The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When the bird was frightened, it would surely disturb the guards on the mountainside. Since he couldn't hide his whereabouts, Suo xìng beat his drums and launched an offensive.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

The colony led by Chen Wu was composed of officials and soldiers from Xiangguo County, and most of them were familiar with Luling, so they marched in the forefront. Cheng Jiasuotun followed behind. In the middle of these two villages, there were dozens of squatters assigned to them by Xun Zhen.

Hearing the drumbeat of the order to fight immediately, the dozens of Zhang Shi immediately stopped, holding the crossbow in a hurry.

The crossbows used by the dozens of squatters were all powerful crossbows, but they were nearly 200 paces away, enough to cross Chen Wutun in front of them and reach the first guard barrier on the mountainside. Dozens of thick crossbow arrows flew away from the strings like electricity, and they reached the base in an instant, falling like rain.

The guards behind the first barrier were caught off guard. Many guards were sleeping, and they didn't have time to dodge at all. They could only hear the sound of "swipe", but I don't know how many crossbow arrows were almost indiscriminately. Shè hit them, and screams followed.

The thunderous drums and shrill screams mixed together, completely shattering the silence of the mountains and forests.

Chen Wu seized the opportunity that the guards on the opposite side were temporarily unable to fight back, and a series of voices urged the guards to move the wood and stones that were blocking the road. There are mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road, and there is nowhere to throw the wood and stone. According to the earlier plan, some were moved to the side of the road by the soldiers, and some were passed back.

Cheng Jia, who was at the back, saw that Chen Wu had begun to clear the wood and stones blocking the road, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers of Bentun to meet them, and continued to pass down. Next is the Jiang Qin Department, Jiang Qin also sent people forward to prepare for the relay.

Xun Zhen, Xun You, Handan Rong, Xuan Kang, Cen Rong and others in the Jiang Qin Department looked up at the top of the mountain road, Chen Wu and Cheng Jiatun, under the cover of a strong crossbow, passed the wood and stone back in an orderly manner. !... Lieutenant, I didn't expect dozens of powerful crossbows to be so powerful after they gathered in one place. Arrows fell like rain, and all were strong. Look at this posture, you don't need foot soldiers, and you can defeat Huang with only strong crossbows. The thieves have been fortified on the mountainside!"

Handan Rong had never been on the battlefield or fought a battle. When the Yellow Turbans besieged Handan earlier, although he had watched the battle at the top of the city, it was the first time he had seen dozens of powerful crossbow firing, and he was surprised and delighted. .

Xun You, Xuan Kang, etc. have been in battle for a long time, and I have seen such scenes a lot. In fact, compared to the field battle with the main force of more than 100,000 enemy and allies or the scene of thousands of bows and crossbows when tens of thousands of Han soldiers stormed the fortified city, the scene in front of me can only be seen. It's a small scene. Xun You said: "My team is attacking at night, and the thieves are unprepared. The first barrier of thieves may be broken, but the second and third ones will not be so easy."

Tonight's attack on the mountain went smoothly, but just as Xun Youzhi was worried, Chen Wu and Cheng Jia's team took advantage of the mighty arrows to remove the wood and stone blocking the road, and made persistent efforts to break through the first defender on the mountainside. After pawning the barrier, their progress stopped.

The three enemy bases on the mountainside each had about 100 guards. The guard behind the first fortress was half dead by the crossbow arrow. Because he was unprepared, the remaining 20 or 30 remnants could not withstand the onslaught of Chen Wutun. The guards behind the two barriers were not only full, but also prepared for defense. They propped up their shields, resisted two powerful crossbows one after another, and then pushed the rolling stones and pine trees to crush them.

Chen Wu was strong, wearing double armor, and just over the first barrier with a dozen or two soldiers, he was about to charge upwards. Two soldiers with slow legs and feet failed to retreat to the first barrier in time. They were hit by wood and stone, one was hit in the chest and abdomen, the other was hit in the head, and they died on the spot.

Although the first barrier of the guards was used as a cover, the wood and stone could not continue to roll down, but Chen Wutun's offensive was difficult to continue when there were trees and stones in front of him falling at any time.

Handan Rong looked up at the battle site. Although he was far apart and could not see the details, he could guess the predicament of Chen Wu and Cheng Jia being blocked by wood and stone. He looked up and saw the fire on the top of the mountain in the distance. He thought it must be Huang Beard who received the military report and was gathering his troops.

