Verse 16: Deep in the Red Mountain

Nusi returned to Luoshui from Jiangting on July 22, where he met Vark who had fled from the mouth of the Luohe River. The memorial order of the Blue Horse Empire has also been delivered to Luoshui on the 20th. The whole country mourned, and King Howard VI ordered the whole country to stop for a day on the 20th, and all parties, gambling houses, and auction houses ,、、、 closed for one day.

Listening to Vacker's statement, Nus fell into deep thought.

Perscana grew up with him, and the two of them studied and practiced together since childhood. Perscana was originally his entourage of scholars.

After the age of 16, Perscana showed her amazing talent for cultivation to the world. He was so hard that Nus barely remembered how he had a good day. At the age of 18, he surpassed him and became a monk of Yuan Artistic Conception, for which his father scolded him a lot. At the age of 25, he broke through to the Dao Power Realm, and after that, he almost watched him and his cultivation get farther and farther away with his own cultivation with desperate eyes. At the age of 45, he broke through the Dao Domain to become a grandmaster, broke away from his family, and the empire gave him the title of territory, and the Seventh Infantry Brigade also formed an army of his own by him, becoming the first commander of the empire with less than 10,000 full personnel, and the only general in the grandmaster realm.

He had cursed him to die sooner than once, though he seemed so kind every time he saw him. But when Perska Na's bad news came, he realized how much he missed him, grabbing candy to eat and playing with mud together when he was a child, and the picture seemed to be right in front of him. But I will never see that silent, humble, peaceful face again, and I will never 、、、、 again.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of Nuth's mouth.

On July 24, Nusi, the commander of the Blue Horse Nujia Army, rose from Luoshui and returned to Shengli. The Blue Horse military claimed that Nus had applied to the Empire to return to St. Rijli to worship because of his nostalgia for Perscana, and that he would return to the battlefield at the end of the service. Qin Kemu knew that Nu Si might never set foot on Huang Yao's land again, and whether he could return to Shengli was two.

On July 26, there were only a few high-ranking members of the Blue Horse military in the hall of the Luoqing Mansion, and Yemen looked at the imperial general who died in a foreign land for the sake of his family and the blue horse.

Nus's death was not announced, and the Empire did not carry out any memorial service for Nusi. Buried in the Imperial General's Mausoleum, next to the Perskana cemetery.

During his lifetime, Perscana followed Nusi Rongma all his life, even if he became a grandmaster, when Nusi needed him the most, like a servant, he waved his army south by himself, and after his death, Nusi silently waited beside him, I really don't know if this ending is a kind of repayment, or a kind of fate that can only be completed by life and death.

Yemeni Wang stood in the crowd of people who came to pay his respects to Perskana, looking at the tombstone next to him with no name and no signature, and couldn't help but cry like rain.

After the 7th Infantry Brigade was completely annihilated, the Blue Horse people did not deploy defenses at the mouth of the Luohe River, and the 37th Mobile Regiment of the original Nusi and the Wensaper Division of the West Sea Cavalry built a 300-mile-long mobile defense line along the Luohe River in the Luoqing, Shacaotan, Xiama, and the area, forming a practical blockade of the Red Mountain.

Liu Qingshan looked at the map, the approach of the Blue Horse people was very simple, that is, in all the villages from Luoqing to Xiama near Luohe, they established strong fortifications, which were equipped with giant crossbows, and then the 37th Regiment and the Xihai Cavalry maneuvered and detoured, and arranged a large net around them with each village as the node and two cavalry as the axis, with a total strength of up to 8,000.

After a bloody lesson, the Blue Horse people no longer treat them as trench digging troops.

Due to the annihilation of the 7th Infantry Brigade, food supply is not too big a problem for the time being, and it can support the beginning of spring next year. Currency, which is now in line with the will of the military and civilians of Hongshan, is not a problem under the current limited production conditions of Hongshan, and the refugees in the new village are not enough to make the economy of Hongshan, which has begun to get on the right track, out of balance. The only thing that is lacking is a large number of winter heating materials. Winters in the northern continent are cold, cold enough to freeze to death.

Before the cold comes, you must prepare enough cotton clothes and cotton pants. But now the Red Mountain is blocked by the Blue Horse people, and the war began in early summer, whether it is the refugees they bring with them or the capture of previous wars, there are few supplies in winter.

Lifting the tent, Liu Qingshan looked at the land in front of him that had been watered by their blood, the misty smoke, the pedestrians coming and going, the layers of verdant greenery, and the children playing in the mud on the gentle slope. How long can the world in front of you exist?

On July 29, the people of Hongshan held a national meeting, which was held in the open air at the military exercise ground. Su Pingdu had already changed more than 100 sonic stones to diffuse and store sounds. The people who spoke at the conference were so enthusiastic.

Mi Sixiao, a well-known hunter in the refugee camp.

