- It was not once or twice that Yan Liang was amazed and looked up to by his subordinates. This time, he remained calm and composed. .
"Although Fang Zheng's team of rock climbers have been training for a long time, the cliff is steep enough. Whether they can succeed depends on seven points of strength and three points of luck." Although Yan Liang is confident, he also retains some caution.
Fazheng Shang was so immersed in wonder that he didn¡¯t even hear clearly what Yan Liang said.
Yan Liang didn't say anything more, he just raised his head and stared at the cliff, staring intently at his brave soldiers.
On the cliff, five hundred rock climbers are slowly climbing up. In this dark night, the light is dim and they can only rely on the weak moonlight, so they must be more careful.
An hour passed, and the five hundred soldiers had only climbed halfway.
Li Yan looked up, and the top of the mountain was still so far away. When he looked down, it was already dark below, but it was like a bottomless abyss, and he could not see the scene on the ground clearly.
My hands and feet were already sore, and every time I moved my muscles, there was a dull pain. On the left and right sides of the cliff, the gasps of the soldiers could be heard one after another.
Li Yan took a deep breath, fixed his gaze upward, and continued climbing with all his strength.
"Ah~~"
There was a sudden scream of terror diagonally above his head. Before Li Yan could raise his head, he felt a black shadow whistling and flying down from a few feet away from him.
With a muffled "pop" sound, the screams suddenly stopped, leaving only bursts of echoes.
It was only then that Li Yan realized that he was actually a soldier. He fell down and was patted into pieces.
A hint of horror passed through his heart, making Li Yan and the other soldiers feel secretly chilly.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment and then continued to climb. The other soldiers also put away their sadness over the death of their companions, mustered up their courage, and continued to climb.
At the bottom of the cliff, Yan Liang clearly saw a black shadow falling from the top of the cliff, and the muffled sound it made when it hit the ground even made his heart tremble.
The soldiers who were rushing around the formation secretly let out a sigh.
Yan Liang, however, looked calm and said lightly: "Pack up the soldier's body and send it back to his hometown for burial. Give his family generous support."
"No." Zhou Cang responded immediately. With a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed to the bottom of the cliff to search for the bones of the soldier who fell to death.
The moon's shadow was sinking in the west, and before I knew it, the east was turning white.
After several hours of arduous climbing and the cost of more than ten people falling to their deaths, Li Yan and his rock climbing death squad of less than 500 people finally successfully climbed to the top of the mountain.
As soon as Li Yan successfully climbed to the top, he immediately sent a signal to the people below and lowered all the dozen rope ladders he carried up the mountain so that more soldiers could climb up the mountain along the rope ladders.
"Fang Zheng and the others succeeded, Fang Zheng really succeeded!" At the bottom of the mountain, Fazheng was very excited.
Although Yan Liang was smiling and looking calm, he was secretly relieved and relieved.
"Quickly order more soldiers and horses to climb to the top of the ladder, and then transport all the gunpowder, rockets and other items up with ropes, and the speed must be fast." Yan Liang immediately ordered.
The place at the bottom of the mountain suddenly became busy.
Hundreds of soldiers, using the cover of night, climbed up the rope ladder to the top of the mountain.
Ropes also hung from the top of the mountain, dragging barrels of gunpowder and thousands of rockets to the top of the mountain.
When the mountain was busy, Li Yan took the lead in climbing to the top of the mountain, quickly felling trees and building a stronghold, setting up barriers and building fortifications on the top of the mountain.
Everything was done, and before I knew it, it was already dawn.
"Let's go back to the camp. It's time for the Han army to taste the cruelty of reality." Yan Liang galloped on his horse and went straight to the camp.
When he returned to the camp, it was already bright. Yan Liang immediately issued an order, ordering all the troops to assemble and prepare to launch a fatal blow to Liangkou City.
With the rapid sound of gongs, thousands of well-fed Chu soldiers gathered quickly and orderly, like a stream flowing out of their respective camps, and gathered into a vast ocean in front of Liangkou City.
The battle flags are like billowing waves, the swords and halberds are like forests, and the mighty military spirit is killing the heaven and earth.
The large-scale gathering of Chu troops naturally alarmed the Han troops in the city. The military academy on duty at the top of the city was anxious to report to Xian Yufu.
Xian Yufu was still in his mansion. He had just had breakfast and was slowly putting on his armor.
Hearing that the Chu army was gathering to attack, Xian Yufu was not too surprised. He just snorted contemptuously: "Yan Thief is still unwilling to give in. Very good. I will let him taste the feeling of being washed up like a drowned rat again."
Xian YufuHe was so confident that he put on his armor in a few seconds, left the house and ran towards the city. At the same time, he ordered all the troops to quickly rush to the city to assemble.
Climbing to the top of the city and looking down, the Chu army was overwhelming. The number of soldiers and horses assembled this time was nearly 150,000.
"It seems that Yan Thief is planning to attack with all his strength, huh." Xian Yufu sneered and shouted: "Come here, pass my order to push all the water dragon cannons to the top of the city quickly. I am going to have a good show." Fanyan thief."
After the order was passed, the high-spirited Han soldiers quickly pushed forty or fifty water dragon cannons onto the top of the city. The dark hole was aimed at the Chu army at the foot of the hillside.
