Helianta came sooner than expected, and on the fifth day after the end of the battle in the valley, he quietly led a small group of men to the camp in the valley.

The rotten corpses on the ground and the dried black and brown blood stains clearly showed the tragic situation of that night, Helian Tuo looked at all this with a pale face, and said in a gloomy tone: "Are you saying that the other party only has two hundred people, but more than five hundred of you have been annihilated?" ”

The object of his inquiry was a Tatar soldier who had escaped from here earlier, and it was because of this person's news that Helianta knew everything that was happening here in advance, and rushed over in a hurry.

As if sensing the suppressed anger of Heliento, the little soldier replied tremblingly, "Enlightenment... Although there are only more than 200 people on the other side, they are extremely cunning, they first deceived General Atto and the Black Evil Army by pretending to be your orders, and then dressed up as them and killed us by surprise. The brothers fought to the death, and in the end, I was the only one left who could see the national teacher alive. ”

"Hmph, it's all an excuse, and it's a shame that a bunch of unarmed captives have defeated you. Since you can't hold here, what's the use of living, just go and accompany those dead waste! ”

This Helentuo actually said that if he changed his face, he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and stabbed this little soldier to death, and said at the same time: "Not only are you waste, but Atto is also an idiot!" I can't even see through a child's tricks, it's really useless! ”

"Pass my order, let the Black Evil Army reoccupy the vicinity of the second passage at all costs, and then send me a hundred elite archers from the second passage. The others pursued me in pursuit, and they certainly wouldn't have made it far. ”

Seeing that the plan that had been painstakingly prepared for months had been severely damaged, and even the highest-level military secrets were at risk of being leaked, Helianta couldn't help but be angry and anxious. After suppressing the anger in his heart, he still calmly made arrangements, and at the same time led the team to catch up with the large army composed of Lu Ming and others.

Heliantuo knew very well that no matter how powerful these people were before, they would definitely not be able to escape for a while in the face of the natural barrier formed by that swamp, unless they were as ruthless as themselves and were willing to fill it with human lives.

On the other side, Lu Ming and others led a group of coolies to fight on the edge of the swamp for four days and nights in a row, but the progress was not ideal, after paying the price of a few lives, the distance they traveled was still less than half, and from the very front, they could only see the outline of the Heavenly Seal City from afar.

"Brother Lu, the food is consumed faster than expected, and it is only enough for three days at most." The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Gao Yu also brought bad news at this time.

"Half the food ration for all."

"Yesterday it was halved, and now I only eat two meals a day."

"Then halve it again, change two meals into one meal, and let everyone overcome it, otherwise they will all starve to death before they reach Tianfeng City."

"Okay." Gao Yu was also a little helpless at this time, that is, he had to work and couldn't eat more, and he didn't know when this situation would be the end.

"Are we going to starve again?" Since obtaining Gao Yu's promise, the fifth Qianhuan has been like a fart, following closely by the man who had almost killed him, after hearing his conversation with Lu Ming, the girl who had finally eaten a few days asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's just a few days, just get through it, and I'll treat you to a big meal when you arrive in Tianfeng City." As Gao Yu spoke, he took out a loaf of bread from the [Treasure Bag] and stuffed it for her.

For the food in the [Treasure Bag], Gao Yu is not unwilling to share, but because in the face of more than 700 people, this little thing is not enough to even stuff the teeth, and taking it out will cause meaningless disputes, so it is better to add a small stove to his own people.

The next day, the second pass of the valley welcomed a full hundred top-notch Tataran marksmen, who had been armed with arrows and equipment and ready to go into battle as Helendra had previously ordered. And Helian Tuo had already locked the location of Lu Ming and the others, and sent people to secretly monitor them all the time.

"National teacher, we have all arrived, should we destroy these people now?" On a hidden hill, a general of the Black Evil Army suggested to Herenta.

"No, it's not the time yet."

"National teacher, my subordinates don't understand. If we don't make a move now, when these people arrive near the Heavenly Seal City, our secrets may be exposed, and then all the work will be wasted! ”

Helian Tuo smiled confidently: "I just want to let them approach the Heavenly Seal City before making a move." They had been working on this swamp for several days, and I was afraid that the Great Wei on the other side had already discovered that something was wrong, so this secret could not be kept anyway. It's better to let them continue to fill in this road, and when they get close to the Heavenly Closure City, we will attack again, and then attack it in one go, and then as long as we can occupy a small urn city, we will have a foothold. When a large number of people and horses arrive behind, they will be able to capture the Tianfeng City in one fell swoop. ”

Heliantuo's idea is based on facts, due to the terrain, the urn city built by the Heavenly Seal City in the swamp area is several times larger than the average, and it can completely garrison more than a thousand people, and the defense there is the weakest. Therefore, as long as they can capture that urn city, they will have a springboard to attack the Heavenly Seal City, so that even if the secret of the shortcut is revealed, they will have the upper hand.

"Pass my command, and within three days, at all costs, mobilize another 5,000 men and horses for me."

After Helian Tuo gave this order, the faces of the generals next to him turned green, and he was embarrassed: "National teacher, this No. 2 passage can transport up to 500 people in every day, and it is only 1,500 people in three days, these 5,000 people... It's really hard for my subordinates to make up enough. ”

"Isn't there still a third passage? The rest turned over from there. ”

The No. 3 passage that Heliantuo said was the col where Lu Ming and others crossed before, and there were light masters like Lu Ming and Lei Tianyi on the side to help, and nearly one-tenth of them died, so you can imagine how dangerous it is for ordinary soldiers to cross there, so the general waved his hand again and again after hearing it: "National teacher, don't do it." This is completely to let the soldiers die.,It's better to wait for the passage to open.。。。 ”

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Heliantuo grabbed him by the collar and said viciously, "Don't you understand my order!" I mean to send 5,000 people over at all costs, without these 5,000 people we can't even take down an urn city, let alone attack the Tianfeng City. I'm telling you, if this fighter is delayed, I'll kill you with my own hands! ”
