Chapter 60: Breaking the Trap Array!
When Twilight and Moon Kill crossed the mountain, the golden crow began to rise, and the long grassland was covered with a golden glow, looking at thousands of miles.
The scenery of a thousand miles is a little delicate.
The stretching Gewa River divides the Hucha grassland into two banks, and on this bank, there are forests of arrows, corpses and thousands of people standing. On the other side of the shore, a man sat alone, with an arrow on his shoulder, undressing.
A river of Gwa, separated by the battlefield of dawn, a thousand against one.
Twilight's heart sank, and she quickly descended the mountain, and when she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she smelled the bloody smell in the wind. When they walked down the mountain, they saw that a group of elite soldiers had just pulled out the arrows on the ground and piled them aside, and the bodies of the dead recruits were carried back in pairs.
"General Lu." Twilight went to Lu Da's side.
Lu Da saw that it was her coming, his wrinkled eyebrows loosened, but his face was still iron-blue, and his chin full of beard was a little far away on the other side of the Gewa River, and said: "You guessed it, that person is Hu Yanhao, the bearded cub sitting opposite!" ”
Twilight followed the look, saw the sparkling riverbank, half of the grassland accompanied by the golden crow, the man was backed by golden light, his upper body was naked, holding a pot in his hand, looking at the opposite bank, the liquor was poured on his shoulder, he lowered his head and bit the tail of the arrow, and suddenly pulled it!
The sharp arrow scraped the flesh and blood, the blood beads were like threads, and the man's teeth were white, the left eyebrow bone was a hideous long scar from the cheek, the eyes were bloodthirsty, a little remnant of the morning sun, and the wind was bleak for thousands of miles of grassland, and the man turned around, as if he saw a blue wolf.
The wolf, the beast, the bloodthirsty and cruel, didn't need to know who he was, Twilight looked at the man, and knew it was him!
"Lao Tzu pierced his shoulder with an arrow, but a short arrow came out of nowhere in this grass, killing a hundred of our recruits, and almost a hundred were injured!" Lu Da gritted his teeth and stared at the opposite bank, the organs on the grassland blocked their way, here to the river bank forty or fifty zhang, Hu Yanhao was already outside the range of the longbow, thousands of elite soldiers pulled the bow and shot, all the arrows fell into the Gewa River, not a single hair hurt him, it was really annoying!
Twilight looked down at the ground and picked up a short arrow, which was much shorter and more delicate than an ordinary bow, only an inch long, and the body of the arrow was small, and she knew that compared to the range of the bow, it was faster than the arrow. She has never seen such short arrows in the army for more than a month, and they are not like things in the Northwest Army.
"This short arrow is often used by Hu people's cubs, the range is short, but the speed is fucking fast! The seat is only the size of a palm, buried in the yellow sand, and if you accidentally step on it, it will be a life, and it will shoot people's throats! The five Hurong people, the Di people, the Una, the Ledan, and the Yueshi have their own strengths. Di people are good at making blades, this short arrow is made by them, I have only seen it in the desert before, and Lao Tzu didn't expect to be buried here! Maybe it's us who have entered the urn tonight! Lu Da clenched his fists, the joints clicked, and the wind blew on the grassland, and the sound was like muffled thunder.
Twilight squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of turf, looked at it for a while, and said, "No, it's not us he's waiting for, it's our army of 50,000." ”
Lu Da looked down at her, hurriedly squatted down, and saw that under the turf that Twilight had turned over, there was a palm-sized piece of triggered, she pointed to the grass roots under the grass and said: "The mechanism is buried under the grass, and the turf must be cut in advance, but the general can only open the gap of one finger when he looks at this turf, and the grass roots at the edge have grown into the soil." This shows that the organ has been buried for some days, and it is by no means buried in the past three or two days, but it should have been buried before we arrived at Qingzhou Mountain. The new army is training while marching, and the Hucha grassland is an excellent training place, and this is the only place to enter the northwest. ”
If Hu Yanhao knew that there was a round-up tonight, he would definitely not show up. He doesn't use himself as bait to lure the army into the agency's ambush grounds, because he's obsessed with control and can't tolerate being the prey of being chased, even if it's acting.
