"That's right! We can't withdraw now! ”

"The thief army stopped advancing only because it was dark and it was not suitable for marching, and the thief army did not notice the ambush we had made on Xitou Mountain!"

"Besides, we also have ambush outposts around Xitou Mountain, and we haven't seen any scouts from the Han army coming to investigate."

...... "People, every word you say, every word I say, are opposed to withdrawing now."

Several senior elders in the center of the crowd looked at each other and said nothing about evacuating.

They are senior, older, and more experienced, but so many people on the scene opposed the withdrawal, and they did not dare to force the public to give the order to retreat.

It is estimated that even if such an order is given, everyone present will not listen to them, and if they can't get it right, the two sides will have to argue, or even fight.

They discussed in a low voice, and finally decided not to withdraw for the time being, to see how the Han army reacted.

After the Han army set up camp near Xitou Mountain, the whole army rested, and there was no intention of sending troops to attack Xitou Mountain.

Seeing this, those suspicious and experienced old rivers and lakes also thought that the Han army had indeed not discovered their ambush on Xitou Mountain, and gradually settled down.

The next day, at the ugly hour, that is, at more than one o'clock in the morning, three black shadows quietly popped out of the Han army camp.

These three black shadows disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

Near the Han army camp, there are two Jianghu people as secret sentries, secretly monitoring the Han army's every move.

It's just that these two people are not together, one is hiding in the northeast of the Han army camp, and the other is hiding in the northwest of the Han army camp.

As long as the Han army marched north, it could not escape the eyes of these two secret sentinels.

In the dark sentry in the northwest, he was a sturdy man of about thirty years old, dressed in black, with black boots on his feet, holding a black cloth towel on his head, and his face was covered with black cloth.

He crouched under the tree and did not move, and even if someone walked within five steps of him, they might not be able to see him.

Just as he was concentrating on the Han army camp, he suddenly heard a commotion in the forest.

The man in black was shocked, subconsciously held the saber under his ribs, and raised his eyes to look around.

It was too dark, and the forest he chose was so dense that it completely blocked the moonlight and starlight in the night sky, and he couldn't see anything.

Rustle! Suddenly there was a sound behind him.

The man in black was shocked, and with a sound of sand, his sword was unsheathed, turned back, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Who is it?" ”

He didn't see anyone, but a pair of green eyes.

Not people! The man in black was secretly frightened, and subconsciously took a step back, and before he could react, the pair of green eyes suddenly flickered and disappeared opposite him, and the rustling sound kept coming from all around him.

The black-clothed man's sword-wielding hand trembled involuntarily.

He couldn't see the green-eyed master, but he could feel that the green-eyed owner had been staring at him.

He couldn't tell where the sound was coming from, he kept turning his body in place with his sword in hand, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead and sideburns.

The voice disappeared to his left, and the man in black immediately pointed to the left with his sword.

He squinted his eyes, used all his strength, and looked closely, but still couldn't see anything.

He swallowed his spit, boldly and walked forward step by step, and there was nothing but stout trees.

Where did it go?

Where's that damn green-eyed run?

He was turning his head to look around when he heard a banging sound over his head.

He subconsciously looked up, only to see a black shadow burst out of the branches and pounce on him from the air.

There was no time to react, and this was the last scene that the man in black saw.

Poof! The body of the man in black fell to the ground on his back, and on his corpse, stood a black leopard, the two front paws of the leopard were deeply embedded in his shoulders, and the fangs of the leopard had already bitten his throat.

There was no sound, no struggle, it was a one-hit kill.

The panther's head was pulled to the side, and the throat of the man in black was completely torn open, blood gushed out, and the man in black opened his eyes until he died, and he didn't see clearly what killed him.

This black panther, of course, is black hair.

In the dark environment, people can't see everything around them clearly, but the leopard can, the leopard's night eye, sees the night as day, even if it can't see, it can smell the scent of people.

The dark post in the northwest was solved by the black hair, and the dark post in the northeast was not much better.

The big flower attracted the attention of the dark whistle in the northeast, but just when the other party was engrossed, as if staring at the big flower of the enemy, Ermao, who was lying in ambush in the grass, suddenly jumped out, pounced on the side of the dark whistle, and bit his neck, at that time, the dark whistle even clearly heard the sound of his neck bone breaking, and the same as the black hair, Ermao was also killed with one blow, biting the other party to death on the spot.

Solve the secret outposts lying in ambush around his camp, Liu Xiu took five hundred elites, took the first step, and went to Xitou Mountain.

Geng Yi, Gai Yan, and Cho period, the generals, led the main force of the Han army, followed closely behind, and quietly marched to Xitou Mountain.

These Jianghu people also ambushed a lot of secret posts at the foot of Xitou Mountain, but their fate was the same as that of the dark posts ambushed near the Han army camp, and they were bitten to death in the forest one by one by Hei Mao, Da Hua and Ermao without knowing it.

What the Han army feared the most was the secret sentry of these Jianghu people, in the dark night, they hid in the woods, and there was no way to find out, but their own actions, the eyeliners hidden in the dark can know everything about it, which will undoubtedly expose the actions of the Han army in advance.

Now with the help of Heimao, Dahua, and Ermao, it can be regarded as solving the most difficult problem of the Han army.

Looking at the black hair, big flower, and ermao who ran back with their mouths full of blood, Liu Xiu squatted down, touched the top of their heads, and then asked people to take the sauced beef that had been prepared and distribute it to the two tigers and one leopard.

