The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Duan Jian is not the kind of leisurely and hedonistic character, since he has made a decision, he must change the established fate in this life and be a different Duan Jian, then he will not change his goal for other reasons, this is not stubbornness, but nature.

In just a few hours, the cage fortress, which was once regarded as a dangerous cage fortress by countless people, was completely burned to the ground by the sea of fire, and on those mountains, without the existence of fortresses and defenders, there would be no obstacle to the Tang army at all.

"Smack............. Smack...."

"Bastard things, useless rice buckets, a thousand people defending such a dangerous place, and they can still be easily taken down by the Tang Army, you still have the face to come back, come on, pull this useless stupid thing out for me, and divide the corpse."

In the Black Bull Tribe, Niu Qianjin sat in the lobby and roared angrily at the dragon kneeling below.

It's no wonder that Niu Qianjin is so angry, the reason why he is so calm and unhurried under the pressure of the Tang Army's soldiers, relying on the extremely dangerous natural danger of Prison Dragon Mountain, but now, the cage mountain range that has not been broken by anyone for many years has been completely broken by the Tang Army in half a day, if the Tang Army breaks through the dangerous road of Prison Dragon Mountain next, he will really become a ghost under the Tang Army's knife, such a matter of life, let alone a confidant and a favorite general, even if it is his own son, he can't wait to cut him directly.

"The patriarch spares his life, it's not that the slave is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really that the Tang army is too strong, they don't know what demon magic they used, they can actually make people fly into the sky, and then throw fire oil from the sky to the bottom, in this case, let alone a slave, anyone who goes over, I'm afraid there is nothing they can do, and I hope that the patriarch will see it and give the slave a chance to make meritorious contributions." At this time, Manglong no longer had the majesty of the past, his face was full of panic, and he kept kowtowing heavily and arguing.

"A bunch of nonsense, at this time, you still dare to talk nonsense, what demon law, what flying sky, do you think that the Tang people are immortals, if they can really fly to the sky, they would have flown to our prison Dragon Mountain a long time ago, and use the leading troops to attack, you yourself are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you actually want to deceive me, it is simply a crime that deserves death, come to someone, quickly drag him down."

Hearing Manglong's defense, Niu Qianjin's anger was a little stronger, and he also knew that this time the Tang army suddenly attacked the entire cage mountain, which must be strange, but he didn't expect that Manglong would be so open-mouthed.

You must know that the She people are still the oldest social model of integrating man and god, that is to say, Niu Qianjin is not only the patriarch of the Black Bull Tribe, but also the sacrifice of the Black Bull Tribe, and even compared with the position of the patriarch, Niu Qianjin attaches more importance to the position of sacrifice.

For a long time, the Niu family has relied on the position of sacrifice to exploit and bewitch the people of the Black Cow tribe, but now Mang Long said that the Tang Army will use the demon method, and there are people who can fly into the sky, if most of the Black Bull people hear it, they will question the identity of the Niu Qianjin sacrifice, after all, the Tang Army used the demon method, you are the agent of the gods in the people, but there is no way to deal with it, are you no longer suitable for the position of sacrifice, when the time comes, even if Niu Qianjin is powerful, but it is inevitable to be in a rather passive position.

It was precisely because of this that Niu Qianjin wanted to cut off Manglong's tongue, and he continued to talk nonsense.

"Please also ask the eldest brother to be merciful."

Just as Mang Long was escorted out by several big men, a voice came from the side.

Hearing this voice, all the people present were surprised in their hearts, the people who could be here were all noble people of the Black Bull Tribe, but in the face of the angry Niu Qianjin, no one dared to open their mouths to intercede for Manglong, and they didn't even have the courage to look up, let alone open their mouths to plead, and in an instant, everyone's eyes looked at the source of the voice.

At this time, the person who dared to open his mouth here to intercede for Manglong was none other than Qiqiu.

Seeing that the person who opened his mouth to intercede was a ball, Niu Qianjin barely restrained his anger, but still said in a somewhat unkind tone, "Why, my brother wants to intercede for him." ”

"Hahaha, the eldest brother is too worried, according to the tradition of our She people, the only way for the defeated to die is to wash away their shame, besides, this is a matter in the eldest brother's tribe, how dare the younger brother disturb indiscriminately." Qiqiu shook his head with a smile and said.

