Chapter 1203: A Sharp Blade in the Belly
At the front of the Rising Sun Peak suspension bridge, the mountain battalion was already on the edge of the cliff, looking like it was in full swing, and the mountain bandits on the side of the suspension bridge were once shocked by the lineup of the officers and soldiers, but soon, the tension in their hearts completely disappeared.
The abyssal moat is enough to ensure their safety, unless the officers and soldiers have wings and can fly over.
The dozens of mountain bandits stationed on the side of the suspension bridge also participated in the previous battle against the officers and soldiers, and in the battle of Rising Sun Peak, the officers and soldiers suffered countless casualties, and in the end, none of them were able to cross the cliff.
The battle in the past made the mountain bandits full of confidence.
When they saw the shield soldiers of the mountain battalion pulling open their mouths and pushing up more than a dozen huge machine cars from behind, the eyes of many mountain bandits suddenly showed disdain.
Of course, General Qiu did not inform these minions of the intentions of the officers and soldiers.
Although the bandits knew that General Qiu had transferred most of the main forces of Liuzhai to Sunset Peak, most of them did not know why.
Many people even wondered why General Qiu wanted to transfer the main force from the Rising Sun Peak to Sunset Peak?
But some people have already thought about it self-righteously, maybe General Qiu thinks that there is an abyssal moat on this side of the Rising Sun Village, and there is no need to deploy too many troops at all.
It's like the previous war, although the stockade gathered heavy troops in the Rising Sun Peak, but when the real fight started, the area on the side of the suspension bridge was too narrow, and it couldn't accommodate too many people.
Many mountain bandits remember that although there were a few casualties in the stockade that time, very few were killed by the officers and soldiers, except for some who died because they were hit by cold arrows, but many of them were squeezed to the cliff by their own people because the drawbridge was too crowded.
Although General Qiu transferred most of his troops from Rising Sun Peak, he still left more than 100 people here, except for some important strongholds left behind, and the minions left on the side of the suspension bridge have all had the experience of fighting with officers and soldiers before.
The peak master of Rising Sun Village is surnamed Quan, and he was left behind by General Qiu to guard the suspension bridge with his subordinates.
The minions don't know the end, but the master of the whole peak knows very well that the officers and soldiers attacking the Rising Sun Village are just bluffing, and their purpose is to sneak attack the Sunset Peak, so the pressure on this side will not be too great.
Rao is so, he is ready, on the side of the suspension bridge, prepared a large amount of defensive equipment, with the last confrontation, the people of Huluzhai know how to defend the suspension bridge more effectively, how to kill and injure officers and soldiers more effectively.
They've seen it.
When they first saw the machine car, they were also surprised, but later learned that although the officers and soldiers could artificially create iron chains to connect the two sides, they wanted to attack Sunset Peak, but it was whimsical.
The officers and soldiers set up the machine cars, but they did not immediately shoot out the iron chains as the mountain bandits thought, and although the war drums were still rumbling, the officers and soldiers did not immediately attack the Rising Sun Village.
……
……
Qiu Ruxue clung to the rock wall, and it was much harder for him to climb the cliff than others.
He only had one arm left, wearing an iron hook in his hand, and each time he stretched his arm to the highest, hooked the iron hook to the rock wall, and then used his arm to meet it, and found a suitable foothold, after half bending his body, he slowly stabilized his body, slowly stood up, and his whole body was attached to the rock wall, and when his body was completely straight, he then found a suitable place, and reached out to hook it with an iron hook.
His expression was grim, but his eyes were resolute.
The others are like ghosts, wearing iron hooks in their hands, silently climbing upward, many people see Qiu Rublood, every time they see his body upward to meet him, they are sweating for him.
Everyone knows, not to mention the one-handed rock climbing, these hands are full of hands as long as there is a slight negligence, a careless, will fall from the rock wall, even if the lake is below, the impact at that time is enough to crack people's internal organs, after falling, nine deaths.
Qiu Ruxue's forehead was already full of sweat, and it was a little cool in the middle of the night, but almost everyone was already covered with sweat.
The double consumption of physical strength and spirit makes everyone sweat on their backs.
"Whoa!"
There was a sound of rubble, Qiu Ruxue immediately heard someone beside him exclaim, he was taken aback, the gravel fell from above, and when he looked up, he had already seen a figure falling down like his head at the same time.
Qiu Ru was horrified in his heart, and saw that the man was about to fall from the middle of the cliff, and he died for a lifetime, when he suddenly saw that the person's body was suddenly stunned, and then he still slid down.
His eyes were sharp, but he could see clearly, and at the last moment, one of his companions reached out and grabbed the man who had fallen from above, but the impact still carried the two of them down.
The hook that was originally hooked to the rock wall slid down the rock wall under the force of the impact.
Of course, these people who Qiu Ruxue found were not ordinary people, the people who fell from above reacted instantly, he struggled to hook the rock wall with both hands, and went deep into it, so as to stabilize his body, both of them were hanging in the void, and they were tentatively under their feet, and finally found a foothold.
