With a bang, a fireball struck a bright flame under the night sky, and finally landed halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, it was immediately illuminated and transparent.

At this time, there was a sudden shouting of killing from the bottom of the mountain.

In the darkness, I don't know how many people rushed to the hillside shouting directly from the foot of the mountain.

With the help of the illuminated fireballs around them, these people rushed to a distance of more than ten meters at once, but the Tianyin Sect Guards on the top of the mountain did not make the slightest movement, and it was not until they rushed to the point that they were almost halfway up the mountain, and the huge stones and logs fell down one after another.

At this moment, the soldiers halfway up the mountain immediately retreated in an uproar, but this time, the rolling stones and timbers on the top of the mountain did not stop.

It was not until the soldiers on the mountain completely retreated to the foot of the mountain that they completely stopped.

At this time, the fireball on the mountain, in an instant, suddenly extinguished.

The whole mountain suddenly fell into darkness.

"Uncle Wang, why don't you say they completely illuminate the mountain road?" Li Ji stood on the side and looked at Li Xuan with some puzzlement.

If it is said that the Tianyin Sect has illuminated the mountain roads from beginning to end, then no matter how the official army attacks the mountain, there will be no results.

"This shows that they also have people who want to take it." Li Xuan raised his head, looked in the direction of the top of the Black Dragon Ridge, and said softly, "There are also capable people above, the enemy does not see me, I do not see the enemy, many calculations can be carried out."

Pei Xuan, who was standing on the side, immediately bowed his hand and said, "In this way, we won't dare to attack the mountain with all our might, and we need to prevent them from attacking the mountain at night."

"Could it be that you are thinking too much, they simply don't have so many burning things." A calm voice rang out from the side.

Qiu Shenyu, who was wearing a bright light armor, walked out from the side.

"I've seen Qiu Changshi." Everyone present immediately bowed their hands.

Although Qiu Shenqi is now the governor of She, he was a general of Jin Wuwei before, and he was a real fourth-rank official.

Although he has been demoted to the governor of Shezhou for some reason, the holy family is still there, and as long as he returns to the divine capital, he will immediately be a proper center***.

Even if you are directly promoted to a certain state assassin history, it is not impossible.

"What Zhonglang said is reasonable." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Shenqi and arched his hand and said, "But Xiao Wang wants to come, if he really wants to hold on, then he should not give me a chance at all, since he has left a chance, then it means that the other party is also calculating something."

The Tianyin Sect withdrew from Shezhou, and although Shezhou reported to the Central and the rest of the states that they had defeated the Tianyin Sect under the county seat of Beiye, this was not the case at all.

Nowadays, many people know that the Tianyin Sect actually took the initiative to retreat from the North Field.

After taking Kitano, the Tianyin Sect looted all the remaining supplies and ordnance in Kitano before calmly withdrawing from Kitano.

Maybe they were unable to attack Shexian anymore, maybe they saw that behind Shexian, more reinforcements were coming, or maybe the fall of Muzhou made them feel that the road back was in danger, or maybe they got the news that Wen Fuzhi was seriously injured.

For various reasons, the Tianyin Sect evacuated Shezhou.

However, although they evacuated Shezhou, they still have the strength to fight.

What's more, if the current official army is completely defeated by the Tianyin Sect, then they will have the opportunity to re-attack Muzhou and Shezhou.

When the time comes, the whole situation will be completely overturned immediately.

Qiu Shenqi glanced at Li Xuan deeply, and finally nodded silently and said, "What Twenty-Seven Lang said is reasonable, and there is indeed such a possibility."

"It's just a tiny delusion." Li Xuan immediately changed his tone and arched his hand and said, "With Zhonglang General and Duan Dudu in charge, the Tianyin thief Kou will not want to win easily......

Before Li Xuan's words were finished, a sound of footsteps had already been heard in front of him.

Suddenly, I saw twelve soldiers, dressed in black, retreating from the foot of the mountain.

All of them had swords in one hand and shields in the other, and their faces were solemn.

One of them staggered on his left leg and one on his left arm

drooping, obviously injured.

Seeing these people, Qiu Shenqiu's face was suddenly surprised: "There are only twelve people, and there are only twelve people who attacked the mountain just now?"

You know, there were about thirty or fifty people on the hillside just now, but now there are only twelve.

"It's just a bluff." Li Xuan glanced at Qiu Shenxuan, then stepped forward and said solemnly to everyone: "You have worked hard, injured brothers, rest well after you go back, good wine and meat are ready, and ......

Li Xuan turned around and waved his hand to the side, and a huge fireball had been thrown onto the mountainside, and then it burned violently.

"Everyone, you see, on the mountain road today, the strongest and brightest fire is the place where the fireball burns, but the darkest place on the entire mountain road is also at the end of the fire. Li Xuan's voice is very loud, but it also makes people confused.

"Whoa!" Although the many soldiers present did not know why, they still gave up their promises.

Qiu Shenxuan, Li Ji, Pei Xuan and others on the side all had a trace of doubt on their faces, but they all quietly did not ask.

Li Xuan waved his hand lightly, and the twelve sergeants immediately retreated.

At this moment, another dozen sergeants came up from the rear, the same sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

Li Xuan turned to look at Pei Xuan on the side, and said in a deep voice, "After half an hour, continue to attack the mountain."

"Whoa!" Pei Xuan immediately agreed.

Li Xuan nodded, turned to look at Qiu Shenxuan, and arched his hand: "General Zhonglang, the lower official still has something to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"The king of Nanchang will go by himself." Qiu Shenqi glanced at Li Xuan solemnly, and Li Xuan immediately retreated.

