Chapter 66 Crossing Linjia Cliff at Night

Therefore, Zhang Shun and others struggled for a day, but achieved nothing. The soldiers could not enter Linjiazhuang Wengcheng. In the evening, Zhang Shun had to hold another combat meeting. After discussing for a long time, Xiao Qinhu proposed to attack the city overnight. Wei Congyi and Chen Jindou were initially opposed, but were finally convinced by Xiao Qinhu. As for Zhang Shenyan, he remained silent and watched with cold eyes. Zhang Shun was used to it and didn't care much.

In the evening, Zhang Shun and others finished their dinner and then lit up lamps for a night battle. They bombarded them with artillery from time to time, and pretended to charge into the city every now and then. They only frightened Linjiazhuang to the point where he didn't dare to slack off. Lin Mingde's arrow wound had not yet healed, and because of his third brother "Flower Monk"'s robbery of the city last night, he was unable to get a good night's sleep. He just felt very sleepy. He had no choice but to yell at the "dog officials" in the city to cheer up and prevent himself from falling asleep.

As a result, the scolding lasted until midnight, and Lin Mingde, the "Shentang official", almost became hoarse from the curses. Zhang Shun and other "dog officials" hadn't stopped attacking yet, and he couldn't bear it anymore. So he had to arrange for two groups of people to take turns defending, while he went to the bedroom to rest.

However, he was really angry and unbearable. He had always bullied others, so how could there be any reason for others to ride on him? He lay there with a severe headache, but he was tossing and turning because of the stagnant energy in his heart. As soon as he finally closed his eyes, he heard the sound of fighting outside again. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Guan Gu, you are not sleeping at this hour, can you let me live in peace for a while!"

Just after he finished scolding, Lin Mingde jumped up. He realized something was wrong: "This voice shouldn't be so close. Could it be that the officers and soldiers entered the village?"

Lin Mingde quickly found his Overlord Gun, reluctantly picked it up and went to check it out. He opened the door and took a look, only to see a fire outside and the sounds of fighting everywhere. Lin Mingde quickly called his housekeeper twice, but he was nowhere to be seen. He was about to take action when he suddenly saw a group of men and horses rushing over. When he looked up, he saw that the leader was eight feet tall, burly and strong, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow jaw beard, holding two swords, and a strong back. bow. It was none other than Zhang Shun's sworn second brother Xiao Qinhu.

It turned out that at night, Xiao Qinhu realized that the incident was caused by him, so he suggested that Zhang Shun continue the night attack to attract the attention of Linjiazhuang, while he led ten carefully selected warriors to climb up the back mountain to surprise Linjiazhuang. . This cliff was originally nameless, but because it was close to Linjiazhuang, it was called Linjiazhuang.

At first, Zhang Shun, Wei Congyi and Chen Jindou didn't agree, thinking it was too risky. Xiao Qinhu then said: "I am a hunter in the Taihang Mountains. It is normal to climb mountains and ridges and climb rocks and cliffs. Although this cliff is steep, it is not an insurmountable place."

"When I was a hunter, I made three iron claws, which were just right for rock climbing. When climbing, I threw the iron claws and hooked them on the trees on the cliff. I used them as leverage to help me climb a section. Then put down the rope to pull the brother up. If you keep going like this, you should be able to climb this cliff easily."

Zhang Shun and the others saw that Xiao Qinhu had a nose and eyes, so they believed him and agreed to his plan. In the middle of the night, Xiao Qinhu and the ten brave men who dared to die had rested in advance. Before setting off, Zhang Shun treated them to a meal of wine and meat, and gave each of them twelve taels of silver before they all swore an oath and set off.

However, this night climbing was not what Xiao Qinhu imagined. Because his sight was blocked, Xiao Qinhu often threw hooks, but could not hook anything. There were even cases where although he hooked something, it fell off when he climbed hard. Case. Fortunately, Xiao Qinhu has rich experience in climbing mountains and ridges. He throws two hooks every time and only climbs when the hooks are firm.

It's just that the ten people selected by Xiao Qinhu were not so lucky. These people were all hungry people recruited by Zhang Shun from Meng Jin. They were not so familiar with the mountains and were climbing in the wild. Often people accidentally step out of the rope, or fail to hold on to the rope securely, and fall down, to pieces. Fortunately, this place was a certain distance away from Linjiazhuang and blocked by cliffs, so the screams of the fallen did not reach Linjiazhuang.

Xiao Qinhu and the others climbed for about half an hour before finally climbing to the top of the mountain. Xiao Qinhu looked down and saw Linjiazhuang below. At this time, Xiao Qinhu raised his tired and trembling hands, only to find that there were only three people who climbed up with him, and the rest died under the cliff.

At this point, Xiao Qinhu didn't care much. He could only sit down and rest for a while with the other three people. He ate some of the food he had brought and drank some water before heading down the mountain. For the convenience of climbing, no one carries long soldiers. Some of the other three people held knives and some held swords. Only Xiao Qinhu carried a pair of knives and his tiger tendon bow on his back. The eight-foot-long spear made of fine iron was placed in the camp.

When they arrived at Linjiazhuang, sporadic gunfire was still ringing from the other side of Zhuangzi. Sure enough, no one paid attention to Zhuangzi's back. Since Zhuangzi was built with a mountain behind it, the four of them took advantage of the height of the mountain to easily climb into Zhuangzi.

When he arrived at the village, Xiao Qinhu thought to himself: When hunting wild beasts, he always shoots the strong and fierce ones first, and then pursues the old, weak, sick and disabled. This should be the same in fighting. As long as he and others find Lin Mingde and cut him into two pieces, it will be a success.

So he led the other three people to find the owner of the village, Lin Mingde, by moonlight. Lin Mingde was arrogant, extravagant and ruthless, but he was easy to find. The most luxurious place in the village should be occupied by him. When Xiao Qinhu thought of this, he groped towards the tallest and most luxurious courtyard.

When they arrived, Xiao Qinhu led the other three people to climb over the wall and went to look for Lin Mingde, the "Shentang Official". Who would have thought that he would just meet the Lin family's housekeeper who was returning from arranging rest arrangements for the soldiers on duty. Xiao Qinhu saw that he was dressed in an extraordinary way and took the opportunity to kidnap him. After he asked Ming Lin Mingde where he was, he killed him with a knife. The two men were not good people. Xiao Qinhu sentenced the butler to death without even asking about his identity. But I didn't expect that before the housekeeper died, he screamed and woke up the Lin family servants. Xiao Qinhu had no choice but to take the other three people and fight while looking for Lin Mingde's whereabouts. And the Lin family's servants didn't know how many people came in, and there was chaos.

Xiao Qinhu took advantage of the chaos and found Lin Mingde's location based on the housekeeper's words. When he was about to rush into the house, he happened to see a man coming out with an iron gun. Xiao Qinhu didn't recognize this person, but he recognized his fine iron overlord spear and the brocade clothes on his body.

So, Xiao Qinhu took the other three people to capture this person regardless of the situation. Unexpectedly, although Lin Mingde was injured, he was holding a long weapon. He brandished the Overlord's Spear, but the four of them were holding short soldiers and could not get in.
