They walked along the winding path of the thousand maples, and the surrounding maple trees had changed from orange to red, and the evening breeze fell leaves, reflecting a few red glows in the sky, and it seemed that the whole world had turned into a fiery red color......

Today is the fourth day, and they are about to reach the backwater beach, and as long as they go around the upwind slope in front of them, they can see the Fengjiang River.

Although Tianlan was still insisting, he couldn't be as indifferent as he had been two days ago.He pressed his heart with his hand.,Lowered his head slightly.The long black hair that hung down blocked his face.,Let others not see his extremely difficult face'.

At this time, two soldiers rushed out from behind the upwind slope, Ye Yi was just about to be on guard, but he saw that the other party was actually a soldier wearing the uniform of the Green Dragon, that is to say, the other party was the Green Dragon Army.

Naturally, the two soldiers would not recognize the three of them.

Ye Yi hurriedly put away his weapon and said, "Don't do it, don't do it, it's your own person."

The two soldiers did not let their guard down, and said, "You are not wearing military uniforms.

Tianlan took two steps forward, took out the marshal's military order that Jiao Ranjin gave him, and said, "You can see it clearly, now take us to meet the garrison general of the backwater beach immediately."

When the two soldiers saw the marshal's order, their faces immediately changed, and they knelt down in a hurry. The person holding the marshal's token was equivalent to the marshal's presence in person.

They respectfully led the three of them to the camp of the Beishuitan garrison, but surprisingly, this camp was very dilapidated, as if it had just been ransacked, and many places were still newly 'made'.

Ye Yi was greatly surprised, this sight made his newly relieved heart lift up again, and said, "What's going on.

"You..."

Before the two soldiers could reply, they saw a group of people walking out of the camp, and the two people led by them were acquaintances: Ling Jiutian and Li Wulu.

Ling Jiutian didn't expect it to be Tianlan and the others, he was taken aback, his voice was full of surprise, and so was the ruthlessness that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The reason why he appeared here was naturally not to help Ling Jiutian, he couldn't wait for Ling Jiutian to be shattered, how could he come to help him...... This time, it was just the instructions of the Warlock Guild Hall, let him help the Green Dragon Army, and this would be the 'Yin' Yang Error into the Ling Jiutian Army...... At least that's what he himself thinks.

His eyes fell on Tianlan.This was the third time he had seen Tianlan.After the first two unpleasant meetings.This time they met suddenly.It was a little embarrassing.But his attention quickly shifted to Tianlan's appearance.Obviously.His condition was very wrong.Li Wuru couldn't help frowning.

Tianlan didn't expect to meet Ling Jiutian again here, but he didn't show a surprised look, thinking that Tianchen had said that when he was arrested, Ling Jiutian was the first person to support sending troops to rescue him, so he said politely: "Lord Ling, I didn't expect to meet again.

"That's how it should be, you're not a human being, why bother to see the outside like this." Ling Jiutian had already heard that Tianlan had been rescued, but it was a pity that he was busy with military affairs, and he couldn't find time to visit him.

He noticed Tianlan's extremely bad face, and said in surprise: "Huh... You're so badly injured. You are poisoned.. No, how can your face be so ......?"

Don't talk about Ling Jiutian's appearance, even people who don't know medical skills can see it.If you want to generalize, that is: poison into the bone marrow, terminal disease...

Tianlan shook his head silently and said, "This matter is a long story, Lord Ling, you better tell me the current situation first."

Ling Jiutian couldn't help but look at Tao'er with an inquiring expression, but Tao'er, who was very lively and cheerful in his impression, was silent, shook her head sadly at him, and signaled for a while to talk.

His eyebrows and hairs were twisted together, and he said, "Alas...... Speaking of the situation, it was very bad. Originally, I led my army across the Fengjiang River to meet some of the troops withdrawn from the front line, but I was ambushed by Xuanyuan Zheng. not only did I not succeed in the response, but I also lost my troops. I was forced to flee to the backwaterbank, all the ships were destroyed, and we could not sail. Originally, our thousands of troops were now only 500 remnants and still had some combat strength.But I heard that the maple leaf forest not far away has been occupied by Tie Xing'an of Qiyang.They joined up with the Shengwei army that was chasing us a few days ago.Both of them are famous generals.And the military strength in their hands adds up to tens of thousands of ......."

