On the ninth day of the fifth month, the sun shone brightly, and the first shell landed accurately on the Lock level on the Turkic front line.

As its name suggests, the Lock Level has been continuously open from the gate. One faces the Jiujiang River and the other side leads Luoheng Mountain. If the attacker takes the land route, he will be limited by the length and width, and his troops will be greatly reduced! If he takes the water route, the Jiujiang River Basin is wide, and there is only an iron-locked wooden bridge between the other side. If he flies with flesh and blood, countless casualties will be killed or injured...

Today is May 12th, just night, but this night is no different from daytime. How can there be a difference between day and night under the war?

Zhuge Sansheng pinched his eyebrows in the military camp, facing the current situation of the sand table, his head was heartbroken. Lin Fan lifted the curtain and held a bowl of clear soup in his hand.

"When I came here, I passed by a small hill. The green plums were well-behaved. Today I can turn back to pick the sour plum soup I cooked for you to refresh my mind. Do you want to try it?"

She put the soup bowl in front of Zhuge Sansheng, but Zhuge Sansheng didn't look at it at all, and just said a few words softly: "Okay, okay." Then she fell into deep thought again. She sighed softly, rubbed her shoulders and back and said: "You haven't closed your eyes for three days, and you don't have a few bites of the food you sent... How can you resist this?"

Zhuge Sansheng closed his eyes and took a break for a while and said, "I am used to it. I will rest when I am tired. Don't worry about me."

Lin Fan complained: "How can I not worry? If you don't sleep, I can't sleep either!"

Zhuge Sansheng picked up the sour plum soup, took a sip, and asked, "Lin'er, your sour plum soup is really sour and refreshing..."

Lin Fanshun sat down next to him, looked at the battle situation in front of him for a long time, and asked, "I was afraid of disturbing you before, so I didn't ask. Now I want to know what you are thinking about? Why don't you say it out and I'll help you find a way."

Zhuge Sansheng knew that Lin Fan's head was smart, so he said bluntly: "Shuola Pass is dangerous and extremely important. It is the first pass for the northwest Phoenix Army to open the battle situation. It can be seen that the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is bombarded with artillery for three days, it has no effect." He sighed again: "Although the three-day attack is not long, the northwest route and the southwest route must share the battle situation, and victory must be complementary. If the Phoenix Army does not break the pass for a day, the Baiyun Army's burden will be regained, and Sola Pass is the exit of the wasteland area. When the military news comes, General Yuchi Zhang leads 30,000 Baiyun Army to advance from the right wing. They must be waiting for the Phoenix Army to break through the pass at the mouth of the wolf smoke and wind and sand... So I am very anxious about this matter."

After saying this, Lin Fan frowned, stared at the sand table and analyzed: "The rocks and soft water do not use artillery bombing, so he simply stopped the artillery and launched three routes by infantry. One way to go, one way to the water route, one way to the mountain road, and one way to cross the mountain and take a detour to attack. Do you want to try it?"

Zhuge Sansheng shook his head and said, "I know this plan you said, but the level is really special. The cavalry does not advance, the infantry's legs are short, the cannon carriages are difficult to push, and the arrow slaves cannot shoot out any name. The only way is to use the team to fight as the main force, and the main force is the auxiliary," he said, "General Huo led the main force to attack from the mountain road, and wrote that the general also led the team to go around Luoheng Mountain to the enemy's back. However, the most annoying convenience is the iron lock flying over Jiujiang...who will go?"

Lin Fan frowned and pouted, hugging Zhuge Sansheng: "You are not allowed to go!"

Zhuge Sansheng caressed her head and said in full: "Lin'er, I originally thought that the war in the northwest would be easier than in the southwest, but I didn't expect that there were too few good generals in Phoenix City. If the scholars need to lift their swords at all times, they can also come on the field to kill the enemy."

"I don't want you to go anyway! Where can you go? Although you have great skills, killing enemies on the field is not just a fight for a few people. It is a battle between thousands of people. If you are not careful, you will die..." She insisted on urging Zhuge Sansheng not to let go, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. Even if you want to go, I will still be with you!"

At this moment, several burly men in black clothes raised the curtain and entered. The head man had a wide body, but his eyes were as smiling as a crescent moon.

"Mr. Song?" Zhuge Sansheng saw the fat man at a glance.

Several people uncovered their masks, and the person in charge was Song Zheng. The people behind them were not in a state of disgust. They were the killers trained by Xie Yuan secretly. At this moment, it was a time when people were short of people, and the people who came to vote for their fame were solved.

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Jiu Master has long guessed that there are not many good generals in Phoenix City, so he sent me and a few brothers to help the battle - is it time for me?"

Zhuge Sansheng suddenly became energetic and hurried up to greet him enthusiastically: "I was worried about grabbing the iron lock, but I didn't expect that there were so many experts from the world, and the Sola Pass was about to be broken!"

Song Zheng pulled a young man from behind several people. His thick eyebrows and starry eyes were born free and easy, and he bowed and recommended himself: "Survey the dust and explore the bright moon, pick the stars with one hand, and then wandered around the world, and laughed and proud of the gangster tonight. In the children's travel, children are children who are innocent and innocent, and are traveling around the world. Have you ever seen Lord Zhuge?"

