As the two hundred men marched cautiously through the Tiger and Leopard Gorge, one soldier did not notice it, stepped on a loose rock under his feet, and with a loud noise, the whole person slid downward. Everyone shouted in surprise, but it was too late to rescue, seeing his body crash through the weeds of the branches and leaves below, and fell into the abyss! A terrible shout came from far below, and it took a few moments before it disappeared! Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help but change color.

Tongga advised: "This place is very dangerous, everyone must be careful! ”

Ye Kui couldn't help but say, "I think this place is much more dangerous than Eagle's Beak Rock!" Tongga said: "Although it is dangerous here, where can it be compared with the eagle's beak rock!" Ye Kui only felt incredulous.

The group continued to move forward, and what had just happened happened to everyone, and everyone was extra careful. There was no danger along the way, and I passed through the Tiger and Leopard Gorge. The crowd had to stop, because they were cut off by a cliff that cut through the walls. Looking up, I saw that it stood abruptly not far from the cliff, forming a mountain by itself, and the tiger and leopard gorge on this side did not want to connect at all, as if it was close at hand, but the abyss in front of it was three or four zhang wide, and it was impossible for people to fly across.

Yekui asked Tongga, "How do you get to the eagle's beak rock on the other side?" Tongga shook his head and said, "I can't go!" ”

Ye Kui stuck his head out of the cliff and looked at it, only to see that the clouds were surrounded by mist, and there were faint vines crisscrossing him, which was really unfathomable! I only felt dizzy and quickly shrank back.

Ye Kui smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm really worried!" In such a place, not to mention people, even apes can't come up! Tongga said: "There are a lot of such rumors among the people, almost all of them are drunk and talking nonsense by some idlers who have nothing to do!" Ye Kui nodded and said, "Go back." Then he turned and returned, and the people followed.

At dusk, a young man who looked like a medicine farmer led more than a dozen Ming soldiers through the deep mountains and dense forests.

The sun had not yet set completely, but it was already very dark in the mountains. The roar of tigers and leopards and the howls of wild wolves echo in the mountains and forests from time to time, which is terrifying.

The group came to the foot of a majestic mountain that reached into the sky. The man who led the way pointed to the big mountain in front of him and said: "Climb up from here, the road is very steep, everyone must step on the firm foot and grasp it firmly before you can take a step up!" Remember! Otherwise, if you don't die, you'll have to go to half a life! So saying, he turned and went into the deep mountains. The soldiers looked up and saw that the swarthy mountains covered most of the sky, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. With a wave of his hand, the officer who led the team led the sergeants into the mountain, using both hands and feet, stepping on the ground densely covered with large and small stones, and firmly grasping the vines and tree trunks with their palms to climb up, which was very difficult!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and one of the soldiers let out an exclamation. Everyone was taken aback, and they all followed the sound, and vaguely saw a soldier holding a vine with both hands, and the whole person was hanging there, and the situation was very dangerous. The officer shouted urgently: "Save him!" The two soldiers who had leaned in had already leaned in, each dragging the soldier with one hand, and the soldier was relieved of his feet with the help of his companions.

The officer breathed a sigh of relief and shouted angrily: "How did you do it? Be careful! ”

The soldier gasped, "Boss, this armor weapon is too much of a hindrance!" ”

The medicine farmer who led the way returned to the officer's side and said, "General, you can't do this, this section of the road is still easy to walk, but it is even more dangerous when you get to the top!" Throw away your armor and weapons! ”

The officer thought for a moment and raised his voice; "Go down first." The group then returned to the flatter ground below. The officer told everyone to take off all their armor and tie their weapons to their backs, leaving two soldiers to guard the armor in place, while the others continued to climb with climbing equipment such as hooks.

This time, everyone felt much more relaxed, all the way over the mountain, through a babbling canyon with a small stream, to the bottom of the eagle's beak rock. Looking up, I saw the strange-shaped boulder on the top of the mountain standing in a row with the bright moon, like a monster entrenched in the sky.

