Wang Liang led his men to attack the Red Eyebrow Army on the top of the mountain.
There is no road leading to the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, and the only way to reach the top is by climbing. Wang Liang gave his subordinates a death order to attack the top of the mountain no matter what, and completely eliminate the Red Eyebrow Army on the top of the mountain.
The soldiers of the Han army took off their armor, and many of them went into battle shirtless and climbed up the mountain wall. Naturally, the Red Eyebrow Army on the top of the mountain would not sit still and wait for death. On the top of the mountain, there was not much else, only rocks.
The Red Eyebrow Army used stones as weapons and smashed them down desperately. The Han Army attacking the top of the mountain was hit by falling rocks from time to time, and people fell down halfway down the mountainside screaming.
The Han army struggled to climb for nearly two hours, but not only failed to reach the top of the mountain, but suffered heavy casualties.
The battle was not going well on Wang Liang's side, so Jia Fu, Li Tong, and Fu An also came to Wang Liang one after another to discuss how to successfully attack the top of the mountain.
Finally, Fu An came up with an idea and climbed up in stages.
Our side first sends soldiers who are good at climbing and are strong and agile. When they climb to a height of four or five feet, they will find a node and fix the rope. Then, by analogy, every four or five feet, they will find a node and fix the rope.
.
In this way, our own soldiers have ropes as assistance, which not only facilitates climbing, but also allows them to dodge falling rocks above their heads, and their physical strength is also guaranteed during the climb.
Fu An's opinion was immediately unanimously agreed by Jia Fu, Wang Liang, Li Tong and others.
Jia Fu sent many benminglang as the first batch of people to fix the ropes.
According to the method Fu An came up with, the Han army's attack finally took off, but it was still very difficult to attack the top of the mountain.
The two sides fought from day to night. It was not until midnight that the Han army finally attacked the top of the mountain and started a close hand-to-hand combat with the Red Eyebrow Army on the top of the mountain.
The Red Eyebrow Army on the top of the mountain is not large in number, only about 1,800 people.
They guarded the top of the mountain and threw stones downwards, which could unleash powerful lethality. But now that the Han army came up and the two sides engaged in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, these red-browed troops became vulnerable.
As a large number of Han soldiers continued to climb to the top of the mountain, the Red Eyebrow Army gradually couldn't resist and was forced to retreat again and again. Many people were collided by the Han Army and fell directly from the top of the mountain.
After more than half of them were killed or wounded, the remaining Red Eyebrow Army lost the fighting spirit to resist and all surrendered to the Han Army.
After interrogating the prisoners of the Red Eyebrow Army, the Han army found out that there was a very secret cave on the wall of the mountain. The entrance was not big, and there were convex rocks blocking it. It was difficult to be discovered, but inside the cave
The space is not small.
The reason why Han army spies did not discover their existence was because they were hiding in that cave. After the inquiring Han army scouts withdrew, they quietly climbed out of the cave and climbed to the top of the mountain.
When the large group of Han troops passed through the valley, they first pushed down the boulders and cut off the valley, and then focused on attacking the second half of the Han army where Liu Xiu was.
After listening to the stories of the prisoners of the Red Eyebrow Army, Jia Fu, Wang Liang, Li Tong, Fu An and others were all very anxious. They still knew nothing about His Majesty's condition.
Jia Fu ordered that all the captured red eyebrow troops be executed, and then they led a large group of troops to retreat through the Digou Valley.
When Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others withdrew, it was already late at night. The battle between Liu Xiu and other Han troops and the Red Eyebrow Army had already ended. Many corpses of Han troops and Red Eyebrow Army could be seen at the scene.
People followed the corpses and found them in the woods. There were more corpses here, almost covering a large area of woods. From this, it is not difficult to see how tragic the battle that took place here was.
After seeing the situation in the woods, Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others immediately ordered to search the woods and find His Majesty no matter what. A living person must be seen and a dead body must be found.
With the arrival of Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others, this usually inaccessible forest became more lively.
Among them were the Han troops who had been dispersed, and the Red Eyebrow Army who was searching for Liu Xiu everywhere. Now there were Han troops from Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others. The people were like headless flies, scurrying around in the forest.
Channel.
Soon, a group of Han soldiers sent by Wang Liang came back. At the same time, they also brought back two soldiers of our own who were all wounded.
They were both survivors of the battle in the woods yesterday. When they saw Jia Fu, Wang Liang and others, they were surprised, happy, sad and angry, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Who is still in the mood to listen to the two of them howling? Jia Fu stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't cry! How can a man of seven feet be crying and crying?!"
The two Han soldiers were so scolded by Jia Fu that they shrunk their necks and became silent. Wang Liang pulled Jia Fu, and then asked the two soldiers pleasantly: "What happened here yesterday? You two guys?"
Tell me in detail."
These two soldiers of the Han army were both soldiers of Xiuwu County. They recounted what happened yesterday in detail.
After listening to what they said, everyone present frowned. Jia Fu couldn't wait to ask: "Where is your Majesty? Where is your Majesty now?"
The two soldiers shook their heads together and said: "The situation at that time was too critical and too chaotic. I...we ran away from His Majesty, and...I don't know where Your Majesty is now. But one thing I can be sure of is that Your Majesty...Your Majesty
He was not harmed by the bandits, but they are still searching for His Majesty in the woods!"
His words made everyone present feel a little relieved.
