Chapter 274: Pass the Five Levels

Xu Chang took 10,000 elite soldiers from Leizhou Mansion, took a warship, and slaughtered the Three Immortals Island. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info On the flagship of the Chinese army, Xu Chang, Zhihua, Baijintang, Zhanzhao, Sanrat, Sijue, Penglai Erxian and others all listened to Monk Yuan's introduction to the layout of Sanxian Island.

"The Three Immortals Island is named after the Three Immortals Temple, and many institutions in it are ambushed, all of which are mainly to protect the Three Immortals Temple. The construction of the Three Immortal Temples is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road! To enter the Three Immortal Temples, you need to pass through five levels: this first level is called the Broken Soul Valley; the second level is called the Falling Soul Bridge; the third level is called the Lost Immortal Cave; the fourth level is called the Desperate Platform; the fifth level is the most powerful, and it is called the White Bone Gorge! If you can't pass these five levels, you can't get close to the Three Immortal Temples. ”

Xu Chang said: "Most of them are sailors, can they hold this pass?"

Yuan said: "These five levels are designed according to the terrain, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack everywhere. ”

Xu Chang said: "Since this is the case, let's attack!

Bai Jintang said: "Our men and horses are not superior, and I am afraid that a strong attack is not the way." ”

Xu Chang sneered: "These horses are not the local government soldiers of Leizhou, they are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles I brought from the battlefield of Western Xia, and the ordnance and equipment are all border troops, which are by no means comparable to these water thieves in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I also brought some siege equipment this time, I went to Sanxian Island to demolish this Sanxian Temple!"

Seeing that he was so confident, Bai Jintang didn't say anything. There was nothing to say all the way, but it took one day to arrive at the Three Immortals Island. Before the army set off for Sanxian Island, there were no soldiers and horses from the Southern Tang Dynasty to stop it, and even in the port of Sanxian Island, there were no defenders from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Are you going to sing the empty city plan with us?" Bai Jintang got off the boat, looked left and right, and there was indeed no figure, and wondered: "This is fresh, is this ready to ambush, or is there no one at all?"

Bai Yutang said, "Don't be scared away, right?"

Although Xu Chang is arrogant, he is not arrogant, he still has the cautiousness of the general. Seeing Bai Yutang say this, he replied: "No, the terrain here is dangerous, they won't give up easily, let's move forward with the whole army, and see what the five levels are!" Pass my order, the horse team will open the way, and the team will sort out the clothes and armor and equipment, and march towards the Three Immortals!"

Under an order, 3,000 cavalry opened the way in front under the command of deputy general Cao Jingchao. After traveling for about ten miles, there are only two high mountains on the left and right in front, and there is a canyon in the middle, which can barely accommodate four or five people in parallel, and the terrain is quite dangerous.

Cao Jingchao is a veteran soldier who has fought a big battle for several years, and when he saw the dangerous terrain in front of him, he did not dare to advance, so he hurriedly restrained the men and horses, lined up in formation, and waited for Xu Chang's order.

There was not much time, Xu Chang's army came, and when he saw the terrain here, Xu Chang also frowned slightly, this place was too dangerous. The terrain is narrow, and if the army enters, the two ends are blocked by people with rolling logs and stones, and even if people don't fight, they can starve to death......

The monk said: "This place is the Valley of Broken Souls, the first pass of the five passes, and the place is too dangerous to make a mistake." ”

Xu Chang nodded and agreed: "That's right, this place is very dangerous, don't venture into it." Pass my command, the shield bearer prepares, the pikemen and archers are in the center, the shield bearer is on the side, the cavalry enters the canyon last, the whole army prepares, enter the valley!"

The soldiers hurriedly lined up, five men in each row, the pikemen in the middle, the archers next to them, and the shield bearers at the outermost, all of whom were long shields, horizontal on both sides, which could basically block two people. The army slowly entered the Valley of Broken Souls. Only the cavalry waited outside, after all, the cavalry was fast, and in case of danger, they could be used as a mobile force.

The army advanced little by little, but there was no danger in the Valley of Broken Souls, and the vanguard was about to leave the valley, when suddenly a strange laugh sounded above the head of the army: "Hahahahahahahaha, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, let me die here!"

I saw a figure in the crack on the mountain flickering, jumped down in a vertical figure, jumped three times and two vertically, and came to everyone's line of sight. When everyone in the Chinese army saw this, they were all startled, this person was like a living ghost! He had a blood-red strip of cloth on his head, a shawl, a tiger skin skirt around his waist, a bare foot, and a tiger-tailed three-section stick in his hand.

As soon as he saw this person, he introduced to everyone: "This person is one of the eight monsters in the South China Sea, his surname is Tie and his name is wide, and he is called a gibbon. You see him jumping up and down the mountain, like flat ground, and he has beaten many famous people with the three-section stick in his hand, and it is said that the hairband on his head is dyed with the blood of his opponent who died on his hands, so you should be more careful. ”

"Light merit?" Xu Chang snorted coldly: "I want to see how tall he is!"

I heard the iron kuan shouting: "Come, where are the archers!"

On the top of his head, there was a loud roar, and countless archers and thousands of bows and arrows poured out densely, aiming at the Song army soldiers in the Broken Soul Valley together!

Tie Kuan shouted, "Release the arrow!"

At the same time as he shouted to release the arrows, Xu Chang also took out the bow and arrows from the beast pot, and the arrows on the top of the mountain fell like rain, and one of Xu Chang's carved arrows shot at Tie Kuan's throat in the face of the rain of arrows!

Tie Kuan dodged to the side, and at the moment when his body just moved, Xu Chang's second arrow also shot out! The speed and strength of this arrow were far superior to the first arrow, and it was actually the last to strike! Tie Kuan had just dodged when this arrow shot into his temple, passed through his skull, and revealed the arrow from the other side!

Tie Kuan's corpse staggered down the hillside, almost at the same time as the rain of arrows! The shield-bearers played a good protective role, while the masters, who did not have shields to protect, each used their weapons to shoot arrows, and only a small number of them were injured by arrows, and even fewer died. And the archers on the mountain, who had no commander, seemed to be stunned by this uniform rhythm and Xu Chang's earth-shattering arrow!

Xu Chang's army began to counterattack, and the archers, protected by the shield bearers, fired a volley into the mountain, temporarily suppressing the archers on the mountain, while the army continued to advance.

A series of three bows and arrows attacked and disturbed, really suppressed the archers on the top of the mountain, and the army passed through the Valley of Broken Souls smoothly, and there was only a small open space in front of it, and in front of the open space was a large canyon about ten zhang wide and seven or eight zhang deep! On this canyon, there was only one iron bridge, and the iron bridge was densely packed with the tips of spears flickering in cold light! And on this bridge sat cross-legged a fisherman wearing a robe and a hat. The fisherman was carrying a fishing rod in his hand, and the rod hung down from the mountain stream, and it looked like he was going to catch a fish from the mountain stream!

Xu Chang had just spread out the team, and the army of 10,000 was crowded in this open space. Just when the team was in chaos, from the mountains on both sides, two teams of men and horses rushed down, each dancing with their blades, and there were archers behind them!

Xu Chang hurriedly said, "Archer, prepare!"
