Xun Yu said: "'Moon Star Rhino Black Magpie Flying South', this lieutenant's poem also, although there is no black magpie flying south tonight, but the moon is bright, but it reduces some of the difficulties of our department to attack the mountain."

The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and it is difficult to attack at night, and it will be even more difficult to attack on a cloudy night, and you can't see your fingers

Li Xuan looked up at the winding mountain road, the light of the guards on the mountainside, and muttered, "It would be nice if Zilong and Ah Bao were there."

Among the people under Wen Chou's command, Zhao Yun is brave and powerful, Chen Bao is stable and cautious, Li Xuan and him are both from Xixiang, they have known each other for a long time, and they know each other's roots

Chen Bao followed Xun Cheng back to Changshan, not to mention that he was not as good as Zhao Yun, Wen Chou thought about bringing him with him this time, but although it was important to attack Huang Beard, it was even more important to defend the Yuan clan, and these people under Wen Chou, such as Li Dian, Dong Zhi, Liu Qing, Zhao Yun, etc., were either not as brave as Zhao Yun, or not as calm as Zhao Yun, or not as prestige as Zhao Yun, thinking about it, but they could only leave him in the Yuan family

At the second moment of the third watch, Dong Zhiqin led people to sneak to arrest the sentry sent down the mountain by Huang Yan

There were three sentry agents left, two of them were killed by mistake, one was captured, and they were sent to Wen Chou Here Wen Chou ordered Yuan Shirong to interrogate him, this sentry was very hard-mouthed, but he didn't get any useful information, so he simply killed him

At the third watch, Guo Jia and Xu Rong led the Bentun soldiers out of the valley first and sneaked up along the mountain road

Li Dian, Liu Qing, Dong Zhi, Li Xuan, He Yi and other troops then went up the mountain

Zhao Yun led the knights to spread the cordon at the foot of the mountain

Before and after the fourth watch, Guo Jia and Xu Rong touched the mountainside, not far from the front barrier of the Yellow Hair Department, and then there were the rocks and trees piled up on the mountain road by the Yellow Hair Department

Unexpectedly, there was a nest of birds on the nearby rocks, which were frightened and took off, and the sound of crying pierced the silence of the night mountain

Wen Chou, who was in Li Dian's department, immediately ordered the drumming to be beaten. Suddenly the drums beat loudly

The frightened birds will definitely alarm the guards on the mountainside, and since they can't hide their whereabouts, they simply beat the drums and launch an offensive

Xu Rong's tun was composed of officials and mountain people from Luancheng County, and most of them were familiar with Luling. Therefore, at the forefront, Guo Jiasuotun followed behind, and in the middle of these two tuns, there were dozens of Zhang Shi assigned to them by Wen Chou

Hearing the sound of the drums ordering the immediate battle, the dozens of soldiers immediately stopped and fired their crossbows sharply

The crossbows used by these dozens of Zhang Shi are all strong crossbows, which can shoot nearly 200 paces away, enough to cross Xu Rongtun in front of them, and shoot to the first guard barrier on the mountainside

The guards behind the first bulwark were caught off guard. Many of the guards were sleeping, and they didn't have time to dodge at all, only to hear the sound of "brush, brush, brush", but I don't know how many crossbow arrows hit them almost in no particular order, and the screams immediately began

The thunderous drums and shrill screams mingled together, completely shattering the silence of the mountains and forests

Xu Rong seized the opportunity of the opposing guards who were temporarily unable to fight back. A stack of voices urging the guards to move the wooden and stone mountain road blocking the road were surrounded by mountain walls on both sides, and the wood and stone had nowhere to be lost. According to the earlier plan, some were moved to the side of the road by the garrison, while others were passed backwards

Guo Jia, who was behind, saw that Xu Rong had begun to clear the wood and stones blocking the road, and hurriedly ordered the guards of Bentun to catch up, catch and continue to pass down and then down is Li Dian's department, and Li Dian also sent people forward. Get ready for the relay

In the Li Dian Department, Wen Chou, Xun Yu, Yuanshi Rong, Li Xuan, Cen Zhu and others looked up at the top of the mountain road, Xu Rong and Guo Jiatun were under the cover of a strong crossbow, and passed the wood and stone backwards in an orderly manner, and the Yuan family Rong said happily: "The yellow thief is nothing more than that!" ......, Lieutenant, I didn't expect dozens of strong crossbows to be so powerful when they were gathered in one place. The arrow is like rain and it is unbreakable, and you don't need to go on foot, you can break the yellow thief's fortification on the mountainside with just a strong crossbow."

