At noon, General Qiu's steps were steady, and at this time he had come out of the cave and was standing at the outpost of the Rising Sun Peak.

In front of the Rising Sun Village, is a deep cliff, bottomless, connecting the two sides, is a suspension bridge, at this time the suspension bridge has been pulled up, the suspension bridge is left and right, is to build two arrow towers built with stones.

The arrow tower is extremely high, standing on top of the arrow tower, condescending, you can see the far place outside.

At this time, the Rising Sun Village, in some conspicuous places, is all waving flags, blowing flags, hunting sounds, as if facing a great enemy, but also shows that it is ready to deal with.

General Qiu was standing at the top of the arrow tower at this time, and although he could see the ranks of officers and soldiers ten miles away, he was extremely conspicuous, and it was enough for people to see his movements on the tower.

The officers and soldiers were like ants, a piece of black pressure, facing the Rising Sun Village, at this time the officers and soldiers had stopped their pace, and did not continue to come to the cottage, the crowd was crowded, and the momentum was not small.

General Qiu looked at the dense crowd, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had even seen clearly that although the officers and soldiers brigade was still in place, there were a few figures who were secretly approaching the stockade under some cover, and he understood that they were spies of the officers and soldiers, and they wanted to get closer to see the situation on the stockade.

General Qiu stood generously on top of the arrow tower, deliberately letting the spies see his whereabouts clearly.

Chu Huan wanted to design the gourd village to be taken by the outside and the outside, knowing Chu Huan's tricks, General Qiu could just make a plan, he was standing in the arrow tower of the Rising Sun Peak at this time, and he was covered with flags in the Rising Sun Peak, which was the reason for the maze of the formation, so that the officers and soldiers thought that the village had made every effort to defend the Rising Sun Peak.

Chu Huan's conspiracy was to make the stockade think that the main target of the officers and soldiers was the Rising Sun Peak, so as to attack the east and the west to hit the Sunset Peak, General Qiu cooperated with the officers and soldiers to perform this scene, planted flags all over the Rising Sun Peak, and personally appeared in the arrow tower of the Rising Sun Peak, so that the officers and soldiers also mistakenly thought that the stockade had placed the defense center on the Rising Sun Peak, so that the officers and soldiers could attack the Sunset Peak with confidence.

General Qiu felt that he was reminded of a special situation, and his appearance was conspicuous, and the spies of the officers and soldiers must be able to see him, if they saw that General Qiu, the leader of the village, was still in the Rising Sun Peak, they would inevitably think that the main force of the gourd village had been deployed in the Rising Sun Peak.

On the side of Sunset Peak, Fu Gang had already erected a flag in a conspicuous position according to General Qiu's instructions.

This is the code of Chu Huan and Fu Gang's agreement, as soon as the flag is erected, it means that Fu Gang can already lead people to patrol at night and have the opportunity to open the stone gate.

If nothing else, the officers and soldiers will feint to attack Sunset Village tonight, but the main force will secretly arrive at the Sunset Peak, hoping that with the cooperation of Fu Gang, they will enter Sunset Village.

As soon as he thought of tonight's battle, the blood in General Qiu's body flowed rapidly.

Sunset Village has laid a net of heaven and earth, he mobilized most of the troops of the village, and ambushed in every dangerous place of Sunset Village, once the officers and soldiers rushed into the stone gate and entered the Sunset Village, they let them have no return.

Under the hunting battle flag, Chu Huan sat on a chair and looked at the Rising Sun Peak from afar.

This was the first time he had seen the Rising Sun Peak, but before he saw the Rising Sun Peak, he already had a general understanding of this gourd mountain range.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Hulu Mountain stretches for nearly 100 miles, and Chu Huan already knows the outline and environment of the periphery, but Chu Huan can't fully understand the specific situation of the six villages in the mountain.

But for the location of Liuzhai, he is already clear.

When Fu Gang drew the topographic map in order to save his life, he was still very careful, especially the road mechanism between Sunset Peak and Sunrise Peak, which was very detailed.

The strength of Huluzhai, according to Fu Gang's estimate, is at least more than 5,000 people, and it is guarded by the mountain, and 5,000 troops is really not small.

Chu Huan sent troops this time, mobilized 15,000 elite soldiers, and the four battalions of the Wind Forest Volcano trained by Pei Ji still went out this time.

The training of the Governor's Praetorian Guard was very smooth, and the commanders of the four major battalions were all personally pointed out by Chu Huan, especially the cavalry team of the Fengzi Battalion, which was expanded on the original Tiger Wing Cavalry, although the number of war horses was still far from enough, but the soldiers assigned to the Fengzi Battalion had to learn horse riding and combat under the conditions of limited war horse training.

In contrast, the training results of the archers of the Lin Zi Battalion of the wolf baby are the most significant.

There are many hunters in the northwest, and the expansion of the Lin Zi battalion is based on the hunters, the hunters themselves have archery skills, and some are even more powerful than the original archers.

This is the second time Chu Huan has led his troops to the battle.

In the previous expedition to attack Jinhe Erzhou, the soldiers who had been in the battle formation for a long time were not absolutely sure, but under the command of Chu Huan, they won both battles and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

This time in the attack on Huluzhai, the morale of the officers and soldiers was even higher.

