Chapter 728: The Wind Rises on Lianshan Island (1)

In the middle of the night, there is no moon and the clouds are very thick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 On the sea, the Southern Army fleet, which had anchored more than ten miles away from Lianshan Island, was brightly lit, reflecting the flames of Lianshan Island, and both tigers stretched out their claws, ready to pounce on their opponents at any time.

From the shadow of the light on one side, more than a dozen small boats rowed silently out of the vast fleet, each loaded with soldiers. Far away from the light, oars reach into the water, gently paddle through the waves, and sprint forward.

Hu Bin glanced at the fleet that was drifting away from him with nostalgia, and once he went, it would be goodbye, and the possibility of his return was extremely low, whether he succeeded or not.

Turning his head, he thought ruthlessly, the matter has come to this, and there is only one heart, since the head is a knife, and the head is also a knife, why not die bravely, if you can really get things done, when Lianshan Island is breached, they will not erase their own merits, they can't get it, and the wives and children at home can still enjoy it.

Hu Bin left a suicide note before leaving. And Zhong Xiang's farewell words when he left were more like a promise.

He selected 200 dead soldiers, each of whom was a famous figure in the army, and with such a team, it may not be impossible to succeed.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the opponent, the boat traveled very slowly, and it took several hours before they came to the steepest side of Lianshan Island, standing under the cliff, looking up, the almost straight cliff made people feel an inexplicable oppression, as Zhong Xiang said, this place has lasted for a long time, although the cliff is steep, but it is covered with vines, and the branches and forks of small trees grow on it, under the night, like the devil's outstretched arm.

The boat was carefully hidden in some hidden caves at the bottom of the cliff, which had been washed by the sea over the years, and sunken inward, some of them more than ten meters deep. A large number of vines hung down from the cliff face, and these holes were so tightly hidden that it was impossible to find them without personally probing them carefully.

Now all we have to do is to find out if there are any enemy posts on the cliff. If there is, the first step must be to remove it, otherwise everything is empty talk.

"Pershing Pan Hong!" Hu Bin shouted.

"What does General Hu command?" Two tough men came up, this Pan family brother came from the Jianghu gang, and his martial arts were outstanding, and he was the best in this group of people.

"It's about two hours before dawn, are you sure you can climb up?" Hu Bin asked.

The two nodded.

"Okay, the two of you go up first, check the details above, if there is an opponent's outpost, the two of you will lurk down first, don't touch them for the time being, wait for a day, and then do it after dark, you must clean them up quietly." If not, hang down the rope and we go up. ”

"Yes!"

The two men nodded, stood up, tightened their clothes, slung a long roll of rope on their shoulders, saluted Hu Bin, and turned around.

"Be careful!" Hu Bin said.

"Thank you for your concern, we will take care of it."

The two of them walked to the cliff, stretched out their hands and dragged the vines, tested the strength of the vines, nodded, stretched out their fists, the two of them touched, grabbed the vines, and climbed up like apes.

Seeing the two of them slowly blur in their eyes and gradually disappear, Hu Bin returned to his hiding place, arranged a sentry on duty, and then ordered everyone else to sleep immediately, there was no rest all night today, everyone was nervous, if everything went well, the next step was to climb the cliff up to 100 meters, which was a big test of everyone's physical strength, without abundant physical fitness, it was impossible to complete.

This work is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, and the work of exploring the road first is more difficult, although there are vines and branches on the cliff, let alone at night, even during the day, you can clearly distinguish which one is strong, and that one implies danger, maybe the thickest one you touch, thinking that it is the best, but as soon as you use the force, you will find that he suddenly falls apart and breaks. When you touch a protruding rock in your hand, it collapses abruptly when you just exert your strength, even if you don't fall down quickly, but the falling gravel will hit you with a blue nose and swollen face.

The first few tens of meters Pershing Pan Hong was quite smooth sailing, but after reaching a height of 50 meters, it gradually became difficult, the more upward, the less and less places that could be borrowed, some places were simply smooth and there was no place to borrow, they had to move sideways on the cliff wall, looking for a place to climb upward, without the shelter of branches and vines, subjected to the sun and night dew, the rocks that were blown by the wind and rain were weathered very badly, and with a little force, they would fall off with a bang.

But the most uncomfortable thing for them is the wind, after climbing dozens of meters, the sea breeze becomes more violent, even if the two of them are close to the cliff, they always feel that they will be blown away by the wind at any time. The two had to slow down, pull out their short knives, and dig small holes in the weathered rock wall, slowly squirming upward.

The sky is slowly brightening, different from in the inland, the time from the slight light to the Ming Dynasty here is particularly short, when a round of red sun jumps out from the sea level, shoots out ten thousand golden lights, reflected on the sea, Perxing Pan Hong and the two are more than ten meters away from the top of the cliff, Hu Bin looked up from under the cliff, and couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat, at this time the two people pulled vines in their hands, and were blown by the wind, just like two paper kites, if there is a post on the top of the cliff, there are soldiers, just a probe, you can see the two, The two in the air have no second way to go except to poke their necks.