After turning the crisis into safety, all those who saw this scene were shocked and relieved.
Qiu Ruxue is not only worried about the tragic death of his companion, but also worried about the sound of his companion after falling into the water, at this time it is the dead of night, falling into the lake from a high altitude, it will inevitably make a lot of movement, once it is discovered by the mountain bandits guarding the back mountain, the consequences are unimaginable.
Everyone stabilized their minds, and the two of them looked at Qiu Ruxue by the moonlight, Qiu Ruxue nodded to them, and everyone no longer hesitated.
In a stone pavilion on Sunset Peak, General Qiu was calmly sipping tea, and at this time he was condescending, and he could clearly see the stone wall below, as long as there was any condition on the other side of the wall, it could be seen at a glance here.
The moonlight was quiet, and there was silence all around.
General Qiu was not in a hurry, but Lord Zhao Feng of Sunset Peak was a little anxious in his heart, General Qiu saw it in his eyes, and asked lightly: "What is Lord Zhao Feng thinking?" ”
Lord Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously: "General, my subordinates are thinking, have the officers and soldiers reached the foot of Sunset Peak?" ”
"Those who should come will always come, don't be in a hurry."
"But there's no movement on the Rising Sun Peak." Lord Zhao Feng frowned and said, "The official army seems to be waiting for something." ”
General Qiu smiled faintly: "The drawbridge is pulled up, how can they attack?" There is a lesson from the past, and even if they attack, it will only increase casualties. On the side of Rising Sun Peak, it was a feint, and of course they didn't want to lose their troops over there. ”
Lord Zhao Feng reluctantly smiled and said, "The general is wise. ”
At this moment, a person rushed over and said, "General, the attack over there has begun......!" ”
General Qiu Huo Ran got up, walked quickly out of the pavilion, and walked down a path to the edge of a high tower, which was a wooden tower for lookout.
General Qiu climbed the wooden tower, condescending, although the distance was a little far, but the fire was bright there, like daylight, but he had already seen that the machine car of the Chu army had finally launched the iron chain, and more than ten iron chains had connected the two sides of the cliff.
General Qiu clenched his hands into fists.
Lord Zhao Feng on the side couldn't help but ask softly: "General, do you need to transfer some people to reinforce it, look at it, it seems that the official army is really going to attack Sunset Village!" ”
General Qiu glanced at Lord Zhao Feng and said lightly: "Are you doubting the general's arrangement?" ”
Lord Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with horror, and he hurriedly said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”
The Rising Sun Village is the main village of the gourd village, the roads are intertwined, many roads are equipped with sentry posts, although the Hulu village is well defended, but inside the village, General Qiu is still cautious, the sentry post set up on the road on weekdays, there are people guarding day and night, the minions of each village, unless they get the order, they must not easily cross the line, just like the minions of the sunset village, if they do not get the transfer from above, they venture into the boundaries of other villages, once they are arrested, they will be punished for the crime of spies, and the punishment of the two gourd villages for the spies will be killed.
However, this time, in order to set up an ambush for the officers and soldiers, each village has withdrawn a large number of manpower, and except for some extremely important checkpoints, many of which are empty.
The jungle is thick, and a ghostly team is moving forward rapidly.
Qiu Ruxue now only feels that there is nothing to do in the world, before climbing, he had planned for the worst, and even thought that he might fall off the cliff and die before he climbed the cliff.
But this time it was surprisingly smooth.
Although there was indeed an accident in the middle, in the end, there were no casualties, and everyone climbed the cliff unscathed.
Although everyone had consumed a lot of physical strength, the thought that they were able to conquer the towering cliff felt as if they had defeated an enemy who was much stronger than themselves.
It's just that they didn't have much time to reminisce about the thrill of rock climbing just now, so everyone cleaned up a little, and then under the leadership of Qiu Ruxue, they went deep into the depths of the Rising Sun Village.
Qiu Ruxue seemed to be quite familiar with the terrain of Rising Sun Village, and although he thought briefly at several forks in the road, he quickly made a choice.
"There's someone at that checkpoint up ahead!" Zhu Qingye followed Qiu Ruxue's side, and everyone's footsteps were very light, and they saw another sentry post in front of them from a distance. It's at a three-way intersection.
Everyone was looking for a place to cover and hide their tracks at the first time, Qiu Ruxue flashed behind a big tree, poked his head out, observed carefully for a moment, and soon made a gesture.
He had seen clearly that there were four minions at that checkpoint, and that he had already encountered two checkpoints before, and that they were unguarded, and that this was the first guarded checkpoint he had encountered.
Qiu Ruxue made a few gestures, several people had already separated from the left and right, bypassing from both sides, Qiu Ruxue waited for a moment, his figure flashed, and he had flashed out from behind the big tree, and he walked towards the sentry card with a single sword.
