The wind blew away the fog, the sun rose high in the west, and there was no trace of the morning glow.

Liwu looked into the distance at the east where the golden crow was shining, and finally smiled.

"Great! It looks like it will be sunny all day long!"

The wind is blowing gently from the northeast, and the clouds and fog are dispersing.

Liwu stretched himself and immediately began to arrange for people to go down the mountain: "First, before the people harassing the south can dry the firewood full of morning dew, it will be better for them not to attack directly.

Second, eat and then prepare to launch a feint attack in the north to attract the enemy's attention.

Third, we started digging a buffer zone to prevent a sudden change in wind direction that could blow sparks up and ignite the entire mountaintop.”

Everyone took the order and took action immediately, working enthusiastically.

The noise was so loud that even Zihe in Liyang City heard it and even thought it was noisy.

However, after someone investigated the situation on the mountain, someone came to report that they had started their daily training, so there was nothing more to say.

Ever since the custom of military exercises in the autumn in Yan State spread to the south, the soldiers of many clans would undergo a period of training before going to war.

Of course, sometimes the training is done during autumn hunting.

In the era of cold weapons, hunting has always been considered a part of military exercises.

It is equivalent to a combination of military training and military parade.

Of course, due to Xin Qu's influence, a complete training manual will be added to the autumn hunting process.

In Zihe's opinion, the busy activities on the mountain were probably the same as those in Yan State.

However, Zihe just sneered after hearing this: "They only know how to drill when the time comes. I guess the soldiers above are all slaves and civilians.

Soldiers like these are good-looking but useless, except for relying on the terrain. If we can lure the guy down from the mountain, we can kill him in one round!"

Thinking of this, Zihe sat up again, called other people over, and prepared to discuss with them that they would rush up the mountain and set fire when they found an opportunity at dusk this evening.

Can't keep being dragged here.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun was at its highest point, and people felt a little warm under the sunlight.

Between winter and spring, the north is mostly dry. The grass and trees on the south slope have not yet begun to sprout green buds like those on the north slope. After all, it has just rained a little, so it will probably take a few more days before the branches begin to revive.

But after being exposed to the sun today, the bark of the grass and trees has become much drier.

After dinner and rest, the people who were looking out on the mountain came to report to Liu that they had discovered a group of people from the east who had forced their way across the Black Mountain and were behind them.

In two hours at most, you will be able to enter the dense forest area on the south slope.

Upon hearing the report, Liwu's eyes flashed sharply.

Keep people staring.

Time continues to flow.

As it was getting dark, news came to Liwu that people were cooking down the mountain.

Liwu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and then he sneered: "It seems that the other party can't bear it anymore. Tell them to get the dry food and boil water in the empty stove. Since they can't bear it anymore, let's lure them out of their hole!

Everyone else should immediately go to the positions assigned to each battalion and take up their positions. Do not act rashly without receiving orders!"

After saying that, Liwu turned around and handed a bronze sword to Li Gui beside him, saying: "Li, from now on, I will leave it to you to watch the battlefield. If anyone is afraid of fighting, afraid, or fleeing, kill them all! Because next we are going to set a fire, a big fire, which may scare people, but we have to do it!"

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Li Gui's expression also became a little more serious.

He hurried down to make arrangements, and others also took action. Soon, a large number of people began to hide in the dugout.

On the south slope, some people began to pour water to soak the soil on the isolation belt, and at the same time, they started to make a fire to boil water. Liwu came in person and waited for the water to boil before he began to add salt.

dusk!

dong dong dong-

The sound of drums was heard from the north slope, and a large number of people began to rush up the hillside. Liwu responded, but it also scared the people on the mountain.

Fortunately, Li Gui led the supervision team and immediately shot down those who stood up and fled, thus suppressing their restlessness.

"Attack!" There were constant horn sounds from the foot of the mountain, and more and more elite Shang clan soldiers holding shields were at the forefront.

Although the north slope was densely wooded, the King of Shang had more than 10,000 men, and they were equipped with many cutting tools such as axes, so they still cleared a passage, pushed down the hillside from the woods in one breath, and then began to attack along the streams and valleys on the mountain.

Li Gui led people to supervise and deploy shooting troops along the stream valley, but due to the limited quality of the bows and arrows, they had little effect when facing the elite Shang soldiers.

If the King of Shang had not been afraid of suffering too much loss and had not dared to force his way in, how could this stream valley full of defensive forces have been able to stop the King of Shang's attack?

Therefore, as long as King Shang made up his mind, it only took half an hour and at the cost of nearly a hundred people's loss, King Shang still rushed to the halfway point of the mountain.

At the same time, drum sounds began to be heard from the south slope. King Shang and his chariot were outside the forest. They heard the agreed drum sounds from the south and could not help but rejoice: "Give the order, send more troops! The south slope has also been attacked, and the next step is to coordinate and cooperate! Take the top of the mountain in one go!"

"Yes!" Everyone felt encouraged.

It was agreed before that as soon as the south reached halfway up the hill, they would start beating drums so as to inform the north slope to respond.

Now, the goal has been achieved!
How could these people not be excited? They could finally leave the Liyang Mountains!
By then, the troops will have reached Pengcheng! This battle will be almost complete!

"Hold on! Don't retreat!" Li Gui bent his bow and shot down a tribal soldier who retreated in fear, then roared to the front, "Only if you stop them can you survive! Those who survive, I will reward you with ten slaves and a piece of land, and let you become a chief! Otherwise, you will all die!"

Under the dual threats of encouragement and death, the first line of defense halfway up the north slope barely held.

But fifteen minutes later, the middle of the mountain was breached.

Li Gui's face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around and said to the person behind him: "Go find Li Wu, the first direction of the north slope has been broken!"

The people behind him quickly rushed to the central army and found Liwu who was looking at the sand table.

Hearing that the first line of defense on the north slope only lasted about fifteen minutes, Liwu was not moved, but just said: "Hold the second line of defense for fifteen minutes. The south slope is almost done!"

"Yes!" The man hurried to find Li Gui and told him what Liwu said.

Li Gui could only agree.

At this moment on the south slope, the enemy had already reached the second hurdle.

Zhuoliu, the leader, was looking at the last line of defense excitedly. After rushing up the mountain, no one would be able to stop him!
"Subjects of the King of Shang! Charge up the mountain! Kill all these damned traitors! Take down Liyang, and you will all get your own slaves!"

"Roar!"

When the soldiers heard these words and saw the last line of defense and the open space in the middle, they felt that there was something wrong, but perhaps this was the battlefield prepared by the other side?
So, they sped up and rushed up, and the mountains were full of people.

There were also a lot of dead branches and dry weeds on the ground, which made a crackling sound.

Some people even kick the ball and a lot of black charcoal and white powder will fly around, but no one cares.

"Kerosene tanks ready!"

Liwu's voice appeared at the last line of defense.

He pointed the feather fan he had been waving forward: "Ignite! Launch!"

Although the sun is setting, the speed at which the south slope darkens is slower than that of the north slope.

Therefore, when the kerosene tank was thrown out, it did not attract much attention. It was only after it hit the ground that the splashing flames injured some people, causing screams.

Zhuoliu was still a little confused, but he soon sneered: "Follow me! The enemy has run out of tricks!" (End of this chapter)
