People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 500 Black Dragon Ridge Breaks, Qiu Shen Accumulated Defeat

The night was dark, and before one knew it, five quarters of the Yin hour had passed.

Li Xuan stood beside a neat row of catapults, dressed in black and armor, almost blending into the night.

Turning around, Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu who was behind her, and said in a low voice: "Wake up all the generals. In addition, it is strictly ordered that no additional fires are allowed, and no too much noise is allowed."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately cupped his hands, then turned and walked away.

Li Xuan raised her head and looked towards the mountainside in the distance.

It was pitch black there now, and nothing could be seen.

However, no one knew that in the second half of the night, in the short half hour before, hundreds of black soldiers had been lurking on the mountainside, and they were crawling forward with extreme caution.

The soldiers of Tianyin Sect on the top of the mountain didn't notice anything abnormal at all.

Throughout the night, the fireballs fired every half an hour had already illuminated all the movements on the hillside for them. They never thought that when they were most sleepy, the murderous intent had come.

Li Xuan turned her head and looked towards the east. In less than two quarters of an hour, the east will be white and the sky will be bright.

Once the sky brightened, no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks there were, they would be completely exposed to people's eyes.

So no one thought that Li Xuan would take advantage of the quarter of an hour before dawn to take down the entire Black Dragon Ridge.

Only a quarter of an hour.

Soon, Duan Baoxuan, Qiu Shenji, Huai Jin, Xue Qianfeng and others rushed over with their own soldiers.

Duan Baoxuan was in good spirits because he slept very early last night.

Li Xuan said that it would take a day and two nights, so he would definitely use up the day and two nights.

"Captain, please give me an order. The whole army will be quietly assembled. After half an hour, the whole army will attack the mountain and take the Black Dragon Ridge in one fell swoop." Li Xuan's expression was solemn and his voice was very deep, but there was a sense of trust when he heard it.

"Sima, order to execute." Duan Baoxuan waved his hand directly, Sima Yao Zhi immediately cupped his hand, and then turned to arrange.

Those who can be in the camp now, even if they are not the elite soldiers of Kuaiji Mansion and Huangshan Mansion, are all elite soldiers transferred from various states.

Soon, all the soldiers began to put on their clothes and take their weapons. They felt in the dark and began to form a team.

There is no need for other people to say anything, just looking at the movement tonight, everyone understands that the capture of Heilongling is now.

……

A quarter of an hour later, a ray of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and Li Xuan did not hesitate at all.

The right hand was raised high, and the next moment it suddenly fell.

The high pole of the catapult on one side immediately slid out, and then locked tightly.

The next moment, a group of soldiers had already placed more than a dozen grass balls in the throwing frame, and the artillery quickly ignited the grass balls.

But for some unknown reason, although the inside of the grass ball burned violently, when it burned outside, the flame quickly dimmed.

With a sound of "swish", the grass ball has been thrown out fiercely.

The wind made the sparks blaze all of a sudden, and everyone beside the catapult could already smell a thick smoke.

"Poison smoke ball?" Huai Jin couldn't help the four of them immediately said it.

Li Xuan didn't even look at him, her gaze followed the fireball and landed heavily on a place 80 meters above the mountainside.

The fireball fell there with a "snap", and the smoke immediately dispersed.

The strong westerly wind in the early morning has already blown the smoke down deeply in the blink of an eye.

In the dark night, the smoke has completely dispersed on the mountain road.

At this moment, the hundreds of black-clothed soldiers on the mountainside began to rush forward quickly and silently.

On the top of the mountain, a soldier holding a torch looked down the mountain. More than a dozen fireballs with flaming lights had already smashed hard on the mountainside, but this time it seemed that the flames were blown out by the wind. burn up.

At this time, red light began to appear on the far horizon, piercing into the eyes, and the Tianyin soldiers' attention was immediately attracted.

As if his entire thoughts froze for a moment, the soldier glanced at the distant horizon, then turned around and turned back.

At this time, Li Xuan stared fiercely at Huai Jin, and said in a cold voice: "Captain Huai, let your men go immediately."

