Chaoyang Mountain is indeed very large and very high. ◎ Smart kids remember to play super fast hand update 

In addition to Chaoyang Valley, there are countless valleys, with mountains on the side, undulating mountains, and a verdant patch.

Therefore, several armies immediately went up the mountain, and there was a lot of movement, but the thieves on the mountain may not be alert.

A big eagle hovers and soars proudly on a mountain range, and as the sun sets in the west, the mountain birds and beasts in the forest also begin to be active, and the crisp birdsong comes and goes, echoing each other, and the squeaky insects whine, and they are like a rush. Occasionally, a tiger roar echoes in the mountains, shocking people's hearts.

The special sergeant of the mountains and forests who led the way for Zhao Yun was called Lin Bai. He was originally from Zhaoguo County, Jizhou, and was an excellent hunter in a small village on the edge of the Taihang Mountains. When Liu Yi fought against the Montenegrin army in Julu, he was one of the civilian soldiers who were temporarily recruited. At that time, his village had already been slaughtered by thieves, and he was the only one left in Julu County, and then he met at his meeting, knowing that Liu Yi recruited the people to form an army to resist the invading Black Mountain thieves, he was obliged to join the army, and after defeating the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army later, he insisted on following Liu Yi. From the battle between Liu Yi and the Black Mountain Thieves, he saw the hope of avenging his family and fellow villagers, and he was alone, except for revenge, he had no faith to let him live.

Later, he was favored by Meng Ke and recruited into the mountain and forest special operations army.

After Zhao Yun talked to him, he learned that this Lin Bai and he were also fellow countrymen, and everyone had almost the same experience, so they were naturally a little closer to him. If it weren't for Lin Bai's reluctance to leave the special operations army in the mountains and forests now, Zhao Yundu would have asked Meng Ke and Meng'er to come over and make him his personal general.

Watching Lin Bai in the forest like an ape, jumping and jumping, appearing and disappearing, often leaving no traces where he passed. Zhao Yun also admired these sergeants of special operations in the mountains and forests, he was a first-class master who could walk through the mountains and forests without leaving a trace, but these were not even ordinary sergeants who were third-rate masters. It's really not easy to do it so extremely. This also made Zhao Yun feel that it was really good, and different classes of troops would have their own specialties. The battles that are suitable for some specific environments are also shocked by the foresight of the lord Liu Yi. From it, I also saw that what Liu Yi planned was not small, and in the future, it would never be a thing in the pool.

When he reached the edge of a mountain range, Lin Bai suddenly jumped out of the forest and made a silent gesture to the soldiers behind Zhao Yun.

He walked to Zhao Yun's side. He said softly: "General Zhao, this is the Tiezui Ridge of Chaoyang Mountain, and on the other side of the mountain range, there are more than 1,000 thieves guarding the mountain."

"It's finally here, the order goes down, and the sergeant has something to eat. Rest for a while before attacking. Zhao Yun immediately ordered.

Tiezuiling, from a distance, looks like a fierce beast lying on Chaoyang Mountain. The beast's mouth is facing the Chaoyang Valley, making a gesture of pounce, and the mountain people in the nearby area call this ridge the head of the iron mouth.

After Zhao Yun finished giving the order, he said to Lin Bai kindly: "Brother Lin, you can also rest for a while."

Lin Bai is an honest man, he smiled innocently, shook his head and said: "I'm not tired, there are traps laid by thieves in front." I'm going to sabotage first, lest we'll hurt my brothers when we attack. ”

"Oh? I'll go with you to see what traps the bandits have laid. Zhao Yun got up curiously.

"Okay, the general will just follow me in a while, don't trespass" Lin Bai nodded, waved his hand, and burrowed into the dense forest again.

The bandits guard the mountains around Chaoyang Valley. Naturally, they were also on guard against officers and soldiers attacking the valley from between the mountain walls of Chaoyang Valley. However, the bandits did not operate these mountains as important strongholds, and they only built a lot of wooden houses and thatched houses on top of the mountains as camps and garrisons, and around the wooden houses and thatched houses, they didn't even bother to get simple wooden fences, so there was no so-called stone-walled cottage.

