Chapter 50: Conspiracy

Xu Shu's words also startled Hua Wenxuan, too, how can there be a cool breeze in this valley?

Hua Wenxuan looked at He Yan, and He Yan was also puzzled.

Hua Wenxuan secretly said in his heart, could it be that there are any caves or something like that in this valley? I remember once going to the cave, where there is also an occasional cool breeze, the guide who led the way once said that if it is a dead end, there will be no wind in the cave, but where there is wind, there must be other exits in this cave.

Thinking of this, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if there were really other entrances in this valley, if the four Kou knew about it, the pass would not be the only barrier.

Hua Wenxuan called He Yan and advised: "You take people to explore everywhere to see if there are any places like caves, and you must find out clearly." ”

After He Yan left, Hua Wenxuan was uneasy, the battle at the pass became more and more intense, Xu Shu had rushed to deploy manpower, and Chen Zhi above the valley mouth sent someone to extend the rope to replenish the arrows.

Hua Wenxuan was pacing in the valley worriedly, Guan Yu drove over and said, "Wenxuan seems to be worried about something? ”

"Huh? It's nothing. Hua Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about when this Zang Ba will come over." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed, "I'm afraid I want to wait for the Sikou Valley to become more urgent, and throw a rat bogey!" I know a little bit about Zang Baqi, he is a hero, Wenxuan is not worried! ”

Hua Wenxuan laughed a few times with him, and someone from the pass reported: "The attack in front of the valley is getting more and more urgent, and the thieves are suffering countless casualties, but they are still pouring up, and the battle is tight, General Zhang asks for reinforcements." ”

Hua Wenxuan frowned, it seemed that he still thought about this battle simply, Guan Yu on the side looked at Hua Wenxuan, "I'll come when I go!" ”

Hua Wenxuan watched Guan Gong rush away, and he was a little sure that if the two brothers couldn't stand this pass, there would be no one in the world anymore.

Soon after Guan Gong went, Xu Shu had already returned from the pass in disgrace.

Xu Shu picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, "These four cowards seem to be all here, and one of the three checkpoints has been broken, and the thief actually used his blade to cut a gap in the pass." ”

"Gap?" Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, he came to the side of the valley, and picked the valley wall with his hand, and after the red clay in one hand was buckled, the gray rock wall was exposed, "Limestone? Hua Wenxuan said to himself.

"Limestone?" Xu Shu repeated, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Hua Wenxuan looked around the entire valley, and said secretly in his heart: This valley is probably not just on the limestone geology, limestone and red clay are not very hard, so the sharp blade can only appear when it is hit by complicated blows, and another major characteristic of the limestone area is that if the surrounding water system is dense, there will be karst caves.

Hua Wenxuan was stunned, and He Yan in the distance rushed over, "Wenxuan! There is no obvious hole in the exploration behind the valley, but there seems to be an echo after knocking, and there seems to be another gap in the valley wall! ”

Hua Wenxuan looked up at the valley wall above the pass in the distance, a swift was drilling out of a small crack, one by two, and more swifts were coming out one after another. Swifts build nests, pick dark and damp burrows, and all the birds come out together, I'm afraid that there is some movement in the cave?

Hua Wenxuan shouted, "Could it be that there is another path in the valley!?" ”

As he spoke, there were several rumblings in the direction of the pass in the distance, and the shouts of killing seemed to be much closer.

Several soldiers fled from the direction of the pass and reported loudly: "Big things are not good! The valley wall was smashed out of countless holes, and the enemy army had surrounded the pass checkpoints, and the two generals fought and retreated into a heavy encirclement! ”

Hua Wenxuan and the others were instantly shocked.

Hua Wenxuan took out the iron whip on his waist, and was about to rush to the pass, countless holes in the rock wall in the valley in the distance came out of thin air, and the surging enemies rushed into the valley like ants gushing out of the anthill, Hua Wenxuan took a closer look, the hole was obviously covered by a stone slab and sealed with soil, and then smashed open with brute force when it was used.

Hua Wenxuan hurriedly protected He Yan behind him, and Xu Shu scolded: "Beat the drum, everyone retreats to the camp and waits for help!" ”

Xu Shu glanced at Gan Ning, who was holding a single knife and preparing to fight, "You and lead some men and horses to the pass to escort the two generals back to the camp!" Gan Ning nodded, and led the number one hundred and ten people to kill the pass.

Hua Wenxuan gathered his forces and retreated to the large camp in the valley.

The camp is backed by a grain storage center and is located in a declinated corner of the valley, and Hua Wenxuan immediately sent people to explore whether there were still tunnels on the valley wall after entering the camp.

Hua Wenxuan organized manpower to set up antlers at the main gate of the camp, and according to the horses, he was waiting for help.