Wang Liang looked at Jia Fu, Li Tong, and Fu An, and whispered: "In such a large forest, if Your Majesty deliberately hides it, it will be difficult for the Red Eyebrow Army to find it. I think Your Majesty is safe for the time being."
Fu An frowned and said: "No matter what, your Majesty is in a very dangerous situation right now. We must find your Majesty as soon as possible!"
Everyone nodded in unison. His Majesty is fine now, but it does not mean that he will not be captured by the Red Eyebrow Army. In short, they must rush in front of the Red Eyebrow Army to find His Majesty.
This time, Jia Fu, Wang Liang, Li Tong, Fu An and others did not wait any longer. They spread out and led their own soldiers to join the search for Liu Xiu.
Let's talk about Liu Xiu. He and Xu Xiling were walking towards the Digou Valley. However, as they walked, they couldn't tell which direction the Digou Valley was in. Now Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling were walking forward completely based on their intuition.
.
By noon, the two of them didn't know exactly where they had walked. Anyway, they were surrounded by dense woods.
Seeing Xu Xiling's pace getting slower and slower, his breathing getting heavier and heavier, and his face turning red, Liu Xiu said, "Xiling, let's stop and take a rest!"
"Okay!" Xu Xiling agreed, unable to hold on anymore, and sat down leaning on the tree trunk. In fact, she was too tired to walk, but she didn't want to be a burden to Liu Xiu, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Liu Xiu sat down next to her, took out two wild fruits from her arms, and handed them to Xu Xiling. Xu Xiling was very hungry now, but when she saw the wild fruits, she had no appetite at all. Instead, she kept refluxing acid in her stomach.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu took out two more wild fruits, stuffed one into his mouth, and chewed it.
He said: "In the beginning, Wang Lang had just proclaimed himself emperor in Handan and placed a reward of 100,000 households on my head. We hid here and there to avoid pursuit. I remember one time, I had not eaten for three days and was so hungry that I gave birth to a child.
After a serious illness, Gongsun finally took out a handful of beans from the slit of his clothes and cooked me a bowl of bean porridge. Now that I think about it, it tastes really delicious!" At this point, he swallowed his saliva and put the other
He also stuffed a wild fruit into his mouth and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Liu Xiu can endure hardships because he has endured a lot of hardships. As the saying goes, when heaven assigns a great responsibility to a person, he must first suffer his will, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin...
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Xu Xiling looked at the two wild fruits in her hands, and it seemed that they were not so difficult to swallow. She followed Liu Xiu's example and stuffed a whole fruit into her mouth, closing her eyes.
, chewing vigorously.
Seeing her look like this, Liu Xiu felt funny and felt very guilty. He raised his hands, put his arms around Xu Xiling's shoulders, and hugged her into his arms.
Just at this time, Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling suddenly heard voices coming from the side. Due to the distance, they could not hear clearly what the other party said.
Realizing that someone was coming, Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling shuddered and looked around. There was no place to hide. Liu Xiu took a picture of Xu Xiling and raised his head again.
Xu Xiling understood immediately. Liu Xiu hugged her waist and lifted her up. Xu Xiling hugged the trunk of the tree, stepped on Liu Xiu's shoulders, and climbed up the tree. Liu Xiu followed closely and climbed up the tree.
The two of them climbed into the dense branches one after the other and lay down on the branches. Liu Xiu used the sheath of his sword to gently open the branches and looked down. He saw a group of people walking diagonally sideways.
There were about twenty people on the other side, most of them were wearing black clothes and black trousers, and only one person was wearing Tsing Yi. When Liu Xiu saw it, his heart tightened, Guan Ying!
The group of people who came were none other than Guan Ying and his men. One of the men in black walked beside Guan Ying and asked suspiciously: "Master, is Liu Xiu really in this area?"
Guan Ying shrugged. He was not 100% sure whether Liu Xiu would be in this area. He said: "Look at the soldiers who were killed. They did die under the Chixiao sword. The person who killed them,
It should be Liu Xiu, right."
The man in black looked around, then at the other men in black, and whispered: "Master, we have been searching all morning. I think everyone is tired. How about we stop and take a rest?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiling's body on the tree trembled slightly. Guan Ying and the others couldn't stop anywhere, so why did they stop here? Her shaking caused the branches to sway slightly, but it was not obvious, as if
A breeze blew by.
Liu Xiu turned to look at her, Xu Xiling secretly grinned, and stuck out the tip of her tongue at Liu Xiu half-coquettishly. Seeing her pink little tongue, Liu Xiu felt a sudden heat in her lower abdomen, and quickly looked away and continued to look down.
.
Guan Ying nodded to the man in black and said, "Okay, let's take a rest here!" Guan Ying is one of the four leaders of Si'a and one of the four instructors. Basically, all his subordinates are considered him.
's apprentice.
But those who can call him master are his direct disciples. As for other people, they can only call him leader.
After receiving Guan Ying's permission, the man in black was about to speak, but he saw something was wrong in Guan Ying's eyes.
At this time, Guan Ying was standing with his hands behind his hands, his eyes falling on the top of a tree not far away, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but a cold murderous aura was exuding from his body.
He said with a half-smile: "Some people think that their whereabouts are secret and cannot be found by others, but they don't know that they are already a turtle in a urn, unable to fly even if they have no wings!"
As he spoke, his arm shook violently, and the sword was already unsheathed. Then, he raised the hand holding the sword outward, and the sword flew away from his hand, and shot straight to the top of the tree.