Yuan Rong has never been in the battle and has never fought, when the Montenegrin army besieged Yuan earlier, although he watched the battle in the city, but the scene of dozens of strong crossbows fired together was the first time he saw it, and he was surprised and delighted

Xun Yu, Li Xuan, and others have been fighting for a long time, and this kind of scene has seen a lot, in fact, compared to the scene of more than 100,000 main forces of the enemy and us or tens of thousands of Han soldiers storming the city, this scene in front of him can only be regarded as a small scene Xun Yu said: "My department is attacking at night, the thieves are unprepared, this first thief's barrier may be easy to break, but the second and third are afraid that it is not so easy."

The battle for the attack on the mountain tonight did go smoothly, but just as Xun Yuzhi was worried, after Xu Rong and Guo Jiabu took advantage of the power of the crossbow to remove the wood and stones that blocked the way, and made persistent efforts to break through the first guard barrier on the mountainside, their pace of progress retreated

The three enemy bases on the mountainside each have about 100 guards, the guard Tai half died under the crossbow arrow behind the first barrier, because of defenselessness, the remaining twenty or thirty remnants of the soldiers could not withstand Xu Rongtun's onslaught, but the guards behind the second barrier were not only united, but also prepared for defense, propped up the shield, resisted two strong crossbows one after another, and then pushed the rolling stone and wood to crush down

Xu Rong was powerful, wearing double armor, with one or twenty pawns just climbed over the first barrier, and was about to impact upward, when he looked up and saw the wood and stone falling, he hurriedly retreated and two slow-legged pawns failed to retreat to the bottom of the first barrier in time, and were hit by the wood and stone, one was hit in the chest and abdomen, and the other was hit in the head, and immediately died on the spot

Although there was the first barrier of the guards as a cover, these wood and stones could not continue to roll down, but when there were wood and stones falling at any time in front, Xu Rongtun's offensive was difficult to continue

Yuan Shirong looked up at the battle place, although he was far away and couldn't see the details, he could also guess that Xu Rong and Guo Jia were in a predicament under the wood and stone He looked up again, and saw the fire on the top of the mountain in the distance, thinking that Huang Hu must have received a military report and was assembling his troops

He took out the sword at his waist, held it in his hand, and said to Wen Chou: "Lieutenant, Huang Hai may soon send troops to help, I will break through all these three barriers before his reinforcements arrive!" Otherwise, the war will be difficult, and I am willing to go to the front to supervise the battle for the lieutenant! ”

Wen Chou is now the officials in the house, only Yuan Shirong is the son of the Zhao County Guan clan, and there will be many places to use him in the future, how can Wen Chou let him go to the front line? smiled: "Just a small fight, how can you work as the main book?" Moreover, the responsibility of the master book is to pick up the missing and make up for the shortcomings, but it is not to supervise the battle."

If you can't be ugly, Yuan Shirong can only return the sword into the sheath

Wen Chou watched the battle situation and ordered: "Order Zhang Shi to be targeted, and order Xu Rong and Guo Jia to rush again"

The herald rushed up to give the order

Wen Chou called Li Dian again and ordered: "Tell your subordinates to prepare for battle"

Li Dian took the order. Self-arrangement

The heralds rushed to the front line and relayed Wen Chou's orders to Xu Rong, Guo Jia and Ji Zhangshi

Zhang Shiju is an old pawn, and he resolutely obeys Wen Chou's order, and after receiving the order, the guards behind the second barrier also began to shoot arrows and shoot arrows, and immediately sat up from the ground. Pull the crossbow again and radiate upwards

Xu Rong is holding back his strength, wanting to make a great contribution in this attack on the mountain, he knows that the soldiers of Bentun are all new pawns, under the threat of rolling stones and wooden arrows, I am afraid that few have the courage to rush up, so he simply did not bring too many people, only selected more than ten Luancheng teenagers who had followed him for a long time, and said with a spear: "The lieutenant uses us to take the lead." I have high hopes for us, but now we have just broken through a thief's fortress and we are blocked on the road, and we really have no shame to see the lieutenant! The lieutenant has been kind to me, and I should repay him with death! Will you strike from me? ”

Wen Chou married Xu Rong with grace and righteousness, and Xu Rong married these more than ten teenagers with grace and righteousness, and these more than ten teenagers responded in unison: "I am willing to fight from the front of the king!" ”

Xu Rong is not a person who talks a lot, so he immediately rushed forward with a spear and climbed over the first barrier. With these more than ten teenagers, he rushed to the second barrier