Hearing that Qiqiu didn't open his mouth to plead, Niu Qianjin's face was much better, and he asked with a little doubt, "In this case, why did my brother stop them from executing, could it be that there are other reasons." ”

"Exactly, the younger brother opened his mouth to stop it, but it was for the sake of the eldest brother and the entire Black Bull tribe."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Big brother has ever thought that the reason why your Black Bull tribe has been as stable as Mount Tai for hundreds of years, and countless tribes have repeatedly attacked but often fall into the sand, relying on the natural danger of this Prison Dragon Mountain, and the first natural danger is the continuous mountain range and the fortress on the mountain outside the Prison Dragon Mountain, but unfortunately now the mountain range has been taken by the Tang Army, and the next thing that can stop the footsteps of the Tang Army is the dangerous road up the mountain of the Prison Dragon Mountain, if this dangerous road is taken by the Tang Army again, the eldest brother and the Black Bull Tribe will leak on the blade of the Tang Army." Qiqiu said.

"What my brother said is good, I also understand these truths, but what I don't understand is that this matter has nothing to do with whether or not to kill this incompetent person, if you don't kill him, the Tang Army will not be able to capture this imprisoned Dragon Mountain." Niu Qianjin asked.

"There is a relationship, not only a relationship, but the relationship is also very obvious, isn't the eldest brother curious, in the previous time, the Tang army worked hard and mobilized countless soldiers, but not only did it not take those mountains and fortresses, but now why did it completely turn all the fortresses into ashes in just half a day, and easily captured those mountains." Qiqiu said.

Hearing Qiqiu's words, Niu Qianjin didn't speak, but stared at Manglong for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Niu Qianjin's appearance, Qiqiu continued, "Big brother understands, the Tang army suddenly captured those mountains and fortresses in half a day, there must be other changes, and now a thousand defenders, most of them are buried in the fire, and most of the rest of the people don't know what happened, if even the dragon is killed, where do we know the movements of the Tang army, and when the time comes, if the Tang army acts like this against us, how can we resist." ”

"Yes, what the patriarch of Qiqiu said is reasonable, patriarch, the Tang army did use something we don't know, although we don't know what that kind of thing is, but it is extremely magical, the surrounding mountains and fortresses were taken by surprise by the Tang army without knowing it, and they lost their positions, and asked the patriarch to give Manglong a chance to make up for his merits, and we must fight bravely to kill the enemy to wash away the shame." It was Mangwa who spoke, in the past, Niu Qianjin was angry, and Mangwa didn't dare to mention Manglong to intercede even if he was anxious, but now that he has the opening of the ball, he also took advantage of the situation to plead.

With the words of Qiqiu, the anger in Niu Qianjin's heart at this time has disappeared a lot, the killing intent is not as heavy as just now, after thinking about the good or bad of killing Manglong and leaving him, he said, "Okay, since the elder brother intercedes for him, then give you a chance, Manglong, I hope that in the next battle, you can fight bravely to kill the enemy, otherwise, I will definitely cut off your tendons and throw you to the back mountain to feed the wolves, you understand." ”

"Thank you for the patriarch's grace of not killing, the slave will fight bravely to kill the enemy, unswervingly, if there is a trace of slackness, he will fall into the underworld forever after death." The manglong who escaped death swore to Niu Qianjin with gratitude.

Prisoner at the foot of Dragon Mountain

After successfully taking the mountains and fortresses outside the Prison Dragon Mountain, they originally thought that they could play a triumphant song and kill directly to the Black Bull Tribe, but unfortunately, when they saw the dangerous mountain path in front of them, everyone's faces changed again, from the Prison Dragon Mountain down to the Niutou Ridge, in fact, the distance was not far, it was only five or six miles away, but the terrain of these five or six miles was too dangerous, and it was too appropriate to describe it as a husband and a man. If you are not careful, you can fall off the cliff, and the defenders standing on it will not do anything else, just throw a stone down and you will be able to kill a group of people.

