On the cliff, two specially made triangular wooden frames are like mechanical arms stretched in the air and fixed them to the rock with iron nails. There are iron rings at one end of the wooden frame, and wooden pulleys are hung in the iron rings. The rope passes through the pulleys and hangs down the rock wall into the valley.

Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde led a team of soldiers to wait here.

Several soldiers each pulled up the rope and began to pull it hard. The wooden pulley "crunched" and soon, a huge bamboo basket rose from under the cliff. Zhu Xiu stood in the bamboo basket, shaking the feather fan with one hand, holding the rope with the other, and tied a safety rope cover with both legs to the crotch and then to the waist.

When the bamboo basket was raised high, Zhu Xiu stood in the bamboo basket, hanging outside the cliff, and grinned calmly at Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde.

Another soldier pushed out the huge sampan that had been prepared and placed it at Zhu Xiu's feet. Zhu Xiu jumped out of the bamboo basket and landed on the sampan, and walked to the top of the cliff calmly.

Soon, under another triangular support frame, the gray donkey was also lifted up high.

The donkey was covered with ropes with four hooves, and seemed very excited about the lifting and falling at altitude, shouting loudly, "Hmm~ Hum~".

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�

Several soldiers hooked the rope with long pole hooks and pulled it closer to the cliff so that the donkey's four hooves could land steadily on the sampan.

The gray donkey walked to Zhu Xiu gracefully, and the donkey rubbed his head affectionately, as if he wanted to play the lifting and falling of the sky just now.

Zhu Xiu asked the soldier to untied the rope tied to the donkey, patted the donkey's head and smiled: "You stupid donkey should lose weight. If you broke the rope just now, it would turn into donkey meat sauce if you fell down."

The gray donkey gently bit Zhu Xiu's robe, and his big moist eyes showed a pleasing expression.

"Okay, I know you have made contributions. I will give you some beans today, go~" Zhu Xiu waved his hand in disgust and asked the soldiers to take the donkey down.

Chai Rong smiled and said, "You donkey is quite human."

Zhang Yongde said quietly: "Those who are close to the ink are black, and donkeys are quite rogue. They only have the best materials and don't take a look at ordinary materials."

Zhu Xiu curled his lips and cast a resentful look at Zhang Yongde, and Zhang Yongde naturally ignored it.

The soldiers dismantled the tripod, Chai Rong stood by the cliff, looked into the valley, and smiled and said, "Look, the Dangxiang people have indeed entered the valley."

Zhu Xiu sneered: "The people of Dangxiang do not believe in evil. I am accustomed to being mysterious. Instead, they think I am bluffing. After entering the valley, they will definitely make them unable to escape."

Zhang Yongde seemed to be somewhat emotional: "This valley does not have the conditions for ambushing troops, and the Dangxiang army is mostly cavalry. Once it is discovered that the momentum is wrong, it is extremely easy to evacuate. According to past experience, they can pass through the valley safely and soundly.

Unfortunately, they didn't expect that the so-called ambush would be a large number of thunderstorms..."

Chai Rong deeply agreed and said seriously: "This battle is worth learning from. It must be recorded in a book after the war. In the future, the sky-shaking thunder will be widely used on the battlefield, and the tactics and situations will also change accordingly!"

Zhu Xiu cast an admirational look at him. This spirit of keeping pace with the times and not sticking to inherent tactics and traditional experience is of great value to a commander of the three armies.

"Boom~bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

As he was speaking, a series of explosions came from the bottom of the valley, huge smoke rose up, mountains swayed and the earth shaking, and countless gravels cracked.

