When the Wei soldiers at the bottom of the mountain began to launch an offensive, the Jiaozhi soldiers were in danger of using the location to launch crossbow arrows and were preparing to push the wooden rocks prepared in advance down from a high place. In the extremely limited space of the valley, they suffered violent blows like rain and rain. The rocks were hit by dead bodies. They were probably enough to block the mountain path tightly... Even if someone braved the crossbow arrows and fell from the rocks, they were lucky enough to rush up, but there were still Jiaozhi soldiers above and they were still waiting for battle, and it was really difficult to break through the defense line.

However, although some soldiers close to the ridge were inevitably shot by the strait and fell down one after another... But more soldiers carried the trunks and branches of the previously cut trees, and even flammable grass and firewood, and piled up under the mountains one after another, and then ignited them one after another.

Jinghai Army General Li Hong guarded the Lingding Military Village. Of course, he had already made arrangements to beware of the Wei army's possible fire attack. The trees covered on the slopes were also cut down to isolate the fire. The wet grass was really difficult to ignite. However, the choking and thick black smoke rose, and gradually made the eyes of the Jiaozhi soldiers occupying the high place red and swollen. When they coughed violently, it made it difficult to lock in the targets below the mountain.

However, the fire and thick smoke also blocked the Wei army's road to the mountains. The bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows shot below were cast out of force, and it was difficult to cause damage to the Jiaozhi soldiers above. Therefore, the actual casualties between the two sides were not very high, but the situation was very big. The Jiaozhi general Li Hong did not dare to be careless at all and ordered the soldiers under his command to tighten their expressions. Even if the smoke below was blocking their eyes, if there was any movement, the arrows and crossbows were still greeted, and they were still muttering in their hearts that the Wei people were so bold, what tricks were they going to do?

...On the other side of the long mountain, the soldiers led by Lu Shizhou themselves were hidden in the dense shade of the tree. They looked up through the branches and watched a man leaning on the steep stone wall and stepping on the rocks. They were also very agile.

Originally, the western border of Xiangxi under the Chu State was also full of mountains and dense forests, and many ethnic groups were thriving in it... After Lu Shizhou inspected the surrounding terrain, he sent a small school with a close follower, who was originally from the Miao family in Xiangxi who came out to make a name for himself. Climbing mountains and ridges, climbing trees and vines were his special skills. To others, the slopes that were difficult to climb were like flat ground for this small school.

No matter how steep and ridges are, they are not as smooth and flat as artificially built city walls, with rugged rocks and twigs... However, as long as there are landing points for hand-to-hand pedals, you can try to climb up.

It is true that if the defenders above were prepared and suddenly launched an attack... Then this little school climbing upwards would not meet the sky or the ground, and would inevitably end up with a tragic death like the Jie Zhen and Jie Bao brothers in "Water Margin".

However, the mountains and terrain are covered with mountains, and the shrubs and weeds are overgrown, blocking the view. Even if the generals and soldiers camped above are on high alert, they are really difficult to cover everything... They naturally have to take risks to win in a surprise battle. In response to this situation, when they pacified the rebellion of Shuzhou and fought against the Qing navy during Liu Yin's reign, Lu Shizhou, who had repeatedly engaged in mountain wars, had certainly grasped the tactics of how to climb cliffs and attack the enemy's camps on the mountains. So after confirming the surrounding terrain, he had probably figured out how to fight this battle...

First, they set fire at the entrance of the ridge road to attract the attention of Jing Navy above the mountain. Then, Lu Shizhou personally led the team to select the most suitable position and sent the tent to climb the cliff and climb the high. However, a large number of military soldiers climbed one after another, and caught the enemy troops who were setting up camp at high places off guard.

The school was like a master of extreme rock climbing sports in later generations. However, there were no safety ropes to pull them on, but there were still several bundles of ropes that seemed to be of some weight... but it was still like a clever ape, flying up and climbing up. After about a quarter of an hour, he jumped over and climbed up the mountain with a punch.

