Chapter 258: Race Against Time

In the next two years, LΓΌ Xingyang and Jin Lin continued to march to the west of the city with the will of Pang Lu, and even though they lost nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, they still had the ability to destroy the city.

More than 10,000 elite soldiers, like tigers and wolves, are still continuing to kill, and the soldiers of the city led by Liang Jin collided with it, which was completely a one-sided battle, even if Pang Lu was seriously injured and Yang Tafeng died, but the original situation still did not change, and the crisis of Jiaozhi City was still like an indelible cloud hanging over the heads of the people and the people of Wohua Mountain.

After the attrition of the two, the militia organized by Liang Jin has lost more than half, while the Qin army has lost less than a thousand, this level of consumption is far from what Liang Jin and a few people can bear, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

Night came again, the Qin army's offensive was far faster than imagined, Lu Xingyang and Jin Lin led Li Zhengxing, Sun Huan, Lou Zhong, Kou Xiuyong, did not relax at all, although they also used all their strength to resist, but there were no available soldiers, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Several Wohua Mountain generals gathered together again, and their soldiers were constantly patrolling, for fear that the Qin army would take advantage of the night to attack and kill, at this time they could take a short rest, eat two bites of dry cakes, drink some water, and it will be another night.

Liang Jin's heart was tired, his expression was full of tiredness, and he sorted out the things in his hand, and said: "This is the fourth day of the siege of the Qin army, and most of the city's grain reserves were originally in the east of the city, but now that place should be controlled by the Qin army, and we have no way to capture it." Because of the rush to flee before, most of the people did not bring food with them, resulting in a huge shortage of food, even if they save, it will not last for seven days. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Even if the west of the city is not a place to store grain, but many of the people's houses have not been damaged at all, they can still take out their own grain, I remember that the business of Jiaozhi City is also prosperous now, why is there a shortage of food?"

Liang Jin said: "You haven't run the city, naturally you won't know how huge the food you need, and we are not only feeding thousands of soldiers now, but also the hundreds of thousands of people, they are the real consumption of food, now all the grain reserves are being supplied there, and there are not many that can be distributed to us, this is Jiaozhi City after all, not Wohua Mountain." ”

Lin Han said: "In this kind of crisis, those who have selfish intentions will also show their original colors, even if some families have food, but naturally they will not choose to distribute it to others, no one knows how long they will be trapped, more food reserves are naturally excellent, this is the state of the world." Just as a few years ago, when we were still traveling, we saw that the children of the famine always hid a piece of coarse grain cake, and the human heart is uncontrollable. ”

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said: "A few years ago, there were also these problems in the town of Huangshi where I lived, and those who still have hidden things are always watching the misery of others with a cold eye, even if the fates of those people are linked, they will still have selfish intentions. It's just a little sad, we are guarding them in front, but they are hesitating for themselves, this is no longer a matter of short-sightedness, the selfishness of people's hearts is enough to make people break their bones. ”

Meng Lang said: "There is no need to dwell on these things, everyone has selfish intentions, this is the normal state of people, if we want to force them to hand over the grain, we will fall into the inferior, and now we are also insisting, as long as we can expel the Qin army, or there are other changes, we naturally do not have to encounter this kind of problem." ”

"However, how easy is it to expel the Qin army?" Lin Han frowned, and said: "It is not easy for us to defeat this Qin army independently, even if we use human lives to fill the lack of combat effectiveness of the army, it will not help. I'm thinking, according to the general situation, our situation should have been introduced to the city of the four seas two years ago, and I wonder if they will come to help in time. ”

Liang Jin said: "Now the military power in Sihai City is controlled by the left and right, and the number of recruits in Sihai City has exceeded three thousand, although they have not undergone much strict training, but at least they are much stronger than these militias, if they are led by the two of them to rescue, we may be able to get out of trouble." It's just that now we can't hear from Sihai City, and we don't know why they didn't come to the rescue. ”

Meng Lang said: "We have been attacked by Pang Lu, maybe Sihai City is also surrounded by the Qin army, and there is no time to rescue us?"

