Chapter 20 1 What kind of water do you seek?
"My lord, they actually set up a sacrificial prayer for rain at the gate today, and a group of people knelt around for an hour!" The soldiers outside the tent came in to give an offering.
"Huh? It's all out? Successfully stopped the conversation with the handsome strategist.
"Not really, but not by much." The soldier looked dismissive.
"Looks like our time has come." The eyes of success lit up.
Tao Yaoyao and his group have not done anything in the past three days except to ask for rain, but not to mention that there is little rain in this land, even if it rains, what can it do? Even if there is enough water and no food, just hold on for three or five more days, do you want to wait for Seamus's reinforcements in this way? They won't give it a chance.
"General, no." The strategist next to Chenggong said, and then waved his hand to signal the person to go out.
"Sir, these trapped soldiers have reached a desperate situation, and now they all have to rely on begging for rain to survive, where is there any fighting spirit, do we still have to guard again?" Success asked very humbly, but in his heart he was in a hurry to take down this group of people.
For the sake of this 1,000 people, he not only consumed more combat power, but also borrowed 50,000 troops for many days without taking Longxia Town, if he didn't hurry up, I am afraid that his position will not be guaranteed, and the above will also take this opportunity to attack him.
"It seems that I underestimated them, and thought that they were doing all this tricks to lower our morale and make us hesitate. I thought that this begging for rain was just a helpless move for them to survive and bring reinforcements, but now I think that they are not doing it for the lack of water. The counselor nodded, a glint in his eyes.
"Sir, don't they ask for rain to survive? So what else can be done? "Success is incomprehensible.
"General, think about it, although this Longxia Town is not big, why can it exist for so long in the world? This is under the canyon, and even the ground cracks and landslides are enough to wipe out this town several times. He spoke.
"W-isn't there any way they can resist the danger?" Success was silent.
"A natural calamity is the wrath of heaven, and how can a mortal be hindered by flesh and blood? It's not that they have any way, but Longxia Town itself is a disadvantage of occupying geographical advantages, this town is in a quiet place surrounded by valleys on all sides, even if any collapse will not fall to Longxia Town, and because of this, Longxia Town cannot expand and build and trade, but it can stand in the world for a long time without falling. The man nodded.
"Even if they're in a good location, what can they do?" Success seemed to sniff out something unusual, and there was some uncertainty in his tone.
"General, do you know why this place is called Dragon Canyon?" The man didn't answer directly.
Success was silent, but his eyes told the other party that he didn't know, and never cared, just a name.
"Legend has it that a dragon rested here, and his body was split in half by the dragon hunters, creating a longitudinal dragon canyon. And this dragon canyon meets the water and turns into a dragon, and the terrain fissions-" The man's words seemed to come from the sky, and they seemed to be telling a story from the past.
"Sir, what does this have to do with this?" Success wants a clearer answer.
"General—they are in a good position, but we are in the realm of the border gorge, and if the tail gorge above our heads is rained, the mud will be cracked, and then we will be in a disadvantageous situation even if we have 50,000 people." The man frowned and made things clear.
Successfully listened to it, but exhaled, and looked at the other party's eyes with some resistance.
"First of all, this is a realm where it can't rain once a year, if you say that these people want to get rain, wouldn't it be the rebirth of the dragon king? Besides, don't wait for them to beg for rain, now while the remnants of this group have lost their will, this general can take them down with only one battalion of men, and then use their heads to pay tribute to my dead soldiers. There is no lack of pride in the tone of success, and Tao Xiaoxiao is already a dead man in his place.
"General—" The strategist was trying to say something.
"Sir, there is no need to say more, success is cautious by nature, and thousands of lives have been lost in vain because of this, so we can't wait for Seamo's reinforcements to arrive, and then waste this opportunity." After successfully speaking, he made up his mind and prepared to go out.
"General, what if it does rain?" The man also stood up and asked lightly.
"Hahaha! If it rains on this day when the wind and clouds are not revealed, hum! He just snorted coldly, and he went out successfully, this person had already angered him, even if he respected the other party, but it seemed that the other party had challenged his authority.
"Getting married, it seems that our fate is over." The strategist still looked at the place where he had left a long time after he had successfully left the tent, said a word slowly, and then walked out resolutely, he must have had something in mind.
"My lord, do you think this can be done?" A soldier who was begging for rain here asked in a low voice.
"Shut up, adults say that they can achieve it, can adults compare with your pig brain?" His team leader immediately slapped him on the head.
"What are you talking about?" The man was suddenly blinded.
