Under Meiling Pass, the fire soared into the sky.

A group of black pawns with knives and guns quickly retreated towards the city gate.

Behind them, a group of cavalry pursued and killed closely, from time to time geese to plunder, and from time to time to strangle left and right.

Under the firelight, one of the black pawns kept falling to the ground, and finally, four or five black pawns turned around at the same time and desperately killed the cavalry.

The long knife in his hand stabbed directly into the horse's neck.

But at this moment, two Thousand Niu Knives stepped forward at the same time, directly holding the long knife that stabbed them, and then, the two Thousand Niu Knives slashed down directly, and one of the heads had already flown up.

"Poof" five sounds, and the five black pawns fell directly to the ground.

Immediately, blood flowed quickly in the dirt.

Looking at the black pawn who had entered the city gate, Qianniuwei whistled, and in the blink of an eye, he had already ridden back and left.

The city gate closed, and Zuo Fei leaned against the city gate all of a sudden, and the whole person was paralyzed there as if he had lost all his strength.

"It doesn't matter what hurts you." Zhang Wanyu took Ye Wanwan and He Qing'er, quickly looked over, glanced at the long arrow stuck in Zuo Fei's left shoulder, and immediately waved his hand to ask his medical officer to treat his injuries.

"I thought that their archers had already gone to rest, but I didn't expect that there were still people." Zuo Fei gritted his teeth, a look of resentment.

"It's just a few, there are more people than us to guard against our night raids, so don't care." Zhang Wanyu saw through the trickiness behind this at a glance.

At dusk last night, Wuzhou sent people to launch another strong attack.

This time, however, even the archers retreated to a secondary position, and the catapults began to wield.

The round stone was smashed directly on the city wall, behind the female wall, inside the closed city, I don't know how many people died because of it.

Under the constant bombardment, no one in the city could be at peace.

Zhang Wanyu was right, Li Xuan was indeed doing a strategy of exhaustion, but they had no way to stop it.

Even if he saw through Li Xuan's plan, he was still helpless.

After a little discussion, Zuo Fei had already led people out of the city, trying to destroy those catapults.

However, as expected, the cavalry came out at this time, and after a fight, they were forced back by their respective archers.

Not only do archers draw their bows longer, but their bows and arrows are damaged, and even their own arms are strained.

In addition, the vision is limited at night, so a real archer will not shoot casually at night unless it is necessary.

Because they themselves know best how terrifying the archers lurking in the darkness are once they start hunting.

Tonight, Zuo Fei led people out three or four times in a row, but each time he was killed by the cavalry when he was approaching the catapult.

But this time, they had a different calculation.

"Then we'll ...... tonight" Zuo Fei looked at Zhang Wanyu with a solemn look on his face.

This time, the reason why he risked losing his troops was that he also rushed out to kill.

On the one hand, it is because the catapults did have a great influence on the hearts of the people in the city, and on the other hand, because they have other calculations.

"Let's go, just the four of us tonight, and we will immediately enter the northwest of Zhuge Town, where the creek must be the place where the cavalry drink water." Zhang Wanyu pointed out the biggest point of the cavalry in one sentence.

That's their horse.

People can not eat or drink, but horses can't, if the horse does not drink water for a long time, it is easy to be irritable and irritable, so it is necessary to give the war horse water every once in a while.

Find the drinking place of the war horses, then they will immediately have a chance to completely destroy these war horses.

"Now after this battle, they will retreat temporarily," Zuo Fei changed his clothes, and even the arrow wound on his shoulder was removed.

"It's time for the horses to drink." Zhang Wanyu looked at a Tsing Yi stableman standing not far away, and the stableman nodded solemnly.

Zhang Wanyu smiled faintly, then looked at Zuo Fei and said: "Don't worry, there will be no mistake in the location, as long as this batch of war horses is poisoned, then the combat power possessed by the King of Nanchang will immediately be only half, and at that time, we will be condescending, and our advantage will be greater." ”

"Let's go!" He Qing'er only said one word, and her eyes were already as sharp as a blade.

Zhang Wanyu finally looked at Ye Wanwan, Ye Wanwan nodded, and said: "Arrange the things in the pass first, lest we just set off on the front foot, and the people on the back foot will knock down the Meiling Pass." ”

"The saint has a point." Zhang Wanyu immediately nodded solemnly, this is Lao Cheng's words.

Zuo Fei immediately called his deputy, and after making detailed arrangements, the four of them quietly sneaked out of the back of the pass, and then climbed quickly towards the peak on the east side.

All of them are masters.

For the peaks that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, for them, although it is not as smooth as walking on the ground, it is not so difficult.

Half an hour later, the four men had already crossed the peak, and then descended silently from the east side of the peak.

……

In the dense jungle, Zuo Fei cautiously looked around to make sure that there was no hidden sentry in this dense forest, so he beckoned to the back.

Ye Wanwan, Zhang Wanyu, He Qing'er, the three of them quickly caught up from behind.

The four of them only made eye contact, and then rushed towards the outside of the dense forest.

When they came to the avenue beyond the dense forest, the four of them stopped at the same time.

"The road over there leads to Zhitang Town, and there is also a road that leads to Muzhou, but the road is rugged and difficult, the road is steep and steep, ordinary soldiers don't lose one-third, they can't pass at all, and if nothing else, the king of Nanchang has already made arrangements there. Once something happens, the cavalry can be killed in a blink of an eye, and then a tired soldier who has just crossed the mountains and mountains, facing the elite cavalry, the consequences can be imagined. Zuo Fei gradually calmed down at this time, but his fear of cavalry became stronger and stronger.

"Let's go, get this cavalry first." Zhang Wanyu didn't say anything more, and directly crossed the avenue and headed towards Jinxi in the southeast.