Yao Nong pointed above and said, "From here, you will go up to the Tiger and Leopard Gorge, and through the Tiger and Leopard Gorge is the main peak." The soldiers couldn't help but show excitement, and then under the guidance of the medicine farmer, they used the lock hook to slowly climb up the cliff. The speed is very slow, looking from a distance, it looks like a few small spiders swinging in mid-air, during which the danger is indescribable, but fortunately, there is no danger, and there is no accident.

The group climbed to a point where they were still some distance from the summit. The medicine farmer pointed to the opposite side and said, "We're going to climb over the vine." ”

The officer looked in the direction of the medicine farmer's finger, and saw that there were many thick vines connected between the cliff on this side of the eagle's beak rock and the cliff opposite, and there was a small platform faintly on the opposite cliff.

The medicine farmer acted first, and the whole person was lying on the vine, moving his hands and feet slowly forward.

The officer glanced down, and saw that it was dim and dark, as if it were an endless abyss. Although the officers had been war-torn for a long time and their nerves had already been exercised like iron and steel, they still couldn't help but feel a tingling in their scalps. Settle your mind and say to the following; "Be careful!" Immediately, he also learned the appearance of the medicine farmer, lying on the vine with his hands and feet and crawling over slowly. All the soldiers followed, not daring to look down, but only at their companions in front of them, and with all their strength they clung to the vines and crawled slowly. The mountain wind blew, the vines shook gently, and everyone didn't dare to move, and they couldn't help but feel the urge to urinate.

After a lot of effort, everyone arrived on the small platform opposite one after another, sitting on the ground and panting, all looking tired.

The medicine farmer pointed to the top of his head and said, "Now climb up through the lock hook, and there is the Tiger and Leopard Gorge above." A soldier asked curiously; There is a canyon on top of such a high mountain? The medicine farmer smiled: "This is so strange with Longshan!" There was a bit of pride in his words. Then he unhooked the hook on his back and wanted to throw it.

The officer pressed his shoulder and said, "There is still a look of six or seven feet from here to there, can you throw the iron hook on it?" ”

The medicine farmer pointed to a pine tree that crossed the cliff and said, "I'll climb there first, and then I'll hook it up." ”

The officer patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't be so troublesome!" Then he took a hollow pole from his back, and inserted the tail of the hook into the pole, and the soldier presented a crossbow with a string, and the officer took the crossbow and put the pole with the hook into the crossbow's firing slot. Picked up the crossbow, aimed at a position on the top of the mountain, pulled the trigger, only to hear a sound on the ground, the wooden pole dragged the iron hook into the sky, and then a soft snap came, and the lock hook had flown to the top of the mountain. When the medicine farmer saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

The officer gently dragged the hook, which hooked a pine tree on the side of the mountain. The officer felt the hook hook on something, tugged hard, felt very firm, and said, "I'll go up first." Yuluo pulled the rope in his hand and slowly climbed up the cliff with his feet. The soldiers went up one after another. Yao Nong looked at the people who were climbing upward, and secretly sighed: "These Ming sergeants are really in good health, and they have nothing to say!" It's the hunter in the mountains, and after coming all the way, he must have no strength to climb up! How did he know how hard the physical training of the Ming army was, such a trek was actually nothing to the Ming army, but they had never climbed such a cliff, and it was very psychologically exciting.

Seeing that all the sergeants had climbed up, Yao Nong quickly dragged the rope and climbed up.

The crowd gathered on the edge of the cliff. The officer pointed to the brightly lit place not far above his head, and asked Yao Nong in a low voice, "Is that the main peak above?" The medicine farmer nodded, that was the main peak.

