The kerosene bombs continued to block the entrance of the valley to prevent the army from retaking Guancheng.

Yunfeng waited outside in no hurry until the fire was completely extinguished. After a while, he estimated that the temperature had dropped, and then he led everyone to Guancheng.

Standing in the sword pavilion and looking back, there is a winding pavilion road along the foot of the mountain. The sergeants are like a long winding snake driving along the mountain road. Below the pavilion road is a rapid stream, with stones the size of a cart.

Densely covered, apparently left over from the original excavation, the stream is not far from Guancheng

Miraculously, it turned around and entered the heart of the mountain. It flowed in the form of an underground river. I don't know where it went. When I turned around and looked forward, I saw a wall of fire dozens of feet thick that was burning. Through the erratic tongues of fire,

In the gap, you can see that the army has built a high shield on the outside of the valley and is ready to fight.

On the other hand, there is a miserable scene like hell on earth. There are burned and twisted adult soldiers everywhere, their bodies are charred and black, and their expressions are miserable. Although all the fires have been extinguished, there are still wisps of black smoke coming from the corpses.

rising

Yunfeng shook his head secretly, and couldn't tell how he felt. The ancestors of these people, whether they were Han, Qiang, Di or Badi, were all poor farmers and herdsmen in Qinzhou. It was precisely because they could no longer survive that they were not far away.

He rushed to Yizhou thousands of miles away to beg for his life, but now he died tragically at his own hands.

However, in troubled times, human life is like nothing, and war always kills people. Whether they are burned to death by fire or killed by cold weapons, in fact, the ending is the same, and it is inseparable from the word "death". It is just the visual impact of being burned to death by fire.

It's just a pity

Yunfeng believes that there is no right or wrong in war itself, it is just a means of struggle between different interest groups. Yunfeng has his own interests. He wants to use Bashu as a base for money and food. Li Xiong also has his interests and only wants to separate one side.

When the two parties are irreconcilable, then there is only one way to go: fight to the death. Ordinary people, the so-called vulnerable groups, become victims to satisfy the selfish desires of those in power.

He sighed secretly, put back his chaotic thoughts, and ordered the sergeants to carry down the corpses one by one and bury them properly.

Although this most dangerous pass in the world fell into his pocket, Yunfeng had a headache. Instead of fleeing, Li Xiong set up defenses outside the valley, which gave him a great surprise. The terrain of the valley was narrow and wide.

There are large and small, and the widest part is only less than 20 feet. It is difficult to deploy troops to attack the enemy's iron barrel array, and it is impossible to throw kerosene bombs that far from the top of the cliff.

As for someone's suggestion to send craftsmen to the cliff to build a trebuchet with local materials, Yunfeng turned around and looked at the craftsmen who were frightened and paralyzed as soon as they heard this, and quickly gave up the idea. Three hundred feet high

The cliff, without special training

Climbing this is no longer a matter of strength and courage. Even masters of dark strength such as Han Yong and Zeng Daniu have a hard time doing it. Instead, there are many skills that need to be mastered just because the rope is swayed by the strong wind between the cliffs.

, it’s easy to throw people away

What's more, if the craftsmen are forced to climb up, even if they manage to climb up, in such a harsh environment, even if it takes ten days and a half month, they can only build ten or twenty trebuchets, which will not help the overall situation.

The personal guards on the top of the cliff and Yunfeng each left a hundred people on top. If Li Xiong got mad and attacked Guancheng, what would greet him would still be a shower of meteors and fire falling from the sky.

The sun gradually moved to the center. Yunfeng also built defenses based on Guancheng. First, they dug a trench a hundred feet wide and two feet deep to prevent Zhang Zhaocheng from summoning magic soldiers to attack.

Earth and rocks can be piled under Guancheng to level the foundation and used to set up bed crossbows and trebuchets according to levels.

They were busy until evening before they were done. Li Xiong was too smart to bother him. The excavated earth and rocks were piled into four layers of terraces, with six crossbows on each layer. The trebuchet was abandoned by Yunfeng again.

The wall shield that was dragged back to the county seat was built 200 steps away from the valley entrance. The trebuchet could not hit it. The crossbow had a range of 600 steps and fired trampling arrows, which was enough to destroy the wall shield.

However, most of the army stayed in the county town. There were only 3,000 troops stationed at the head of the city together with the guards. There was no way. It was really difficult to live in such a palm-sized place. And Yunfeng's temporary residence was simply built on the top of Guancheng.

Set up a tent to solve the problem

After having a simple dinner, it was getting dark. Yunfeng led a group of people to the juncture and looked at the Chengjun camp not far away. There were still dozens of layers of gun and shield soldiers stationed at the outermost edge. In front of them were

There was an open space at the back of the anti-cavalry attack facilities such as the Juma, which seemed to be prepared for the crossbow archers. Then there were hundreds of trebuchets, and finally there was the army camp, with smoke rising from the kitchen.

Everyone looked away and said nothing. They did not expect that they would face such a dilemma after capturing Jiange.

Yun Feng sighed: "This general still covets Li Xiong. To be able to make such arrangements in a hurry shows that he is very mediocre."

Jiang Fa shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Li Xiong should have been weakened by the glory and wealth of more than ten years. Facing such a fierce offensive from the general, he should have been frightened. Looking at many of his officials and generals, they all

Most of the Li clan members are incompetent. If I predict correctly, the one who can stabilize the morale of the army at this time is none other than Nanhua Guan Zhang Zhaocheng."

