Chapter 40: Night Attack on Broken Soul Cliff

"Report to the general, spies from outside the city have come to report that they have found that the Duo army's food transport troops will pass through the Broken Soul Cliff on the third watch tonight!"

The generals were stunned, and then a touch of ecstasy appeared on their faces, if this grain transport force could be intercepted, the siege time of the Duo army would be delayed, and the barren hill city would be safe.

"This is a good opportunity, but if we want to attack and intercept grain and grass, our army can't move too much, otherwise once the Duo army finds out and the matter is revealed, there will be no chance. Therefore, the fewer people who go and the stronger the strength, the greater the possibility of success. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhennan's eyes looked at the sword, and the generals also looked at the sword. This time to attack the food and grass of the Duo army, Ba Dao and all the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect went to go, which was very appropriate.

"General Wei, this seat can go to the Broken Soul Cliff for a while, but this seat doesn't know where the Broken Soul Cliff is located, and someone needs to lead the way. Ba Dao raised his eyebrows and said.

Wei Zhennan looked around at the generals and said, "Who is willing to go with the head of the sword?"

The generals bowed their heads and remained silent, this going to the Broken Soul Cliff must be dangerous, and they will die for a lifetime. When in danger, the disciples of Badao and Jiuhua Sect are strong, and they may be able to break through and escape, but they only have the choice of death.

The hall was silent, no one took the initiative to go, Wei Zhennan stared, his face was angry, and he was about to reprimand angrily, but he saw the white-robed young general suddenly stand up.

"Father, my son is willing to go!" Wei Zheng said.

The generals looked at Wei Zheng, not wanting him to be just twenty years old, but he had such courage not to be afraid of death. Ba Dao's eyes also showed a little satisfaction, and Qin Yu couldn't help but have a little admiration for Wei Zheng.

Wei Zhennan was stunned, his face changed for a while, this matter was mentioned by Ling Jiannan, and he planned and arranged it by himself, so he naturally knew the stakes. I thought about it in a thousand ways, but I didn't expect that Wei Zheng would take the initiative to put forward his wish. In front of everyone's eyes, they can't say that they won't let him go.

In desperation, although Wei Zhennan felt remorseful in his heart, he had to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "Okay! I will select another fifty elite soldiers, and go to the Broken Soul Cliff with the first seat of the domineering and all the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect. ”

"Muhua City is also quite far away from Barren Hill City, Hao Jianfeng, a disciple of Qingyun Peak, has a light body, especially speed, so he asked him to go to Muhua City for help, and then go straight to the national capital to report to the king. ”

The generals nodded in agreement.

"In this way, Hao Jianfeng immediately set off and went to Muhua City, the first seat of the sword, the nine disciples, Wei Zheng went back to rest, and acted at sunset!"

Everyone dispersed, Wei Zhennan's expression instantly dimmed, and he sighed in his heart: "Providence is so, Zheng'er, I will send fifty elite soldiers to protect you, I hope you can return to Barren Hill City safely." ”

But when Qin Yu walked out of the hall, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he returned to the house, he racked his brains, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

In the evening, the sun was setting, and Qin Yu was about to meet with Badao and the others, when suddenly, Zhang Yi pushed the door in.

"Sir," Qin Yu saluted.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, shook the fan, and said: "That day, I smelled the mellow aroma of wine, and after drinking with you, I missed the immortal wine, and I came to ask for a glass of wine with a cheeky face, and I hope you don't blame." ”

Qin Yu said: "Where is this, Mr. come, I should prepare wine to treat each other, but today I will follow the master of the sword, go to the Broken Soul Cliff, attack the food and grass of the Duo army, and set off at sunset." ”

Immediately, Qin Yu untied the wine bag from his waist, handed it to Zhang Yi, and said, "All my wine collection is in this wine bag, and before I come back, this wine bag will be kept by Mr. ”

"Broken Soul Cliff...... Broken Soul Cliff. Zhang Yi frowned slightly and muttered, as if thinking about something.

Immediately, Zhang Yi suddenly laughed aloud and said: "Blessings and misfortunes are lurking, misfortunes and blessings are lurking!

Qin Yu didn't know why Zhang Yi suddenly laughed, and he was puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

But he saw Zhang Yi take out a leather scroll from his arms and said: "There are cliffs and towering mountains on both sides of Barren Hill City, and everyone in the world thinks that there is no way to go, but they don't know that there are countless narrow and secluded paths. However, the secluded path is tortuous, full of thorns, and there are as many as cow's hair, only one can climb over the dangerous mountain, straight to the territory of Huaguo, and this secluded path is painted on this leather scroll, maybe when you come back, it will be of some use. And this wine bag, Jun still brings it with him, the wine strengthens people's courage, and it is good to drink a few sips before acting. ”

Qin Yu thanked him, although he didn't understand what Zhang Yi said, and he didn't know what the effect of this tortuous, narrow, and steep and thorny path was, but at this time, the sun was about to set, and after Qin Yu thanked Zhang Yi, he didn't have time to think about it, so he went to meet with Ba Dao and others.

The sun had set, and the night covered the land, and a group of sixty-one people, in the westernmost part of Barren Hill City, followed the rope, quietly descended, and then disappeared into the long night.

Sixty black figures, under the guidance of Wei Zheng, bypassed the Duo army camp far away, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to rush straight towards the Broken Soul Cliff.

And after everyone left Barren Hill City, in the main hall of the army, Wei Zhennan was secretly worried about his son, but a black figure suddenly flashed into the main hall, and the dim light illuminated Ling Jiannan's somewhat gloomy face.

