Chapter 122 The Cliff
The night was as dark as ink. On the grass by the lake, dozens of figures were lying on the ground, like wild beasts waiting for prey.
A crescent moon has appeared in the sky, the moonlight shining on the calm lake, the wind blows on the lake, and the waves are sparkling, everything seems very peaceful. Lying on the grass, looking up at the Chongshan, you can vaguely see many fire spots on the mountain.
Those were several gaps behind Hulu Mountain, but they had been strictly guarded.
Qiu Ruxue finally leaned over and turned around, waved his hand, and a group of people gently crawled around Qiu Ruxue. Qiu Ruxue's only remaining eye was shining coldly, and he whispered: "This time, everyone is coming to do something extraordinary. I have been inconvenient before, and I have never said it clearly, so I would like to forgive you."
"Brother Qiu, you can summon us to come, that's why you think of us." One person approached and said softly: "Zhu Qingye has always owe you favors and has no chance to repay you. This time, he can get the call from Brother Qiu and go through fire and water, and he will never refuse."
This person suddenly became Zhu Qingye, who opened a martial arts hall in Shuoquan City.
Zhu Qingye is very powerful in Yuezhou, and all the religions and all have relationships with him. He even walked with Ma Xiangu and opposed Chu Huan. Fortunately, Qiu Ruxue appeared, Zhu Qingye had an old friendship with Qiu Ruxue and withdrew from the middle of the way.
"I wish you brothers, there is no need to mention the so-called favors." Qiu Ruxue said softly: "You can come today, which shows that you are the good brothers who are loyal first, but... this time's matter is extraordinary and extremely dangerous..."
Immediately someone said, "Boss Qiu, none of us came out of the dead. We have lived the days of blood from the knife. No matter how dangerous we are, we can't scare us."
Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Qiu will be relieved."
"Brother Qiu, what do you want us to do?" someone asked.
Qiu Ruxue said: "Everyone must have seen the mountains over there, and there is no way to go. The only few strongholds are all places where one man can pass by. You are very skilled and bold, and you may not be able to break through. But if we force ourselves to break through the stronghold, we will inevitably alarm the others on the mountain, and all our efforts will be wasted..."
"Boss Qiu, are you saying we are going up the mountain from behind?"
"No," Qiu Ruxue looked solemn, "You have seen it too. If you want to go up the mountain, there is no other way, you can only climb up the mountain from the cliff. The cliff is extremely steep. Even Qiu is not sure that he can climb up. If he accidentally falls from above, he will probably be crushed to pieces..."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the steep rock wall and rose up. In the night, it seemed as if it was towering into the sky. When they thought they were going to climb up from there, a few people changed their color slightly.
Qiu Ruxue saw it in his eyes and said softly: "You have been in love with Qiu. You have never forced others to do things. To be honest, not everyone can climb up this rock wall. Perhaps Qiu will be buried here this time, so Qiu will never make things difficult for you. If anyone is unwilling, it is still time to withdraw now... Now, Qiu can definitely understand it. He will never think that you are unkind, nor will he think that you are timid and incompetent. There are many of you who are with your family and have wives and children to raise. This adventure is extraordinary and you can withdraw."
Everyone looked at each other.
When everyone saw the scene over there, they also knew that Qiu Ruxue said it was true. The cliffs in front of him were definitely not something that ordinary people could climb up. Previously, Qiu Ruxue summoned an old friend from the world, and everyone was loyal first. Hearing that Qiu Ruxue had something to help, he naturally had no words and rushed to help. Only then did they realize that they were going to climb the cliff.
After a while of silence, Zhu Qingye finally took the lead and said: "Brother Qiu, if things are easy to deal with, the kindness you owe you will not be able to repay. This time I will give it my best and try it out."
As soon as Zhu Qingye spoke, several people suddenly burst into blood and said, "Boss Qiu, everyone has arrived here. If you leave at this time, don't blame us, we will look down on ourselves."
A few of them were still hesitating and no longer hesitated, and their eyes became firm.
Qiu Ruxue sighed, "Thank you all for your help, Qiu thanks everyone here. Some words, although they are unlucky, Qiu said that they will naturally be beneficial to everyone when they go back alive, and they will never treat everyone badly. If a brother encounters an accident, you can rest assured. We will definitely take good care of your family and will not let them suffer any grievances. Qiu Ruxue put the words here. Even if Qiu's surname is killed this time, your family will still have someone to take good care of. You can rest assured."
Everyone knows that hatred is like blood and promises are worth a thousand gold, and their words are like a mountain.
There were several people who were still worried about what their families would do if something happened. After hearing Qiu Ruxue say this, they no longer hesitated.
Seeing that everyone had decided, Qiu Ruxue said softly without hesitation: "The iron claws distributed to everyone in advance are ready. They are tools for rock climbing."