There is no cottage, so the thieves are full of traps around this Tiezui Ridge to prevent officers and soldiers from sneaking in.

If Zhao Yun wants to attack and kill these bandits, he only needs to destroy a passage that can be killed on the mountain, and he doesn't need to destroy all the traps around Tiezui Ridge.

Zhao Yun used his luck and followed Lin Bai closely.

Suddenly, Lin Bai suddenly raised his hand and stopped, signaling Zhao Yun, who was following, not to move.

Zhao Yun felt a little strange, because, there didn't seem to be any danger in front of him, just a few big trees, and the ground was covered with some thorns and vines, at a glance, it seemed that no one had walked at all, no one had ever come, how could there be a trap?

I saw Lin Bai turn his head and grin at Zhao Yun, revealing a row of white teeth, he lowered his voice a little and said: "General Zhao, there may be old hunters among these bandits, and the traps they make are very hidden and powerful. Don't look at the natural situation here, there is no sign of a trap, but you come and take a look. ”

As he spoke, he squatted down slightly, and then gently brushed away a piece of green grass.

Zhao Yun walked to his side and looked, he couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that there was a big pit in front of him, which was covered by the naturally growing grass, if he didn't pay attention, he would definitely step into it and fall into the big pit, and inside, it was full of sharpened dense mangosteens, as long as people and animals fell, they would definitely be killed by those mangosteens through their bodies.

"Not only that, but the mountain vines in this place are all tied in slipknots by the thieves, and once someone steps on it and touches the mechanism, they will be hanged by the mountain vines. In addition, you see ......" Lin Bai pointed to the dense leaves on the top of the nearby tree and said: "There are also many flying spears set up on it, hidden in the branches and leaves, and if the mechanism is touched underground, the scarlet spears will fly out and stab the person who is hanged to death."

When Zhao Yun heard this, as Lin Bai's finger pointed, he really saw the iron tip of the flying spear that seemed to be shining with cold light hidden among the branches and leaves.

"Amazing, if our soldiers don't know, when we come here, there will definitely be young sergeants who will be killed by traps, and I am afraid that many people will be killed and injured." Zhao Yun said with a little palpitation.

"Hehe, these are all trivial, in the mountains and forests, nothing is impossible, as long as you are intentionally arranged, you can get any kind of vicious traps, Meng Ke and Meng Ding are the leaders, they can easily arrange traps in the forest, which makes people unguardable."

"So powerful? No wonder the lord Liu Yi said that you are the king of mountain and forest warfare. Zhao Yun secretly remembered what he had seen today, and warned himself that he would fight in the mountains and forests in the future. Beware of such pitfalls.

"Alas, the hunters in our mountains originally only used some traps to hunt some large beasts, and they were generally not used to harm people. In the words of the old man in our family, there are mountain gods in the mountains, if you use some traps to harm people, you will suffer retribution, these bandits are also hateful, and they actually set such harmful traps in the mountains, in case there are mountain people who go up the mountain to chop wood or collect mountain goods when they pass through these places, they will definitely be killed. Lin Bai looked a little angry.

"There must be retribution, don't let go of any of the thieves on this mountain." Zhao Yun also showed a look of resentment.

Lin Bai clenched his fists, nodded, and began to destroy these traps, and after a while, he destroyed all the traps, and got a total of more than a hundred flying spears from the trees.

What made Zhao Yun even angrier. Part of this scarlet spear is the poison of some mountain vines, and the throat is sealed with blood. Just be shot by this scarlet spear. Even if you scratch a little skin, you can't hope to live.

From Sergeant Zhao Yun's ambush to the head of the Iron Mouth Ridge, it was actually only a few hundred steps away, but there were dozens of traps, almost killing step by step.

There were pits, flying spears, rows of pointed bamboos, and some large trees with thorns like cages on the tops. When it touches the mechanism, it will fall from top to bottom, nailing the person below to the ground.

Lin Bai silently removed all the destruction of the traps along the way, and at this time, the sky was already full of sunshine, and the sun was about to completely set.