Lin Han said: "There is this possibility, but it shouldn't be the Qin army, we have all seen the generals under Pang Lu, and there is no one else leading the army to go to Sihai City." What's more, our construction of soldiers and horses in Sihai City is carried out in secret, and it is naturally impossible to distract Pang Lu to send manpower, and the only explanation is that Sihai City has also encountered some trouble, but it comes from the entanglement of other forces. ”

Jiang Ming said: "In this way, isn't Sihai City more in crisis? We have at least three thousand veterans from before, but most of the soldiers in Sihai City are new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is completely incomparable, how can they stop it?"

Most of the logistics personnel in Sihai City are Liangjin No. 1, which also includes several snake women, Huanziyu, Yu Bushi and others, which can be described as another epitome of Wohua Mountain.

Lin Han said: "According to my speculation, they should not suffer a big setback, after all, no one knows about our secret operations, and the reason why all the forces attack may only be for the city of the Four Seas City, or if they want to disperse our other forces to gather, they will not send a large number of people." With generals such as Zuo Shuangli and Right Yichang, Sihai City can be regarded as extremely stable, not to mention that Yu Buwei and Huanziyu will naturally support each other, and the strength of the four martial arts masters is not weak. ”

Meng Lang said: "In this way, we don't have to worry about the affairs of Sihai City, but we can't get the support of Sihai City, I'm afraid these calamities will be difficult to overcome, Lu Xingyang and Jin Lin led the Qin army, and the speed is not inferior to Pang Lu at all, and now it seems that this war should be won and lost." ”

Dividing the winner and the loser means absolute defeat, they cannot succeed, each of them has unhealed injuries, and there are not many people under them who can really stop the Qin army, this war will eventually be a war without suspense.

Just when a few people hesitated, Du Henghe ran from a distance, with a touch of ecstasy on his face, and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of several people without etiquette, and only said: "The four commanders and the eight commanders have found the secret way to the outside." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in disbelief.

When everyone came to the north of the city, there were dug pits everywhere, and all the people gathered in one place, Chu Hong and Luo Hu did not participate in the battle, but stayed here to continue to look for the secret way, and the originally ethereal things were really found by them.

Chu Hong and Luo Hu saw Liang Jin and a few people, their faces were full of glory, Chu Hong said: "How about Lao Jin, this secret path is what I found, with this secret way, we will be able to get rid of the golden cicada shell and avoid war, and the credit should not be very small!"

Liang Jin waved his hand helplessly, and said: "Okay, okay, it's your credit, and I will naturally reward you in the future, but has everything been explored clearly?

Luo Hu said: "Although I have experienced the fierce blow of the sulfur fire bomb, but the secret passage is extremely stable, my eldest son and I have personally walked in the secret passage, and it only took less than half an hour to come to the north of the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, and placed a lot of fluorescent stones in the secret passage, and sent people to respond to it on the side of the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, and now the people can be relocated." ”

Liang Jin and the others were dumbfounded, and Meng Lang said: "You mean, it only takes half an hour to get from here to the Jiaozhi Mountain Range? But Jiaozhi City is not very close to the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, and it takes at least an hour to ride a horse, and it takes at least two hours to walk, how can it be so close after passing through this secret passage?"

Chu Hong said with a smile: "But as Luo Hu said, it only took half an hour for us to walk over, and this secret path should go to the Jiaozhi Mountains in a straight line, not like at least or walk through many twists and turns, which can greatly save time." ”

Liang Jin was overjoyed and said: "Since this is the case, let's start arranging for the people to relocate, more than 100,000 people want to move, and it is not easy to pass through this narrow secret passage, and there is no way to complete this task until the morning of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. ”

Luo Hu said: "We have arranged for those who participated in the search for the secret passage and their families to leave first, but considering the current situation, we have not directly notified all the people to come here, in the face of this kind of catastrophe, people's hearts are always selfish, maybe they will do something unpredictable in order to get out of danger as soon as possible." ”