At this moment, a huge tiger roar suddenly came from a distance. Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but follow the prestige, and under the reflection of the moonlight, they saw a huge white tiger turn out from behind a big rock, and a pair of tiger eyes looked at everyone with fierce eyes. One of the soldiers exclaimed: "Good tiger! ”

Yao Nong said with a pale face: "This is Tiger and Leopard Gorge, and there are many tiger and leopard thieves!" Let's go down! ”

The officer said calmly: "Don't be nervous, there are many of us, and that tiger doesn't dare to act rashly for a while!" Fellow, you go down first! The medicine farmer answered, and hurriedly climbed down through the rope. The sergeants went down in turn, but the officers remained at the rear. The tiger saw that there was only one person left on the edge of the cliff, and when he had no scruples, he let out an earth-shattering roar and pounced. The officer didn't have time to climb the rope, so he simply jumped and jumped off the cliff! Seeing that he was about to fall into the abyss, at the last moment, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the rope! The falling body slammed into the cliff and didn't continue to fall! And the white giant tiger pounced, but because of inertia almost fell off the cliff, fortunately, the tiger also reacted quickly, the fat butt twisted, the front paws slashed the ground, the hind paws kicked the cliff hard, and finally sent his fat body back up! Perhaps frightened, the tiger ran back with his tail between his legs as soon as he returned to the cliff.

The officer returned to the cliff, sat down on the ground, and laughed; "It's fucking dangerous! It's almost over! The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

The officer stood up and asked Yao Nong, "Is it difficult to walk from Hubao Gorge to the peak?" ”

Yao Nong shook his head and said, "Although it is also difficult, at least there is a road, and there is no problem to get to the peak from Hubao Gorge." ”

The officer nodded and said, "Go back and report the situation here to Your Majesty." Then he took the rope in his hand and shook it vigorously, and the hook broke free from the trunk with his trembling force, and the officer pulled it, and the hook fell off.

Yang Peng was woken up in the middle of the night by Ye Yu Guanyin and Ye Lu Hanyu and sat up. Ya Yu Guanyin said excitedly: "Big brother, they have found the way!" ”

Yang Peng's eyes lit up, "Where are the people?" Call them in! Yelu Hanyu immediately raised his voice outside: "Your Majesty summons! ”

Immediately, the medicine farmer and the officer came in and kowtowed.

Yang Peng said: "Get up and speak." The two of them thanked each other and stood up. The officer clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates and others have already investigated." There is indeed a path up the Eagle's Beak Rock, but it is very steep and difficult to walk, and I waited until I lost my armor to climb up. ”

Yang Peng asked, "According to you, can that small road accommodate 3,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

The officer shook his head and said, "Impossible." The roads are rugged, the mountains are steep, and it is very difficult to move with too many people and horses, and it is completely impossible for 3,000 people to go up in one night. The subordinates thought that they could only go up to a thousand people at most, and if there were more, they wouldn't work. ”

Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look. Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "There are 60,000 enemy troops on the mountain, and it may be difficult to do anything if only a thousand soldiers go immediately!" ”

Yang Peng looked at the officer and said, "You just said that you shed your armor and went up, so when you said that a thousand men and horses can go up, do you also mean that you can take off your armor?" The officer was stunned and hurriedly said; That's what his subordinates think about as well. ”

YANG Pengdao; "That is to say, if you are fully armed, you will not be able to reach a thousand soldiers and horses at all."

The medicine farmer standing next to the officer hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, this road is very difficult, and you have to climb several cliffs, if you still wear a full set of armor, you can't do it with Yang Pengjun's strength!" To take that path, you have to travel light! ”

Yang Peng looked at the officer, the officer thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "He is right, it must indeed be light!" And you can't bring too many weapons, otherwise people will definitely have no strength before they go to the Tiger and Leopard Gorge! ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "What can a thousand lightly armed soldiers do even if they go up?" ”

Ya Yin Guanyin said: "The risk is indeed very high, but it is not completely impossible to succeed!" I think it's worth the gamble, it's a big deal to lose a thousand elites! Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Peng's face.

Yang Peng's face was thoughtful, his left index finger was gently tapping on the tabletop, and his mind was thinking about the specific action strategy of this elite. Then he said to Li Lang: "Gather all the generals!" Li Lang promised to run down.

