Hua Meng felt that Mao Yong's suggestion was very good, he looked back at Diandian, and said with a solemn expression: "Deputy Diandian, I will take five hundred people up the mountain." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info You are stationed here with a large army, with the archers in front, bluffing, feigning a feint to distract the defenders. But don't take a step further. When we have fought, we will send out arrows into the sky, and then you will attack from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. ”

"Good!" Diandian agreed, and earnestly admonished Hua Meng, "Those beasts are too fierce, you must be more careful!" If the situation is not good, retreat here. ”

Hua Meng shook hands with Diandian and said goodbye.

More than 100 family members, as well as more than 400 soldiers who volunteered to participate, including Lao Chu, Zhan Nian, Gai Shida, Londo and others, under the leadership of Hua Meng and under the guidance of Mao Yong, passed through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, crossed several ditches between the dense forest and the mountain, climbed several hanging rocks, and quickly moved to the mountainside below the West Mountain.

Solo did not sign up for this attack on the mountainside, so Douqing did not participate, and Diandian and the 30,000 soldiers who remained at the bottom of the mountain also needed a few brave generals to lead.

From here, there is still a five-mile journey to the halfway up the mountain where the beast cage is placed. This section of the road is winding,

It is rugged and full of cliffs and steep walls, and the average person will not take this path. Xuandeng did not send anyone to guard it. He placed heavy troops only on the front and back of the mountain. He never thought that Mao Yong would explore this remote road up the mountain.

But for Mao Yong and others who climbed over the cliff of the Iron Horse Pass, this road can be regarded as a smooth road.

Half an hour later, I occasionally heard the low roar of a beast from the opposite mountain.

Mao Yong stopped, stood behind a big tree, pointed to the front and said, "That's where the Xuandeng Dao people shut down the beasts." ”

Hua Meng waved his hand behind him, and the people who followed him all stopped abruptly.

He stopped beside Mao Yong, and through the gaps between the heavy trees on the mountain, he could vaguely see many figures swaying between the mountains only four hundred paces away in a straight line, and occasionally he could see the figures of fierce beasts walking around in the iron cages, and even heard the low roar of fierce beasts in his ears.

Hua Meng turned his head to look at the surroundings carefully, and found that the place where they were standing was the top of a small mountain, about two hundred zhang high, and the top of the mountain was covered with thick trees. The place where the figures haunted the opposite mountainside was about the same height as here. But to get to the other side, you need to go down two or three hundred steps, and then go up another three or four hundred steps.

And the descending trail was exposed on the ridge, bare and uncovered, and if five hundred men passed through it together, it would not be possible not to be spotted by the soldiers on the opposite mountainside. If they shouted and caused the Xuandeng Dao people to use the beast control skill early to release the beast from the cage, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, you can't see the top of the mountain on the opposite side, and you probably can't see it from the top of the mountain on the opposite side

At the foot of the mountain on both sides of the mountain, there are two large camps, and there are countless soldiers coming and going in the camp, guarding the West Mountain where the Xuandeng Dao people practice.

"What we have to do at this moment is to rush to the opposite mountainside before the Xuandeng Dao people perform the beast control skill, and finish off the soldiers guarding the iron cage." Hua Meng pointed to the ridge path and said softly, "However, passing by the path on this ridge, it is easy to be spotted by the defenders on the opposite mountainside. We are not afraid of these thousand defenders. I'm afraid that they will shout and scream, causing the Xuandeng Dao people to perform beast control skills.

Mao Yong whispered: "There is still a way, do you want to try?" ”

"Another way?" Hua Meng asked puzzled. There was only one way in his eyes.

"There is still no way." Mao Yong said seriously.

"What kind of road is no road?" Hua Meng smiled lightly.

"To have no road is to rush from the mountains and forests where there is no road to the bottom of the mountain, and then from the bottom of the mountain to the opposite mountainside." Mao Yong stretched out his hand and pointed to the dense forest below the mountain, then pointed to the opposite mountainside, and then pointed to the enemy camp under the mountain, and said regretfully, "But then you must pass by the tens of thousands of garrisons below the mountain, and it is impossible not to be discovered by the defenders." ”

Hua Meng thought for a moment and said, "If it is found at the foot of the mountain, it may cause more trouble, because it seems that there are tens of thousands of defenders at the bottom of the mountain, and if you go down the mountain and go up the mountain, it will take more time, which is not conducive to a quick battle." ”

"If it is also discovered, it will cause trouble, and it can only be the lesser of two evils." Mao Yong said thoughtfully, "Passing through the ridge path, it takes a stick of incense to reach the opposite mountainside, which is at least half faster than going down to the foot of the mountain and going up, the disadvantage is that as soon as we get out of this forest, we will be discovered by the soldiers on the opposite mountainside." ”

"The defenders on the opposite side are only eight hundred, which is much less than the number at the foot of the mountain, and we were going to deal with them." Hua Meng groaned for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Just pass through the ridge path, but so many of us can't go through together, we need to divide into several groups, one by one, so that it will not attract their attention, and even if it attracts their attention, it will not arouse their vigilance." ”

"Yes!" Mao Yong agreed, "I will go with 20 people first, and if they find us and ask us questions, we will pretend to be woodcutters." As long as they don't reveal their identities and don't get into an argument with them, they shouldn't report to the Xuandeng Daoists. Then Ao Bao went with twenty more people, pretending to be a medicine collector; Then Hao Peng took twenty people over and pretended to be hunting; When we fight on the other side, you will rush over together. ”

"Good! That's it! Hua Meng nodded and said in a firm tone.

Mao Yong ordered Wu Biao Chaohu and other twelve family members, as a group, everyone randomly picked up a few dead branches from the ground and held them in their hands, on the one hand, to cover the weapons on their waists, and on the other hand, to make it look like a woodcutter.

Then they stooped and walked out from behind the trees and onto the trail on the ridge. Although they seemed to be faltering, they were definitely not slow to move, and they did not make a sound when they walked.

Maybe the soldiers on the mountainside can't see here? Mao Yong sped up with some luck. When they walked more than a hundred steps and were about to approach the mountain pass where the two mountains meet, suddenly the shouts of the soldiers came from behind the trees opposite: "This is a military important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”

"We are not idlers!" Mao Yong lifted a few branches in his hand and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "We went up the mountain to cut wood." As he spoke, he sped up his journey, and soon they reached the pass where the two mountains meet. (To be continued.) )
