MTL - Back Off, Let Me Come-Chapter 679 : A group of old six [two in one]

  Chapter 679 Chapter 679: A group of old six [two in one]

   Xingyang Road, Chaoli Pass.

  The coalition forces hung the headless corpses out for several days. The weather was bad these days, with exposure to the sun, rain and strong winds, but no one claimed them. Chaoli Gatekeeper received the report from the scouts, and wondered in his heart: "What are these people doing?"

  Why hang out a headless corpse for no reason?

  The account subordinate officer guessed: "Could it be to deter us?"

The guard at Chaoli Gate raised his face when he heard the words, and said with a sneer, "Who can this deterrent scare? Not to mention just hanging out a headless corpse, they just cleaned and skinned the corpse, and fried it into pieces. Let it hang out, there is nothing to be afraid of."

  The military division guarding the pass had different guesses: "Could it be that this action is suspected that this corpse was sent out by us?"

  The guard at Chaoli Pass was silent for a while.

  Ask the people below: "Did we send this person out?"

  Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

  A lot of scouts were sent out, but they were all to inquire about the military situation, survey the battlefield, and monitor the movement of the coalition forces, and did not go deep into the enemy's camp. Most of the scouts are brave warriors, and the corpse is obviously dressed as a scribe. If it was really their own people who were hung on the wall, they would have started arguing a long time ago, how could they only know about such a thing today?

  The guard at Chaoli Gate was puzzled.

  In the end, he didn't bother to laugh, and left the matter behind.

   Outside Chaoli Pass, dozens of miles away.

  Shen Tang climbed to the highest place near the camp of the coalition army and looked at Chaoli Pass from a distance. After watching for a long time, he always felt a little strange. Xun Ding led his men to follow, following the line of sight of the lord, there seemed to be a towering shadow on the distant horizon hidden behind the mist.

   "My lord, be careful where you step."

   Leaning forward again, the whole person will roll down the mountain.

  Shen Tang murmured: "It's strange..."

   Xun Ding asked with the tip of his ear, "What's so strange?"

Shen Tang pointed to the shadow in the distance: "That mountain range is continuous, but it seems incompatible with the gentle terrain of Yanzhou. How high is the small soil **** under our feet? If Yanzhou is compared to a human face, Chaoli Pass is as abrupt as it is. A pimple from a flare-up."

   And it's still an orderly connection of acne.

   Divide Yanzhou into two.

   Chaoli Pass is more like a heavenly man holding a sword and splitting it by a line.

   It doesn't seem to be formed naturally.

   Xun Ding asked back: "Is there?"

  Shen Tang ignored Daer.

  Looking directly past him, it fell on Xun Zhen who was accompanying him. Xun Zhen is well-informed and knowledgeable, so she is naturally much more reliable than her son.

He said: "Yanzhou has no natural dangers. This pass is precipitous and man-made. It is said that more than 150 years ago, there was a fief of Chehou of the 20th surname of Yan who was here. Lord. One day I took people out for hunting and saw that Yanzhou was vast and stable, so I lamented that this place was 'easy to attack and hard to defend'. Worried about the safety of my descendants, I artificially created a natural danger. The people nearby thought that the earth dragon would turn over, and they were terrified all night until dawn, before they came out. Seeing the continuous high mountains, covering the sky and the sun, the 20th-rank Chehou cut a line of sky from it with a shocking sword, and carved the word "Chaoli" on one side of the cliff. Looking at the masterpiece, he laughed, Go lightly."

   "Man-made? 20th class Chehou?"

   "It is said that this is the case, but there are many fabrications."

  Shen Tang asked him: "Where is the fabrication?"

Xun Zhen said faintly: "Such a magnificent and dangerous pass, the 20th-ranked Chehou is indeed capable of creating it, but even the 20th-ranked Chehou is just a mortal body, and his martial energy is not enough to support it in one go. Not to mention overnight, half a year It won't work either."

Having been with the lord for a long time, seeing her bright eyes, Xun Zhen knew what the other party was thinking: "It's not uncommon for there to be a man-made dangerous pass like Chaoli Pass. There are many places in the whole continent. But the inscription on Chaoli Pass , quite attractive."

  Some brave fighters will come here to observe and comprehend.

   It is said that there is still the remaining sword intent of the 20th class Chehou on it.

  Hope to learn three points from the traces left by the sages.

  Xun Zhen said this, and Shen Tang remembered something: "No wonder the map of the territory has to be redrawn every ten years."

Although not every brave fighter has the destructive power of the 20th-rank Chehou, but it can't stand the large number of people, frequent fights, and long fights. The original landform has been iteratively updated for more than two hundred years of war. back to...

   Xun Zhen smiled and said: "This is also one of the reasons."

  Shen Tang went down the small hill, and when he came back, he saw Tao Yan leading a group of troops back to the camp. What's subtle is that wherever the two met, they could see headless corpses hanging from the camp. Shen Tang asked, "Where did Tao Jun come back from?"

   Tao Yan said: "Check the front military."

  Shen Tang immediately said: "Tao Jun has worked hard."