Huai Jin was slightly taken aback, but when he turned his eyes, he thought that he had trained a group of soldiers according to Li Xuan's method yesterday, and now he finally understood how to use these people.

"Captain Huai." At this moment, Duan Baoxuan turned to look at Huaijin.

Huai Jin didn't dare to be negligent, his face twitched, and he immediately bowed his hands and quickly made arrangements.

"After half a quarter of an hour, everyone will attack the mountain together." Li Xuan looked up at Duan Baoxuan again, Duan Baoxuan nodded immediately, then looked at Qiu Shenji, Xue Qianfeng and others present, and shouted in a low voice: "Still waiting here What to do, go back to each department, and attack the mountain after half a quarter of an hour."

"Here!" The deep promises of everyone sounded immediately.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan again, and suddenly saw Li Xuan operating a catapult in person.

The pitcher slipped out in the last quarter, and immediately, a smoke ball was thrown out hard.

With a huge arc, the smoke ball hit Heilongling fiercely, only 20 meters away from the top of the mountain.

The smoke immediately spread over the top of the mountain.

At this moment, more Tianyin teachers were attracted, and many people leaned forward, wanting to see what happened.

But at this moment, the eastern sky shunjin shone with intense white light.

For a moment, everyone's eyeliner became extremely narrow.

It was at this time that more smoke balls were thrown up from the bottom of the mountain.

"Papapa", it kept falling not far from the top of the mountain.

This time, as if desperate, the smoke balls fell quickly.

The sight of everyone on the top of the mountain was disturbed by the big sun, but they all clearly saw puffs of smoke coming out of the smoke ball, and then diffused down the mountain along the wind, and they couldn't see clearly anything on the mountain road. He could only vaguely see some dark shadows moving in the smoke.

What are the officers and soldiers doing? They are fuming themselves, but what's the point of doing this?
"No, they are taking the opportunity to attack the mountain." A team leader suddenly changed his face, and shouted at his subordinates in a cold voice: "Hurry up and throw rolling stones and trees down!"

After finishing speaking, the team leader immediately strode towards the side, and then viciously rang the alarm bell hanging on the side.

There was a sound of "Boom", and in an instant, the alarm bell rang on the top of the mountain, and countless sleeping soldiers woke up at this moment.

The moment they woke up, they had already grasped the handle of the knife.

Team leader Tianyin finally heaved a sigh of relief, and looked down the mountain again. At this moment, a black crossbow shot straight out of the smoke, and then ruthlessly sank into the team leader's throat.

Blood spurted out immediately.

The moment the Tianyin team fell to the ground, he clearly saw that countless black-clothed officers and soldiers came out of the smoke with only a long knife, and rushed to the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye.

……

Seeing groups of soldiers rushing to the top of the mountain, Li Xuan stopped shooting the smoke ball in an instant.

Slightly relieved, he looked sideways, and suddenly saw that only Duan Baoxuan, Yao Zhi, Li Ji, Qiu Zhenmu, Yu Ze, and some other civil officials were still standing on one side, while the other people who were originally here They've all disappeared.

They have all killed towards the top of the mountain.

Duan Baoxuan kept his eyes on the top of the mountain, and when he noticed the stop of the fireball projection, he turned his head, looked at Li Xuan, and nodded with satisfaction: "One day and two nights, my nephew said this, and the governor admires it."

"The governor's reputation is too high." Li Xuan hurriedly cupped her hands, raised her eyes, looked at the top of the mountain, and said softly: "Now, everything should not be repeated, right?"

"It should be so." Duan Baoxuan shook his head, and said softly: "We all know that the most dangerous time is before dawn, but after the first time you are safe, you will naturally relax your vigilance the second time, and then assist with other means, even if you want to react, you will not be able to react. "

The Tianyin teacher's nerves were too tense. Since Li Xuan's arrival, he has hardly stopped attacking for two days and two nights.

Huge in the daytime, dark and secretive in the night.

Before the dawn of the first day, he was able to hold on. At the dawn of the second day, even the captain who was on duty at night did not know where to hide.

