Under the white moonlight, Liu Ping stood outside the tent and looked at the back with a complicated face, although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, he still frowned and looked at it attentively, what Wei Xuan said was very reasonable, it was absolutely impossible for the main god to let the people guarding the rear path easily complete the task he had assigned, and the deadly danger would inevitably come suddenly one day, and Liu Ping had a feeling that the time for this danger to come should not be too long.

In the movie, Leonidas, the king of Sparta, sent a large number of militia soldiers to guard the trail and built a Persian wall, but the Persian wall that he had high hopes for was destroyed in a blink of an eye under the attack of the Persian undead army, and it could not stop the Persians from advancing at all.

In real history, Leonidas also did not ignore the path, he even arranged a thousand defenders of the city-state of Phosis there, but these thousands of guards, just like the path guards in the movie, have basically not played any role since the attack of the Persian army, and they have all been shot through the throat by Persian sharp feather arrows.

Whether it is a movie or real history, Xiaodao is not an army without guards, and even the strength of the guards is not weak, but just like that, they are still in the first wave of the Persian attack, and they were quickly defeated.

The occurrence of this situation can only show that the trail is very difficult to guard, otherwise there would be no such result.

It may sound difficult to understand that a shepherd's path is even more difficult to guard than the world-famous hot spring pass, but that's exactly what happened.

Liu Ping grew up in the western mountains, and when he was very young, he climbed all the mountains near his hometown, so he knows very well what the so-called mountain trails are like.

There are many kinds of mountains, some of which are very steep, not to mention the passage of large armies, even those who live in the mountains all year round, it is very difficult to climb up; But some of the mountains are very easy to navigate, maybe they are very high, maybe they are overgrown with weeds and dense trees, but the overall terrain is not complicated, anyone can carve a path up the mountain if they wish, it just takes a little time.

Can lead to the rear of the hot spring pass, although there is only a hidden shepherd trail, but it does not mean that this mountain area is the only one trail can pass, nor does it mean that this trail can only be so wide, the real situation is actually that as long as there is this trail as a foundation, and the Persian army is willing to invest manpower and material resources, it is completely possible to follow this trail and make a road that is more spacious than the hot spring pass.

There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, there is a road.

This shepherd trail is like this, at the beginning, it was just a shepherd when she was herding sheep, inadvertently stepped out, and then there were more people who followed, and it became a trail, but it was hidden in the mountains, hidden in the dense forests and weeds, and fewer people knew it.

In fact, the Persian emperor did not know that as long as he crossed this mountainous area in the south, he could ignore the hot springs and go directly to the city of Athens, but the layers of high mountains one after another, as well as the primeval jungle on the mountain, which could not be seen at a glance, only stopped the progress of his army.

It is not a simple matter to make a way out of a primeval jungle, it takes a lot of people and a lot of time, and the hot spring pass is now in danger, and it can be broken day and night, and the Persian emperor will naturally not do such a time-consuming and laborious thing.

It is very troublesome to make a new mountain road, but if the Persian emperor knows that there is actually a small road in this mountainous area, which can lead directly to the rear of the Hot Spring Pass, but it is completely different, he will inevitably send a large number of elite troops to use the small road to go around the rear of the Hot Spring Pass, and the dense jungle will also become a help for the Persian army to hide their whereabouts.

At this time, no matter how many men were sent to defend the path, without the help of the difficult terrain, the Persian army could give full play to their numerical superiority, and with a dense number of arrows, it could drown all the defenders defending the path.

Thinking of this, Liu Ping already knew that Wei Xuan should have murderous intentions towards the four of them, otherwise it would be impossible to let the four of them go to the rear to guard the trail so easily when he knew that the rear would be more dangerous, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Wei Xuan.

From Liu Ping's eyes looking at him, Wei Xuan immediately knew that Liu Ping had a misunderstanding about him, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I told them about this situation before the four of them left, but they didn't believe it at all." ”

Liu Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Why don't they believe it?" ”

Wei Xuan sighed: "Because they don't believe that in such a cruel environment as the reincarnation space, we can still talk so well." After all, they have made mistakes before, and you have no intention of pursuing them, we know that you are a good old man, and you have forgiven them, but they don't know, your behavior will only make them suspicious. Of course, then again, even if they believe you, even if they don't think you're going to settle accounts, they're still scared, afraid that if you're going to protect their personal safety in a critical situation. ”

"Since they believe in me, and everyone is also a member of the reincarnation team, how can I not save myself if I die!?"

