When it was getting dark, it began to rain, and it became heavier and heavier, and by the time it was time for dinner, it was as if water was pouring water down from the sky.

"In such a heavy rain, you can't stretch your bow, you can't raise your fire, and you can't stand in formation...... Going up the mountain at night like this is tantamount to calling everyone to die. ”

With a calm face, standing alone in the heavy rain, Xue Ranwei said.

This is a makeshift barracks, because it was built in a hurry, there is no end to the dripping indoors, since the rain first started, the soldiers' scolding has not stopped, but even if it is dripping, it is better than being poured on the body by the pouring water outside.

"However, I still want everyone to go up the mountain."

Distributed in a circle with a gap, the centripetal center of all the barracks is an open space with a diameter of about thirty paces, and now, all the soldiers are crowded in the barracks--- so are the officers, although a few people wanted to come out and stand with Xue Ranwei, but they were scolded back by him.

"Everyone must go up the mountain! It's raining so hard! ”

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Xue Ranwei just opens his mouth to speak, and he will be poured into his mouth with water, the shirt on his body is already soaked, and it is even more obvious that the iron armor is cold, but his middle qi is also really sufficient, and his voice is getting higher and higher, and he actually suppressed the sound of rolling rain!

"Everyone knows that such a small village, if you want to fight down, you won't waste your strength at all, what are we afraid of? It's not that they're sticking to it! It's they who absconded! It was the big boss of Taiping Road who absconded! ”

Wiping the rain on his face vigorously, Xue Ranwei's eyes widened angrily, and he was already roaring.

"That's the undead...... That's the undead! Such an opportunity, we will never meet the second time in a lifetime! ”

Taking off the helmet and holding it in his hand, Xue Ranwei's face was sickly flushed, and there seemed to be light shining in his eyes.

"Everyone knows that I and General Wang, he herded cattle, and I was worse than him, and I was a sheep herder. The rules of the main house are big, and every day before returning to the circle, they must be checked. If the sheep is injured in the slightest, even if it is caused by hitting its head, I will have to kneel down with my head in my hands and let the butler whip it with a little whip until it is the same! ”

Taking a few breaths, Xue Ranwei slowed down his voice a little, and said with a cruel smile, but now, he can eat sheep whenever he wants, and he can eat as many sheep as he wants. Even if you only gnaw on a sheep's face and put the rest there to watch, you can afford to eat it anyway.

"Why am I where I am today? It's not because I've been rewarded for my good deeds, it's not because I've picked up gold and silver on my way! It's because I'm ruthless enough, and I'm desperate enough! It's because when I was fighting the incense thief in the north, I rushed into battle first and cut down the two incense thieves' two incense thieves! It was because when I was fighting the chanting thieves in the south, I risked my life to chase after them, and I used these two legs to chase the galloping horses, and after running for thirty miles on the mountain road, I jumped down from the slope of a few zhang high, and finally caught the leader of the chanting thieves! ”

patted his thigh vigorously, turned around again, pointed his finger at the mountain, pointed in the direction of the Taiping Dao village, Xue Ranwei roared angrily: "And now, there is Taiping Dao, compared to them, the incense thief and the chanting thief are just children's tricks." There are the undead...... His head is better than a hundred, a thousand heads of thieves and incense thieves! ”

"it...... Glory and wealth, just trembling here!! ”

With Xue Ranwei's roar, the entire military camp fell into a brief silence, and then ...... Thunderous!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't read, but I ...... But it's a transparent person. ”

Looking at Xue Ranwei's agitation and arrangement, Zhang Yuanhe commented in a low voice, beside him, Zhang Yuanjin and Ma Daokong.

After mobilizing the morale of the soldiers, Xue Ranwei made detailed arrangements, divided the troops into squads, sent them to the mountain, how to guard, how to monitor, how to call the police, how to react, etc., and explained them one by one.

"But, he's really more than that."

Xue Ranwei worked so hard to arrange, in the final analysis, he was afraid that Di Tieying and the others would abscond at night, as long as they were allowed to escape into the mountains and forests, even if they could cut down more than 100 or even hundreds of heads at that time, what was it worth?

But in Ma Daokong's opinion, such an arrangement is really redundant. It can only be said that Xue Ranwei has not really dealt with Taiping Dao.

"People of Taiping Road...... Back then, the most reassuring thing for everyone was to let them guard the back road. They never absconded first, let alone abandoned their troops and fled first. ”

Recalling that year, Ma Daokong said that the people of Taiping Dao had all died on the battlefield more than once, and as long as no new orders were handed down, they would not retreat.