Zhu Xiu shook the feather fan and said with pain: "Most of those war horses are from Yuanzhou horse farms, and they are also their own things. I hope they don't hurt too much..."

~~~

In the valley, when Li Guangyan saw the exit in front of him, the long-bearded general ordered people to light the fire, he instinctively sensed the danger.

When Li Guangrui saw Pan Mei, he was extremely jealous and had a ferocious look on his face. This distance was just enough for the cavalry to charge, and he could reach the enemy in the blink of an eye.

Li Guangrui turned his head and wanted to get Li Guangyan to order an attack, but found that his face became solemn.

"Fifth Brother, you..." Before he finished speaking, the fire rope buried on both sides of the narrow valley burned quickly, making a "hiss" sound like a snake spitting out a letter.

Then there was a deafening explosion!

More than a thousand war horses neighed in panic, and the Dangxiang cavalry on the horse was overturned and fell to the ground.

The earth was shaking, and sand and stones fell from the steep rock walls on both sides. The smoke and dust were blurred with eyes. Explosions in the valley, horses neighed, and the panic roar of the Dangxiang soldiers intertwined.

The thunder buried on both sides of the valley were detonated one after another, and the cracked gravel tiles and iron beads collapsed everywhere, screaming endlessly.

Pan Mei led her troops to retreat outside the valley, holding crossbow arrows in high gear, and whenever Dangxiang soldiers fled out in panic, they would be shot and killed without mercy.

"It's all his fucking aiming and shooting again. If you shoot a man or not, those are all spoils. One horse is injured. The young envoy will feel distressed for a long time. Then he will yell at our old Pan~"

Pan Mei carried the Park Knife and looked at the valley filled with smoke and dust. A large number of Dangxiang people rushed out of the valley in panic. A rain of arrows came towards her and she fell down in screams.

"Fifth Brother Save me!" Li Guangrui was also overturned and dropped in an earth-shaking explosion. The choking dust raised into the sky made his vision seriously blocked, and he couldn't see clearly what was happening in the valley.

The sound of drums and shouts of killing sounded on both sides of the cliff. The panicked Dangxiang even thought that an enemy had fallen from the sky, but he drew his sword and slashed, but he ended up hurting his companions.

In the chaos, a large number of party soldiers were trampled on by war horses, pushed down and trampled by their own people, and even killed each other like crazy regardless of the enemy.

"Don't panic! Follow my orders and rush towards the south exit!" Li Guangyan roared with all hissing efforts, his face full of gray, and his forehead was cut by broken tiles. Blood flowed down and flowed into his eyes. He reached out to wipe it off, his face full of blood, and his expression was terrifying.

"Fifth Brother, run away! Thunder God is angry!" Li Guangrui's face was pale, and he didn't even bother to retrieve the lost iron spear in the chaos.

Li Guangyan pushed him away angrily, and couldn't help but curse: "Idiot! This is the new Han firearm, Black Fire Thunder! Don't talk nonsense and shake the morale of the army!"

Li Guangrui's ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear the sound of his speech. He just followed the fleeing Dangxiang soldiers to the south exit in panic.

Li Guangyan pulled him back and ordered several personal soldiers who followed him to protect him.

The Dangxiang Army divided into two groups, one fled to the south exit, and the other fled to the north exit when it was traveling.

Li Guangrui fled north under the protection of his personal soldiers, and Li Guangyan organized the Dangxiang army to rush south.

The explosion roar in the valley was heard several miles away. The Dangxiang infantry, who were on standby outside the valley, was shocked when they heard the noise. Under the leadership of Deputy General Jie Billy, hurried to the valley to reinforce.

Just as Jie Bili led the infantry into the valley to respond, Zhao Kuangyin led a cavalry to arrive in time, blocking the north entrance, and fighting with the Dangxiang people who were fighting desperately.

On the cliff, the soldiers lit bundles of half-tide branches and threw them into the valley. In an instant, thick black smoke rose from the valley.

Branches poured with tinder and flint powder can produce a lot of pungent and choking smoke, and the branches that are half-tide will not burn out soon, and the entire valley will be swallowed up in the rolling black smoke.

Zhu Xiu covered his mouth and nose and hid in the upper air outlet. These black smoke were harmful gases, and inhaling them into the lungs would damage the body. He did not dare to joke about his life.

Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde did not listen to the advice and stood by the cliff and watched the valley. They were choked and coughed, but they remained unabashed.

