Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but panic and asked Zhang Lang in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, what should we do? Have they discovered us?"

Zhang Lang shook his head and said: "If they found us, they wouldn't have only a few hundred people coming. Probably the other party's garrison was just in case, so they sent these hundreds of people to guard Shishan." Then he said to Zhao Xu:

"Go down immediately and tell Pan Zhendong and the others to do this..." Zhang Lang quickly explained. Zhao Xu responded and hurried back. Zhang Lang glanced at the enemy troops who had already walked up the mountain road and led dozens of people around him.

Left near the mountain road.

It is said that Xu Zijian was thinking about the Sui army's next tactics in front of the sand table tonight, and his eyes fell on the stone mountain inadvertently. Although he felt that the stone mountain was more than ten feet high, and the side facing the outside was as steep as a knife and an axe.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Sui army to advance up and attack from this direction. However, just as a precaution, he decided to order his general Xu Cheng to lead 500 officers and soldiers to guard Shishan.

After receiving the order, Xu Cheng immediately led his five hundred officers and soldiers towards the stone mountain. When they came to the stone mountain, they saw silence and not even a single person. He felt very annoyed and cursed angrily: "Those sentries must be there.

You're lazy!" He immediately led his men towards the outpost.

However, when Xu Cheng walked into the guard post, he saw that the guard post was empty and there was no one around. Xu Cheng couldn't help but feel strange and said, "Where did those guys go?"

At this moment, an officer shouted in surprise: "Hey! Where are Lao Li and his team? Why are they missing?" The officers and soldiers looked around, and indeed Lao Li's team of soldiers was missing. One of them was missing.

The soldier said: "I just saw them following at the back!"

Xu Cheng cursed angrily: "Have you encountered a ghost today?" Then he ordered: "Everyone spread out and look for those bastards! I want them to look good!" Xu Cheng thought that these missing guys must have hid.

Where is the laziness, so there is a saying.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers spread out and searched in all directions. Although there were no tall trees on the rocky mountain, there were overgrown weeds and bushes. The hundreds of people dispersed, and if it weren't for some lights, they would have disappeared on the mountain.

Xu Cheng and dozens of officers and soldiers sat outside the post to rest while waiting for news. A wind lamp was hung on the outer wall of the post. The dim and flickering light could only illuminate the surrounding area of ​​one or two feet. Gradually, Xu Cheng

It felt like the originally noisy mountain seemed to be getting quieter and quieter, and eventually it turned into silence, and everyone's voices disappeared. Xu Cheng felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help but look up, and saw the flickering lights in the bushes.

Why did all the lights disappear? Xu Cheng was very surprised. He stood up and asked the people around him: "Where have they gone? Why do they seem to have disappeared?"

Only then did everyone notice this and looked around. Sure enough, they saw only darkness and shadows. The lights that were flickering just now all disappeared. An officer's face suddenly changed and he said with great fear: "Commander, we, we

Did you encounter a ghost?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked horrified. Xu Cheng cursed angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!" However, even though he said this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Yes, after all, how could hundreds of people disappear without a trace for no reason?

Xu Cheng shouted loudly: "Zhang Laosan, Du Laodao!!..." The voice echoed in the night sky, but no one responded to them, and the mountain was eerily silent.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but swallowed, pulled out his waist knife, and cursed angrily: "Zhang Laosan! Du Laodao! If you don't reply, be careful of my military law dealing with you!" However, the mountain was still silent, and a gust of wind blew.

The bushes and weeds rustled. Xu Cheng and others felt their hairs stand on end. A soldier said in fear: "There must be a ghost! There must be a ghost!"

As if in line with his words, there was a popping sound, and the angry wind lamp hanging there fell down and went out. The scene suddenly became dark. Everyone could not see anything for a moment, and their hearts were filled with panic. Just then

At this time, everyone only felt something rushing towards them. There was a muffled groan, and Xu Cheng shouted in panic: "What's going on? What's going on?" At this moment, he only felt his mouth and nose.

Someone suddenly covered him from behind, frightening him out of his wits. However, before he could react, he felt a cold streak from his vest straight through his chest. At the moment of his death, Xu Cheng still didn't understand what was going on.

Xu Zijian, who was looking at the sand table in the hall, vaguely heard a few shouts. He couldn't help but feel strange and walked out of the hall. He listened carefully, but he didn't hear any sounds. There was silence in the fortress.

Xu Zijian couldn't help but ask the soldiers next to him: "Did you hear anything?"

The soldier immediately clasped his fists and said, "I heard it. It came from the rocky mountain. I guess someone was making a scene."

Xu Zijian glanced at the stone mountain and saw a very peaceful look on the stone mountain. He smiled mockingly and turned back to the hall. He didn't think what had happened. Firstly, it was impossible for the Sui army to climb the stone mountain. Secondly, it was impossible for the Sui army to retreat.

Ten Thousand Steps said that even if the Sui army went to Shishan, it would not be so peaceful. He sent five hundred elite soldiers, let alone five hundred elite soldiers, even if they were five hundred pigs

, it is impossible to be so calm when being attacked, so I must have been too worried just now.

Xu Zijian returned to the hall and wanted to think about it, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep leaning on the handsome seat.

Suddenly, a burst of anxious shouting woke him up. Xu Zijian was not fully awake yet, and he saw the close general shouting in panic: "It's not good! It's not good! The Sui army is coming in!"

Xu Zijian was startled and woke up. He stood up suddenly and shouted in disbelief: "This, this is impossible?!"

As if in response to his words, there were waves of shouts of killing coming from outside, as well as the roar of cavalry like a wave. Xu Zijian's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly led his soldiers out of the gate. On the other side of the city gate, he saw flames soaring into the sky, and longing figures.

, it seems that an infinite crowd of people is pouring in from the city gate! And on the nearby street, our own officers and soldiers are running down in panic like wolves and wolves!

Xu Zijian was so anxious that he slashed several defeated soldiers who passed by him with his sword, and ordered the soldiers to turn around and fight. The soldiers couldn't help but stop and were at a loss.
