Two days later, Guo Song's soldiers brought Master Chunlei and several of his disciples to Dadou Bagou, and Guo Song personally came to greet them at the gate of the camp.
Chunlei Zhenren was about forty years old and as thin as a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
This Chun Lei Zhenren was none other than Lei Lingzi from Red Ape Palace, one of Zhang Lei's love rivals. He finally let Zhang Lei and Li Wenyu go.
Lei Lingzi is Li Sheng's half-brother, but he was born as a concubine and was taken to Kongtong Mountain by Master Mu. He is regarded as half of his apprentice. However, he could not endure the hardships of Qingxu Guan and only learned a few things from Master Mu.
After years of martial arts skills, he took refuge in the Red Monkey Palace.
After Guo Song showed his prowess in Chang'an, warlords from all over the country went to Kongtong Mountain to recruit people. Lei Lingzi defected to Zhu Tao and restored his common name Li Chunlei, which was also his real name.
In March last year, Zhu Tao secretly ordered Lei Lingzi to assassinate Tian Chengsi. Tian Chengsi was seriously injured and died soon after, but Zhu Tao wanted to kill Lei Lingzi to silence him. Lei Lingzi was seriously injured and fled all the way back to his hometown in Hexi.
He was seriously injured and asked Guo Song for help in desperation.
Guo Song cured his serious injury, and he stayed at Xuanwu Temple in Xiedan County to recuperate. Gradually, he lost interest in warlord fighting, so he simply stayed at Xuanwu Temple and became the temple's master, changing his name to Chunlei.
"Junior brother, are you looking for me?" Li Chunlei put his palms together and saluted.
Guo Song patted his arm and asked with a smile: "The injuries are completely healed!"
"I've been fine for a long time. I'm just afraid that I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time and my hands and feet are a bit rusty, so I might miss my junior brother's important event."
"I can't be mistaken, we will explain it in detail at the camp."
Guo Song took several of his masters and apprentices into the military camp.
At night, Guo Song and Li Chunlei appeared in the northeast corner of Tianshi City. They both changed into black clothes. Li Chunlei had a long sword on his back and a thin copper meteor hammer wrapped around his waist. Meteor hammers are common among Taoist priests in Kongtong Mountain.
He is a hidden weapon that he has practiced, but no one has mastered it as well as Li Chunlei. Moreover, his meteor hammer is different and has a hook on it.
Guo Song carried a black sword and a pair of bows and arrows on his back, and had four flying knives stuck in his legs. Guo Song laughed and said, "Let's have a test to see who gets there first!"
Li Chunlei chuckled, "I'll take the southeast corner!"
He floated to a big tree like a ghost, jumped up and disappeared into the woods. Maybe his martial arts skills were not as good as Guo Song's, but his light kung fu was so good that Guo Song was slightly inferior to him back then.
Using the cover of night, Guo Song quickly climbed up the mountainside and pressed his body tightly against the city wall. The city wall of Tianshi City was made of large stones and was relatively rough. It had sharp edges and corners on the outside, like rock climbing, and had strength.
He slowly climbed halfway up, turned to the easternmost side of the city, jumped onto the cliff, and climbed up the cliff. This is a characteristic of Tianshi City. Only three walls were built, and the easternmost wall was directly on the cliff. The bottom of the cliff
The cliff is like a mirror, with no starting point at all, but there are several large gaps six to seven feet above. Guo Song is now climbing up along the gaps.
The top of the city was full of soldiers, and it was impossible to cross the city. The only way was to climb to the top of the city, use the vines on the cliff for cover, then move across to the center of the city, and then slowly climb down.
A quarter of an hour later, Guo Song had moved to the center of the city. He clung to the stone wall, letting a cluster of vines cover his body, and looked down.
Below is a typical Tang-style building. Directly below is the official office, where the chief officials live. It has about two floors, with brackets and cornices, and is also covered with black tiles. There are warehouses on both sides of the official office, a military warehouse on the right, and grain and grass on the left.
and Qingshui Reservoir.
Then under the city on the north and south sides are the soldier barracks, which are also built close to the city wall, and in the middle is a broad martial arts field. The military cities built in the Tang Dynasty basically had this layout.
A thousand soldiers patrolled back and forth on the three walls of the north, south, and west, looking down warily. However, they did not notice the cliff on the east side. Guo Song slowly slid down, sliding two feet. He found a fulcrum with his right foot.
After a backflip, his body landed silently on the roof of the government office.
It was safe now. He was lying on the roof slope inside. As long as he didn't stand up, the soldiers on the wall couldn't see him at all.
Guo Song moved sideways like a crab and soon arrived at the roof of the grain and grass warehouse. At this time, he unexpectedly discovered that more than a dozen black tiles had been lifted off and a large hole appeared on the roof.
Needless to say, Li Chunlei had already entered before him. Guo Song cursed secretly and rolled directly into the big hole. His body fell into the room and landed on a pile of grain.
‘Shh!’ On the haystack not far away, Li Chunlei squatted on it like a grasshopper, looking at him proudly, with a smile on his face. Of course he was proud, this was the first time he defeated Guo Song.
Guo Song had no time to argue with him, and pointed to the right side. It was exactly the same as what the captain Chen Li had described. There were countless large water tanks neatly arranged, twenty rows horizontally and vertically, with a total of four hundred large tanks.
Filled with clean water.
The large iron door of the warehouse is tightly closed with two big locks. It must be opened by two people at the same time. The management is very strict, but the building itself has loopholes. This is a Tang Dynasty residential-style building. You can sneak in from the roof. Maybe the Tibetan army is not
I was worried that someone would be able to enter the city.
