The mountain road is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is only a bumpy mountain road in the middle. When people walk on the mountain road, they will feel the illusion that the mountains on both sides gather together, so it is called the mountain road. This road is located a hundred miles outside Pingzhou City. Due to the dangerous terrain and inconvenient passage, it has never been a major road to enter and exit Pingzhou. Moreover, this ridge is deserted and has almost no vegetation. When the wind blows, it will be windy and sand all over the sky, becoming increasingly dangerous, and it is rarely visited. However, if you want to pass through Pingzhou and reach the north of the desert, this mountain road is the shortest and safest.

"Safe?" Gu Hongxuan asked, "Did it be based on your experience in Pingzhou?"

"That was when I came to Pingzhou to recruit soldiers in the name of the general, and I also took the opportunity to walk around Pingzhou. The mountain road was led by the locals in Pingzhou last time. This area was rarely visited, with remote location and no one to defend, and the terrain was a shortcut to the north of the desert." Xuan Shaoning explained while standing outside the mountain road.

"The one stationed in Pingzhou is the main force of the Tang Dynasty Army, and we must pass quickly." Zhang Hanshan said, while he looked at the weather analysis and said: "The sky has been gray since yesterday. It seems that the wind is about to rise today. At that time, the wind and sand will be greatly detrimental to our army's march."

Although Yang Zhong's injuries eased, his face was still bloodless. At this time, he was the supreme commander of this army, and all military orders had to be issued by him. At this moment, the army was ten miles outside Luanrong Road, at least from the naked eye that they did not see any enemy. The opportunity could not be delayed anymore. If you take a detour, not only would the time double but the risk would be higher. Finally, Yang Zhong made the order to pass Luanrong Road.

When we arrived in front of us, the mountain road was really clear, and the name was really appropriate. The yellow rocks should have been connected into one, like a giant who reached the sky raised his giant sword and split the path, leading straight to the front. Over the years, this mountain still maintained its original appearance, with no green at all, and its eyes were full of yellow-brown. After watching it for a long time, I felt tired.

The remaining ones outside the hundred people brought by Zhang Hanshan were from the former Guangyuan Army, Gu Hongxuan's Wugong Guard and Jiang Xiaoyu's Tenglong Guard. The mountains were full of narrow roads, and Yang Zhong and Jiang Xiaoyu were seriously injured. So Zhang Hanshan offered to take his men to fight the front, and Wugong Guard was responsible for cutting off the rear.

The army of 20,000 people said that it was not too much or too little. After entering the mountain road, it reduced to two teams in parallel. It immediately lengthened the team a lot. When we walked along the road, we could hear the sound of wind passing through the mountain road, and our eyes could see the cliffs on both sides. The sound of horse hooves seemed particularly clear and even harsh in the mountain road. It was just 20,000 people. The sound that came out sounded like there were 100,000 troops.

The road is too depressing. Looking up, I only see a ray of sky. After looking up, I feel the mountains on both sides squeeze each other. I will immediately feel a sense of surprise in my heart. I will retract my gaze and look at the narrow mountain road in front of me. The surprise will gradually evolve into fear. No one walking in the road did not speak, and he even dared to breathe at will, for fear that his little mistake would bring immeasurable consequences to the army.

Zhang Hanshan was walking in the front, and he controlled the speed of the entire army. He could neither rush the horse nor whip it slowly. It was still quite difficult to grasp the speed. Behind him were Xuan Shaoning and Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and they stared at the front together.

What they long for is to see the exit as soon as possible and leave Luanlun Road as soon as possible to get rid of the depression that is pressing on their bodies as soon as possible.

I don’t know how long I have been walking, but one thing that is certain is that after the entire army had entered Luanrong Road, Zhang Hanshan suddenly found that two black things were hanging in the air not far ahead. Zhang Hanshan raised his arm high and began to slow down in an orderly manner from behind him.

"You two come with me to see!"

Three people rode fast horses to the front of the hanging foreign objects and looked up and saw that they were two black iron cages. The mountains on both sides were embedded with steel columns as thick as someone's arms. These two cages were hung on the steel columns. The cage was five feet away from the ground. It was difficult for people to see clearly what was locked in the cage in the mountain road.

"Be careful, retreat!" Zhang Hanshan led the two of them to slowly retreat, and at the same time, Xuan Shaoning made a gesture to stop the army from advancing.

"There seems to be living things in the cage!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan's eyes gradually became bloodshot. He stared at the two cages without moving. After a while, a wave of mountains scraped past and the cage began to shake. Shi Gong Zhengyuan suddenly said, "It's a human!"

The words blurted out, and one of the cages stretched out a hand, holding the iron rod of the cage tightly. Now Zhang Hanshan and Xuan Shaoning also saw it clearly. They immediately realized that there was danger in the Luanquan Road! At the same time, Shi Gong Zhengyuan looked at the hills on both sides, and it was still as quiet as ever. There was no sound except for the sound of the wind, but his intuition told him that there must be danger here, and the cage would not appear halfway through for no reason.