   Tao Yan sat on the horse and took a closer look at Shen Tang's appearance. He didn't know what to think, and responded perfunctorily, saying that he had to leave in advance. On the way, I ran into Gu Chi who came out to "watch the scenery" - this is Gu Chi's new hobby in the past few days. He said it was in front of the gate of the camp. Watching the sunrise and sunset is particularly tragic and magnificent...

  However, Shen Tang knew that he just wanted to turn against his enemies.

  The two passed by each other.

  Shen Tang was worried that Tao Yan would suddenly explode at Gu Chi and slash him with a knife. Fortunately, this scene did not happen.

"The coalition army is more like a chicken thief than a chicken thief." Seeing the corpse hanging for so many days and no one paid attention to it, Shen Tang thought about it. No one believed that the corpse belonged to Zheng Qiao's side, and they were eager to cover the coffin. The conclusion is just afraid of trouble.

   Prepare to muddle through this matter.

   Just keep the surface calm.

  Shen Tang didn't care, but Tao Yan felt uncomfortable.

  Going in and out of the tent every day to see the dead body of his confidant being hung up, but he couldn’t jump out and take the charge, otherwise he would be an enemy of the entire coalition army—what’s the intention of sending someone to assassinate the leader of one side the first day? Tao Yan didn't dare to admit it, couldn't recognize it, and couldn't even take the risk to steal the corpse out. Coupled with the fact that everyone was making jokes, all he could do was hold back.

  He held back, but Gu Chi was happy.

Looking at the back of Tao Yan's disappearance, he sneered: "A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor fellow, so maybe no one in the coalition army knows that this is a tricky matter, but no one wants to make twists and turns at this juncture, so they can only feel wronged and wronged Tao Shen spoken."

   A few words to characterize the matter, and blame Zheng Qiao.

  Anyway, Zheng Qiao is bad enough, so he doesn't have to worry about having too many lice.

  Back to the camp, Shen Tang received the letter from Jiang Sheng.

  No other content, just say that it has been windy and foggy recently.

  Shen Tang knew what Jiang Sheng was worried about at a glance.

"Worried that Chaoli Gatekeeper will take the initiative to launch a sneak attack?" The group of sixth sons under Shen Tang's tent like to engage in night raids and raids. They are on their own and others, and they are also extra vigilant on the battlefield when the enemy suddenly stabs chrysanthemums in the middle of the night. She said, " OK, I'll go see the leader."

  Various storybook experiences told her that the more you worry about something happening, the easier it will happen, and don't delay, let alone say "tell the leader tomorrow". Because according to the routine, the enemy will come that night.

  It was noon.

  Huang Lie was very surprised to receive the news that Shen Tang asked to see him.

  Because the young sheriff has been the center of gossip in recent days, some people are bored and are guessing which scholar she is having an affair with. Rao Huang Lie, a reclusive person like him, was forced to listen to him. He didn't believe that the person concerned, Sheriff Shen, didn't know about it, but he was still running around. It was strange: "Mr. Shen paid a sudden visit, but what's the matter?"

  Shen Tang said: "There is a scholar in my tent who is good at observing the sky. He said that the enemy will move because of the thick fog and strong wind in the past few days."

  Huang Lie cheered up when he heard this.

   "Really? Can I see the gentleman?"

  Shen Tang said: "Naturally, Xiandeng is waiting outside the tent."

  Huang Lie: "..."

   The word Xiandeng was familiar to him.

  After Jiang Sheng entered the account, Huang Lie found that this face was also familiar.

   "I've seen Leader Huang."

  Huang Lie put away his expression: "Mr. Jiang has not seen for a long time. When I left Luxia County, Huang always missed my husband and was worried about his safety. I never thought that my husband would vote for the guard of Shen County..."

  Jiang Sheng said nothing.

  Huang Lie also realized that he was talking too much, so he turned the topic back on track: "Sir, did you say that the soldiers and horses at Chaoli Pass would attack at night?"

   "There is no shelter in the camp of the coalition army. Unlike Chaoli Pass, which has a dangerous pass and high mountains to rely on, if it encounters a night attack, it may be passive." Jiang Sheng is not a prophet, how can he give a positive answer? But the coalition forces do need to be on alert, just in case.

  Each family is fighting separately.

   Once the fog rises, will it still be a mess?

  Huang Lie also gave birth to a bit of attention.

   "This matter, Huang will send someone to inform everyone."

  Seeing that the news was conveyed properly, Shen Tang took Jiang Sheng away, and the latter said: "After all, it is a combined coalition force, not a whole. It's hard to say how many people will listen to it..."

  "...Isn't there such a good saying-the best way to save the coalition forces is to destroy them! If there is a night attack, the coalition forces will completely give up their mentality of fishing in troubled waters through the crisis. If we can't win this battle, everyone will die!"

  Jiang Sheng said he had never heard of it.

   But it does make some sense.

  As the military construction before the battle is coming to an end, the atmosphere before the battle is getting stronger and the soldiers and horses are mobilized frequently. Shen Tang ordered the night patrol under the account to expand the scope and frequency, and the handover order was changed from every three days to every two days, and she still did it as usual.

