In the temporary palace in Kuaiji Mountain, Ying Zheng was sitting alone on the throne, and a black shadow appeared beside him in vain, that is, Tie Ying.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to Kuaiji County to mobilize reinforcements. They will arrive within two days."

Um!

Ying Zheng nodded, but asked: "Have you really found out clearly that there are tens of thousands of thieves?"

"It's absolutely true. Thousands of people are surrounding the mountain. Thousands of people are gathering in Langya. They all have unknown weapons. They are all watching with eager eyes."

"How courageous are you? Are you determined to capture me? Do you know who the leader of the bandit is?" Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp and his voice was low.

"According to my preliminary investigation, the leader of the culprit is Mr. Xiang, but it is difficult to investigate this person in detail." Tie Ying helplessly spread his hands.

Ying Zheng paced back and forth and asked sharply: "But the Xiang family of Chu State?"

"There is no movement in the Xiang family, so it is difficult to investigate. Moreover, this person's whereabouts are mysterious and difficult to trace."

"No matter what, let me investigate this person thoroughly and he will be captured and come to see me."

"No!" Tie Ying bowed and was about to leave, but Ying Zheng stopped him and said, "Follow my order and continue to dispatch troops from Wudi counties to suppress the bandits."

Tie Ying accepted the order, but muttered.

"What else?"

Tie Ying cupped his hands and hesitated before saying, "I have already mobilized ten thousand soldiers from Kuaiji, and with Li Shaonei's magical powers, I may not need to mobilize any more troops."

"Do you think Li Zhao can deal with the thousands of people at the foot of the mountain? This is just my strategy to slow down the troops. One hundred soldiers can fight against thousands of people. Even if Li Zhao's hundred soldiers are the elite of the Tiger Division, they will not be able to defeat him!"

Tie Ying also nodded after hearing this. Indeed, it was a fool's errand to think of using a hundred people to deal with thousands of people, unless Li Zhao had a powerful weapon like that day, but he knew that the powerful weapon could no longer be used.

"I hope he can resist for two days and wait for rescue." Ying Zheng prayed, looking down, clasping his hands together, and then he became cautious and solemn.

"Moreover, Langya is dangerous and bandits are vicious, so we must guard against them."

"This" Tie Ying was stunned and suggested, "Your Majesty can change the patrol route to the south, join the southern border guards, and catch the bandits by surprise."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and did not allow Tie Ying to say any more. The eastward patrol is an act to scare the remaining evildoers and cannot be changed. This is one of them, and the other is the path to seek immortality!

Xu Fu once said that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou, where immortals live. Penglai is on the eastward patrol road and must pass through Langya.

He couldn't miss the chance to be an immortal.

Seeing His Majesty's resolute look, Tie Ying said no more, raised his hand and agreed, "Promise!" before bowing and retreating.

At this time, Ying Zheng sighed, raised his voice again, and emphasized: "Of course, you must send swordsmen to protect Li Zhao from danger, otherwise you are the only one to ask."

This was already the second time the emperor had asked him to do this. Tie Ying responded with "Promise", bowed and left quickly.

At the foot of the mountain, a man dressed as a farmer stared into the distance. His eyes focused on the mountain. He saw the shadows of the trees swaying. He was very puzzled, so he sent people to explore. The spies reported that the Qin army cut down the number of bamboos, but their intention was unknown.

"Well!" The man frowned and locked his eyes tightly. A man with a crown of jade next to him came over, patted his shoulder, and said calmly: "Master Chen Sheng, why are you frowning? We have wiped out three thousand enemies, and there are a few on the mountain.

The Qin army is just a dying grasshopper that can be easily pinched."

"Zifang Military Advisor is very impressive. I am just a farmer. I am favored by Mr. Xiang and was recruited here. I have never seen such a scene before, and I can't help but feel anxious." Chen Sheng said, hiding his face so that he would not be so embarrassed.

The man is Chen Sheng, and the man with a face like a crown jade is Zhang Liang.

