hidden Cloud Cave, that is, the meeting hall of the bandits.
Fang had to enter the hole, and the second boss howled and rushed forward with dozens of bandits.
Monk An roared loudly and took the lead in rushing forward with his six subordinates.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed, and Monk An and Hu Rats quickly strangled together.
"Rats! You thief, I have always trusted you, I didn't expect you to dare to betray me like this! Today, I'm going to cut off your dog's head! β
"Humph! Monk An, people don't do anything, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, you are so depressed that day, I still do something with you! I only hate that I didn't let the big boss kill you sooner, the thief who seduced foreign enemies! β
The two people scolded each other fiercely and briefly, and they were nervously slashing each other.
Due to the help of Li Xiao and other elite soldiers, Hu Lao's bandit troops were quickly defeated, or fled or scattered, and some lively guys immediately lost their swords and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Seeing that he was invincible, Hu Lao turned around and wanted to flee back, but was surrounded by Li Xiao'an, monk and others.
"Master Li, I'll descend! I fell! Ask Lord Li to be merciful and spare your next life! I am willing to be a cow and a horse, a pig and a dog for Lord Li, and I only ask Lord Li to spare your little life! β
Hu Mouse threw his knife to the ground, knelt on his knees, and begged Li Xiao with humble words.
Li Xiao frowned in disgust, did not speak, but glanced at Monk An on the side.
Monk An understood, strode forward, grabbed the top of the bearded rat's hair, and shouted with a cruel smile: "Hmph, you pig and dog are not as good as things!" Lao Tzu told you to betray your benefactor, Lao Tzu told you to be the grass on the wall, fall with the wind! β
Monk An slashed the knife in his hand, and a cold light swept through, and the head of the bearded mouse immediately jumped up from his neck and tumbled to the ground.
Monk An kicked down the kneeling body of the bearded rat who was still spurting blood, and then spat at the corpse fiercely.
The cave fell silent all at once.
Li Xiao and the others could see clearly that at the end of the brightly lit Tibetan Cloud Cave, on the stone table, the person wearing fine iron armor and calmly eating and munching was the leader of the bandits.
No one would have thought that this bandit could eat and drink so calmly until now.
Seeing Li Xiao and the others rushing forward, he raised his head with one eye and showed Li Xiao a gentle smile.
"It's really hard for everyone to climb the cliff, or else, drink a glass of hot wine to warm up." One eye raised his glass and greeted the crowd warmly, as if he were entertaining guests from afar.
"Don't play tricks, one eye, you are evil, today, your time of death has come." Li Xiao's words were as cold as iron, and the sharp tip of the sword pointed directly at the tip of the nose of one eye.
With one eye and misty eyes, he sipped his teeth and squinted at Li Xiao: "The surname is Li, you and I have no grudges, do you have to kill them all?" β
Before Li Xiao could answer, Monk An on the side shouted: "One eye of ****, how many kind people have you killed, but Lao Tzu has seen it!" Today, we want to avenge the unjust death of the people who died within dozens of miles around this squatting dog mountain! β
One eye glanced at Monk An with contempt, and sneered: "Joke, Lao Tzu did the work of falling grass, and did not kill the people, what to eat and drink?" You ungrateful dog thief, what are you doing all this nonsense this time for! Lao Tzu only hates one thing now, that is, if I knew that you, a thief, ate things inside and outside like this, Lao Tzu should not have accepted you as a bone thief in the first place! β
Li Xiao interrupted him with a cold drink: "One eye! Nonsense, don't say it, do I wait to do it, or you are the go-to-be, you choose! β
Staring at Li Xiao's face with one eye, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then, he shook his head and said softly: "That's it, a certain family has lived to this day, what delicious and fun has not been enjoyed, what beautiful women have not played, in this life, it can be regarded as a full blessing, and if you die today, what is the regret." β
The one-eyed one eye suddenly burst into flames, and he laughed and shouted, "Then, you will accompany a certain family to die together!" β
After speaking, he immediately rushed out with his right hand and pulled the inconspicuous piece of drawstring under the table!
Only Li Xiao watched carefully, he had been staring at the hand movements of one eye, saying that it was late, that was fast, Li Xiao quickly made a move, and the knife in his hand was thrown violently, a cold light flashed, only a violent scream was heard, and the palm of the right hand of one eye had been pierced by the Japanese knife in an instant!
Li Xiao moved so fast that his right hand only had time to touch the pull rope lightly, but he didn't have time to pull it all down.
Rao was like this, and there was still a rumbling sound at the top of the cave, and cracks in the ceiling were blooming everywhere, but fortunately they didn't fall down.
All of them didn't feel the cold hair explode, and their bodies and minds stiffened, and the feeling of passing by death was enough to make anyone shiver.
Thankfully! If it weren't for Master Li's quick move, I would have been smashed into the meatloaf.
One eye had a gloomy eye, but he raised his head and laughed loudly: ", I can't kill you like this, it's really providentialγγγγγγ β
Before the word "human" could be spat out, one eye spurted blood, and then he rolled off his chair and fell to the ground, staring to death.
Li Xiao was secretly frightened, it turned out that this guy had a mortal heart, and poisoned his wine in advance, so he luckily escaped the fate of being slashed by the sword.
At this time, outside the Hidden Cloud Cave, there were noisy footsteps and shouts.
Li Xiao knew that the hundreds of bandits who were originally stationed at the Goutou Ridge should have rushed over now when they heard such a movement here.
Li Xiao quickly glanced at Mo Changrong.
Mo Changrong understood, stepped forward quickly, and with the force of the ladder knife in his hand, he cut off the head of the bandit with one eye.
Then Mo Changrong raised his head with one eye high, and shouted angrily at the hundreds of bandits who were shouting and wanted to rush into the cave: "Wait until you see it clearly!" The leader of the bandits has been killed by our army, and if you don't surrender early, you will end up with this person! β
After Mo Changrong finished speaking, he threw his head towards the bandits.
The first few bandits took their heads, took a closer look, and then exclaimed: "It's really a big boss!" Finished! Finished! We're late! β
"Don't come down yet!"
Mo Changrong roared like thunder, and the bandits on the opposite side had no heart to resist, so they threw down their swords and surrendered on their knees.
The battle against the Squatting Dog Mountain ended with the complete victory of Li Xiaojun.
In the whole campaign, more than 160 bandits were eliminated, 313 were captured, and swords, guns, shields and other items were captured. Li Xiaojun, on the other hand, only paid a slight price of 4 gunmen killed and 7 gunmen wounded.
The entire Squatting Dog Mountain reverberated with the victorious soldiers, and the pride stirred and high-pitched battle songs.
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain! Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! β
