The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 Skynet
The archers of the Jingzhou Army had been preparing for a long time, and for a while, the rain of arrows poured continuously towards the mountain village halfway up the mountain, almost covering the sun in the mountain area, and casting horrifying black shadows on the ground.

A quarter of an hour later, the archer's design was temporarily stopped, because the bandits at the top of the city had been suppressed so that they dared not show up again, and the gate of the cottage could not be closed at all.

The melee troops have also rushed to the gate of the village, swarming up, and the two sides began a tragic fight at the gate of the village.But bandits are bandits, and they are no match for well-trained officers and soldiers. The gate of the village was quickly breached, and the battle began in the village.Judging from the current battle situation, it only takes about a quarter of an hour to win here.

Zhang Fei was very satisfied with the results so far. He immediately grabbed his Zhangba Snake Spear, and wanted to bring all his reserves to support.

But Liu Chan was not as optimistic as Zhang Fei.Because it is easy to conquer the cottage on the mountainside, it does not mean that the cottage on the top of the mountain is also easy to take down.

The structure of the cottage on the top of the mountain is not only taller and stronger, but also a lot of rolling wood and thunder stones have been piled up on the top of the city. It may not be easy to suppress it with bows and arrows.Therefore, if the Jingzhou army launches another strong attack, it may have to pay some casualties.

Just when Zhang Fei was about to issue orders, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Liu Chan who was beside him, only to realize that Liu Chan had disappeared again!
Zhang Fei was a little frightened this time, because he immediately realized that Liu Chan might have already gone up the mountain, which was really fatal--before the battle, Liu Chan was guarded by experts, and the danger of acting without authorization was not too great.But now he is on the battlefield, no one can tell when the danger will come, if one is not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Zhang Fei was very anxious, and immediately ordered everyone to go up the mountain quickly to find Liu Chan, and then he rushed out first!

Liu Chan was indeed already in the cottage, surrounded by fifty silver-armored guards.Feathered arrows shot by the Jingzhou army and fallen corpses were everywhere on the ground, and the blood soon gathered into a small stream, converging towards the lower place.

Liu Chan's ears were filled with the sound of weapons colliding, as well as the screams of human beings when they were injured.He couldn't help feeling a little nervous, feeling that the scene in front of him was a scene of Asura's hell.

"My lord, do we want to support those soldiers?"

Zhao Feng's familiar voice came from Liu Chan's ear, and it was only then that he came back from the absent-mindedness just now.He quickly calmed down. Based on the situation in Xiangxiang, he judged that the Jingzhou army had gained a decisive advantage, and many bandits had already begun to flee.If Zhao Feng and the others are allowed to go up to help again, they will be suspected of taking the opportunity to grab credit.

Liu Chan rolled his eyes, then turned his head to look at Zhao Feng and the others, but they were still wearing the tattered clothes of ordinary people.Due to the urgency of the war, they rushed all the way to join Zhang Fei, and they didn't have time to change into the standard clothes of the silver-armored guards.

Liu Chan immediately had an idea in his mind, and said: "You don't have to go to support. There is a saying in the art of war: 'Guide it according to the situation'. Shi Hui stays, Zhao Feng, you bring forty people, and just pick up some broken copper and rotten iron to make it. Weapons, and then disguised as bandits and sneaked into the mountain stronghold!"

Zhao Feng was not a fool, he immediately understood Liu Chan's strategy, which was to infiltrate the city, and then cooperate with the attacking army from outside, so that he could capture the stronghold in one fell swoop!

This is no small credit, Zhao Feng couldn't help showing an excited smile on his face, promised, and immediately set off with his troops.

When Zhang Fei rushed into the small village on the mountainside alone, the fighting inside was completely over, and he only saw corpses all over the ground, as well as Liu Chan and others.

The stone hanging in Zhang Fei's heart finally went downstairs.He took a deep breath, and was about to step forward to reprimand Liu Chan.Liu Chan didn't want to, but he quickly stepped forward and said to Zhang Fei: "Uncle, you are late." Then he pointed to the Dazhai on the top of the mountain and told Zhang Fei that Dazhai was about to be broken.

Zhang Fei was a little surprised by Liu Chan's words. If Dazhai was so easy to fight, he wouldn't have to bring reserves to support him now.He said with a lesson in tone: "Adou, now you can not only mess around, but also lie, how can this be done?"

Liu Chan didn't take it seriously, and said confidently: "If you don't believe me, third uncle, let's wait and see."

Just when Liu Chan's voice fell, there was a sudden scream and a burst of fighting in the big village on the top of the mountain, and the thieves at the top of the city suddenly became chaotic.

Only then did Liu Chan say quite proudly: "Look, third uncle, Zhao Feng has already sneaked into the village with silver-armored guards. I believe they will open the gate of the village soon!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and secretly praised this nephew of Adou, although he was young, but he was very good at marching and fighting.The reason why he was able to suppress the bandits this time was so smooth, firstly, because he had made thorough preparations in advance; secondly, because the little guy Liu Chan was on the sidelines to make suggestions!

Sure enough, very quickly, the originally closed gate of Dazhai suddenly opened with a bang.

Zhang Fei's army immediately rushed into the main village. At this time, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to fight.

No, Liu Chan suddenly remembered something, immediately stopped Zhang Fei, and said, "Third uncle, there are already enough people above you, and these reserve soldiers will not be able to use them if they are brought up again. Why don't you let your nephew take command first?"

Zhang Fei was afraid that Liu Chan would cause some trouble again, so he asked, "The war here has already ended, what do you want the three hundred reserve soldiers to do?"

