126, Jiang Xuanche of the Tenth Mirror (25)

Lin Ning set up camp in a hurry, and the soldiers formed a team to find a water source to get water, and make a fire to cook. The generals received Lin Ning's instructions and went about their daily affairs as usual, as if the army had just decided to rest for half a day by chance.

The canyon has been quiet, except for the sound of the wind whistling by, no human voice is heard, as if all the danger comes from Lin Ning's fantasy.

The night came as scheduled, Lin Ning left a few of his generals to guard the camp, and all the soldiers fell asleep in the tent with swords on their pillows, and the defense looked a little looser than usual from the outside, but in fact it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Lin Ning himself took two skilled generals and two personal soldiers, formed a team of five people, and climbed up from the cliff with his bare hands.

"Follow me, be careful. You can't see clearly at night. Lin Ning instructed. Climbing mountain cliffs at night is very dangerous, and ancient people generally had night blindness, except for her who can use internal strength in her eyes, others can basically only see a vague shadow at night.

The few people she singled out had milder symptoms of night blindness than others, but Lin Ning was still not at ease, so she told them to see their whereabouts.

A group of five people quietly climbed up the cliff, but fortunately there was only a section in the steep place, and it took almost an hour for several people to climb the cliff and trek from the top to a deep foot and a shallow foot.

There was no grass or trees at the top of the canyon, and by the sound of the wind and the darkness of the night, a few people walked towards the middle of the canyon.

"You should be able to reach the ambush site from this road, and it's really quite hidden. Lin Ning saw that there was a path close to the cliff wall that only allowed one person to pass sideways, if the other party also came up from here, then there could not be too many of them, no more than fifty at most.

"After this, we will encounter the enemy at any time. Lin Ning summoned the four of them over and whispered above his head.

"You are responsible for releasing smoke at the upwind port, the three of us are responsible for killing the enemy, and you are responsible for watching the wind, observing the enemy's movements at any time, and guarding the retreat line. We communicate with each other in the same way we have communicated before. Got it?"

Lin Ning said in a low voice, and the four of them nodded in unison.

From this moment on, there was no verbal communication between the people.

It was Lin Ning who took the lead, and led the four of them to go up from the path against the cliff, Lin Ning's eyes widened all the way, and he didn't see any footprints, and the grass and trees under his feet showed no signs of bending. After another half an hour, Lin Ning suddenly stopped.

She leaned her head down the cliff face, and a corner of her coat hung from a protruding sharp stone. She made a "stop" gesture. He waved his hand again, and asked several people to fall back one by one.

They didn't see anyone along the way, so it was obvious that the enemy had come from the other side, and now they could see the traces of the enemy's march here, presumably they had walked through.

While Lin Ning fell back, he carefully observed the surrounding scene, and after a short time, he saw that there was a protruding rock on the cliff wall on the opposite side of the path, which was very close to their side, and adults could get by with a jump.

Lin Ning silently pointed to the stone and motioned for himself to come first. She kicked her feet and jumped lightly onto the stone. Jumping down from the other side of the stone is a dirt path, and the path is full of scattered footprints in the same direction.

Lin Ning's heart was relieved, they didn't find the wrong place.

After picking up the other four people safely on the boulder, Lin Ningfang led the team towards the dirt path.

Several people landed silently in their soft-soled cloth shoes, the friction of clothes and the sound of breathing were deliberately adjusted to a minimum, Lin Ning's hands were already holding two daggers with cold light, and the other four people were holding two-handed crossbows in their hands, and their short swords were all placed on their waists, ready to meet the enemy in short combat.

Climbing the winding dirt path, there is an open hilltop flat land in front of you.

Lin Ning made a gesture to spread out, and immediately a person jumped onto a gap next to the passage of the dirt path, and condescendingly aimed his crossbow at the intersection of the platform down to the dirt path.

Another man walked around the other side of the platform with his body lowered, apparently to release smoke.

Lin Ning closed his eyes and felt the speed of the wind, and sighed slightly in his heart, it was windy tonight, and the effect of this smoke was probably limited. But it's better than nothing, and it's good to slow down the enemy's reaction speed.

A few people took refuge in the leeward, and after a short time, the people who had gone to put the smoke turned around and waited quietly for a cup of tea. The wind heard the faint commotion of the enemy troops over there, Lin Ning's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved forward with a fist with one hand, and several people rushed out of the hiding place like arrows off the string.

"Smoke has a limited effect, it can kill a few and kill a few, and the speed must be fast. ”

His subordinates all went to the front to kill, and Lin Ning went to the distance where the smoke could not blow.

Even if these enemies on the top of the mountain are not professional soldiers, they can be selected to carry out such a difficult task, and their physical fitness is also the best among ordinary people.

Without the influence of the smoke, only Lin Ning was the only one of the five of them who could quickly kill the enemy without making too much movement.

The number of enemy troops on the top of the mountain was originally more than that of Lin Ning and them, and this was secondary, if the enemy army on the top of the mountain was attacked and reported to the army, they would have lost the big fish.

"The wind on this mountain is too cold, you go this way and squeeze it warm. A soldier curled up in a dirt pit said to his comrade. Before the words fell, the body of his comrade-in-arms had already poured towards him, and the smell of blood was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

The soldier turned his head in astonishment, only to see the corpse of his comrade who had been pierced through the throat and the great artery, and at the same time there was a chill in his own neck, and then his head separated.

"Two. ”

Lin Ning wiped the dagger in his hand on the shoulder of the enemy who still had his body temperature, and said secretly in his heart.

She crossed the pit and walked to the edge of the cliff near the gorge, where a row of rolling stones was placed, and twelve soldiers sat back to back and snoozed.

Lin Ning swept over silently like a ghost, went around to the upwind direction, crouched down, and pulled open his sleeves to reveal the pocket bow and crossbow on his left arm.

The machine spring made a gentle flicking sound in the messy wind, and five thin arrows were shot out one after another, and the roots were accurately submerged into the eyebrows, and the five soldiers saw the king of Hades without even snorting, and their bodies did not fall due to inertia.

There is only a fleeting opportunity. Before he had time to reload the crossbow arrows, Lin Ning rushed forward and the two daggers each sank into the necks of the two soldiers, and with a turn of his body, he pulled out lightly, and swept past him the moment the next soldier opened his eyes, taking away his life.

The vigilant soldier did not sleep to death, and had already picked up the knife at this time, but before the knife was raised, Lin Ning had already rushed to the front of him, and one by one he bypassed the blade, stabbing from the bottom up, cutting through the chest and throat.

The soldiers on the other side were already in a state of turning their backs to Lin Ning, and at this time, the two of them looked back in shock, and were taken away by Lin Ning one by one, and at the same time, with the two daggers as the focus point, as if they had gotten rid of gravity, their legs were twisted forward.

At this time, the last person made the right choice, he didn't look back, but suddenly rolled forward, dodging the sharp twist of Lin Ning's legs.
