Chapter 100 Front and rear pincers
The huge fire that broke out on the cliff above the sword pavilion reflected the entire sky red, and could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.
Wang Gui, Jiang Fa and a group of personal guards were lurking in a valley. After leaving the valley and passing through a mountain path, they reached an endless hilly plain area. After walking for nearly ten miles, they reached the back gate of the Chengjun camp.
"General, a signal has been sent from Jiange." A guard who was responsible for lookout and investigation outside the valley quickly walked in to report.
There was a trace of excitement on Wang Gui's face, and he turned around and said: "Mr. Jiang, let's go, let's set off immediately."
Jiang Fa nodded and said: "Okay, I have been waiting for today." He picked up the Guan Dao beside him, stood up with a flash, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant. The bloody scene back then still remains with him.
Never dare to forget at all
He wanted to kill Zhang Zhaocheng with his own hands, and then send his head back to Nanzheng to pay tribute to the heroes of the Tianji Sect who died tragically at the hands of the enemy nearly twenty years ago. If he had the chance, he would even want to kill Li Xiong as well.
Wang Gui also felt the evil aura on Jiang Fa's body, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the old guy. He shook his head secretly, stood up and waved: "Brothers, let's go."
The guards who were resting scattered throughout the valley quickly put on all kinds of equipment, quickly formed a formation, and walked towards the outside of the mountain.
Five hundred and two people trotted along among the sparse trees on both sides of the road. Soon, they arrived two miles away from the camp gate. Further forward, the trees were all cut down, and they could no longer block their figures.
Wang Gui shouted: "Get down and crawl forward."
The guards immediately lay down in the knee-deep grass, lying on the ground and moving forward quickly. Jiang Fa was embarrassed, lying on the ground and moving forward was humiliating. However, when he saw the two towering archery towers in front of the village,
, knowing that there was no good way to think of, he immediately gritted his teeth and lay down, pouting his buttocks forward.
Jiang Fa felt that his old face was a little hot, and it was too embarrassing to be in such a humiliating posture. Fortunately, the guards did not notice him, which made him feel better.
Gradually, Jiang Fa noticed that the guards pressed their bodies to the ground, swung their waists slightly, and used the power of their arms and legs to push their bodies forward, unlike him who pushed his buttocks up.
He quickly imitated the marching posture of the guards. After several attempts, he gradually mastered the essentials of crawling forward. Not to mention, compared with sticking his buttocks out, it was really comfortable.
Amidst the rustling sounds of various insects and movements in the grass, we approached about 150 steps below the archery tower. This is a very dangerous distance. If the sentry in the archery tower searches carefully, he can see the blurry black figures moving faintly in the grass.

Wang Gui didn't dare to crawl forward anymore. With a wave of his hand, everyone stopped and remained motionless.
After looking up at the archery tower for a while, Wang Gui's cheeks bulged and he let out a wild wolf cry of "oooooooooo"
There were two sentries on each of the archery towers. They were looking around nervously, but the ones with more eyes were still focused on the direction of the front village. When they heard the wolf howl, they both couldn't help but look back. They didn't take it too seriously and quickly turned their heads.
Back in the wilderness, a few wolves coming down from the mountains are nothing.
"I don't know what's going on ahead? Today's movement is much louder than before. Will the Jin army really attack the stronghold?" A sentry guard said to himself
Another person took over and said: "This is not something we should worry about. If we really want to call us, we can't think of it. We should keep an eye on our own door."
After a few simple conversations, calm returned to the arrow tower.
After a while, four black figures walked out of the village gate. When they came to the bottom of the arrow tower, the sentry asked: "Who? Where are you going?"
The leader of this group was Yang Yuan, who was asked to surrender by Wang Gui. The other three were scouts who were familiar with him and were also recruited to surrender.
Yang Yuan raised his head and replied: "Go out and squat."
The sentry guard asked in confusion: "Why so early? You came out before the time?"
Yang Yuan said helplessly: "There was a lot of commotion up front today, and the higher-ups sent us all out for fear of making a mistake." Then, as if he thought of something, he raised the package in his hand and said, "By the way, we are all
Poor people, it’s not easy for everyone, and you’re still hungry? No, bring some food over here.”
The sentry guard was obviously moved and hesitated: "Isn't this...perhaps inappropriate?"
"Hey" Yang Yuan waved his hand and said magnanimously: "We are all brothers, why are you so polite? I will bring it up to you right now." After saying that, the two of them climbed up the ladder.
Although the sentry felt that there were too many people coming up, he was too embarrassed to say anything because they were giving him food.
The four of them climbed up the two watchtowers respectively and handed over the food. The sentry thanked him and took it with his hand with a naive smile. Then he couldn't wait to open it and stuff it into his mouth. It seemed that he was starving. Yang Yuan looked at the watchtower opposite.
After gaining a tacit understanding with the two people over there, they winked at their companion, who nodded knowingly. The two suddenly took action at the same time, rubbing their palms together to form a knife, and struck the unsuspecting sentry on the back of the neck.
Suddenly, the sentry had food in his mouth and was about to fall over, but was carefully caught and put down softly on the floor. He was knocked unconscious on the spot and the opposite archery tower also went smoothly.