Jinxi flows down from the Daofeng Mountain on the northeast side, goes west along the mountain to Zhuge Town, and then bypasses Zhuge Town and heads east to join the Lanjiang River.

If you follow Jinxi, you can go straight to Zhuge Town.

It is precisely because of this that the creek became a temporary resting place for the cavalry.

I don't know how long it took, but the left, who was walking in the front, stopped violently.

Ye Wanwan, who fell a little later, slipped out two short swords from his hanging hands.

Zhang Wanyu and He Qinger are the same.

The sword dance technique of the goddess of the Tianyin Sect is first-class even if you look at the whole world.

"No one!" Two words suddenly popped out of Zuo Fei's mouth, and the three people behind him quickly flew to his side.

At a glance, everyone saw an open area in front of them, flanked by dense grass, with a straight avenue on one side and a suddenly wide stream on the other.

The news that originally flowed quietly reached the front area, and the water surface suddenly became wider, and the grass with a length of 100 meters was exactly the favorite place for the cavalry to rest and put their horses.

"When was it poisoned?" He Qing'er stared at the stream below.

"Not right now." Zhang Wanyu looked at the surface of the stream, frowned slightly, and said: "Although the flow rate of the stream is not very fast, it is definitely not slow, unless we have enough poison to keep it down, otherwise soon the poison will be completely washed away, and after a bad night, it will arrive at the Lanjiang River." ”

While speaking, Zhang Wanyu took out a blue porcelain bottle from her arms, and said with a slightly trembling hand: "This bottle of poison is very strong, as long as it is poured into the stream, it will kill people and horses in a while...... However, it is precisely because the medicine is too poisonous that small fish in the stream, or cattle and sheep in the free-range, once drunk, will die immediately, and it is easy to find the problem. ”

"Then wait!" Zuo Fei looked at the dark night sky above his head, and said directly: "Wait, they will always come." ”

After Zuo Fei finished speaking, Ye Wanwan had already taken a little footsteps, and retreated directly to the depths of the dense forest, sitting under a tree, closing his eyes and waiting quietly.

……

Zhuge Town, Li Xuan stood at the entrance of the town, looked at Qiu Zhenmu and the others who came back, and said with a gentle smile: "Qianniuwei will rest tonight, the horses have all prepared water and forage, and tomorrow I will wait for the brothers to show their might." ”

"The last general obeys!" Qiu Zhenmu seriously bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and then led his subordinates and walked quickly towards the village.

"Lord Wang!" Yan Tao appeared behind Li Xuan.

"Let your cavalry go to protect Feng Shen's army, if no one kills out of the city, then everything will be ignored, and the forage supply and drinking water supply will all return to the village, now in wartime, no one knows where they will be poisoned by others." Li Xuan commanded with a faint expression.

"The last general obeys!" Yan Tao showed a trace of gratitude on his face.

He is a veteran of the battlefield, and the precautions on these battlefields are far from being comparable to Qiu Zhenmu's sons and brothers in the two capitals.

"Go ahead!" As soon as Li Xuan waved his hand, Yan Tao immediately took his cavalry to Meiling Pass.

After arranging everything, Li Xuan looked behind him and said in a low voice: "Order, the daily drinking water must be taken from the well, and the water in the stream outside the village must be tried with chickens before it is allowed to be used by people. ”

"Obey!" Li Zhu walked out of the darkness and arched his hand at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and then walked towards his courtyard by himself.

In the dark expectation, Li Xuan looked up to the northeast.

He knew that they were there, but tonight, Li Xuan had no intention of leading his troops to strangle them.

The entire Meiling Pass is a place used by Li Xuan to train troops.

In the future, they will inevitably have to face the siege of thousands of members of the Tianyin Sect.

If they can't take advantage of this time to have a good understanding of the key points that need to be paid attention to in attacking and defending the city, then once the Muzhou army arrives, what they need to pay is the bloody price of their lives.

……

Before you know it, the sky will be bright.

Ye Wanwan, who had been sitting in the tree and resting all night, opened his eyes violently.

She turned around and looked at Zhang Wanyu on the side, and Zhang Wanyu also opened her eyes at the same time.

The two men looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity.

Zhang Wanyu was the first to stand up and walked to the edge of the dense forest, where Zuo Fei and He Qing'er were still staring deadly, their eyes red.

"Alright, it's time for us to go back, they're not coming." Zhang Wanyu's words sealed the failure of tonight's operation.

"I ......" Zuo Fei wanted to wait a little longer, but looked at the white sky in the east, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He Qing'er stepped forward at this time: "Hall Master, I don't know if I can throw the poison directly into it, even if I can't kill the cavalry, poison three or ......three of them."

With a "snap", a slap was slapped on He Qing'er's face.

Looking at He Qing'er's unbelievable eyes, Zhang Wanyu said coldly: "We are humans, not animals. ”

After saying a word, Zhang Wanyu turned around and left.

Ye Wanwan glanced at He Qing'er coldly, and then followed closely.

At this time, a hand was pressed on He Qing'er's shoulder, and it was Zuo Fei.

Zuo Fei looked at He Qing'er and said comfortingly: "Don't care, even if it is a violent poison, if it is put into such a stream, I am afraid that it will be diluted. ”

"Perhaps!" He Qing'er lowered her head slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

……

Half an hour later, the four of them returned to Meiling Pass.

However, before Zuo Fei could inquire about the situation, a violent drumming sound came from the front of the pass.

The four of them looked at each other, their eyes full of nervousness.

There was no time to say anything, so the four of them hurried up to the city wall, and then they saw hundreds of soldiers lined up two hundred meters away.

At the front of everyone, riding on a tall horse, wearing black fish scale armor and holding a sharp lance, it was Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, who had disappeared all day.
