Chapter 121 Waiting for the Rabbit
When General Qiu came down from the arrow tower, the sun had already set the horizon.
A subordinate hurried over and said respectfully: "General, you have already found out clearly. Fifteen miles outside the Sunset Peak, there were indeed a soldier and horse. It seems that there were at least several thousand people."
The eyes under General Qiu's mask were shining brightly, and he sneered: "That is their main attacking team. How is the situation at Sunset Peak?"
"Return to the general, most of the troops in the other peaks have been transferred to Sunset Peak. We have arranged personnel in every dangerous place on Sunset Peak, and they are all ready there." The subordinates whispered: "Now we are just waiting for the officers and soldiers to enter the trap. If we don't come, we will have to. Once we enter Sunset Peak, we will discipline them to go but not return."
"There are still people who need to stay at other peaks, just in case." General Qiu said solemnly.
The man replied: "The villages also left some manpower, but this time the officers and soldiers sent a large army, with a large number of people. Once they attacked the Sunset Peak, if the Sunset Peak is insufficient, it will cause a big mistake. We have left some brothers on each peak as much as possible."
General Qiu nodded slightly.
Finally, he glanced at the officers and soldiers who were still holding their troops in the distance, and then ordered: "There are twenty brothers left on the suspension bridge, so there must be no problems here."
A fierce bandit next to him said, "Don't worry, General, I swear to keep here to the death. If there is any mistake in the suspension bridge, I suppose I will look up to see you."
"I don't want you to show me." General Qiu said in a deep voice: "I will just need to guard this suspension bridge to the end, as long as the suspension bridge is not lost, the officers and soldiers will not be able to fight in." He turned around and said: "You guys follow me to go to Sunset Peak."
When General Qiu reached Sunset Peak, it was already dark. When he saw that the army outside Sunrise Peak had lit torches. There were many torches, like stars. General Qiu saw it and sneered in his heart.
Chu Huan's acting skills are really high. He deliberately lit so many torches. The reason for chasing Hulu Village is to focus on Xuri Village.
If I hadn't had already learned about Chu Huan's tricks, the village would have really concentrated its troops on the side of the Xuri Village.
The stone wall made of huge stones was strong and tall, and Fu Gang was standing under the stone wall tremblingly.
If you betray Chu Huan, the poison in your body will naturally be unable to be solved. I may not be able to survive long. However, if you don’t tell General Qiu about Chu Huan’s plan to cooperate with others inside and outside, your head on your neck would probably have been taken off by General Qiu.
He only had the last trace of luck now, hoping that Chu Huan could lead his army to kill this time during the attack on the mountain. As long as the officers and soldiers came in, thousands of bandits were ambushed here, and they would definitely be able to attack the officers and soldiers. If Chu Huan can be captured alive, then he could force the antidote from Chu Huan.
That is the last hope.
With footsteps sounded, a group of people surrounded General Qiu and walked over. Fu Gang and others hurriedly bowed their bodies. General Qiu walked straight to Fu Gang and whispered: "You have agreed with them that before opening the stone door, will you light three torches on the stone wall?"
Fu Gang hurriedly said: "That's right, putting a flag on the mountain to inform them that it's its turn to patrol at night. If you are sure to have the chance to open the stone gate, light three torches on the stone gate. When they see the torches, they will send someone over..."
General Qiu had already said, "Then why don't you light a torch?"
Fu Gang was stunned. General Qiu's pair of bright eyes were frightened under the fire. Without hesitation, he whispered: "Put three torches into the stone wall."
Three torches were inserted into the tall stone wall. Fu Gang had already climbed up to the stone wall, lying beside the stone wall, looking at the narrow dark stone path, which led to the bottom of the mountain.
There was silence all over the place.
I don’t know how long it took, but a crisp scream of birds suddenly rang out. Fu Gang spread his eyebrows, hurriedly got down the stone wall, and reported to General Qiu softly: “General, their people are here…!”
General Qiu's eyes smiled and asked in a low voice: "That scream is a secret code?"
"Yes..." Fu Gang said: "This is their signal and the last confirmation. Someone here comes over. When they get the news, they will soon lead the army...!" After pausing, the bird's screams were very crisp, as if it was very far away, and it seemed very close. Fu Gang hesitated for a moment and finally said softly: "General, subordinates... subordinates will go out now..."
General Qiu shook his head and said, "You don't need to do such a thing." He winked. A bandit behind him came out. Someone slowly opened a gap in the stone gate, and the man flashed out.
Fu Gang's heart sank, knowing that General Qiu still couldn't believe him. General Qiu was obviously worried that after he went out, he would inform the officers and soldiers and let the officers and soldiers know that the traps were set up here. If that were true, all the arrangements in Hulu Village over the past few days would be wasted.
The bandits sent by General Qiu held the knife in one hand and quickly disappeared into the eyes of everyone. He walked along the rugged stone path and walked for a while. He suddenly felt the strong wind coming around him. Before he could swing the knife, a cold neck was already on his neck.
