Chapter 61: Grappling
As a battlefield of the valley, the sides are steep, the slope is very high, covered with large stones exposed outside the soil, only two parallel official roads twist and turn in the valley bottom, and there are dense trees on both sides, if you run into the mountains and forests, you can only see a figure faintly in the gap between the trees, and it is very difficult to chase and play in it.
At present, the Qing soldiers are facing such a situation, Li Tingyu's men are scattered and fled, and there are figures flashing far or near on both sides of the official road, but almost no figure is in the same direction, and the Qing soldiers can only separate, and several people chase a figure.
Su Le led more than 20 people, closely followed the tall figure who was shouting loudly just now, his pair of eagle eyes never left Li Tingyu's back for a moment, and he ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows with bows several times, but the man used the trees to cover and dodge, which made Su Le even more hateful, and he couldn't wait for the wind under his feet to fly to Li Tingyu's side.
It's a pity that the hillside that is being climbed is a stone mountain, Li Tingyu is very good at choosing a place, in addition to the stones on the mountain, there are trees, the slope is very steep, and you have to use both hands and feet to climb up. Li Tingyu was originally from Sichuan, since he was a child, he was accustomed to climbing mountains and mountains, climbing mountains like walking on flat ground, mountains are as easy for him as walking bends, he lost the burden of being inserted like a hedgehog by feather arrows, and his body was light, like an ape jumping and moving between the mountains and rocks, and climbed to the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
Although Su Le and the others are strong, they are good at horse kung fu, and they are not good at this rock climbing sport, and the distance between them and Li Tingyu is not very far, but it is being pulled farther and farther away.
Li Tingyu climbed to the top of the slope, took a breath, hid behind a big rock and looked down the slope, and saw a group of Eight Banner soldiers in iron armor still crawling the mountainside, couldn't help but sneer, and said frankly: "Isn't it self-inflicted suffering to compete with your grandfather on the soles of your feet?" ”
With a turn of his eyes, he condescendingly saw the corpses of his subordinates in a pool of blood in the distant mountain pass, and the irrepressible grief in his heart was uncontrollable.
These **** tartars, Li Tingyu was furious, and subconsciously touched his body, only then did he remember that he was pretending to be a businessman, with no bow or gun on his body, only a short knife hidden in his waist. He took out the knife and looked at it, thinking that it would not kill anyone if he threw it down as a hidden weapon, and inserted it back into his waist, looked around, picked up a big stone in his hand, stood up and raised his head high, and scolded angrily: "Come on, the **** Dongnu, grandpa is here, come and fight with grandpa!" ”
Just as he was about to throw the position of the Heavenly Spirit Cover on the head of the Qing soldier who was rushing down with the stone, several hands stretched out from the oblique thorn, and someone shouted: "General, be careful! Several pairs of hands worked together to drag Li Tingyu to the ground.
Several people fell to the ground, only to hear the sound of "boom" above their heads, and three or four sharp arrows flew past the place where Li Tingyu was standing just now, if it wasn't for falling to the ground, Li Tingyu had already been shot through at this time.
Li Tingyu secretly called luck, got up and saw that it was no one else who saved his life, it was Wang Huan and a group of monks who climbed fast with oil on the soles of their feet, it turned out that when they saw that the situation was not good, they took the lead in climbing towards the roadside mountain without waiting for Li Tingyu's order, so although they were young and weak, they climbed faster and higher than Li Tingyu, a soldier who grew up in the mountain, and had already reached the top of the mountain. hurriedly rushed over and knocked down Li Tingyu to prevent him from being pierced by random arrows.
"My lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, we have to get out of here quickly!" Wang Huan glanced at the Qing soldiers who were falling behind him and said eagerly.
Li Tingyu let out a cold sweat, his feverish mind calmed down, and he also knew in his heart that the situation was critical, and he would have to explain it here today, so he nodded busily, looked around, but said bitterly!
The top of the hillside where everyone stood was just a small hill of a towering stone mountain, the stone mountain was thirty meters high, steep on all sides, and the inner side was connected to the stone mountain, and only the side that climbed up could barely allow people to climb up like monkeys, and if they wanted to go down from here, they had to go back the way they came, but on the way to come, Su Le and the others were waiting with their necks up and holding knives.