Tonight's events are just a coincidence.
Hucha grassland is vast, a thousand miles at a glance, Lu Da wants to surround people here, forcing Hu Yanhao to have nothing to hide, but he doesn't know that Hu Yanhao is as cunning as a wolf, and his ambition is boundless, he not only killed one person in the mountains for five miles, wanted to disturb the hearts of the new army, but also wanted to give the 50,000 army an unexpected "surprise" here. It's just that he didn't expect him to be exposed, and was driven here by Lu Da with troops, he entered the Jedi, but he also entered the birthplace, these organs that had been buried for a long time saved his life, but he was exposed early, and he didn't wait for the 50,000 army, and only fed 7,000 people.
Lu Da's face was gloomy, and he turned over a few pieces of turf next to him, the situation was the same, the grass roots on the side had regrown into the soil, and they could barely be opened.
This kid is right, the mechanism has been buried for a while.
But Lu Da's wrinkled brows were not relaxed, if the organs have been buried for a while, then there are three questions - how many organs have been buried in the Hucha grassland? Who helped Hu Yanhao transport these short arrows? Who revealed the news of the army's entry into Qingzhou Mountain for military training?
Lu Da originally thought that the news of tonight's round-up had been leaked, but now it seems that he is thinking too much, but in this situation, it is not as good as he is thinking too much! If the news of the round-up spread last night, at least it can be determined that the spy is among the two thousand elite soldiers and two battalions of recruits, and now in addition to confirming that the murderer is Hu Yanhao, the matter of the spy is still in the same place.
Bang!
Lu Da smashed his fist into the grass, the yellow mud grass clippings scattered into the wind, and when he heard the crunch of the mechanism under the grass, Lu Da got up and looked angrily at the other side of the river.
On the other side, Hu Yanhao spit out the bloody arrow on his shoulder to the ground, raised his head and poured a sip of spirits, swallowed it with the blood on his lips, and looked at the corpses that were dragged back on the other side, smiling and bloodthirsty. Seeing Lu Da looking at him, he smiled at Lu and mocked him.
Lu was furious, but did not go to the other side of the river, and the early morning round-up triggered more than 100 short arrows, I don't know how many are buried on the grassland, where they are buried, and recklessness will only kill more people.
These sons and daughters who went to the border pass with enthusiasm did not see the gate of the border pass, so they folded on the Hucha grassland.
Lu Da turned around, looked at the corpses of the recruits who had been carried back on the ground, and ordered the whole army to retreat to the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, morale is low.
In the early morning round-up, Hu Yanhao was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, fled to the other side of the Gewa River, and confronted the new army arrogantly alone. The new army in the northwest suffered 127 dead and 89 wounded, and 7,000 were prevented from calling for the grasslands, unable to advance a single step.
Lu Da and the generals of the army gathered under the tree to discuss, and more than 40,000 troops were still marching behind the mountain, and they would arrive in about two days. However, there are buried organs on the Hucha steppe, and I don't know where they are buried, and how wide the scope is, and the march of the army will be hindered after it arrives.
At the moment, there are only two roads, either break the mechanism, or retreat to the mountains and choose another way to the northwest.
Most of the generals around Lu Da were in favor of the latter, but they had deep concerns. The army has chosen a new path, and it is bound to prolong the time of returning to the border pass, and the war at the border pass is changing rapidly, and the army is a day late, so what can be done if the military plane is delayed? And Hu Yanhao is still on the other side of the river, the mechanism is set up by him, he naturally knows where it is buried, if the army retreats to the mountain, what should he do if he continues to sneak back and kill people?
"Huyan cub alone can force our 50,000 army to advance and retreat, if we retreat, our morale will be greatly damaged! The border pass is tight, and the army is practicing on the way, and I thought that the morale of this new army would be sharpened on the road, but before I reached the border pass, the army's heart let the retreating army be dispersed. ”
"Then don't withdraw, break the mechanism!"
