Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Red Kite Helps

As soon as Zhao Ting raised his hand, everyone quieted down.

"It is not unreasonable for the congregation to consider it. It is precisely because of the difficulty of the cliff that the king must go in person, and your martial arts can naturally sweep the four directions when you go into battle to kill the enemy, but you are afraid that you can't even go up the cliff, let alone the soldiers. Rest assured, this king will not be able to return to a small cliff, let alone fold under this sword gate. ”

"This ......" The generals were still a little hesitant, and they all knew that the mountain wall was not easy to climb at all. In case of an accident to King Wei, everyone's heads will not be saved.

But Zhao Ting has made up his mind, although he knows that the mountain wall on the south side must be difficult and dangerous, but since Yun Moxi can come up with this strategy, he sees Yun Yueqi's calm and translucent eyes in the corner.

He was even more full of confidence in his heart, this battle had reached this situation, only the soldiers were in danger, so he pulled out the arrow, "This king is not here, Wang Quanbin is under the deputy command, temporarily commanding the whole army, ready to attack the city, one day early, two days late, as long as the signal is seen, he will command the whole army to fight to attack the city." ”

"The last general commands!" The generals also knew that King Wei was good at martial arts, and under the management of the army, the military orders were like mountains, and the arrows could not be changed, so they had to receive orders. Although I still have worries in my heart, I don't dare to disobey.

So they began to discuss the details, and all the generals saw the man in the corner with his arms folded and his eyes hanging indifferently.

I don't know who he is, he actually participated in the confidential meeting of the generals in the army, although he didn't say a word, hidden in the corner and dark, but his whole body exuded a sense of arrogance and an invisible pressure.

Seeing that King Wei did not introduce him, his attitude towards him was very important and modest.

They all guessed his identity in their hearts.

When the discussion was over, they withdrew and prepared separately.

Zhao Ting ordered He Chong to summon the palace guards and personally select them. These are the palace guards who he personally practiced and instructed martial arts. All of them are elites who have followed him for many years and have experienced hundreds of battles and strong martial arts. One in a hundred, and finally a thousand people were selected, ready to go.

At nightfall, before the tent, a huge fire was lit, and a thousand guards lined up and waited.

Zhao Ting was wearing a dark color suit, wearing a golden crown, and carrying a gilded pear flower and wood dragon stick behind him, majestic and majestic, and strode out of the handsome tent.

He Chong and Yun Yueqi followed behind.

Standing still on the steps in front of the tent, under the reflection of the raging fire, the more and more heroic and compelling, the handsome eyes swept down.

He said sharply: "You are all the personal guards who have followed this king for many years, experienced in a hundred battles, and have made countless contributions to the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty. Tonight, the king will personally lead you to attack the city wall from the southern cliff, and the inside and the outside should be combined, and the city will be broken with the army in one fell swoop. This is an opportunity to serve the emperor, build this miraculous feat, and after returning to the dynasty, he will definitely play the Ming Shengshang to ask for merit for you. ”

"Swear to follow His Royal Highness the King of Wei and swear allegiance to the emperor." The hearts of the guards were full of determination and strength to win, and they shouted loudly, and their morale was high.

"Let's go!" Zhao Ting shouted.

Jump off the platform and lead the team to set off in the night.

There are many mountains and forests in Shudi, so the fog is very heavy, and it is like a light rain at night. Not only is it misty in front of you, the road is difficult to distinguish and you can hardly see the way ahead, especially the mountains, the woods are dense, and the vines are entwined and blocked.

Most of the Song army were from the Central Plains, and they had never seen so many highlands and jungles, and they rarely walked this kind of road at night, even if their martial arts were not weak, it was very difficult to walk.

The night in the forest is unusually cold and dark, as if the moon is obscured by high mountains, and some of the dense places in the forest are even more visible. In order to prevent the Shu army from discovering that they could not light torches, fortunately, the internal strength of these guards was not weak, and they could barely see things in the dark night.

