After Leng Qingqiu went up, everyone started climbing.

Pei Yun was very strong. He grabbed the existing rope, stepped on the cliff, and climbed up step by step with his hands and feet.

After them came Chang Wei, Baldy and others who were better in martial arts, and the rest just crawled slowly.

When Pei Yun came up, there were two bodies of bandits on the ground, obviously killed by Leng Qingqiu.

"It's not exposed, right?" Pei Yun said.

Leng Qingqiu shook her head. With her skills, how could she possibly make the bandits send out a signal?

Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he brought an expert like Leng Qingqiu. There were no bandits in the back mountain during the day, but he didn't expect that there would be people guarding at night. It seems that the bandits in Broken Blade Cliff are indeed cautious.

Pei Yun took out a clepsydra from his backpack. He had taken it from the military camp specifically in order to synchronize with Cao Bing.

"Bald, keep an eye on the time and tell me when it's midnight."

"Brother, can you forget my nickname? I'm growing my hair now, can you please call me Zhao Yun for once?"

Pei Yun's eyelids twitched. "Be serious."

The bald man was speechless. Why am I not serious? I don’t have a name anyway, so isn’t it normal to choose one now?

Leng Qingqiu whispered: "Why don't I go to Cao Bing's side now, and when they attack, I will kill Cao Bing in the chaos."

Pei Yun was startled and hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't be impulsive. I said I would help you get revenge, and I will definitely do it. Just wait a little longer."

"How long do we have to wait? When I think about how that bastard killed eight members of the Chen family and got away with it for so long, I can't wait any longer."

Leng Qingqiu thought that tonight was the time to kill Cao Bing, but Pei Yun didn't say anything, so she had to bring it up.

Pei Yun frowned, "Leng Qingqiu, you have waited for so many years, can't you wait now? Impatience can ruin a big plan. I still need to use Cao Bing to suppress the bandits. If you kill him now, it will ruin my plan."

"Once all the banditry in Qingyang County is eliminated, I will let you take revenge with your own hands."

It was the first time that Leng Qingqiu saw Pei Yun looking at her with a stern face. She felt inexplicably flustered, lowered her head, and her hands were a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Pei Yun took out a chicken leg and gave it to her.

Leng Qingqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, she took it and started to chew it. Pei Yun smiled, this girl is easy to please.

…

At the Broken Blade Cliff stronghold, after Zhou Meng had tormented the woman, he was about to go to bed when a bandit rushed in.

"It's bad, village chief. A large number of soldiers have come down the mountain and they look like they are going to attack us."

Zhou Meng sat up with a ferocious look on his face.

"Damn it, are these soldiers going to stop? They killed so many people during their previous attacks, aren't they scared yet?"

"Bring me my knife!"

Suddenly a bandit came over with a ghost-head knife.

"Gather the brothers. I want to see how brave these officers and soldiers are. Do they dare to attack us?"

Soon the mountain stronghold was filled with noise, and a group of bandits rushed towards the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road with weapons in hand. As long as the officers and soldiers dared to come up, they would be let to experience the power of rolling stones and battering rams.

At the same time, the archers among the bandits were already in position.

Zhou Meng said: "Keep quiet, so that those soldiers will think we don't know. Wait until they are halfway along the road before taking action."

The younger brothers nodded and immediately felt that the village chief was the village chief and his brain was more flexible than theirs. If the officers and soldiers knew that they were prepared, they might dare to attack.

Coming so late, it's obvious that they're planning a night attack, so let's lure them up.

These bandits were all desperate criminals. They had killed government soldiers more than once or twice. Therefore, they were not afraid but excited when facing the encirclement and suppression by government soldiers.

Some bandits wore the double-leg armor of officers and soldiers, which made other bandits without armor envious. If they could kill more officers and soldiers, they would have armor to wear.

At the foot of the mountain, Cao Bing looked at the hourglass. When the sand reached midnight, he waved his hand and the soldiers immediately started to go up the mountain.

The mountain path is winding and can accommodate five people walking side by side, with shield soldiers at the front.

These are pure shield soldiers, all of whom are strong. Their shields are more than half a person's height, made of thick wood, and covered with iron sheets on the edges, which can effectively resist rain of arrows.

Behind each row of shield soldiers were archers. Having come here several times to suppress bandits, the officers and soldiers had gained experience.

They knew that there would be bandits lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain road, throwing stones and wood down to hit people.

As long as the shield soldiers can hold on, the archers can attack. Of course, it is difficult to hit people in this kind of night attack, so Cao Bing soaked the arrows of the archers in kerosene and used fire to attack.

There are trees and weeds on both sides of the cliff, which can be easily ignited.

Cao Bing was still at the foot of the mountain at this time. He looked at the soldiers climbing up through the moonlight and felt quite nervous. Although it was just a feint attack, it would still result in casualties.

They only walked a short distance and did not encounter any attacks, which made Cao Bing happy. Could it be that the bandits were too careless and did not notice them coming?

Sima also said at this time: "Captain, it seems that the bandits are asleep. Why don't we speed up the march? As long as we can reach the mountain stronghold, we can destroy these bandits in one fell swoop."

Cao Bing was about to agree when he thought of Pei Yun's words, that the bandits had secret sentries. Pei Yun was born a bandit and knew a lot about this. He said if there were secret sentries, then there must be. These bandits haven't attacked yet, most likely they want to lure them deeper. If they launch an attack like this, it will be difficult for them to retreat.

"Pass the order down, fire the rockets."

Immediately the order was passed to the front, the archers took out the tinder, and kept blowing on it. After a long time, they finally ignited the rocket and then shot it towards the cliffs on both sides.

boom!

The rocket landed and immediately ignited the grass and trees.

"Oh no! They know we are ambushing. Attack them!"

A small leader shouted, and immediately rocks and battering rams were thrown towards the mountain path.
