Chapter 1283: The Far North
But this place is just a royal tomb, maybe the king of Yaoting will be angry, but it doesn't have much impact on the war between Dagan and Caohai, general, I don't know where we are going next? ”
Li Luocheng replied with a smile: "That's true, today's battle will only make King Yaoting want to kill me even more soon, and the impact on other places will be minimal." The king's account, the dead account, forget it, don't think about it yet, this time, I want to go to this place. Li Luo took out the map and pointed to a place in the extreme north.
"The Cliff of the Dead...... What is this place? ”
Li Luo pointed to a few words written on the map, and said in a deep voice: "It depends on the situation, it should be a place where the prisoners were exiled in the Yao Court. ”
Yuan Jun's expression froze, and he said, "The general wants to recruit troops?" ”
"It's not about recruiting troops, but a few people from Huyan Gati alone are really not enough to set off too big waves in the sea of grass, if you can get some news from these people, it is better than thousands of troops."
"The last general understands that the enemy of the enemy is used for his own use."
"I have no choice but to act cheaply, 40,000 people, I don't want to find some way, I'm afraid I won't survive in the early spring of next year."
Yuan Jun's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "The last general understands. ”
"Well, let's discuss it again tomorrow, it's not too early, General Yuan will rest early."
Yuan Jun bowed and went to the tent to rest.
Li Luo unfolded this map, looked at it for a long time, and remembered his past life under the cliff, but he didn't know what kind of place it was.
Since that night, Li Luo uncovered the thin layer of window paper of Yaoting Yan's family, and walked all the way, this Yaoting princess has never said a word to Li Luo, and turned a blind eye to Li Luo, but this Yaoting princess called Zhuo Na seems to be a little interested in Li Luo, and occasionally takes advantage of Yan's inattention, sneaking over to reason with Li Luo, about the idea of good and evil and the difference between right and wrong, which is not only competitive, but also has the meaning of meditation and accessibility, and the heart is really desirable. Li Luo was a little interested in Zhuo Na's origins, and he didn't know who this Yaoting princess's master was, and it was rare to be able to teach such a disciple.
Guided by the stars, the army headed north along the way, in the direction of Changsheng Cliff. The army marched all the way, and the Yao Ting clan saw it in his eyes, although he did not say it explicitly, and he still had a heart of hostility and hatred, but the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper. The speed of the Dagan soldiers' march is not much better than the Yaoting cavalry, and the order and prohibition are even better, this Dagan young general's way of leading the troops does have some doorways, looking at the Yaoting, most of the young warriors are not many people who can match it.
Li Luo and the generals discussed the matter of going to the cliff, and the generals under his command had nothing to do with it, and those who were worried just felt that in this way, they would be even farther away from the Moshang City of Xifu. There is a special person in the army to draw a marching map according to the marching route, roughly calculated that Moshang City has been thousands of miles away, there is really a sea of grass and iron cavalry to encircle and suppress, Xifu Shepherd Wolf is afraid that it is too late to rush to help, and now life and death are in their own hands.
Unlike the indifference of the generals, or even disapproval, Huyan Jiati and the others heard that Li Luo was going to the Shengya, and their faces changed, and there was an almost pious fear in the depths of their eyes. Li Luo didn't know what to do, and under careful questioning, Huyan Jiati didn't know what the Cliff of the Past Life looked like, he just heard about it, but he had never been there. It's just that the name of the Cliff of Death has been spread in the sea of grass for a long time, such as the people of Huyan Jiati who have often heard the old people in the clan talk about it since they were toddlers, where the demon lone wolf in the sea of grass is imprisoned, and they do all kinds of evil, and they are the great enemies of the tribes of the sea of grass, and no one can get close to them. If it is close, let alone a life to come out alive, there will not even be any bones left, and it will be eaten clean by the demons imprisoned in the cliff of the afterlife.
So when Li Luo said that he was going to the cliff of life, Hu Yan Jiati was so frightened that his face was pale, compared to the people who were swords in the tomb of the king of Yaoting that day, and he persuaded Li Luo bitterly, the cliff of death is really not a place where a living person should go, they are all lonely souls and wild ghosts, and the ghosts are willing to gather there in a fierce place, and the living will only go and have no return, and when the soul will not even be reincarnated, it can only be imprisoned in the cliff of death forever, and suffer endless suffering.
Hu Yanjiati's persuasion not only did not dispel Li Luo's thoughts, but made Li Luo even more curious, maybe it was really a good place to go. Since the soldiers of Yaoting are so taboo, maybe the Caohai cavalry who are chasing and intercepting will also be jealous.
Li Luo Wenyan persuaded Hu Yan Jia to mention a few words, roughly saying that he was just going to the Shengya to take a look, and he didn't plan to get too close, which stabilized the minds of Hu Yan Jia and a few people, otherwise these Yao Ting soldiers would have the idea of leaving the battle and fleeing.
Let Hu Yan Jiati and a few people be so afraid, although Li Luo said that he never had the heart to retreat, but he also added a little more caution, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the name of the cliff of death makes the grass sea soldiers talk about it, and there must be a mystery in it. However, there are not many paths for the Northern Expedition army to choose at the moment, and there is a thunderous Yaoting cavalry behind him, but I don't know how far the two are.
The march of the army is unhurried and relaxed, and when it is in the enemy's territory, it is necessary not only to not let the enemy troops behind it catch up, but also to let the officers and men in the army maintain the strength of a battle, this string can not be too tight or too loose, and it really tests the way of leading the troops of General Li Luo.
Dagan said that there is no sun and moon in the mountains, but in fact, in Li Luo's view, there is really no difference between the sun and the moon, one is on the sea, and the other is here. There is a sea of grass in front of the eyes, the grass is more than half a person high in some places, there is a swamp undercurrent under the grass, the forward probe horse has repeatedly stumbled, and several people have been damaged, walking and walking even people and horses suddenly sink into the sea of grass, and even the voice of cry for help has not had time to come out. By the time the fellow soldiers noticed the abnormality and went to the rescue, the forward Tanma soldiers had been swallowed up by this sea of grass without a trace.
The sea of grass seems to be calm, but there are actually countless unforeseeable dangers buried under it, but fortunately, in the autumn, there are many fewer mosquitoes and ants, and there are swarms of mosquitoes that can eat the cattle and sheep only dry bones, and the momentum is extremely terrifying.
There was no trace of the enemy, and some soldiers fell into the sea of grass, which added a little melancholy to the generals, and the marching speed was a little slower, so be careful to avoid these vicious places. Where the grass is lush and deep, if there are no wolves and leopards, there will be evil water, and it is about the more birds and beasts that are devoured, and the grass in these places will grow so abundantly that it can be swept under the belly of the horse.
The soldiers of the Northern Expedition all paid attention to check, and only after an occasional stumble did they see the clues. These grasses that devour people and horses are not the same as those found elsewhere.
