In the darkness, Li Dingguo held a telescope in his hand and watched nervously as the old man walked step by step towards the cave where the Red Barbarian cannon was hidden, his heart tightly.n∈

There is no free lunch in the world, nor is there any silver to be delivered for free. The old man picked up the silver, which was actually a design by Li Dingguo. He originally designed to put the silver on the road for him to pick it up, or slaughter him directly, and sent someone to replace him. But after thinking about it carefully, the old man was always dazzled and his vision was not good in the dark night. If he couldn't see it, he would be in vain. In addition, if he found a strange face to give him a midnight snack, he was afraid that the personal soldiers would also have suspicion.

After thinking about it, Li Dingguo decided to use this trick to drop money under his nose. Unexpectedly, the effect was really good, and the old guy didn't doubt it.

This set of Qing army's armor was useless along the way. Unexpectedly, it was really ridiculous to deceive an old chef. However, the more we went to the top of the mountain, the more relaxed the defense, and even soldiers fell asleep on the post.

This kind of thing is rare in the Sichuan Army, but it is not a big deal in Hong Chengchou's team. In ancient times, soldiers were replaced at a high rate, and some were forced to catch strong men. Their qualities were uneven. After all, you could not require all soldiers to be elite soldiers.

Li Dingguo could see clearly that when the old guy was humming a song in front, there were two ghost-like subordinates behind him. They were preparing to act and quietly followed behind the old guy.

"Who?" The old guy just approached the cave where the red cannon was placed, and the shouts of soldiers came from the soldiers.

"It's me, old man, thank you for your hard work, the midnight snack is coming." After saying that, the old man took two steps and let his old face appear under the fire.

After confirming that it was the old guy who gave the midnight snack, the personal soldiers suddenly relaxed. Someone put away his weapons and said with a smile: "Old guy, what delicious food should I bring today?"

"It's two quarters of an hour late tonight, old man. Where are you going to have a happy and romantic life?"

"Happy and romantic? Just the old guy is so stinky. His pocket is cleaner than his face. Where is there a woman close to him? Maybe he is drugging us."

These guys couldn't spit out ivory from their dog's mouths, and the old guy pretended to be angry: "Yes, yes, yes, I put sweat medicine in the hot soup and meat and vegetables, just to turn the medicine over. You'd better not eat or drink, leave it for me."

Is there a hot soup?

The eyes of the guards suddenly became eager. The army prohibited alcohol and hot soup became the best drink to keep warm and the most popular midnight snack. I am used to playing with the old guys on weekdays. Everyone gathered around, and they could eat and drink one bowl at a time. For the old guys, everyone filtered it out.

The weather is cold, the sea is high, and the mountain wind is strong. The old man's skills are pretty good, and it's so cool to drink a sip of hot soup.

Just as everyone was scrambling to drink soup, the old guy took out a plate of late-night snacks from the food box and put them in place. He turned around and greeted: "My gentlemen, you can enjoy it."

"Bang"

"Ba, bha..."

One by one, the guards fell to the ground, and the guard closest to the old man pointed at the old man and said gritting his teeth: "Old man, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a "bang".

With a "bang", no one fell to the ground this time because the guards present had already fallen down. This time, the spoon in the old man's hand fell to the ground. The spoon in his hand fell to the ground. He really couldn't understand why these soldiers fell down after drinking the soup he made?

Is this a hell?

With a "pop", the old guy suddenly covered his throat with his hands and fell down with unwillingness. Just as he was about to scream, there was a long, slender blue needle on his throat.

After the old guy fell down, Li Dingguo patted a subordinate beside him who was fiddling with the blow tube and made an admirable gesture. Just now, his subordinate used the blow tube to quietly hit the old guy's throat with a long needle stained with poison, which was fatal.

Finally cleared the obstacles, Li Dingguo made a signal to eliminate the roots. Soon, dark shadows came out of the grass and the woods. Under a command from Li Dingguo, these "ghosts" hidden in the darkness became impermanent who demanded life. They pulled out daggers and began to finish the attacks on Hong Chengchou's personal guards who fell to the ground, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one in the heart to ensure that there was no living slaughter.

These personal guards are different from the old fireheads who fell down. They just got sweat pills and fainted for a while. In order to prevent the waking of these people during the explosion or escape, it is safest to make them dead.

Treating the enemy with kindness means treating oneself cruelty. Li Dingguo knows this truth well.

Seeing his subordinates cleaning up the mess, Li Dingguo felt infinitely in his heart: Although he arrived here safely, he had made a lot of effort. From observing and confirming the goal, he spent so much effort. He discussed it many times in the middle and rejected more than ten plans. Even if he acted, he would not be able to do it overnight. He encountered danger several times in the middle. Fortunately, he had been through safely, but who knows the difficulties?

