Chapter 36 The cliff of Huanglubao
"Is this Huanglu Fort? Oh my god, it's impossible to get up there!"

In the mountain forest under the moonlight, Song Xian covered his mouth, and the cliff of Huanglu Fort was reflected in his eyes full of despair.

This fortress on the ridge was built against the cliffs adjacent to Xiangyang Road. The front and rear walls formed a three-dimensional defense network. The outer wall alone was more than three feet high (about 7-8 meters), and the gate tower was another ten feet high. The city wall extends to both ends of the cliff. There are four watchtowers on the wall, each with a beacon tower and a shooting port.

Although it was already past midnight, the wall was illuminated by torches as bright as day. Within ten steps there were guards on duty with bows and arrows on their backs, as well as patrolling soldiers who passed by from time to time.

"Don't talk about it. You can't do it if you walk over." Hou Cheng's mouth was also full of bitterness.

In order to get up to the fortress from Xiangyang Road, they abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain in the dark. They walked in the forest for nearly half an hour. This was also thanks to the bright moonlight, otherwise they would not have known how long they would have been delayed.

However, when they came here and faced this high wall of sighs, their first question was how to get past it.

Yes, the area hundreds of steps in front of this fortress is actually a clean and white area. The trees here were once cut down by their roots, and braziers were placed at regular intervals for lighting, just to prevent any possible night attacks. .

Moreover, the terrain here is special, almost in the shape of a gourd. There are cliffs on both sides of the narrow road. Only the closer you get to the city wall, the terrain becomes wider. Even if you have tens of thousands of troops, you cannot easily deploy them here. Only a small number of troops can Passage.

And this passing distance is just within a stone's throw of the city.

You know, walking forward like this, under the shooting of three crossbows on the wall, this road is a veritable road of death. No wonder it is impossible to attack Huanglu Fort even with ten times the number of troops.

Cheng Lian sighed without saying anything depressing, but for the first time, complex negative emotions appeared in his eyes when he looked at Su Yao.

Can this official who has brought him countless shocks and surprises still create miracles?

Could it be that the cliff of Huanglu Fort was going to be their burial place?
"Huanglubao cannot rely on luck, let alone miracles!"

Jin Fangyan gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"You see, the number of guards patrolling the city has at least doubled compared to when I left. They have been alert and will not let go of anyone suspicious."

"Hmm~ This Huanglu Fort is indeed majestic."

Su Yao held her chin, there was no fear on her face, and she couldn't even talk about any despair.
No, Su Yao's eyes were actually shining in the moonlight. It was indeed a hidden level, this map, and this model, it was truly a masterpiece.

He had seen it in the encyclopedia before coming. Huangluling was the southern starting point of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty in later generations. In the future, the golden pass of Luliang Mountain, the grand pass of Luliang Mountain, would be built at the ruins of the mountain fort.

I think this is a map modeled on Jinsuoguan:
"I'm curious, how did you Huns defeat such a fortress?"

"."

Seeing that Su Yao seemed to have finally faced reality and began to think of solutions, and was no longer as arrogant as before, Jin Fangyan did not feel any joy of victory in the quarrel, but instead felt endless emptiness and powerlessness:

"We didn't fight here."

"Huh?" Su Yao's eyes followed the figure at the gate of the city.

"The fort designed by you Han people is really clever. It relies on the ridge and cliffs to control the Xiangyang Road, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to move.

But this kind of fortress on a ridge has a common shortcoming, and that is water. "

Jin Fangyan pointed to the dark distance:

"The only water point here is the creek in the forest over there, so the army only needs to besiege here without attacking. In less than ten days, Huanglu Fort will be destroyed without attack."

"...That's stupid enough." Su Yao turned his eyes to the passage in front of the fortress gate.

"No, this is not stupid." Jin Fangyan shook his head
"If your governor Zhang hadn't come out to fight with us, we wouldn't have had the chance to calmly surround Huanglu Fort."

It was the foolish behavior of Zhang Yi, the former governor of Bingzhou, that caused the situation in Bingzhou to get out of control. The last field elites in Bingzhou were lost in one fell swoop. The narrow mountain road of Xiangyang Road finally became a dead end blocking the warriors from returning home. Countless people fell to death on the roadside or fell to the bottom of the mountain. Only Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and more than a hundred people escaped.

"So you understand, we don't have time to cut off its water source for such a long time, so Huanglu Fort is indestructible."

Su Yao didn't say anything. His eyes had turned from the tall city gate tower to the abyss on both sides of the passage. The cliffs were so dark that they seemed to go straight into the abyss. Even with his ability, he would definitely die if he jumped.

"Okay, we're here now, so don't say any depressing words."

Hou Cheng patted his cheek and cheered up

"We had no intention of attacking this place by force. According to the original plan, we pretended to be a defeated army and went to lock the door at night. After pretending to open it, we swarmed up and bought time for the commander of the village. We went straight to capture the thief and the king first!"

Cheng Lian nodded:

"Then I will go first with Commander Su and Master Jin for the first wave. You will charge as soon as you see the switch. If something goes wrong, you can withdraw as soon as possible and report to the enemy. There is no need for reinforcements to come back."

This was a tactic that Su Yao and Zhang Yang had planned beforehand. It was very simple. They pretended to open and close the door as Jin Fangyan, and then relied on Su Yao to lead people through.

If it weren't for Su Yao's unparalleled performance before, Zhang Yang would never approve this plan, no matter how many military orders he issued.

Even so, the program's success was based on a fair amount of luck and serendipity.

"What if I lie about not opening and closing the door?"

Jin Fangyan's eyes turned to one side

"They are already alert. If I were the guard, I would never let anyone enter the city at night. Even if I wanted to let people in, I would not open the city gate, but hang a basket down. How will you stay then?"

Cheng Lian clapped his hands and refuted:

"Be afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. If you want everything to be perfect, then there will be no battles to fight in this world!"

"I think this barbarian is scared now, but -"

Suddenly, Song Xian drew out his weapon with a loud sound and pointed his sword at Jin Fangyan:
"——It's too late. There's no turning back when you draw your bow. You can go there if you want to. If you don't go there, it's better. I'll kill you right now and go back to report my work."

"Okay, okay, isn't it just death? I will accompany you!"

Jin Fang Yan said:
"But there is always time for me to write a suicide note. If something unfortunate happens to me, I hope the remaining people can pass it on to Zhang."

Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others looked at each other, wondering what this person wanted to do, but in the end they nodded and were about to say hello.
——"That's not necessary." Su Yao's voice came slowly.

Everyone was stunned and found that the Shangguan had disappeared without a trace.

——"Hijacking the camp and attacking the stronghold, making profits at night, small Huanglu Fort, let's see what can be done to me?
You can just wait here for the gate to open and enter the city. "

"what?!"

Where is Su Yao?