Wang Huan gritted his teeth, looked up at the stone mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Now there is no other way but to continue to climb up, and when you get to the top, there may be a path to go down from the other side." ”
Xu Goudan asked in fear: "But, what if you reach the top of the mountain and there is no way down from it?" ”
Chen Ergou gave him a slap in the face, slapped it on the door, and said angrily: "You can't say something nice!" ”
Li Tingyu also raised his head and looked up, and said solemnly: "Regardless of whether there is a road on it, Wang Huan is right, he can only climb up, quickly!" Don't be verbose, the Tartars down there are coming up! ”
More than a dozen little monks hurriedly rushed to the mountain rock, using their hands and feet together, clinging to the cracks in the stones, trying to climb up. The mountain wall is almost straight up and down, but fortunately there are some vines growing out of the cracks, and with the rock crevices, you can put your hands and feet on your feet, and it is not very difficult to climb.
gritted his teeth and crawled for a while, Wang Huan only felt that his hands and feet were about to lose his strength, hanging in the air like this, only relying on his hands and feet to support him, plus the dizziness at the heights, it was easy for people to be afraid of heights, and those with little strength, such as Wang Huan and the like, immediately felt tired.
But if you don't climb, the Tartars below will catch up, and it will be a dead end, Wang Huan looked left and right, Xu Goudan and Chen Ergou and other little monks, but they are extremely flexible, attached to the mountain wall like a gecko hanging on the wall, rubbing a vigorous rise, without half a pillar of incense, one by one on the top.
Wang Huan was helpless, and scolded this guy in his heart for not being righteous, but at this time, he relied on his belly to support himself, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be deflated, and he would fall down immediately, so he had to close his mouth tightly, staring at the top of the mountain and not daring to move his nest, and moving up step by step.
Just when he was physically and mentally exhausted, he threw down a long vine on the top of the stone mountain and threw it directly to his side, Wang Huan looked at it, and saw a string of heads emerging from the top of the mountain, and Xu Goudan shouted: "Quickly grab the vine, we will pull you up." ”
Wang Huan was overjoyed, and immediately shouted again in his heart: "It's still interesting for these little brothers." He stretched out his hands, grasped the vine firmly, and hung himself on it, and then all the people above pulled him up to the top of the mountain like a pig.
Stepping on the ground, Wang Huan let out a long breath, and then immediately began to observe the place where he was, and found that the top of the stone mountain was not big, only about ten squares, volleyed on all sides, there was no way out, any side, it was a cliff, and the bottom was nearly 100 meters high.
Chen Ergou followed Wang Huan and looked around, his face turned pale, and he slapped Xu Goudan again: "You crow's mouth, look at the good things you did!" ”
Xu Goudan covered his head and said with a crying voice: "What did I do? I didn't do anything! ”
Hu Dahai hurriedly said: "Wang Huan, what can I do now?" Where do we flee from? ”
Wang Huan glared at him, and said in his heart, you ask me, who will I ask? Right now, it was a dead place, except for a colorful auspicious cloud descending from the sky, which put us all on it and floated away, and it didn't retreat at all.
Thinking so in his heart, he can't say this in his mouth, Wang Huan is a person who has died once, and he was saved by Li Tingyu once under Tian Xiong's knife, he understands the preciousness of life, and the desire to survive is extremely strong, until the last moment, he will not give up easily, even if he is facing a Jedi at this time, he still frowns, nervously thinking about a way to get out. He glanced at the topography of the mountain inch by inch, but suddenly remembered another thing, there seemed to be one less person on the top of the mountain.
"What about Lord Li? Where is he? Wang Huan glanced at his eyes and found the problem, Li Tingyu didn't come up!
The little monks looked at each other, they were busy just now, no one noticed this problem, Wang Huan desperately threw himself on the side of the mountain wall that he climbed up, and looked down.
I saw that on the top of the hill below, Li Tingyu, the white-pole soldier commander, was hiding behind the rocks, peeking at the Qing soldiers who were trying to climb below, and when he saw which one climbed fast, he was about to approach the top of the mountain, grabbed a big stone and threw it down, accurately smashed it on the person's head, and then immediately retracted behind the stone, dodging the bow and arrow that came up.
There is no way to dodge on the mountain wall, and it is impossible to climb the mountain to keep looking up, Li Tingyu smashed a quasi, the smashed head broke the blood flow, and rolled down the hill with a wail, although the slope of the hill bag is steep, it is still a little gentle, and rolling down will not kill you.
Su Le was furious, it was so weird today, first a firework made a group of rebels who could easily be taken down into frightened birds, and made the hunt he painstakingly managed into the current mountain climbing competition, and then finally surrounded the thief leader, but he was stoned by himself and had nothing to do, this battle was really aggrieved, and he must never forget.
"Spread out, send someone to climb up from behind!" Sule roared: "Whoever catches the head of the thief will be rewarded with thirty slaves and a thousand taels of silver!" ”
