This steep cliff, not to mention these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, is also an unclimbable cliff for the mountain people who grow here. But for these more than 100 carefully selected Jianghu people, it is nothing.

Luo Xin is rich, very rich.

He has a carriage and horse shop, a dart game, and also participates in the southern city and the northern mutual market, which can be said to be a daily profit.

As long as there is money, at least in the rivers and lakes, it is almost invincible.

Rivers and lakes!

It's a Vanity Fair!

Wang Cuiqiao threw out a lot of money, almost all the masters of the rivers and lakes, and carefully selected more than 100 people from these masters of the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, for others, it is a cliff of the sky, and for them, although it is not as smooth as walking on the ground, it is not much difficult.

At this time, General Wang and General Li had already led their respective armies and quietly ambushed more than a hundred meters away from the mouth of the valley. Luo Xin and the generals stood in the rear, under the moonlight, looking at the mouth of the valley opposite.

He Xinyin sighed softly and said, "In all dynasties, the mountain people were the most headache for the imperial court. The complex terrain of mountains, river valleys, cliffs, sheep intestine trails, and dense forests is not only difficult to walk, but also easier to get lost in the endless old forest. ”

"yes!" Yun Zhiqiu put his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and said with emotion: "As soon as the imperial army arrives, they will retreat into the old forest and come without a trace." No, what is your plan? ”

Luo Xin looked up at the cliff and said in a low voice: "It's almost over!" ”

Midnight!

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

On the cliff ridges on both sides of the valley, more than a hundred people had already climbed on it at this time, and on each ridge, there were more than sixty people. More than 100 people were lined up along the ridge at this time, each carrying two bamboo tubes on their backs, more than 100 were lying on the ridge, one person took out a fire fold, pulled out the lid, the flame rose, the man held the fire fold in the air, drew three circles, from the opposite ridge, there was also a little firelight, and drew three circles in the night sky.

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, saw the firelight on the ridge, and whispered to the herald beside him:

"Order, let General Wang and General Li prepare for battle."

"Yes!" The herald bent his waist and quietly left.

He Xinyin and the others didn't notice the fire on the ridge, and when they heard Luo Xin's order, they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts, but they didn't want to ask, so they all opened their eyes wide and looked towards the mouth of the valley. But they didn't notice the ridge above.

Above the ridge.

The fire fold that had been drawn in three circles disappeared, and everyone on the ridge took down a bamboo tube from their backs, which was filled with tung oil and had a thick lead outside, and it was lit with the fire fold, and it immediately burned like torches.

"Whoosh ......"

More than 100 bamboo tubes filled with tung oil were thrown into the valley, and the bamboo tubes were still falling in the air, and the more than 100 people had already taken down the second bamboo tube, lit it, and threw it into the valley.

within the valley.

More than 3,000 people who could fight were guarding the mouth of the valley, they slept on the ground, ready to fight at any time, and there were only a dozen people, with their backs to the valley, facing the outside of the valley with their eyes wide open, and watching.

"Huh?"

Although their backs were to the valley, they felt that the sky seemed to be a little brighter, and they couldn't help but look up, and then turn back......

"What's that?"

"The stars have fallen?"

In their field of vision, they saw countless lights, descending from the sky like stars.

"Bang ......"

The light fell from the high cliff to the ground, and fell in all directions of the valley, counting down.

Some fell on the farm's house in the field, some on the roof of the wooden house, and some in the woods......

The bamboo tube shattered, and the tung oil spilled out, spreading in all directions.

"Boom ......"

Fire starts......

The sky was full of fire, and the valley instantly became a sea of fire, and in the valley, the sky was dry and dry, and there were combustible things everywhere, but in a moment, the sea of fire became a piece.

Countless people rushed out of the huts, but into another sea of fire, and most importantly, the whole valley, the smoke was suffocating. It's even hard to tell the way.

"...... On fire? ”

The Ming soldiers outside the valley could already see the fire in the valley through the five-meter-wide valley mouth, and even felt the heat wave coming out of the valley mouth.

General Wang suddenly struck a fierce spirit, and hurriedly shouted: "Archers prepare, the time has come to avenge the dead brothers by letting a thief slip through the net." ”

Every soldier bent his bow and arrow, and his face showed a hideous hatred. Their brothers and friends had remained in the old forest forever, and this hatred had been suppressed in their hearts for too long.

Screams kept coming from the valley, and black shadows ran out of the mouth of the valley in embarrassment, with no weapons in their hands and no rules, completely desperate.

"Put!" General Wang let out a loud shout.

"Whoosh......"

Ten thousand arrows shot towards the mouth of the valley, which was less than five meters wide, like a wall made of arrows, blocking the mouth of the valley.

"Ah......h

Countless screams rang out, and those thieves were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but there were still thieves who continued to rush out of the mouth of the valley, and then were killed by arrows and fell to the ground.

This went on for about three quarters of an hour, and no one ran out of the valley again, and the fire in the valley was still burning, and the heat was pouring out from the mouth of the valley, mixed with the smell of barbecue.

"Let's go back!"

Luo Xin said lightly, turned around and walked towards the Chinese army. He Xinyin, Yun Zhiqiu, Tao Xingyan and the generals silently followed behind Luo Xin. Although they didn't know why there was a sudden fire in the valley, they knew that it must have something to do with Luo Xin.

Returning to the Chinese army, Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Let's all go and rest, we still have to march in the morning." ”

"Yes!"

The generals dispersed one after another, He Xinyin, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan did not leave. He Xinyin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, since Luo Xin told him that he was going to slaughter the Eighteen Villages, he knew that he would see this scene, but the way the thief died was different. Shaking his head, he turned to leave.

Yun Zhiqiu's face was a little pale, but it was obvious that when he was young, he used his sword to go to the end of the world, and his heart was much harder than that of ordinary people, and he didn't say anything in the end. But Tao Xingyan was different, he didn't have the energy of He Xinyin and Yun Zhiqiu, so he said:

"No, this ...... Isn't it...... Some are too cruel? ”
