Chapter 420: The mountain is difficult to cross, who is sad and lost?
Tongguan is surrounded by mountains, backed by Weiluo, and close to the Yellow River, if you look down from a high place, it is like a man-made jewel between the mountains and the big river.
Coupled with its unique regional location, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.
In the early years, when Tongguan was just established, and there were not so many cultural relics, the narrow road was even allowed to pass through only one person.
It is one of the most famous and powerful fortresses in China.
In the dynasty, although the political status and regional location of Tongguan have been decentralized a lot for various reasons, the powerful legacy still makes Tongguan feel like it cannot be broken.
After Liu Fangliang was appointed as the commander of the Liumin Army in Tongguan, he vigorously repaired many fortifications, and gradually expanded the fortifications on the eastern front into a group and became more and more large.
Moreover, Liu Fangliang is extremely experienced, the original military tun households in Tongguan have been transferred to the rear by him, and the entertainment venues have also been cleaned, and Tongguan at this time is completely a pure fortress.
Zhou Laosi's house is not far from the majestic wall.
When he entered Hai, he saw that there didn't seem to be much unusual around, so he cautiously climbed up to the beam, lifted a few tiles, and the cat went out of the roof to check the surrounding state.
The night breeze blows faintly.
The huge Tongguan City was quiet everywhere, only the figures of the armor soldiers hurrying by against the background of the blazing bonfire on the wall, and the howling of wild beasts from time to time in the surrounding mountains and forests, made him realize that there were more than 20,000 elite soldiers in this fortress at this time.
"Fourth master, I'm afraid this battle is not easy. The thieves' defense is very tight, from this house to our mule and horse team, at least half a mile apart, and besides, the city is heavily defended, there are three lines of defense, even if we get in touch with the mule and horse team, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through......"
At this time, a dark and thin man carefully reported to Zhou Laosi below.
Zhou Laosi only showed his shoulders above the roof, and his brows furrowed tightly when he heard this.
In the past, he really looked down on the Wandering Army, and always thought that the Wandering Army was a group of useless and unsuccessful rabble.
However, at this time, he was really in the Tongguan fortress under the control of the Wandering Army, and he realized that it was no accident that the Wandering Army could come to this day.
If it was an official army, even if their Datong army controlled this fortress, how could it be possible that there was not even a single woman left in the city?
Isn't this fucking day going to fade out of the birds?
However, the Wanderers did it!
Moreover, the defense everywhere is almost meticulous!
At their current form, they have little chance of ......
"Fuck it, this Liu Fangliang is really a character!"
Zhou Laosi smacked hard in his heart, if he didn't really have no choice, how could he, a Sven person, come to do this kind of work with his head pinned to his trouser belt.
But at this time, it's already like this, no matter how difficult it is, he still has to do things!
If he doesn't do it, not only will he be unlucky, but his wife and children, his mother and uncle will have to be buried with him.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Laosi suddenly had an idea in his heart, and whispered to the black and thin man below: "Send someone to climb over the wall and go to the courtyard one mile to the west to have a fire!" Remember, choose reliable people, even if there is an accident, you can't poke us out! β
The black and thin man is Wang Pu's house slave, and when he received this task, he understood his fate, and at the same time, he had to keep an eye on Zhou Laosi.
At this time, when he heard Zhou Laosi's strategy, he rolled his eyes a few times, and then understood Zhou Laosi's intentions, and nodded hurriedly: "Fourth master, I will arrange it immediately." β
Soon, a few black shadows, like raccoon cats, quietly touched the yard.
β¦β¦
At this time, in the official hall of Tongguan City, Liu Fangliang had not rested, and had not even taken off his armor, wearing a cotton coat in addition to silver armor, and drinking a little wine with peanuts with great interest.
Just like the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the upper echelons of the Displaced People's Army implemented a chicken soup feeding policy for the lower levels, but among the upper echelons, the levels that should be in place are still in place.
Liu Fangliang only drinks a little wine now, which is already very economical.
"Master, they moved!"
Here, Liu Fangliang had just picked up a peanut and was about to put it in his mouth, when the soldier suddenly came over to report it, his face was full of frost.
"Huh?"
Liu Fangliang's brows froze instantly, "Where did you go?" β
"It should be the direction of the official hall, and the lowly position has already laid a net outside."
The soldiers showed a smile with some excitement, but this smile was full of cruelty!
Liu Fangliang nodded slowly and took a sip of wine: "Don't worry, when they do it, you can do it again!" β
"Yes!"
Watching the soldiers leave, Liu Fangliang narrowed his eyes vigorously: "I love you as a talent, I wanted to leave you a way to live, but why are you just not interesting?" Is it really that difficult to do some business with our Dashun Dynasty?! β
β¦β¦
"It's water, it's water!"
"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"
Near the end of the day, a fire suddenly broke out in a mansion not far from the official hall of Tongguan City, which was mixed with a crackling and popping sound.
This quickly caused chaos in the city, and countless figures rushed out and began to put out the fire.
The wisdom of the working people is boundless.
The fire prevention facilities of the ancient people have been very scientific, and they are all lessons learned from countless blood and tears, especially the fortress of Tongguan City, which is even more so in this regard.
In addition, the surrounding houses are inhabited by officers of the Wandering Army, which is very efficient.
Even if Zhou Laosi chose a very tricky location to set the fire, and a little wind could burn it elsewhere and spread, it was quickly controlled by buckets of well water, and it only burned to three houses.
In the heat of firefighting, Liu Fangliang's personal soldiers watched coldly from afar, and did not have any fear, but laughed more and more cruelly.
He had already begun to think about what means he was going to use to peel off Zhou Laosi's scalp and make it into his spoils.
