Zhou Gang organized the first wave of attacks and failed. The expression on his face did not change much. Zhou Gang was a veteran in the army. It was the reason why victory and defeat were common in military affairs. This was the first time the attack failed. He regrouped his team immediately. Zhou Gang organized the soldiers and issued the order for the second attack.

The soldiers who retreated to the mountain quickly recovered their formation and rushed to the mountain again

Keep going up the rugged and steep mountain road

This time, I encountered the first situation. When I attacked the mountain, I was blocked by a powerful obstacle. Under the attack of big stones and dense trees, the soldiers of Youzhou returned without success.

It's almost evening when it comes down twice in a row

The sun sets, the moon rises, it's dark

Shi Zhu sighed lightly and called Zhou Gang to come and sighed lightly: "We were the first to arrive in Jianshan and gained the lead. However, at noon tomorrow, the two armies on the east and west side of Jianshan will definitely arrive. As for the troops lying in Zhangcun, they will also arrive tomorrow night tonight. If we cannot take down the ducks on the Jizhou army on the mountain, we will fly."

Zhou Gang said ashamedly: "The General's incompetence disappointed the general." Zhou Gang said: "The Jizhou Army on the mountain will definitely relax its vigilance. At that time, it is our opportunity. Please give the General another chance. After dark, the General will personally bring people to touch it."

Shi Zhu said: "The things sent by Taishici are not simple, there will be defense."

Zhou Gang clenched his fist and said, "It's dark and the mountains are full of woods. The light is dark. I can't see clearly. I will take a very small number of soldiers to touch it. Once I understand the situation, let our soldiers go up the mountain in batches as long as they gain a foothold on the mountain, they will definitely succeed."

Shi Zhu nodded and said, "You can try your advice and I'll be sure."

"Thank you, General"

Zhou Gang looked excited and secretly encouraged him to touch it at night

The army returned to the foot of the mountain to camp and wait for the opportunity

A pile of bonfires on the mountain are lit

The soldiers under Li You also set up camps on the mountain to patrol, and all the guards were arranged. Li You sat next to the fire and looked serious. Li You also had a general of all sizes and big and small in the army around Li You said slowly: "The Youzhou army could not attack the mountain during the day and may come back again at night, so we must be prepared."

"Please give orders to the general"

During the day, Junhou, who was responsible for guarding the road, took the lead in opening his mouth

Li You thought about it and suddenly asked, "Is there any caltrop in the army?"

Junhou replied: "I don't know if I have to ask the military officer."

Li You said: "Call me and ask me."

The Junhou went to pass the order for a while and the quarantine in charge of logistics came to Li You's side and saluted respectfully. He immediately replied: "The caltrops stored in the general's army are just caltrops. Once used on the roads in the mountains, although they can temporarily stop the opponent's attack, but when we go down the mountain, the caltrops will also have an impact on us. It's not easy to clean the plains in the mountains."

"It's okay to take it out and use it to hurry up and sprinkle it on the road as soon as possible."

Li Yousi's determination and direct order

The military officer nodded and asked to make arrangements immediately

After the matter of the caltrops was arranged, Li You arranged the secret whistle and hid in various locations one by one. After making complete preparations, Li You asked his generals to rest, but he was still wandering on the mountain.

This is the first night after the Jianshan battle, he can't sleep

The night is getting deeper and deeper

It's already late at night

Zhou Gang took twenty soldiers and quietly touched the mountain. Although there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, the night was hazy. The terrain on the mountain road was steep and densely covered with woods. It was difficult to see the people on the mountain road clearly.

"General, if we touch this trip, we can go all the troops tonight and defeat the Jizhou army hiding on the mountain in one fell swoop."

A soldier lowered his voice and said excitedly

Zhou Gang was also full of expectations but said, "Give me some caution, no big mistake."

The group gradually went up and the more they were getting nervous, the more nervous they became

Get closer to the daytime battle

Sometimes even step on the body of the dead soldiers during the day, it was very uncomfortable. Zhou Gang suddenly stopped and turned around and looked at the soldiers under his command and ordered again: "Be careful, be careful. This is the most critical time when it can succeed. It depends on this time."

All the soldiers nodded with high morale

Zhou Gang took the lead and continued to move upwards

"Puff"

With a muffled sound, Zhou Gang suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his feet and couldn't help but scream: "Ah."

The screams broke the silence of the night

Just now, Zhou Gang stepped on the caltrop. The caltrop was extremely sharp and easily pierced the sole of the shoe. The soldiers next to Zhou Gang were heeled. Because they had not stopped, they also walked forward. Some soldiers were hit and screamed.

However, there is no movement on the mountain

No soldiers fought back, no soldiers spoke, no torches illuminated...

Everything is weird

Zhou Gang stood with one foot and pressed his hand on a soldier to stabilize his body. Then he raised his feet and looked at the bloody soles of his feet. He saw clearly the corners of his mouth twitching after the iron caltrops nailed to the foot board.

He looked up at the mountain and said secretly: "You are cruel."

A soldier said, "General, we make a sound, but there is no movement on the mountain, I'm afraid there are traps waiting for us to do not go up."

"Yes, if we go up, we may be hit."

"This dark and dirty night is not suitable for touching it quietly, so let's remove it."

The soldiers were afraid

Zhou Gang was seriously injured and couldn't climb up again and said, "Go back first and then make a decision." At this time, Zhou Gang couldn't control his guarantee in front of Shizhu. It's important to save his life, especially blood flowing out of the soles of his feet. Zhou Gang always felt uncomfortable and led people to retreat.

The crowd quietly retreated back

Li Youde's message from the soldiers who were secretly stalking, chuckled twice, these people who wanted to climb the mountain quietly were so stupid that they actually climbed up the road.

Zhou Gang went down the mountain and faced Shizhu and said ashamed: "The last general is incompetent and asks the general to punish him."

Shi Zhu sighed when he saw Zhou Gang's miserable situation: "The generals of Jizhou Army have a very good defense. It's quite difficult to attack at night. Don't have to attack anymore. Wait until the other three armies arrive before discussing."

Zhou Gang endured the pain and retreated back to the army to recuperate his wounds

This night passed quietly

The next morning, the golden morning glow rose from the east. The golden morning glow burst out from the horizon. The army of the stone pillars of the heaven and earth did not launch an attack, but was stationed at the foot of the mountain to block the way Li You left.

Three armies appeared on the east, west and south sides of the Sun and Zhongtianjian Mountain.

These three armies are Tian Kai's army

Tian Kai set up a pocket formation in Xiyangting and laid a look around the army. He planned to encircle and destroy the army sent by Taishici in one fell swoop.

Li You's army was trapped in Jianshan and all the troops arrived.