"This time, they are willing to stand up, just to give those mountain people a chance to escape, if they retreat today, it will be meaningless."

It is believed that Di Tieying will not only not leave, but will also stand up again tomorrow after the rain stops a little, so that everyone can see him, only in this way can he attract all the pursuers.

"Because, Taiping Dao...... Thieves have always been so insidious and treacherous, so they can bewitch the people and get their hearts to die! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After nightfall, Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanjin quietly left the camp.

The process of infiltrating the Taiping Dao camp was far more difficult than imagined: on the mountains and in the forest, there were one or two thousand soldiers in wait, and many of them had come up with various ways to keep the lights and surveillance in the heavy rain, and "how to enter the enemy's camp" was relatively easy compared to "how to pass through one's own people's positions silently".

(In today's Taiping Dao, is there really a lack of first-class players?) ）

When I sneaked in, I was also silently observing: the outside was covered with a net, and the inside was also waiting for the day. But unlike the soldiers outside, whose eyes were so excited that their eyes were red, these people's expressions were much calmer, sitting or standing silently, some wiping their weapons in their hands, some bowing their heads in contemplation, occasionally someone talking to their comrades next to them, and occasionally hearing happy laughter...... All this made the two brothers quite unaccustomed to it.

Especially laughter.

With less than 200 people, against thousands of elite soldiers outside, they do have a good terrain...... But, that's all there is to it, right?

It was only a matter of time before they fell, but these people were as calm as if they were preparing breakfast for the next day in their own base, without fear or excitement, and everything was as normal as water.

(Big brother, look!) ）

Without Zhang Yuanjin's reminder, Zhang Yuankong had also discovered that the person who was walking by at a sentry post with an umbrella not far away was Di Tieying, that is, the immortal who made countless officers and soldiers of the two armies reddened with blood.

It is not only a check, but also a condolence, just as Zhang Yuankong guessed, Di Tieying's prestige is unimaginably high, just a few words can make those soldiers so excited that they can't speak.

"We're going to nail it here for at least three days...... We have to wait until the villagers move into the mountains before breaking through......"

The wind and rain were fierce, and he didn't dare to get too close, Zhang Yuankong could only vaguely distinguish that the other party seemed to be mobilizing, and he also heard more than one soldier stammering to persuade Di Tieying to go first, they would definitely drag it here, but in response, Di Tieying always smiled and shook his head.

"No...... If I'm gone, they'll leave......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Di Tieying was discovered, Zhang Yuanjin was obviously excited--- he was like a soldier of Taiping Dao, but he was glared at by Zhang Yuankong fiercely, and he finally calmed down. Covered by heavy rain, the two slowly moved around the stockade.

From the very beginning, Zhang Yuankong was not prepared to compete with the two armies outside for any credit, and the reason why he wanted to risk sneaking into this was more because he wanted to answer the confusion in his heart, rather than ending the battle with a beautiful beheading as Zhang Yuanjin dreamed.

"Immortal, I still want to say...... You, leave. ”

Glancing at each other, the two held their breath and slowly moved towards the house where the voice was heard, although there were two sentries standing outside, but the two took advantage of the heavy rain to escape the water, and where they could see through?

"No, if I leave, the army outside will continue to chase those folks...... You can't hold them back. ”

"But, the undead."

Speaking earnestly again, the man said that he would do something else, but the special significance of the immortal to Taiping Dao was completely different.

"The immortal, the Taiping Dao can lose us, but it can't lose ......"

"Really?"

There seemed to be a smile in his voice, Di Tieying asked rhetorically.

"Well, then, tell me about it...... What have I done for Taiping over the years? Among them, which ones can't be done without me? ”

"Immortal, that's not what you say, you're ......"

"I'm an ordinary person, a very ordinary person."

Cutting off the other party's persuasion, Di Tieying repeated it again.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

The other party was completely silent, Di Tieying slowly recalled, listing his actions over the years, and summarizing from time to time, as I said just now, there were indeed no particularly amazing deeds in it.

"I am an immortal, but an ordinary immortal...... Until now, I have never been able to communicate with my past lives, and I have no earth-shattering power...... I'm just an ordinary person, but for this ordinary person, I have sacrificed too much. ”

"No, the undead, we are the ...... of the way"

"No, you listen to me."

The voice always maintained the same rhythm, not fast, very steady, Di Tieying said: "I don't plan to die here...... You can rest assured. ”

When these words were said, although Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanjin were outside, they also obviously felt that the other person in the room breathed a long sigh of relief, but then they heard Di Tieying say again: "But I have to come after the break." ”

"This determination, I have made up my mind since I saw them start killing the villagers."

