Chapter 81: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
Seeing that there were no other abnormalities, Chai Shaoning's mood relaxed a little.
Let Geng Qiuwen take the soft ladder piled on the ground of the dark room to go down and place it, and wait for the officers and soldiers to enter the dark passage, Chai Shaoning continued to go up, sneaking to the secret passage leading to the top of the cliff to the top of the exit.
The length of the dark passage is beyond Chai Shaoning's imagination, although the big crack is wide and narrow, and the overall shape is coherent, but after being chiseled into a step that can be walked on, it is twisted and turned, like a ladder of heaven and upward, only the slender silkworm rope that alarms is trapped on the crack wall by an iron ring, and stretches to the endless top of the gloomy darkness.
Chai Shaoning saw clearly at night, and the more he walked, the more he admired the perseverance and courage of the person who built this secret passage and installed the long rope. It's a pity that these people use their talents in the wrong place, and the smarter they are, the greater the harm to the mountain people.
After walking for another half an hour, Chai Shaoning finally saw the end of the dark passage, and a thick wooden door blocked the exit.
Perhaps due to the passage of time and the negligence of the thieves to repair and prevent it, the gap in the wooden door could no longer be closed tightly, and the light of the oil lamp and the sound of hip-hop leaked from behind the door.
"When will Miss send another woman in for us? On the top of this closed cliff, it's really hard to pass the time without a woman!" A listless voice came, and Chai Shaoning could even imagine his sad face.
"Who told you to torture the woman from before so quickly?" another voice said angrily, "Miss is also a woman after all, how can she turn a blind eye to this?"
"Mademoiselle never cares about that. The voice just now defended: "Who would have thought that she would suddenly lose her temper this time?"
"It's okay now, everyone doesn't have to play. The third voice complained and then suddenly laughed angrily: "Xu Tou, you touch, the stone wall is smooth, it doesn't look like a woman-"
"Shut up!" scolded in an angry voice before: "I can't spit out a word of human speech!"
"Xu Tou is really serious. The laughing voice became even more streamlined and said: "I see Xu Tou, you look at the way Miss shook her buttocks and left, and I can't wait to catch up and lick Miss's ass." β
"It's no wonder. Speaking of Miss, the listless voice suddenly became excited: "I have seen so many beauties, and none of them can match Miss. β
"I have nothing to say to you scoundrels. Leader Xu didn't seem to have any way to deal with the two hooligans, and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield.
After a few moments, a melodious flute sound came from the room, but this did not come in exchange for the appreciation of the roommates.
"Xu Tou, don't blow it. The listless voice moaned, "No matter how good you play, can you blow Miss into your arms?"
The flowing voice smiled: "To be honest, Xu Tou's flute is not to mention in our Black Tiger Peak, even if it is on Taihang Mountain, it is a must." It's a pity that Xu Tou is too rigid, if he gives me this flute trick, maybe he can really blow the heart of the young lady. β
"Just you?" the listless voice sneered: "With your appearance, blowing out a flower, Miss can't look down on you!"
"What's wrong with my appearance?" the angry voice retorted loudly: "If you have the ability, let's gamble, what do you say if I can really blow the young lady here?"
The listlessness also came to the strength, and the chest slapped and said: "If you can really blow the young lady, I will dare to stuff this flute into the young lady's-"
"Shut the fuck up for me!" Leader Xu's voice said angrily, "Whoever dares to make a fucking joke about Miss again, I will throw him into the big crack below and accompany the countless female ghosts who have been killed by you." β
"What am I wrong again?" muttered a listless voice, "I just want to say that I will put the flute in the lady's hand and make it a token of love for you." It's really kind and not rewarded!"
The flowing voice smiled: "Yes, Xu Tou, you don't have the courage to confess to Miss, we can't help you?"
"Get out!" Xu Leader exhaled, "I'm going to sleep, don't bother me!"
Then the listlessness and the flow of anger began to chat, and the voice of Leader Xu did not sound again.
Chai Shaoning didn't want to listen to the foul language of these people, he only hoped that the two of them would also fall asleep soon and sleep until the officers and soldiers arrived. It's a pity that only half an hour has passed, and Leader Xu, who was resting, suddenly woke up and asked, "Hasn't Lu Da Lazy replaced Sun Wu yet?"
"Xu Tou, don't you know that Lu Da is lazy?" replied listlessly: "When you sent him down, you should have thought that this would be the result." β
Bacheng went to sleep with Liu Er again. The flow of air echoed.
"The eldest lady was called by the owner of the village to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and the owner of the village intended to let his father-in-law go to the stone field to assist in the defense. Leader Xu said unhappily: "The father-in-law of the lord of Luo Zhai is not as good at talking as me, if you are lazy, you will not even have to sit on a stool in the future." β
"No wonder the brothers in the other cottages ridiculed our village owners for being too timid. Listlessly, he said disapprenously: "In the belly of this mountain where birds can't fly in, how else do you need to take precautions?"