He took the lead in touching the lake, and then sneaked into the lake from the shore without hesitation. The number of people from twenty or thirty behind him followed closely, like crocodiles, sneaking into the lake one after another.
...
...
The air in Hulu Mountain is already very tense.
The bandits on the mountain held their breath and were in peace. General Qiu had already made arrangements and everything was ready, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to attack.
There is still a strong defense area beside the suspension bridge of the Rising Peak. There are 70 or 80 people who are all brave. Their duty is to guard the suspension bridge. Just one suspension bridge is enough to defend the here like a wall of iron.
The archers are also waiting for the stone arrow towers on both sides of the suspension bridge.
The rumbling drums finally rang out in the darkness, and the bandits on the mountain and the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
The extremely depressing atmosphere in front of the station is not as comfortable as the opening of the battle.
Amid the sound of war drums, a military formation soon took the lead in the Chu army. Chu Huan did not let them stay in the rear just because the Governor-General Guard was his own personal army.
On the contrary, if you want to train a truly terrifying army, no matter how much training you have, you can't compare to participating in the tragic actual combat in person.
The first to take the lead was the Shanzi Camp of the Imperial Guard. The Shanzi Camp was a shield soldier, a large shield in the left hand and a large sword in the right hand. Two hundred soldiers of the Shanzi Camp formed a row, and the shield was built by the shield, forming a copper wall.
Wang Han wore the armor of the Shanzi Camp. Although he had not been the commander of the Shanzi Camp for many years, he was originally an imperial guard and could soon integrate into the Shanzi Camp.
Wang Han was also in the array at this time, living in the middle of the queue, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and walking forward with the soldiers of the Shanzi camp under his command.
Only by living and dying with soldiers can soldiers be trusted and respected.
With the rumbling sound of war drums, the Shanzi camp moved forward like a copper wall slowly moving towards the mountain village.
Behind the Shanziying, more than a dozen huge motor vehicles were pushed out.
This kind of machine car is designed with a very exquisite impact force. It can eject heavy chains, but it is expensive. This is also the biggest treasure left by Dongfang Xin to Chu Huan.
The wheels made a rattle, and a machine car needed twelve strong soldiers to push them.
General Qiu looked at the Chu army formation with fire at the Sunset Peak, and heard the rapid sound of war drums coming from the official army formation, and his eyes under the mask were extremely cold.
One person rushed to the sky, but it was Zhao Feng, the Lord of the Sunset Peak, bowed and said, "General, the army outside the Sunset Peak has begun to move. They have not lit the torch. There are many people, all of them are infantry, moving towards the Sunset Peak."
General Qiu smiled coldly and said, "There is no ignition because he is afraid of exposing the target and dare not use cavalry. He is worried that the horses will make us know...!" After a pause, he asked, "How far is it?"
"It's already within ten miles." Master Zhao Feng reported: "As long as the speed is fast enough, they will be able to arrive soon."
"Okay." General Qiu clenched his fists and said, "Send the order to prepare everyone, Fu Gang..."
Fu Gang, who had been beside him, hurriedly said: "I am here."
"I will still let you open this stone door." General Qiu said solemnly: "When their men enter the village, close the stone door, destroy the mechanism, so that the stone door will never be opened."
Fu Gang was stunned.
This stone gate was originally designed by the mechanism. General Qiu was about to close the stone gate and destroy the mechanism after the officers and soldiers entered, and then wait for the officers and soldiers to trap the Sunset Village.
Traps are everywhere in the Sunset Village. The officers and soldiers entered the Sunset Village without knowing it, just waiting for the tiger to enter the cage. Fu Gang knew that even if the number of officers and soldiers escaped the bandits in the village, they were still lambs to be slaughtered. Under General Qiu's careful arrangement, the officers and soldiers trapped in the Sunset Village were not facing bandits, but countless deadly traps of mechanisms.
Destroying the Shimen mechanism means cutting off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.
General Qiu wanted to kill the officers and soldiers.
"Yes, my subordinates obeyed the order." Fu Gang did not dare to hesitate.
Master Zhao heard the drums on the Xuri Peak in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask carefully: "General, will there be any changes on the main peak...?"
General Qiu shook his head and said, "The bigger the movements there, the more it proves that they are doing it. As long as the suspension bridge is in our hands, they will never be able to fly over the abyss unless they spread their wings."
Another person next to him was already smiling and said, "Master Zhao Feng, we have seen it before when Dongfang Xin was there. They finally retreated in a mess. The general is planning and will let Chu Huan taste our power this time."
Lord Zhao Feng knew this person, who was Lord Wang Feng from Qixia Peak.
Seeing that General Qiu was calm and composed, Zhao Fengzhu's worries disappeared.
