Chapter 23: Infiltration

When the wolf smoke rose from the top of Lishan Mountain, Liu Wei issued a combat order, dispatching twenty small boats to attack the Dark River Waterway to cover the Wushuang Battalion from the bottom of the Dark River into the underground city. The Weinan infantry army on the mountain also carried out a carpet sweep around Lishan Mountain, striking at the hidden passages in the mountain to prevent the people in the mountain from taking the opportunity to escape.

The dark river water is cold, if it weren't for the training with the team members some time ago, I really can't stand it now. On the surface of the water is the Jichuan Navy, and under the water is the underwater master of the Wushuang Battalion, which is really unguardable. Due to the fact that he had to lurk underwater for a long time, Han Xiaofeng asked people to prepare bamboo knots to open up for breathing. The dark river is in the mountain, the light is already dim, and the attention is completely attracted by the water army, and no one will pay attention to a few small spots on the edge of the river.

The dark river channel is hidden at the bottom of Lishan Mountain, and the entrance is small, only enough for one small boat to pass, but when you get inside, three boats can be carried at the same time. In order to cover the sneaking of the Musou Battalion, the captain of the naval army decisively marched side by side, making himself the target of the river guards.

The steep mountain walls on both sides of the river are suitable for ambushes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are thousands of troops in the waterway, it is in vain. After entering the river, the navy decisively erected its shield, only to hear countless arrows whizzing from both sides of the cliff, and the navy immediately lost dozens of soldiers. In order to create chaos, the navy decisively counterattacked, covering the other ships to continue to advance. Seeing that both sides of the river were heavily guarded and had no chance of victory, the other boats resolutely covered themselves with their shields, like turtle shells, and when the guards saw that some of the boats were rushing forward and the arrows were no longer effective, they jumped down with steel knives and stepped on the small boats for hand-to-hand combat.

The Jichuan navy hiding in the ghost shell had to remove the shield to fight against it, and as soon as the shield was removed, it was shot into a hedgehog by the guards on the shore, and it was in a dilemma for a while. Seeing the corpses of the sailor brothers falling into the river, Han Xiaofeng wanted to go up and help them, but he couldn't do this, so he could only take a big breath and continue to swim forward.

Dozens of people from the Wushuang Battalion swam past the bottom of the river, like a school of fish swimming quietly, only a little ripple. The dungeon is still the same as when Han Xiaofeng first came, the lights are bright, but the guards are obviously much less than before, and it seems that the infantry on Lishan Mountain has also brought a lot of pressure to Yang Xiu. However, this happened to help him a lot, and Han Xiaofeng swam to a relatively sparsely populated courtyard according to the route in his memory. After confirming that no one had thrown a stone into the water, the others went ashore one after another and lurked in the alleys on the side.

It's heavily guarded, and all guards will kill strangers at the sight of them. It's obviously impossible to get rid of the guards quietly, but it's easy to create some chaos.

Han Xiaofeng suddenly had a plan, but this plan was a bit against the imprisoned people here, but the great enemy could not be benevolent at the moment. Whether they can survive or not depends on their creation, Han Xiaofeng asked people to continue diving into the water, leaving a few people to set fire to it. As soon as this fire burns, there are many benefits, and when the smoke rolls out, the dark passages on this Li Mountain will be exposed by this smoke, as long as this Weinan infantry is not a traitor and a fool, they know what to do.

Yu Tao, the leader of the guards, has been upset lately, and the entrance to the Dark River has been invaded frequently recently, and although he has not succeeded once, his intuition tells him that it is only a matter of time. The king of Shu arranged that he must guard the entrance of the river, which is the only dead hole of the dungeon and the peak. The other secret entrances are real natural barriers, as long as one person guards others, don't think about entering.

Yu Tao was worried when suddenly a guard ran up and said loudly: "General, the big thing is not good, there is a fire in the courtyard of the Zhang family by the river." Others have already gone to extinguish the fire. ”

Yu Tao secretly congratulated himself, but fortunately, when he found it in time, another guard also reported that the Li family's house was on fire. Knowing that the situation was not good, someone must have lurked in and set it on fire. Yu Tao was also calm, and shouted, "Someone, notify all the guards to extinguish the fire quickly." If a stranger's face is found in the city, they will be executed on the spot, regardless of life or death. ”

The guard commanded "Yes"

Yu Tao said to the deputy general behind him, "Long Hao, you stay here, no matter what happens, don't leave a step, you have to die here, you know?"