Soon, the four people climbed down from the archery tower. Yang Yuan pursed his lips and whistled, and ten more figures came out from behind the wall. When the gatekeepers looked out, they raised their swords and hit each of them hard on the back of the head.
He chopped them unconscious, then quickly carried them outside the stronghold, picked up the weapons on the ground, and stood at the door to act as a temporary guard.
Yang Yuan then led his companions to run out. While running, he also heard a wolf howl.
"Let's go, be careful." Wang Gui waved his hand and took the lead in walking forward quickly, with his bodyguards and Jiang Fajun following suit.
When they came closer, Yang Yuan led the other three scouts and saluted: "I have seen the general, everything is in order."
Wang Gui was overjoyed, but he didn't have time to say anything more. He just nodded and said: "Okay, you have made great achievements this time. I will definitely introduce you to my general. Please don't worry."
Yang Yuan saluted and said: "I would like to express my gratitude to my brothers in advance. However, most of the sergeants in the stronghold have been disorganized and have no intention of fighting to the death. Please ask the general's subordinates to be careful later."
Wang Gui glanced at him appreciatively, smiled slightly and said: "I will have a sense of propriety, so don't worry about it. Without further ado, we will enter the camp now."
"Yes." Yang Yuan led the scouts and gave a salute, turned around and ran towards the camp, followed closely by Wang Gui and other personal guards. Because the archery tower and the gate of the camp were controlled, more than 500 people escaped without any danger.
Entered the Chengjun camp
"Light the fire," Wang Gui ordered.
The guards immediately took out the arrows that had been wrapped in tarpaulin, lit them and fired them randomly in all directions. Lines of fire fell on top of the camp. In an instant, the camp was ablaze with fire.
"The Jin army is coming to kill"
"Our army was defeated"
"Everyone, run for your lives"
More than a dozen scouts shouted at the top of their lungs, and the guards on Wang Gui's side also shouted to kill and continued to fire rockets one after another.
Within a few seconds, the entire camp was in chaos behind it. In the dark night, all you could see were rockets flying around, ignited fires everywhere, and figures running away like headless flies. The soldiers who stayed in place
I can't tell how many enemies came to kill me, and the chaos spread rapidly around.
The guards dispersed, driving away the panicked soldiers, setting fires everywhere, and shouting: "Those who surrender will not be killed." Of course, those who encountered resistance would not show mercy.
Five hundred people was not too many, but there was fire and chaos everywhere. It was too late for everyone to escape, and no one had time to tell how many enemies had come in. Many soldiers knelt down on the spot and held their heads with their hands.
, surrender on the spot
Due to his condescending position, Yunfeng noticed the changes in the rear camp before Li Xiong. As soon as he saw the fire rising, he immediately ordered: "Send a signal to the cavalry to put out the fire."
One of the guards took out a torch, lit it on the bonfire, and shook it three times behind Guancheng. At the same time, another guard went to put out the bonfire.
Yao Yisheng, who was already anxious when he saw the signal coming, quickly shouted: "Mount the horse" and took the lead to gallop towards the pass. However, the pavilion road was narrow and it was dark, so the whole cavalry was not happy and the guards on the cliff were furious.
Seeing that it was dark again at the critical moment, he immediately threw the lit kerosene bombs in the direction of the Chengjun camp. Although it could not cause any damage to the Chengjun, it could play a certain role in lighting. This was enough.
The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water, linked together.
The fire and noise in the camp were soon noticed by the people in front of the camp. The soldiers all looked at each other with panic on their faces. Anyone could guess what happened. Li Xiong was anxious and angry, and asked loudly
: "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, the camp has been captured by the Jin army," a general who just ran over said in panic.
Li Xiong suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes were black, his face was ashen, he looked like he was in a state of despair, he stood upright, unable to utter any words of blame.
Zhang Zhaocheng stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is coming up the mountain. Although we don't know how to avoid the eyes and ears of our army, I think there will not be too many people. Please send troops back to the camp immediately to quell the chaos. In this way, our army may
Can turn defeat into victory”
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Li Xiong quickly shouted to a general beside him: "I am sending you to lead five thousand soldiers back to the camp to quell the chaos. If you annihilate the invading Jin army, seal the title of marquis, and feed ten thousand households, the rest
All officers and men will be promoted to the third level and will never break their promise."
"I obey" the general saluted, ignited the five thousand troops and ran back
While Li Xiong was still struggling for his last chance of survival, the Qiang cavalry led by Yao Yisheng also galloped into the doorway, and Yunfeng quickly stopped the crossbow firing.
The Qiang cavalry passed through the door and slowed down a little, waiting for the cavalry from behind to form a formation. The cavalry came forward one after another, forming a three-column charge formation while moving forward.
Yao Yisheng turned around and cupped his hands toward Guancheng and said: "Brother, I'm going now."
Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "Yisheng, be careful not to kill indiscriminately and surrender your pawns."
"Brother, don't worry." Yao Yisheng turned back, clamped his legs, and took the lead in rushing forward, with the rumble of horse hooves following closely behind him (to be continued)
