Shu Blossoms

Chapter 525 Burning Lion Mountain

The setting sun is like blood, the mountain wind is howling, and sometimes it is accompanied by a shocking scream and fighting.

Zheng Wei asked for a light bow, took an arrow and pulled the bow, aimed at the person who was crawling in front of him below, released his hand lightly, and the arrow flew out. The person screamed miserably and fell to the bottom of the valley.

Zheng Wei didn't have the slightest smug look on his face, and looked at Hao Zeyun and Wang Xu suspiciously, "Strange! Although the enemy is coming fiercely, the stamina is not enough."

Hao Zesong shook his head, "It's not surprising, although the Lion Mountain is less than [-] meters, it is too steep and the rock wall is smooth. The only way up the mountain is firmly grasped by us, but they lost more than [-] people in half an hour, and no one is willing to give up. Let your own people die!"

"What Hao Junshi said is reasonable." Wang Xu agreed.

"County Lord, why didn't you walk when you came? That way, what happened before will not happen. I heard that you and Wang Langjun climbed the cliff and were almost scared to death!"

Zheng Wei looked at Wang Xu embarrassedly, "Isn't this close? It's just that you have so many checkpoints on the main road, and being questioned along the way is too much time-consuming!"

"But." Hao Zeyun wanted to say something, but Wang Xu stopped him and explained to Zheng Wei with a smile, "We have been touching all the way, and we are not familiar with Meiling. The county master is already very powerful, relying on Dongyuan The village people’s stories have drawn a map. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to find the Lion Rock anywhere. But it wasn’t detailed enough, so we went astray and went to the west.”

Hao Zeyun suddenly saw that Zheng Wei's face was slightly red, and it seemed that he was a little embarrassed because of the fork in the road, so he quickly changed his words, "So it is, the county master and Wang Langjun really stretched out their hands, I looked at the cliff. All dizzy!"

"They're starting to withdraw!" Zheng Wei suddenly looked down and saw the people below slowly starting to withdraw. She suddenly remembered something and asked Hao Zeyun, "Have you heard any news from the people you sent out just now?"

Wang Xu's face was not heavy. He clasped his fists in both hands and solemnly entrusted him, "I have to go there in person, and I have to trouble the county master and Wang Langjun to help guard here."

"No way!" Zheng Wei stopped without thinking, "Wang Xu and I are not familiar with your soldiers, let alone this Lion Rock, so we can't do it like a finger, and the overall situation of this Lion Rock is up to you. Come and grasp it! You give me a team, remember to find someone who is familiar with the road, and I will go!"

"No, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your brother?" Hao Zeyun disagreed.

Zheng Wei asked back, "If these thousands of soldiers are not saved, how can we think of Brother A and His Majesty's explanation? Besides, in terms of skills, you are not as good as me, but I am more suitable to be a special soldier!"

"Don't argue, Master Hao, don't worry, I will follow the county master at any time, and I will not let the county master make mistakes."

Wang Xu also assured that, Hao Zeyun could no longer refute, so he personally selected a team to protect Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei saw that there were acquaintances inside, and ran over with a smile, "Second Brother Zhang, Second Brother Hao actually sent you here!"

Zhang Er was actually the fourth oldest among their five brothers, but Zheng Wei was used to calling his name, and everyone was used to her, so he accepted this nondescript title.

"I went there once, and if it wasn't for Zhang Da, I couldn't get away, the second brother would like to arrest the elder brother to protect you!"

Zhang Er was also very happy to see Zheng Wei again, looking at her with doting eyes.

His mother didn't give birth to a sister with them, and treats the three brothers' sisters as relatives and loves them.

"It's not like you don't know my skills, no one can get close to me easily!" Zheng Wei patted his chest confidently.

"This is the battlefield. The dead are just a blink of an eye, which is different from Taixue. After all, you haven't really been on the battlefield!" Zhang Er couldn't help but talk about her when he was on his way.

Zheng Wei said in surprise: "Second brother Zhang, I remember that you are the least fond of words. Why did you talk a lot this time?"

Zhang Er touched his nose embarrassedly, Zheng smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me, although I have never fought on the battlefield with real knives and real guns, but I have been unlucky enough in recent years, even if I build health again, it will be a lot. We fought with people for the first time. When we were in the Great Wei Dynasty a few years ago, we had a surprise attack on their camp, have you forgotten?"

Zhang Er heard what she said, and suddenly remembered the terrifying thing that burned the food and grass of the Dawei rebels back then, looked at Zheng Wei with burning eyes and asked, "County Master, here you come and get something that can blow up the food and grass tents and others. The thing that went to the sky?"

"Some things are prepared, but most of them are left at the guard of honor, and they can't be used here!" Zheng Wei shook his head.

"Why, with that thing, let alone defend the Lion Mountain, we will be able to capture Zhao Cen tonight!"

Zhang Er made an oath.

Zheng Wei had a serious expression on his face, "It's late autumn now, and the weather here is dry and dry. If that thing is ignited, it will definitely set the mountain on fire and cause a fire. How will the soldiers on the mountain be?"

She stopped suddenly, looked around, and asked anxiously, "What is the wind direction today?"

Zhang Er stretched out his hand and felt: "Southwest wind, what's wrong?"

"The place we're going to is also in the southwest!" Zheng Wei pondered, Zhang Er nodded, and Wang Xu didn't know why.

"If Zhao Cen is attacked by fire," Zheng Wei suddenly didn't dare to speak, Zhang Er reacted and started to run fast.

Zheng Wei and Wang Xu followed anxiously.

At this time, the sky was slowly darkening, but they saw the star-beating firelight in the direction they were running towards. Zheng Wei's heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley, "Damn it!"

She really made her guess right!

When they arrived, the wind and the fire were rolling in and out.

The terrain here is relatively gentle, but the vegetation is prosperous, so they can feel the heat wave before they approach.

Zheng Wei and Wang Xu grabbed Zhang Er, who was still rushing forward, and shouted, "Quickly send someone back to report, and let Hao Zeyun and the others lead the army to break through!"

"Yes, you and Wang Langjun go back to report and follow the army to break through!" Zhang Er nodded again and again and immediately said.

"No, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, it can't be stopped at all, you have to go with us!"

Zheng Wei roared.

"Those brothers must still be alive, I have to bring them out!" Zhang Er firmly said.

Zheng Wei turned to look at Wang Xu, Wang Xu directly reached out to stop what she wanted to say and said, "I am a warrior of Da Zhou, no matter what, I will never leave you behind!"

Zheng Wei had no choice but to arrest a soldier and order him to go back to deliver the letter. Just after the arrangement was completed, he saw that Zhang Er had left behind someone to protect Zheng Wei, and he had already rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire with the two of them. .

She could only calm down and discuss with Wang Xu, "Is there any way to stop the fire when it spreads completely?"

"It's too difficult! Zhao Cen's move is despicable, but it is very effective. He set fire to the mountain to force the army to retreat, he only needs to set up an ambush on the way to retreat. We are a disintegrating army. If we are in ambush, we must flee in panic, and when we fall, we will be completely defeated!"

"Insidious!" Zheng Wei spat fiercely, with deeper worries in his heart: "This is the first time that Jiujiang has blatantly attacked the Dazhou army. Unlike that letter, this is more like a declaration of war. Does it mean that they have Ready to go to war against the imperial court! What the hell is Han Shiying thinking?"

Zheng Wei quickly regained his senses. The top priority now is to break through the encirclement. If there is a chance, he must capture Zhao Cen!
