Jiang Ming woke up, and it was already noon.

Because of the war, there were not many pedestrians in this area of Jiaozhi Road, and when Jiang Ming fainted, no one found it disturbing, only Jue Jiangma was lying beside him, whispering at Jiang Ming's voice.

Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and patted Jue Jiangma, slowly stood up, and shouted: "Oops, it looks like it's not early, we have to leave quickly, in case Mu Ya and them leave, there is no point in coming overnight." ”

Juejiang Horse kicked the horse's hooves and got up from the mountain road, slowly lowering his body, so that Jiang Ming could easily sit on it, and after a short start, the war horse finally raised its proud head again, dragging its tired body towards Jiaozhi City.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Mu Ya and Yin Wan had already left Jiaozhi City, and it still didn't work for him to rush back in such a hurry.

When Jiang Ming was about to arrive in Jiaozhi City, Lin Han, who was escorting grain and grass, was walking in the mountain road with the team, with all kinds of troubles in this food team, his speed would become extremely slow, according to the normal itinerary, it would take at least five days to come to Jiaozhi City. Of course, this is when nothing happens on the road.

And after Jiang Ming's big trouble, the Daming Grottoes stationed in the Jiaozhi Mountains became all soldiers, and sent troops to various key points to guard, if someone invaded, this time it would be immediately noticed, and there would definitely not be hundreds of people chasing one person and letting people escape.

The news of Lin Han's grain transportation was also learned by the sentinels early, and it was reported to the table of the poisonous dragon, and the generals bowed their heads, and the smile of the poisonous dragon gradually rose.

"This time, it's time to find a new ally. ”

It will be stormy again, but others have not yet noticed it.

When Jiang Ming woke up, he was already in Jiaozhi City, Chu Hong and Meng Lang were waiting outside, and after briefly inquiring about the situation, they were not surprised to learn that Mu Ya and the others had already left in the early morning, Jiang Ming lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed, it didn't matter if he was tired.

Chu Hong said: "Why, when you run back in such a hurry, your brain is broken?"

Jiang Ming reprimanded: "Your brain is broken, no, my brain is really broken." ”

Chu Hong and Meng Lang looked at each other, and both waved their hands helplessly, and the latter smiled: "It's time for us to pick you up, as soon as you fell at the city gate, my people discovered your identity, and now that the weather is slowly getting cooler, can it still be heated like this?"

Jiang Ming laughed even more, since the few of them got acquainted, this conversation has become concise and clear, but Jiang Ming will not care about the ridicule, looking at the two of them and said: "I think I'm still a little stupid, Mu Ya didn't want me to send him in the first place, so he sent me out at this time, and I still have to fight to send him, and it's not life and death, why bother?

Chu Hong and Meng Lang had to nod yes, but this scene always felt particularly weird, and Meng Lang suddenly said: "By the way, the two wooden figures you carved before seem to have also been taken away by Mr. Mu Ya." Tsk, green sandalwood, even if the entire Qin Dynasty can't find much, you are really willing to spend money. ”

Jiang Ming sighed and said: "It's good to take it away, otherwise it's useless to leave it, it was originally a gift for their husband and wife, it's good to think about it, it's just that Mu Ya's one hasn't been carved yet, and it is estimated that Mu Ya will inevitably be scolded a few times, so there will be regrets." It's good to regret it, at least I can remember it more deeply. ”

Jiang Ming didn't know that his thoughts were secretly in line with what Mu Ya said before parting.

Meng Lang said: "Also, why didn't Hanzi come back? My people have been waiting for a long time, but they still haven't seen his shadow, even if your Maxima is faster, it won't be more than half a day before it arrives, right?"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "It seems that you don't have much confidence in investigating the grain and grass, but I can tell you very responsibly that we have found the grain and grass, and Lin Han is arranging the transportation in the back, according to the itinerary, a grain team will almost arrive in five or six days." ”

"Really?" Chu Hong and Meng Lang both looked quite happy, this can be regarded as a great thing, although there is a temporary provision of food and grass in the seventh act, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, only when the supply on the side of Wohua Mountain gradually stabilizes, their combat mission can be completed more stably.

