Zhao Langjiang and Dong Dayou came to the high place and saw the Western Chu army launching the next round of offensive. After a rough calculation, there were nearly 50,000 people.

This is the largest number of troops sent by the Chu army in the past month, and there were only 30,000 troops and Zhao Langjiangxin who brought this group of people.

The forces of the enemy and us are very different, and the pass that guarded the city has not been repaired yet. Dong Dayou said, "Old Zhao, come and give orders."

Changing commanders at the last stage is a taboo in the army.

Zhao Langjiang understood this truth, and the battle at Hulukou was always commanded by Dong Dayou. He was familiar with the road, whether it was the terrain or the troops. If he changed the general rashly, the situation would only be worse. So he said, "You treat me as a guerrilla general who led the troops, and everything is subject to your command."

Dong Dayou looked gratefully, "I'm not polite."

In this battle, Dong Dayou lost most of his 80,000 troops. At this moment, he was holding a strong heart in his heart and could not give up the gourd mouth no matter what. Dozens of instructions were issued one after another, and some were ordered to repair the city walls and control the water source, and some were ordered to prepare crossbows and catapults, from the front line to the logistics support, everything was fine.

Zhao Langjiang was very impressed when he heard this. Although he had been a guerrilla general, he still lacked the opportunity to dispatch the entire army. Although the Battle of Yinyang was defeated in Northern Zhou, Li Xianzhong played a huge role in logistics and material supply dispatch. A few years ago, Dong Dayou was a guerrilla general with him, and now he has become a general who can stand alone. Thinking of this, he put away his mind and listened carefully.

The mouth of the gourd is like a gourd, with three major passes, the west is controlled by Western Chu, and the east is the eleven Western guards of the Ming Dynasty. The battle between the two countries lies in the extremely narrow pass, the waist of the gourd, which is only more than ten feet here. After several confrontations, the pass is extremely damaged.

Zhao Langjiang saw two magic cannons on the broken city wall, and abandoned them and asked, "Why not?"

Dong Dayou said, "The divine machine cannon has made them suffer. When they occupied the last time, they had already said that the cannon chamber was destroyed, and the repaired craftsman was killed in battle. This thing turned into two piles of scrap iron."

"Is there any gunpowder in the army?"

"It should be able to get two boxes together. This thing is difficult to control. It is also a drop in the bucket to deal with Xi Chu. It is not very useful. It is better to pick up some bows and arrows."

Zhao Langjiang looked up, looked at Hulu Mountain, and asked, "Why aren't you ambushing the mountain on the top?"

Dong Dayou smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I didn't think about it. It's just that this mountain is three hundred feet high and there is no road to reach the top. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any statement that Hulu Mountain is a line of two roads."

This is a fact.

After decades and hundreds of years of war, the borders of the two countries are generally frozen in mountains, rivers and rivers with natural barriers to resist, thus achieving a balance. For example, in the Shandong area of ​​the Central Plains, when the 72 countries were in chaos, there was no danger to defend, and within a hundred years, they changed hands ten times.

Zhao Langjiang looked at the top of the mountain, and there were several huge stones dozens of feet long, extending out of the mountain, like a lie-shaped dragon lying across the top of the mountain, and a bold idea emerged in his heart.

"If you can blow up the top of the mountain and block the gourd mouth, you don't know if it's feasible?"

Dong Dayou said, "I have thought about it many times, and Xi Chu may have been thinking a lot. The method is feasible, but it is difficult to reach the top."

Zhao Langjiang took a moment of sight and said, "I'll find a way."

Boom!

A huge stone roared over the city wall, smashing a pit of ten feet in size into the city wall. More than a dozen soldiers who fought for the West could not hide and were smashed into meat paste.

"Arrowman!"

Countless arrows shot towards the Western Chu army like locusts.

The battle of siege began.

Zhao Langjiang said, "Old, I will deliver the three thousand followers and other troops to you. Please be sure to persevere until noon."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Langjiang pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "You want to try it!" He said again, "If you see me reaching the top of the mountain, you immediately order the withdrawal of troops and withdraw the troops back to the east entrance."

"You're going to cut them off?"

"That's the intention. When their troops pass the gate, I will intercept them with huge rocks and turn them into two. At that time, we will catch the turtle in a jar."

Zhao Langjiang continued to explain that Ye Erlang was originally the general of the Huo camp, and his rank was lower than that of Dong Dayou. The other white horses and Yicong were brought by Zhao Langjiang from Yinyang City. With his instructions, everyone had to obey the orders.

One hour later.

Zhao Langjiang carried a box of gunpowder and climbed to a height of hundreds of feet. The one in front was not difficult. A person with a little skill in martial arts could also climb up with the help of ropes, hooks and other tools.

Ten Western Chu scouts were here to watch the situation on the battlefield and kept reporting to the Western Chu side through the flag. Zhao Langjiang suddenly took action. The Western Chu scouts did not react and died one after another, leaving only a living mouth.

"God of your life, General!"

When Zhao Langjiang saw him speak fluent Chinese, he asked, "Why forgive you?"

The man said, "I am the scout in Xichu and is proficient in flag language. If the general spares my life, I can send them wrong news."

Zhao Langjiang looked down from here and saw a scattered scattered under the mountain stream. The soldiers and horses of Western Chu were less than thirty feet away from the pass, while Western Chu was still increasing its troops. If this continued, it would be possible that the middle pass would have been lost before it could get dark.

Zhao Langjiang said, "Tell the flag bearer at the foot of the mountain that the Ming reinforcements have arrived, and there are ten cannons of the gods and cannons, which are about to be completed."