"What's the break? Peel open all the grass on this side of the Gerva River? Do you dare to promise not to touch the mechanism, not to die? ”
"What's wrong with the dead? How can there be immortals in marching and fighting? All of us in the Northwest Army are iron-beaten men, are there any people who are afraid of death? ”
"I'm not afraid of death, and I can't just send my life to the arrow of that Huyan cub! The life is used to kill Hu Lu, not to feed the Hu people's cubs! Let's follow the general to march and fight, when did we encounter a machine formation, and the general let us take our lives? If we treat the new army like this, what face will we have to meet the general when we go back? ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then you give me an idea! What to do? ”
The general stopped talking, and everyone looked up at Lu Da.
Lu Da was silent, standing under the tree and looking in the direction of the army's march. He had already sent someone to deliver a letter to General Gu, waiting to see what the old man had to do.
The generals didn't know what Lu Da was pondering, but they saw him suddenly turn around and go to the flat ground where the wounded soldiers were placed.
Fortunately, I was afraid that someone would be injured last night, so I brought a military doctor with me, and I picked a few skilled hands from the two thousand elite troops in the northwest to help, so I didn't have to hurry. But the medicine was not enough, and many of the recruits who took the arrows at the back passed out, and the scene was unbearable to watch.
Under the tree, Zhang Tong sat with his head bowed, looking at the lost soul. One hundred and twenty-seven, who had died after he had fallen, pressed the recruit beside him, but exposed the recruits behind him to the arrows. The glimmer of light on the edge of the grassland, the wind above his head, the hoarse sound from his throat behind him, and the muffled sound of his body falling to the ground became an echo in his mind.
On the grass not far away, a bloody arrow was thrown on the ground, Liu Heizi bit the white cloth in his mouth, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like beans. Shi Dahai pressed him, and he was hit by two arrows, one in the shoulder and one in the ankle. The arrow in the shoulder did not penetrate and was not seriously injured, but the bone was injured in the foot.
The military doctor said that the injury on the shoulder was fine, but the foot was not healed, and he was afraid that his foot would be lame if he got better in the future.
A fifteen-year-old boy, his father and mother went early, and his brother and sister-in-law kicked him out of the house, counting on the northwest army to make a name for himself, and this arrow wanted his future.
When the arrow was drawn, he fainted, and he did not know the cruel truth. Shi Dahai was excited, and he wanted to go down the mountain to fight with Hu Yanhao, Han Qichu persuaded him on the side, he was a literati, and he couldn't persuade the strong Shi Dahai, so he turned his head and shouted to Du Qing for help.
Twilight didn't seem to hear it, and suddenly bent down, picked up a bloody arrow on the ground, and turned to leave.
The young man's figure was thin, his sleeves were tied around his wrists, and he walked clearly without wind, but it seemed that a fierce wind suddenly rose, and the mountain wind was low.
She lifted the arrow, went down the mountain, entered the grassland, and saw Hu Yanhao sitting alone on the other side of the river from a distance, so she also sat on the ground!
Hu Yanhao raised his eyes and saw a young man across the vast grassland on the other side of the river, the young man sat on the ground, looked at him from a distance, raised a short arrow from afar, and thrust the arrow into the ground!
Phew!
He couldn't hear the sound of the short arrow piercing into the ground, but he felt the blood welling up in his heart, lighting up his cruel and bloodthirsty eyes.
Battle post!
The Northwest Army, a recruit, is giving him a battle post!
Hu Yanhao showed a solemn smile, interesting!
On the hillside, Lu Dada walked over, and saw Dui Qing sitting on the ground and Hu Yanhao across the bank, his brows twisted into a knot, "What are you kid doing!" Go up the mountain for Lao Tzu! ”
"No!" Twilight Qing didn't reply, staring at Hu Yanhao and not moving.
"What are you staring at him? Can you stare him out of a hole? Lu Da was depressed, just now Han Qichu came to him and said that this kid went down the mountain, which shocked him into a cold sweat, and there were short arrows everywhere under the mountain, this kid didn't want to live?