Wei Xuan smiled slightly, and pointed to the rear: "Yes, then let me make an analogy, if the rear trail is lost at this time, the hot spring pass is surrounded by a heavy siege, everyone needs to break through to survive, in this case, who are you going to take to break through?" Hehe, no matter how powerful you and Wang Dahai are, they will definitely not be able to take everyone away, so when choosing candidates, what is the probability that you will abandon them? Don't quibble, if you're embarrassed to say it, then I'll help you say it, it's 100 percent! You will 100% choose to abandon them! ”

Liu Ping was dumbfounded, Wei Xuan was right, if this situation really happened, he would definitely not take them with him, so if he said that, letting them go to the trail to defend is really the best choice, at least as long as they are careful, it is not impossible to survive.

"Alas, you're right, when the situation is critical, that's the only way I can choose. Forget it, in that case, let them fend for themselves in the back, whether they can survive or not depends on their luck. ”

Speaking of this, neither of them knew what to say, and they both fell silent for a moment.

The hot springs were closed quietly, even here in the past, you could clearly hear the shouts of killing from afar, but now there is no sound at all, which can only mean that the Persians have stopped attacking at this time.

Liu Ping looked in the direction of the battlefield worriedly, and he didn't know what the Persians were doing, why there was no movement all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Wei Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "If you don't worry, just go to the city wall and take a look, Wu Yun is not in danger of life, there are a few of us watching here, you don't have to worry about it." Besides, you've been fighting on the battlefield all day, and you're definitely tired, so if you're sure you're okay, you should find a place to rest. ”

Liu Ping nodded, and hurried to the battlefield, he was indeed too tired at this time, as long as he confirmed what was going on and there was no danger, he needed to rest and rest.

Before they reached the middle gate wall, they had already received news from the front, it turned out that the Persians had sent an envoy to announce a one-night truce between the two sides, so that they could deal with the piles of corpses on the hot springs.

Knowing that the front line was fine, Liu Ping returned to the tent, and after telling Wei Xuan about the situation, he took out a sleeping bag and got in, and after a while, he fell asleep next to the tent......

The morning sun was slightly dewed, the sky was white, and a huge, round, bright red fireball slowly crawled out, although only half of the head was exposed, and in an instant, the sea was reflected red and bright, like a raging flame.

Before the light could fully illuminate the earth, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the hot springs and woke up all those who were still asleep.

It was Pan Zhiwen who came on horseback, the killer, he was covered in blood at the moment, galloping from behind, he looked very panicked on horseback, and his mouth was screaming all the way.

He galloped in from the rear of the camp, and the speed along the way did not stop, until he saw Liu Ping, and then he pulled the stiff rope and stopped.

He brought bad news that stunned everyone!

The Hidden Trail was lost, just last night.

The three members of the reincarnation team, 500 militia soldiers and 1,000 believers all died in last night's attack, and only Pan Zhiwen was able to escape from Ascension because he was alert in advance.

Suddenly hearing this bad news, Liu Ping only felt dizzy, he really couldn't understand, more than a thousand people, it's not unprepared, why it was just a short night, actually let that trail be lost, without leaving him a little time to react.

Liu Ping gritted his teeth and pulled Pan Zhiwen's collar with both hands, stared at him with red eyes, and roared wildly: "What the hell is going on!" Didn't you pass by yesterday during the day?! How did it take only one night to lose the trail. ”

Pan Zhiwen was about to cry at this moment: "I don't know, as soon as we got there, we immediately set up defenses, and Qi Hongzhuang also took people to patrol the trail, no one thought that as soon as the sky was dark, countless Persians suddenly came out of the jungle." If it weren't for the alarm, I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to run back. ”

Liu Ping was almost angry with him, the position was lost, and he didn't know how he lost it.

Wei Xuan, who came to hear the news, hurriedly grabbed the furious Liu Ping, and said with an anxious face: "Now the situation is urgent, it is not the time to pursue responsibility, we need to gather immediately and hold a meeting to discuss it." You are fast, hurry up to the cliff to find John, he has been there to spy on the movements of the Persians, I will go to the city wall to find Wang Dahai, Pan Zhiwen, you go to the tent and wait for us, we will meet there later. ”

After hearing Wei Xuan's words, Liu Ping suddenly sobered up, the current situation is very critical, even if there are more questions, he will wait to put it down at this moment, he can't help but stomp his foot in hatred, and helplessly turn around and run to the path up the mountain.

After Wei Xuan instructed Pan Zhiwen, he immediately turned around and ran to find Wang Dahai, at this time, even if the Persians had already started to attack, they could only let the Spartans go up first, and Wang Dahai had to come back to discuss the matter together.

As soon as Liu Ping and Wei Xuan left, Pan Zhiwen immediately collapsed to the ground like mud, and the furious Liu Ping frightened him just now, and he even doubted that if it wasn't for Wei Xuan's timely appearance, he would not have been killed by Liu Ping.

It's just that after a day of not seeing him, Liu Ping's sense of oppression has risen to a whole level, and it seems that he killed a lot of Persians yesterday.