Xian Yufu was a hundred times more confident. He sat with his sword in hand, waiting for the Chu army to come up the mountain and make him famous again.
At the foot of the hillside, hundreds of thousands of Chu troops lined up solemnly. The soldiers' hands were itchy and they wanted to rush up the mountain immediately to crush the arrogant remnants of the puppet Han army.
Yan Liang was not in a hurry at all. He sat firmly on the fishing platform, with the red rabbit horse on his crotch, and allowed the Han army to gather in the mountain city.
Half an hour later, Yan Liang estimated that most of the Han troops had gathered along the line of the city wall, the city was empty of defenses, and the time had almost come.
He sneered and raised his whip: "That's it. Let's send a signal to Fang Zheng."
"Promise!" Zhou Cang responded and ordered his soldiers to light a small number of trumpet fires.
The black wolf smoke soared into the sky and was clearly visible for dozens of miles around.
At the top of the mountain, Li Yan, who had been standing with his sword for a long time, finally got the signal to start the war after waiting for a long time.
Li Yan's face showed the desire to fight wildly. He waved his sword and shouted: "Your Majesty's decree has been issued, push down all the fireballs."
The order was passed, and at the edge of the mountain top, the soldiers pushed aside the covering debris, revealing more than a hundred huge spheres.
Those spheres were all made of branches and filled with a large number of flammable substances such as saltpeter and weeds. They were prepared in advance in the camp and dragged up with ropes from the cliff of the back mountain.
At the same time as the ball was revealed, hundreds of soldiers lit torches one after another.
Li Yan grabbed a torch, lit a ball on fire a few times, then tilted the fire ball with his sword, and pushed it down with a loud shout.
The blazing fireball, like a meteor from the sky, roared and rolled away along the hillside toward Liangkou City, which was halfway up.
Almost at the same time, the other more than a hundred fireballs were all ignited and rolled towards Liangkou City all over the mountains and plains in a majestic and spectacular manner.
Li Yan stood on the edge of the mountain, watching the fireball go away, with a fanatical fighting spirit on his face.
At this moment, at the front line of the city wall, Xian Yufu was still standing solemnly, waiting to use the water cannon to give Yan Liang a blow.
After waiting for a long time, the Chu army did not come to attack. Instead, three beacon smokes were lit behind the Chu army's formation.
"General, the Chu army has not attacked for a long time and even lit up the smoke. Is there some trick?" the deputy general asked suspiciously.
Xianyu Fuben also had doubts, but when he asked his subordinates this question, he said disdainfully: "If Thief Yan wants to break our Liangkou City, he can only attack from the front. I forgive him for racking his brains to see what tricks he can come up with. There is no need." Being suspicious of gods and ghosts makes you confused.¡±
Xian Yufu suppressed his subordinates' doubts with some confident and arrogant words.
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted: "No, there is a fireball rolling down the mountain!"
This scream immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xian Yufu was also shocked and looked back anxiously.
The moment he looked back, Xian Yufu's expression was frozen in shock. His eyes were wide open and his mouth opened in an exaggerated circle, as if he had seen the most bizarre and terrifying thing in the world.
In his pupils, countless fireballs, like fire from the sky, roared and rolled down from the top of the mountain, rushing towards the north of Liangkou City all over the mountains and plains.
Liangkou City was built on a mountain. There was no city wall at all on the north side. The hundreds of fireballs were so unobstructed that they crashed into the city with the power of the hunting fire and the swooping force.
Houses collapsed and fires broke out. Countless Liangkou soldiers and civilians were either hit to death or burned to death by the fireballs without any precautions.
The area north of the city turned into a sea of ??fire in the blink of an eye.
On the top of the mountain, a huge red war flag was raised, indicating that the Chu army had revealed their presence.
Seeing the enemy flag raised on the top of the mountain, Xianyu Fuyu realized in horror that the Chu army had actually taken advantage of his unpreparedness, climbed to the top of the cliff from the cliff, and launched a fire attack on him from behind.
"How is it possible? The cliff is almost vertical. The Chu army is not an ape. How is it possible?"??Climbing up. "Knowing the truth, Xian Yufu was even more unbelievable.
That sudden change shocked Xian Yufu and his 10,000 Han troops to the point of losing their sense of proportion, and they were so confused that they didn't know how to respond.
At the moment when he lost consciousness, more than a thousand light stars rose up from the top of the mountain, like an overwhelming fire net, and enveloped the hinterland of Liangkou City.
Rocket!
That was Li Yan launching a rocket attack.
The fireball burned the north of the city into a sea of ??flames. The rockets that followed, using the height of the mountain top, shot into the central hinterland of Liangkou City at an extremely long distance. Wherever the rockets passed, the fire spread, and in the blink of an eye, countless more Fire breaks out everywhere.
"Quick, split up your troops and put out the fire!" Xian Yufu finally woke up and ordered urgently.
At this moment, in the Chu army formation at the foot of the mountain, the rumble of war drums sounded, and the sound resounded through the sky.
Yan Liang looked at the fireworks rising from the mountain and knew that Li Yan had launched an offensive. He sneered and raised his whip: "If the whole army attacks, I will make Xian Yu's assistants too busy to put out the fire."
After the order was passed, more than 100,000 Chu troops were divided into seven groups and rushed toward the southwest of Liangkou City across the mountains and plains.
