The night was dark, and before I knew it, it was past five o'clock.

Li Xuan stood beside a neat row of catapults, dressed in black and armor, almost blending in with the night.

Turning around, Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu behind him, and whispered, "Call all the generals up, in addition, strictly order, no additional fire is allowed, and no too much movement is allowed."

"Whoa!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately gave up his hand, then turned around and walked away.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the mountainside in the distance.

It was pitch black now, and nothing could be seen.

However, no one knew that in the second half of the night, just half an hour before, hundreds of black soldiers had been lurking on the mountainside, and were crawling forward with great caution.

A cadre of Heavenly Yin Sect soldiers on the top of the mountain didn't notice the slightest abnormality at all.

All night, the fireballs that were launched every half an hour had already illuminated all the movement on the hillside for them, and they had no idea that when they were waiting for the most sleepy, the killing machine had already come.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at the east, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the east would turn white and the sky would shine.

Once the sky is bright, no matter what kind of conspiracy there is, it will be completely exposed in front of people's eyes.

So no one thought that Li Xuan would take advantage of the fact that the sky was about to light up for a quarter of an hour to take down the entire Black Dragon Ridge.

Only a quarter of an hour.

Soon, Duan Baoxuan, Qiu Shenxuan, Huai Jin, Xue Qianfeng and others had already led their respective personal soldiers to rush over.

Duan Baoxuan's spirit was very good, because he slept very early last night.

Li Xuan said that it would take one day and two nights, so he would definitely use up the time for one day and two nights.

"Governor, please give the order, the whole army will quietly reassemble, and after half an hour, the whole army will attack the mountain and take the Black Dragon Ridge in one fell swoop." Li Xuan's expression was solemn, and his voice was very deep, but when he heard it, he had a feeling of special trust.

"Sima, execute the order." Duan Baoxuan waved his hand directly, and Sima Yaozhi immediately gave it up, and then turned around to make arrangements.

The people who can be in the camp now, even if they are not the elite soldiers of Huiji Mansion and Huangshan Mansion, are all elite soldiers transferred from various states.

Soon all the soldiers began to dress and take their weapons, and in the dark, they began to form a group.

There is no need for others to say anything at all, just looking at tonight's movements, everyone understands that the capture of Black Dragon Ridge is now.

A quarter of an hour later, a ray of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and Li Xuan did not hesitate at all.

The right hand was raised high, and the next moment it fell with a bang.

The catapult pole on one side immediately slid out and locked tightly.

In the next moment, a group of soldiers had already placed more than a dozen grass balls in the throwing frame, and the artillery quickly ignited the grass balls.

But for some reason, although the inside of the grass ball burned violently, when it burned outside, the flames quickly dimmed.

With a "whoosh", the grass ball was already thrown out.

The wind made the spark blazing, and everyone on the side of the trebuchet could already smell a thick smoke.

"Poison Smoke Ball?" Huai Jin immediately couldn't help but say it.

Li Xuan didn't even look at him, his eyes followed the fireball, and fell heavily on the mountainside eighty meters above.

The fireball landed there with a "pop", and the smoke immediately dispersed.

The strong west wind in the early morning has blown the smoke down deeply in the blink of an eye.

In the darkness of the night, the smoke has completely dispersed on the mountain road.

At this moment, the hundred black-clothed soldiers on the mountainside had already begun to rush forward quickly and silently.

On the top of the mountain, a soldier with a torch looked down the mountain, and more than a dozen fireballs with fire had smashed on the top of the mountainside, but this time it seemed that the flames were blown out by the wind and did not burn at all.

At this time, in the distance, red light began to appear, piercing into the bottom of the eye, and the attention of the Tianyin soldiers was immediately attracted.

As if his whole mind froze for a moment, the soldier glanced at the horizon in the distance, then turned and turned back to the rear.

At this time, Li Xuan glared at Huai Jin on the side, and said in a cold voice, "Captain Huaidu, let your men set off immediately."