Lin Han pondered: "What Luo Hu said is right, then notify it part by part first, regardless of the share, only care about the distance and proximity, and say that it is to prevent the Qin army from attacking, so it is necessary to divide the people, so as to reduce the suspicion of the people." ”

Liang Jin said: "What you said is very reasonable, in order to prevent some of the people from making trouble, it is better to allocate some people to suppress it, our Wohua Mountain has always been 'gathering righteousness and Jingjing', at this time we are the vanguard of Jiaozhi City, and we should also walk in the end for this group of people." ”

No one objected to Liang Jin's proposal, several of them had a strong concept of salvation in their hearts, and because of this, they would join Wohua Mountain to do things, of course, Jiang Ming did not have such a thing, all he had was to pay for the people who were worthy, if it was meaningless in his cognition, then he would not do it.

The action began to be implemented quickly, in order to seize all the time in a race against time, several of them also joined the command team, but more than 100,000 people were too large, obviously it would be impossible to migrate for a while and a half, and by the time the fifth dawn broke, ** million people had been moved, and there were nearly 70,000 people left.

"Report to the commanders, the Qin army began to attack our army's defense line again, and the defense line retreated three miles, please go to supervise the battle!"

Hearing this news, Liang Jin and the others trembled again, and the Qin army seemed unwilling to give them any respite, but there were still more than 70,000 people who had not moved, and there was no way for them to leave at this time.

Liang Jin shouted: "Luohu, Chu Hong, you lead one hundred and thirty-seven Wohua Mountain soldiers to command the people to move here, Jiang Ming, you also stay, I, Lin Han, and Meng Lang lead the rest of the city soldiers to intercept the Qin army, if we don't come forward, those militiamen are afraid that they will not be able to hold out under the Qin army for an hour." ”

Luo Hu and Chu Hong were left behind again, they lowered their heads, silent, I don't know what they were thinking in their hearts, but at this moment Jiang Ming raised his head and said: "I have objections, the current shape is obvious, there is a great possibility that the people who go to intercept the Qin army will not have time to evacuate, and the remaining militia has no way to hold out for a day under the fierce impact of the Qin army, although I have a relationship in my heart, I can choose to be on the same battlefield as my brother!"

His involvement is Shen Yiwei, it is already October 12, according to Yequan's speculation, Shen Yiwu will appear in ten days, and the people who have been disturbed by time and space will reunite, he has a lot of things to explain, but he has other concerns.

Liang Jin shouted angrily: "I am the supreme commander here, and everything is subject to my orders. ”

Jiang Ming said coldly: "I said, I choose to be on the same battlefield with my brother, and I can withdraw from Wohua Mountain and get out of your jurisdiction anytime and anywhere." ”

Liang Jin said: "In this case, Hanzi, you can also stay, Mengzi can go with me, there is no need for many people to intercept, just the two of me are enough." ”

Jiang Ming still stared at Liang Jin and said, "You shouldn't have understood my words, I said, I want to be on the same battlefield with my brother!"

"Hanzi also stays, you still have ......" Halfway through the words, Liang Jin swallowed it raw, he understood Jiang Ming's words, several of them were his brothers, not just Lin Han.

Everyone knows that Jiang Ming and Lin Han have an excellent relationship, at the beginning, Lin Han relied on his own strength to mediate between several people, so that they agreed to Jiang Ming's joining, and then Jiang Ming chose to go to the Mourning Tiger Mouth in the battle of the Mourning Tiger's Mouth, which has long been not an ordinary friendship, but an elusive tacit understanding and cognition, and their friendship is difficult for others to understand.

As they got along for more and more time, they found out that Jiang Ming was actually a rather selfish character, secretly helping Lin Han to do things, and gifting him high-level martial arts, although they were all regarded as the leaders of Wohua Mountain, but it was difficult for everyone to compare with Lin Han in their own position.

They thought that the only brother Jiang Ming recognized was Lin Han.

But, they miscalculated.

Lin Han smiled faintly and said, "Lao Jin, let Jiang Ming go with us!"