Lie on the ground motionless, the cold was bone-broken, and the premature insects bite snakes without saying a word. Many people were red and swollen. In addition, there was water in the ditch. Few people could understand what it felt like to soak in water in winter. When they were in action at night, many people's skin was soaked white and loose. Although they took secret anti-cold pills before the action, two of them had poor physical condition and were still frozen to death.

But they were frozen to death, and they died in the cold without saying a word. When Li Dingguo left, they found that when they died, they were still holding the hilt of the knife tightly in their hands, looking like they were trying their best.

If it were normal, Li Dingguo would have to cry a few times and arrange his funeral for his subordinates, but now he is in the process of carrying out the mission, so he can only regret it and leave them here for the time being.

"General, everything is ready." Just when Li Dingguo was still missing his subordinates, his subordinates came to report.

Killing thirty or fifty unconscious enemies, then putting grenades into the huge cannon barrel is really easy. Dozens of people completed the above two steps in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Have you dealt with it all?" Li Dingguo asked.

“It’s all handled.”

Li Dingguo nodded: "Let the second team put down the rope immediately and prepare to retreat."

"Yes, General," the subordinate finished speaking, and then whispered: General, there is something small that I don't know if I should say it."

"Say" Li Dingguo responded simply and directly.

The man licked his lips and said, "General, here is forbidden land, so we are safe for the time being. Now that the red cannons have fallen into our hands, the brothers have found the shells they store. The fire of cannons is a piece of cake for us. Why don't we set a few cannons at the coach camp and bomb them again? This will also give a good breath for the dead brothers."

There are cannons, bullets, and some people are in hand. When the enemy is caught off guard, the lethality is absolutely shocking. Even if you think about it, you will be very excited. As long as you succeed, you will be a topic of pride in the future. This is a huge temptation. However, after just thinking for a moment, Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Hong Chengchou led his troops out, and he was not in the camp. Without this big fish, there is no meaning for others. Everything is put safety first and act according to the original plan. Team 2 connects the ropes and sets them up, and the first team sets obstacles, and acts immediately."

If the traitor Hong Chengchou is in the camp, it is definitely worth fighting. However, the Qing army was beaten by Zhang Rui in the deep mountains and ran away with his head, so he had to transfer Hong Chengchou to help. Because Hong Chengchou is not there, this provided a lot of convenience to Li Dingguo, but it was precisely because of his absence that he escaped.

I don’t know if this is Li Dingguo’s luck or Hong Chengchou’s fate.

As for laying the ropes, it was the escape route designed by Li Dingguo early in the morning. Because the west side of Dingjun Mountain was very steep, like a cliff, and no one could climb up. It was precisely because the Qing army's defense in the west was also the weakest. Li Dingguo asked every soldier to carry a bundle of thick ropes and connect them inside, hang down from the mountain, and escape from the place where the Qing army would not think of the most.

As long as you go down the mountain, the Nighthawk will prepare horses early at the foot of the mountain, whip up the horse, escape from the enemy's encirclement as quickly as possible, and get away from the impunity.

"Yes, general." The subordinate was just a small suggestion, and the decision was in the hands of Li Dingguo. Once Li Dingguo made a decision, he could only faithfully implement it.

This is the military order.

In less than two quarters of an hour, two men in black walked up to Li Dingguo and reported that they had completed their tasks. Li Dingguo did not speak, and came to the three red cannons and gently touched the shiny and thick cannon body. His eyes were a little reluctant. For a soldier, nothing was more attractive than a good weapon. He obviously grabbed three very precious red cannons, but he could not transport them away, so he could only blow them up.

It's a bit of a pity.

In fact, the Red Cannon was about one meter long and weighed more than two tons. This was a giant in ancient times, and Li Dingguo just got it away with powerlessness.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Dingguo quickly walked out of his regret and lit three half-inch-long incense sticks with his own hands, connecting the tail end to the lead. This is the "timer" discovered by Lu Haoshan. Once the incense burns to the tail, it will ignite the lead, thereby blowing up these three red barbarian cannons that are very harmful to the Sichuan Army.

"Retreat!" After doing all this, Li Dingguo ordered softly.

At the command, a group of soldiers took out cowhide gloves specially used for ziplines and slid down the rope one by one. As the main general, Li Dingguo insisted that he was the last one. When Li Dingguo slipped down about two-thirds, he rumbling.... The rumbling was first a huge explosion, and then a series of explosions sounded one after another. It was estimated that the artillery shells piled by Li Dingguo and others were detonating when the bomb was exploded. The huge explosion made people feel like the earth was shaken, and the huge Dingjun Mountain was about to collapse.