"Commander?" Xuan Shaoning asked.

"I can't control so much, let the army pass quickly immediately!"

Before the quick pass gesture was fully displayed, the three of them heard a whimper in the cage. With the sound, the cage began to sway left and right. This was obviously for people. After all, the wind could only push the cage to shake back and forth in the ridge-covered road.

Xuan Shaoning looked up and saw a dirty head poking out from one of the cages, with her hair scattered in front of her face, but Xuan Shaoning recognized the person as soon as possible.

"Mr. Teng? Is that you, Master. Teng?"

The man nodded first and then shook his head, but Xuan Shaoning had already confirmed that this person was Teng Hui, the former prefect of Pingzhou Prefecture. The last time he saw him was recruiting soldiers, he helped him. The danger consciousness fell into the trap was immediately filled with Xuan Shaoning's mind.

"Commander, we are ambushed!" Xuan Shaoning pointed to the cage and said, "The one in the cage is Teng Hui, the prefect of Pingzhou. Someone must have placed him here. Our whereabouts have been exposed!"

Zhang Hanshan heard the first half clearly but could not hear the second half clearly, because at this moment the violent wind sounded like ghosts and howls of wolves, completely covering up all the sounds of the world.

Yang Zhong was in the army. Although he did not follow the three of them, their distance was not far away. When Yang Zhong saw the iron cage, he also realized the danger and made the same preparations, hoping to let the army pass through the mountain road quickly. However, after the whistling wind, his military order was not issued at all, and another accident had already happened.

Huge stones began to roll down from the hills on both sides. Any stone needed to be surrounded by several people. The force of hitting people after falling from a high place can be imagined. The entire army was crowded in the narrow mountain road, advancing and retreating.

There was no way and nowhere to hide. Many soldiers could only watch the rocks hitting them and were powerless. The neighing of war horses, the wailing of soldiers, and the blood splashing everywhere completely disrupted the originally orderly army.

"Go forward and pass as fast as possible!"

The highest military order was issued layer by layer, and the entire army began to march rapidly. Zhang Hanshan took the lead in rushing forward. When he crossed the cage, Xuan Shaoning looked at Teng Hui with the last look. He felt guilty suddenly in his heart, but at the same time, Xuan Shaoning began to guess who would be the other cage?

After riding a horse over the bottom of the iron cage, Xuan Shaoning turned around and saw Teng Hui shook his head and shook the cage with all his might. His expression was indescribable horror. He must have something to warn them, but why didn't he speak? What is the danger he wanted to warn? Could it be?

Xuan Shaoning looked at the iron cage that was passing by Jiang Xiaoyu and Yang Zhongmen. He flashed his mind and immediately shouted, "Be careful of the cage above his head!"

Fortunately, this sentence came into Yang Zhong's ears. When he looked up to look at the cage, the cage cracked at the same time. They jumped out of it and attacked Yang Zhong and Jiang Xiaoyu respectively. It was precisely with Xuan Shaoning's reminder that Yang Zhong did not directly fight with the sudden enemy but hid sideways on the abdomen of the war horse. Just as his body was hanging under the war horse, a blade had already scraped past, and the war horse neighed, leaving a wound on the horse's back, and the main horse's skin was cut off.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu again, the person who jumped down was spinning, and two blades blew like a tornado. Jiang Xiaoyu reacted half a beat slower and had nowhere to hide. He could only wrap the chain of locks on his arms to resist the attack. Between the sword and sword shadows, Jiang Xiaoyu fell from the horse's back, and a bloody color was sprinkled.

No! Jiang Xiaoyu was dismissed. Without the enemy's attack, the war horses following him could trample him into meat paste! Xuan Shaoning turned his horse's head to rescue him. He saw that the two sneak attackers seemed to have completed their mission and jumped to the mountain walls on both sides and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain. If you look closely, you will find that the two of them have thin silk tied to their backs, and golden light is reflected in the faint light.

Golden silk, and golden silk! It was the Tang people who attacked us. Judging from their skills, would there be some of the two people just now...

"Shaoning!" Zhang Hanshan roared, holding him over and forcibly turning his horse's head, "The mountain road is so narrow, once you turn back, the troops behind will be blocked even more! Don't say anything, escaping from the Luanlong Road alive is the military order you want to implement!"

"Commander, I thought the enemy was driving us away! Judging from the stones falling from the hill, there were not many falling in the middle of the army, and the stones at the tail of the army were obviously dense. This means that the enemy hoped that we would escape towards the only way out, so they would wait for the rabbit!" Xuan Shaoning explained while pointing at the falling rock behind.