Although Long Hao was puzzled, he didn't ask why, so he returned and said, "Yes, big brother"

In ancient times, there were no fire extinguishers and fire trucks, and once the fire broke out, it was the result of not playing. Unless the fire is extinguished at the beginning of the fire, but you can't extinguish this deliberate arson. Sun Chao and a few people shuttled back and forth between the courtyards, clicked this and that, and shot a few arrows when they saw the guards extinguishing the fire, if it was an ordinary person, they would directly knock out and throw it to a safe place on the side of the road, and finally the fire became bigger and bigger, half of the dungeon was burned, and the people and guards were in a mess.

Han Xiaofeng and the others took advantage of the chaos to kill a few guards, changed into their clothes, and then painted their cheeks black, as long as they didn't look carefully, they couldn't see it, and who could remember so many guards so clearly.

Han Xiaofeng saw that there were still dozens of people guarding the entrance and exit, they didn't leave with such a big movement here, it was obviously impossible to leave easily, but it was obviously impossible to kill them quietly, so he had to find another way.

After a while, there were more and more guards around to extinguish the fire, and the door to the peak on the ground was still not opened, no one came down to inquire about the situation, and no one reported to the top, which was very strange. The point is that it is not a way to drag on like this, the fire will be extinguished sooner or later, and the situation will take a turn for the worse by then.

Han Xiaofeng let Liu Er and the others who were lurking in the water come forward, in groups of seven, and five groups advanced in echelons to cover and go straight to the door. Han Xiaofeng and the others waited for the opportunity without moving, and fired arrows one after another with crossbows. In an instant, seven or eight people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and the sudden appearance of a group of black clothes caught Long Hao off guard.

But as a deputy general, Long Hao was not surprised. Let all the soldiers stabilize the formation, as long as this side is not lost, and wait for the guards who are fighting the fire in the city to surround it, and then it will be a good show to catch turtles in the urn. Of course, the development of things was also according to Long Hao's expectations, and Yu Tao in the city was not angry when he found out that he had won the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, because he was afraid of encountering this situation at the beginning, so Long Hao could not leave easily. Now that the thieves can't bear to show up, they can't miss the opportunity, Long Hao let some people continue to extinguish the fire, and he led a large team of men and horses to kill.

Since most of the guards in the dungeon were only responsible for guarding the people detained in the city, they were not equipped with repeaters and bows and arrows. This gave the people of the Musou Battalion a natural long-range advantage, and whenever someone approached, they would be killed by an arrow through their hearts, but even the crossbow could only shoot four arrows in a row before they needed to replace the arrows, which was delayed for about a quarter of an hour. This allows the guards to charge and kill at close range. At that time, it will not be able to give full play to the advantages of the Wushuang Battalion, and it can only be consumed alive. Long Hao knew that the opportunity had come when he saw this group of extremely powerful people shrinking into a ball, and everyone rushed up to kill them, not letting the people of the Wushuang Battalion scatter and exert their personal combat ability, and could only fight in a small space.

Han Xiaofeng and the others took the opportunity to squeeze into the crowd, pulled out a dagger and stabbed the Yin knife. Many people collapsed on the ground without knowing what was going on. Those who didn't know thought that they were squeezed down by the people behind them, or that they were killed by that group of court lackeys with amazing force.

Long Hao watched the battle become more and more intense, people were crowded, people were crowded, and he couldn't see what was going on inside, only seeing his own people constantly falling.

And Liu Er and the others inside were also uncomfortable, they were attacked on all sides, the space was narrow, and they couldn't exert their combat power at all. But fortunately, there is a captain outside, so it can be a little better. Of course, the small space is also beneficial, even if more than a dozen people were injured, they still did not let people break through the formation and break them one by one. Whenever someone was wounded, they were pulled into the inner ring and bandaged, and the other person was immediately added to the combat position. And once the guards were injured and fell to the ground, they were not killed by Liu Er and others, and they were trampled to death by their own people.