The crowd around them immediately dispersed, leaving only the twelve sergeants waiting.

At this time, Huai Jin walked to Qiu Shenqi's side and said in a low voice, "Brother Qiu, how do you think that the tired tactics of the King of Nanchang are different from those used by us."

The strategy of exhausting the army is not a very clever strategy, but it is a yang strategy.

There are many people who see through it, just like now, whether it is on the mountain, or up and down, there are many people who have seen through Li Xuan's strategy and conspiracy, and have also adopted relative coping methods, but there is still a lot of energy involved in it.

"The king of Nanchang will definitely attack the mountain tomorrow night." Qiu Shenqi said it very firmly.

Huai Jin, who was standing on the side, was not the slightest surprised, nodded approvingly and said, "This is natural, but he will definitely not attack the mountain so simply and recklessly, there must be other strange things in this."

The king of Nanchang was treacherous, and such an impression had already spread to the ears of every soldier in the entire battalion with the rumors that had quietly risen.

Qiu Shenqi sighed lightly, turned to look at the fireball that was about to burn out on the hillside, and his face became serious: "Beyond the firelight, it is the darkest...... I'm afraid that the king of Nanchang just wants to take advantage of the darkness beyond this firelight, and attack the mountain abruptly in an unexpected place where the Tianyin Sect Priest above, and then take the top of the mountain in one fell swoop, then there will be a steady stream of soldiers attacking the mountain."

"It's kind of wonderful, but it should be more than that." Huai Jin thought about it, looked at Qiu Shenyu, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qiu, why don't I wait for a trial, if I can succeed, the sons and daughters can also make more contributions."

Qiu Shenwei looked at Huai Jin with a surprised face: "Brother Huai, when will your greed for merit be changed, if you are not careful, your brother will be defeated and retreat in the future, and it will harm the plan of the king of Nanchang, and Duan Dudu will pick your skin."

"It won't be." Although Huai Jin said so, he was already sure in his heart that it would be so.

Once Duan Baoxuan is really angry, the cramps and skins are light, and he is even likely to behead him on the spot.

After all, as the commander of the counterinsurgency, Duan Baoxuan has this right.

Even if it's time to hold him accountable for mishandling, but a cut is a cut.

As soon as his mind turned, a plan immediately popped up in Huai Jin's mind: "Brother Qiu, as long as I don't wait to do this, I can find it."

The rest of him, let him charge ahead, and we will follow closely...... In case of failure, Duan Dudu will pursue it, throw him out, or let him die on the battlefield early......

In the middle of a few words, a sinister plan has taken shape.

"You, don't think more about this crooked way." Qiu Shenqi glanced at Huai Jin angrily, and then turned around and walked away.

Seeing Qiu Shenqi's action, Huai Jin immediately knew that he agreed with his opinion.

As soon as he turned around, Huai Jin also went to get busy.

Li Xuan, who was in the distance, suddenly looked at the backs of the two, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At dawn, the sun behind him was shining straight above the peak.

Under the thousand-foot peak, Li Xuan looked up at the peak above his head.

No one saw it, and in front of his eyes, two raised flakes of water overlapped.

The last fireball on his side was thrown high, and finally landed directly on the mountainside, making a "pop" sound.

There was immediately a burst of laughter from the summit, and at this moment, there were not even rolling stones and sassal trees.

Bowing his head slightly, Li Xuan whispered, "Two hundred and thirty meters."

It is 300 feet lower than a thousand feet.

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, looked sideways at the catapult on the side, thought for a moment, and nodded.

The arm bars of the catapult had to be lengthened.

However, it is not possible to lengthen all of them at once, and it has to be lengthened slowly in batches.

At this time, a steady footstep sounded beside Li Xuan, Li Xuan retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look, and saw that Du Du Baoxuan, with a team of personal soldiers, had already walked not far away.

"Governor!" Li Xuan hurriedly saluted.

A group of craftsmen around him saluted, "I have seen the Governor."

"Let's all get busy." Duan Baoxuan waved everyone away casually, then looked at Li Xuan, and asked with some curiosity, "I heard that you led someone to practice all night!"

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded seriously, then glanced at the catapult and said, "There is still some preparation for the time being, but by tonight, the preparation should be almost there."

"Hmm!" Duan Baoxuan replied casually, then walked past Li Xuan's side, looked at the twelve catapults neatly placed on one side, and whispered, "Let your people, bring these catapults down, this place will be used by the governor."

"Whoa!" Li Xuan immediately gave up.

Anyway, he used up this place today.

Watching Li Xuan and his craftsmen bring down this batch of catapults, followed by another batch of catapults.

Duan Baoxuan, as the governor of Yuezhou, inspected the left army of the army and the general of Wei, and the craftsmen under his command were much more than Li Xuan could have imagined.

Watching the craftsmen properly place the catapults one by one, Duan Baoxuan turned sideways to look at Yao Zhi: "It seems that the rumors in the court that the king of Nanchang is proficient in the art of ordnance manufacturing are true, there are so many people in the entire camp, and the one who chooses the best location for the catapult is actually the king of Nanchang."

Yao Zhi stepped forward slightly and said in a low voice: "From the perspective of his subordinates, the King of Nanchang is not proficient in any battle and killing at all, what he is best at is the Heavenly Aspect and the skills of craftsmen, in addition, plus a little ability to see through people's hearts."

"Hmm!" Duan Baoxuan nodded subconsciously, then reacted, and turned his head to look at Yao Zhi, his face full of playfulness.