Since tasting the delicacy of soy sauce beef, Hei Mao, Da Hua, and Er Mao have a soft spot for soy sauce beef, and they circle around Liu Xiu all day long, hoping to get a bite of food from him.

Liu Xiu also took advantage of this, concealed Xin Linglu, and let Heimao, Dahua, and Ermao secretly do things for themselves.

The means are not glamorous, but the results are excellent.

Even Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei, Luo You and others, when they looked at the two tigers and one leopard, their eyes unconsciously showed admiration.

The five hundred elites led by Liu Xiu were completely quietly connected to the foot of Xitou Mountain.

Looking up, even though this is the slowest slope of Xitou Mountain, the slope is almost close to 60 degrees.

With such a steep slope, pushing down a stone from the top of the mountain, as long as the weight is heavy enough, it can be rolled from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and everyone in this line will probably be crushed into flesh.

Brother and sister of the Lian family, don't deceive me, this Xitou Mountain is really easy to defend and difficult to attack! Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked up, looked at it for a while, and sighed, he retracted his gaze and waved his hand to the people around him.

Five hundred elites, including Xuying, Xuting, Xufei, and Luoyou, began to climb the hillside one after another.

With such a steep hill, it is indeed impossible to walk, you can only climb with your hands and feet, and only in this way can you fix your body on the hillside and not slide down halfway.

Hei Mao is good at climbing, and soon, he passed Liu Xiu and the others.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was afraid that Hei Mao would expose his whereabouts, so he whispered: "Hei Mao, come back quickly!" ”

Standing on the hillside, the black fur looked back at Liu Xiu condescendingly, the leopard's face was expressionless, and he looked cute, but his eyes showed a haughty look.

After watching Liu Xiu, it didn't listen to Liu Xiu's command and continued to run up the mountain.

Liu Zhang also passed past Liu Xiu with a sigh, the latter was quick and fast, grabbed Liu Zhang's back shirt firmly, he frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Zhang'er! ”

"Uncle, the black fur is rushing up, I have to get ahead of it!"

When Liu Xiu heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he pulled Liu Zhang fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! Go back to the back, dare to overtake me again, you can give me down the mountain as soon as possible! ”

As the king of Taiyuan, Liu Zhang is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is only afraid of Liu Xiu.

His father died, his second uncle also died, and his direct elders were only Liu Xiu and Liu Liang.

Liu Xiu is different, for Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu is not only the Son of Heaven and the emperor, but also like a father and a brother.

Liu Xiuzhen started a fire, and Liu Zhang was also trembling.

"This has to be managed, that has to be managed, and I am not as good as the black-haired beast."

Liu Zhang was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to disobey, and muttered in his mouth, so that people couldn't hear what he was muttering.

Liu Xiu glared at him again and continued to climb upward, while narrowing his eyes and carefully looking at the black hair that had run a long way.

At such a distance, others could no longer see where Hei Mao was, but Liu Xiu could see it clearly.

I saw that the black hair ran to a raised mountain rock, and never came out again.

Liu Xiu secretly said that it was not good, it was originally a slow climb, but it immediately turned into a rapid climb.

The gravel and sand on the hillside flowed straight down.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was speeding up, how dare the rest of the people lag behind, they all used all their strength to climb the hillside.

Liu Xiu was sweating on the top of his head, and finally came to the protruding rock, and looked behind him, only to see that the black hair was lying on the ground leisurely, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood.

And beside it, there was a gray-clad Jianghu man, whose throat was about to be bitten open, blood flowed all over the ground, and the person was already dead.

Seeing Liu Xiu follow, Hei Mao turned his head to look at him, and then slowly stood up, his two front paws grabbed the stone, and the black panther's body was almost upright, and with the help of the stone, he stretched his waist.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was shocked and amused.

Surprised, he didn't expect that the other party would arrange a secret whistle halfway up the mountain, and it was funny that the black hair was indeed arrogant, and he was almost fine.

"Ahh The black hair is biting a secret whistle here again! ”

Liu Zhang, who came up, lowered his voice and cheered in surprise and joy.

He walked up to Heimao, took a large piece of beef beef with sauce out of the food sac, and handed it to Heimao's mouth.

Then he hugged the neck of the black hair and said with a smile: "The black hair is really amazing!" ”

The big black panther lowered its head and sniffed the sauced beef, its head was raised high, looking very disdainful, and before Liu Zhang could react, its head suddenly lowered downward, and a large piece of sauced beef had been rolled into its mouth.

On the top of the mountain.

There were two quacks keeping vigil.

One of them pulled his companion next to him and asked, "Lao Luo, there seems to be movement under the mountain just now, did you hear it?" ”

Another Jianghu man looked dazed and said, "I didn't hear it!" Did you hear it wrong? ”

"I feel like someone is going up the mountain, or shall we go down and have a look?"

Another Jianghu man stood up, looked down, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Where is there anyone?"

Okay, don't scare yourself, besides, there is the sixth child guarding the mountainside, if someone really goes up the mountain, the sixth will already come to report the news! ”

The Jianghu man thought for a moment and said, "My right eyelid is always jumping, it's not a good sign, let's ...... Let's go down and have a look! ”

Another Jianghu man looked unhappy, and said indignantly: "I think you just have nothing to do...... Before he finished speaking, he saw the companion in front of him suddenly shook, his eyes were wide and round, and his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word.

Looking down, I saw an arrow stuck in his neck, which entered from the left side of his neck, and the arrow poked out from the right side of his neck.