At the south entrance of the valley, Li Guangyan led the remaining Dangxiang troops to fight hard, which made him break through the arrow formation arranged by Pan Mei.

Pan Mei took a knife and competed with Li Guangyan for several rounds. The more she fought, the more she became more and more frightened. This young player Xiang of the Party was indeed brave and lived up to the reputation of the Shenwei Taibao.

"Damn it! Can't beat it! Withdraw~" Pan Mei forced Li Guangyan to retreat, turned over and led the army to roar and decisively lead the army to evacuate, as if she had given up the blockade of Nankou.

Li Guangyan was panting and did not pursue him. He looked at the bodies of the Dangxiang soldiers who were lying on the ground on all sides, gritted his teeth, gathered the remaining troops and walked on the small path at the foot of the mountain, and retreated towards the Hulu River.

This place is not far from Hulu River. As long as you escape to the riverside, your hope of survival will increase greatly.

Hundreds of Dangxiang soldiers were burned by the smoke and fire in the valley and were extremely thirsty. Li Guangyan led them to rush down the grass slope and ran to the river.

Dang Xiangbing cheered and howled like a disaster.

Li Guangyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the river.

Suddenly, he noticed that the terrain under the hillside was a bit strange, with large areas, like they were hollowed out, and were paved with dead grass and dry branches...

Li Guangyan was shocked and roared anxiously: "Come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dangxiang, who had only river water in his eyes, rushed too fast. When he rushed to the hillside, he suddenly stepped on the air and screamed and fell into the trench.

A hidden trench under the hillside swallowed nearly half of the Dangxiang soldiers.

A team of people rushed out of the forest by the river. Pan Mei returned and guarded the hillside. Park Dao pointed at Li Guangyan diagonally and laughed: "Children Dangxiang, surrender as soon as possible!"

Li Guangyan's eyes turned cold, and he clenched the spear with both hands, and he had a desperate ambition in his heart.

At the southern entrance, Zhao Kuangyin led his army to march from the north, cleared out the stubborn Dangxiang soldiers, and caught Li Guangrui who was trying to escape in the chaos.

"Li Guangyan, see who this is!" On the slope, Zhao Kuangyin put a geese sword on Li Guangrui's neck, sat high on the horse's back, and looked down from a high place.

"Fifth brother save me! I don't want to die! ~Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Li Guangyan gritted his teeth and wanted to scold Li Guangrui for being cowardly. Just fight to the death, what's the use of crying?

Unfortunately, he knew that even if he died in battle, Li Guangrui could not die, otherwise Li Yiyin would not let his tribe go.

My father, three brothers, and their relatives will be buried with Li Guangrui.

Zhu Xiu and Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde walked down the trail behind the mountain and came to the slope. Zhu Xiu shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Li Guangyan, if you are willing to surrender, you will both survive. I promise not to hurt you two with one finger! Otherwise, I will chop Li Guangrui's head first and then capture you alive!"

Zhao Kuangyin moved his wrist and the sharp knife cut the bloody mouth on Li Guangrui's neck. The tingling sensation almost scared him to pee his pants.

"Fifth Brother! Surrender! I don't want to die! Woooo~ Fifth Brother save me~" Li Guangrui burst into tears, his majestic body curled up together at this time, like a fat worm.

Li Guangyan glared at Zhu Xiu with his eyes spitting out of fire, gritting his teeth: "Do you keep your word?"

Zhu Xiu raised three fingers and said seriously: "I swear to the sky!"

Li Guangyan pointed to Dang Xiangbing who was trapped in the trench and said, "There are them."

Zhu Xiu said slowly: "The Zhangyi army has always treated prisoners with preferential treatment, and killing prisoners is not bad. I will only ask them to build roads, build bridges, dig ditches and clear wasteland, so that they will not kill them."

Li Guangyan took a deep breath, threw away the horse spear in his hand, stood up straight, staring at Zhu Xiu like a knife.

Pan Mei led people to pounce, pressed him to the ground, and tied him up.

All seven or eight hundred Dangxiang soldiers became prisoners.

Li Guangyan was taken to him. Zhu Xiu looked at him. This guy was only three or four years older than him, but he was half a taller. He was even taller than Li Chongjin, who looked like a black bear. Among the warriors he had seen, he was second only to Shi Xiangwen, the Giant Han Dynasty.

If I cut this guy with a knife now, wouldn’t it be that the ancestral vein of the future Xixia emperor?

Zhu Xiu had an idea in his mind and stared at Li Guangyan with a flashing look.

Li Guangyan glared at him fiercely without any fear.

Soon Zhu Xiu smiled secretly. Even if Li Guangyan is gone, if the Dangxiang people's luck will not diminish in the future, other heroes will still appear and lead the Dangxiang people to establish the country.
