There was a loud bang and thick smoke filled the scene.
The crowd was running around, and then there was another boom, and several more booms.
The huge movement and billowing smoke scared Zhang Yu to the point where he lay on the ground and did not dare to move for a long time.
From time to time, there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the thick smoke, which meant someone was injured.
After the thick smoke had almost cleared, Zhang Yu got up from the ground and lit a torch.
Seeing him lighting the torch, everyone else got up one after another.
The scene at this time made Zhang Yu a bit stunned. To describe it in one word, it was miserable.
Two words to describe it are too miserable.
Four or five people were lying on the ground motionless, and three or four people were standing, but their faces were dark.
There were two other people lying on the ground, wailing constantly.
Even Xiaojiu, who reacted very quickly, was injured in his arm and was bleeding continuously.
Zhang Yu quickly called for people to treat the injured, while he himself came forward to observe carefully.
The mines were buried in the cracks of the rocks, and the gravel flew out, leaving a deep pit.
Of course he was puzzled by something beyond his knowledge. He squatted here and hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Fortunately, there is no such thing in the woods, otherwise we may be in danger."
At this time, Zhang Yu only lamented that he had a lucky escape, and did not even have the courage to find out who had set off the double kick here just now.
At this time in the dogwood forest, Chen Xiaobei clearly saw the two kickers.
Like a boot falling to the ground, Chen Xiaobei couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
Apparently other people saw this too.
Prince Xiao Jingyun was even more surprised, "Chen Aiqing, what's going on with those two lights?"
Chen Xiaobei sighed, "That's the message from my villagers. I'm afraid we lost on that steep slope, which means our retreat has been cut off."
"What?" Ma Biao immediately felt nervous. Prince Xiao Jingyun didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but he, Ma Biao, knew it clearly.
"No way, according to the prior plan, Butler Liu Celiu should stay there to guard the place."
But Chen Xiaobei knew very well in his heart, what would happen even if Liu Rumei stayed? Everyone makes mistakes, and Ma Biao didn't know the situation at the scene.
Chen Xiaobei could only avoid the important and take the easy, "Commander Ma, don't worry, we will go up the mountain first tomorrow and we will discuss it when we come down."
…
Liu Rumei got the news of the fall of the steep slope at dawn.
This news made her feel a little guilty. It would be better if Liu Ce was given more manpower and if she stayed to guard it herself.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. It has already happened, so what’s the use of thinking about it anymore.
At this time, Zhou Quan beside him couldn't help it anymore, "Miss Liu, let's go back quickly and take back the steep slope first, otherwise His Royal Highness will not be able to go down."
However, Liu Rumei shook her head slightly, "No, Prince, we can reach the top today, and we have to go down tomorrow night. Even if we get it back today, there will still be one day, there are too many variables."
"We still hold on to the chain bridge according to the original plan, and first ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come back from there."
At this time, Zhou Quan had no better choice but to obey Liu Rumei's arrangement.
At this time, Prince Xiao Jingyun, accompanied by Chen Xiaobei and Ma Biao, had already reached the top of Qingniu Mountain.
Ma Xiaoyi looked at the map and pointed out the longan, body and dragon head on the mountain to Xiao Jingyun one by one.
After Xiao Jingyun read it, he nodded repeatedly, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, the bells and souls of Qingniu Mountain are so beautiful, it is indeed a fairyland on earth, a blessed place in heaven."
Chen Xiaobei pointed to the location of the dragon's eye and said to Xiao Jingyun, "That's the place where the dragon's eye is. Sima Wushuang, the personal bodyguard of the original kingdom, and Jueding Taoist have both been there."
Xiao Jingyun became interested upon hearing this, "In that case, how about we take a look after we get down from the mountain?"
In fact, Chen Xiaobei also wanted to go there. After all, rainbows had appeared there several times, and according to Sima Wushuang, there was a pool there and many big birds.
According to Sima Wushuang's description, the bird was probably a swan.
It has to be said to be a miracle that a swan can find a clear spring in the mountains.
At this time, the Lotus Leader also received the news that Zhang Yu and others had taken control of the steep slope.
This made her overjoyed.
As soon as his large group of troops arrived today and stood firm on the steep slope, Xiao Jingyun couldn't fly out of Qingniu Mountain even if he put on his wings.
At noon, Xiao Jingyun went down to the tiesuo bridge to join forces with Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei also reported the news of the fall of the steep slope.
But what surprised her was that Xiao Jingyun was not worried at all, and his expression did not even change at all. He just said lightly, "I already knew about this last night."
What?
Liu Rumei looked at Ma Biao and then Chen Xiaobei with a surprised look.
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to explain the situation where he arranged for people to monitor him.
After hearing this, Liu Rumei felt a little secret admiration for Chen Xiaobei. At the same time, she was also keenly aware that this method of delivering news was much more efficient than what she knew so far.
After going down the mountain, you must ask Chen Xiaobei for advice.
At this time Zhou Quan spoke, "Your Highness, there is a group of thieves following us, and the steep slope has been occupied by them. I'm afraid we won't be able to get down the mountain."
Xiao Jingyun was very calm and pointed forward.
"Let's go ahead first and see the longan area before we talk."
At this moment, Liu Rumei's expression straightened, and she bowed to Xiao Jingyun and said, "Your Highness, why don't we get rid of the twenty people behind you first, lest their whereabouts are always known to them."
Jamel Xiao frowned, thought for a while and nodded slightly.
"That's fine." After saying this, he turned to look at Chen Xiaobei.
"Chen Aiqing, where do you think is the right place to set an ambush?"
Where is the best place to set up an ambush? Chen Xiaobei pointed to the cable bridge.
"Of course the most suitable place to set up an ambush is here."
"After they pass, a few people will guard the bridge and we can trap them there."
Jamel Xiao nodded.
"But how can we lure them there?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly.
"We are all here. Who will give up going to the top of the mountain to take a look? As long as we go down the mountain with great fanfare, they will definitely cross the chain bridge."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Xiao Jingyun and Liu Rumei looked at each other, and the two of them smiled.
Chen Xiaobei's thoughts coincided with Liu Rumei's thoughts, and the reason why Xiao Jingyun smiled was because he sincerely admired Chen Xiaobei, who was calm and able to come up with appropriate responses when faced with problems. This was not exactly the person he needed.
?
"Well, as Chen Aiqing said, let's go down the mountain now."
According to the discussion of the three, Ma Biao led Ma Xiaoyi and others to ambush nearby.
Chen Xiaobei left Chen Dayong and Chen Daqiang behind, and as soon as the other party crossed the chain bridge, he would immediately plant two landmines at the head of the bridge.
Although the two landmines have limited lethality, the most important thing is to deter the enemy. As long as they step on the landmine once, I believe they will not have the courage to do it a second time.