The army is in full swing, and the whole army is waiting ten miles away from the opposite side of the main village of Hulu Mountain, and no one knows when Chu Huan will give the order to attack, but those soldiers who have participated in the encirclement and suppression of Hulu Mountain are a little worried.

Dongfang Xin once sent troops to attack Hulu Mountain twice for personal purposes.

At that time, the strength of Hulu Mountain was not even as good as now, and Dongfang Xin sent troops twice, and there were a lot of men and horses, but in the end, they were all defeated.

Many officers and men who participated in the two wars clearly remember that the first time the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress Huluzhai, the situation was almost exactly the same as now.

Dongfang Xin led the army to the foot of Huluzhai Mountain, and made a little repair, and the goal was the main village Rising Sun Village.

Before the battle, the officers and soldiers already knew that at the forefront of the Rising Sun Village was an extremely wide cliff, which was a moat, and if the suspension bridge could not be lowered, it would be difficult to attack the village.

Fortunately, the living will not be suffocated by urine.

After all, many of the soldiers are battle-hardened generals, and they can naturally come up with a way to attack the cottage.

Naturally, it was impossible for the mountain bandits' suspension bridge to be lowered, so the officers and men came up with their own ways to make roads.

They use a machine car to shoot out the iron chain with a sharp iron drill on the front end, and the iron drill can be shot into the opposite rock, and the iron drill can be connected on both sides to form an iron chain.

It's just that the manufacture of the machine car is extremely complicated, and the iron chains that are too heavy cannot be shot at all, so they can only shoot out the iron chains that are not too thick and embedded in the opposite rocks.

After that, the soldiers could only use such a steep chain to storm the past.

The mountain bandits are heavily armed on the opposite side, the arrows are like rain, many soldiers just climbed the chain, they were shot by the arrows, and fell into the abyss, even if there are brave soldiers who are lucky, climb to the opposite side, but they can't kill the other side at all, the mountain bandits use the spear, the spear is stabbed out, the soldiers are pierced into hedgehogs alive, and fall into the cliff.

At that station, the officers and men were completely at a disadvantage, with numerous casualties, and finally had to withdraw their troops.

Dongfang Xin's second army, and no longer attack the Rising Sun Peak, but turn to the defense of slightly weaker Qixia Peak, although Qixia Peak does not have such a moat, but if you want to enter the village, you must use the hanging basket, people sit in the hanging basket to go up the mountain, otherwise you have to face a high and steep cliff, climb up, such a cliff, only need the mountain bandits to guard it, it is difficult to attack, and as long as there is a few mistakes, you have to fall down from the cliff.

In the end, Dongfang Xin's two dispatches were both losses and defeats, and they returned in vain.

The soldiers who went through the two battles were on an expedition at this time, and when they saw the big suspension bridge suspended in the air in the Rising Sun Village, they had palpitations, and the tragic scene at the beginning once again surfaced in their hearts.

This time, Chu Huan also brought the kind of machine car stored by the Ministry of War, there is no doubt that Chu Huan can't think of a better way to attack the Rising Sun Village, and he still imitates the original method, using the machine car to shoot out iron chains, and artificially create iron chain roads.

Chu Huan looked calm and relaxed, looking at the suspension bridge from afar.

He knew that the existence of Hulu Village was a great threat to Xiguan, and Hulu Village had become a banner of Xiguan Liukou, and many rabble, under the blow of the government, were all pouring into Hulu Mountain.

Although there are only 5,000 people in Hulu Mountain, Chu Huan does not regard these more than 5,000 people as ordinary rogues.

Before Chu Huan went to Xiguan, the chaotic situation after the war in Xiguan had indeed been a wave of rogues, and these rogues had indeed posed a huge threat to Xiguan for a time.

It was also Chu Huan who took measures according to the times and issued the Juntian Order, which made many rogues become good citizens again.

Chu Huan knew very well that the reason why most of the rogues were looting everywhere, in the final analysis, was because they were not clothed and hungry, and they were forced by the situation, and they hoped to be ordinary people who lived and worked in peace and contentment.

After the implementation of the Juntian Order, the rogues who thought they were in chaos were indeed restless outlaws.

After the promulgation of the Juntian Order, some of the rogues still preferred to be bandits rather than farming, and many of them defected to Huluzhai and formed a powerful gang.

Most of these people are outlaws, if they are just outlaws, it would be fine, but Chu Huan has always suspected that General Qiu is from the pioneer battalion of the Northwest Army, and such a character must have a certain military quality.

General Qiu used his military literacy to lead this gang of outlaws, so these thousands of bandits could not be simply regarded as a rabble.

Chu Huan knew that the gourd village must be uprooted as soon as possible, Zhu Lingyue was eyeing Xiguan, Chu Huan knew that maybe one day an extremely powerful conflict would break out between the two realms, the so-called outside must first be at ease, before dealing with Zhu Lingyue, if the tumor of the gourd village was allowed to take root in his body, sooner or later it would cause a big disaster.

The afterglow of the sunset is sprinkled on the earth, the whole gourd mountain, bathed in the sunset, the whole mountain range appears very quiet, the scenery is beautiful, the soldiers on both sides know that this is the last tranquility before the war, it will not be long before the air, there will be a pungent smell of blood.
