Night, quietly.

In the Liaodong camp in the cold wind, the lights were dim, and most of the sergeants had fallen asleep. The Liaodong Army, who were on duty in the fence, kept stomping their feet, and groups of patrol soldiers shuttled back and forth in the camp.

The location of the baggage camp is in a wide area in the middle of the mountain road, about twenty or thirty meters wide and hundreds of meters long. The whole granary camp was brightly lit and illuminated as if it were day.

On the cliff on the left side of the mountain road, there is a black shadow.

Zhang He looked down at the baggage camp with cold eyes, and looked down from the top of the cliff, with an unobstructed view. I saw wooden granaries with round peaks neatly arranged, like Tallinn; In the back, there are rows of large tents with steeples, which must have been filled with all kinds of baggage; There were no other guards inside, except for the occasional patrol of soldiers and dozens of guards.

Zhang He waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Down! ”

The Taiping warriors immediately slid down the thick vines like apes, each carrying a skin bag filled with fire oil.

Rows of sharp antlers blocked their path.

With a choking sound, Zhang He took the lead in drawing his knife and slashed at the antlers in front of him.

All the soldiers drew their swords one after another, and soon cut the antlers in front of them to make a way.

The Taiping soldiers rushed up and quickly rushed to the fence.

Yes~

Several terrible screams pierced the night sky.

An accident happened, just as the sergeants were about to approach the fence, suddenly a large black pit appeared on the ground, and the soldiers who rushed to the front could not hold their feet, and fell into the trap one after another, and the sharp spear tip at the bottom of the trap pierced their bodies.

Woo woo woo~

At this moment, countless soldiers of the Liaodong Army rushed out of the first row of granaries in the camp, and more than a dozen horns sounded in unison, and the horns rose to the sky, resounding throughout the entire Liaodong battalion.

"Hurry back!" Zhang He's face changed greatly.

Just listening to the sound of shouting and killing, there were thousands of soldiers in ambush in the Liaodong army's heavy camp, and they swarmed with crossbow arrows when they heard the sound of horns.

In the camp of the Liaodong Army, Gongsun Du had just slept in his clothes. There was a sound of killing like the sky cracking in the tent, Gongsun Du was suddenly startled, lifted his weapon and rushed out of the tent, and said angrily: "What's the matter." What's going on, where is the sound of killing? ”

"General, the baggage battalion has been attacked, and General Liangmao has already led his troops to respond."

Gongsun Du's voice fell, and the answer of Yulin Zhonglang Zhang Mian sounded outside the sleeping tent. This person is Gongsun Du's confidant and fierce general, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, but his mind is slightly simpler.

"The baggage battalion was attacked?" Gongsun Du frowned and said, "How did the enemy army emerge from behind?" How many people are there? ”

"About three or five hundred people, coming down from the cliff." Outside the tent, Zhang Nian said, "The enemy army carried the burning object down the cliff from the top of the cliff along the vines. ”

"Vines?" Gongsun Du suddenly changed color, and hurriedly ran towards the edge of the cliff, staring closely at the dense vines attached to the cliff wall, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Haha! God help me! Gongsun Du laughed.

After laughing for a while, he said to Zhang Nian: "Go." Go with Ben and check it out, and don't let this group of daring fools get rid of one. ”

As a commander of the powerful Liaodong garrison, how could he not fire attacks, and he didn't care about the enemy's sneak attack.

Boom Boom!

The Taiping army sprayed the antlers with the oil in the leather bags behind them, and then ignited them, and soon the antlers on both sides quickly ignited into a huge fire, spreading to both sides, although they could not burn to the granaries in the camp. But it was enough to disrupt the enemy army.

"Withdraw!" Zhang He shouted sharply.

More than 300 Taiping warriors immediately rushed to the bottom of the cliff and began to climb up the vines.

Behind, the Liaodong army swarmed and rushed to the top of the cliff. At this time, most of the Taiping soldiers had only climbed halfway, and rock climbing was originally a very dangerous slow job, not to mention climbing in the dark, and one might fall to pieces if he was not careful.

Liang Mao, the general of Liaodong under the cliff, raised the torch high, looked at the dense black shadows on the cliff wall, and showed a hideous smile on his face. He shouted in a deep voice: "Let go of the arrows, don't let one go!" ”

Woohoo!

Countless sharp arrows came out at the black shadow **** on the cliff, fast and ruthless.

Yes!

A Taiping soldier was hit by an arrow in his back, and then he felt depressed in his heart, and as soon as his hand was loosened, he fell from the cliff wall several feet high like a stone, and his brain was shattered with a puff, and the terrible screams echoed on the top of the cliff.

Plop plop!

On the cliff, a Taiping soldier was shot in the back of the head, fell down, and grabbed a few times in the air without realizing his hands, who knew that he actually grabbed the arm of another Taiping soldier, the unlucky Taiping army couldn't bear it with both hands, and was pulled down, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, bleeding all over the ground.

The rain of arrows rained wave after wave, shooting towards the cliff wall endlessly, and the Taiping army on the cliff had nowhere to hide, no way to resist, only desperately rushed towards the top of the cliff.

Shout!

A sharp arrow rushed to Zhang He's vest, and the Taiping army beside him was shocked, kicked his feet, jumped up, and pounced on the sharp arrow like a goshawk, firmly grasping the sharp arrow in his hand.