"、、、 yes! I'm talking about the beating to the north. Finished! After Mi Sixiao finished speaking, he put down the sound wave stone and left, because the sound wave stone was not stable and rolled on the podium, Mi Sixiao hurriedly returned and pressed the sound wave stone with his hand, which caused a burst of laughter from the people on the military field.

The Yellow Sea Beast, the shopkeeper of the Xincun Animal Goods Acquisition Store, spoke quickly, "This kind of skin, it is quite warm when people wear it in winter, it is a subspecies of the otter rabbit, called the gray shell rabbit, I heard that it is not enough to eat and said that it is in the west of the mountain, and the number is not very much、、、、"

Kunna, a native of the Shatu tribe from Xiza, is now a hunter in a refugee camp who likes to hunt alone, and is a rare master among hunters. Picked up the sonic stone and looked back and forth curiously, "Ahem, uh-huh, I've been as far as the place where I can get to the fat water too fast, there are not many powerful beasts in the Red Mountain, and the most powerful ones are trees and flowers." I've been to the westernmost 、、、" Kun Na paused, as if reminiscing, "It seems that I am almost to the west after Huaiting, but I didn't dare to go to the central area, I just interjected it." ”

The refugees have become more and more active from the beginning of their caution, and this kind of meeting that allows them to participate in it not only makes them feel fresh, but also feels a sense of trust, value, and pride.

This meeting was advocated by the dogs, and at first the top brass of Red Mountain was not very approves, what use can a group of ignorant refugees be? But Liu Qingshan supported, during which he only said briefly, "We have to believe in them, most of us also come from them, there is no shortage of people like you and me, they are silent here, not because of ability, but because of fate." ”

Su Ping, Huo Wuxiang, Feng Zhanyun, it took two days to roughly summarize the content of the speeches at this meeting, and then pick out those that are useful. Tie Yulan was tired and was about to climb down. To stimulate this sonic stone, you need to use yuan power, Rao is her martial qi realm sixth-level cultivation, and she is tired enough after two days.

The impact of the conference on Red Hill was still beyond everyone's expectations, and in the days after the conference ended, refugees continued to come to the garrison barracks to offer advice. Among them are ideas, solutions, problems, contributions to excess heating supplies、、、、

Yu Wenhua is responsible for the garrison's military supplies, so the materials donated by the refugees are also managed by him, from the first time he came here, only holding a thin torn cotton pants that can no longer be thin, to the current cotton clothes and cotton pants Xiaoshan, Yu Wenhua was stunned. He was stunned not only by the amount of materials received, but also by the experience of the past few days, from those simple people he saw a super united Red Mountain, and he now has enough reason to believe that the winter of Red Mountain will not be too cold, and the temperature emitted by this group of refugees ignited by trust is warm enough for Red Mountain to be as warm as spring.

Next, Hongshan issued a series of orders and regulations, raising the purchase price of gray shell rabbits, strictly prohibiting soldiers or refugees from cutting down trees around the camp for no reason, and the stagnant refugees used animal skins to make various non-heating sun and moon, such as animal skin wooden benches, etc., and at the same time, a special army composed of hunters and garrisons was born. On the day of its establishment, Liu Qingshan personally lectured, "The Blue Horse people have deployed heavy troops along the Luohe River in a vain attempt to trap us in Hongshan. What are we going to do? It's waiting for that moment to come slowly! Or use our legs to conquer the Red Mountain at our feet! ”

"Conquer the Red Mountain!"

"Conquer the Red Mountain!"

The mountain roared and the tsunami responded on the red mountain, and Tie Yulan looked at the roaring soldiers in front of him, the jumping refugees, and her heart was sour, oops! It's so warm.

The new troops were led by Tie Yulan, called the Exit Detachment, and Ding Hai, Xie Yuanhui, and Zhan Mao were among them. The dog heard that Ding Hai and they were going to enter the depths of the Red Mountain and find a way to the west, so they came to the way out detachment, and he was very curious about the kind of metamorphosible Yuan Beast that Ding Hai said last time, and after explaining some necessary precautions to the half-orc Monta, he followed.

Ding Hai carried the dog on his back and walked behind Tie Yulan, Xie Yuanhui made marks on the map from time to time, and the soldiers filled in the ravines, dug up mounds of soil, and cut down bushes in the places pointed out by Tie Yulan, and then the refugees compacted the road surface, leveled it, and dug out the drainage, so that a simple and rough path was formed behind the detachment of the way out.

In this way, two days passed, and it was about 50 miles away from the camp. The bushes grew denser, and the pace of the procession slowed down.

The dog was on Ding Hai's back, and asked Ding Hai in a milky voice, "Brother Ding Hai!" Far from it? ”。

"It's not far away, it's just in front of you." Ding Hai wiped his sweat and pointed to a forest in the distance and said.

