Chapter 409 100-foot Gorge and 1000-foot Building

Cao Phenol and the others were tired enough, Zheng Biao was not much better, at this time he was sitting in a sheltered place, constantly panting, what the hell, that surnamed Cao has no brains, how can he pounce up when he smells like a mad dog, doesn't this guy know what is the most important thing? Zheng Biao really can't figure out General Cao's thoughts, according to his thoughts, the target of the official army must be the same state capital, he only needs to lead his brothers to harass behind the ass of the official army, in short, he can drag it out. The result was good, General Cao really gave face, and even stopped and was bent on exterminating the people on the mountain.

The officers and soldiers stayed on Shaohua Mountain, and naturally they also completed the purpose of dragging the officers and soldiers, but in the face of so many people searching the mountain, Zheng Biao's pressure was not small. A man with five big and three thick men came out of the bushes, flicked the grass clippings on the warhead, and said with a bitter face, "Brother Biao, the situation is a little wrong, the surname Cao actually pulled everyone back to Shaohua Mountain, looking at his strength, it seems that he will not destroy us, and he will not give up!" ”

"Yes, tell the brothers, stop it, don't make trouble today, save the province and let those mad dogs target" Zheng Biao rolled his eyes, and his heart was dark, but he was really unlucky to meet such a mediocre general as Cao Zhe.

Zheng Biao's department is very familiar with Shaohua Mountain, and once it is hidden and does not appear, it is useless to let Cao Phenol be hysterical. After nightfall, the wind still did not stop, after a tiring day, Cao Phenol found a good place to rest in the village, and those officers and soldiers were also exhausted, and most of them slept like dead pigs. The mountain wind is howling, the rustle in the forest is constant, and the night is dark. It's eerie. Cao Phenol is asleep. He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying led their men and horses quietly out of the cottage and came to Dongfeng. For the sake of convenience, at the beginning, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying put their headquarters to the east of the village, so once they took action, Cao Phenol didn't even notice it.

He Zuolin led the people to the east along the Dongfeng Mountain Road, aiming directly at Taihua Mountain, and at this time, there was also a group of men and horses hiding in the dark and sneaking quietly. The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill people and set fires. Zheng Biao is also addicted to arson, thinking that after a day of fishing for the officers and soldiers today, eighty percent of those officers and soldiers slept soundly, if they suddenly set fire, it would be a lot of fun. Halfway through, about mid-hour, two spies ran back with their bodies bowed in front of them, all of them looking startled and breathing heavily, apparently after a wild run. "Brother Biao, there are many officers and soldiers ahead. It's coming to us, what do we do now? ”

Zheng Biao chuckled in his heart, he was really frightened, could it be that the official army really came at him Zheng Biao? Now that there are many officers and soldiers, and their own forces are weak, it is okay to engage in sneak attacks, but if you really want to fight hard, you are not sure at all. To be honest, Zheng Biao was a little scared, but he didn't dare to show it, and at this time, the brothers on the mountain pointed at him. After forcing himself to calm down, Zheng Biao thought about it carefully, it is estimated that the official army is not coming at him, if the official army knows this, they should do it during the day, so why wait until the middle of the night? Thinking about this, Zheng Biao raised his hand and signaled, "Lead the people to retreat and retreat to the side of the cliff." ”

The cliff is not a real cliff, but just a gap between Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain, because the gap is relatively steep, from the bottom of the mountain road, it looks like a line of sky terrain, so it is called a cliff.

Zheng Biao thought very simply, no matter what the purpose of those officers and soldiers going east in the middle of the night was, since they had met them, it was not wrong to teach these officers and soldiers a lesson. Originally, I had prepared something to start a fire, and I was going to burn the cottage, but now I had to turn around and send it to the cliff. Zheng Biao asked people to prepare on the top of the mountains on both sides of the cliff mountain road, waiting for the official army to come, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying didn't expect that there would be people blocking the road in front of them, so they didn't take precautions along the way. In the ugly time, the team came to the cliff mountain road, and He Zuolin was no stranger to this cliff mountain road, so he ran back and forth three times during the day yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't even touch the thief's hair. Because they were too familiar, they lost their vigilance, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Qinfeng Road entered from the north entrance of the mountain road, intending to cross the ridge and enter Taihua Mountain.