Zhao Yun immediately ordered the sergeant to attack. Because it was really dark, it was not conducive to the battle, because the terrain was definitely not as familiar as the thieves guarding here, and it was dark at night, which was not conducive to pursuit, besides, seeing so many traps arranged by the bandits, Zhao Yun did not dare to order the sergeant to pursue the thieves overnight. So, it's best to get rid of the thieves before it gets dark.

If there were no days when the officers and soldiers attacked them, they only needed to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and they did not have to work at sunrise and rest at sunset like the common people. The life of the bandits is leisurely and boring, and they have nothing to do all day long.

The thieves of Tiezuiling, they also found that this time Chaoyang Mountain was much more lively than before, the birds in the mountains and forests kept flying, and faintly, they could hear one or two chopping sounds.

However, they really didn't have too high vigilance, and they didn't expect that officers and soldiers would sneak up the mountain to attack them. They also thought that it was estimated that some wild beasts in the mountains and forests were predating, and some mountain people went up the mountain to collect mountain goods. So, they are still the same, and they do what they have to do.

Cabins and thatched huts, or a dozen or twenty thieves gathered together, either eating and drinking, gambling together, or laughing, or someone who had nothing to do, was doing something they thought was interesting.

Anyway, in the days of the bandits, there is really nothing to do, and they are all idle.

At the head of the ridge on Tiezui Ridge, there is a rock road about dozens of steps away, as long as the thieves hold here, it will be difficult for Zhao Yun to attack and kill it for a while. However, the vigilance of the thieves was too low, and the thieves who stood guard and stood guard, they were all lying on some smooth boulders basking in the sun, and during this period of time before the sun went down, they were neither hot nor cold, and they were so comfortable that they didn't bother to move.

At a distance of dozens of paces, if they dodge, the bow and arrow will not be able to shoot them, but if they are exposed to the smooth stone, then they will blame their own fate.

Zhao Yun gave an order, and hundreds of sergeants released their arrows together, and the sound of the collapsing bowstring suddenly sounded in the mountains.

At the same time, the arrows pierced through the air with a sound like a baby's whining, whirring over the unaware thieves.

"Ahh......hh

When they were surprised that there was a strange sound, the thieves opened their eyes wide and looked at it, but they saw countless bows and arrows suddenly stabbing down from the air, and the dense arrows made them frightened to the limit at once, and they didn't even have time to move their bodies, they saw the arrows dilate in their pupils, and suddenly pierced into their bodies with great force, and only in severe pain, let out a sharp scream.

"Kill" Zhao Yun jumped and rushed through this piece of rock road first.

"Kill"

Although the sergeants drilled the mountains and forests for most of the day, everyone was a little tired, and their bodies were also wet, and many of the sergeants were scratched and scratched by the thorns in the forest, but at this moment, everyone was excited and cheered in unison. Follow Zhao Yun to kill up the mountain.

The screams and shouts of killing echoed in the mountains, and finally alarmed the thieves on the mountain.

Sharp-eyed thieves. Seeing Zhao Yun, who was in the lead, he shot out, and several thieves who were still stunned were knocked out of the cliff, they all panicked and shouted in horror.

"Enemy Attack, Enemy Attack"

"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, and the officers and soldiers are coming......"

……

Tiezui Ridge, there is only one mountain road that Zhao Yun attacked and killed. They had nowhere to escape from the ridge but to flee from the mountain wall back to the Chaoyang Valley, but how could they go down from the steep wall in this short time? Moreover, I have already discovered that here you can go up and down from the mountain wall to the forest cypress of Chaoyang Valley, and go up to Tiezuiling. Then Zhang's army occupied the upper and lower parts of the mountain road.

The thieves on the mountain were just running around in a panic, just for a while. After many thieves were forced to roll off the cliff and die, they finally threw away their weapons crying and crawled on the ground to forgive under the fierce attack of Zhao Yun and others.

Zhao Yun finally failed to kill all these bandit soldiers with hatred, more than 1,000 thief soldiers, captured 6 or 700 people, and only killed 300 people.

Standing at the head of Tiezuiling, you can see the whole picture of Chaoyang Valley.

I saw that the valley was four or five miles wide (two or three square kilometers), and it was a flat-bottomed valley in the middle of the valley. Seventy or eighty thousand thieves were concentrated, and there were dense grass huts and tents.

