National color raw owl

It was noon, and General Qiu walked steadily. He had already come out of the cave and was standing at the forefront of Rising Sun Peak.

In front of Xuri Village is a deep cliff, bottomless. Connecting the two sides is a suspension bridge. At this time, the suspension bridge has been pulled up. On the left and right sides of the suspension bridge, there are two archery towers made of stone.

The archery tower is very high, standing on it, condescending, you can see a very far place outside.

At this time, in some conspicuous places in the Rising Sun Village, there were flags fluttering, the wind blowing the flags, and the sound of hunting. It looked as if it was facing a big enemy, and it also showed that it was ready to deal with it.

General Qiu was standing at the highest point of the archery tower. Although he could see the ranks of officers and soldiers ten miles away, he was extremely conspicuous enough for people to see his whereabouts on the tower.

The officers and soldiers were like ants, densely packed, facing the Rising Sun Village. At this time, the officers and soldiers had stopped and did not continue to come towards the village.

General Qiu looked at the densely packed crowd with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He had even seen clearly that although the officers and soldiers remained in place, there were a few figures secretly approaching the stockade under some cover. He understood that they were spies of the officers and soldiers and wanted to take a closer look at the stockade edge situation.

General Qiu stood gracefully on the archery tower, deliberately letting the spies see his whereabouts clearly.

Chu Huan wanted to take down the Gourd Village by combining inside and outside. Knowing Chu Huan’s tricks, General Qiu was able to use his tricks. He was standing at the Rising Sun Peak archery tower, and the Rising Sun Peak was covered with banners. This is why he set up a maze to make the officers and soldiers think that the stockade Already fully armed the Rising Sun Peak.

Chu Huan's conspiracy was to make Zhaizi think that the main target of the officers and soldiers was the Rising Sun Peak, so that he would attack the west and defeat the Rising Sun Peak. The archery tower made the officers and soldiers mistakenly think that the village had placed its defensive center on the Rising Sun Peak. In this way, the officers and soldiers could attack the Sunset Peak with peace of mind.

General Qiu felt that he was special and his appearance was conspicuous. The officers, soldiers and spies would definitely be able to see him. If they saw that the leader of the village, General Qiu, was still at Rising Sun Peak, they would definitely think that the main force of Gourd Village had already been deployed at Rising Sun Peak.

On the Sunset Peak side, Fu Gang had already erected a flag in a conspicuous position according to General Qiu's order.

This was the secret signal agreed between Chu Huan and Fu Gang. Once the flag was erected, it meant that Fu Gang was able to lead people to patrol at night and had a chance to open the stone gate.

If there is no accident, the officers and soldiers will pretend to attack the Sunset Village tonight, but the main force will secretly arrive at the foot of the Sunset Peak, hoping that with Fu Gang's cooperation, they will enter the Sunset Village.

Thinking of the battle tonight, the blood in General Qiu's body started to flow quickly.

Sunset Village had already set up a net, and he mobilized most of the troops in the village to ambush in every dangerous place in the Sunset Village. Once the officers and soldiers rushed into the Shimen and entered the Sunset Village, they would never come back.

Under the Lie Lie Zhan Banner, Chu Huan sat on a chair, looking at the Rising Sun Peak.

This was the first time he had seen the Rising Sun Peak, but before seeing the Rising Sun Peak, he already had a general understanding of the Calabash Mountain Range.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Hulu Mountain stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and Chu Huan already knows the outline and environment of the surrounding area, but Chu Huan still can't fully understand the specific situation of the six villages in the mountain.

But he already knew the location of Liuzhai clearly.

When Fu Gang drew the topographic map to save his life, he was very careful, especially the road mechanism between Sunset Peak and Rising Sun Peak, which was very detailed.

According to Fu Gang's estimate, the strength of the Calabash Village is at least 5000 people. It is guarded by the mountains, and [-] troops is not a small number.

Chu Huan dispatched troops this time, mobilizing [-] elite soldiers, and the four Fenglinhuo Battalions trained by Pei Ji are still in battle this time.

The training of the Governor’s Imperial Guard went very smoothly. The leaders of the four major battalions were appointed by Chu Huan himself, especially the cavalry of the Fengzi Battalion, which was expanded on top of the original Tiger Wing Cavalry. Although the number of horses was still far from enough, However, the soldiers who were incorporated into the Fengzi Battalion had to learn horse riding and fighting under the limited conditions of horse training.

In comparison, Langwazi's Linziying archers training achieved the most remarkable results.

There are many Orion in the Northwest, and the expansion of Lin Ziying starts with the Orion. The hunters have their own archery skills, and some are even better than the original archers. The players with excellent shooting skills were promoted by Pei Ji as much as possible.

This is the second time Chu Huan has led his troops to the expedition.

In the previous expedition to attack Jinhe Erzhou, the soldiers in the long-separated battle formation were not absolutely sure, but under the command of Chu Huan, they won both battles and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

This time when they attacked Calabash Village, the morale of the officers and soldiers was even higher.