The weakness of human nature, coupled with the dazzling light of the dawn, the smoke that obscures everything, and the soldiers who lurked on the mountainside in advance.

With one breath, they successfully rushed to the top of the mountain in a very short time.

"It's just a momentary opportunity. If you can't rush up, it will be in vain." Li Xuan raised his head, and the thick smoke gradually dissipated. He could clearly see that Qiu Shenji was rushing forward, and others like Huai Jin and Xue Qianfeng Both are slower.

Especially Huai Jin, his left arm was injured, and the speed of rushing up the mountain was very fast at the beginning, but it didn't take long before it slowed down quickly.

The same is true for Xue Qianfeng, he is faster than Huaijin, but his speed is limited.

On the contrary, it was Qiu Shenji who rushed upwards with all his might.

He held an extremely sharp black long lance in his hand, and the tyrannical aura made the soldiers in front give way unconsciously.

"Nephew, don't go up and try." Duan Baoxuan's voice suddenly rang in Li Xuan's ear.

Li Xuan, who was observing Qiu Shen's accumulation of combat power, suddenly came back to his senses, then shook his head and said, "If the general Zhonglang is here, my nephew will not offer it..."

Li Xuan hadn't finished speaking when she heard a "ding", a crisp crashing sound, coming from the top of the mountain.

Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan raised their heads at the same time, and suddenly saw the edge of the mountain top in the distance. Qiu Shenji stepped on the top of the mountain with one foot, and the other foot was still hanging in the air. The long long knife directly slashed at the chest, but it blocked the long lance.

The long knife over half a zhang immediately attracted Li Xuan's attention.

This kind of knife is not something ordinary people can use.

The long knife slashed down in an instant, and with a swipe, it had slashed fiercely between Qiu Shenji's waist and abdomen.

At this moment, Qiu Shenji slammed his foot backwards, and in a blink of an eye he avoided the cutting edge of the blade.

The long lance in his hand was already piercing the opponent's chest like a poisonous dragon, with an incredible speed.

With a sound of "Dang", the long saber raised sharply, and chopped the long lance aside with all its strength.

But at this moment, Qiu Shenji's feet had all collapsed on the top of the mountain.

In an instant, he had already rushed forward fiercely, with the long lance in front of him, and the person hiding behind the lance, calm and fierce.

The owner of the long knife on the opposite side could only retreat.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn't help shaking her head.

Qiu Shenji is a general of the Jinwu Guard, and before that he was a general of the Qianniu Guard, and his strength is extraordinary.

Although he is harsh, his strength in the center is second only to General Sixteen Guards, not even weaker than him.

This is also the reason why the emperor sent to Shezhou.

Once he stands on the top of the peak, it will be very difficult for anyone to drive him down.

"Captain, who was that person just now?" Li Xuan turned to look at Duan Baoxuan, that person was the biggest enemy who blocked them in Heilongling.

"Fang Qianshan is said to be the cousin of Fang Fengjin and Fang Yunxiu."

"Thousands of mountains are beautiful." Li Xuan's mouth flashed a trace of coldness, and he thought softly: "So it's the enemy!"

"Captain Governor! I'm afraid I have to go there." Li Xuan cupped his hands at Duan Baoxuan, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Go!" Duan Baoxuan looked up at the peak, then nodded.

"Thank you, Commander!" Li Xuan bowed slightly, and the next moment, he had already rushed up to the peak.

Behind him, Li Zhu, Qiu Zhenmu, and more than 20 Qianniuwei rushed forward immediately.

Li Xuan's footsteps rushed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she had already rushed to the halfway up the mountain, even surpassing Huai Jin and Xue Qianfeng.

Along the way, Li Xuan was staring at the peak. At this moment, he could no longer see Fang Qianshan's figure, so he could only keep silently saying in his heart: "Fang Qianshan, you must be more confident, don't be fooled by others." Qiu Shenji will kill him first..."

A "bang" suddenly sounded above Li Xuan's head.

A figure in black and gold armor was directly thrown into the air, and then fell fiercely towards the mountainside.

That person was indeed Qiu Shenji.