The more than ten teenagers he brought with him were all accustomed to the mountains for a long time, and they were all agile. Although there were rolling stones and trees falling from above, under the cover of the trotters, they still moved very fast, and in the face of the falling wood and stones, they either jumped and dodged, or grabbed the bushes on the mountain wall to dodge. After paying the price of three casualties, he rushed through the distance of fifty paces

Xu Rong threw his spear and stabbed to death an archer who was about to shoot an arrow from behind the shelter, grabbing the wood and stone protruding from the barrier, and the monkey climbed the one-and-a-half-height barrier as if it were a man-and-a-half-high, drawing his knife in his hand. Jumping down from the base, slashing left and right, and walking along the narrow mountain path, he knocked down four or five of the enemy who were blocking in the blink of an eye, and the other eight or nine teenagers also climbed over the barrier, followed him closely, and slashed forward

In Li Dian's department, Wen Chou and the others saw the scene of Xu Rong leading people over the barrier, and Li Xuan said: "Now I know why the lieutenant must take Xu Rong and Guo Jia Liangtun as the first strike!" ”

Not to mention anything else, only Xu Rong and the young men he brought with him were agile in hiding wood and rocks and climbing barriers, and they couldn't find much in the Wenchou Department, after all, most of the righteous servants in the Wenchou Department were plains, and there were few people with mountain climbing experience, Chen Bao was considered a flexible one, but his flexibility was only limited to flat ground, and it was impossible for him to dodge wood and stones like a monkey on a narrow mountain road like Xu Rong and them

Guo Jia, who was behind, saw that Xu Rong led people to break through the second barrier, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush forward

Yuan Shirong's hand holding the hilt of the sword loosened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This second thief barrier is about to be broken."

Xun Yuyao pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "The reinforcements of the yellow hair are down."

And when they looked up, they saw a fiery serpent coming down from the top of the mountain along the mountain path

At this time, it was less than five watches, the night was deep, and the moon was on the top of the mountain, and this fire snake was very conspicuous

Xu Rongfang led people to break through the second barrier of the guards, and the reinforcements of the yellow beard had already opened from the top of the mountain

A few days ago, even ri, the mountains were watered through, although the rain receded these days, the sun was not hot, the mountain road was still relatively slippery, the loess turned into mud, there were gravel and other things under the mud, plus the potholes dug out artificially by the guards, this narrow mountain road became more and more difficult to walk

A few nimble mountain people, such as Xu Rong and others, were able to overcome the mud and difficulty of walking on the mountain road, but for most of the soldiers, especially the righteous servants of the Wenchou headquarters, this was an insurmountable difficulty

For this reason, after seeing Huang Beard's reinforcements, although Wen Chou repeatedly passed down military orders, ordering the front departments to speed up the attack, in order to strive to completely break through these three barriers before Huang Beard's reinforcements arrived, but the offensive in front was still slow and difficult

Xu Rong and Guo Jia joined forces, and after paying the price of twenty or thirty casualties, they occupied the second barrier of the guards, and when Yu waited for the further attack, Huang Yan's reinforcements had reached the third barrier

The three barriers of the guards, behind each barrier, there were originally about 100 people each, but these 100 people were already difficult to attack, and now the reinforcements of the yellow-haired brigade have arrived, which has increased the difficulty of the attack

In the face of the arrows that suddenly increased in the number of guards, Xu Rong led the young man to attack three times in a row, but he was blocked halfway and had to retreat in vain

Before I knew it, the sky was already light

With the help of the bright sky, the enemy situation of the guards no longer needed to use the light of the torches, and it was directly exposed to the eyes of Xu Rong and Guo Jia on the front line, and Wen Chou, Xun Yu, Yuanshi, Rong Li Dian and others in the back

It can be seen that behind the third barrier, like a long snake, I don't know how many black mountain soldiers are standing on the mountain road with spears, and the mountain road is narrow. Can't accommodate too many people standing side by side, the wider place is two people standing side by side, the narrower place is one person holding a weapon to stand and can't see the tail at a glance, this long snake winds and turns, as if it leads straight to the top of the mountain

In the long snake array, there are various sè flags

The morning breeze blows. The flags are rustling, the shrubs on the mountain wall are also rustling and shaking, the guard's forehead is smeared with black mountain, and the tail of the towel hanging behind his head is also waving the shrub flag, and the black mountain is all moving with the wind, all of which are like the whole mountain moving for a while

Two words come to mind: "The grass and trees are all soldiers"

It is no wonder that the grass and trees on the mountain in later generations are humanoid, and it is no wonder that when he heard the rumors, he thought that the enemy soldiers were chasing him