Liuli said: "Defense, of course you have to be guarded, in case you pervert stuff the flute into Miss's-"
There was a "bang", someone suddenly pushed open the basement door, and a voice reported angrily: "Xu Tou, I don't know when? I tried to pull the rope to inform Sun Wu, but I found that the rope couldn't be pulled at allβ"
Although the warning rope is specially made of soft silk, it is hundreds of zhang long, and its weight is also considerable. To counteract this weight, the thieves set the balance at the top of the long rope, and the other end of the scale was balanced by a weighing weight of the same weight. As soon as the rope is pulled, the alarm bells hanging on both sides of the scale will sound.
If the long rope is cut off by forty zhang, the balance will inevitably tilt, so Chai Shaoning used the strips of cloth torn from his clothes to tie the rope and the ring together. But as time passed, the rope slid upwards little by little under the action of the scales, and although it did not ring the bell, the tilted balance eventually attracted the attention of the thief.
Now, Chai Shaoning knew that if he didn't take decisive action, the matter would fall short, so he slashed the long sword in his hand and slashed it down at the wooden door.
Replaced by Chai Shaoning in the past, this sword would at most split a crack in the wooden door, at most it would help him to kick the wooden door smoothly in the next step, but after understanding the method of sword luck, Chai Shaoning is no longer what it used to be.
The blade of the sword cut into the wooden door, and the powerful energy attached to the sword body suddenly "banged" like an invisible awl, and the wooden door burst open.
When the four thieves in the room were frightened by this sudden change, Chai Shaoning's sword was like a rainbow, and before the four of them had time to make a sound, they all cut off all four heads to the ground.
Just like the situation in the stone room in the middle of the dark passage, success or failure is a matter of success or failure, and Chai Shaoning will never have any mercy.
Killing four people with one sword, Chai Shaoning's feet did not stop, and he had already run out of the basement.
Outside the door, a long set of steps formed by the Yongdao diagonally upward, the thief was more panicked when he came down, he didn't close the iron door at the top of the steps, and Chai Shaoning ran out of the door directly, and arrived at the stone place in the sentry tower.
In a huge room downstairs, there is a jar full of fire oil on the side of the wall, and in a critical moment, you only need to pick it up and fall into the corridor, and the entire stone staircase can be turned into a sea of fire.
Chai Shaoning rushed past the tank, went directly to the top of the sentry tower, saw the balance tied by the long rope, and found that the entire sentry tower, including the basement downstairs and the secret passage, was only the group of leaders Xu waiting at this time.
There are no other thieves, Chai Shaoning shouted luck. Lock the door of the watchtower from the inside, and gently remove all the bells on the scales to prevent the officers and soldiers from accidentally touching the ropes and making a sound when they arrive.
Everything was done, Chai Shaoning lurked in the building, while secretly observing the enemy's movements in the clifftop square outside through the window, while anxiously waiting for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
The square outside the building is extremely spacious, and the sentry tower where Chai Shaoning is located is located in the center of the square. Perhaps it was because of the tension of form, or perhaps the thieves at the top of the cliff wanted to show how faithful they were when their young lady returned, and they all kept patrolling the square at the moment, never realizing that the heartland, which they had protected, had fallen.
On the side of the square near the edge of the cliff, there are stacks of stones in layers, so large that they occupy half of the square. The large boulders near the edge of the cliff are supported by wooden pillars, and they stand there in piles, and all it takes is for someone to push down the wooden pillars with a long pole, and the stones will fall directly to the bottom of the cliff.
These stone piles are like a long cliff embankment, and they even cover the secret passage exit below! This surprised Chai Shaoning.
This is a very tricky question. If the officers and soldiers could not arrive in time before the thieves found out, even if Chai Shaoning could hold the sentry tower and prevent the thieves from blocking the exit of the secret passage, he would not be able to prevent the thieves from causing harm to the people and horses under the cliff, and even smashing down the soft ladder and smashing the path on the cliff wall, making Chai Shaoning a lone soldier and finally trapped in the mountain.
Fortunately, this threat is slowly becoming less and less likely over time. When the rooster sang three times and the sun rose in the east, Chai Shaoning finally heard the sound of chaotic footsteps faintly coming from under the dark passage.
Chai Shaoning, who had his heart hanging in his throat, was overjoyed when he heard this, and was just about to turn around and run down the basement to greet him, when Ouyang Yu had already taken the lead and rushed out of the corridor with a sword. Behind him, Zheng Dapeng, Gao Fenglan, Geng Qiuwen, Fang Xiaoyun and He Runyu led the men and horses on the stairs one after another.
This time, the officers and soldiers dispatched all their men and horses, and attacked them front and rear, leaving only Ouyang Qian and Song Yuanlan with Qiu Ju and Dongmei to protect the injured Zhao Yinian, and at the same time led 5,000 men and horses composed of mountain people to be ready to respond at any time.
The 30,000-strong army divided into two routes, front and back, launched a fierce attack on the Black Tiger Village.
Listening to Chai Shaoning's brief description of the situation outside, Ouyang Yu and He Runyu decided to divide their troops into two ways, and suddenly rushed out of the building, rushed to the edge of the cliff and killed from both sides of the stone pile to the middle.
