The night wind is bleak and cold, and it cuts like a knife. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On a small hill five miles outside the city, two hundred soldiers were stationed, led by the young general Meng Liang.

In order to expand the search area, Li Xiucheng's troops divided into five routes and led a group of men and horses to the other side of the valley to search; Division commander Meng Liang led a regiment to Taniguchi.

The army searched outside the valley and was preparing to explore the valley.

Meng Liangce's horse stood on the hill, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon stared at the bottom of the mountain without blinking on his majestic body of nearly nine feet.

The youngest general in Hangzhou City was only twenty-five years old this year, and his body was extremely strong, especially the unusually thick neck, which looked like a wrestler with heavy weapons. However, there is always a certain deceptiveness in the appearance of people. Before he became famous, no one expected that this seemingly rough man would be as cunning as a fox. His style of use of troops is like a ghost floating quietly in the fields at night, and his enemies respect and fear him, calling him a "fox general".

The infantry troops he brought this time were all sword and shield soldiers and archers, because he knew that in the woodland where the trees were not far apart, long weapons of more than two zhang length could not be used normally, and only sword and shield soldiers and archers could exert their due power. This general, who worked his way up from the bottom, showed sophistication in his use of troops that he did not want to call his age.

According to the information of local villagers, there have been many Qing demons armed with swords stationed in the forest in the past few days. They marched in an orderly manner, day and night, not like the ordinary Han army green camp that robbed houses.

Could it be Zuo Zongtang, or the main force of Zeng Guofan?

At this time, although Huya Valley in the night seemed to have not woken up, everyone knew that it was only temporary. As soon as it was dark, their whereabouts would be discovered by the Qing army in the valley.

Perhaps, now their whereabouts have been discovered by the Qing army scouts! Could it be that the reason why the valley is so quiet is some kind of conspiracy of the enemy?

Meng Liang looked at it for a while, then looked back at the generals on the left and right and said, "I dare to conclude that the enemy has discovered our whereabouts. As soon as it gets dark, they will launch a fierce offensive against us. ”

Commander Lin Feng glanced back and forth towards the valley, looked at the sky again, and said, "According to the description of the villagers, it seems that the enemy who has infiltrated the valley is not even a hundred people. How big a wave can a man and a centaur make at this point? Several of the other officers nodded slightly, and although they admired the young commander in front of them, they also felt that he was a little too cautious.

"It's just a pathfinder, and most of them have backup?" Brigade commander Hong Feng, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "What's more, our army is in the open and the enemy is in the dark. It was dark at the moment, and we were not familiar with the situation in the forest, and if we rushed in, there was a high risk that we would be ambushed by the enemy. ”

Lin Feng took the big knife in his hand and said, "We have a total of more than 200 people, and we are still afraid of dozens of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Even if there is an ambush, I will slaughter them all with the sword in my hand! ”

Hong Lingfeng said coldly: "How do you know that the other party only has dozens of people?" Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

Lin Feng was speechless for a while.

The ghost general Meng Liang pondered: "The valley here guards the only main road to the north of the city. If the Qing demon wants to attack this, he must do his best, and immediately go south to capture Hangzhou City after winning several mountain fortresses set up by the Ganwang. Otherwise, it would be pointless to just grab such a few small fortresses, it would only be a tug-of-war. ”

Lin Feng said: "Since this is the case, then ask General Meng to march quickly!" ”

Meng Liang didn't answer his words, but stared at Huya Valley intently, and suddenly, everyone present was stunned.

At the exit of Huya Valley, a torch suddenly lit up. Then, a small black dot flew from the torch, and the black dot grew larger and larger, gradually turning into the shape of an eagle, and flew straight towards the top of the mountain.

Lin Feng hurriedly aimed the arrow at the eagle, and when the archers saw that the commander was like this, they also followed suit, and in an instant, two hundred arrows were aimed at the eagle together.

Meng Liang stopped Lin Feng, who was about to release arrows, and at the same time ordered all archers to prohibit the release of arrows. In the midst of everyone's bewildered gaze, the eagle had already flown above their heads, and the clenched talons suddenly loosened, and a roll of parchment fell at their feet.

The contents of the parchment scroll are only two simple lines: Huya Taniguchi is waiting for you.

Meng Liang smiled indifferently, took the sheepskin into his arms, and then took the lead in riding his horse and jumping down the hill.

When I came to the mouth of the Huya Valley, the torch that should have appeared disappeared without a trace, and there was only the valley mouth of the black hole in front of everyone.

Hong Lingfeng rode his horse to Meng Liang's side and said, "Could this be a trap?" ”

Meng Liang observed the surrounding scenery, and after a moment, said, "The fact that the enemy can easily find our army hiding in the mountains shows that their strength is far beyond our imagination. This alone makes it impossible to ambush us. What I'm most worried about now is whether our current combat strength can match the enemy's strength in the valley. ”

Lin Feng snorted coldly: "Even if the enemy has three heads and six arms, Lao Tzu will also beat him all over the ground to find teeth!" After a pause, he shouted: "Shameless rats with their heads and tails hidden!" Do you dare to come out and fight? ”

The only answer to him was the howling mountain wind.

Lin Feng was smugly, and a torch slowly lit up from the darkness in the valley.

The torches got closer and brighter, and finally stopped about ten feet in front of everyone.

Everyone stared at it and couldn't help but be shocked.

What appeared in front of them was not a human, but a nine-foot-tall monster with the head of a snake. He was wrapped in a thick armor that looked exactly like the mythical youkai.

Lin Feng, who was originally arrogant, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a monster at first glance.

However, what surprised them even more was that from the mouth of this basilisk, there were people who spoke, and it was quite pure Hangzhou dialect: "Lao Tzu is here, do any of you dare to come forward to fight?" ”

Meng Liang has been in the army for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a monster, isn't it the Qing demon pretending to scare people? After thinking for a while, he looked back at Captain Lin Feng and said, "Old Lin, you go and find out the strength of that monster." Don't fall in love, if you don't feel right, retreat in time, understand? ”

Lin Feng's height is similar to Meng Liang's, and his strength is even better, he is the chief vanguard general under Meng Liang's command, he immediately calmed down after being surprised, and returned to his true qualities, without waiting for Meng Liang to finish speaking, he took the axe handed by his subordinates, and rushed towards the basio-headed monster.

The basiohead didn't show the slightest panicked look in the face of the menacing Lin Feng, but stood motionless in place for a long time.

He didn't have any weapons in his hands, but the pair of huge claws covered with green scales were no less than any weapon.

The distance of ten zhang is very close for cavalry.

Although Lin Feng was a general of the infantry army, he was originally a cavalryman and had excellent riding skills. Especially the battle axe weighing more than 40 catties in his hand has beheaded many bandits off their horses.

The previous stunned was only surprised by the strange appearance of the basilisk, and he didn't pay attention to the basilisk's strength at all. (To be continued.) )