"Boom!"
"Boom Rumble......
However, just when a group of honest homeless soldiers were about to go to the house to extinguish the fire and completely extinguish the fire, a big explosion suddenly occurred in the courtyard, and dozens of unlucky ghosts were directly overturned.
The pro-soldier's face was also pale, and he hurriedly rushed forward, "What's the matter?" β
"Master, I don't know, there seems to be something inside, and it must be controlled as soon as possible!"
"it, the dog thing is really yin! Go, put out the fire! β
The soldiers didn't have time to take care of anything else for a while, if the fire was not controlled, it would easily ignite the official hall, and then he would disturb Liu Fangliang, and he couldn't afford to take this responsibility.
Just when the firefighting was in full swing here, Zhou Laosi gritted his teeth, gathered his relatives around him and said: "Rush over and blow up the city!" β
"Yes!"
The dozens of them didn't rely on any skill, they just threw torches around as they went, mixed with some small fire oil bombs, and rushed straight to the mule and horse camp.
The mule and horse camp had been preparing for a long time, and soon it was the same rhythm, and the people on both sides complemented each other, which suddenly caused a big chaos on the side of Guancheng, and they converged strongly.
"Brothers, rush! If you blow up Guancheng, we will all have a reward, and the official will be promoted to three levels! β
Although the situation is a crisis, against the backdrop of the countless burning flames around him, the blood in Zhou Laosi's heart has also been ignited, and the adrenaline soars infinitely, roaring loudly.
"Rush! Meritorious service, right now! β
"Boomβ"
"Boom, boomβ"
For a time, a vigorous bamboo tube hand. Pomegranate. The sound of the bullet popping rang out continuously, stirring up countless rubble and gravel, and more flames rose up.
Rao is exile army has long been prepared, but many people have seen the power of the flowering bomb for the first time, and before they have time to react to what happened, they have already died on the spot.
In just a few minutes, he was really rushed under the wall by Zhou Laosi and others.
"Blow it up, blow up all the dogs!"
Zhou Laosi didn't know what he was afraid of at this time, and his eyes showed a fierce light, and he laughed like a ghost.
None of the surrounding soldiers dared to slack off, and hurriedly piled up the explosives bags they were carrying, and quickly drew out the lead.
"Boom!"
"Boom ......"
Not long after, the terrifying sound of crackling resounded through the heavens and the earth again, threatening to tear this quiet night into pieces, even the many wild animals on the Qinling Mountains felt the vibration, and ran away in panic.
However, the solidity of the Tongguan city wall far exceeded the imagination of Zhou Laosi and others.
This kind of explosive package of the same magnitude only blew up a small part of the Tongguan city wall, and the city gate was not blown open.
And there is still an urn city outside the city gate, and there is an outer wall outside the urn city, but they are running out of explosives packs.
"Catch them!"
"Dog's official dog, Lao Tzu is going to take their hearts and livers to drink!"
"Kill these shit pieces!"
Not far behind him, a group of elites of the exile army who had blown up Mao had quickly enveloped them.
At this moment, Zhou Laosi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he figured out what it meant when Xu Changqing patted him on the shoulder when he was leaving.
This is a point of no return......
It's a pity that he doesn't have any choice now!
"Brothers, we're all doing well, fighting with these mud legs! Even if he dies in battle, with Uncle Zhongyi here, he will definitely not treat our family badly! Kill one without losing money, kill two to earn one, fight hard......"
In Zhou Laosi's life, he has never been as manly as he is at this moment, roaring like a wolf.
"Haha, the fourth master is good, isn't it just a life, his head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, the handsome man will definitely take care of our family!"
"My model army wins-"
"Wan Shengβ"
In a moment, countless voices of response sounded around them, all of them were the sons and daughters of the model army.
Zhou Laosi's tears have fallen.
In a trance, he seemed to return to the scene when he was a child, in the old house with four walls at home, studying hard against the bitter cold wind.
He was once deeply fascinated by the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" by Wang Bo, a great genius in the early Tang Dynasty, and there was a sentence in it that he still remembers deeply: "The mountain is difficult to cross, who is sad and lost?" When we meet in Pingshui, we are all guests from other places......"
But now, everything is to no avail, this is the path he chose by himself that he did not resist Xu Changqing's temptation!
It has reached this point, and everything is just the last step in the door, and he must save his evening and complete his last mission......
Thinking about it, Zhou Laosi hurriedly wiped away his tears, and while shouting, he scanned his surroundings like an eagle falcon.
Even if he is certain to die, he must ensure that these personal cores are all with him on the road, and must not be left to the outcasts!
It's just that as those fierce and vicious figures approached step by step, Zhou Laosi suddenly found that he didn't seem to need to do anything, and the consciousness of these relatives was much higher than he thought.
No one of them surrendered at all, let alone begged for mercy, and they were like wolves and tigers, desperately following the rushing figures.
"Boom!"
"Boom Rumble......
At this moment, in the east direction, there was a sudden sound of fierce continuous crackling, and a strong sense of vibration could be felt here.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhou Laosi's mouth, he knew that it was the main force of Uncle Xu Changqing and their handsome, and he finally made a move!
Even if he dies at this time, the two uncles will definitely avenge them!
"Whoosh!"
"Hmm......"
Here, Zhou Laosi just wanted to turn around and take a look at the majestic high wall, when suddenly a strong wind flashed, and something sharp had penetrated his chest.
But somehow, he suddenly smiled even happier, and the old mansion with four walls of the family appeared in front of him again, as well as the sound of Lang Lang's reading: "It's a pity that Feng Tang is easy to be old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal ......"