"He is a milkman, I once heard people say, this Lingnan land is the land is not three feet flat, the sky is not three days clear, this weather or something is just forbearance, but this mountain range really makes people feel nesty, Lao Tzu would rather fight with the Tartar in the wilderness for ten days, than come to this kind of ghost place, damn it, I'm afraid I can't find the body when I die." Chen Guotai couldn't help but complain.

Even Chen Guotai, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is like this, not to mention other generals, and even some people have retreated, not because they are afraid of death, but because this kind of dangerous place is really more unacceptable than death.

"Okay, don't complain, now that it's decided, we have to do it to the end, don't say that the road is difficult, even if this is a ghost gate, we have to go through it, I don't believe it, our Tang Dynasty heroes are powerful in the world, and even a barbarian tribe can't be wiped out." Duan Jian said with a cold face.

"Bledore, you're a local, and you have a way to get through this dangerous road." At the critical moment, Duan Jian asked the ground snake Bledo.

It's a pity that Bledo's answer is the same as last time, and he directly shakes his head.

Seeing that even Bledor shook his head and was silent, Duan Jian could only lead everyone back to the camp, wanting to find another way.

In the middle of the night, except for the occasional footsteps of patrol soldiers, there was no noise in the entire Tang army camp, compared to other pitch-black tents, located in the middle of the entire army, Duan Jian, the governor of the Chinese army, was still brightly lit.

In the big tent of the order, Duan Jian did not rest, but sat behind the desk, staring at the map of the Prison Dragon Mountain in front of him, thinking about the way to break through that dangerous road with a tangled face, but unfortunately, some things are not something that you will definitely gain if you work hard, and if you want to break through that dangerous road, there is only one way, that is, to fill it with human life, and desperately want to rush to kill.

And this is the last thing Duan Jian wants to do, although as a general, he must take winning the battle as the highest priority, but he is not that kind of cold-blooded animal, he can't do the kind of use of generals as pawns, and use the lives of soldiers to forge his own merits, so he thought hard and thought about coming up with a way to succeed without sacrificing too much, but unfortunately, he still got nothing.

"Smack.........

The more Duan Jian thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he couldn't help but slam his fist the table covered with the map, this loud noise alarmed Duan Mu and another guard who were guarding outside, but the two of them retracted their heads after seeing that there was nothing else in the big tent.

"Could it be that God really wants to force me to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person."

Faced with such a situation, Duan Jian had only two choices, one was to withdraw his troops, but in this way, it would mean that all the previous efforts of Duan Jian and the entire Tang Army would be in vain, and at the same time, it would also make him lose his trust in the disaster victims of Macao, and this path was something Duan Jian would not choose no matter what.

In addition, that is to capture the Black Bull Tribe, if you want to capture the Black Bull Tribe, you can only fill it with human lives and forcibly open a road to death, which is also what Duan Jian does not want to see.

At this moment, Duan Jian vaguely heard that there seemed to be a noise outside the big tent, but soon, the noise disappeared, and just when he thought that he had stayed up late for a long time and had auditory hallucinations in his ears, a rush of footsteps appeared outside the big tent.

"Lang Jun, the soldiers guarding the gate came with the news, saying that someone shot an arrow at our camp at night just now, and the arrow carried a letter on it." Duan Mu came in and said.

"Uh-huh....."

Hearing Duan Mu's words, Duan Jian was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved, and he said, "Quick, quick, hurry, hand me the letter." ”

Duan Mu handed the letter in his hand to Duan Jian, saying that it was a letter, but it was not written on paper, but on a piece of white cloth, and it could be seen from the handwriting that the level of this person who wrote was really not very good, I am afraid that it was not even as good as the level of a child.

Spread it out and take a look, sure enough, the person who wrote the letter didn't pay attention to any grammar at all, and the whole white cloth was full of vernacular, if other readers saw this letter, I am afraid they would be disdainful, but when Duan Jian glanced at this letter a few times, the original sad face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a surprise that was no longer suppressed.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good, great, it's really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, I originally thought that this time I was going to be infamous on my back, but I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing to speak out, it's really good, come here, quickly invite General Chen, General Ma and other generals to come to my big tent to discuss matters." Duan Jian laughed and commanded.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