Fortunately, he didn't go crazy, he just sat on the edge of the battlefield and didn't rush to the depths of the grassland.
"Go back with Lao Tzu!"
"No return!"
"This is a military order!"
Twilight was silent, still sitting cross-legged, her back like a stone.
"You kid dare to disobey Lao Tzu's military orders?" Lu Da was furious, if it was someone else, he would have greeted him with a fist earlier, and dragged back the military stick to serve!
But this kid! This kid...... He was reluctant!
"The military order is not as important as breaking the formation, I will not return." Twilight spoke.
In a word, Lu Da's face changed suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment, he sat down on the ground, side by side with Twilight, staring at her with burning eyes, "Is there a way?" Say it! ”
He didn't doubt what Du Qing said, this kid is too godly, he is too good, his gambling skills are higher than him, and his leading troops are stronger than Zhang Tong, and even Hu Yanhao was found out by her! If it weren't for her, the Northwest New Army would probably have a wave of deserters! If it weren't for her, the army would have been hit hard when it marched to the Hucha grassland!
She said she could break the formation, Thaksin!
"If you want to break the formation, you need to wait." Twilight Road.
"What are you waiting for?"
Twilight didn't answer for a long time, and after a while, she looked up and looked at the blue sky of the grassland.
"Wait for it to rain."
Wait for it to rain.
And so on, and waited until two days later, when the army arrived.
More than 40,000 troops were stationed in the Qingzhou Pass, and did not set foot in the Hucha grassland, but the old general led a few personal soldiers to the mountain where the 7,000 troops were stationed.
Lu Da accompanied General Gu to look down on the slope of the mountain, and Gu Qian asked, "That kid has been sitting there?" ”
"Well, it's been two days, and I'm as strong as a donkey, and I can't pull it back." Lu Da was depressed, but helpless. He said that when it rained, he was confused, and she didn't say anything if he asked too much, and asked her to come back and wait for her to stop doing it, and insisted on looking at Hu Yanhao for two days, so that he personally led elite soldiers to guard the mountains every night, there were wolves on the grassland, and they could shoot a lot of wolves in one night. Thanks to this kid, the big guy has eaten a few meals of wolf meat in the past two days.
"You are a dignified deputy general of the Northwest Army, and the military order is an ornament?" Old General Gu glared, and his white beard was blown straight by the wind.
"Military orders are not as important as breaking formations." Lu Dan took Twilight's words to gag him.
"Do you think this kid can really break Hu Yanhao's trap array?"
"Do you dare to make a bet with Lao Tzu? I bet she could! ”
General Gu glanced at Lu Da, snorted for a while, and walked away with his hands, "The old man looks at the military stick you suffered in Bianhe City, gambling is forbidden in the army, I want the old man to tell you a few times!" ”
Lu Da's face suddenly darkened, and he can also call a bet a bet?
But I saw the old general Gu walking away, and the direction seemed to be the camp tent of the wounded soldiers, and after a while, the figure of the old man was covered by the shadow of the tree, and he gradually disappeared.
At the door of the camp for wounded soldiers, General Gu didn't enter the tent, looked up at the sky, and pondered in a low voice, "Can the rain break the formation?" The old man had never heard of such a thing when he followed the general, but he wanted to see it......"
The army was stationed in the Qingzhou Pass for three days, and the news that the kid who had won the drill with a weak victory and a strong victory was going to break the grassland formation spread throughout the army.
He said that when it rained, the whole army followed him and waited for it to rain, and the whole army was waiting to see how the rain could break the formation.
The daily prayers of the 50,000 army worked, and in the evening of that day, the dark clouds suddenly gathered, and a heavy downpour fell on the Hucha grassland.
The heavy rain extinguished the bonfire in front of Hu Yanhao, and a half-baked wolf leg was taken down from the shelf by him, thirsty for rain and chewing on the wolf leg, looking at the other side.
On the other side, several soldiers rushed down, wrapped in leaves and handed a hot and fragrant wolf leg to Twilight, who took it and ate it with Hu Yanhao.