If you look at it in the middle of the night, you can't see it clearly. It's okay, but in the daytime, because you can see clearly, it doesn't matter, the most is when the day is about to light but not yet bright, you can see but can't distinguish clearly, the most stressful

Xun Yuyao pointed to the mountainside and said, "Is that the yellow-haired military flag?" ”

A banner that was noticeably taller than the other flag was erected a hundred paces above the mountainside. As far as the eye can see, it can be vaguely seen that there are several people in armor and swords, and these people seem to be pointing and discussing with the soldiers of the Wenchou Department under the mountainside

……

Xu Rong and Guo Jia on the front line also saw the yellow-haired military flag

The two of them saw it though. Performances were mixed

Xu Rong couldn't break the third barrier because he attacked it in a row, so he retreated to the ministry and discussed with Guo Jia to fight

Guo Jia is indeed talented and courageous, but in terms of "perseverance", he is not as bold as Xu Rong, and he may be able to be brave for a while, and he can calmly die in the face of danger. The lead is fast, but when you are caught in a bitter battle, you may not be able to endure this suffering

Guo Jia can't endure this hardship

The second barrier had just been taken, and after a fierce battle, the mountain path was so narrow that there was nowhere to move the bodies of the enemy and our soldiers who had been killed in the battle. It was casually piled up on the side of the mountain wall, with severed limbs and corpses, arrows and broken spears, all in sight, blood stains mixed into the mud, dotted and shocking

Guo Jia looked up and looked at the third guard's barrier fifty steps in front of him, and the reinforcements behind the barrier seemed to be endless, he looked at the yellow-haired military flag and said: "The thief's aid has arrived at the ......, it is dawn, and it took nearly two hours to capture the two barriers, and this last barrier is afraid that it will be difficult to attack!" Chen Jun, we should suggest to the lieutenant that it is better to retreat for the time being, and wait for Ming Ri to attack again."

Xu Rong and Guo Jia are not familiar with each other, although they are both from Zhao County, but if it weren't for Wen Chou, they wouldn't know Guo Jia Dwarf and ugly, but he is also a "scholar", Xu Rong has always respected Shizi, plus he is now the "history" of Wen Chou's door, Guo Jia is "Peng", and his rank is one level lower than Guo Jia, so after getting acquainted with Guo Jia, he has always been very respectful to Guo Jia

At this time, after listening to Guo Jia's suggestion to retreat, he was silent for a moment, holding the spear covered with bloodstained sword slash marks, and said: "The sky is about to dawn, the thief's aid has arrived, this only remaining thief base is difficult to attack, but the mountain road is narrow and difficult to walk, I can wait for the thief to say, once he retreats, he will be pursued by the thief,......, Cheng Jun, do you think that once we are pursued by the thief, will we still have a way to live?" ”

Guo Jia and Xu Rong are the vanguard of the offensive, the mountain road is narrow, it is difficult to change the order of the various departments on a large scale, so if the offensive is improved to retreat, they can only shoulder the responsibility of breaking the rear, and they have the initiative when attacking, and they will attack if they want to, and stop if they want to, but once they retreat, the initiative will become the defender's, and if the defenders take advantage of the height and go down and chase after them, it is foreseeable that the 200 people under his two units will surely suffer heavy casualties

With Guo Jia's strategy, he would not have thought of this, but because he was shocked by the tragic situation of the casualties of the enemy and our soldiers in front of him, he lost his words for a while and proposed to retreat, and then he was politely rejected by Xu Rong, he came to his senses and said: "What Chen Jun said is very true, but it is just ......"

Xu Rong interrupted him, turned his eyes at the yellow-haired military flag on the mountainside, and said in a deep voice: "The lieutenant has paid a heavy responsibility to the two of us, even you and my Ertun soldiers are all folded here, and this third barrier must be captured by the lieutenant!" Cheng Jun, please sweep the battle for me, and I will lead someone to attack again! ”

Guo Jiazhuang was brave and quite ashamed, and said: "The two previous barriers of the thieves were captured by Chen Jun, and Juntun suffered many casualties, so I will take the third barrier!" ”

"Scheming, I'm not as good as you, I'm in trouble with a thief, but maybe you're not as good as ......me, Cheng Jun, don't fight, I'm still here!"

