Chapter 168: Release
In the evening, the army guards quietly brought in a man dressed as a hunter and brought him into Xiahouzhong's tent.
This Zhang Orion saw Xiahouzhong and Xiao Xinrong who were sitting on the throne and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, Xiahouzhong personally got up and helped people up, and said: "Boss, please get up, I invite my boss to come today because of an inquiry." ”
This Orion didn't expect the dignified general to treat people so calmly, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, what is the old man who can help, please ask the general to command." ”
Xia Houzhong nodded, pointed to a mountain in the sand table and said, "Old man, do you know that in addition to the road in front of this mountain, where can you go up?"
Zhang Orion carefully identified it and said, "I wonder if the mountain thing the general said is Izumo Mountain?"
"Exactly. ”
The old hunter smashed his mouth and said: "If there is another road, there is really a small path that can reach the top of the mountain, but the highest part of Izumo Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and if you don't take the main road, it will be very difficult. ”
As soon as Orion's words fell, Xiao Xinrong hurriedly got up from his seat, walked up to him and said, "Please tell me in detail." ”
The old man condensed and said: "This mountain is steep, there was a landslide one year, the road at the foot of the mountain was all blocked, the old man in order to go up the mountain to pick herbs and sell them for money, he had no choice but to look for the path that the old man said, I didn't expect to be found by me, but the mountain is steep, and it is extremely difficult to go up." The old man has only been there once or twice, and he has never been there again. He shook his head.
Xia Xinrong asked, "Then I wonder if if we let my husband take us to look for it now, can we find that way?"
Orion nodded: "It should be able to be found, where the terrain is obvious." ”
Xiahou Zhong and the two glanced at each other, without further ado, on the second day, Xiao Xinrong took Orion to find a way up the mountain.
At noon, Xiao Xinrong came back and entered the tent in Xiahou to continue to discuss, the road was found, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, there was a section of the cliff that was all on the cliff, and the cliff was an abyss.
Xiahou pondered for a moment: "This matter can not be delayed any longer, water must be brought in, otherwise the people in the city will be restless, and the soldiers will have no water, and it will be even more dangerous if it causes a rebellion." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xinrong nodded in agreement.
There was an urgent sound of drums, the sound of the generals to be summoned, and in a short time, the big tent was crowded with the generals who had heard the news.
After talking about the strategy in Xiahou's heart, he asked: "The road to open the gate and release the water is difficult and dangerous, and you have to pass through cliffs, I don't know which general has the courage to go to a battle?"
Hearing this, there was silence in the tent for a while, and Tang Juntong stood up: "The last general is willing to go!"
Xia Houzhong nodded: "Tang Xianfeng is very skilled, martial arts are superb, if Tang Xianfeng goes, I think I will definitely be able to complete the task, and afterwards I will ask the court for the general's credit! I don't know who else is willing to go." ”
At this time, the two of them walked out and said at the same time: "The last general is willing to go!"
Xiahou Zhong nodded at a glance: "Okay, there are three generals to lead the team, I will give you five hundred good hands, set off tonight." ”
Although the number of these 500 people is not much, they are all outstretched people who can fight against ten, and it is no problem to go into the water.
Late at night, Tang Juntong led the five hundred people to change into black short shirts, pinned daggers to their waists and ropes, everything was ready, the old hunter took people to the foot of the mountain and pointed upwards and said: "It is from here to go up, over a cliff to the top of the mountain, the old man is old, he can only lead the generals here, and the rest of the road is up to you." ”
Tang Juntong stopped talking nonsense, and with a direct wave of his hand, the other two generals directly led a team of men and horses to the mountain.
After walking for a few hours, he finally arrived at the cliff that Orion said, and looked at it through the hazy night, the cliff was steep, and a soldier came up behind him, waving the long rope in his hand, and heard a slight sound, the soldier pulled the rope in his hand, and the iron claw at the end of the rope was firmly nailed to the ground.
The soldier took the lead in pulling the rope like a dexterous monkey and climbed up, and came over with a cup of tea, and the top of the rope swung back and forth, which was a signal that the person had reached the mountain safely, and there was no danger on the mountain now.
The soldiers behind him followed suit, throwing the ropes in their hands and climbing up one after the other.
There is an abyss at the bottom, and people can't look down, and if they look down, they will be timid, and they will not dare to climb up.
Tang Juntong followed the back of a soldier and climbed up, and when he reached mid-air, the soldier stepped on a loose stone, and the person suddenly swung in the air, and even Tang Juntong also floated in the air.
The soldiers above screamed again and again, and their hands could no longer hold the rope firmly in their hands, only a deafening scream was heard, and the person fell directly into the abyss underground, leaving only a desolate sound echoing in the air.
Tang Juntong took out the dagger on his waist, and then reverberated with momentum, and firmly inserted the dagger in his hand on the mountain wall, so that he could stabilize his body, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he continued to climb up without resting.
From time to time, there were screams from the abyss, and from time to time a soldier accidentally fell off the cliff.
When Tang Juntong finally reached the top, he counted some of the surviving people, who had already lost more than a dozen people, and had already lost a few people before he encountered the enemy, Tang Juntong felt aggrieved in his heart and did not dare to stay for a long time, so he secretly touched the river interception place while it was night.
On the way, you have to pass through the enemy's military camp, and there must be a lot of people on the other side in dozens of dense tents, and if you fight hard, you can't beat it, so you have to go around it carefully and in a roundabout way.
The river embankment is in front of him, Tang Juntong led everyone into the water secretly, and the downstream is temporarily blocked with bags of sand, and the people brought by Tang Juntong need to move the sandbags when the enemy is not aware of them, and they must release water at the same time to wash away the enemies camped downstream, and be caught off guard.
Everyone passed to each other and quietly sank the sand into the water, Rao is so difficult to destroy, to the sky is slightly bright, everyone stopped and swam upstream, the soldiers soaked in the water for a day, until the sky was slightly dark, and began to move the sandbags, at this time the laughter of the enemy was heard in the distance, and the fragrance of food wafted from afar.
When it came into the nose, everyone swallowed saliva, did not eat a grain of rice for a day, and was tired and hungry after soaking in the water for a day, and kept moving the sandbag away with hunger.
In the middle of the night, the Tatar army slept soundly, and suddenly heard the sound of rushing water, and it was too late to get up and escape, the water directly submerged the tent, and the Tatar army that did not have time to shout was directly rushed to scatter.
