After leaving Tongguan, Liu Cheng and others rushed all the way to the army camp.
It was almost evening, and most of the people who were moving westward had already begun camping on the roadside to rest.
The decrease in pedestrians on the road made Liu Cheng and others speed up.
Speeded up a lot.
"Lord, it's getting dark.
Let's set up a few tents on the roadside to rest for the night.
Let's start again early tomorrow morning.
After dark, we can't see the road clearly, and it's easy to have problems."
Xun Yu rode forward on his horse.
Liu Cheng, who was running away, shouted loudly.
Liu Cheng heard what Xun Yu said made sense, not to mention whether he would encounter an enemy ambush.
There were always people rushing on the road at night from time to time.
It would be bad if he bumped into someone.
Moreover, Xun Yu was a weak scholar and could not stand it.
After a long and bumpy ride day and night, I turned around and looked and found a high ground ahead.
I pointed at the high ground with my riding crop and said, "Okay, let's go camp there."
In just a moment, Liu Chenggong led Xun Yu and thirty personal guards to the high ground.
Before it got dark, everyone set up several tents on the high ground.
After dinner, they arranged to be alert and fell asleep. .
In the middle of the night, a loud shout suddenly came from the guard post: "Who is it?"
Liu Cheng woke up, instantly stood up, grabbed the sword and rushed outside the tent.
At this moment, a hail of arrows came over him.
Sensing the danger, he immediately drew the sword and swung it rapidly.
The sword danced in his hand.
It was airtight and the blade could not be seen, only a circular circle of light enveloped him.
The guards who had fallen asleep in the tent had all been awakened.
They rushed out of the tent one after another.
However, as soon as they rushed out of the tent and faced the constant rain of arrows, Liu Cheng waved his sword at high speed and shouted: "Go back all of them." , the arrows are not allowed to come out, protect Xun Yu."
After the two guards were shot into a hornet's nest and reminded by Liu Cheng's loud shout, the guards immediately returned to the tent.
Although the tent could not withstand the rain of arrows, the terrain here was relatively high, and the rain of arrows was high.
Shooting from a low place, the arrow penetrated the tent and then flew diagonally upward.
The guards could avoid the arrow by squatting on the ground.
Liu Cheng didn't know how many arrows he had blocked.
When the guards protected Xun Yu and returned to the camp, all the arrows were shot at him.
After a while, his feet were covered with a thick layer of arrows.
Layer of arrows.
The rain of arrows finally stopped after shooting a cup of tea.
The guards left five people in the camp to protect Xun Yu, and the other twenty or so immediately rushed out and formed a defensive formation behind Liu Cheng.
It was pitch black below the high ground, and nothing could be seen.
After the arrow rain attack stopped, there was only the howling cold wind, and there was no sound other than that.
The silence was terrifying.
The deeper the silence, the more violent the attack might be.
The guards began to sweat on their foreheads and back vests, and drops of sweat dripped quietly.
Liu Cheng even heard the rapid heartbeats of the guards behind him.
Gasps.

Liu Cheng's mind was running at high speed.
Why didn't the enemy react after the arrow rain stopped?
What did this silence mean?
He instantly thought of a possibility, and immediately ordered: "Send ten people to guard behind the camp.
Once the enemy is discovered, immediately Warning" "promise" The execution ability of the guards was very strong.
In the blink of an eye, ten guards quickly ran to the back of the camp.
Soon a guard shouted: "General, we found that the enemy is climbing the cliff."
Liu Cheng immediately shouted: "Shoot them to death, my general!"
"promise" The personal guards are usually equipped with only war knives and war horses.
In wartime, in addition to war horses and war knives, they are also equipped with spears and riding bows.
After receiving Liu Cheng's order, the ten guards behind the camp immediately took out their bows and arrows.
A torch fell down the cliff and landed in a crack in the rocks.
The light of the torch illuminated the surroundings.
A dozen assassins wearing black night clothes and carrying long swords on their backs were exposed to the sight of the guards. among.
"Fire the arrows!"
a guard commander shouted, and the arrows on the bow string were shot out.
The arrows of the other nine guards also followed and shot at the assassins below.
"ah" "ah" Assassins continued to be shot, and then rolled down the cliff.
They smashed the rocks into pieces as they rolled down, and countless rubbles rolled down.
Perhaps the enemy below the high ground learned that the people on the cliff behind had been discovered and that the sneak attack had failed, so they fired a large number of arrows again.
When Liu Cheng heard the sound of the arrows breaking through the air, he immediately fired at the guards behind him.
They shouted: "Get closer and hide behind me.
No one is allowed to mess up!"
Before he finished speaking, a rain of arrows came towards him again.
Liu Cheng immediately waved his sword, and once again waved the sword tightly, like a white light shield protecting his whole body.