Facing the enemy. Guo Jia is definitely not as powerless as Xu Rong Guo Jia, and letting him go into battle in person is to let him go to death; Xu Rong is powerful and brave, and he can personally go into battle on the battlefield, especially in a hard battle, and the main general can improve morale in person

Xu Rong finished discussing with Guo Jia, and once again summoned the young man to follow. Once again, he led more than a dozen armor soldiers over the second barrier and rushed upward

……

In Li Dian's department, Wen Chou and others looked up to it

Seeing that Xu Rong was carrying heavy armor, holding a shield with his left hand and waving a spear with his right hand, after getting out of the second barrier, he could not rush forward for more than ten steps, and seven or eight arrows were hit on the armor shield against the rain of arrows, and he rushed up less than ten steps. At this time, he was only thirty steps away from the third barrier, and the distance was too short for him to dodge, so he had to drop the shield in his left hand, grab a yellow vine hanging from the mountain wall, and swing his body, which could flash two or three stones and trees that fell one after another

Some of the more than a dozen teenagers who followed behind him followed his example. Avoided the wood and stone, but some couldn't dodge. Knocked down by rolling

The guards behind the third barrier took this opportunity to rush out more than a dozen warriors, all of whom were short-handed, and killed them all at once

Xu Rong and the others were attacking from the back, and they were already at a loss, and they had just been disrupted by the rolling stones. Resist and retreat

Guo Jia saw it later, and hurriedly waved the flag to give the order, kicked Zhang Shi to pull the crossbow, and the brave armor soldier raised a spear to rescue

With the support from behind, Xu Rong and the others retreated safely behind the second barrier

The Black Mountain soldiers who attacked also retreated

The mountain road is narrow. Can't put up a position, this kind of brawl is the first time Wen Chou has encountered the difficulty of attacking the mountain this time, although he has already made psychological preparations, but when he arrives in front of him, he finds that this "not easy" is more difficult than he imagined

He muttered: "I don't know what happened, I don't know how to do it."

He had already had the idea of expanding his army, so he had made a decision that the expansion should not be too late, and he would start to carry out it when he returned to the Yuan clan after the battle

Li Dian and others have been watching the battle for a long time, seeing that Xu Rong has been in vain in several battles, and the conflict has been repeated, and he must not break the last barrier of the guards

Wen Chou's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and he said in his heart: "The mountain road is narrow, and when the warriors are in need of a surprise attack, it stands to reason that Liu Qing should be sent, but the thief reinforcements have just arrived, and my troops have failed to attack, and the morale of the thief is booming, at this time, if Liu Qing is sent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer the ......, I should use the strategy of Tian Ji horse racing, first use the middle horse to attack it, and then use the thief's sharp spirit to kill it, and then use the horse to attack."

He issued a military order: "Manchester City, lead your troops up and attack for a while"

The mountain road was narrow, and it was not possible to mobilize troops in an organized manner, so Li Dian selected 30 Jing Rui men from his department, personally led them, went to the front line, replaced Guo Jia and Xu Rong, and launched an attack on the enemy base in front of him

Among the old people of Zhao Yun Liu Qing and other Xixiang, Li Dian has bravery, but he is not the most brave one, his mind is more active, and the first thing he thinks about when he fights the enemy is not to break the enemy, but to protect himself first, in other words, that is to say, he first thinks about his own safety, and Zhao Yun and Liu Qing when they kill the enemy, "fight and forget to die" is different, so although the thirty people he brought are all brave warriors, he also wants to break the barrier of the guards, but it is also a battle

Not only was there no attack, because he and his men were all plainsmen, although they had gone through more than ten years of pre-war training, they were still not very suitable for mountain warfare, and one after another his soldiers were tripped by scattered wood and stones, or tripped by empty feet and pits, not only failed to break through the enemy's barriers, but were chased and killed by the guards in embarrassment

Guo Jia and Xu Rong watched the battle behind the second barrier, and witnessed Li Dianbu's embarrassment, the two of them did not show any expression, but many of the soldiers in their tun showed contempt

Wen Chou's name is Ru Hu, and his reputation for being good at fighting and daring to fight has long been spread, and it is better to see it than to hear it, but he didn't expect that the righteous soldiers under his command would be so "unbearable"?

Wen Chou below knew that this was because the mountain road was difficult to walk, but he didn't blame Li Dian for it, but he angered one person

Wen Chou, Xun Yu, Yuan's Rong, Cen Zhu, Li Xuan and others were looking up at the battle situation, and suddenly heard the chaos of the troops behind them, Wen Chou turned his head to look, and saw Zhao Yun rushing up with his sword

"Gyokuro? What are you doing here? But are there other bandits under the mountain to help Huang Hai? ”

"The king led the sharp soldiers, and the yellow thief fought fiercely on the mountainside, the sound of fierce battle was heard in the four mountains, the birds and birds frightened, the tiger and wolf fled, and the thieves in the mountains near the perimeter were afraid of the king's military might, and no one dared to come to the aid of the yellow beard" (to be continued.) )