As Mencius said, the valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are some cliffs that are difficult to climb, and the valley is two or three or ten zhang (that is, hundreds of meters high) from the top of the mountain wall. Jedi in the truest sense of the word, indeed. It is also a pity that the bandits thought of stationing troops here, maybe they thought that there would be no officers and soldiers entering the mountains to attack them.

As long as the bundled firewood is thrown down from the top, it can indeed be thrown to the bottom of the valley, although the valley bottom is open, but the mountains and forests on the mountain are inexhaustible, as long as the firewood is constantly thrown from the mountain, it is enough for the thieves in the valley to eat a pot.

The sun had gone down and it was getting dark.

Zhao Yun saw that around the top wall of Chaoyang Valley, several fireworks were lit, which was a signal from the Meng'er that they had captured the bandit stronghold on the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun also ordered someone to light a fire and express to them that he was also in place.

Of course, there are more than these bandit soldiers on the mountain, but Zhao Yun doesn't plan to really wipe out all those bandits, because occupying these places and throwing firewood down from these places is also enough to make the thieves at the bottom of the valley below surrender.

Occupy the bandit stronghold on the mountain, as long as the grease is sufficient, you can start to smoke the bandits below.

Besides, the valley bottom below was open, and even if the firewood was thrown down, it might not make the smoke spread across the valley all at once, so Zhao Yun issued an order and immediately began to prepare for action.

The six or seven hundred thieves who were captured could come in handy.

Zhao Yun sent sergeants to watch them overnight and let them start chopping wood. In the mountains, piles of fires were lit to make the night as day, and the captives cut wood within the range of the fire, and if there was any change, they would be killed.

After Zhao Yun killed more than a dozen thieves who wanted to sabotage and take the opportunity to escape, the captives were honest and began to chop wood desperately.

Zhao Yun poured a bundle of firewood and grass tied with mountain vines, poured grease, and tried to ignite it, sure enough, although it was not as flammable as dry firewood, it could be ignited. And, after igniting it, it will indeed produce pungent smoke as Meng'er said about you.

After the test, Zhao Yunming ordered the sergeant to start throwing the lit firewood into the Chaoyang Valley.

At the same time, the Mons also began to act, throwing bundles of firewood emitting pungent smoke into the Chaoyang Valley.

Suddenly, the thieves at the bottom of the valley below began to panic.

In fact, when they were attacked by Zhao Yun and others on the top of the mountain wall of Chaoyang Valley, they already knew about it, and they began to panic.

It's just that they are at the bottom of the valley, dozens of feet high from the top of the mountain wall, and it is impossible to climb up and regain the stronghold on the mountain.

The corpse of a thief soldier who fell from above and fell to pieces also made them look shocked. It had already shocked their hearts. The thieves were all worried that the top of the mountain wall of Chaoyang Valley was occupied by officers and soldiers, and there was an army of Gongsun Chan at the mouth of the valley, and they were all worried about whether they could still hold the valley. They were all worried about how the officers and soldiers would deal with them.

At first, they did not expect that the officers and soldiers would adopt such a method, and they were all preparing how to deal with the officers and soldiers coming down from the top of the mountain wall. Of course, even if they thought about it, they only thought that the officers and soldiers on the mountain would at most throw down big rocks and wooden things, and in order to guard against high-altitude projectiles, they all stayed away from the bottom of the valley wall and concentrated in the zhōngyāng area at the bottom of the valley, so that they could avoid the attack of high-altitude projectiles.

Throwing objects in the air is indeed difficult to throw to the place where they camp, but bundles of firewood smoke are different, the smoke can be diffused, in this valley that is equal to the seal, Zhao Yun has already seen when he captured Tiezuiling, the smoke produced by the fire below to make rice is indeed not so easy to dissipate, so, the smoke from the firewood, it will not take long for you to fill the entire Chaoyang Valley, from above, you can no longer see the bottom of the valley, just you can see a white expanse, from the bottom of the valley smoke floating up, It smells a little pungent on the top of the valley.

This time the smoke attack, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but think badly, I don't know if the thief who has been smoked overnight can hold on all night? (To be continued......)