"You are a humble man. Duke Xiang trusts you so much, so he knows your talent. The Qin army is just struggling to the death, but..."

"The Art of War says that the use of troops depends on 'one'. The troops should be concentrated and the actions should be unified to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Have you ever thought about it?" Zhang Liang pointed out with a smile.

"Concentrate the troops and unite the actions?" Chen Sheng thought about the crucial sentence and couldn't help but slap the tree. "This is a wonderful statement from the military advisor! This is how troops should be used."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Chen Sheng wanted to leave, but Zhang Liang immediately stopped him and said, "Master, don't be anxious. We'll leave when it gets dark."

"That's right, that's right!" Chen Sheng smiled and made arrangements to go.

Zhang Liang looked back and looked at the swaying trees below. He came up with a plan and called his deputies to arrange it like this.

The setting sun shone all over the branches, and after a while, darkness enveloped the sky and the earth. I could only hear the roar of the wind and the thin ropes of the trees. It was a quiet night, but it was the night of the storm.

That night!

The deputy walked into the tent and saw Zhang Liangzheng holding a porcelain cup and taking a sip, seemingly very leisurely.

"The military advisor is so happy! He seems to have a good idea about this battle." The deputy knows how to flatter.

Zhang Liang waved his hand and asked without saying much, "What is the specific situation? Can we find out?"

"We have found out clearly that the Qin army has not come down from the mountain. Instead, a young man came with a hundred guards and was moving in a menacing manner."

"Boy? A hundred guardsmen?" Zhang Liang laughed, and rolled his eyes, very puzzled, "Can you find out who the boy is?"

The deputy did not hide anything, gritted his teeth and said: "The person who destroyed my nest in the Caga Mountain Village is named Li Zhao."

"Is it him?" Zhang Liang was shocked, took a deep breath, filled the porcelain cup, and drank it in one gulp. "Does it have a big killer weapon?" Zhang Liang shuddered when he thought of the big killer weapon that day.

The deputy pondered for a moment and said: "Young man Li Zhao does not have a cylindrical killing weapon, but one hundred guards all carry packages on their backs, just like before. I guess they are package killing weapons."

Hearing that there was no big killer weapon, Zhang Liang's head relaxed and he finally breathed out.

It wouldn't matter if it was just a murder weapon wrapped in it. The reason why he was tricked at first was because he didn't know it was a murder weapon. Now that he knows it, it is impossible to think that he would be fooled. What's more, today is different from the past. He also has a murder weapon in his hand. Mr. Xiang

given.

"Should we tell Master Chen Sheng to be on guard?" The deputy thought that Chen Sheng was preparing to attack Li Zhao head-on, but he didn't know that he had a package-killing weapon in his hand.

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes and gave the deputy a strange and fierce look. The deputy's heart convulsed and he immediately fell silent.

He knew that Zhang Liang's plan could be used as a bait by anyone. Obviously, Chen Sheng became the bait.

"According to plan, tonight is the time for us to take revenge on Mount Saga."

"promise!"

For a moment, the two of them laughed.

"By the way, can you find out why they cut down the bamboo trees?" Zhang Liang suddenly thought of this question and turned to ask.

The deputy cupped his hand and said playfully: "The younger one has investigated clearly. They cut down the bamboo trees and built strange things. It seems to be a trap?"

"Trap? Is it a life cage?" Zhang Liang guessed.

"Hmm, it's probably a life cage. My people saw them digging holes."

Zhang Liang smiled slyly and took a sip of tea, "Life cage? Imitate my skills? Hehe! It seems that he underestimated Chen Sheng, and he didn't know that I would be here, what an ignorant boy!"

"The Life Cage is indeed a good way to ambush, but with a fire blunderbuss in hand, their efforts will be in vain."

Then the two of them laughed again.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the mountains are shrouded in mist. Under the illumination of the night light, the mist rises.

Chen Sheng gathered hundreds of people, each carrying a killing weapon, and moved quietly up the mountain. There was no fire on both sides, but "click-click" sounds could be heard from time to time, like a big bird flapping its wings after being frightened.