Hu Bin clasped his hands together and kept praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.

At this time, the two brothers of the Pan family were really exhausted, and in the end, although there were only more than ten meters left, these more than ten meters were like a moat, and their bodies were extremely sore, and every step forward seemed to empty the strength of their whole body.

Step by step, step by step, the last ten meters, the two of them spent almost an hour, finally, Pershing's head poked out from under the cliff, on the top of the shore, there were rocks, and the half-human deep weeds blocked the view tightly, to his surprise, he did not see the watchtower or anything like that, nor did he hear any human voice, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

With a hard pull on the tangled vines in his hand, and the small pit dug by his toes sharply, with a whoosh, Pershing sprang out and jumped to the top of the cliff, he immediately fell to the ground, climbed a few steps forward in the grass, pushed aside the weeds, and showed two eyes from the gaps in the grass, and looked around vigilantly, empty, only not far away, a foraging hare stared at a pair of red eyes, looking at this uninvited guest, Pershing moved slightly, the hare snorted, and ran into the grass, without a trace.

Pershing let out a sigh of relief and turned back to the edge of the cliff, only to find that Pan Hong had not yet come up, and poked his head out, but saw his brother's face flushed, and he was barely able to wrap the vines around his waist, and he was unable to take this last step.

Frightened, Pershing immediately grabbed the vine, three times five divided by two to pull Pan Hong up from under the cliff, when his feet stepped on the strength, Pan Hong's whole person softened, lying on his back in the grass, breathing in a big gulp.

"Brother, I almost fell!" Wheezing, Pan Hong said with palpitations.

"Finally came up, we are lucky, there is no one on here, the other party is very secret, there is no outpost here, maybe I didn't expect someone to climb up from here!" Pershing Road. "Have you evened out your breath?"

"Almost!" Pan Hong got up, moved his wrist at the waist of the cat, and pulled the rope from his body, "Put it down?" ”

Pershing nodded, "General Hu said that if there is no one on it, drop the rope and let them come up." As long as there is no outpost on this top, and the other party has no patrol boat on the sea, how can he find that there are people climbing this cliff on the back? ”

The two tied one end of the rope firmly to the boulder at the top of the cliff and lowered it.

Seeing the rope falling from the top of the cliff with a loud bang, Hu Bin couldn't help but be overjoyed and said loudly: "Brothers, the Pan brothers have succeeded, now it's our turn, who will go up first?" ”

With the rope, there are people on it, of course, the difficulty is greatly reduced, when even if two people come out, they are also carrying the rope diagonally, "Let's go first." "Climb the rope and crawl forward.

Half an hour later, two more ropes hung down from above, Hu Bin's face was happy, he tightened his clothes, and said: "This time I will go up, you guys listen, the last wave will hang our armor and weapons first." ”

Time passed little by little, more and more soldiers climbed the cliff, Hu Bin stood on the top of the mountain, looked down, above the sea in the distance, the Southern Army Naval Division was launching a new round of attack, countless soldiers rushed to the beach, rushed onto the beach, holding shields, brandishing knives and guns, were rushing forward, in the sky, arrows were like rain, stones were like flying locusts, Lianshan Island began to mainly attack the soldiers who rushed ashore, which made some of the main battleships of the Southern Army Naval Division sail closer to the shore, desperately firing stone cannons, suppressing the firepower on the shore, The unique whistling sound of the Eight Ox Crossbow came and went, and the deafening shouts were heard clearly even in their place.

Hu Bin shook his head, there are too few soldiers who suddenly came ashore, only more than a thousand people, at this time can run through that section of the beach, dodge trebuchets, ballistas, etc. The striking soldiers can only hide under the breakwater, without climbing tools, it is impossible to climb the slippery breakwater up to more than zhang, and once the follow-up is weak, these people have to retreat, and there will be a new round of death threat, the dozens of meters of beach are completely under the blow of the other party, and there is no place to dodge.

It's hard to break through the opponent's defense line with this style of play, no wonder Zhong Xiang would come up with such a note, it seems that he has pinned his hopes on himself. Hu Bin smiled bitterly, and when he looked back, all his subordinates had already climbed up and were hurriedly putting the armor on their bodies, Zhong Xiang was not stingy at this point, his subordinates were indeed wearing the best armor and the sharpest weapons.

"From now on, everyone will treat themselves as a dead man, there is no turning back!" Hu Bin walked to the edge of the cliff, waved his waist knife, cut off the ropes tied to the boulder one by one, and let it fall off the cliff, and the faces of the two hundred daredevils all changed color.

"Let's go!"