Xiao Gan saw that the Ming army had not forcibly attacked for several days, but he did not dare to be careless at all, and kept considering the strategies that the opponent might adopt. Xiao Sa looked at the sand table with a frown, and couldn't help laughing; "Don't worry! We are so impregnable, Yang Peng has no choice! ”

Xiao Gan couldn't leave the sand table, frowned, and said, "Isn't there news that he is sending people to find a path up the mountain?" If he really finds a path that we don't know about, Helongshan will be in danger! ”

Xiao Sali said disappreciatively: "How can there be any path that we don't know!" It is impossible for the Ming side to be more familiar with this place than our local generals! Relax, handsome! All the small roads that can go up and Longshan have our army in ambush, I am afraid that his Ming army will not take the small road, once they take the small road, they will definitely kill themselves! ”

Xiao Gan turned his head to look at Xiao Sali and asked, "Did Xiao Da Buye reply to the letter?" ”

Sali shouted; "I've replied. He said please rest assured that all the paths are ambushed and there are no loopholes. After receiving the order of the commander, he strengthened the garrison everywhere, and now even a fly could not fly. Xiao Gan couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved when he heard Xiao Sali's words.

Returned to the handsome seat and sat down, sighed, and said; "Our opponents are Da Ming and the eldest princess, so we can't be cautious!"

Xiao Sali laughed and said: "No matter how powerful they are, they can't turn into goshawks and fly up the mountain!" Xiao Gan couldn't help but laugh.

Night fell, and the Khitan soldiers saw that the Ming army did not come to attack for several days, and their vigilance inevitably dropped a lot.

However, on this night, the Ming army began to act. The general, who was born from Xiang Meng, Xiang Hu, and Orion, led a thousand elites, dressed only in light clothes, carrying blades, ropes, and a small amount of gunpowder and oil, followed the medicine farmer along the path straight up the mountain. The one who led people to follow the medicine farmer to explore the route was Xiang Hu. This fierce tiger is two brothers, and friends who have read the previous article will not be unfamiliar with the two of them. The two brothers were ancestors from southern Hunan, and later fled north to settle in the mountains of Yanmen to escape the war, and have been hunters in the Yanmen Mountains for several generations. The reason why the Ming army was able to successfully capture Yanmen Pass was also thanks to the help of these two brothers. These two brothers joined the Ming Army at that time, and now they have both accumulated merit and become generals of the directly subordinate corps. Among the large army, his two brothers and their sergeants were the best at mountain warfare, so Yang Peng entrusted them with the heavy task of raiding.

While the two brothers led the elite to walk the path, Gao Hu and Xiao Yebule quietly led the elite army to approach the foot of the mountain, and only waited for the raiding troops to attack, and they attacked the mountain from the front. At this time, the moonlight was like water, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

The army waited at the foot of the mountain, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, and the moon had set in the west. Xiao Yebule couldn't help but get anxious, and asked Gao Hu: "General Gao, why haven't they moved at all after they have been gone for so long?" Could something be wrong? Gao Hu was also a little worried, but he was still able to remain calm and said, "Don't be impatient." I heard that the path was steep and difficult, so I think it would take some time! Xiao Yebule listened to Gao Hu's words, calmed down a little, but still paced back and forth anxiously.

Time passed gradually, the moon tilted more westward, and the soldiers who were lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain could not help but feel a little tired.

Xiao Yebule was anxious, and said to Gao Hu: "Something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible not to attack at this time!" In just over an hour, it will be dawn! ”

Gao Hu frowned and said, "It's useless to say this!" Your Majesty's new order has not come before we have to wait! Gao Hu couldn't be as calm as water at this time, and a bad feeling had already risen in his heart, only feeling that by this time, the raiding troops had not launched an attack, and nine times out of ten, something had happened. Xiao Yebula paced back and forth, looking restless.