Liang Jin nodded and didn't say anything more.

After the four of them left, Luo Hu and Chu Hong fell into deeper thinking, their friendship with Liang Jin, Lin Han, and Meng Lang was extremely profound, and what they had been thinking about at the beginning was once again endowed with powerful thoughts.

"How about that?"

"Are you trying to ......?"

"That's right. ”

"But can you let go of your confidante?"

"Ziyu will understand, it's just that the promise she made at the beginning can't be fulfilled, so let Du Henghe bring my words over, which can be regarded as a thought, but once something happens to me, she should be alone to bear her own fate!"

"It seems that you are still deeply involved, but I didn't expect you to have a kind of sadness when you move, so change your career to be a poet!"

"Don't talk about me, I think you better leave, Butterfly's deep and obsessive attitude towards you is not simple, besides, you will get married in a while, you can't let her down. ”

"Naturally, I won't live up to it, but this time I'm going to choose another path, even if I'm with Lao Jin and them, I'll try to live. If there is really no way to live, then you can only let her down. ”

"Well, I still think ......"

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what does it look like!"

"Okay, well, in that case, then let's prepare!"

"Ready!"

Liang Jin's horse-pounding lance wielded the tiger and bear vigorously, and Sun Huan, who was fighting with it, had to pay attention to it, and his two hands instantly turned blood-red, and he actually grabbed Liang Jin's horse-pounding horse, this kind of ability is simply terrifying, and he can catch the blade with his bare hands, and these bloody hands already have the power of gold and iron.

"I saw you use this bloody hand last time, I have to say that this is an extremely powerful move, but if the opponent's strength can crush you, then what?" Liang Jin shouted, and suddenly the majestic power of the eight leads surged out, and passed through Liang Jin's hands to the long lance of the horse-pounding horse, as if to shake Sun Huan away.

Sun Huan's face tightened, but he still held Liang Jin's weapon tightly, and said fiercely: "This strength is no longer a simple eight-lead power, you are already standing on the threshold of half a step and nine stages, I am afraid that you will be promoted soon from now on, the second commander of Wohua Mountain is really extraordinary, but I, Sun Huan, am not a general, if you want to suppress me with strength alone, it is absolutely impossible!"

Liang Jin snorted coldly, and jerked the hammer lance, and the weapon was out of Sun Huan's control, and then smashed down again, Sun Huan flew to dodge, and suddenly a big pit appeared on the ground.

Sun Huan was in a cold sweat, if he chose to take Liang Jin's lance, he was afraid that even his bloody hands would not be able to bear this power, and simply use his strength as a weapon, Liang Jin was afraid that he already had a kind of understanding.

But in another place, Lin Han and Kou Xiuyong fought together, although Kou Xiuyong was the most worthy of Lin Han's shot under Pang Lu's tent except for Qiong Leshuang, but at this moment, Lin Han's injury had not healed, but it gave Kou Xiuyong the ability to fight with him.

With a comprehension comparable to the Zhan style of Shen Ling, against Lin Han who was half a step and nine sections, Lin Han reacted extremely quickly, and his marksmanship was also a unique avenue, so it would not be easy to win at least Kou Xiuyong.

Jiang Ming fought against Lu Xingyang and Li Zhengxing, and Meng Lang and Lou Zhong were entangled, it was not a simple matter, but the two armies were against each other, although the battle of the generals could affect a certain situation, but unfortunately the war was not only decided by these people, the Qin army tens of thousands of soldiers and horses began to slaughter the militia of Liangjin, and it seemed that as long as a certain amount of time passed, they would occupy an absolute victory.

Even without Pang Lu's participation, even if Zhu Gai and Su Jie died in the chaos, the Qin army still had great power.

But Liang Jin and the others all have their own ideas.

Faster, faster!

As long as the people withdrew, they had no other scruples.

Racing against time, this is a battle of time.

Yangtafeng, your will will be borne by me Wohua Mountain, and we will save the people of Jiaozhi City!
