Chapter 66 Victory is in sight

Liu Xiang saw that Ju Cheng actually jumped off the cliff, and at this time, there was a fog in the dark night, and if he didn't light the torch, he couldn't see his fingers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Xiang threw a stone down, but after listening carefully, he couldn't hear the slightest movement, Han Chao saw Liu Xiang standing there watching, and immediately knew what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and said: "It's so high and so steep, I'm afraid he will either fall to pieces or touch the wall and die."

Liu Xiang sighed and said, "Even if you die, don't you want to follow me."

After that, Liu Xiang led all the soldiers down from the cliff together, Liu Xiang patted Han Chao's shoulder before leaving, pointed to the hoof snow yellow dragon horse on the side and said, "Be sure to take care of this war horse."

After Han Chao received the order, he stepped on the hoof snow yellow dragon horse, but the hoof snow yellow dragon horse knew that it was not Ju Cheng who came up, and with a hiss, the hind hooves stepped on the ground hard, and the front hoof kicked forward, and threw Han Chao off his back.

The "general", a lieutenant, saw Han Chao fall off his horse and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Sure enough, it's a good horse," Han Chao said after standing up, stroking the horse's head.

Han Chao personally led the war horse and led his men from the valley to the camp in the north.

However, it was said that Huan Chong was groping his way forward in the darkness with the remnants of the soldiers and the three thousand soldiers and horses, and there was an endless plain under their feet, and they did not dare to light torches to light the way forward because they were afraid of being attacked by the Zhao army.

Liu Xiang knew very well in his heart at this moment that if Huan Chong escaped back, it would mean that the plan was facing bankruptcy, so he didn't dare to slack off and desperately chased in the direction of Huan Chong's escape.

At this time, a wounded cavalry of the Qin army ran over and said to Huan Chong: "General, just now I heard that General Ju fought with the Zhao army on the cliff, and after killing dozens of people, he was finally outnumbered and stabbed under the horse by Liu Xiang, and even the people and horses fell down the cliff."

Huan Chong took a breath of cold air and thought in his heart: "Originally, I ventured into an ambush and caused tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to be broken, but now that Ju Cheng is dead, it is better to put all the responsibility on his head."

Thinking about it, Ju Cheng pretended to be and said: "General Ju sacrificed his life for the country, and I will avenge you sooner or later."

Suddenly, there was a sharp horse's hooves at the stinging slope, followed by a sound: "Huan Chong, don't you want to avenge Ju Cheng, come on."

Huan Chong was taken aback and hurriedly waved the snake spear to protect his face with the spearhead, and through the reflection of the snake spear, it was not difficult for Huan Chong to find that the other party was Liu Xiang, so he said loudly: "Liu Xiang, you killed General Ju, our general will not let you go."

After that, he pulled out his saber and threw it at Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang easily knocked down the saber with the spear in his hand, Huan Chong ordered more than 100 horse archers under his command to release arrows, Liu Xiang and several captains beside him hurriedly retreated to dodge, and then Huan Chong seized the opportunity to withdraw and leave.

Liu Xiang led the army to chase and engage the Qin army behind the palace, holding a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left hand and rushing into the enemy's horse formation, many Qin soldiers did not dare to step forward when they saw Liu Xiang so brave, a Qin soldier captain was stabbed to death under the horse after fighting with Liu Xiang only once, and another captain was killed by the long sword thrown before he could get close to Liu Xiang.

When all the soldiers of the Zhao army saw that the main general was like this, they all brandished their weapons and rushed forward, and after a while, the hundreds of Qin soldiers behind the palace all fell off their horses, and Liu Xiang continued to lead his men to chase in the direction of the Qin army's camp.

Huan Chong didn't dare to turn back in the dark just to escape for his life, and at this time a big tree blocked the way forward, but Huan Chong didn't see that he was knocked down by the tree.

Suddenly, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, Huan Chong was frightened, hurriedly groped for the snake spear from the ground, and then lay on the ground and waited for the other party to approach, a snake spear swept away, the man and the horse fell to the ground, Huan Chong immediately threw the snake spear, pulled out a short knife, pounced, pressed the man to the ground, put his left hand against his neck, and stabbed with the knife in his right hand.

Huan Chong's physical strength was about to be exhausted at this moment, the man covered his neck with one hand and grabbed Huan Chong's right hand with the other, and said breathlessly: "The general spares his life, the little one is not Zhao Jun, but the captain under you."

When Huan Chong heard this, he found that the other party was a lieutenant under him, and at this time, the fleeing Qin troops gathered over, and Huan Chong counted the number of people and found that it was less than five hundred.

A Qin soldier said: "I'm afraid that all of them will be scattered in such a dark sky."

Another Qin soldier hurriedly ran to Huan Chong and said, "It's not good, a large number of Zhao troops were found at 400 meters."

When these Qin soldiers heard this, they were so frightened that they almost fell off their horses, Huan Chong thought for a while and said to everyone: "It seems that you can't go in the direction of the big camp anymore, if you want to live, do as I say."

After everyone arranged according to what Huan Chong said, they retreated from different places in three ways and hidden.

Here Liu Xiang led the troops to gradually chase in, everyone only found hundreds of war horses under the light of torches, not even a shadow of a Qin soldier, Liu Xiang saw this scene and said: "Not good, it seems that they abandoned the war horses and retreated on foot, so that we can't look for the traces of horses' hooves on the ground."

After saying that, Liu Xiang continued to order the soldiers to search separately, and many Zhao soldiers found some straw men wearing Qin armor in the process of searching, and some people unfortunately fell into the trap and died.

When Liu Xiang learned of these news, he ordered his soldiers to stop the search and instead led his army to join Jiang Chen outside the Qin camp, without mentioning it.

At this time, the time has passed, the Qin army camp is still brightly lit, several Qin army patrols are also shuttling back and forth, and Zhao soldiers have reported to Wei Bing that the agreed hour has arrived.

Wei Bing went to the side tent alone to find Fang Ling, and Fang Ying had been gearing up for a long time, and after receiving Wei Bing's order, he took twenty disguised Zhao soldiers to the gunpowder gathering place.

Fang Yong took out the double knives from the drum behind his back, and led his troops to the back village full of fire oil and sulfur, which was the gunpowder gathering place of the entire battalion and was quite heavily guarded.

After finding a reason to enter to no avail, Fang Zhen slashed six guards to death with a knife, and then led his troops to rush in and kill people when he saw them, because this is the back of the whole camp, so it is difficult to find anything unusual, a Qin soldier wanted to beat the drum to sound the alarm, and before he reached the drum platform, he was killed by the throwing knife thrown by Fang Zhen.

After killing all the guards, Fang Yong and the others secretly moved all the oil drums to every corner of the camp, especially the saltpeter and sulfur under the catapults.

Wei Bing saw that Fang Ning's task had been completed, so he ordered all his henchmen and the Zhao soldiers given by Jiang Chen to attack the camps one by one, and he was ready to wait until the fire broke out to protect Fei Ling in order to complete the task assigned by King Yan.

Fei Ling didn't notice it at all at this time, and only recuperated in the big tent of the Chinese army with peace of mind.

Fang Zhen looked up at the sky and said to everyone, "It's time."