  For example, the previous sentence [the pier without chips], the next sentence followed by [meaningless], or [task can’t be completed] and [all have to die]. In short, the style of password painting is incompatible with the entire coalition army, but the secrecy performance is indeed top-notch.

   This point was personally certified by the soldiers and horses who attacked Chaoli Pass at night.

Chaoli Pass is one of the man-made dangerous passes. In the eyes of outsiders who are not familiar with it, the weather here is unpredictable, more fickle than a child's face, but few people know that there is a private warehouse in the pass, which stores daily weather records. Experienced The gatekeepers will have already figured out the rules. On the other hand, the location where the coalition camps are stationed is flat and unsheltered in all directions, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

  The advantage is that the enemy will be discovered immediately if they want to sneak attack. The disadvantage is that once the enemy's sneak attack takes shape, the impact will be great. The line-of-sight advantage of the coalition forces will disappear under the dense fog. Because the line of sight is blocked, the fog will become the best natural cover for the enemy. The guard of Chaoli Pass also knew the pressure of guarding the pass. Under the suggestion of the military division accompanying the army, the night attack was a blow to morale while the military project of the coalition forces had not yet been completely completed.

  Sneak attack is divided into three ways.

   All are relatively weak guards among the coalition forces.

  Shen Tang's camp is impressively listed.

   It's not that her family's camp is not stable, it's simply because she joined the camp the latest, the camp is relatively close to the side, and the nearby coalition allies are a few rookies. From the perspective of Chaoliguan people, a hole can be torn here!

  The last quarter moon, the moonlight is dark.

  It was dark and foggy.

   At that time, the sleepiness was thick, and there was a figure in the black mist.

   When we got closer, we realized that it was our own soldiers and horses.

  The two teams of soldiers and horses matched the password and handed over smoothly. The soldiers and horses of the squad patrolled "diligently", crossed a military obstacle area, and headed for the rear of the camp. The speed was very slow at first, just a leisurely stroll, but after a few breaths, an inconspicuous dark glow lit up on the human feet and the horse's legs, and the speed suddenly accelerated, as if they were about to melt into the fog, and drifted past like a piece of hazy blue smoke.

   It is less than fifty feet away from the camp.

The guards of the watchtower realized that there was an inconspicuous thing moving in the dark night. Before they could see what it was, there was a buzzing sound, a coldness on the forehead, and the warm blood flowing from the center of the brow poured into the eye sockets, sticking to the eyelids. He was unstable and fell forward, and his body fell from a height. In the short breath of the fall, he seemed to see something falling from the nearby watchtower.

   And after that...

  He vaguely saw the horse's hoof stepping in front of his eyes.

  Until the hands and feet were cold and completely lost consciousness.

at the same time-

   "The people in front stop and say the password."

   The group of people who were ordered no longer stepped forward.

  The patrol led the way to the last sentence of the exit order.

   “A dock without chips.”

  The headed person on the opposite side: "..."

   After a breath, the other party replied: "It's meaningless."

  The high-intensity and frequent patrols made the night patrol team a bit overwhelmed. They were really sleepy at the moment, and they were a little confused when they heard the next sentence of the password. They yawned and judged that the other party answered correctly.

  However, the yawn abruptly stopped halfway.

  The hairs on his back stood up.

  In an instant, the night watch team led the whole body sober.

  Why?

  Because this set of passwords was from the day before yesterday, the second half of the new password has been changed today, and the correct answer should be [I can’t attract Maou]! You can't get the password right, because even if your own people don't match it, people will die. In other words—

   Opposite is the enemy.

  In order not to startle the snake, she said: "Pass!"

   As he spoke, he waited for the other party to step forward and take over.

   When the distance got closer, I was shocked to find that it was a familiar face.

  At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

   Isn't it the enemy?

   Really mixed up the password?

  Do you want to let people go?

  The answer, of course, is no!

   Just when the two columns of troops were about to pass by each other, a light of martial energy flashed in the hands of the patrol leader, and a long halberd shot out like lightning, aiming directly at the head of the opposing team leader. As soon as she made a move, the rest of the soldiers also drew their swords and surrounded them.

Ding-

  The other party did not expect this to happen.

  But the instinct of a brave warrior allowed him to escape this blow.

   Immediately afterwards, the long halberd was recovered, and the side hook on the top of the long halberd was aimed at the vital point of his neck, so he had to lean back immediately, raised his hand and knocked it crookedly with the saber. I didn't care about when to expose it, so I could only kill this night patrol team, so as not to startle the snake. Unexpectedly, the person who made the shot was not simple, although his martial energy was weak, his skill was very handsome.

   "Shoot an arrow for help!"

  Although the enemy will not come out on a large scale, the scale of the night attack is not something their small soldiers can resist. At present, they can only delay as much as possible, and retreat while fighting, waiting for reinforcements. Of course, it is also possible that the reinforcements will not come.

  Yang Ying began to curse in her heart.

  What kind of bad luck is this? ? ?

   ()

   Secretly stuffing some private goods, Xiao Poqiu, come on and charge 4 billion!
