Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "Deng Ai's trick is nothing, it's just throwing stones to ask for directions." Now that the two sides are heavily guarded, it is difficult to communicate with each other, and Deng Ai cannot secretly steal the military information of Jingjun Mountain, so he can only take the clear way and send envoys to come under the guise of persuading him to surrender, but in fact he is spying on intelligence. ”

Zhang Le said puzzled again: "Since you know Deng Ai's intentions, eldest brother, why do you still let those envoys go up the mountain, why don't you kill them all, so that Deng Aike doesn't know the situation in Jingjun Mountain." ”

Liu Yin said leisurely: "If you don't reveal some news to Deng Ai, how can Deng Ai come to attack Jingjun Mountain with all his heart." In the last battle, he had to use the Yuanrong crossbow, which undoubtedly made Deng Ai suspect that there was the main force of the Han army stationed on the mountain or even a general, if he launched a tentative attack again and failed, Deng Ai is likely to give up the road to Jiangyou, and take other roads, after all, Jingjun Mountain can only block Deng Ai from going to Jiangyou, if Deng Ai changes to attack Sword Pavilion or elsewhere, it will be meaningless for us to guard in Jingjun Mountain, a hundred miles away, Deng Ai can still detour. ”

"It turns out that the eldest brother deliberately let Deng Ai know about the situation on the top of the mountain, show the enemy weakness, and make Deng Ai determined to take this road, so that we can drag him to the foot of Jingjun Mountain."

"Yes, if my expectations are not bad, now Deng Ai must be short of food and grass, taking a dangerous path can certainly play a role in a surprise attack, but the interests and disadvantages are the same, if they are trapped in the canyon and cannot move forward, they are a dead end, so Deng Ai is now most urgent is to open up the Yinping Trail, only by entering the plain to get food and grass is his only chance to escape, so Deng Ai will definitely attack Jingjun Mountain at all costs. Show the enemy weak. is to give Deng Ai an illusion. It was easy to break through Jingjun Mountain. And he didn't have to go any other way. ”

Zhang Le patted his head and said suddenly: "No wonder the eldest brother has been unwilling to use firearms before, it turned out that he was keeping it to prepare to clean up Deng Ai." ”

Liu Yin said with a smile: "My hole cards, how can I easily leak them to him, Deng Ai thinks he has a plan, and he knows the truth of Jingjun Mountain, how can he know that I have a bigger 'surprise' for him to keep." Fight. is not only fighting power, but more importantly, fighting wits, especially these famous veterans, if they don't use their brains, they really can't deal with it. ”

Zhang Le smiled and said: "Big brother is clever, I see that except for Zhuge Wuhou, there is no opponent in this world."

Liu Yin chuckled, compared with the wise and almost demonic Zhuge Liang, he was more than a star and a half behind. "Command all the teams, day and night. Hold your ground, and the Wei army will attack at any time. ”

There is almost no deviation from Liu Yin's prediction. The Wei army suddenly launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night, without drums or shouts, and a team of thousands of people, dressed in black clothes and black armor, quietly approached the top of the mountain under the cover of night.

At this moment, on the top of the mountain is Zhao Zhuo's third group of family soldiers. After a full day's rest during the day, the soldiers were in good spirits, without any tiredness, holding their bows and crossbows tightly, and closely watching the movement on the mountain road through the gap in the stone wall.

The first to discover the traces of the Wei soldiers was the observation post at a high place, the observation post was located in a higher position, the situation in front of them was unobstructed, and the sentry chose people with excellent eyesight, although the Wei army tiptoed silently, but they entered the place four or five hundred steps away from the top of the mountain, and were still discovered by the sharp-eyed sentry.

"All of them, listen to me, and get ready to fight!" Zhao Zhuo gave the order in a low voice, staring ahead, waiting for those Wei soldiers to enter the range of bows and arrows.

These Wei soldiers were deliberately selected by Deng Ai as a night attack team, with strong night fighting ability and quick movements, if the enemy was unprepared, they could easily attack the target. Of course, Deng Ai could not expect to easily take Jingjun Mountain through a sneak attack, he still has a deep understanding of this Liu Yin, and he can lead hundreds of people to defeat the Xiandeng camp with 3,000 people twice, just this kind of ability, which is enough for Deng Ai to be impressed.

Although it can't prove how high Liu Yin's command ability is, since he dares to make a move, it shows that this person is bold and careful, and is good at taking advantage of all opportunities. And those who dare to raid are often the most rigorous in defense, and Deng Ai has long expected that this battle will not be easy.

However, Deng Ai still has enough self-confidence, he has dozens of times more troops than his opponent, there is no reason why he can't take a small Jingjun Mountain, no matter how dangerous the mountain road is, no matter how strong the defense is, relying on the tactics of the sea of people is enough to drag them down.

The Wei soldiers were agile and climbed on the steep mountain road, for them, the road of Jingjun Mountain was simply a smooth road compared to the Sky Ridge, and they could vaguely see the black shadow-like stone wall in front of them, as long as they climbed over the stone wall, they could rush to the top of the mountain. And the silent mountain top didn't seem to hear any sound, these Wei soldiers secretly rejoiced, accelerated the speed of their march, and rushed towards the top of the mountain desperately.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Zhuo gave an order, shouts rang out from behind the stone wall, and cold arrows whizzed over, and the Wei soldiers who rushed to the front unfortunately fell down on the mountain road. Countless torches were thrown from behind the stone wall and thrown onto the mountain road, which also illuminated the mountain road.

Acting in the dark, the night is the best cover, Zhao Zhuo threw a large number of torches outward, just to expose the target of the Wei soldiers and provide a target for his own people to shoot.

Zhao Zhuo not only used the Yuan Rong crossbow, but also used gunpowder arrows, although the lethal power of gunpowder arrows was limited, but after the gunpowder arrows exploded, they could tear all the Wei troops in the entire area out of the darkness, providing accurate targets for the Yuanrong crossbow and other bows and crossbows.

Suddenly, rows of gunpowder arrows pulled strings of sparks, like a meteor storm in the dark night, brilliant and beautiful, and the huge sound and dazzling fire after the explosion were just like a brilliant fireworks show.

But it is bitter for those Wei soldiers who have never seen what gunpowder is, although those explosions are rarely fatal, but blowing off a finger, blowing up an eye, blowing off an ear, is a common thing, and what is more terrible is that the panic caused by these explosions to them is huge, the firelight exposes their position, the effect of the night attack is no longer there, and the Shu soldiers hide in the dark, but they can effectively hit them, in the face of the rain of arrows, it is difficult for the Wei soldiers to take a step forward.

It was doomed to be a failed night raid. (To be continued......)
