"Wow…"
Looking at the majestic pass standing between the two mountains in front of them, Jia Fu and Sun Lingming both exclaimed in surprise.
"This Lulong Pass can be renamed Lulong Pass. In my opinion, the defense of this pass is not inferior to the two passes of Hangu Hulao." Jia Fu said seriously.
"Although I have never seen Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass, I have seen Hu Pass. The danger of Lulong Pass is even worse than Hu Pass." Sun Lingming said.
After hearing the words of the two men, Gongsun Xuanyuan looked up at Lulongsai and said with a wry smile: "Although Lulongsai is dangerous, it is far from comparable to Hulao Hangu. Even compared to Huguan, it is still the same." There is a certain gap.
But after the reconstruction by the general, Lulongsai now has a defense that is comparable to Hangu and surpasses Huguan. "
Hearing Xuanyuan's words, everyone present fell silent. What else could they say? Is it true that Xuanyuan is not good at dealing with foreigners, but is best at tricking his own people?
“Today’s Luronsai, a forceful attack is not advisable, it must be done wisely.”
At this point, a trace of determination flashed in Xuanyuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Send the order and the whole army will hide. I will personally lead people to climb the mountain tonight and burn the Crescent Tower."
)
Because he was afraid of being discovered by the defenders inside the pass and alerting the enemy, Xuanyuan did not let his army approach Lulongsai, but stayed in a valley five miles outside the pass.
The sun rose and the moon set, and soon it was night, and Xuanyuan personally led a hundred elite crossbowmen, each carrying disassembled Houba Niu crossbow parts, and took advantage of the night to sneak towards the unknown peak outside Lulong Fortress.
The reason why Xuanyuan disassembled the Eight-Niu Crossbow into parts was because the assembled Eight-Niu Crossbow required four people to carry it, and one hundred people could only move twenty-five.
But if it is broken down into parts and then assembled on the mountain, two people can carry all the parts of an eight-niu crossbow, and a hundred people can carry fifty eight-niu crossbows, which directly reduces the total number of portable crossbows. Double.
In addition, the terrain of the unnamed peak is steep, and it is quite difficult for the soldiers to climb the mountain. It is impossible to climb the assembled Eight Ox Crossbow, and they can only disassemble it into parts to successfully bring it up the mountain.
After arriving at the foot of the unnamed mountain peak, Xuanyuan looked at the pitch-black mountain peak in front of him, then at the soldiers behind him whose faces could not be seen clearly, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly distribute the lighting bags."
)
In order to prevent being discovered by patrolling enemy troops, mountaineering soldiers are not allowed to hold torches.
Given how difficult it is to climb the unknown mountain, climbing it in the dark is tantamount to courting death, but making a fire can easily be discovered by the Qing army.
This has also become another big problem in outsmarting Lulongsai, but this problem was solved by Qin Hao before the troops were divided.
Qin Hao told Xuanyuan that although he could not light a fire while climbing, he could catch more fireflies, put them in a cloth bag, and use the light of fireflies instead of firelight for lighting.
Qin Hao's plan shocked Xuanyuan. This trick was absolutely amazing. The light of fireflies was different from the color of firelight. Not to mention whether it was easy to be discovered, even if it was discovered, they would think it was a firefly.
Louronse is located in the wilderness, so there is no shortage of fireflies.
So, after dark, Xuanyuan immediately asked a thousand soldiers to catch fireflies everywhere and made more than 300 lighting bags.
As soon as Xuanyuan finished speaking, three soldiers carrying **** bags came out.
The bag was very large, but the three people did it without any effort, as if there was nothing in the bag. However, the bag was obviously very large.
The three soldiers put down the bag and opened it. They saw that the black cloth bag was emitting yellow-green fluorescence. It was a lighting bag made of fireflies.
“Hurry, distribute it, three bags per person.”
At Xuanyuan's urging, more than 300 bags of Firefly brand lighting bags were quickly distributed, and then Xuanyuan took the lead in climbing. At the same time, above Lulongsai, Qing soldiers were patrolling back and forth.
Although the area where Zhou Yu landed was in the central and eastern part of western Liaoning, the defenders in various places in the west were also in a panic. In order to prevent the Qin army from raiding, they took strict precautions, and the number of patrols was three times as usual.
“Brother, it’s changing of the guard.”
“Okay...huh? Why is that area so bright? What is that?”
After hearing this, the soldiers changing the guard suddenly became nervous, but after taking a closer look, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hey, what do I think, haven’t I seen any fireflies?”
“But are fireflies so bright?”
“It’s rare to find many strange things. When fireflies gather together, it’s almost as bright as this.”
“That’s it…”
Comparing to the brightness of the torch, the Firefly brand lighting bag was much darker, but it was still unnecessarily noticed by the Qing army sentry, but they did not pay attention to it and just regarded it as the light emitted by the gathering of a large number of fireflies.
On Xuanyuan's side, after an hour-long climb, Xuanyuan finally led his soldiers to the top of the mountain.
The nameless mountain peak is too difficult to climb. Even if Xuanyuan leads the way and all the soldiers who climb are elite, it is inevitable that some people will fall due to stepping on the air. But even so, the soldiers will still grit their teeth and continue climbing.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Xuanyuan counted the number of people and found that there were eighty-eight people left, which meant that twelve people had fallen on the way. These were all the most elite crossbow archers.
This also reduced the number of Qin's Eight Ox Crossbows to forty-four.
“Quickly, quickly assemble the bed crossbow.” Xuanyuan shouted.
It is now Yin hour. In two hours, it will be dawn, and the fire attack plan must be completed before dawn.
The soldiers led by Xuanyuan are all the most elite crossbowmen. They have long been proficient in disassembling and assembling bed crossbows. It only took less than half an hour to assemble all the Eight Bull Crossbows.
Due to the loss of twelve men, the total number of crossbows in the Qin army dropped from fifty to forty-four.
After the forty-four bed crossbows were assembled, the already narrow top of the mountain instantly became extremely crowded, and some soldiers were even squeezed and almost fell off the cliff.
"Everyone, be careful. Those who can come back alive will be promoted to one level. It would be a big loss if they fell to their death at this time."
The soldiers were very nervous originally. After all, the top of the mountain was too crowded, and people on the edge might fall down the mountain if they were not careful.
But after hearing Xuanyuan's words, the soldiers relaxed instead, and they all thought that they must go back alive so that they could gain promotions.
After seeing this scene, Xuanyuan nodded secretly in his heart, and then asked the soldiers to aim the crossbows at the Crescent Tower and adjust the angle of the upward shooting.
Seeing that Xuanyuan did not give the order to light the fire for a long time, he accompanied the captain of the crossbow army and asked: "General, when are you going to release the arrow?"
Xuanyuan raised his head and felt the wind speed on the top of the mountain, and said calmly: "Wait a little longer, wait until the wind gets stronger."
