Li Xiao's whole army rested at Crouching Tiger Pass for the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This night, although Li Xiao has arranged for the spear and shield soldiers to be strictly defended, but throughout the night, there were no bandits who came to harass him, and **** Xiao was a little surprised.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Li Xiaojun continued to move forward.

On the way to the second pass, Qinglong Pass, it was also quite smooth. Although there were small-scale bandits who fired arrows on the steep slopes along the road to disturb the attack, Li Xiaojun lined up a row of firearms, and these bandits could only wail and flee away.

Li Xiao secretly rejoiced that his biggest advantage in attacking Squatting Dog Mountain this time was that he was taken by surprise and could catch the bandits off guard. Otherwise, if those bandits had learned the news in advance and prepared rolling stones and rafts on the steep slopes on both sides, their own attack would have been quite troublesome.

More than half an hour later, the whole army arrived at the Qinglong Pass.

Seeing the distant Qinglong Pass, the shadows of those bandits with blurred faces swaying on the wall, Li Xiao's entire army felt that this battle was just a replica of the routine of capturing Crouching Tiger Pass at dusk yesterday.

There's nothing wrong with their feelings.

Because the battle to capture Qinglong Pass is much easier than Crouching Tiger Pass.

Six Hongyi cannons bombarded in turn, and one by one the twelve-pound jet-black solid iron bullets kept roaring and bombarding the wall of Qinglong Pass. This battle simply became an actual combat drill for Zhao Jie and a group of artillerymen to shoot fixed targets.

The bandits on the pass, despite Li Xiaojun's bombardment, but none of them dared to go out to fight, but as the bombardment progressed, the bandits on the pass became fewer and fewer, and I don't know whether they fled or hid.

After more than 30 cannons, the Qinglong Pass in the distance finally collapsed.

Li Xiao looked around, and there was only a pile of rubble and ruins in Qinglong Pass opposite, where there was still a shadow of bandits.

In Li Xiao's heart, he suddenly remembered something, which made his strong heart tremble suddenly.

He turned his head and shouted at Wang Yishou, the captain of the Flying Harrier: "Yishou, quickly lead the Flying Harrier to rush through the pass with all his might, and be sure to go all out to capture the Qingteng Bridge behind the pass!" ”

Wang Yishou, who was immersed in the joy of winning again, was suddenly awakened by Li Xiao's roar, and immediately rushed up with all 60 flying harriers.

The horses' hooves rumbled, and Fang bypassed the large pile of rubble in Qinglong Pass, and Wang Yishou saw from a distance that the bandits who had all run over the end of the Qingteng Bridge were frantically cutting off the last implicated Qingteng of the Qingteng Bridge!

"Brothers, rush over the bridge, and don't let the bandits cut it!" Wang Yishou hissed and roared.

It's late.

When Wang Yishou and a group of flying harriers rushed to the cliff next to the bridge, they only heard a loud "click", and the Qingteng Suspension Bridge, the only passage from this sheep intestine trail into the top of the doghead ridge, had been cut off by bandits from the other end.

"Whoa!"

The sound of the broken Qingteng Bridge smashing on the cliff wall made Li Xiao, who had rushed over on a horse, his heart sink suddenly.

Sure enough, my worries finally became a reality.

This deep ravine, which was called the Eagle Sorrow Stream by Monk An, has become a moat that he can no longer cross.

Li Xiao reined in the horse's hooves, his expression was as sharp as iron.

"it! It's still a step too late! Duan Shi, the spearman sentry, looked furious, stomped his feet and cursed.

Li Xiao jumped off the horse and looked down at a deep ravine in front of him that was more than ten meters wide.

This eagle stream, according to Monk An, may be hundreds of meters deep, and the sides are like straight lines, and if there is no suspension bridge, it is absolutely impassable.

Li Xiao was extremely annoyed in his heart, only a few steps away, he could cross the Eagle Sorrow Stream before the bandits cut down the Qingteng Suspension Bridge, and reach the last stronghold of the bandits, Goutouling, but the result was that the bandits were one step ahead of schedule, which is a pity.

Now, the plan to capture Goutouling through the Qingteng Suspension Bridge and wipe out all the bandits has come to naught.

Wang Yishou, Mo Changrong and other generals stood on both sides of Li Xiao, and their faces were also full of melancholy and unwillingness.

A sergeant came to report that the Qinglong Pass had not seized any food and weapons, and it seemed that the bandits had transferred all these strategic materials last night.

Li Xiao let out an expressionless sigh, signaled that he knew, and let the sergeant leave.

These bandits, although incompetent in combat, are also quite cunning, knowing that it is difficult to confront themselves head-on, so they simply come to a strong wall to clear the stronghold and confront themselves to wear out.

What's next?

Could it be that he can only be like Zhang Xutuo of the Sui Dynasty, relying on the technique of siege, and use a year to force the bandits on the ridge to surrender?

This kind of long-term confrontation situation is definitely not what Li Xiao wants to see.

Compared with the bandits with plenty of food and grass, Li Xiaojun can't afford to consume it, he has limited food and grass, and if it takes nearly a year to consume such a remnant of hundreds of bandits, it will be a major blow to the morale and morale of his own side.