Meng Lang laughed and said: "You can be regarded as a great achievement, although I am very curious about what you have experienced, but for the sake of your weak body, I will allow you to cultivate first and then report to us." ”

"You really know how to put on music, but you can't deny the credit for this time...... It's broken. Jiang Ming suddenly reacted, the Jiaozhi Mountain Range is now tightly guarded by the people and horses of the Daming Caves, if Lin Han's grain team passes, I am afraid that it will poison the trap of the dragon, he asked anxiously: "What time is it now, how long have I been back?"

Chu Hong was stunned in place, and said slowly: "You came back in the afternoon, and you are close to the decision at this moment, is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Ming hurriedly said: "It means that I have been gone for a day and a night, and Lin Han's grain team is afraid that it will enter the Jiaozhi Mountain Range in the middle of tomorrow." But at this time, how could he enter the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, where there were all soldiers and horses from the Daming Caves, and Jiao Pingwen was guarding there, and I am afraid that most of the troops of the poisonous dragon were there, and he led the grain team into the mountain range It is undoubtedly a sheep into the wolf's mouth, and the grain and grass may be lost at that time, and even Lin Han will be in danger. ”

Meng Lang said solemnly: "Is this news accurate? However, none of our sentries have detected the whereabouts of the poisonous dragons, and they only know that there is their stronghold in the northern mountains and forests, if this is the case, we will inevitably use a large number of troops again." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Naturally, there is no doubt about it, when I walked through the mountains last night, I was discovered by Jiao Pingwen, he brought hundreds of people to surround and kill me, I fought for a long time, thanks to Jue Jiangma, I was able to escape." You still have to arrange for the reception as soon as possible, if Lin Han really falls into the siege of the Daming Cave, it will be really troublesome. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange the staff. Eldest son, hurry up and tell Lao Jin and let him formulate a strategy as soon as possible. Meng Lang nodded, and hurried out. And Chu Hong also said a few words to take care, and then chose to leave.

After the two left, he was the only one left in the room, although he was not seriously injured in the battle last night, but now he was sore, and he couldn't raise his strength at all, so he had to sit up cross-legged, and summon the two Wasteland Ding fragments again, generating a stirring to heal his body, which was the best way he could think of.

If Lin Han really fell into the siege of Daming Grottoes, it would mean that the war broke out again, and the soldiers of the Wohua Mountain military camp, who had been calm for only a few days, would enter the Shura battlefield again, and this time they only had a team of less than 6,000 people, and they wanted to compete with more than 10,000 soldiers who were also elite and good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and the victory rate was extremely small.

"We could have faced the enemy together, but I was ahead of the curve, so I had to participate in this fight. Daming Cave dares to strangle the Jiaozhi Mountain Range, which means that their intentions are not small, since they are willing to be our enemy, then my halberd will not hesitate!"

A slightly more spacious house on the city wall was used as a temporary battle meeting hall, in which only Liang Jin consulted with Luo Hu and the lieutenant generals on military affairs.

Luo Hu said: "Before the battle of the Jiaozhi Mountains began, the woman who broke into our military camp had died of an epidemic attack, and after we buried it, the doctors observed and treated the soldiers and generals who were isolated from her for a long time, and did not find that anyone else was contaminated with the epidemic. However, in the course of our exploration of the northern mountain forests, we found that the people around the cloud falcon mountain seemed to be inexplicably contaminated with the source of the disease, and the people who were sick began to migrate in all directions due to the death of their family members and neighbors. ”

"The people who infiltrated the Wohua Mountain area have been controlled, and the refugees who came to the Jiaozhi area have also been imprisoned and managed by the city lord Yang Tafeng with iron-blooded means, and the situation of the major cities north of the northern mountains and forests is unknown, and I only know that Daming Cave has also made precautions for a long time, and I think that the epidemic will not spread to the northeast and southeast again. ”

"It's just that there is a big problem in the four seas of Jiaozhi City. After the violent death of the city lord of Sihai City some time ago, the poisonous dragon son of Daming Grotto controlled the whole city for a short time, and did not cause substantial harm to the people of Sihai City. However, some time ago, the refugees who came from the northern mountains and forests, the poisonous dragon did not prevent them from entering the city of the four seas, so that now when the Nanban controls the city of the four seas, there are already many people infected with the epidemic, although many of the doctors in the city have been dispatched by Jin Han to treat the patients, but the invasion of the epidemic has been irrepressible, and I have withdrawn all the spies in the city. ”