"What did I say, oh, I was wrong. You don't have a brain! "The team leader didn't seem to miss this opportunity to pit him.
"I cut you!" That's popular.
"Don't shout, chant the mantra quickly, if you are suspected, you will not be able to eat and walk around!" The captain next to him poked his head out at this time and shouted sternly.
"Yes! Be! Ahh......h
"What are you thinking?" There was something strange about the captain.
"Chant the mantra!" The man asked knowingly.
"Is that a spell for water?" The captain asked curiously.
"Yes! You know what water it is! Hahaha! The man's expression suddenly became obscene, and even the corners of his mouth almost drooled.
"You—" The captain was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Hey, hey! I heard that there is a red prostitute named Chunxi in this town, I specially watched it when they left, no! The team leader on the side came over again and shared the information with this like-minded comrade-in-arms.
"I guess what kind of merry man is in that man! Hahaha! "That man's heart is also big, and at this time these jokes are no one to lose.
However, the atmosphere here is not at all as oppressive and sad as successfully imagined, but much more relaxed. In the hearts of these people, they are the people at the bottom of society who have no status and no rights, and they should have died at this time. But now, not only are they alive and well, but they are also disgusted by the hostile people and those who look down on them on their side.
That's an army of 50,000, and if they can take Longxia Town, no matter how many days they hold on to complete the task, they have pride and belief in themselves for the first time, and it is the black-skinned boy who looks thin and inconspicuous who gave them all this.
"My lord, there seems to be movement." The man who had been keeping watch in front said.
"Ignorance, I'll leave it to you here. I'll go to the gorge, and when there is a sound, you will go around the side, and get out of here, and go as far as you can! Tao Xiaoyao immediately commanded when he heard this.
"My lord, leave this matter to me!" Okra stood up and said.
"No, no! My lord, I can do all this hard work! ”
"My lord, let me go! I'm running fast! ”
"Adult ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, you don't know how to get those things, this matter is related to so many lives, it's most appropriate for me to go." Tao Xiaoyao shook her head.
She still has to go with the gunpowder, so that the possibility of emergency can be minimized.
"My lord! We know that Seamo's reinforcements are not coming back, and you are trying to give us a hope that we all know. But, my lord, if you go, you'll die! ”
"My lord, I'll go. My rotten life is worthless, and if I die, I will die! ”
"My lord, I'll go!"
"Doctor Shun, let Ah Hu go. Ah Hu's life was saved by the doctor, Ah Hu can't be an ungrateful person, Ah Hu wants to repay the favor. Ah Hu looked at Tao Yao and said firmly.
"Who said your lives are worthless! I say you're the ones who can make a difference! The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Listen, this is an order, everyone stay until there is a sound and immediately go around and evacuate, and after I leave, everything will obey the command of ignorance! Tao Yao straightened his face and said loudly.
"It's an order!" She saw that there were still people who wanted to refute, and then she yelled.
Everyone was covered with water, and some of the younger ones were in tears. Although he and Tao Yaoyao have not been together for a long time, but such a love of life and death is not a simple ten or eight years can be interpreted, and the resonance between them from life, origin, and trust makes these people regard Tao Yaoyao as their spiritual leader, but at such a time, Tao Xiaoyao would rather sacrifice himself than waste one more of their lives, and their hearts at this time are mixed.
"My lord! Okra is willing to swear allegiance to the Lord to the death! Nine deaths without regrets! ”
"Swear allegiance to your lordship!"
"Swear allegiance to your lordship!"
"Swear allegiance to your lordship!"
Everyone knelt down in unison, and the cry of heaven flowed in Taoyao's ears, such an oath was like a promise to shock the heavens and the earth, and this group of humble people used their hearts to support this iron and earthly openness.
"Good! You all have to live well, I will definitely come back alive, you wait for me. Tao Xiaoyao also smiled, and at that moment her smile swayed at the corner of her mouth, pulling out a beautiful arc.
Everyone was stunned, even though the man in front of him had dark and yellow skin, but this kind of smile was deeply imprinted in their hearts, and they may never forget it for the rest of their lives. I don't know why I felt this way, but everyone remembered the smile.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
From this moment on, they were the real transformation, and Tao Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Wuming meaningfully, and waited until Xiao Wuming nodded lightly, and without hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the place where the ambush had been prepared for a long time.
She is carrying so many lives on her body, and besides, she doesn't plan to die, but it's not a good way to stay between this group of people, she seems to be able to sniff out that woman has found her traces, so the best way now is to leave quietly, isn't Xiaoshan still waiting for her.
It's a perfect plan.
Isn't it?