The two jumped to the ground at the same time, and each pulled out a short steel thorn from their waists. The front end of the steel thorn was prismatic and extremely sharp. As long as the force was rapid and violent, it could directly pierce a hole in the water tank at once without making too much noise.
The large tank will not break.
The water tank is indeed very large, four feet high, and the mouth of the tank is three feet in diameter. If the water tank is smashed directly, the sound will be too loud and will be heard by the defenders outside. However, with a steel thorn, there will only be a slight sound and the bottom will be broken.
Poke a hole and the water will drain out quickly.
The two of them started working at the same time, using steel thorns to poke a hole in the bottom of each water tank. They moved very quickly, and the clear water gurgled out and flowed down the rock crack in the corner of the wall.
It only took half an hour for the two of them to meet in the middle. Guo Song poked more than 260 jars, more than a hundred more than Li Chunlei. Li Chunlei pointed to the big hole in the roof. The implication was that the two of them had a fight.
A tie.
The water was still flowing away, and the two of them did not leave in a hurry. They each lay down on the hay pile to rest. Guo Song asked: "I never understood, why didn't you go to your brother?"
Li Chunlei sighed, "When I left Qingxu Temple, our brothers fell out. He told me that our brothers went their own ways and he was no longer my brother from now on."
"How long have you been saying this?"
"Twenty-five years have passed, but I feel like it was yesterday. I was still a fifteen-year-old boy at that time, but in the blink of an eye I was already forty years old."
"You won't spend the rest of your life in Xuanwu Temple!
"Maybe one day I will kill Zhu Tao. He owes me his life, but I will go back to Kongtong Mountain first. Senior Brother has invited me several times."
"Elder brother has been looking for you?" Guo Song sat up suddenly.
Li Chunlei nodded, "His Taoist temple lacked a junior disciple with strong martial arts skills, so he asked me to teach him as a disciple. In fact, I wanted to stay by the master's side. The only thing I'm sorry for in my life is his old man. I betrayed him and left.
But he told me that as long as I am willing to come back, I will always be his disciple. When I received the letter from Senior Brother at the beginning of the year, I knew that it was time for me to go back."
After saying that, Li Chunlei's eyes turned a little red. Only in his forties did he slowly realize his willfulness as a boy and began to regret that he had betrayed his master.
Guo Song was afraid of his arm and said, "Go back! Senior Brother is alone in Kongtong Mountain. It is indeed a bit lonely."
He sat up and looked at the water tank. The water had run out. Guo Song smiled and said, "It's time for us to go!"
“Do you want to light this haystack?”
Guo Song shook his head, "They can't take away these grains and fodder. In the end, they will belong to us."
The two of them jumped up to the roof one after another. Guo Song suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a roar. He opened his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at the big lantern above the city wall. The rope broke, and the huge lantern fell from a height of several feet in the air, hitting it heavily.
On the top of the city, the Tibetan soldiers on the top of the city were in chaos.
"Good archery skills!"
Li Chunlei praised him. He drew out his long sword, ran for a few steps, jumped onto the roof of the government office, and jumped again. The meteor hammer accurately hooked a convex rock on the cliff. With the help of his body, he was like a flying fairy from the sky.
They floated towards the city wall in the same way. This light skill made Guo Song feel ashamed.
Guo Song ran fast and jumped onto the city wall with his last leap. Although he was not as dashing as Li Chunlei, his speed was not slow at all. He climbed onto the city wall almost at the same time as him. Four cold lights flashed, and four Tubo soldiers who were rushing towards him were killed.
The flying knife hit his throat and he fell heavily.
The two men charged into the crowd, like tigers and sheep, killing dozens of people in a row. The two men turned around and ran back. At this time, dozens of arrows whizzed from their backs. The two were on guard and rolled past.
The Tibetan soldiers were unable to dodge, and they screamed in agony after being hit by arrows.
The Tibetan general shouted angrily: "No shooting, surround them!"
The two of them fought from the north city wall to the south city wall and back again. There were more and more Tibetan soldiers, and they were unable to kill them. They bought the Tang army below a quarter of an hour. Guo Song shouted, "Let's go!"
The two of them jumped onto the battlements and jumped out of the city. Both of them had practiced cliff jumping in Kongtong Mountain. Guo Song rushed down the narrow supply path, but Li Chunlei used a meteor hammer to hook a person in mid-air.
The body swayed from a tree branch and landed gently on the big tree a few feet away.
When Guo Song rolled to the ground in a bit of embarrassment, Li Chunlei easily jumped down from the big tree and said with a smile: "How about I teach you a move to fly from heaven, so you won't be in such a mess."
"Brother, just stay in our army! I won't need to take action in the future."
Li Chunlei chuckled, "I won't care about the rest, I'll take my leave!"
He jumped up and disappeared into the night.
Guo Song knew he couldn't keep him, so he took out a dynamite, stretched his bow and shot into the sky.
The arrow made a long sound in the air.
After a moment, Zhao Xiu led dozens of soldiers and ran over. Guo Song got on his horse and asked, "Where are the others?"
"The messengers have all passed according to the planned plan. General Kang moved the rocks into a passage and led a thousand heavy armored infantry to go there first. General Miao also led the heavy crossbowmen to go there, as well as General Li Bing's 3,000 cavalry.
We have passed, General Luo Daxiao is in the north."
As soon as Guo Song urged his horse to run north, his calf was dripping with blood. When he jumped down, his calf was scratched by a sharp stone.