Liang Jin said: "This epidemic is indeed a big problem, although our army is not at risk now, but the serious epidemic in Sihai City has meant that another epidemic war has begun, this will definitely be the war of the entire Qin Dynasty, no matter how much we prepare, we will inevitably be caught in it." Those brute soldiers in Four Seas City are now finished, and if they can't restrain the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, there is a chance that they will be defeated by themselves. ”

Feng Qingdao: "Commander, what actions should we take about the current epidemic situation in all parties?"

Liang Jin said: "I think it is imperative to defend the city pass, to help Yangtafeng stop the spread of the disease, and to send sentinels to the northern mountains and forests to inspect the cause, find the source of the disease, and extinguish it." Although the brutes can be considered our enemies, we will not gain a sense of accomplishment by defeating them in these ways. Stop the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, regardless of the forces, and hope for such an outcome. ”

Luo Hu thought for a moment and said, "I agree with the opinion of the second commander, do you generals have other opinions?"

Feng Qing, the two generals on the left and right, Wu Xiu and other generals have no doubts, and another deputy general of Chu Hong, Gou Yidao: "The two commanders, according to the secret report of the sentinel detective, there is news about Pang Lu and his Qin generals who were defeated in the previous battle, under the leadership of Pang Lu, they about 10,000 people joined the army and marched around the northern mountains and forests, and finally stationed in the Sifang City to the west of Jiaozhi City, but their whereabouts were hidden, and almost no other forces found out, and the last general thought that Pang Lu would have other actions." ”

Liang Jin said: "It is indeed worth paying attention to at this time, but after this defeat, Pang Lu should not dare to launch an offensive against us easily." And we now have an alliance with the city lord of Jiaozhi Yangtafeng, one glory and one loss, Yangtafeng can naturally provide us with a lot of convenience, we only need to send sentinels to take more precautions in this area. ”

"Yes, Commander!"

Just when everyone continued to discuss in depth, Chu Hong came to the conference hall and said a few words in Liang Jin's ear, Liang Jin's face gradually became solemn, so he didn't say anything, waved his hand to signal the general to leave, and the negotiation of several people did not involve other deputy generals, not because this matter was secret, but because this matter was urgent.

After that, a group of about 2,000 soldiers and horses went out of the city overnight, and Luo Hu, Chu Hong, Jiang Ming and their respective lieutenants accompanied the battle.

It is said that Lin Han's grain team only travels during the day, which naturally takes more time, and he came to the front of the Jiaozhi Mountain Range at dawn on this day, and the team has a total of nearly 100 people, all of whom he selected from the Wohua Mountain soldiers who defended the mountain road, although this matter requires Hu Yanwu's consent, but when he brought this batch of grain and grass out, Hu Yanwu must have also known Lin Han's choice. Lin Han let him go, so he naturally chose to support him.

If it weren't for such a team, Lin Han would have to work a lot for the escorts to find food and grass, of course, with these professional soldiers, they would naturally be much better than ordinary people. When this team came to the Cochin Mountains, Lin Han showed a rather cautious habit, and the familiar Cochin Mountains did not seem to be as calm as they seemed.

The tentative grain officer of this team said: "Sixth Commander, I don't know what happened, according to the itinerary, the mountain road in the Cochin Mountains is extremely difficult to travel, and it will take about two days to get out, if you waste time here, I am afraid that it will delay the matter of the commander." ”

Lin Han frowned tightly, signaling the soldiers not to make noise, at this time, the birds and birds in the mountains and forests were frightened, Lin Han slowly raised his head, and said: "The forest is not deep, there may be an ambush in this mountain forest." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were all terrified, thinking that it was an easy mission, but they would encounter this kind of thing, which made them full of worry.

