At this time, there was a burst of strange flute music coming from the village, and several men in white stood out from behind the fence, holding up the flute and playing softly. Li Qingshan stopped and looked back, and saw that the snakes crawled out of several caves following the sound of the flute.

Protruding red letters, wandering around, are full of poisonous rice shovel heads.

These snakes had obviously not eaten for a long time, and they pounced on the officers and soldiers on the hillside. Li Qingshan slashed several snakes with his sword, and had to avoid the iron arrows shot from the village. He was in a very embarrassed state.

How could ordinary officers and soldiers be as skilled as him? Either they were hit by an arrow or bitten by a snake. This snake's venom is extremely strong and will kill you without even using a stick of incense.

The shield soldiers in front were already less than thirty feet away from the stronghold. How could they still obey the command at this time? They let the war drums roar and fled for their lives. The blood of the bitten soldier accelerated after running, and he fainted and fell to the ground before he could escape the snake formation.

Become a delicacy for the snakes.

Li Qingshan had no choice but to retreat down the hillside. The number of casualties reported by various armies was as high as a thousand, and the remaining combat-capable soldiers were less than 3,000. Li Chang came to the foot of the hillside, took a closer look, and did not blame Li Qingshan.

He said bitterly: "The bandits are really powerful. The venomous snake array surrounds the mountain village from 20 feet to 60 feet, but it does not spread. It must be because they dropped sulfur twice."

Li Qingshan said: "Master Li, ask people to quickly find sulfur nearby, smear it on your body, and then attack the stronghold!" Li Chang nodded and said: "Send people to find food. Even if it is a siege, we must capture Changle stronghold."

At this time, Ji Si stood aside and gestured repeatedly. Li Chang said: "The nearest government office is also a hundred miles away. Send soldiers to contact us quickly."

Li Qingshan said: "In the past few days, I have sent soldiers to dig wild vegetables and kill horses." He then ordered five hundred officers and soldiers to go in search of food, and another five hundred officers and soldiers to dig wild vegetables and hunt everywhere. The remaining two thousand officers and soldiers continued to besiege the mountain stronghold.

On Shixiong Mountain, Zhao Xu, Chen Ziang, and Zhou Meier were also looking at the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain. They saw the officers and soldiers pushing a dozen carts out of the mountain pass.

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Li Chang is going to transport grain. Haha, he has to go at least a hundred miles." Chen Ziang thought for a moment and said, "It's almost time to counterattack. We can't wait for this grain shipment to come back."

Zhao Xu counted with his fingers and said with a laugh: "Then it will be the night after tomorrow. The grain truck has not arrived yet. These turtles are so hungry that they are dizzy, haha." Zhou Meier clapped his hands and said: "Okay, this is the time.

"

She pulled Chen Ziang aside and asked, "What should I do, sister?" Chen Ziang said, "I will contact Ji Si then, and you only need to write a note."

The three of them looked down the mountain again. The officers and soldiers had been frustrated for days, and coupled with the lack of food and grass, their morale was a bit low. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Ziang said: "We will intercept the food team after we have solved the problem."

***

On the fifth day, Li Qingshan was busy arranging hunting and strengthening the defense around the military camp, but was unable to launch an attack on the mountain stronghold.

On the sixth day, the officers and soldiers slaughtered more than a dozen army horses and ate two meals of wild vegetables. Many officers and soldiers were unaccustomed to eating wild vegetables and suffered from diarrhea and were listless when walking.

Zhao Xu ordered people to release homing pigeons to notify Li Guyan of the ambush around him.

After dark, the officers and soldiers went to bed early because they were hungry, leaving only a few patrol teams. Chen Ziang took advantage of the darkness to jump out of the fence, took out an officer's clothes, put them on, and slipped into the officer's camp at the foot of the mountain. Because of the heavy supply of food and grass,

They were burned in Pomegranate Valley, and all the officers and soldiers in this camp slept in the open air.

There were only a few tents. Chen Ziang walked to Ji Si's tent and whispered: "Captain, I have something important to report to you."

Ji Si opened the tent and looked in with a pair of clear eyes. Chen Ziang handed over a piece of paper, which said: Sister, follow the people to the mountain pass to meet me. Ji Si recognized that this was Ruth's handwriting and immediately grabbed Chen Ziang.

He pointed his hand at the mountain pass and asked him to lead the way.

No one questioned Ji Si. The two walked out of the camp and towards the mountain pass. Chen Ziang led her up the hillside next to the mountain pass and walked into a forest. Ji Si's eyes widened and he looked around. Unexpectedly, Chen Ziang turned around, his right hand like a hook.

, point directly at the Fengfu point on the back of her head.

She couldn't move immediately. Chen Zi'ang covered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, girl, love has to happen." Then he carried him on his back, performed Qing Kung Fu, and returned to the village.

Zhou Meier had been waiting in the room for a long time, helped Ji Si down and let her lie on the bed. Chen Ziang looked at the sky, fearing that Ji Si would run back, and did not untie her acupuncture points, and said: "We are about to launch an attack, you can take care of her here.