Above the valley, Chen Zhi also saw such a change, and hurriedly dispatched crossbowmen to rush to the direction of the camp to cover from above.

In less than an hour, the enemy troops who swarmed in from the secret passage had far exceeded the strength of Hua Wenxuan's hands, and they surrounded the large camp in the valley and the direction of the pass, focusing on the direction of the pass, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the huge red leaf valley was densely covered with people in armor, wolf smoke was everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After Xu Shu led people to block the offensive of a wave of thieves, he came to see Hua Wenxuan, "Why didn't Zang Ba march for a long time?" If it continues like this, our army may not be able to support it! ”

Hua Wenxuan pursed his lips tightly, the worst might have been lingering in his mind for a long time.

There is a secret passage hidden in the Red Leaf Valley, Sikou knows, Hua Wenxuan doesn't know, doesn't he Zang Ba know? The front and back attacks were agreed, and now Zang Ba is not marching for a long time, what is his intention? Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but have a thought flashing in his heart, is this Zang Ba really surrendering? He did this, please enter the urn, I am afraid that he really wants Hua Wenxuan's head to give the Yuan family a meeting gift?

The war in the valley is becoming more and more chaotic, the banners of the four soldiers are not the same, there seems to be a lot of troops fighting together in the huge valley, Hua Wenxuan protected He Yan in the camp, but his heart was very anxious, and he urged several times to fire a warning gun, in a vain attempt to urge Zang Ba to march, but there was no news of reinforcements at the pass.

Hua Wenxuan only has less than 10,000 people in his hands, even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gan Ning can be a hundred, after all, they are also mortals, how can they withstand the impact of the four Kou in turn.

The two sides fought in the valley until the sky was dark, and the immature autumn leaves fluttered in the air, stained with blood and dust, dyeing the valley of red leaves as if it were late autumn.

Hua Wenxuan was at the gate of the camp, and Xu Shu tightly guarded this last barrier, but saw in the direction of the pass in the distance, a war horse that could not distinguish the color of a person galloped over, and there seemed to be a person lying on horseback, and several horses and dancing knives behind him chased closely, Xu Shu looked at it, but it was Gan Ning, who had already killed a blood gourd, and hurriedly rushed to the lookout, grabbed a longbow, put on a white feather arrow, and carefully aimed at the pursuers behind Gan Ning.

The hand loosened the arrow, and the nearest horse from Gan Ning fell down, Xu Shu took another arrow, and the real place of the meow shot down the horse under the seat of the other horse, and the remaining horses did not dare to chase anymore, and slowly retreated.

Xu Shu rushed down the camp gate, Hua Wenxuan had already caught Gan Ning, but saw that Gan Ning was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's. The person who immediately fell down was Guan Yu, who had already passed out, and a deep wound on his left arm that was visible to the bone was bubbling with blood. Hua Wenxuan hurriedly called for someone to send Guan Yu into the camp, and He Yan went to the medical officer to stop the bleeding for Guan Yu.

Xu Shu rushed forward and asked Gan Ning, who was slumped to the ground, "What about the pass?" What about General Zhang? ”

"It's over......." Gan Ning raised his head weakly, and replied angrily: "The pass was attacked from front to back, and Yide was surrounded in the depths, in order to protect me, I took Yun Chang to go first, he was broken alone, I am afraid that he has ........"

Hua Wenxuan's heart palpitations for a while, gone? Ten thousand enemies Zhang Fei was buried in this valley by himself? Not kidding, right?

Gan Ning raised his bloody head and looked at Hua Wenxuan, "Wenxuan, I'm afraid we've been tricked!" Zang Ba's army is on the other side of the river, and they have no intention of marching at all? ”

Hua Wenxuan was dizzy for a while, he looked at Xu Shu, his eyes were already blurred, and the earth-shattering shouts seemed to spread farther and farther, and everything seemed so unreal.

Xu Shu shook Hua Wenxuan vigorously, calling out his name, Hua Wenxuan calmed down, grabbed Xu Shu's arm, and said softly: "Brother Yuan, what should I do?" ”

Xu Shu's slightly open mouth was fixed there, and at this moment, no one could think of a countermeasure.

Above the top of the valley, several corpses fell in the air, Hua Wenxuan and the others looked at the top of the valley, only to see that Chen Zhibing above had his back to the valley, and seemed to be engaged in the enemy's battle, nearly half of the soldiers had fallen into the valley, Chen Zhi killed the cliff at the top of the valley in a hurry, and shouted in the direction of the camp: "I have won the plan!" Zang Ba .........."

Before the words were finished, an iron spear had penetrated Chen Zhi's chest from behind, and a big man riding on a black horse, picked up Chen Zhi on the tip of the spear with one arm, and fell into the valley.

Xu Shu silently closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head.