Ding, dang, a slight sound entered his ears, He Zuolin was shocked, looked up at the top, and suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be that he had encountered a thief? The mountain road here is long and narrow, and the steep walls on both sides are lined up, if there is an ambush, it is called the heaven and the earth should not be called the earth. Sometimes what are you afraid of, He Zuolin just opened his mouth to urge the team to speed up the pace, a fire lit up on both sides of the mountain road, and then countless figures stood on the cliff, and a big man with a ghost head knife grinned and laughed, "Lao Tzu is still going to burn the cottage, but I didn't expect someone to send it to the door by himself, brothers, add fire to the brothers under the mountain, and it will be lively." ”

The sulfur, hay and rolling wood that had been prepared long ago were thrown down, the torches were dropped, and the south side of the mountain road was blocked by fire in an instant. Once ignited, this Artemisia annua has an insect repellent effect, but it is often accompanied by thick smoke, and it also has a pungent strange smell. Now it is the southeast wind, the mountain road is narrow, the sides are high, the mountain road is even more fierce, rolling up a stream of smoke straight to the north of the mountain road, just a pillar of incense time, the whole mountain road is shrouded in smoke, a group of officers and soldiers are smoked tears, coughing constantly.

He Zuolin hated these thieves, especially that Zheng Biaozi, who was really lacking in morality.

Zheng Biao has been a mountain bandit for more than ten years, and the best thing is to fall into the well, at this time, the officers and soldiers are in a mess of porridge, shouting and screaming outward, although there is thick smoke shrouded, and you can't see the situation below, but as long as you carry the stone and close your eyes and go down, there will always be unlucky eggs who will be hit by stones. There was a burst of stones, and the smashed officers and soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers, waiting for He Zuolin to lead the people to take out the cliff mountain road, a little number, there were not many dead, but most of them were bruised and swollen.

Zheng Biao didn't want to kill too many people, because His Royal Highness and General Niu had explained that for the officers and soldiers, it was still mainly to deter and surrender, especially most of these people were the children of Guanzhong, if they fought hard, it would not be a good thing for the Dingguo Army to gain a foothold in Guanzhong in the future.

He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying led the wolf to flee back to Shaohua Mountain Village, and because the movement was too loud when they came back, many people were awakened. Even General Cao, who had always been sleepy, ran out with his coat on. Take a look at the situation of the soldiers of He Zuolin's department. He was so frightened that his old face turned pale and said, "General He, General Yuan, what's going on?" ”

The concern on Cao Xuan's face was not like a fake, but at this time, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying were blushing, but their faces were dark, and others couldn't see the change in their faces. Yuan Shiying spat and said with an obscure face, "Don't mention it." I got the news that the thieves were hiding in the area of the cliff, so a certain family and General He led the troops forward, but I didn't expect the thieves to put a fire in front of them, and there was something smoking, which smoked the soldiers enough. ”

Yuan Shiying didn't dare to tell the truth, if he told the truth, with General Cao's small-bellied chicken intestines, he wouldn't have to turn his face immediately?

The battle of the cliff mountain road made the officers and soldiers panic. Especially Cao Phenol, he was afraid that Zheng Biao would lead people to burn the cottage again. More than a dozen patrol troops were dispatched in a row, and those officers and men who were fortunate enough to rest did not sleep peacefully, because most of them were afraid that they would die in the fire unknowingly if they fell asleep. These days, the officers and soldiers have psychological shadows in their hearts, and those thieves seem to be very good at setting fires.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, the people sent by Yang Zaixing to Shaohua Mountain finally found Zheng Biao who was sleeping in the corner of the East Peak, and when he heard that Yang Zaixing and Yu Lai led most of the people to arrive, Zheng Biao immediately said happily, "How many people came?" ”

"Back to General Zheng, there are about 7,000 people, General Yang hopes that General Zheng can lead the officers and troops to the Baiqi Gorge on the eastern peak of Taihua Mountain, and General Yang and General Yu will lead people to wait there!"