Halfway up the mountain, upper side.

Some people stand at a high place and keep their eyes open, taking in everything going on around them.

The night is very quiet, as if filtered by smoke and smoke, it becomes pure.

Puff puff, gurgling!

Suddenly, a large bird was frightened and flew away, making a frightened sound, then spread its wings and flew away, leaving a dangerous place below.

"The thieves are coming! A hundred meters away from the angle, aim in the direction and light the fire."

In the autumn night, someone shouted. Instantly, a few flames lit up, igniting the fuse and making a "chichi" sound.

Under the bright light, there is a strange thing, a long bamboo pole with wooden branches on the side. From a distance, it looks like a praying mantis bowing its head, majestic.

"cast!"

As soon as the sound came out, a dozen strange things stuck on the lower side of the mountainside were activated by a dozen soldiers. The shiny lead was picked up by an invisible package, drew a parabola in the air, and fell hard downwards.

.

The scene was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, extremely bright and truly a plaything in the night.

However, all the soldiers above know that it looks like a plaything, but it is a deadly weapon.

Sure enough, when the lead wire fell to the ground with flames, it rolled on the ground, and then turned into flames that filled the sky and spread out.

Rumble! Rumble!

Dozens of loud noises.

The sound is deafening, covering the whole world.

A hundred meters below, the sloping mountain road was covered in flames and shaken by loud noises.

"What is this? Ah." The screams came out one after another, which was frightening, but no one knew what it was.

If it weren't for the cover of night and if the firelight could continue, it would have been a tragic scene.

In the midst of the tragedy, someone screamed.

"What? What? Where does it come from? Brothers, there is a scam here, retreat quickly." Suddenly, there were hurried and chaotic sounds at the bottom of the mountain, trees fell down, and grass and trees flew everywhere.

"Want to leave?" Black Tiger's eyes penetrated the night like an eagle, "Adjust the throwing range to 150 meters, and make sure they never come back."

"promise!"

The soldiers took action again.

If you want to ask what this strange thing is, it is a simple speculation machine made by Li Zhao.

Based on the principle of leverage, Li Zhao took advantage of the terrain to create an object that could throw explosive packets from a distance. This object was made of bamboo and could be adjusted for distance. It was much stronger than manual throwing.

Even if the bandit is a hundred meters away at the moment, he can still hit him accurately.

Soon, another dozen or so bright fires streaked across the sky and were thrown a hundred meters away, where there were all panicked footsteps and the sound of being tripped over thorns.

Boom again!

The sound of explosions was heard, surrounded by mountains, and frightened many flying birds.

Ahhhh!

The screams came again, this time with horror and helplessness, covering the entire mountain forest.

"Sword out, kill!"

The sword is specially equipped for the guards.

Black Tiger raised his sword, took the lead, and led a dozen people to kill fiercely.

"Pick up the gravel and throw it down hard!" After Black Tiger left, Li Zhao walked out, looked at the mountainside on both sides, and ordered in a low voice as much as possible.

There was no preparation in advance for throwing gravel. A soldier was stunned when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Boss, why are you throwing gravel? The bandits are scared out of their wits. Wouldn't it be better if we just kill them?"

A smile quietly flashed across Li Zhao's face, but he did not explain. He said in a stern voice: "No need to ask more, just throw it quickly. The throwing range should be as wide and far as possible."

The soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly looked for stones on the ground and threw them down hard, making a "swishing" sound and startling many big birds.

"Immediately, enter the fortifications, squat in the stronghold, and aim your guns at the upper side of the mountainside." Li Zhao ordered, his voice almost inaudible. He immediately jumped into the fortifications, but he did not hold any weapons in his hands. He was very focused and still had some weapons in his hands.

Holding dozens of Qin half liang.

After throwing away the gravel, the soldiers fell into confusion again after being ordered by the leader. However, the leader said that obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty, so they did so without asking any questions.

But, is this or that?