The next moment, his body fell to the ground and disappeared into the night.

"Chen Dong!" Zhang He's eyes were red, and he roared.

This Taiping army is the 100-man general who swore to be a hero before leaving.

He, did it!

Woohoo!

The rain of arrows is still continuous, and the screams are still endless.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army on the cliff saw Zhang He clinging to the vines and standing still, and couldn't help shouting urgently: "General, climb up quickly...... Ah......h

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier screamed again and was shot down.

Zhang He finally came back to his senses, let out a howl unwillingly, and continued to climb up quickly with his hands and feet.

Seeing that he was only a few feet away from the top of the cliff, Zhang He finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked down, and saw that there were less than 100 people left on the cliff, and he felt very sad in his heart.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, hurriedly used his hands and feet, rushed up, and then jumped up and fell lightly on the top of the cliff, and then exhaled in shock.

The screams and falls were still heard at the foot of the cliff.

Zhang He looked down the cliff for a while, then ran to a soldier who was about to climb to the top of the cliff, pulled him up to the top of the cliff with all his might, and then ran to another place.

Finally, all the soldiers who could make it up alive had climbed to the top of the cliff.

Zhang He let out a long breath. He stood on the top of the cliff, took off his helmet, let the night wind blow his hair flying, and bowed respectfully down the cliff three times.

Perhaps it was a fiasco that cleared his mind. Just as he was about to lead the army to retreat, a flash of inspiration moved in his mind: "Now that I am following the vine to attack the Liaodong camp, with Gongsun Du's heart, how can I not think of sneaking up this vine to attack Luguan?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang He's face changed greatly. Sweat trickled down his forehead again.

"If I were Gongsun Du, I would strike while the iron was hot, and I would attack in the second half of the night. Tonight is an excellent time, I have just been defeated and gone, my vigilance will be weak, and I have no heart to worry about the vines, how can Gongsun Du not strike while the iron is hot, lest the night be long and dreamy? ”

Thinking of this, Zhang He's face changed again, and he looked around. Xin said: "In the daytime, I have found out clearly, on both sides of the mountain road, only there are vines on the left, and there is nothing to climb on the cliff on the right. And the cliff on the left is not more than two or three miles long, and the back is the cliff vertically down, and there are only three places where the vines of this section of the cliff are luxuriant, and each place is not more than ten zhang long, but these vines are destroyed. It's better than staying here. ”

Immediately, he thought of the veterans of the Taiping Army who died tragically at the foot of the cliff just now, and his eyes showed a hideous look: "In this way, wouldn't the more than 200 Taiping Army soldiers lose their lives in vain?" Lao Tzu wants to return a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood. is worthy of the dead brother! ”

Zhang He had made up his mind with a plan, waved his hand at the remaining hundreds of veterans of the Taiping Army, and led the soldiers to disappear into the night.

*******************

The moon rose in the middle of the sky, and then slowly fell down.

There was a faint sound of change in the Liaodong camp under the mountain, and it was already four watches.

There was still silence under the cliffs next to the valley.

However, on the top of the cliff, there were five or six hundred Taiping soldiers standing densely, each carrying a bucket of fire oil in their hands. Among the crowd, one person was holding a meniscus long knife, standing with his head held high, and it was Zhang He who had gone and returned.

A Taiping army general yawned and asked in a low voice: "General, so more exposed, will this Gongsun Du still come?" ”

Zhang He glanced at the bottom of the cliff and said lightly: "Don't be impatient, what should come will definitely come." ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's coming!" ”

The faces of the soldiers changed slightly, and they all ran to the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottom of the cliff.

I saw a sudden fire at the bottom of the cliff, and then a long string of torches slowly walked along the bottom of the cliff, one of which went straight to a dense place of vines hundreds of meters away, and another long firelight rushed to the bottom of the cliff under their feet.

Then, someone began to feel the vines under their feet shaking slightly, and the shaking quickly spread, and gradually the whole vine-covered ground shook, and the more the shaking became more and more intense.

"Up!"

Zhang He waved his hand, and hundreds of Taiping soldiers immediately rushed forward, neatly lined up on the edge of the cliff to standby, each carrying a bulging leather bag in their hands, leaving only a dozen soldiers with torches still standing more than ten steps behind the cliff to avoid letting the Liaodong people see the fire.

Zhang He turned around and glanced at the two hundred generals beside him, pointed to the cliff hundreds of miles away, and said in a low voice: "Please take charge of the enemy troops over there, but when you see the horn sounding here, you immediately ordered to pour oil and light the fire." ”

These bulging skins are obviously filled with fire oil.

Two hundred people will hurry away as promised.

Time passed minute by minute, and all the soldiers held their breath, looking at Zhang He in unison, waiting for his order.

Zhang He stood quietly on the top of the cliff, not moving at all, his long hair flying with the night wind, and his eyes burned with a strong fighting spirit.

The vines under his feet shook more and more, and gradually he could hear the heavy ** sound of the Liaodong Army soldiers climbing the rock, and the expressions of the soldiers became more and more nervous.

Finally, the ** sound on the cliff wall is getting closer and closer, and it is estimated that it is only one or two meters away from the top of the cliff.

Zhang He finally waved his hand and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, on!" (To be continued.) )
