After leaving Tongguan, Liu Cheng and others rushed to the army camp. It was almost evening. Most of the people who moved west on the road had already begun to camp on the side of the road. The reduction of pedestrians on the road increased a lot.

"Lord, it's getting dark. Let's set up a few camps on the roadside for a night to rest. Let's set off tomorrow morning? Besides, it's easy to have problems if you can't see the road after it's dark!" Xun Yu shouted loudly to Liu Cheng, who was riding a horse in front of him on the back.

Liu Cheng heard Xun Yu’s words make sense, not to mention whether he would encounter ambush from the enemy, the people always rushed to the road at night from time to time, and it would be bad if they hit someone. Moreover, Xun Yu is a weak scholar and cannot withstand the long bumps of day and night. So he turned his head and looked at it, and found a high ground in front of him, so he pointed at the high ground with a horse whip and said, "Okay, let's go camp there!"

In just a moment, Liu Cheng led Xun Yu and thirty personal guards to the high ground. Before it got dark, everyone set up several camps on the high ground. After dinner, they arranged for warning and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a sudden shout came from the guard post: "Who is it?"

Liu Cheng woke up in shock, and instantly turned over and grabbed the sword and rushed outside the tent. At this moment, a rain of arrows shot over. He noticed the danger and immediately drew his sword and waved it quickly. The sword was dancing in his hands and could not see the blade. He saw a circular aperture covering him.

All the guards who fell asleep in the camp were awakened. They rushed out of the camp one after another, but as soon as they rushed out of the camp, they met the rain of arrows that kept shooting. Liu Cheng waved his sword at a rapid speed and shouted: "Retreat all, arrows are not allowed to come out, protect Xun Yu!"

After the two guards were shot into hornet's nests and were reminded by Liu Cheng, the guards immediately returned to the camp. Although the tent could not resist the shooting of arrow rain, the terrain was relatively high, and arrow rain shot from the low place. The arrows penetrated the camp and flew away diagonally. The guards squatted on the ground to avoid arrows.

Liu Cheng didn't know how many arrows he blocked. When his personal guards protected Xun Yu and retreated back to the camp, all the arrows shot at him. After a while, a thick layer of arrows was covered with his feet.

After shooting a cup of tea, the Jade Rain finally stopped. The guards left five people to protect Xun Yu in the tent, and the other twenty immediately rushed out and arranged in a defensive formation behind Liu Cheng.

It was pitch black below the high ground, and nothing could be seen. After the attack of the arrow rain stopped, there was only the howling cold wind around, and there was no sound other than that.

Silence is terrible. The more silent it means that the attack may be more fierce. The guards' foreheads and vests began to sweat, and the sweat dripped quietly. Liu Cheng even heard the rapid heartbeat and panting of the guards behind him.

Liu Cheng's mind was running at high speed. Why did the enemy not respond after the arrow rain stopped? What does this silence mean? He thought of a possibility and immediately ordered: "Split out ten people to go to the back of the tent to be alert. Once the enemy is found, immediately warn!"

"promise!"

The personal guards had strong execution ability. In the blink of an eye, ten personal guards ran quickly to the back of the camp. Soon a shout from a personal guard came: "General, I found that the enemy was climbing a rock cliff!"

Liu Zhi shouted immediately: "Chet them to death!"

"promise!"

The guards were usually equipped with war knives and war horses. In addition to being equipped with war horses and war knives, they also issued spears and cavalry bows. After receiving Liu Cheng's order, the ten guards behind the camp immediately took out their bows and arrows.

A torch fell down below the cliff, just in the crack of a stone. The light of the torch illuminated the surroundings. More than a dozen assassins wearing black night clothes and carrying long swords on their backs were exposed to the sight of their guards.

"Shoot the arrow!" A guard shouted, and the arrows on the bowstrings were shot out, and the arrows of the other nine guards were shot immediately at the assassins down.

"ah--"

"ah--"

Assassins kept getting shot and rolled down the cliff. They smashed the rocks into pieces while rolling down, and countless gravels rolled down.

Perhaps the enemy below the high ground learned that the person on the cliff behind had been discovered and knew that the sneak attack had failed, so he shot a large number of arrows again. When Liu Cheng heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he immediately shouted to the guards behind him: "Get closer to some and hide behind me, no one is allowed to mess up..."

Before he finished speaking, the rain of arrows came to him again. Liu Zhi immediately waved his sword and waved the sword again to the point of being airtight, like a white light shield protecting his body. All the arrows shot were blocked by this white light shield.