He took out the sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and said to Xun Zhen: "Lieutenant, Huang Beard may soon send troops to help, I will break down all these three barriers before his reinforcements arrive! Otherwise, the battle will be difficult. Honor is willing to go to the front to supervise the battle for the lieutenant!"

Of all the officials in Xun Zhen's mansion today, only Handan Rong is a son of the Guan family in Zhao County. He will be used in many places in the future. How could Xun Zhen let him go to the front line? He said with a smile: "Just a small fight, how can you work as a master? Besides, the master's responsibility is to fill up the ques, but it is not to supervise the battle."

Without Xun Zhen's permission, Handan Rong could only return his sword to the sheath.

Xun Zhen watched the battle situation, and ordered: "Order Zhang Shi to set a target, and order Chen Wu and Cheng Jia to rush for a while."

The messenger flew up to give the order.

Xun Zhen called Jiang Qin again, and ordered, "Tell your troops to prepare for battle."

Jiang Qin took the order and went to make arrangements.

The messenger rushed to the front line and relayed Xun Zhen's order to Chen Wu, Cheng Jia and Qi Zhangshi.

Zhang Shiju was an old soldier, and he resolutely obeyed Xun Zhen's orders. After receiving the order, the guards behind the second barrier also began to shoot arrows. Let go.

Chen Wu is trying his best to make a great contribution in this attack on the mountain. He knows that the soldiers in Bentun are all new soldiers, and under the threat of rolling stones, wood, and arrows, I am afraid that few have. Courageously rushing up, Suo xìng did not bring too many people, only selected more than ten Xiangguo youths who had been with him for a long time, holding a spear and said: "The lieutenant used me to wait for the first move, and had high hopes for me, and now But I just broke a thief's base and I was blocked on the road. I really have no face to see the lieutenant! The lieutenant has given me a lot of grace, and I should repay it with death now! Would you like to strike from me?"

Xun Zhen tied Chen Wu with kindness and righteousness, and Chen Wu tied the dozen or so teenagers with kindness and righteousness. The dozen or so teenagers responded in unison, "I would like to strike at the front of your majesty!"

Chen Wu was not a talkative person, so he immediately ran forward with his spear, climbed over the first barrier, and rushed towards the second barrier with the dozen teenagers.

The more than ten teenagers he took with him were all accustomed to walking in the mountains for a long time, and they were all agile. Although there were rolling stones and pine trees falling from the top, but under the cover of the soldiers, they still advanced very fast. Quickly, facing the falling rocks, or jumping to avoid, or grabbing the bushes on the mountain wall and swinging to avoid, after paying the price of three casualties, rushed over the distance of fifty paces.

Chen Wu threw his spear and stabbed to death an archer who was about to shoot down an arrow behind the barrier. He grabbed the wood and stone protruding from the barrier, and the monkey also climbed up the barrier with a height of one and a half people, with a knife in his hand, Leaping down from the base, slashing left and right, walking along the narrow mountain road, in a blink of an eye, four or five blocking enemies were brought down. Behind him, slashed forward.

In the Jiang Qin Department, Xun Zhen and others saw the scene of Chen Wu leading people over the barrier, and Xuan Kang said: "Now I know why the lieutenant decided to start with Chen Wu and Cheng Jia!"

If nothing else, only Chen Wu and the young men he brought with him were agile in hiding from rocks and climbing walls, and they couldn't find much in Xun Zhen's clan. After all, most of Xun Zhen's headquarters are from the plains, and they rarely have experience in mountain climbing. Chen Bao is considered to be agile, but his flexibility is limited to the flat ground. On the mountain road, dodging the wood and stone like a monkey did not succeed.

Cheng Jia, who was behind, saw that Chen Wu had led someone into the second barrier, and ordered the soldiers to rush forward.

Handan Rong's hand that tightly held the hilt of the sword loosened slightly, he was half relieved, and said, "This second thief barrier is about to be broken."

Xun You pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Huangbeard's reinforcements have come down."

Everyone looked up and saw a fiery snake descending from the top of the mountain along the mountain path.

It was less than five watch at this time, the night was deep, and the fire snake was very conspicuous under the moonlight on the top of the mountain.