The bandit was shocked, and a cold voice came from his ears, "Don't act rashly, otherwise you will be killed with one knife."
After all, the bandit was selected by General Qiu, and his psychological quality was not weak. He was shocked and immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"you guess?"
"Do you know Fu Gang?" The bandits were straight to the point. He knew that the other party was probably the one who was the one who sent by the officers and soldiers.
If I heard the man ask back, "Do you know Fu Gang?"
"Fu Gang is my life and death friend." Shanmai Yizheng Yan lowered his voice: "He saved my life, and I will send me to do him a favor this time."
"Oh?" the man sneered, "What's the busy thing?"
"Who are you?" the bandit asked pretended to be cautious.
The man said lightly: "Did you sent by Fu Gang?"
"good."
"So of course Fu Gang has told you, who do you want to meet when you come out?"
The bandit hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "You... are you from the government?"
"Why didn't Fu Gang come?" the man did not answer, but just asked coldly.
The bandits had already prepared their words, "Boss Fu is transferring the guards of the stone gate. He heard a signal here. If he suddenly left at this time, he would be afraid of being suspected, so he sent me over. We have controlled the stone gate and waited for the arrival of the officers and soldiers. We are all ready to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
"How many people are there on Sunset Peak?"
"The people on each peak have been transferred to the Rising Peak by General Qiu." The bandits were very calm. "The officers and soldiers lined up under the Rising Peak. Everyone on the mountain thought that the official army was going to attack Rising Peak. There were nearly a thousand people on the Rising Peak, but now there are less than two hundred people left. Most of them have been transferred to the Rising Peak."
The man smiled and asked, "General Qiu already believes that the official army is going to attack the Sunset Peak?"
"Yes." said the bandit: "General Qiu has ordered that this time he will fight against the official army, and he has made a great reward..."
"Don't worry, as long as you sincerely surrender this time and help us break through Hulu Village, you will be bound to be rich and powerful officials." The man had already taken back his sword, "Can you open the stone gate at any time?"
"Before the Chou Time, the stone gate will be under our control. Once the Chou Time passes, another patrol team will change defenses." The bandits are calm, "If you advance tonight, you must launch an attack before the Chou Time."
The man hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "When will the people in the village go to bed?"
"The brothers in the mountains have regulations on their work and schedules, and they have to get up to practice every morning." The bandit said, "So at the latest no later than Hai hour, except for the patrol team, they have to go to bed... Usually, they must have fallen asleep before the third quarter of the lunar hour." Then, he added, "But now that the official army is fighting, they will not sleep even at night. Although they all think that the official army is going to attack the main peak, General Qiu ordered that the other brothers who stayed behind the peaks should be fully alert and should not be neglected."
"Okay." The man whispered: "Before the third hour of Hai, the Sunset Peak will start to launch a feint attack. We will make as big noises as possible there. You are ready. After the attack is launched there, we will come secretly within a moment. At that time, you open the stone gate, and we will enter the Sunset Peak, and then attack from Sunset Peak to Rising Peak."
The bandit nodded and said, "I understand, I must follow your plan."
The man patted the bandit's shoulders kindly and said warmly: "This is a good opportunity to make great achievements. After the matter is completed, you will wait to enjoy the glory and wealth." Without saying a word, he turned around and left. The bandit watched the figure disappear, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Then he quickly returned and entered the stone gate. General Qiu was already waiting and reported: "General, they are their people. They have planned to launch a feint attack on the main peak before the third hour of the Hai hour to attract our attention to the main peak. Then a soldier secretly came to the Sunset Peak. After entering the Sunset Peak, he attacked from the Sunset Peak to the Sunset Peak."
...
...
Hulu Mountain is facing the plain in front of it and backed by the lake.
On the back of Hulu Mountain is a wide lake. In the early years, people who lived near Hulu Mountain lived a poor life, but could eat enough.
First, there is Hulu Mountain, which can be hunted in the mountains, and second, it is because the lake behind Hulu Mountain has many aquatic products. In order to distribute the aquatic products in the lake, several nearby villages even suffered blood.
However, after General Qiu occupied Hulu Mountain, the mountains and lakes became the private property of Hulu Village. The people avoided it and no one dared to come here again.
The lake is connected to the mountains. Unlike the front mountain, Hulu Mountain has vertical high mountains on the back, and there is no road. If you want to climb from behind, you must first swim through the lake, and then climb up from one of the few places behind.
However, these important places have been built with solid fortifications, and people defend day and night, so it is impossible to pass.
If you want to avoid these important places, you can only climb steep rock walls. The sharp rock walls are extremely steep, as high as dozens of meters. Even well-trained soldiers are difficult to climb up from the rock walls.
The night was quiet and quiet. At this time, dozens of people were lying on the ground on the shore of the lake, looking at the towering mountains from afar.