......

The night sky in the territory of the Duo Kingdom was clean and clear, and the cold moon was leaning, and the moonlight was cold, illuminating sixty-one rapidly moving figures.

The fifty Chinese soldiers selected were all of the strength of the eighth-rank warrior or above, and their skills were very agile, barely keeping up with the speed of Qin Yu and the others, and it could be seen that they were carefully selected by Wei Zhennan, and such strength was enough to hold the position of commander in the defenders of Barren Hill City.

And Wei Zheng actually has the strength of the peak of a martial artist, in the world, at the age of twenty, it is really not easy to reach such a realm.

"Hehe, Wei Zheng, after coming back from this trip, why don't you go back to Jiuhua Sect with me and join me under the Sword Peak Sect?"

It turned out to be in the main hall of the army today, Wei Zheng volunteered to be brave and not afraid of death, and saw that he had the strength of a martial artist in the world, and his cultivation qualifications were not bad, so the idea of accepting him as an apprentice rose in his heart.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of ecstasy welled up on his face, joining the Jiuhua Sect was something that every cultivator in the Hua Kingdom dreamed of. It's just that Jiuhua Sect recruits disciples, and has never accepted military officials, eunuchs, and royal people, and Wei Zheng, as the son of the main general of Barren Hill City, is naturally among them. Now that Badao wants to accept Wei Zheng as an apprentice, how can he not be excited.

"Wei Zheng paid a visit to the master, and when he returned to the barren hill city, he would make a great gift to the master and apprentice. Wei Zheng said.

Ba Dao nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this newly recruited apprentice.

A group of sixty-one people didn't say much, and quietly hurried towards the Broken Soul Cliff.

At the first watch, the terrain is no longer flat, the bottom ridge is high and hilly, undulating continuously, sixty-one people are not affected by the terrain at all, the speed does not decrease, and they rush away.

At the second watch, everyone finally approached the Broken Soul Cliff.

But I saw a cliff like an upside-down crescent moon, rising from the ground, I don't know how many thousands of zhang, looking up from the bottom of the cliff, as if I could go straight to the cold moon.

Legend has it that if you fall from the top of the cliff, even your soul will be scattered, so it is called the Broken Soul Cliff. Wei Zheng said.

"What a Broken Soul Cliff!" everyone exclaimed in their hearts, not wanting that there would be such a masterpiece in the world.

After a moment's pause, the sixty-one men went to the bottom of the cliff.

Walking to the bottom of the cliff, like a cliff hanging upside down with a crescent, obscuring the moonlight, making the bottom of the cliff pitch black, and even reaching out to see the five fingers, but it is convenient for everyone to hide, which is extremely beneficial for this operation.

Yaochen took out a cloth bag, opened it, and suddenly a fishy smell spread, everyone's stomachs churned, and they hurriedly covered their noses, but saw that Yaochen didn't seem to smell the fishy smell, but took out a black particle from the cloth bag and sprinkled it on the ground.

"What is this?"

"This is the feces of the tiger wolf, the Duo army transports grain and grass, and it must be pulled by more docile animals, and the smell of these tiger and wolf feces can make them frightened and panic, so that we have a chance to intercept it. Yaochen said.

Everyone understood, but they saw Yaochen take out a cloth bag, grab the bottom of the bag, and raise it into the air, and suddenly saw countless green fluorescences floating up, and the breeze blew, blowing the fluorescence into the distance.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Yaochen explained: "This is when I cleaned the powder in the furnace after a failed refining attempt, I found that this powder would glow green in the dark, and I felt interesting, so I collected some. When the Duo army transports grain and grass, it will kick up dust on the ground, and this green glow will attach to the Duo soldiers and the grain trucks so that we can intercept them. ”

Everyone understands it, and they can't help but admire the intelligence of his medicine dust.

It was pitch black under the Broken Soul Cliff, and everyone hid in the darkness, cheering up their spirits and waiting for the arrival of the Duo army.

At the third watch, the sound of wheels turning gradually came from afar!

Everyone was in high spirits, clenching the blades in their hands, the night breeze was slightly cool, but everyone's palms couldn't help oozing a little sweat.

The sound of the wheels turning from far to near became more and more intense, and the ground began to tremble slightly, and countless green fluorescents lined up into a long green dragon, slowly walking towards the Broken Soul Cliff.

The Duo army marched slowly, and everyone's nerves tensed.

"It's coming!" Wei Zheng whispered.

The moonlight was obscured by the inverted crescent-shaped cliff, and it was pitch black under the Broken Soul Cliff, and sixty-one people hid in the dark.

And with the cold moonlight and a little green fluorescence, there is a clear view of the grain Duo army. The grain cart is pulled by an unknown animal that looks like a cow without horns, has a long tail, and has eyes like copper bells.

As soon as the Duo army at the forefront arrived at the foot of the Broken Soul Cliff, this unknown animal smelled the fishy smell of tiger and wolf feces, and immediately raised its hooves and screamed, panicking, and almost wanted to overturn the grain cart. A hissing head immediately caused the other unknown creatures to churn and hiss.

The long army of food carriers came to a standstill in front of the Broken Soul Cliff, and no matter how the Duo soldiers whipped, the unknown cart-pulling creature refused to take a step, and in the middle of the long line, the angry rebuke of the Duo army officers was heard.

"Do it!"

The overlord suddenly shouted, and in an instant, sixty-one figures suddenly swept out of the darkness, the blades were unsheathed, the sword light and sword shadows, flashing with a trace of cold cold, towards the Duo army!
