Thea rushed to the front, taking off her battle robe as she went. In order to lose as much weight as possible, not only could she not wear armor, but she also had to take off her heavy battle robe, leaving only a close-fitting single coat.

Tuniu'er chased after him and sent him a bundle of rope. Taking advantage of the time when Xia took the rope and carried it diagonally, he grabbed the rope and tugged hard. The rope slipped a little, then stopped. Tuniuer breathed a sigh of relief and handed the rope to Thea.

"Thea, be careful. If it really doesn't work, you just run, don't hold it hard, do you hear it? ”

"Brother Niu'er, I know." Thea laughed, grabbed the rope, and sped upward. For more than a month, she and Sigma have been alternating between such jobs. They are agile and lightweight, making them the most suitable strikers.

Of course, the danger is also the greatest, especially when the enemy is close at hand.

As Thea climbed up, the mercenaries stared nervously at her. Whether the rope can be fixed smoothly is related to whether the task can be truly completed. They didn't dare to light the torches, the starlight was dim, and Thea soon became a dark shadow, swaying and rising.

Liang Xiao deliberately slowed down his breathing, and the hand holding the bow slowly loosened and slowly retracted. With a slow breath, the heat flow slowly rises, pouring into the arms and injecting into each finger.

The fingers were still cold, but they were nimble.

Thea was still rising, and there was a faint voice in the distance, as if something was going on. After a while, the two men walked over to this side, grumbling as they went. One of them was holding a torch. Hold the knife. The other carried a shield.

Liang Xiao closed his eyes, breathing as if he were nothing.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and first Thea heard it, she gritted her teeth and hurried up as soon as she could. When footsteps sounded overhead, she stopped and glanced at Liang Xiao at the top of the tree.

Liang Xiao lifted his clothes and stood up. Raise your bow and shoot four armor-piercing arrows.

The chariot soldier had just spotted the flying catch on the ground, bent down, approached the torch, and was about to look closer, when two armor-piercing arrows broke through the air, and the soldier holding the torch snorted, threw himself to the ground, and threw the torch out. The other soldier was taken aback and was about to shout. Two armor-piercing arrows flew in at almost the same time, piercing his chest in one shot. An arrow pierced his throat.

Liang Xiao held his breath and listened intently. Although he was only thirty paces away, and although he shot four arrows, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to shoot them.

There was no other sound.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and let out two birdsongs, motioning for Xia to continue. Thea continued to work hard and finally climbed to the top of the cliff. She hunched over, rushed over, picked up the torch first, and confirmed that the two had been shot, then breathed a sigh of relief, fixed the rope, and issued a code.

Tuniu'er and Pang Shuo climbed up, and Tuniu'er threw Xia Ya's robe to her. "Put it on."

"Alas!" Thea rubbed her hands together and put on her battle robe.

Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo put down two more ropes, and then the two stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, holding torches, looking back and forth.

The driver in the distance shouted twice, Tu Niu'er held his throat, cursed a few words vaguely, waved his torch, and signaled that there was no situation. When the driver saw this, he shrank back again. Liang Xiao smiled. As he expected, no one wants to be troubled in this winter.

Now with four ropes, the mercenaries picked up speed and quickly climbed up. Once at the top of the cliff, they lay down new ropes or take up arms and join the formation.

After a meal, there were already more than ten people on the top of the cliff. The stone hanging in Liang Xiao's heart was finally put down. The first to go up were all masters, and there were more than ten people in the way, even if the driver found out, they couldn't stop them. What's more, the driver is still in the dark and doesn't care about the situation here at all.

He was glad that the venture had succeeded. He slid down the tree, climbed to the top of the cliff, and ran to Thea. Thea handed over a bronze flask. Liang Xiao took it and took a big sip. The wine is lukewarm with a strong body odor.

Although it's a girl in the flower season, but I haven't taken a bath for a few days, and the smell is still a bit big.

He just wanted to tease Xia twice, when the driver on the other side moved again and roared loudly. Liang Xiao gestured at Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo, motioning for them to come over. Tu Niu'er understood, held the torch, and walked back, Pang Shuo followed with a short body. Others hid in the darkness, outflanked from the wings.

Liang Xiao poured another sip of wine, stuffed a tsamba in his mouth, picked up his bow, and joined the raid with Xia Ya. Thirty steps away from the Che Master, they stopped and watched Tu Niu'er and the others walk over step by step.

When Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo walked more than ten steps in front of the driver, the driver finally realized that something was wrong, and drew his weapon while shouting. In the midst of the chaotic crowd, there was a horn bearer, raising a huge bull's horn.

In an instant, Liang Xiao stood up from his hiding place, running forward while shooting continuously. At the same time, Tuniu'er threw away the torches, grabbed the shield and sword, and galloped. Pang Shuo held the knife in both hands, followed closely behind Tu Niu'er, and grabbed the front in a few steps.

As soon as the horn soldier raised the horn, Liang Xiao's arrow arrived, and an arrow flew the horn and pierced his neck. The hornman flew sideways, blood spurting from his mouth, and the horn was gone. He clutched his neck, twitched a few times, and slowly stopped moving.