Whether it is Di Tieying himself or the other Taiping Dao backbones, they all know one thing very well: only Di Tieying, only him, can hold back the entire army outside, and buy more time for the mountain people who are evacuating in the rear.

"I have carried too many hopes and sacrifices, but I have never been able to repay such hopes and sacrifices."

"Over the years, I have always been able to escape, I have always survived, and for me, there have been too many fellow sacrifices."

"It's my turn."

"But, the ...... of the undead"

Shaking his head, Di Tieying actually smiled a little more in his voice, and said, "What are you anxious about, do you think I'm dead?" Maybe, I will break through in front of the battle and become the strongest in the world in one fell swoop! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He's really going to die."

Having left the village, the two walked silently through the forest, Zhang Yuankong was looking at the soldiers under the rainstorm who tried to keep their eyes open, but could not catch their traces at all, and Zhang Yuanjin suddenly said so cluelessly.

"Hmm...... Yuanjin, tomorrow morning, you can go back. ”

Snorted, Zhang Yuankong's answer was also that the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, and then, Zhang Yuanjin didn't speak again, just like that, in silence, it melted into the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, when the rain was still falling, the besieging army did not choose to attack, but continued to dig long trenches and build fortifications. When it was almost noon, someone miraculously came from the city and brought the latest news.

"Wang De and Saifuding have all led their troops on the road, and Pegasus has arrived, in addition to the messenger, there are also craftsmen."

While talking about the news he had just heard, Ma Daokong looked outside: several groups of soldiers were cutting down trees in the rain, and after a while, those craftsmen would command them to use these trees to process temporary siege equipment, according to estimates, today and tomorrow, they should be able to make enough equipment, and by tomorrow at the latest, Wang De and Saifudin will arrive, and at that time, it is time to launch a general attack.

“…… Two days to go. ”

"Look, I ...... Guys, do you want to make some effort? ”

After listening to Xue Ranwei's mobilization, Ma Daokong seemed to have made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to earn a credit for himself.

"Chance...... There will be. ”

Look at him, Zhang Yuankong told him that probably today, at the latest tomorrow morning, there will be a chance.

"Strange alliances......"

Before the words fell, someone outside the door was already reporting respectfully: "Da Zhenren, General Xue, please, Awanhu please." ”

"Look, Mototsu."

Smiling sarcastically, while walking outside, Zhang Yuankong said: "In order to deal with the main generals who rushed to the rear to grab merit, the two armies, which were originally in a state of fire and water, actually united!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"These thieves are in a good camp."

"That's what General Wang said."

As Zhang Yuankong said, in the afternoon of the same day, using a few siege equipment created by the hastily soldiers, the two armies organized an attack--- of course, no one imagined that such an attack would be rewarded, all they wanted was to find out the distribution of the opponent's forces in the attack, and find out the weaknesses in the defense as much as possible.

"Now is the time to fill it with human lives, I don't dare to alarm the real people, but after the village is broken, I will be tired."

"Hmm."

Just nodded slightly, Zhang Yuankong did not give a positive answer, Xue Ranwei didn't care about this, and smiled at Ma Daokong again: "Brother Ma, when the stockade is opened, you have to take a good look at your knife skills!" Ma Daokong didn't dare to be as cold as Zhang Yuankong, bowed down, and said with a shy smile: "It is incumbent!" ”

Where several people were, a hundred steps away from the battlefield, Amiridin, Xue Ranwei, Zhang Yuankong, as well as Ma Daokong and seven or eight officers, were all standing here, there was no Zhang Yuanjin, because he had already set off to return to Wurong this morning, but Carmen still stayed, at this moment, she was standing a little farther away, looking at the battlefield, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After attacking for a while, to see that the sharpness had been lost, Amari Ding raised his voice to give an order, allowing the soldiers in front to supervise the return of the mountain people who were forced to push the siege equipment, and said with a smile: "These thieves, they are really well guarded...... But I think they'll be able to hold a few rounds!

Zhang Yuankong had a calm face and didn't answer, but when he saw Ma Daokong coming up, he whispered: "Real person, two generals, I just suddenly thought of something." ”

"The name Tian Feng...... Have you heard of it? ”

"Hmm, no impression, you're trying to say ......"

was searching for the people he knew in his mind, Zhang Yuankong suddenly felt something different, and when he heard several people exclaiming, "What are you doing......", there was a pain in his waist, and he had eaten a steel knife and slashed in!
