Because of the angle suppression, the Yuan army under the mountain could not see the Song army on the mountain, so the marching speed was only a little faster than the normal march. After all, you have to climb a mountain, so you can't waste your energy on the road.

However, when the Yuan army was still two miles away from the foot of the mountain, a horse galloped to convey the marshal's order, and Liu Zili almost jumped up.

"Liu Meng!"

In the roar of Liu Zili, a bearded man with a majestic image in armor rode a horse. This general, who hung a hundred household waist cards, was born as a Jiangyang thief, and after being subdued by Liu Zili, he was accepted as a pro-general because of the same surname. This person is not afraid of death in battle, and his arm strength is outstanding, so that a short-handled mace weighing more than 20 catties can smash people's heads, and he is the first fierce general under Liu Zili.

"There is a group of about twenty Song troops on the mountain ridge." Liu Zili pointed to the south of the Nameless Peak, murderous, "Give you a team of 100 people, 50 crossbowmen, and 50 gun players, and seize the mountain first." If the Song army reaches the top first, kill them all! ”

Liu Meng smiled fiercely, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Lord Qianhu put one hundred and twenty hearts, and within half an hour, I will bring you twenty broken heads." ”

With a series of shouting orders, one by one, the named crossbowmen and gunsmiths broke away from the team, followed by Liu Meng on horseback, and ran quickly towards the foot of the mountain.

Counting up, Liu Zili was the first general of the Yuan Army to deal with the senior generals of the Dragon Bird Army. During the battle of Haifeng Ferrisle, he set up an ambush with the giant thief Chen Yi to trap Chen Zan and other anti-Yuan righteous soldiers. Even Zhao Lie and Jiang Fenglie were almost planted. If Liu Zili knew that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, who was disturbing the entire Great Yuan at the moment, was almost caught by him, he was afraid that he would be so depressed that a mouthful of old blood would spurt out.

can make Jiang Fenglie suffer a big loss, and let Zhang Hongfan point Liu Zili, who is guarding the back road, to be an idle person. At the moment of receiving the marshal's order, Liu Zili's rich battlefield experience immediately grasped the key, and the most important thing now is speed, whoever reaches the top first will seize the opportunity.

Although the information was not clear, Liu Zili was almost certain that the twenty Song soldiers must be musketeers, and the crossbowmen and gunsmiths he sent were not the most suitable troops to deal with musketeers, but they were the lightest and fastest troops. Since the two armies were climbing mountains in opposite directions, and they couldn't see each other, the sharpest long-range attack of the musket was useless, so he didn't worry at all. As long as you occupy the mountain first, or even if both sides climb to the top at the same time, hand-to-hand combat is the strength of the gunner, and no matter how fierce the musket loses distance, it can only be beaten......

Liu Zili thought about it a few times, thinking that his arrangement was very stable, and when he waved his horsewhip, his voice was as loud as a thunderbolt in the crisp sound of the ground: "Full speed march!" ”

……

When Liu Meng led the Yuan army of 100 people to rush to the foot of the north slope of the mountain and began to climb the mountain, Liang Ertiao on the other side of the mountain was climbing with twenty soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army.

At this moment, the Song and Yuan soldiers on the north and south slopes were like a swarm of spiders, their hands and feet were spread, their bodies were close to the ground, and they began to move upwards little by little.

The twenty fighters selected by Liang Ertiao are all good climbers, and if they are in a normal state, even if the nameless peak is steep and slippery, they can climb to the top of the mountain in a moment. But they had already carried dozens of pounds of weight and trekked dozens of miles in the rugged and dangerous jungle where there was no road at all, and their physical strength was greatly consumed. Half an hour ago, because I found out that the Yuan army had seized the ridge army, I ran with all my strength to seize the mountain, and when I reached the mountainside of the nameless peak, I was so tired that I couldn't do it.

The peak-grabbing troops of the Song and Yuan armies had their own advantages and disadvantages: as soon as the Song army came out of the jungle, it was the mountainside of the nameless peak, so it started to climb from the mountainside. Although the distance is short, everyone has too much physical exertion, and even if they try their best, the climb is still as slow as a snail. The Yuan army, on the other hand, started to climb from the foot of the mountain, the distance was longer, but the victory was full of physical strength.

In this race, whoever can stand on the top of the mountain first and stand firm will be the winner.

Whether it is the south slope or the north slope, the terrain is similar, the same steep and slippery, the same rocky. In some sections, there are no stones at all, and the soil is so soft that you can only climb by grabbing the stems of grass with well-developed roots or digging deep into the soil with a dagger. In the process, from time to time, some soldiers could not grasp the rocks and slided, and even more unlucky even rolled all the way to the bottom of the mountain. But as long as you can still move, you have to continue to get up and grit your teeth.