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is often your enemy. This sentence has been verified by Jiang Fa. The intelligence network deployed by Yunfeng in Chengdu has only been established for two or three years. It is far from perfect and is not as thorough as Tianji Sect's understanding.

Che, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded and acquiesced to Jiang Fa's judgment.

On Zhuge Fei's side, the maidservant described the situation under the pass to her word by word. After roughly understanding the situation, she saluted Yunfeng and said: "General, our army will not be able to rush out in a short time.

Even if you manage to break out of the valley, you will definitely pay heavy casualties.

The slave family thought that they could use harassment tactics. They would make general attacks at random times every day, especially at night, so as to make them nervous and tire the enemy. Li Xiong's 30,000 troops were all stationed here. True, false, false.

Really, how long can he last?

As for the general, he can send elite soldiers to climb the cliff and go around to lurk behind the enemy. At the same time, the Jiange defenders rotate every day and replenish fresh troops at any time. When the soldiers are unobstructed, they can rest and wait until the enemy is completely exhausted. Then they can launch a strong attack, attacking from both sides.

"Destroy the enemy"

Yunfeng suddenly remembered a saying in his previous life. Although a blind person cannot see with his eyes, his mind is clear and transparent, and he is aware of the changes around him. Today's Zhuge Fei is a typical example. It is precisely because of his blindness that his mind is like a flat lake.

Affected by the environment, it can provide the most objective insights

Yunfeng secretly praised in his heart, but then he discovered a problem, so he asked: "Miss Zhuge is indeed a good strategist, I admire her very much, but how can the soldiers who are lurking behind the enemy camp contact me? What about me?

Do you know his whereabouts? I’m afraid it will be difficult to cooperate effectively.”

The biggest problem in ancient times was transportation and communication. Information transmission was extremely inconvenient. If the lurking army contacted Yunfeng, they had to run on two legs. It would take four or five days to go back and forth. It would be a waste of such a long time.

The fighter plane was also lost to the imperial court.

Jiang Fa took it and said confidently: "General, if you don't give up, I am willing to be your guide. I am not boasting. Although I have not been to Shu for more than ten years, I still know the mountain topography clearly. Within three days

, you can take a small path and go around to the back of the army. The general only needs to launch an attack three days later and light a huge fire on the top of the cliff as a signal."

Yun Feng looked suspiciously at Jiang Fa, who had half-white beard and hair. After a moment, he frowned and said, "I know that Mr. Jiang is highly skilled in martial arts, but the cliff is steep and steep. I'm afraid... Mr. Jiang

It’s better to think carefully.”

"Hey" Jiang Fa was a little displeased and waved his hand and said: "Although I am nearly sixty years old, I don't take this 300-foot cliff seriously. Although I can't walk on the ground like a general's bodyguard, I can still walk on the ground.

You won’t slip and fall, general, you don’t have to worry.”

Seeing Jiang Fa's unconvinced expression, Yun Feng secretly felt funny, but he gave a deep salute: "Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang. If something goes wrong, don't force it. When will Mr. Jiang set off? How many people will be needed to accompany him?"

Jiang Fa thought for a while and returned a salute: "Thank you, General, for your concern. There is no need to have too many people in this operation. Too many people will expose the whereabouts. Five hundred people are enough. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

Yunfeng's face showed gratitude, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Jiang." Then he turned around and called, "Wang Gui."

"The end will be here," Wang Gui responded.

Yun Feng said sternly: "You will take the five hundred brothers back to the county town tonight with Duke Jiang, and set off early tomorrow morning. This operation must follow Duke Jiang's arrangements. In addition, you must protect Duke Jiang Zhouquan no matter what, do you understand?

"

"The general will finally understand." Wang Gui no longer smiled when there were outsiders. He bowed respectfully and took the order to go down to the city.

Jiang Fa also said goodbye to Yunfeng: "Then I will go now. General, there is no need to be impatient. Just find an opportunity to attack the enemy in three days."

Yunfeng nodded: "I'm awake, Mr. Jiang, please go slowly."

Jiang Fa gave a salute and followed him down the city wall.

When the crowd gradually disappeared at the end of the pavilion and the sky turned completely dark, Yunfeng turned around and shouted: "Send the order, arrange the troops, beat the drums!"

"Dong dong dong" the cowhide drum was still harsh in the quiet night sky. In an instant, the enemy camp was alarmed.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack"

The army camp was in chaos. The soldiers ran out of the camp one after another and lined up to prepare. The gun and shield soldiers arrayed outside the camp also tightened their guns and looked nervously into the valley.

Li Xiong had just taken off his coat and was about to fall asleep. He had just stretched one foot on the couch when he heard noise coming from outside. He quickly put on his clothes, walked out of the tent quickly, and asked, "What happened?"

"

The attendant replied: "Your Majesty, the enemy is beating drums and arraying, and is about to rob the camp."

Li Xiong cast his eyes outward, but it was dark in the distance. He could not see anything. He could only hear the sound of drumming and shouting.

At this time, Zhang Zhaocheng rushed over and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, although it is unlikely that the Jin army will launch an attack at this time, you must be careful and don't let the other side's lies come true."

Li Xiong thought about it and issued an order to his attendants: "Send the order, the whole army is on strict alert and must not slack off" (To be continued)