All the arrows that were shot were covered by this white light shield.
The light shield blocked it.
After resisting a hail of arrows, Liu Cheng found that the opponent's arrows seemed to be free of charge and had no intention of stopping.
He immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Go put out the fire personally and throw one."
Go down with the torch and see where the enemy is hiding."
Until then, Liu Cheng noticed that the fire completely exposed their figures to the eyes of the enemies below the high ground.
No wonder the arrows shot were so accurate, and they all came towards him alone.
After hearing Liu Cheng's order, a deft guard immediately rolled to the fire, picked up a torch, and dropped it to the high ground.
Then he kept throwing the burning wood down the high ground.
Go, after a while, there were only some scattered red charcoal left in the fire, and there was no light anymore, but the torch and burning wood he threw down illuminated the environment above and below.
I saw a group of men in black shooting arrows at the high ground with bows and arrows.
Judging from the numbers, there were probably no less than a hundred people.
After there was no fire on the high ground, Liu Cheng and others were hidden in the darkness.
The men in black below the high ground also lost their archery target and could only continue to blindly shoot arrows in the original direction and position according to their memory. .
At this time, Liu Cheng had already moved his position with his guards.
He whispered to one of his guards: "Go and get my general's bow."
The Baodiao bow left in the camp was quickly delivered to Liu Cheng's hands by his guards.
Liu Cheng squatted on the ground, picked up an arrow and put it on the bow string.
The arrow was aimed at a tall man in black.
The fingers that were pulling the bow were instantly released, and the huge elastic force of the bow string pushed the arrow out.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot through the night with an ear-piercing scream, and accurately hit the chest of the tall man in black.
The man in black was also very skilled, and seemed to be aware of the danger.
Upon noticing this, he immediately swung his sword forward and cut off the tail of the arrow, but the remaining half of the arrow still penetrated his right chest.
"Pfft" the sound of the arrow penetrating the body came out.
The tall man in black remained motionless, but a blood hole appeared on his right chest.
It turned out that the penetrating power of the arrow was too strong and it actually penetrated him. body.
The man in black slowly reached out and touched the wound.
Blood flowed out from the wound and touched his hand.
He was speechless and took a few steps back before falling down.
"Boss, boss" several exclamations sounded at the same time, and then several men in black rushed over to help the tall man in black who had not yet fallen to the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" At this time, three more arrows were shot down from the high ground, and three more men in black fell down in response.
"Ah" casualties appeared, and the leader didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
The men in black fell into panic amidst the screams.
At this moment, a loud shout came out: "Don't panic, you can't hold your head still.
Now I will instruct you to put out the flames quickly.
The others are hiding and waiting for orders.
No retreat is allowed.
Who can Who can I kill if I run?”
After the leader of the men in black was shot dead by Liu Cheng, it was obvious that the person who had just spoken took over the command.
This person should be the second-in-command of the men in black.
Under his order, several men in black hesitated.
After a while, he rushed towards the still burning firewood and But they were attacked by arrows from the high ground one after another.
After seven or eight people were shot to death in a row, the fire was completely extinguished.
And many of the other men in black who had no time to hide were also attacked by Liu Chengqin.
Shooting by the guards.
The fighting stopped strangely, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
Even the guards guarding the cliff behind stopped shooting at this time.
A personal guard ran over and whispered to Liu Cheng: "General, there are four men in black left on the cliff and they quietly evacuated."
"Withdrawn."
Liu Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this.
Could it be that these men in black gave up the attack and withdrew?
I just heard that the second-in-command of the men in black took over the command.
I'm afraid they won't give up so easily.
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and asked another guard beside him: "Are there any torches?"
Originally, I was planning to travel at night, so I brought a lot of torches.
After camping here, these torches were not used.
Unexpectedly, they came in handy at this time.
"And" the guard agreed and immediately brought one.
A torch.
Liu Cheng and others squatted on the high ground and stared at the dark place below, but could not see anything.
However, Liu Cheng had a premonition that the battle was far from over.
The enemy would not give up so easily.
Who are these people?
Liu Cheng wanted to He didn't come out, but he knew that these people were here to kill him, and they would not evacuate easily until they completed their mission.
According to Liu Cheng's judgment, these people should have undergone certain military training, but unlike the army, they had a strong aura of Jianghu.

At this time, a large number of rapid footsteps came from below the high ground, and the enemy's attack below was launched silently.
Liu Cheng immediately ordered: "Everyone prepare their bows and arrows, light the torches and throw them down.
When the light illuminates the bottom, everyone quickly releases as many arrows as they can."
The guards silently took the arrows and strung them.
One of the guards took out a flint and struck it a few times to light the torch.
When the torch was lit, he picked up the torch and threw it into the air ahead
