Chapter 98: Surprise Attack on Erlong Mountain

Sure enough, Cai Jing had a big face, and on the third day, Lin Chong received a notice that he was promoted several levels from the head of the eight-rank sect to the captain of the sixth-grade school, and was transferred to the post of chief catcher under the Tongzhi of the Fengfu Mansion.

The next day, Zhao Chongyang told Uncle Zhang that Cai Jing was going out on an errand by himself, and handed over the daily affairs to Old Man Wang, leaving Pang Wanchun to manage the errand soldiers, bringing two hundred people out of the special training camp to catch fast, and sent two people to keep an eye on Gao Yanei, in case he harmed Lin Chong's wife. At the same time, two messages were sent in succession, one asking Fang Tianjie and his wife to hand over the business business to Lu Junyi and Jia's family, and take 100 people to Liujiaji, not far from Erlong Mountain, to wait. Let Tangyin County select 300 soldiers from the special training camp, led by Yan Qing, and prepare for departure, Zhao Chongyang and they will go to Erlong Mountain together when they pass through Xiangzhou.

In late July, Zhao Chongyang led Lin Chong, Wu Song, Shi Qian, Qiu Qionghu, Yan Qing, Pang Qiuxia, and Fang Baihua to meet with Fang Tianjie and his wife at Liu's house. Liujiaji is in the northwest of Erlong Mountain, twenty miles away from Erlong Mountain. At three o'clock in the morning that day, the group quietly set off from Liujiaji. Shi Qian and others have inquired clearly, and they have a total of ten generals, with 600 cavalry, riding the moonlight of the unstringed moon, quietly advancing on the mountain road to Erlong Mountain.

Erlongshan is not bad within a radius of 100 miles, as long as the nearby villages pay money and grain, they will not harm them, when the convoy of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce passed through this area, Zhou Tong and Li Zhong also led people to stop and rob twice, and were shot away by the Wantong Chamber of Commerce with a burst of crossbows, and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce did not take them seriously, so they did not take the opportunity to destroy this cottage.

Twenty miles of road, although the mountain road is slow, it is only a little more than an hour and a quarter to arrive. They hid their horses in the woods at the foot of the mountain, arranged for a platoon of 50 soldiers to guard the horses, and the rest went lightly. When he arrived at the bottom of the cliff of the cottage, Zhao Chongsaw that there was only one single road leading to the cottage, and there were cliffs all around. The gate has been closed, and there are still minions keeping vigil on the upper floor of the gate.

Shi Qian, Qiu Qionghu, and Yan Qing found out the flying claws and other mountaineering tools and began to take people to climb the mountain. Shi Qian saw a big tree growing out of a crack in the rocks halfway up the mountainside, so he took out his flying claws and shook them, and the flying claws flew over the trunk, circled the tree twice, and wrapped around the trunk. Shi Qian pulled hard a few times, and found that it was very tightly entangled, he pulled the trunk of the tree and flew up quickly, and then Qiu Qionghu and the two soldiers also climbed up. Shi Qian took another flying claw from his waist, and clawed another pair of trees five or six meters away from the slope, and after trying to stabilize it, he fastened this side to a large branch, and began to climb another big tree, at this time they were only four or five meters away from the platform where the cottage was located. At this time, Qionghu handed a flying claw to Shi Qian, Shi Qian flicked violently, the flying claw flew onto the platform, clawed the rock or mud on it, and Shi Qian used the pull of the flying rope to climb the cliff at once.

After the time moved up, the flying claws were re-strengthened, and then Qiu Qionghu and Yan Qingdao also climbed up one after another. Qionghu and others took out the flying claws and tied them to the tree, added a few climbing ropes, more than ten minutes later, 100 soldiers all climbed the cliff, everyone put away the flying claw ropes, and quietly touched the front village under the leadership of the times.

At this time, it was not yet five o'clock in the morning, and more than a dozen soldiers of the night watch on the wall of the wall had already slept to death. Qiu Qionghu led people to quietly touch it and set them all to sleep. The time shifted with people to put some inevitable incense in the barracks everywhere.

Yan Qing led people to open the gate of the cottage, and Lin Chong, Wu Song, Fang Tianjie and others rushed into the cottage with soldiers outside the village. Zhao Chongyang asked everyone to wait a little longer, and only after the incense had taken effect did he rush in to get someone.