"Don't worry about this, anyway, it's just to catch those thieves who slipped through the net."

Only then did Zhang Fei feel relieved, and said, "I'll give it to you if you want it." Then, he rushed towards Dazhai with dozens of guards.

At this time, Liu Chan suddenly called a scout and asked him to explain the surrounding terrain in detail.After Liu Chan finished listening, he felt something was wrong in his heart, so he took the three hundred reserve soldiers and ran to the mountain behind the village.

In the cottage on the top of the mountain.

Fu Tianyuan got drunk again last night, and at this time he was still sleeping on the couch with his arms around the woman.His son Fuyao broke in suddenly and woke Futianyuan up: "Father, don't sleep anymore! Zhang Fei has already entered the cottage!"

"What?" When Fu Tianyuan heard Zhang Fei's name, Jiu Jin was startled awake.He immediately sprang up from the couch, lifted the woman on the couch to the ground, stretched out his hand to open the mechanism below, pulled up the float and jumped into the secret passage.Escape is the most important thing now, and he can't control the life and death of those minions.

After a while, Zhao Feng and his subordinates rushed into Fu Tianyuan's room first, and saw a woman squatting in a corner crying in disheveled clothes.Zhao Feng asked her about Fu Tianyuan's whereabouts.The woman was frightened by Zhao Feng's blood all over her body, she pointed tremblingly at the bed next to her, unable to speak a word.

A guard stepped forward and rummaged on the couch, and quickly found the mechanism to open the tunnel.Seeing that it was pitch black inside, Zhao Feng cut down a few planks of wood on the couch, wrapped them with sheets, made simple torches, and led people in after lighting them.

After they walked for a while, they found that the secret passage ahead had been blocked by boulders, making it impossible to pass through.Zhao Feng couldn't help being furious.

Last time in Baling Mountain, they were escaped by Fu Tianyuan from the back mountain. This time, they acted so quickly, but let him escape from the ground!When Zhao Feng thought of the young master's disappointed affection, he was so angry that he threw the torch to the ground, and immediately led people out of the tunnel, intending to go down the mountain to intercept it.

At the same time, Liu Chan took the 300 men and divided them into five groups, some of them searched along the mountain, and some searched along the trend of the river. As long as they found something different, they must report back.

Soon, someone came to report that they found a small cave by the river six or seven miles away from the bandit village.Liu Chan was overjoyed, and brought Shi Hui and sixty soldiers there. It really was a good cave.

The entrance of the cave is very wide, as tall as two adults.

The depth inside is very deep, there is no light, only darkness, like a bottomless stomach with a hungry stomach, once anything falls into it, it will immediately be swallowed up without a trace.

There are a few shrubs growing next to the cave, the branches and leaves are quite lush, and many vines hang down from the mountain wall above the cave entrance, like a bead curtain, slightly hiding the cave entrance.

Liu Chan then ordered everyone to hide around and surrounded the entrance of the cave tightly.The rest of the people continued to search elsewhere.

Half an hour later, there was a sudden movement in the cave, and two people were heard cursing inside.One person said: "Father, why are we so unlucky, why do we meet that reckless Zhang Fei every time!"

Another person sighed: "Oh, maybe it's because I'm so far away! Son, don't worry, I have already hidden a boat downstream for my father. Our master escaped today, and tomorrow we can make a comeback!"

When Liu Chan heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help being overjoyed, it turned out that it was Fu Tianyuan and his son who came here!God treated Liu Chan not badly, and finally let him catch the enemy with his own hands!

Liu Chan signaled the soldiers to continue ambush and not to act without authorization, and then said softly to Shi Hui: "It's up to you later. As soon as they come out, you launch a sneak attack immediately, and then all of us rush forward!" I see how he can run away from Futianyuan!" A complacent smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Shi Hui also laughed, and said: "I have followed Fu Tianyuan and his son for a while, and I know that their martial arts are not very good. Don't worry, son, I will help you catch them!"

"That would be the best."

When Fu Tianyuan and his son came out of the cave triumphantly, Shi Hui suddenly rushed out, hitting Fu Tianyuan's calf with the back of the long knife in his right hand, and Fu Tianyuan screamed and fell to his knees in pain.

At the same time, Shi Hui turned around, and the dagger in his left hand was right on his floating neck.The soldiers ambushing around rushed out and pushed the two men to the ground.

Shi Hui's skill was really quick, and he won the victory in an instant!

Only then did Liu Chan come out clapping his hands, and smiled at the two of them, "Futianyuan, Fuyao, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Fu Tianyuan asked in shock: "Who are you? How did you know this secret path?"

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "I am the young master Liu Chan whom you hate so much!"

Fu Tianyuan and his son finally couldn't help exclaiming, looking in disbelief at this thin but bookish boy in front of him, it was actually Liu Chan, the son they hated so much!
Liu Chan waved his right hand and shouted, "You never thought that it would fall into my hands today, right? Tie them both up for me, and take them back to see Second Uncle!"

It turned out that Liu Chan saw that the local terrain was not dangerous at that time. With Fu Tianyuan's personality as an old fox, how could he easily set up a village here?And I heard from the scouts that there are many valleys and rivers here.Liu Chan realized that such a terrain might hide an underground river, would Fu Tianyuan use this to escape?

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately sent people to search along the lower terrain, and pay special attention to those places with caves. Unexpectedly, he really let the blind cat meet the dead mouse, and caught Fu Tianyuan and his son.Sometimes, once a person's luck arrives, he can't stop it!