It was confirmed that there were no Jiaozhi soldiers around him for the time being, the small school untied the ropes on his body, fixed the hook at one end, and threw them away, and several bundles of ropes fell from the mountains. With a whistle like a bird's cry, the Wei army troops who were originally quietly hiding in the dense forest, several agile military soldiers held their mouths, wrapped their ropes around their waists, sneaked towards the ropes...

In this way, one, several, dozens, hundreds... a group of Wei army soldiers climbed up one after another, but instead climbed to the high mountains with the dense forests around them as a cover. Among them, Lu Shizhou had already changed into a more flexible light armor, held a sharp blade on his waist, wrapped the rope hanging from the high place twice around his waist, and pressed his feet tightly on the cliff, and then stepped on step by step until he climbed up to the top.

At this time, the Jiaozhi generals above the mountain were still focusing on the Wei army troops who were setting fire on the other side... Lu Shizhou led the army soldiers under his command who were good at crossing mountains and ridges, slowly approaching. He then suddenly shouted, and his back stabbed like a sharp blade, and rushed towards the direction of the military camp!

When the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, the generals and soldiers of Jiaozhi were shocked to look back and looked back, wondering how this large enemy army climbed up the mountain, just like a divine weapon falling from the sky! Unpredictable, the group of Wei soldiers had crashed into the camp and swung their swords and guns to cover them. In an instant, the Jiaozhi soldiers were chopped over!

"What's going on? Will the Wei people fly? You guys are so rich! So many enemy troops are killing up the mountains, but no one notices it?"

The Jinghai Army general Li Hong was shocked and angry, and hurriedly led a soldier to rush over, intending to eliminate all the enemy troops entering the camp. However, the number of Wei troops climbing up the mountains was beyond his expectations. Li Hong cursed with hatred, but he had to lead his troops forward to engage in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the enemy!

Li Hong was not tall, but he was like a spirit ape. His skills were very agile. His machete was like a horse in his hand, and his blood rain splashed wherever he passed. Lu Shizhou, who personally led his fierce soldiers to conduct a surprise attack, soon discovered that the commander of the Jinghai Army was commanding the main general who was almost defending his life. He didn't shout, but rushed forward with Yibiao Junjian in a muffled voice.

"Damn it! Go and die!"

Li Hong's eyes were wide open, he howled shrillly, pulled his feet and ran wildly, and then slashed. Seeing the opponent coming, Lu Shizhou also slashed out the steel knife in his hand. The sharp blade cut the air and made a sharp whistling sound. After a clear sound of gold and iron clashing, Li Hong suddenly felt a trembling pain in his finger bones and his mouth was numb, and he also realized that the Wei general in front of him was definitely not Yi.

What made Li Hong even more anxious was that the battle between the two armies was not just a showdown between them... However, the deployment made before was almost useless. On the contrary, the Wei army could climb the mountains without going through the neighboring roads, and suddenly launched a surprise attack from the rear, which immediately caused the Jiaozhi generals to fall into chaos. The enemy's current completely suppressed its own momentum, and it was probably a failure to be decided!

After all, Li Hong did not expect that when Lu Shizhou, who was fighting in person with him, not only attacked the rebels who formed camps on the mountains to resist, but also had already gained experience... Moreover, many of his military soldiers, all from the western Hunan area, were used to climbing the mountain. They were just dying and stubborn. Li Hong cursed loudly, and was about to slash Lu Shizhou's neck while swinging the knife, but he immediately felt as soon as he understood his waist and eyes, and then the bone-chilling chill accompanied by strong pain, spreading into his body quickly!

A Wei army schoolman came from the side, raised the light spear in his hand, and took advantage of the moment when Li Hong and Lu Shizhou were fighting, and pierced into his waist and ribs... Li Hong was shocked all over, and the slashing action stopped immediately. However, Lu Shizhou's expression was still cold, but he took action without any ambiguity. He quickly explored the sword, and the sharp tip of the knife squeezed into Li Hong's throat!