Zhuge Sansheng replied, "You are kind to you, we are all our brothers. If you don't bother, just call me the third brother, and I will also sound more pleasant."

Tong You smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, it's just a family. I studied under the 'Yiqing Taoist' Xiaoyaozi. Have you heard of the third brother?"

Zhuge Sansheng said in surprise: "Oh? My father had asked Xiaoyaozi for learning during his lifetime. Senior Xiaoyao is half of his father's teacher... Then, if I count the seniority like this, I will call you "Uncle Tong?"

Tong You laughed and said, "Haha, I don't dare to take it or not. Lord Zhuge and Lord Yan are brothers. If I become your elder, wouldn't I have to ride the Lord Yan? No, I'm afraid he is very good! So, let's call him brothers."

Song Zheng said at this time: "Children travel thousands of miles, and they can pick the sun, moon and stars. Their light skills have reached the state of superb level. It is all a little bit of a dragonfly crossing the rivers!" Tong You also patted his chest and said: "Mr. Song said that I am not humble! Crossing Jiujiang, the opening and closing of the gate will be included in me! Let's set off tonight, and the lock gate will be broken tomorrow at dawn!"

Zhuge Sansheng was very happy and shouted: "Okay! I will give you the power to the generals. All the troops in the army can be dispatched at will. Let's see your abilities tonight!"

Tong You loosened his muscles and bones, twisted his neck, and greeted him: "Let's go!", and he took a arrogant look and led a few people out of the tent.

Song Zhengluo was at the end, and he chatted with Zhuge Sansheng for a few more words before saying goodbye, but Lin Fan, who had not spoken for a long time, was

He grabbed him and said urgently: "Mr. Song, I have no way to disturb you before discussing military affairs. At this moment, I just want to ask, does Hongdou come with you?"

Song Zheng frowned and said helplessly: "After the military talisman was stolen, the whole city was opened for martial law, and the Peacock Tower guarded all the passes out of the city. You saw us masked and disguised, but the Red Bean Girl secretly sent us out of the city as the owner of the Peacock Tower."

"Ah? With Dongfang Qianxun's personality, if I knew that Hongdou would release you privately... let alone that she was Yan Qing's wife who had not passed away," she became more and more worried as she spoke, and she pulled Zhuge Sansheng and said, "What should I do? I'm so afraid that Hongdou will be in danger..."

Song Zheng was even more ashamed: "I should blame me for this. My duty was to take good care of the Hongdou girl, but I came to the military camp for my own reasons. Oh... If the Hongdou girl had any danger, how could I explain to the city lord?"

The atmosphere was a little nervous for a while. Zhuge Sansheng sat back on the chair and choked his eyebrows, and said to Song Zheng first: "Don't think so much about it. Your task at this moment is to help the Phoenix Army seize the pass and prepare for the war first." Song Zheng responded and could only leave regretfully. He hugged Lin Fan and comforted softly: "Don't worry, even if Dongfang Qianxun uses the Red Bean Girl as a bargaining chip, he will treat and care well. Besides, there is Lao Jiu in the city. He will definitely try his best to protect the safety of the Red Bean Girl, so don't worry."

"What would you do if someone threatens you with red beans?" Lin Fan asked again.

Zhuge Sansheng asked with a smile: "Why don't you say that someone threatens me with you, what will I do?"

Lin Fan asked, "What would you do if someone threatened you with me?"

Zhuge Sansheng smiled knowingly and said lightly: "Don't want a beautiful woman."

...

The fire was about to stop in the second half of the night, and the wind was calm above Jiujiang. As the name suggests, the iron chain bridge was only pulled up by several iron locks with bowls of beams. Ten were spared. Each one was one foot apart, and three bridges were erected, less than two feet apart. Originally, there were wooden boards on the bridge, but in order to facilitate the guarding of the checkpoint, the Turks lifted the wooden boards away, leaving only a few bare iron locks, let alone the terrifying turbulence on the lower head. If one falls down accidentally, he will definitely die!

Tong You cooperated with Song Zheng, and fifty elite soldiers were hiding on the other side at this moment. They each had two three-meter wooden boards, and they looked like they were preparing to build bridges.

Tong You told me: "Mr. Song, I will go there alone later and extinguish the lights on the other side first. Then you will take the opportunity to build a bridge! The soldiers who built the bridge will step on the iron locks to restrain the enemy and do not let them use artillery - remember, don't use it too carefully to build a bridge, just be able to get it!"

Song Zheng said, "Brother Tong, the Turkic people opposite are very sharp. I am not worried about your ability. I am afraid that there will be any accidents and it will be difficult for you to deal with them. Why don't I go with you?"

Tong You smiled and said, "Don't joke, Lord Song, aren't your body a living target?" As he said that, he quietly stood up and said, "Putting the bridge while the chaos is the key to victory. Don't forget that they dare not step on the bridge to meet the enemy!"

After saying that, his body was like a black shadow melting into the darkness, and the wind was like a feather under his feet. A figure could not even capture the light and shadow - he actually jumped into the river!