Huai Jin was slightly stunned, but as soon as his eyes rolled, he thought that he had trained a cadre of soldiers according to Li Xuan's method yesterday, and now he finally understood how these people were going to be used.

"Captain Huaidu." At this time, Duan Baoxuan turned to look at Huai Jin.

Huai Jin didn't dare to slack off, his face twitched, and he immediately gave up his hand and quickly arranged it.

"Half an hour later, everyone will attack the mountain together." Li Xuan looked up at Duan Baoxuan again, Duan Baoxuan nodded immediately, and then looked at Qiu Shenxuan, Xue Qianfeng and the others present, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you waiting to do here, go back to each department, and attack the mountain in half an hour."

"Whoa!" The low voices of the crowd immediately sounded.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan again, and saw that Li Xuan actually went to operate the first-class catapult in person.

The final shot slipped out, and a ball of smoke was thrown out.

With a huge arc, the smoke ball smashed the Black Dragon Ridge, which was only more than twenty meters away from the top of the mountain.

Smoke suddenly dispersed over the top of the mountain.

At this moment, more Heavenly Yin Sect Guards were attracted over, and many people leaned out to see what was going on.

But at this moment, the eastern sky glowed with intense white light.

For a while, everyone's eyeliner became extremely narrow.

It was at this time that more smoke balls were thrown up from the bottom of the mountain.

"Papapapa", which keeps falling not far from the top of the mountain.

This time, as if desperate, the smoke balls fell quickly.

The sight of everyone on the top of the mountain was disturbed by the big sun, but they all clearly saw that there were puffs of smoke coming out of the smoke ball, and then spread down the mountain with the wind, and what was on the mountain road could not be seen at all, and they could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a black shadow moving in the smoke.

What are the officers and soldiers doing, they are smoking themselves, but what's the point of doing this?

"Oh no, they're taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the mountain." One of the team leaders' faces suddenly changed, and he shouted coldly to his subordinates, "Hurry up and throw down the rolling stones and sandalwood!"

After speaking, the team leader immediately strode to the side, and then sounded the alarm bell hanging on the side.

"Boom" sounded, and in an instant, the alarm bell had sounded on the top of the mountain, and countless sleeping soldiers woke up at this moment.

The moment they woke up, they had already grasped the hilt of the knife.

The Tianyin team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked down the mountain again, and at this moment, a black crossbow arrow immediately shot out of the smoke, and then slammed into the throat of the team leader.

Blood gushed out.

At the moment when the Tianyin team fell to the ground, he clearly saw that countless black-clothed officers and soldiers were just grabbing a long knife, and they were killed from the smoke, and they had already rushed to the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that groups of soldiers had rushed to the top of the mountain, Li Xuan stopped projecting the smoke ball in an instant.

Slightly relieved, he looked sideways to the side, and saw that only Duan Baoxuan, Yao Zhi, Li Ji, Qiu Zhenmu and Yu Ze, as well as some other civilian officials, were still standing on one side, and the others who were originally here were gone.

They had all gone up to the top of the hill.

Duan Baoxuan's gaze kept staring at the top of the mountain, and when he noticed the stop of the fireball projection, he turned his head, looked at Li Xuan, and nodded with satisfaction: "One day and two nights, the virtuous nephew said this, and this governor admires."

"The governor has a good reputation." Li Xuan hurriedly arched his hand, raised his gaze, looked at the top of the mountain, and said softly, "By now, there shouldn't be any repetition, right?"

"It should be so." Duan Baoxuan shook his head and said softly, "We all know that before dawn is the most dangerous, but after the first time is unharmed, the second time will naturally relax their vigilance, and with the help of other means, even if they want to react, they can't react."

The nerves of the Heavenly Yin Sect collapsed too

Tight, since Li Xuan's arrival, he has hardly stopped attacking for two days and two nights.

The sound of the day is huge, and the darkness of the night is mysterious.

On the first day, before dawn, it was still strong, and by dawn on the second day, even the captain on night duty didn't know where to hide.