Lin Han said: "A few of you, hurry up and find the soldiers in the mountain road, report the situation to the commander, and let him lead the troops to help." Reinforcements did not have to go deeper, and only fought east of the Cochin Mountains. ”

After a few soldiers left, the provisional commissar asked: "Sixth Commander, what should we do now?" I am afraid that it is not practical to take a detour, we do not know where the enemy is, and the march should also be dangerous, so it is better for us to wait here for the support of the Grand Commander." ”

Lin Han said: "It's too late, they have already discovered us, it seems that the news of my grain transportation has been known by the sentinel early, the previous forest bird frightened is an omen, we can't make a detour now, otherwise the reinforcements will lose their bearings." Of course, we can't stay here, and when the enemy comes around, we will have a lot of trouble. The whole army obeyed my orders, took their weapons, and followed me into the mountains and forests. On this path, there is a natural cliff that can be temporarily relied on as our defense. ”

Just as Lin Han's grain team slowly walked into the mountain range, one by one the sentinels hiding in the mountains and forests passed the news to the Daming Cave military camp, and Lin Han, as the sixth commander of Wohua Mountain, naturally has great value, not to mention that the grain and grass of nearly 200,000 stones are enough to attract the attention of the poisonous dragon.

The army stationed in the Daming Caves in the Jiaozhi Mountains is also hundreds of miles away from the main force of the Daming Caves, and the supply of grain and grass is naturally a rather distressing problem, Lin Han's arrival made the poisonous dragon once again have the idea of greed, if it can be done well, this time not only can get 200,000 grain and grass supplements, but also kill a Wohua Mountain commander, and even hit the Wohua Mountain army again.

After a simple plan, the three generals Jiao Pingwen, Yue Dian, and Qiu Wenmink set off with nearly half of their troops. When Lin Han occupied the cliff, this time he saw Lin Han's intentions, this narrow road is a natural defensive position, no matter how many people come, they can't charge, and as long as there is a fierce general, it can play a great role in restraint.

This cliff mouth has a rather terrifying name, because the legend once had a scene of a hundred tigers fighting in this place, there were many vicious tigers who died on this cliff, so it was called "the mouth of the dead tiger" by the people in this area, meaning the place where the tiger died and died.

Jiang Ming stuck the silver-white brake gun on the ground, and he sat cross-legged under the cliff, and said to the soldiers: "Wait for the grain and grass to be placed, you will separate half of them to explore in the front, and half to rest in the back, this will be a long tug-of-war, as long as you can raise your shield in time to restrain the opponent's archers, I alone can block thousands of troops." ”

The soldiers obeyed the order, and although they did not dare to refute it, they were now full of fear. They are not Lin Han's subordinates, nor are they the elite soldiers of Huyanwu, their combat ability is actually only the middle and lower level of Huyanwu's entire battalion. Although Lin Han and Hu Yanwu are putting aside their personal feuds for the sake of the overall situation, these small problems still exist.

"Alas, now we have to wait for reinforcements. Although Hu Yanwu will come, he will definitely not make a move if he is sure that I still have the strength to spare, and his army is still some distance away from here, so I am afraid it will be difficult to arrive in time. I don't know if Liang Jin and they can find out in time to rescue, but their speed should depend on Jiang Ming. ”

With the mourning tiger's mouth in the Jiaozhi Mountains as the center, the three generals of Luohu rushed from the west along the Jiaozhi Road, Huyanwu came from the east to support from the Wohua Mountain Road, and the three generals of the Daming Caves quickly surrounded the mourning tiger's mouth, and a bloody battlefield opened again.

But there is a soldier and horse in the north that has not been discovered, they are the most elite existence among the barbarians, they secretly walked out of the city of the four seas, and gathered here with halberds, among which the six barbarian commander Chi Dun and the fourteen barbarian commander Nu Ergon are all here, and Wu Guipeng, the disciple of the arrow king, also came here with a bow and arrow on his back at this time, Liu Yuxin hid in the mountains and forests, and his face was solemn.

Chitun was a lean, bronzed-skinned man, his eyes were like torches, and said, "Our mission this time is very simple, wait for the reinforcements from Wohua Mountain to come, find Chu Hong, the eighth commander of Wohua Mountain, and kill him. Wu Shaoxia, Mr. Liu, wait for Chu Hong to appear, and you will shoot with me. ”

Wu Guipeng and Liu Yuxin nodded yes, and this war seemed to break out like this.