Yun Yueqi took two of the red kites' subordinates to lead the way, and was very familiar with the terrain, although it was difficult to walk, he could also find a sheep intestine path. It's just that there are all kinds of dangers in the jungle, a few accidentally slipped off the cliff, Zhao Ting looked down, there must be no possibility of survival, even if he is still alive, he has no time to rescue at this moment, so he has to wave his hand and continue to move forward.

Some of them were suddenly bitten by snakes and poisonous insects in the grass, and they couldn't continue to follow the advance, so they could only arrange for someone to support them back to the camp, but whether they could return smoothly along the way only depended on their ability.

There are no torches, so as you walk, jackals, wild boars, and even tigers and beasts will suddenly rush out of the forest. From time to time, there are screams and fights in the team, even if there are martial arts, in this dense forest, they are also caught off guard, and they can't be used, even if they want to rescue them, they find that the attacked person has been dragged into the forest by the beast, where can they still be chased.

Zhao Ting twisted his eyebrows and led the team to follow Yun Yueqi to continue to move forward, and he couldn't delay the overall situation because of this.

The thousand-strong team walked for most of the night, losing dozens of people.

The sky was a little brighter, and the team walked to a hillside to rest for a while, Zhao Ting inspected the team, looked at the embarrassed guards, and was a little worried. His previous scruples were right, it would not be easy to find the way with the strength of the Song army alone, let alone climb the steep southern slope.

He looked up and saw that the southern slope was in the distance, and although he had walked all night, he didn't seem to have walked much. If you can travel 100 miles in one night on the plains, you may only climb one or two mountains between the mountains.

I don't know what the ability of the red kite is, if I rely on my remaining guards to complete the task, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult.

Looking at Yun Yueqi, he was sitting cross-legged on a stone with his eyes closed and breathing, and there was not the slightest embarrassment and anxiety on his cold and indifferent handsome face. Looking at him, Zhao Ting suddenly remembered Yun Moxi's calm and calm eyes, and she must be waiting for her good news at this moment.

Immediately I had confidence, and I also sat down to meditate on pranayama.

After a short rest, I took some dry food and moved on.

During the day, the situation of climbing the mountain is better, but in the narrow and slippery mountain road, you have to beware of the patrols of the Shu Kingdom. Even if Kong Wu is powerful, it may not be useful, but it must be agile and dexterous.

Yun Yueqi and his two subordinates opened the way in front, obviously it was an identical jungle, but they could turn left and right to find a way out. And seeing that there was a mountain stream and a cliff in front of him, he was able to lead a small path around the sheep's intestines.

In particular, the two red kites seem to know the terrain well.

Zhao Ting was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Yueqi, how can you be so familiar with the terrain here?" ”

"The red kite has a team of people who are specifically responsible for finding their way. The Shu Kingdom had already sent members of the Red Kite's pathfinding team, so they were already familiar with this place. ”

"Oh? It's strange why the red kite still has a group member with this effect alone. Does the Yun family need these? ”

Yun Yueqi glanced at him, "When His Royal Highness sees the eldest lady, ask her personally!" ”

Zhao Ting also knew that he was very shrewd, and it was impossible to hear the news from his mouth.

The speed of the team increased, and when it reached noon, it reached the top of a valley, Yun Yueqi pointed to the bottom and said, "The people below are the people brought below." ”

Zhao Yan looked down, and saw that the woods in the valley below were black and pressing, and they were already neatly arranged and waiting.

I was happy in my heart, these people were my hope, and success or failure was here. So he followed Yun Yueqi and led everyone to rush down to join the red kite.

I saw that the red kite was in a neat formation, all dressed in black, with a silver red kite belt.

He wears specially made cowhide boots on his feet, and if you look closely, there are some small iron nails inlaid on them, and he wears soft cowhide covers with palm guards on his hands. He carried a bundle of rope and a small cloth bag, and a small pointed pickaxe stuck diagonally into his belt.
