Chapter 126: The Drums of War Begin
Ziran looked around and asked Diexi, "Do you know the way?" ”
"The mountain behind is called Jueya Mountain, and the river in front is called Muzhi River, which means that Canglan County is backed by mountains and waters, and has an excellent time and place. After the empty came, the entire Canglan County was rebuilt, using the terrain here to defend layer by layer, and also using the formation, which was simply easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention the Baili strong crossbow built on Jueya Mountain. ”
"Ballista?" Of course, Ziran knew about the strong crossbow, but he didn't believe that there was such a thing here.
"Master built it." Diexi smiled, "He's finally found a place to build what he wants." ”
That's a good point, there were a lot of formations in the air before, and I wanted to do this, I wanted to do that. But then something happened to him, and those things became phantoms.
This was the strongest fortress of his dreams. Diexi raised her eyes and looked around, this was built by the master, and it was built according to the master's wishes, so it must be sturdy.
They also asked why they chose this place. They don't know that they can really feel how good the location is after they come. The Muzhi River in front is the best natural barrier, and the Jueya Mountain in the back is the most impregnable fortress, not to mention the rising trend in Canglan County and the dense secret passages in it.
Master built it, so it's good. Originally, I had only seen what I could see, but when I took those notes from my master's hand and looked at the ravines drawn by my father's hand, I really felt a chill in my heart, and this was the barrier that my master had built.
Ziran is silent, isn't it? She knew so much.
There was a growing noise from the direction of the Muzhi River, as well as the sound of thumping muskets, and both sides of the battle were using their strength. Ziran swallowed his saliva and asked Xiang Diexi instead, "Girl, we have to find a way to get out." ”
"Yes." Diexi looked around, "We need to find a horse first." ”
Looking for a horse, Ziran stared at her for a moment, and immediately understood. Find a horse. Because there were already some voices in the hut just now, the body was found, and the hostages escaped, so let's find the horses and rush out.
"Okay." Ziran was about to get up. was pulled down by Diexi again, "What's wrong?" "He was a little displeased, didn't he say that he was looking for a horse?
Strong crossbows were built on Jueya Mountain behind him, and cold arrows swishing above his head flew in the direction of the Muzhi River. By the Muzhi River, the sound of neighing was mixed with the screams of human voices and the neighing of horses. The roar of muskets was so incessant that it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
It's just that Ziran has a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't let go of the signal, who was it and how could he give the signal so quickly?
"You can't go ahead, and you can't go back if you want to go." Diexi shook her head at him and looked in the other direction, in the direction of the other empty room, "Gotta go there." ”
"Can't even sneak over?" Ziran didn't care, and wanted to go past without knowing it, shouldn't it be quiet?
"Nope." Die-hee shook her head. "There were too many people along the way."
The people who understood the situation in the small room had already run out of the house one after another, and the sudden war made this originally peaceful small county town suddenly chaotic, although the city gate was closed early, but these Shenwei people in the city gate were still panicked.
They have no leader.
Diexi is very convinced, and Ziran is also very convinced. King Huai is in Beijing, he doesn't know where to go, Du Chengzhe can't lead the war, and the enemy who just came Miao is difficult to distinguish. In fact, Shenwei can be lowered early, and falling does not mean losing. It's just a temporary concession, and then there's still a chance to get it back. But they don't think so, Canglan County is the last peach blossom source of Shenwei, and it is the most undetectable pure place in their hearts. Therefore, it cannot be allowed, so it cannot be lowered, even if it is guarded with blood, it is also worth it.
Another catastrophe. Diexi sighed and pointed to a room not far away, "That family has horses." ”
"You seem to know a lot." Ziran didn't move. It was like asking Die-hee on guard.
"If you want to get out, you have to rely on me. The gates are closed, and now there is only one way out, and this way is now known only to me. Die-hee was sure that only Sora knew about this road, and maybe there were other people when this road was built, but according to Sora's temper, these people who knew would definitely be killed, so now this road is the only way, and the safest way.
Ziran snorted, "What if there is no horse?" He still knows about Diexi's lack of direction, so how can she be able to tell which family has what.
"This one." Diexi gestured with his thumb to the house behind him, "There is a secret passage in the main house, which can lead to that side." As she spoke, she pointed to a distant one, "That house has a halberd in its secret room, and it's on the other side of it." She pointed in the direction of the Mu Gong River again, "There are gongs in the secret room over there, and there are ...... over there."
"Alright." Ziran interrupted her, knowing that these were enough, and it would be okay to ask slowly in the future, and the focus now was to escape.
The people who rushed out of the hut scattered to look for them, the sound of Lei Lei's war drums and the boiling voices from the riverside stirred up people's blood, and the atmosphere in Canglan County began to condense, except for the arrows that did not stop at all overhead, people's hearts began to be cold, and they began to abandon humanity.
"Catch them, damn, you can't hide in such a big place!" The voice of a big man is not far away.
Ziran bounced up and pulled Diexi to bypass the direction from which the sound came. The two of them bent back along the wall, only to bump into another person around the corner.
The three of them were slightly stunned, Ziran still reflexively raised his hand to cover the man's mouth, and the next moment, the long knife in his hand had already submerged into the man's body.
The man's eyes were glaring, and his eyes were almost bursting out staring at Diexi. It's hatred, it's anger, and there's a hint of resentment. It was as if he was cursing silently for Diexi, just like those people had cursed behind his back before, "It's her, it's this troublemaker." ”
Diexi didn't have the sadness of the last time, and there was not even a ripple in her heart. It's used to it, and a good life can be lived because it's sinking. Such days can also be lived because of habit.
Ziran didn't hesitate to pull out the knife, and a wave of warmth stained his clothes red again. A deep hole was already pulled out of his hand, and the congealed blood was dissolved again, and this time the new blood was mixed in, but it was no longer possible to tell whose it was.
"Found out, where else?" Since it was discovered, there was no need to be sneaking around, Ziran was roaring, his eyes were staring ahead, and his eyes were as hideous as if he was about to split.
"Over there." Diexi immediately pointed ahead, and her heart was already hanging in her throat. The sound of chasing behind him is getting closer and closer, but he is getting farther and farther away from his goal. (To be continued.) )