Resisting a rain of arrows, Liu Cheng found that the other party's arrow seemed to be worthless and had no intention of stopping. He immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Go and extinguish the fire, throw a torch down and see where the enemy is hiding!"

Until then, Liu Cheng noticed that the fire had completely exposed their bodies to the eyes of the enemies below the high ground. No wonder the arrows shot so accurately, and all of them came to him alone.

Hearing Liu Cheng's order, a flexible guard immediately rolled to the edge of the fire and picked up a torch and threw it down the high ground. Then he kept pushing the burning wood to the people below the high ground. In a short while, the fire was left with only a few sporadic fiery red charcoal, and there was no light, but the torch and burning wood that he threw down illuminated the upper and lower environments at this time.

I saw a group of men in black shooting arrows on the high ground with bows and arrows. The number of people was afraid that there were no less than a hundred.

After the fire was gone on the high ground, Liu Cheng and others hid in the darkness. The man in black below the high ground also lost the target of shooting arrows and could only continue to shoot arrows blindly in the original direction and position according to memory.

At this time, Liu Cheng had already moved his guards with his personal guards. He whispered to a personal guard: "Go and bring this general's bow!"

The Baodiao bow left in the camp was soon sent to Liu Cheng's hand by his personal guards. Liu Cheng squatted on the ground, picked up an arrow and placed it on the bowstring. The arrow aimed at a tall man in black. His fingers pulled the bow instantly released, and the huge elastic force of the bowstring pushed the arrow out.

With a "swoosh", the arrow passed through the night with a harsh whistle and shot accurately at the tall man in black. The man in black was also very skillful, as if he had noticed danger, and immediately waved his sword and slashed forward. He cut off the tail of the arrow, but the remaining half of the arrow still penetrated his right chest.

"Puchi--" The sound of arrows piercing through his body was heard, and the tall man in black did not move, but a blood hole appeared in his right chest. It turned out that the arrow had too strong penetration, and it actually penetrated his body.

The man in black slowly reached out and touched the wound. Blood flowed out of the wound and touched his hand. He couldn't speak, so he took a few steps back and fell down.

"Boss, Booss?" Several screams rang out at the same time, and then several men in black rushed over to support the tall man in black who had not yet fallen to the ground.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh" At this time, three arrows shot down from the high ground one after another, and three men in black fell down one after another.

"Ah--" The casualties appeared, and the leader didn't know whether it was death or life. The men in black were in panic in amid the screams.

At this moment, a loud shout came out: "Don't panic, keep calm! The boss is no longer able to do it, now I will be in command! You guys quickly go out the flames, everyone else hides and waits for the order. No one is allowed to withdraw, I will kill whoever runs away!"

After the leader of the man in black was shot by Liu Cheng, it was obvious that the person who had just spoken up took over the command. This person should be the second person of these man in black. Under his command, several man in black hesitated for a while and then rushed to the burning firewood and torches. However, they were successively attacked by arrows from the high ground. After being shot to death seven or eight people in succession, the firelight was completely extinguished. In addition, many of the man in black who had no time to hide were also shot and killed by Liu Cheng's guards.

The battle stopped strangely, and the surroundings fell into silence again. Even the guards guarding the cliff behind stopped shooting at this time.

A personal guard ran over and whispered to Liu Cheng: "General, there are four men in black left on the cliff and quietly retreated!"

"Removed?" Liu Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that these men in black gave up the attack and withdrew? No, I just heard that the second-person in black took over the command, but I was afraid that they would not give up so easily?

Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked another personal guard beside him: "Do you still have torches?"

I was originally planning to travel overnight at night, so I brought a lot of torches. After camping here, these torches were useless. Unexpectedly, they came in handy at this time. "Also!" The guard agreed and immediately brought a torch.

Liu Cheng and others squatted on the high ground and stared at the darkness below, but they could not see anything. However, Liu Cheng had a premonition that the battle was far away and the enemy would not give up so easily. Who were these people? Liu Cheng couldn't imagine it, but he knew that the purpose of these people was to kill him, and he would not evacuate easily without completing the mission.

According to Liu Cheng's judgment, these people should have undergone a certain amount of military training, but they are different from the army. They have a very heavy atmosphere of the world.

At this time, a large number of rapid footsteps came from the bottom of the high ground, and the enemy's attack below was launched silently.

Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Everyone is ready to bow and arrow, lit the torch and throw it down. When the light illuminates the bottom, everyone quickly shoots arrows, and as many arrows as they can shoot!"