"Okay, you go back and tell General Sù Yang, before noon, Zheng will lead the officers and soldiers to the Hundred Feet Gorge!" Zheng Biao had already guessed what Yang Zaixing wanted to do, in fact, he had fought this idea before, but he didn't have enough troops in his hands to implement it.

The building goes to the gorge and comes back, and the natural danger is not instantaneous. Although the clouds are 100 feet gorge, 1 foot and 1,000 feet. Baiqi Gorge, also known as Baizhang Cliff, is known as the second dangerous place in Taihua Mountain, and in front of Baiqi Gorge is the first dangerous place of 1,000 feet. The thousand-foot building is connected to the hundred-foot gorge, like a long snake connected to the head, and the road is rugged, if you are not familiar with the distance, most of them will be unlucky. As long as the officers and soldiers enter the thousand-foot building and the hundred-foot gorge, they only need to be heavily guarded at the exit of the hundred-foot gorge, and then let people seal the exit of the thousand-foot building on the other side with a boulder, and no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, they will not be able to make any waves. Unless the officers and soldiers are martial arts masters, they can fly down from the Baiqi Gorge with light skills.

Zheng Biao's plan to lure the enemy was actually very simple, he only needed to send someone to shout a few words, and then put a few hidden arrows, and General Cao immediately led people to rush over. This time, even He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying bit Zheng Biao, the ugly accident was really embarrassing, and Zheng Biaozi had to be caught to get the scene back. The officers and men were not familiar with the terrain on the mountain, and Zheng Biao quickly led a group of officers and soldiers into a thousand-foot building and walked along the first-line Tianshan Road, and the officers and men couldn't stop even if they wanted to. This is also due to the unique topography of the thousand-foot building, where the mountain is extremely steep, especially from the top down, it is like riding a slide.

The terrain of the thousand-foot building is too similar to the cliff mountain road, He Zuolin broke out in a cold sweat, and kept shouting to stop, but it was in vain to shout, and General Cao shouted vigorously to capture Zheng Biaozi alive, and rushed forward with a group of people under his command as if they didn't want to die. Near noon, after Zheng Biao and Yang Zaixing rendezvous, Yu Lai ordered someone to send out arrows, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army on the other side hugged the prepared stones, and the rumbling sound filled the mountain road, blocking the northern entrance of the narrow thousand-foot building in an instant, and some stones also rolled down the steep mountain road, and in the blink of an eye, a few unlucky people were crushed under the boulder.

Cao Phenol was so frightened that his white hair and sweat stood up, and at this time he also knew that he had fallen for Zheng Biaozi's misdeeds, in this kind of place, if the enemy found a few round stones, the soldiers would not have to suffer heavy casualties? led people to rush to the 100-foot gorge, although the 100-foot gorge was much wider than the 1,000-foot building, but halfway through the rush, it was blocked back by a rain of arrows.

He Zuolin's face was black and white, white and black, and those who didn't know thought he was worried or afraid. And in fact, He Zuolin was angry with himself, and when he was ugly, he was beaten up by Zheng Biaozi blocking the cliff and mountain road, but he didn't expect this to happen for a day, and then fell into the same trap, did he He Zuolin have a pig brain? The back road is blocked, the archers in front are waiting, and you have to be careful of the stones that may be dropped at any time on both sides, and the 20,000 soldiers have really become turtles in the urn.

Blocking so many people at once, Zheng Biao was very happy, lying on the top of the mountain pinching a small pebble and throwing it towards Cao Pheno, "The surname Cao, aren't you quite majestic in the past two days, chasing Lao Tzu all over the mountain, how is it now?" ”

Cao Pheno's old face was flushed, the ghost head knife slammed into the ground, glared and said angrily, "Zheng Biaozi, what do you want to do?" ”

"What? Lao Tzu slaughtered you" Zheng Biao also lit a fire, and seeing that Cao Phenol was still showing off his might, he immediately went to the longbow, like an arrow to kill Cao Pheno. Yang Zaixing frowned, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "General Zheng is angry, His Highness has an order to capture these people alive, especially this Cao Phenol, His Highness is still very useful!"
