Chapter 746: Ambush Everywhere

Hearing this, everyone in the big tent couldn't help but light up their eyes.

"Do you know this path, old man?" Cao Cao asked urgently.

Old Orion sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and couldn't help but nod a little uneasily.

"Old man, if you are willing to lead the way, no matter whether it is successful in the end or not, I can give you a nine-rank official position!" Cao Cao said.

All the Orions couldn't help but be stunned, the old Orion swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Many, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The old hunter suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "It's just, it's just that this path is very steep!" I'm just afraid."

Cao Cao laughed, "Don't worry! The soldiers under my command are all battle-hardened elites who can cope with any situation! ”

The old hunter couldn't help but glance at the generals in the big tent, swallowed his saliva, and nodded hurriedly.

Although Orion brought Cao Cao a shortcut to victory, this shortcut is still very risky, and who can guarantee that Zhuge Liang, who has been entrenched in this area for more than a year, does not know the shortcut provided by Orion.

Early the next morning, the Wei army camp under the Shenting Ridge began to be busy, and soon after, Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu to call for 30,000 foot soldiers at the bottom of the ridge, but Liu Jun on the ridge was not moved at all.

A scout hurried to Chen Chu's side and reported: "Your Majesty, General Shen has sent a message that there is indeed a path that can pass through Shenting Ridge, and they are now advancing, if everything goes well, they will be able to appear behind Shenting Ridge in about an hour." ”

"Good! You go back and tell General Shen that you must not be careless, you must be careful," Cao Cao admonished.

The scout agreed. Ride away.

Cao Cao returned his attention to the Shenting Ridge in front of him and sneered: "It seems that Liu Jun has made up his mind to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”

Just when the Wei army confronted Liu Jun on the Shenting Ridge. A group of 5,000 Wei soldiers were struggling through the thorn bushes, and the ones leading the way were the hunters who had been brought to the Wei army's tent yesterday. Looking at their agile appearance, I think that they usually walk through the mountains and climb over them.

After walking for about half an hour, the elites of the five thousand Fourth Legions were also slightly panting, and a young Orion who was leading the way in front whispered to the older Orion: "I can't imagine that the mountain they have climbed for so long is just a little panting!" ”

The old hunter glanced back, nodded, and said, "Each of them is still wearing armor and carrying weapons!" ”

Another person said with emotion: "No wonder so many powerful characters fell under the iron hooves of the Wei army one after another, even the fierce Huns and Xianbei people are no exception!" ”

The companions couldn't help but nod their heads together.

"Uncle, when this matter is over, you will be the ninth rank official of Great Wei!" A young Orion said with envy on his face.

The old hunter smiled excitedly and said to a few people: "Aren't you all going to be crowned officials?" ”

Several young men laughed. One of them said excitedly: "When Lao Tzu returns to his hometown, I will definitely teach those who look down on me a lesson, and then marry Cuihua!" ”

The others laughed and cursed.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the five thousand Wei troops came to a very precipitous place and stopped, with an abyss on the left and a steep cliff on the right, and only a path about a foot wide hung on the cliff, and the road made people feel panicked when they looked at it.

"Is this the only way?" General Shen asked with a frown.

The old hunter hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the general, there is only this one way to pass!" ”

General Shen nodded. He said to a few hunters: "Find someone to lead the way!" ”

The old hunter immediately called out a young man named Monkey.

General Shen said to a lieutenant beside him: "You and your people go over first and build a defense on the opposite side!" ”

The captain agreed, and immediately led a thousand people under the eagle to the heavenly road under the guidance of the hunter called the monkey, and all the soldiers watching behind couldn't help but sweat for them.

The procession marched slowly. But it was going well, and suddenly, there was a bang. Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, and then they heard a scream. Following the prestige, I saw the two soldiers in the back falling rapidly towards the abyss.

"Don't look down! Watch your step! The monkey exclaimed.

The team moved on. I'm more cautious than I was before.

After about a quarter of an hour, the thousand men finally reached the opposite side, where there was a small platform, and on three sides there was a high cliff, and on the east side there was a crack in the cliff, and this crack was the only way out.

The lieutenant glanced at the surrounding terrain and couldn't help muttering, "If there are enemy troops in ambush here, we are afraid that we will be wiped out!" ”

"Captain, did you inform the general?" An officer asked.

The captain said: "Don't be busy first, send two teams of people to climb the cliffs on both sides." ”

The lieutenant pointed to the cliffs on either side of the sky.

"General, there is no way to go up here, only after a line of sky, go around to the back, can you go up!" Monkey Cha reports.

The officer looked at the captain, waiting for his instructions, and the captain said to the monkey, "What is the situation on these two sides?" ”

The monkey replied, "There are strange rocks everywhere, and the ground is the size of a room!" ”

The lieutenant muttered, "In this way, there should be no ambush soldiers above." ”

Turning to the officer who was still waiting for the order, he ordered: "Signal to the general: let the brothers be on alert!" ”

"No!"

"General, signal." An officer pointed to General Shen and said.

General Shen glanced around, hesitated slightly, and ordered: "After the fifth team, the others will go with the general!" ”

"No!"

General Shen and 3,000 soldiers also embarked on that erratic heavenly road, and General Shen's heart gradually let go, everything went smoothly, and there was no sudden situation.

Suddenly, countless people appeared on the mountain on the other side of the Heavenly Road, and there was a flag, and the red flag was embroidered with a large Chinese character.

"Not good! There is an ambush! ”

Before General Shen's voice fell, a rain of arrows roared, and then the sound of chewing and crackling sounded one after another, and the soldiers of the Wei army, who had nowhere to hide on the mountain road, were shot off the cliff by arrows one after another.

"Don't move! Fight back with a bow and crossbow! General Shen shouted.

The soldiers leaned against the cliff, half-crouched, and took off the crossbow winding, but this very simple and skillful action was very difficult here, it was too narrow here, and the crossbow was wound by foot, and some soldiers accidentally slipped down the mountain road.

The soldiers on the mountain road returned fire with crossbow arrows, although the efficiency was very low, but it also played a little effect, and at the same time, the Wei troops on both sides desperately fired arrows into the opposite mountain, and for a time suppressed the long-range fire of the Han army.

General Shen took advantage of the enemy's long-range firepower being suppressed and ordered the soldiers on the mountain road to retreat slowly, but at this time, the figure of the bed crossbow appeared on the opposite side. (To be continued.) )