The weakness of human nature, coupled with the glare of the dawn of the day, obscured all the smoke, and lurked the soldiers on the mountainside in advance.

In one breath, they successfully rushed to the top of the mountain in a very short time.

"It's only a momentary opportunity, and if you can't rush it, it's in vain." Li Xuan raised his head, the heavy smoke gradually dissipated, and he could clearly see Qiu Shenqi rushing to the front, and others like Huai Jin and Xue Qianfeng were relatively slow.

Especially Huaijin, his left arm was injured, and the speed of rushing to the mountain was very fast at first, but it didn't take long for it to slow down quickly.

Xue Qianfeng is the same, he is faster than Huaijin, but his speed is limited.

On the contrary, it was Qiu Shenxuan, who rushed up with all his might.

An extremely sharp black lance was held in his hand, and the strong momentum made the soldiers in front unconsciously give way.

"If you don't go up and try it." Duan Baoxuan's voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuan's ears.

Li Xuan, who was observing Qiu Shenqiu's combat power, suddenly came back to his senses, and then shook his head and said, "If Zhonglang is there, the little nephew will not sacrifice ......."

Before Li Xuan finished speaking, he heard a "ding", and a crisp impact sound came from the top of the mountain.

Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan raised their heads at the same time, and suddenly saw the edge of the mountain in the distance, Qiu Shenqi stepped on the top of the mountain with one foot, and the other foot was still hanging in the air, and in front of him, a half-zhang long knife slashed directly at the chest, but it blocked the long lance.

The long knife that was more than half a zhang immediately attracted Li Xuan's attention.

This kind of knife is not something that ordinary people can use.

The long knife slashed down in an instant, and with a swipe, it had already slashed fiercely into Qiu Shenyu's waist and abdomen.

At this moment, Qiu Shenqi slammed his foot backwards, and in a blink of an eye, he had already avoided the blade that was slashing over.

The long lance in his hand has stabbed the opponent's chest like a poisonous dragon, and the speed is incredible.

With a sound of "dang", the long knife slammed upward, and slashed the long lance aside with all his strength.

But at this moment, Qiu Shenyu's feet had all collapsed on the top of the mountain.

In an instant, his whole person had already rushed forward fiercely, with the long lance in front of him, and the person hiding behind the lance, calm and fierce.

The owner of the long knife on the opposite side could only retreat.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Qiu Shenqi is a general of Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, and he was a general of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang before, and his strength is extraordinary.

Although he is harsh, his strength is second only to the Sixteen Guards General in the center, and he is not even weaker than him.

This is also the reason why the emperor sent her to Shezhou.

Once he's on the top, it's hard to get anyone to knock him down.

"Governor, who was that guy just now?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at Duan Baoxuan, that person was the biggest enemy who was holding them back in the Black Dragon Ridge.

"Fang Qianshan, it is said that he is the cousin of Fang Fengjin and Fang Yunxiu."

"A thousand mountains are beautiful." A trace of coldness flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and he thought lightly in his heart: "It turned out to be the enemy!"

"Governor! I'm afraid I'll have to go there." Li Xuan arched his hand at Duan Baoxuan, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Go ahead!" Duan Baoxuan glanced up at the peak, then nodded.

"Thank you, Governor!" Li Xuan bowed slightly, and the next moment, he had already rushed directly towards the peak.

Behind him, Li Zhu, Qiu Zhenmu, and more than 20 Qianniu guards immediately rushed forward.

Li Xuan's footsteps rushed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already rushed halfway up the mountain, and even crossed Huaijin and Xue Qianfeng.

Along the way, Li Xuan stared at the peak, at this moment he could no longer see Fang Qianshan's figure, he could only keep silently reciting in his heart: "Fang Qianshan, you must be more angry, don't be killed by Qiu Shenqi first

……」

There was a "bang" sounding abruptly above Li Xuan's head.

A figure in black and gold armor was smashed directly into the air, and then fell fiercely towards the mountainside.

That person is Qiu Shenqiu.