The scout of the Western Chu stood up, took out two flags, and passed the message to the foot of the mountain. After the communication, Zhao Langjiang saw that the Western Chu army did not retreat, but instead stepped up the offensive. Soon, dozens of military masters surrounded this side.

Zhao Langjiang said angrily, "Dare you lie to me?"

The scout of the Western Chu said, "I, the scout of the Western Chu, the prophet of the Tang Dynasty, will only die in battle and will not surrender!" After that, he held the flag and jumped down the mountain stream.

Zhao Langjiang said in his heart that this scout was a hero. "Prophet Tang." Zhao Langjiang murmured, "If it weren't for the different positions of both sides, they might be able to be friends."

He looked around and saw that the Western Chu soldiers had arrived in front of him. Seeing the outfit, Zhao Langjiang had already recognized them, and they were shadows.

Shadow is the most elite force of the Western Chu army. It performs missions such as spies and assassination. It is also the people recruited by the Western Chu army from Western Chu to join. They all have supernatural powers. In the past, they dealt with them a lot when they were conquering the Western Army.

The leader had a hooked nose, curly hair, and missing a left eye. He looked at Zhao Langjiang and said, "You killed us brothers?"

Zhao Langjiang smiled and said, "They accidentally hit my knife."

One-eyed dragon said, "Put down the knife, kneel down, maybe you have a whole body."

Zhao Langjiang said, "I like to be uncomfortable. If I don't fight, I will stop. Once I fight, I must kill a hundred people to stop."

One-eyed dragon said, "Why does this sound familiar? No, why do I feel like I have seen you somewhere?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "If I remember correctly, we met five years ago in Hengduan Mountain. It seemed that my eyes were stabbed by me."

The one-eyed dragon finally recognized him and said in a trembling voice, "Are you a wolf from Hengduan Mountain?"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

In the Central Plains, if you want to talk about the wolf of Hengduan Mountain, there are probably few people who know this person, but in Western Chu, especially among the shadows, the wolf of Hengduan Mountain is almost a nightmare. With one person's strength, he killed nearly a hundred shadows in the jungle, captured the prince's son Xiang alive, and made the shadow a joke in Western Chu.

Zhao Langjiang said, "You have a pretty good memory."

One-eyed dragon said, "Is it too late?"

“What’s the time?”

"I'm running now, is it still time?"

Zhao Langjiang thought for a while and said, "Do your best."

Hurry!

Everyone threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away. Zhao Langjiang picked up a stone, smashed the stone, and threw it out to the group of people. Pop puff puff puff puff puff puff puff dozens of sounds, these elite Western Chu soldiers died on the spot, leaving only one-eyed dragon.

"return!"

The one-eyed dragon was obedient and came to Zhao Langjiang obediently.

"Do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live!"

?Zhao Langjiang said, "If you want to live, you can do it." He didn't want to expose his plan, so he said to the one-eyed dragon, "These shadows are not something I killed."

One-eyed dragon said, "I understand! They accidentally stepped on the air and fell to death."

"Yes, that's what it means." Zhao Langjiang said, "You shadows are not allowed to seek revenge with me!"

One-eyed dragon said, "I understand! Not only will I not seek revenge with you today, but I will not seek revenge with you in the future!"

"Yes, that's what it means. Also, you haven't seen me today."

One-eyed dragon said, "I understand, not only did I not see you today, but I will not see you in the future." After that, he stretched out his hand and blinded his other eye.

Zhao Langjiang said, "I don't mean that."

One-eyed dragon cursed, "Didn't you tell me clearly earlier?"

Zhao Langjiang shook his head, "You should do it yourself." After that, he brought the gunpowder box to the bottom of the cliff.

"ah!"

A shrill scream came from behind, and the sound gradually faded away. It was the blind man who stepped on the air and fell off the cliff.

The remaining two hundred feet of peaks stood like a knife, standing in the clouds. To blow up the Dragon Stone, you must climb the top along the cliff.

"Only try the strength!"

Zhao Langjiang tied the box to his waist, concentrated his energy, and suddenly jumped upwards more than three meters high. When he reached the highest point, Zhao Langjiang's foot was on a stone. He took the opportunity to breathe, and jumped up again, three or four meters higher, swung out the golden knife and inserted it into the cliff with a knife.

These two leaps seem simple, but in fact they test Zhao Langjiang's eyesight, internal strength and judgment. Without the blessing of the Hidden Yang Formation, Zhao Langjiang still has the realm of Tongxiang. If it is only a few dozen feet high, Zhao Langjiang can forcefully climb with brute force, but there are more than 200 feet here, and he still has 100 kilograms of gunpowder on his back. Zhao Langjiang must distribute his physical strength and internal strength.

As the true energy flowed, Zhao Langjiang jumped for more than ten times in a row, and finally exhausted all his strength. He climbed onto a raised stone and breathed in big mouths. The higher he went, the thinner the air became, and the true energy between heaven and earth was not as good as the ground.

From a distance, on the cliff hanging like a knife, there was a black figure jumping upward like a monkey.

The mountain wind in late autumn blew on his face like a knife cut.

Zhao Langjiang suddenly felt unaware, gritted his teeth, and at first he jumped three or four times, he had to rest for a while. By more than half, Zhao Langjiang was exhausted. On several occasions, he almost lost his hand and fell into the mountain stream. The higher he went up, the slower the distance was, and the distance was only half a foot. He relied entirely on a force of will, moving up step by step.

At the last thirty feet, Zhao Langjiang's body had exhausted his true energy and his physical strength was close to his limit, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm.

This is a one-man battle.

Zhao Langjiang looked down the mountain and the Western Chu army had already attacked the pass city. The army on both sides showed it to him like an ants fighting.