The army was in full swing, and the whole army was waiting ten miles away from the Xuri Village, the main village of Calabash Mountain. No one knew when Chu Huan would order an attack, but those soldiers who had participated in the siege of Calabash Mountain were a little worried.

Dongfangxin once sent troops to attack Calabash Mountain twice for personal purposes.

At that time, the strength of Calabash Mountain was not even as good as it is now, and Dongfangxin sent out troops twice, with a lot of troops, but in the end they were all defeated.

Many soldiers who participated in the two battles clearly remembered that the first time the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress the Calabash Village, the situation was almost exactly the same as it is now.

Dongfangxin led the army to the foot of the Huluzhai mountain and made some repairs, and the goal was the main village, Xurizhai.

Before the battle, the officers and soldiers already knew that the forefront of the Xuri Village was an extremely wide cliff, which was a natural moat. If the suspension bridge could not be lowered, it would be difficult to break into the village.

Fortunately, the living will not be suffocated to death by urine.

After all, many of the army are battle-tested generals, so it is natural to think of a way to attack the cottage.

Naturally, the bandit's suspension bridge could not be put down, so the officers and soldiers figured out a way to create a road by themselves.

They used locomotives to shoot out the iron chains with sharp iron drills at the front end, and the iron drills shot into the rock on the opposite side, and then they could be connected into an iron chain on both sides.

It's just that the manufacture of locomotives is extremely complicated, and the iron chains that are too heavy cannot be shot at the opposite side, so only the not too thick iron chains can be shot and embedded in the opposite rock. After more than a dozen iron chains are shot in, they form a More than a dozen dangerous roads suspended in the air.

From then on, the soldiers could only use such steep iron chains to attack by force.

The bandits had a heavy army on the opposite side, and the arrows were like rain. Many soldiers were shot by the arrows as soon as they climbed the iron chain, and fell into the abyss. Unable to kill the other side at all, the bandits used long spears to stab out randomly, and the soldiers were tied into hedgehogs alive and fell into the cliff.

At that station, the officers and soldiers were completely at a disadvantage, with countless casualties, and finally had to withdraw their troops.

The second time Dongfangxin dispatched troops, instead of attacking Rising Sun Peak, it turned to Qixia Peak, which was slightly weaker in defense. If you go up the mountain in a basket, you have to face a high and steep cliff and climb up. Such a cliff requires only bandits to guard it, so it is difficult to attack, and as long as there are few mistakes, you will fall off the cliff.

In the end, Dongfangxin dispatched troops twice, both of which lost troops and lost generals, and returned without success.

Soldiers who had gone through those two battles were on an expedition at this time, and when they saw the large suspension bridge in the Rising Sun Village, they were still terrified, and the tragic scene at the beginning came to mind again.

This time, Chu Huan also brought the kind of locomotives stored by the Ministry of War. Undoubtedly, Chu Huan could not think of a better way to attack the Rising Sun Village. Create chain roads.

Chu Huan looked calm and relaxed, looking at the suspension bridge in the distance.

He is well aware that the existence of Gourd Village is a great threat to Xiguan. Gourd Village has become a banner of Xiguan rogues, and many mobs flock to Gourd Mountain under the attack of the government.

Although there are only 5000 people in Hulu Mountain, Chu Huan does not regard these [-] people as ordinary rogues.

Before Chu Huan went to Xiguan, the chaotic situation in Xiguan after the war had indeed caused wave after wave of rogues, and these rogues had indeed once posed a huge threat to Xiguan.

It was also because of Chu Huan's response to the current situation that he issued the Land Equalization Order, which made many rogues become good citizens again.

Chu Huan knew very well that the reason most of the rogues looted everywhere was because they lacked clothing and food, and were forced by the situation. They hoped to be ordinary people who lived and worked in peace and contentment.

After the implementation of the Land Equalization Order, the rogues who stand alone in chaos are indeed restless desperadoes.

After the promulgation of the Land Equalization Order, some rogue bandits still preferred to be bandits rather than farming. Many of them defected to Calabash Village and formed a quite powerful bandit gang.

Most of these people were desperadoes. It would be fine if they were just desperadoes, but Chu Huan had always suspected that General Qiu came from the vanguard camp of the Northwest Army. Such a character must have a certain military quality.

General Qiu used his military literacy to lead this gang of desperadoes, so these thousands of bandits could not be simply regarded as mobs.

Chu Huan knew that the sooner the Gourd Village must be eradicated, the better. Zhu Lingyue was staring at Xiguan, and Chu Huan knew that someday there might be a serious conflict between the two. If he let the cancer of Huluzhai take root in his body, sooner or later it would lead to catastrophe.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, and the entire Calabash Mountain was bathed in the setting sun. The whole mountain range looked very quiet and the scenery was beautiful. The soldiers on both sides knew that this was the last peace before the war. , will be filled with a pungent bloody smell.