Ye Yi was also worried, and said, "Five hundred against tens of thousands...... There's no chance of winning at all..The more we fight, the weaker we get.The stronger the other side gets.Don't you ask for help?"

Ling Jiutian said: "We have already contacted the nearest You Yu military camp to ask for reinforcements, but they have to transfer troops to bypass the Qianfeng winding path, and they have to come here through the Canghuan Ancient Road. The road is tortuous, and it will take at least seven or eight days to travel.

Tao'er heard him say heavily, and saw that the originally black hair on his head had grown a lot of white hair at some point, and couldn't bear to say: "Uncle Ling, you are so powerful, and you are a wind warlock, as long as you use the flying technique, can't you still retreat with your whole body?"

Ling Jiutian's face was solemn and he said, "Tao'er, you don't know, since I am a general of the first army, how can I abandon my siblings and brothers, even if I don't have the slightest chance of victory, I will fight to the death with them until the last moment." Finally, he glanced at the ruthless beside him, and added in his heart: How can the mistake of twenty years ago be made again.

Tianlan's eyebrows lowered, thinking about what Ling Jiutian said, combining all kinds of possible 'sex', his brain was spinning rapidly, hoping to find a feasible way.

The current situation can be said to be a sure defeat.Not to mention the five hundred remnants.Even Ling Jiutian himself has no hope.Just wait for a vigorous and desperate death.At least he has a clear conscience.But Tianlan has come to this day.How can he be willing to give up.If he gives up like this.Then what's the point of him coming to the back water.

The atmosphere cooled down, and just when everyone felt hopeless, Tianlan suddenly spoke:

"Actually, it's not that there is no turning point, Senior Ling, can you still contact General You Yu?"

Ling Jiutian said: "Yes, we are using a military-specific communication weapon, we can contact us at any time, do you have any way to turn the tide of the battle."

Tianlan said: "Now is the season, it is the time of the river rapids, if General You Yu gives up the land route, changes to the waterway, enters the navigation from the Jukou River, turns to the Fengjiang River, can land from the back water beach, the waterway seems to be longer, but the road is smooth, the boat borrows the feng shui, it should be able to shorten the time to three days......"

Ling Jiutian's eyes lit up and said, "It can be like this, it sounds feasible, why didn't I even think of it?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough......" Tianlan began to cough again, covering his 'chest' with his hand, very painful.

Ye Yi stepped forward to support him, lest he couldn't stand and fall, but he didn't say anything.

Ling Jiutian was shocked when he saw that he seemed to be unable to hold on, and quickly said, "Little brother Tianlan, you are..." Don't say more, go to the barracks and rest."

Tianlan stabilized his breath and said, "Ahem, cough, cough...... Thank you Senior Ling for your kindness, I'm fine...... Continuing with what we have just said, if all goes well, what we need to do is to hold our positions within three days. Tie Xing'an has just joined up with the Shengwei army, and we will not attack immediately. We need to use the ditches along the river to dig and pave the road with maple leaves.......

Ling Jiutian and Li ruthlessly glanced at each other, they could see the surprise in each other's eyes, they didn't expect that Tianlan would be able to come up with such a clever plan in such a desperate situation just by listening to what they said.

Ling Jiutian pondered: "It's really possible.In this way, I also have to inform General You Yu to disperse the night with a small boat and change the waterway.It will inevitably be 'exposed'.The matter of digging a ditch and setting a trap must be stopped overnight.If the time is right, or it can really be as you say.It's just ...... In the face of this surging river and the dangerous situation of not being able to advance or retreat, it is our most urgent task to calm the uneasiness in the hearts of the military and civilians."

Tao'er said, "What, morale is very low now, even Uncle Ling, you can't do anything."

Ling Jiutian shook his head in distress and said, "It's not just low, it's just a dead silence, although I know that there will be reinforcements, but I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

Tianlan frowned.Thinking of his six-wheeled snow qin.The evolution of the snow qin has now been completed.I don't know what kind of situation it has reached.Maybe I can help Ling Jiutian with the qin song.

"Senior Ling, just 'hand' this matter over to me."

Ye Yi guessed what he was going to do, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there a question...... You ......"

Tianlan didn't say much, just nodded to him lightly.Ye Yi knew that Tianlan did what he said.It was impossible for others to stop him.So he had to be silent.

The current situation does not allow anyone to back down.Ling Jiutian doesn't know what he can do to get the soldiers back up.At this time, there seems to be no other way but to choose to believe.