In August, the Red Mountains were unusually hot and dry, and the air smelled of weeds. From time to time, some of the soldiers who could not intervene stopped and found an open space to lie on the ground and take a nap.

Suddenly, Kun Nahe, who was walking in the front, couldn't eat enough and made a squatting gesture towards the rear team. The whole team immediately tensed.

"What's the matter?" Tie Yulan shouted at Kun Na and couldn't eat.

I couldn't eat enough and didn't speak, I looked very nervous, and I pointed ahead while looking at Tie Magnolia. Ding Hai, Xie Yuanhui, all tiptoeing on their hair, leaned towards the lack of food.

Ding Hai suddenly whispered as if he remembered something, "Just this place, just this place!" ”

Xie Yuanhui also lowered his voice, and said a little anxiously, "What's this place?" ”

Ding Hai said incoherently, "Last time! Last time! ”

"What?" Xie Yuanhui was a little angry.

Tie Yulan whispered to Ding Hai and Xie Yuanhui, "I'm noisy!" ”。

Not far in front of it, a large bird 2 meters tall stood motionless. It looks like a Baiming flying on a mountain, but it is also too big, hundreds of times larger than a normal Baiming.

Just as Temagnolia and Dip Feather took out their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot, a hundred chimes flew to the big bird's head.

"Hiss" In the blink of an eye, the Baiming turned into a puff of white smoke on the head of the extra-large Baiming, and the body turned into black water, which flowed down the body of the extra-large Baiming, and the black water was slowly absorbed by the extra-large Baiming's body until it disappeared.

What is this? Stained hair looked at Tie Magnolia suspiciously, and Tie Magnolia shook her head.

The dog was on Ding Hai's back, and his brain quickly searched for the books he had read about the Yuan Beast and the Beast, and there were no birds that matched it.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, his body began to change slowly, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he slowly became the same person as if he couldn't eat enough.

Ding Hai couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said in a low voice, "That's it!" It is! That's the last thing I came across! ”

"Whoosh" Hair shot an arrow out.

It turned into something that couldn't eat enough and didn't dodge, and the arrow was shot in the stomach, and it didn't go too deep, and I saw that the "can't eat" pulled out the arrow with a little mechanical hand. Don't throw it away when you hold it in your hand.

The eerie picture makes the scalp tingle.

"Whoosh" Tie Magnolia also shot an arrow, Tie Magnolia was originally a high cultivation, and the accuracy may not be as good as the hair, such a close distance, if you want to talk about lethality, you can't catch up with the horse at that time.

I saw the arrow pass through the "unfed" and weakly fall on the grassy beach not far away.

The "can't eat" who was shot twice didn't move or squeak, just stood there waiting for you to shoot.

"This is not a beast! It's a tree," he reminded Kunna.

"Trees?" Slightly puzzled, he looked at Kun Na and stopped the bow and arrow in his hand.

"That's right! Should be. Kunna said affirmatively.

Everyone stood up, and sure enough, they saw that after seeing a large group of people who were "not full", their forms kept changing, changing back and forth, one time staining their hair, and one moment of iron magnolia, but they didn't move.

Tie Magnolia followed the dog, reminding from time to time, "Don't get close!" Hear me? ”

"Got it!" The dog replied impatiently, and did not turn his head, but was still busy testing the tree with a branch.

The dog is now almost certain that it is a tree that can change up to 2 meters, and the width and thickness are also 2 meters, as long as it is more than 2 meters, it is safe.

That's a tree that can be cut down, right? How can you cut down this tree that will become a tree? The dog made a bold guess.

Can't get close, this tree can secrete a transparent mucus, which is quite toxic, and the speed of body transformation is also quite fast, within two meters, just say it.

However, the dog now also felt that the speed of the tree's transformation and the speed of secreting mucus were much slower than at the beginning, and Ding Hai was not told to stop stimulating it, and the 4-meter thorn snatch continued to pierce the tree, just when Ding Hai was also tired and dying, the tree suddenly stopped changing and became a tree in the real sense.

The whole tree is two meters high, has no leaves, is divided into 4 branches, and the body of the tree is bare. No matter how much Ding Hai thorned it, the bark was black and very elastic, like elastic rubber.

The tree is so thick that not a single adult can hold it.

"Aunt Tie! Cut it off with pear blossoms! The dog turned around and shouted at Temagnolia.

Tie Magnolia, who had been guarding for a long time, had actually pulled out the pear blossom without waiting for the dog to remind her, and injected it into the pear blossom knife with enough yuan power. It is a knife to the root of the tree.

A sword shadow identical to Pear Blossom flew towards the black tree.

"Squirt!" A distinct knife cut appeared at the base of the black tree, followed by a clear liquid.

"Squirt! Gush! Gush! "Three more stabs in succession, and the black tree fell.