In a moment, Liang Xiao shot three more people and rushed to the side of the bunker. Just in time, I saw Tu Niu'er kick the last chariot soldier to the ground.

There were seven corpses lying inside and outside the bunker, plus the previous two, and the captured one, for a total of ten, exactly one tithe.

As Linghu said, this bunker was not built, but dug out of the ground, and although it was simple, it was well equipped. There was a bonfire in the center, on which milk was boiled, wine was warmed, and a sheep was roasted, and only a little skeleton remained.

Liang Xiao sat down and motioned for the two people in danger to come forward and interrogate. Their language is much the same, and they understand each other. Seeing the enemies constantly surrounding, the Che Shi people were so frightened that they didn't have to do anything, so they scared the beans down. Make it clear.

Two days ago. They were notified. It is necessary to strengthen defense to prevent a gang of rogue gangsters from entering the city and robbing it. It is said that this gang of rogues is a habitual bandit, kills people without blinking, and is extremely ferocious. However, most of the troops were deployed in the vicinity of the royal fortress in the south of the city, which was a monastic area with only ascetics and few inhabitants. There was no city gate, so the defense was relatively lax. In addition to them, there was another Shi, to the south of them, about two hundred paces away.

Further south, the patrols are much denser.

When Liang Xiao heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo to arrange a vigilance.

When all the mercenaries arrived, Liang Xiao handed over the boiling milk wine and let them drink two sips each. Warm up, and then set the task. These people have been fighting together for a long time. The cooperation between each other is very tacit, and they don't need Liang Xiao to say more, they understand what to do.

Liang Xiao gave an order, and they worked in groups of three or five, covering alternately, and touched forward.

The Che Master of the next stronghold was not prepared at all and was dealt with in his sleep.

Liang Xiao and others are like a pack of wolves, all the way forward, invincible. It wasn't until the royal city went down that he encountered a little trouble.

The gate of the royal city was closed, a fire was lit in front of the city gate, and several soldiers stood on both sides of the gate with their necks bent in the cold wind, stamping their feet from time to time, and more people crowded into the hole of the city gate, warming themselves around the fire, and complaining in a low voice. On the city, there was a soldier every ten paces, and most of them were tightly wrapped, but there were no people in sight in some places, and they didn't know whether they were hiding under the city walls to avoid the wind, or where they had gone.

Liang Xiao secretly laughed. The driver really thinks of himself as a rogue. They didn't know that although he only had a hundred people, all of them were elites. If he fought head-on, even if there were 500 Che Divisions, he would not be afraid. The only thing that can stop him is the unique terrain of Jiaohe City, and now that he has come up, what else is there to scruple about.

Liang Xiao motioned to Linghu and the others to prepare to attack from both sides, and walked out with Xia Ya himself. Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo followed, walked out of their hiding place, and walked towards the city gate. He walked calmly, not like an enemy attacking the city, but like a tourist who had come for sightseeing.

Seeing someone come out of the darkness and approach the city gate step by step, the chariot soldiers and soldiers up and down the royal city immediately became energetic and shouted majestically.

"Who?"

"Stop, stop!"

"The royal city is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter or leave."

Liang Xiao ignored them at all and continued to move forward with steady steps. While he attracted the attention of the Che Master, Linghu and the others divided into two teams and quietly touched the corners of the city on both sides, hiding in the darkness, preparing to climb the city. The royal city is not high, that is, about one zhang and five feet, with the skills of the mercenaries, as long as no one stops them, the stacks of arhats can turn in.

Liang Xiao came to the bonfire in front of the city gate, stretched out his hand, and casually roasted the fire.

An officer-like chariot master walked out of the hole in the city gate, pulled out his knife, leaned over cautiously, and stood still in front of Liang Xiao in five steps. A dozen soldiers stood beside him with weapons in hand, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Who are you?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him and laughed: "I, the envoy of the Western Regions of the Great Han Dynasty, the commander of the cavalry, Liang Xiao." ”

Although Liang Xiao spoke very slowly, he spoke Chinese, and the driver didn't understand it at all, until he heard the last name, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and shouted: "Liang Xiao? As he spoke, he took two steps back.

The chariot soldiers beside him were also panicked, as if they had seen a fierce beast, and they took two steps back.

Liang Xiao couldn't understand the driver's words, but he could understand his name. He smiled and nodded, glanced into the distance with the afterglow of his eyes, and saw that Linghu and the others were ready to climb the city, and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, I'm Liang Xiao, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and I'm here today to visit King Cheshi. Are you going to open the door to greet you, or do you want me to go in? ”

The officer of the division didn't understand what he was saying, he just raised his knife and shouted in a whoa-wow-wow, urging his men to come forward and attack. Seeing this, Liang Xiao sighed. "It seems that you will not accept my kindness. In that case, don't blame me. Cow, big tiger, on! ”

"Whoa!" Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo promised loudly and pounced.

Liang Xiao took the bow from Xia Ya's hand, opened his bow and set up an arrow, glanced at the officer of the Cheshi who was anxious and white-faced, smiled slightly, and shot a killer arrow-
