Chapter 3: The Ultimate Battle: 11. Pursuit
I walked out of the temple and the sun was shining outside. Oriental Reading Network, the sky is a strange blue, so blue that it seems to be dripping juice. It was so blue that it seemed to be pregnant with something about to move, as if it could break through the blue at any moment. Underneath this blue, there is a trace of white clouds passing leisurely, like this world, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with it.
I gazed intently at the sun hanging high in the sky, and I saw that there was a blazing void. That's the Eye in the Sky? But I couldn't see what was in the eye of the sky, I could only see the burning like waves, rising from the mountains and the sea.
I took a deep breath and felt the air fresh and clear, like a clear stream washing away the turbid breath of my lungs and blood, which lifted my spirits. It was like a force that filled my body, making me like a full bow.
I looked at the square in front of the temple, where many tribesmen, women, and children appeared. When they heard about the victory in the battle, they all came to participate in the post-war clean-up. The corpses scattered in the square have long been carried away, and the blood stains in the square have been washed clean. Looking at the old people and women gathered in the square to talk, and looking at the children playing in the square, it was as if nothing had happened here. The messy corpses, the almost suffocating smell of blood, the rumbling explosions, the whistling raindrops of bullets, the burning smoke. The desperate cry in the smoke of gunpowder, the passion in the blood and blood in the smoke, the flesh and blood flying in the smoke, the groans of pain in the smoke. Everything seems to exist as a fantasy in a dream. I looked back at the temple behind me, the boulder walls riddled with bullet marks. The swarthy traces of the incendiary bomb after it burned, the pit after the bomb exploded, and the gap that was blown up by the bomb is still there. Now it seems that the gap that was blown down by the bomb made the huge temple resemble a limbless giant. All this also tells people that everything is not a fantasy that exists in a dream, and that everything is real. The corpse can be moved, the blood will be scattered with the wind, the smoke and bullet marks, and the blood stains can be washed away, but the traces left in the heart will be left clearly. It may be glory, pain, sorrow......
In the square, there are old people and women who have lost their loved ones crying in low voices. I know that the Bogdas are strong. But no matter how strong it is, it can only cover up, but it cannot erase the grief of losing a loved one. Looking at the old men and women who were crying in low voices, a feeling of sadness drifted through my heart. I felt like crying, but found that I was gone with no tears.
I called Aya to my side and whispered to her that she should arrange for all the Bogdas who died this time, as long as their bodies were intact, to be cleaned and put together. When I come back, I can treat these people and give them life again.
As soon as Aya told me about my decision, the square burst into thunder.
A dozen or so people selected by Aya, led by Dole, walked through the square. Agmar was far away, and seemed to be angry with me. Xiao Ni hugged me tightly and put it in my ear and said, "Brother-in-law, I listen to you, I will be fine." ”
I hugged my little brother, and I said, "Practice hard with Xiaoni, I'm optimistic about you!" ”
The younger brother said, "I'll do my best!" ”
Li Lili and Lao Pao also came to see me off, Li Lili silently hugged me and said, "Brother, my ability is limited, I can't help anything, I won't make trouble for you." But he will also contribute to participate in the encirclement and suppression of mercenaries on the side of the Divine Lake. Don't say anything, cherish each! ”
I hugged Lao Cannon and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that let you down!" ”
The old cannon smiled. But I could tell it was just a polite smile.
As Aya and I walked across the square, the old people, the women, and the children were cheering us on. In the crowd, I saw Juanzi and Liang Jiahui, standing together, smiling and waving their arms at me.
After leaving the temple and entering the valley, I whistled to beckon the little white, the thousand-faced beast, and the little demon. We quickly caught up with Dole's group, who had set off first.
In the last valley leading to the lake of the gods, I saw thousands of tribes gathered in the valley. The leaders of the nine tribes are there. I was a little surprised. Aya looked at me and said with some embarrassment, "All the tribal leaders will fight, and no one will back down. I had no choice but to let them all participate. Now the people here are under the unified command of the leader of the wolf clan. ”
I asked Aya to gather the leaders together and ask about the situation. The leader of the wolf clan told me that the mercenaries were cunning, and that as soon as they exited the temple, they resisted layer by layer, causing many casualties on the pursuing tribe. Therefore, the speed of the pursuit was not very fast. They did as I said, and chased them to the mouth of the valley and did not pursue them any further. Only a few people were sent to the front to inquire about the situation, and the others were deployed at the mouth of the valley to defend it. According to those who went to investigate, the hired people had already set up a defensive line in the original camp and were gathering the scattered personnel. The leader of the wolf clan said that it was fortunate that they did not rush into pursuit, otherwise, they would have suffered a great loss.
I asked how many prisoners they caught?
Aya whispered in my ear, "Father, you forgot? Bogda is fighting and never accepts the surrender of his opponent. ”
I am reminded of the Bogda principle of fighting, not to surrender and not to accept the surrender of the opponent. I nodded. Once again, I stressed the need to capture the rain alive. Let me tell you that this Ruoyu has a great relationship with Bogda, so no one can put her to death without permission.
Before leaving, I told the leaders of the nine divisions of Bogda, starting at noon, to make a big noise on three sides of the mercenary camp, so that the mercenaries felt that the tribe was besieged by thousands of troops, and gave those people the illusion that the tribe was still increasing. Leave only a passage for the mercenaries to the outside of the mountain. If the mercenaries do not withdraw before dusk, then an oppressive attack begins. Put all the captured weapons in front and force the mercenaries to withdraw with intensive fire. Once the mercenaries retreated out of the sacred lake and into the valley behind the lake, all the men were divided into two parts. Some of them followed the mercenaries and pursued them fiercely. The mercenaries must not be given a chance to breathe, and their casualties should be increased as much as possible. The other part then launched a search, leaving not a single fish behind. I've set up a barrier outside the village where the wolves live. There, we will wipe out all the mercenaries. Therefore, the more mercenaries we kill along the way, the easier it will be for us to destroy the last mercenaries in our last battle.