Liang Erjo was the first to rush up the hill, but when he was halfway up the climb, he pulled to the bottom. His marksmanship is good, yes, but his physical strength is average. As the leader of this team, even if you can't rush to the first, you can't pull last!

Liang Ertiao was in a hurry, as if his lead-filled legs were kicking hard, the mud and stones fell straight down, and his body jumped upwards with the momentum, grabbing a prominent sharp stone. Suddenly, under gravity, the half-buried sharp stone loosened, and the mud and sand fell down.

Liang Ertiao let out an unwilling roar, and his body slipped down the mountain helplessly. Grabbed with both hands all the way, the grass stalks broke as soon as they were pulled, and the stones rolled with him, the clothes were worn out, the skin and flesh were torn, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't control it anymore...... Suddenly, his right hand seemed to touch something, and Liang Erjo grabbed it like a drowning person's instinct. A strong force came, and it actually stabilized the momentum of the fall.

Frightened, Liang Ertiao twisted his bloodied face, and only then did he see that he was holding a thick flagpole in his hand, and the flagpole was held in the palm of a big man with a big fan.

Liang Ertiao gasped: "Thank you...... Thanks, Da Zhuang. ”

The big sergeant smiled: "Head, you fell to the end like me." ”

This big guy is Shi Dazhuang, the new annex army who was captured by Kuromaru when the young warring team raided Fengsui on Duzhou Mountain Island. This fool is not very bright-minded, but he has a lot of strength, fights bravely, and after surrendering, he is promoted to the head of the flag, that is, the flag bearer.

One of the signs of seizing the nameless peak and gaining a firm foothold this time is to erect the banner of the Song army. Therefore, although Shi Dazhuang is not a musketeer and can't run fast, he still takes the lead as a white banner. It's just that he fell behind when climbing, but he saved Liang Ertiao.

Liang Ertiao was about to say something, when suddenly there was a drumming sound from the other side of the mountain. Hearing this rumbling drum, the climbing warriors seemed to feel something, and everyone desperately climbed up, and for a time the mud and rocks on the hillside fell like rain.

Liang Ertiao wiped a handful of hot faces, stretched out his tongue to lick the blood flowing to the corners of his mouth, and his palm, which was rubbed into a bloody blur, slammed a protruding rock: "Da Zhuang, let's go!" ”

On the other side of the hillside, in the sound of drums full of killing sounds, the Yuan soldiers were also desperate. Looking from the mountain road, I saw that the Yuan soldiers who were attached to the hillside like ants pulled out strips of faint smoke and dust, constantly moving upward. From time to time, there are missing Yuan soldiers who drag a long howl and tumble all the way, which is terrifying.

Under normal circumstances, the main general in the marching state is usually in the middle of the army, that is, in the middle of the team, for safety. However, at this moment, Liu Zili took the lead, staring at the top of the mountain with one eye, and constantly moving with the swaying figures of Liu Meng and other Yuan soldiers.

There was no Song army on the top of the mountain, and Liu Meng and other Yuan soldiers were getting closer and closer to the peak.

The corners of Liu Zili's mouth hooked, and a smile just appeared and then froze - on the top of the mountain, a figure appeared, and then another ......

"Liu Meng, kill them!" Liu Zili's hand clutching the horsewhip tightened, and the green muscles jumped violently, and he yelled in disgust.

At this time, Liu Meng, who had also climbed to the top of the mountain, of course couldn't hear the roar of the main general under the mountain, but he also saw the figure that appeared on the top of the mountain, and the distance between the two sides was only ten steps.

In normal times, the distance of ten steps is the best strike distance for Liu Meng's mace, as long as a tiger pounces, he can smash the opponent's head. At this point, however, he only clubbed his mace on the ground, and could do nothing but gasp for air.

Similarly, the Song soldier who climbed up first ten steps away was panting like an ox, sweating like rain, his hands trembling, and he didn't even have the strength to pull out the soft plug to drink water.

The two life-and-death opponents just lay on the ground, staring wide-eyed, but they couldn't even move a finger.

And the soldiers of the Song and Yuan armies who climbed up later turned a blind eye to the enemy in front of them, and one by one they turned their bellies to the sky, inhaling desperately, like fish that was about to die......

Looking down from the sky, you can see an extremely strange scene - two teams about to start a life-and-death struggle are lying on their backs, and the nearest two people are almost outstretched within reach......

On the battlefield at this moment, there was a strange silence that had been rare in the decades of war between the Song and Yuan dynasties.

When the silence breaks, the bloody battle begins.