"Haha!" Hu Yanhao looked up to the sky and smiled, chewing on the bloody wolf legs, his eyes gloomy and depressed. This kid is so funny that he can't help but want to taste what his blood tastes like. But the Northwest Army had archers, and he would be within their range when he crossed the river, so he could not move, but just waited to see how the boy who had been with him for five days would break his trap.
In the past five days, she has not turned a finger over the grass on the ground.
It rained heavily overnight, and in the early morning, when the rain stopped, Lu Da came down from the mountain with all the generals and asked, "How can the array break when the rain falls?" ”
"Wait." Twilight still said.
"Wait?!" Lu Da's eyes widened.
"Wait until the weather clears."
Lu Da and the generals behind him looked at each other, and the group returned to the mountain, and after a while, General Gu came down the mountain.
"Boy, the army has been waiting with you for five days, just waiting for this rain, and now that the rain is over, you have to wait for the sky to clear, do you know that there is no joke in the army?" The old man was wearing armor and holding hands, and his eyes were majestic.
"I never joke." Twilight didn't get up, didn't look back, just looked at the other side, "The old general just wait, as soon as the sky clears, there will be a large army to help us." ”
Army?
Where will there be an army to help them? In this mountain, in this grassland, there is only one new army in the northwest! When he met Hu Yanhao in the mountains, he did send a message back to the northwest, but the general was supervising the battle at the border pass, and he lacked skills, so it was impossible to come to the Qingzhou boundary!
Who else will help them?
This time, no one went back to the mountain, General Gu and Lu Da stood behind Du Qing with the generals of the Northwest Army and waited with her.
The grassland climate is changeable, last night it poured rain, this morning the sky was clear, the August sun is eager to roast people, stand all morning, all the generals wear armor, the forehead has seen sweat, the grassland is so quiet that even the wind has stopped, a thousand miles, the grass is secluded, the river is meandering, except for Hu Yanhao on the opposite bank of the river, even a person has not seen.
"Boy, you said wait for the weather to be clear, but the sky is clear." Old General Gu said.
"Well, it's sunny." Twilight said lightly.
"And what about the army you are talking about?"
"Came, didn't you see?" Twilight's voice was still faint.
Here it comes?
All the generals were stunned, looking at the grassland in the distance, but there was still no one to see.
"Not far away, near away." Twilight said, "Right at your feet." ”
The generals all bowed their heads and saw that Twilight gently brushed the grass on the ground, the blood of the dead recruits in the grass had been washed away by the rain, and the ground was only wet with dirt, and rows of ants were carrying soil out of the hole.
Before everyone could react, Twilight Qing got up and said, "Our friendly army is already busy, we can order a team of elite troops who are good at dismantling mechanisms to prepare." In the evening, we'll be able to clean up. ”
Friendly......
General Gu's beard seemed to twitch, and the generals had strange expressions, the friendly troops she said should not be these ants......
Lu Da didn't let everyone ask, he understood this kid, she could talk endlessly when she wanted to explain, and when she didn't want to explain, asking her would only suffocate herself.
After waiting for many days, it was not bad to wait for another half a day, so the generals went to prepare, and in the evening, a hundred elite soldiers who were good at dismantling organs came to the grassland to standby.
But when he saw Twilight raise his hand, he pointed to the vast grassland and asked, "Do you see it?" ”
The afterglow of the sunset shines obliquely, sprinkling thousands of miles of grassland, shining among the green grass, suddenly appearing with snow, like stars falling into the world.
The stars pierced the eyes of the generals, no one spoke for a long time, only shortness of breath, everyone stared at the stars in the grass, as if they had seen something impossible to see in the world.
The arrows of the short arrows of the trap were unexpectedly exposed in front of everyone's eyes! ――
Off topic -
Tomorrow on the 31st, at the end of the month, don't forget to vote if you have a monthly pass, it will be invalid tomorrow.
After reading today's chapter, don't think that the ant army can only move the entire organ seat out, and it doesn't have that much ability.
What the reason is, explained in the next chapter.