Li Xiao, whose heart was like a mess, paced repeatedly by the bottomless deep stream, like a sleepy tiger.

When Li Xiaojun was sitting in the city of sorrow, there was jubilation in the Hidden Cloud Cave of Goutouling.

"Hu Lao, come, Ben should give you a drink!"

Holding a big wine glass high with one eye, he saluted the Hu Mouse with a smile, and said with a big laugh: "Grandma's, it's still your Hu Mouse who has a good plan, this time, unless Li Xiao has wings, don't think about this eagle sorrow!" ”

Hu Lao raised his wine glass with a smile on his face and replied, "The big boss is polite." That Li Xiaojun, the battle is sharp, it is difficult to fight head-on, but our army has the advantage of geographical advantages and grain and grass, in such a plan, it is to use the strength of our army to attack the shortcomings of Li Xiaojun! Now that our army has enough food and grass, we will consume it here with him and drag it out! Then Li Xiao came to me to squat in Dog Mountain, and the grain and grass will inevitably be insufficient, as long as we spend another month, Li Xiao will definitely have to withdraw due to lack of food. Even if he dies and does not retreat, by that time, we will have been recuperating for a long time, and Li Xiaojun is a veteran of the division, and our army will attack with all its strength, and we will definitely be able to kill him by surprise and annihilate Li Xiaojun in one fell swoop! ”

After Hu Lao finished this long sentence, the audience laughed. Every bandit leader felt that this was the right way to win.

Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed.

Li Xiao, who had been standing on the edge of the eagle stream, was thinking very devotedly, and he didn't notice at all that Monk An quietly came to his side.

"Master Li, I have a plan down." Monk An said hesitantly, but there was an inexplicable solemn look on his face.

"Oh, what is Brother An's plan, I can say it." Li Xiao came back to his senses and hurriedly said to him.

Monk An took a step forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have been in this squatting dog mountain for a long time, and I have learned that from the north foot of this green dragon's back, there is a section of cliff at the bottom of the highest peak, Goutou Ridge. ”

The gloom on Li Xiao's face was swept away, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother An, do you know how high that cliff is?" Is the climb easy? ”

Monk An scratched his head, but there was a worried look on his face: "My lord, the cliff is nearly 20 zhang high, the cliff is steep, and it is very difficult to climb. ”

Li Xiao gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Our army is now trapped here, it is rare to have such a way out, even if it is dangerous, it needs to be tried." ”

Li Xiao immediately called the generals to arrange the next action plan.

Until dusk, the bandits looked across the Eagle Sorrow Stream, and Li Xiao's whole army did not move.

"It seems that this Li Xiao really plans to fight against our army." One eye put down the clairvoyant, and his face was full of sneers.

"Whatever! We will accompany him to consume, our department has at least nearly a year's worth of food, he Li Xiao dares to fight to consume, Lao Tzu accompanies him! Rats gritted their teeth and said.

Li Xiaojun had no intention of attacking, and the happiest were the bandits.

These bandits who were scared by Li Xiao, everyone was thinking, damn it, they can finally take a breath and don't have to be so tight. Affected by this mentality, soon, the bandits on the dog head ridge were obviously slack.

In the twilight, Li Xiao took Mo Changrong and Duan Shidi, as well as the veteran spearmen of more than 100 people selected, followed the guide Monk An, and quietly came to the place at the northern foot of Qinglongbei's back that met the Goutouling cliff.

Everyone who came here secretly was a capable person wearing a straitjacket, leggings, and a sharp sword at his waist.

After Li Xiao finished telling all the personnel about the battle plan for climbing and assaulting from the cliff here, he silently tied the thick hemp rope around his waist, and then began to prepare to climb up from the foot of the cliff.

Mo Changrong stopped him, this rough northwest man, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "My lord, climbing this cliff is very dangerous, and it is by no means easy. If you step on the air, it will be a disaster of broken bones. Adults are soldiers of the whole army, how can they throw thousands of dollars lightly! There is also courage in the future, but please be the pioneer on behalf of Lord Li! ”

Without saying a word, he was about to untie the rope around Li Xiao's waist, but was pushed away by Li Xiao.

"Changrong, it's not that the official is boasting, your martial arts and strength are all under me, if you want to climb this cliff, wouldn't the risk be greater! This cliff will be climbed by me Li Xiao first, don't say more! Li Xiao said coldly, but his face was full of determination.

Monk An, Mo Changrong, Duan Shidi and others stepped forward together, repeatedly begged Li Xiao, and asked them to go to the cliff instead of him to avoid accidents.

"Needless to say! The official will go first, this is a military order, and it must not be violated! ”

Li Xiao drank coldly and categorically, so that everyone didn't dare to say more.

"Everyone's thoughts, I, Li Xiao, have understood it. It's just that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! Our army is now in such a predicament, and if we do not take this decisive move, we will only follow the old path of Zhang Xutuo of the Sui Dynasty and confront it with each other. Besides, how can there be so much grain and grass to consume here! Everyone, whether you can successfully take the dog head ridge depends on the ability of the official! Li Xiao put aside this sentence, gritted his teeth fiercely, and then tightened the hemp rope that had been tied firmly around his waist, and then stepped up the rock with agility.