"Look, General!" One of Gao Hu's subordinates suddenly pointed to the mountain and shouted.

Gao Hu and Xiao Yebule immediately looked towards the mountain, and saw a dazzling fire rising from the top of the mountain, and their eyes couldn't help but light up. Xiao Yebula couldn't help but scold: "Fuck, it's finally started!" "Then he said to Gao Hu;" General Gao, do it! ”

Gao Hu said, "Wait a minute!" ”

I saw that the fires on the mountain increased rapidly, and the flames spread everywhere, decorating a big mountain that reached into the sky like a mountain of flames. At the same time, explosions came down from the mountain, and panicked shouts quickly rang out, and the mountain seemed to be in chaos.

Gao Hu immediately said: "It's now, the whole army is attacking!" When the drums and horns sounded in unison, they shook the foot of the mountain, and the army that was lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain immediately rushed up.

The Khitan army guarding the first checkpoint was flustered and overwhelmed by the fire and chaos on the mountain, but he didn't expect the Ming army under the mountain to suddenly emerge, and under the onslaught, he felt that he couldn't resist it! The Khitan army came back to their senses and resisted desperately, and the sharp shouts of the generals came and went; The Ming army followed one after another, moving forward, sacrificing their lives to attack the fortifications, and rushed forward with the blood of the corpse. In a scuffle, the Khitan army suffered heavy casualties, and the remnants of the defeated army fled towards the mountain.

The Ming army successfully broke through the first checkpoint, and its morale was greatly boosted, and it continued to storm onwards. At this time, the situation on the top of the mountain was even more chaotic, and the generals and soldiers only saw the fire everywhere, and the sound of shouting and fighting came from all directions, and they only felt as if there were countless enemies around.

Xiao Gan woke up in his sleep, heard the door slamming and banging, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed his sword and rushed out of the door. Seeing Xiao Sali with a different color on his face, he asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Xiao Salian immediately pointed to Helongshan outside the city, "Look, handsome!" ”

Xiao Gan couldn't help but see the flames on Helong Mountain, and couldn't help but change his complexion, "How come?" Then he asked Xiao Sali and shouted: "Has the Ming army attacked the mountain?" Xiao Sali shouted: "The specific situation is not clear! However, the sound of killing outside the city has been around all day, presumably the Ming army is launching a surprise attack on Helongshan! As he spoke, the sound of an astonishing battle came from far away from outside the city.

Xiao Gan frowned and said, "Listening to the sound of this fight, it is still very intense, the enemy army must not have succeeded yet!" Then he shouted to Xiao Sali: "You immediately gather cavalry to raid the enemy's flank!" They must not be allowed to succeed! Sali said yes and ran down.

Soon after, the city gate was opened, and the horse's hooves rumbled under the city gate, and Xiao Sa led 30,000 horsemen to rush out of the city gate and rushed straight to the foot of Helong Mountain. At the same time, Xiao Gan was gathering a large army and preparing to go out of the city to attack the camp of the Ming army.

30,000 war horsemen rushed straight to the foot of Helong Mountain, and it didn't take long for the army to approach the foot of Helong Mountain. Looking from afar, I saw the figure on the mountainside, and the earth-shattering sound of killing kept coming from the mountain. Xiao Sa was even more anxious when he left drinking, and kept urging his soldiers to speed up. The rumbling sound echoed between the mountains and forests, and the 30,000 war horsemen were like a torrent.

Knock knock knock! Suddenly, there was a terrifying sound of war drums in the nearby forest! The soldiers of the Khitan army who were rushing were all shocked! Before he could react, there was a sharp and dense whistling sound in the forests on both sides, and in an instant, the Khitan army cavalry turned on their backs! Almost at the same time, the ground shook in front of him, and the tall and majestic ironclad cavalry came from the mountains and seas, and it turned out to be the invincible Ming Iron Cavalry! The soldiers of the Khitan army suddenly saw them, and everyone changed color when they landed!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
