Along the foot of the mountain, a group of people and horses are speeding through the night, and the winding torches are like a fire dragon, which is particularly conspicuous in this dark night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info [see the latest chapters of this book]
Now it is necessary to bet that Hu Xiao and the orcs will rest and heal, so as to shorten the distance between the two sides. They may not be able to rest within the distance of their pursuers, but once they feel safe, they will set up camp and rest!
After all, their casualties were not small, from coming down from the mountain to leaving the red pine forest, Hu Xiao killed more than 30 people, and there were more than a dozen orcs, such losses were already very large!
Because they didn't expect that the orcs would also be killed and burned to death, and they thought that even if they captured the Domain Saint Pass, they wouldn't lose a single person!
Obviously, the Central Plains people will always give them an unexpected blow, the orcs they worship and worship are not invincible, the people they met tonight are more terrible than the five thousand Yin Dynasty soldiers, they can even manipulate the storm flames, this is the legendary spirit cultivators, right? They are the nemesis of the orcs!
The one who led these Hu Xiao and orcs to sneak attack the Domain Holy Pass was a steppe wolf lord named Erdun, tall and strong, with a black and red face, never wearing silk and linen clothes, only animal skins, and all the hides of beasts killed by his own hands!
All year round, he likes to show off his strong physique with his chest full of chest hair. And he is indeed a famous warrior on the grassland, who once fought a male lion with his bare hands!
Now Erdun was sitting on a big rock, as if he had just been fished out of the water! Although the animal skin was warm, it was impermeable to the wind, and it was hot to death!
The others were even more unlucky, lying on the grass one by one, not even wanting to move! The wild running of this road was more than 300 miles, and if it was on the grassland, there would not be such fatigue as it is now, but now it is running along the foot of the mountain, and the physical strength paid is several times more than that on the grassland!
Now that the sky is almost dawn, they have finally thrown their pursuers far away, and they can finally take a breath! Everyone has found a wasteland and stopped, and now everyone does not even want to move their fingers!
"Wolf master! the horse's legs are already trembling, and white foam is flowing from his mouth, and he can't run anymore!" a soldier ran over and knelt down to Erdun and asked in Hu Xiao's language. (hua.$>>>cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')
Erdun looked around, even the orcs were sitting on the ground snorting and panting, and they were really tired to the limit, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then rest for an hour!
Originally, they slaughtered a village, but they also grabbed some things, but the orcs were too good to eat, and that little food was not enough for them to eat, and now they ran all night, and they were already hungry, Erdun looked around, and the black pressure was full of barren mountains and rocks, not to mention that there was a village, and there was not even a beast!
But if you don't eat enough, you can't hurry, you can't reach the Domain Saint Pass! Erdun was ruthless in his heart, pulled out his scimitar, and walked quickly to the side of a war horse that was foaming a lot of white foam in its mouth, "Ah!" With a wild shout, he cut off the horse's head!
"Wolf master!" A group of Hu Xiao soldiers were shocked, and thought that Erdun had gone crazy! In the grassland, horses are the closest friends of Hu Xiao people, and every Hu Xiao person grew up on horseback, and horses have even surpassed the boundaries of friends in their hearts and become their brothers!
Therefore, Hu Xiao people will not do anything to hurt horses, let alone kill horses, unless they have to do so! Hu Xiao people have always been ruthless towards people of different races, but they are very loving and considerate to horses!
With red eyes, Erdun watched the war horse fall and fall in a pool of blood, and then he slashed it again, inserted it into the horse, cut off a piece of horse meat, and did not need to roast it on fire, so it was bloodily stuffed into his mouth, chewed hard, and gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "Kill all the horses that can't run, we have to eat enough, so that we can reach the Domain Saint Pass! We must save our lives and save more of our people!"
"But..."A group of Hu Xiao soldiers still don't have Erdun's ruthlessness, they have already regarded these war horses as their own family, and now it's not the end of the road, they have to kill their own family members in order to save their lives, even if they are ruthless Hu Xiao people, they can't do it at the moment!
Erdun also knew that this was undoubtedly to quench his thirst, but as a wolf master, he saw the severity of the current situation! Those pursuers behind him would not let him go, and if he wanted to complete the plan, he had to make a ruthless decision, and if he was a little soft-hearted, he would be wiped out!
"Erlangs, don't feel sorry for these horses! If our grassland army can break through the Domain Sacred Pass, then there will be more war horses for us to choose from, and there will also be more abundant food, beauties and fine wine in the Central Plains for us to enjoy! But to get these, we have to rely on our strange army! So we have to keep our lives, and even more so let these orcs save their lives, they will help our army enter the Central Plains! Let us plant the banner of the grassland tribes in every town in the Central Plains, it's up to us people!"
After listening to Erdun's words, the group of Hu Xiao soldiers all stood up from the ground, supported their tired bodies, pulled out their war knives, held their hands tightly, and their eyes exuded a reluctant light, but they were quickly replaced by a fierce cold light!
"Ahh
Hu Xiaobing's hands trembled, his eyes showed a reluctant look, tears rolled down, he couldn't bear to look at the incomprehensible and complaining eyes of his partner next to him, closed his eyes, held up the scimitar and slashed it with all his might!
"Ah!" Hu Xiaobing cried loudly, and at the same time, like crazy, he bent down and chopped down the war horse that had already choked his breath, until he chopped off the entire horse's head!
Soon, nearly thirty foaming war horses were hunted, and the strong smell of blood made those orcs forget their fatigue one by one, and they all gathered around, and pushed Hu Xiaoren aside casually, his hands were like tearing dough, and the horse's body was torn, and pieces of horse meat were stuffed into his mouth!
Seventy or eighty orcs plus more than two hundred Hu Xiao people, eating these more than thirty war horses, it is really a drop in the bucket, those orcs who have not eaten enough have their hands and mouths full of blood, and their eyes are fierce looking at those war horses that are still alive and trembling on the side!
Although Erdun is ruthless, he is not a fool, and he knows that if all the horses are killed, Ma Yue will not be able to reach the Domain Saint Pass in the Year of the Monkey, so he will never allow anyone to hurt him with the war horses that should be kept!
Seeing that those orcs were all about to move, Erdun shouted loudly, asked people to lead the war horse away and rush to the front, and then took out a long whip about five zhang long from his back, slammed his arm, shook it and whistled it in the air!
Those orcs trembled their bodies, their eyes radiated a resentful and fierce light, but they also honestly took a few steps back and squatted aside.
Erdun breathed a sigh of relief, these orcs are very difficult to control, they don't recognize their six relatives, and the horses are frightened and know how to avoid danger and avoid their foals, but if these orcs lose control, they will even eat their own kind, not to mention them!
Although the Hu Xiao people regard orcs as idols, they don't treat them as idols when they stay together, but treat them more like hunting dogs they raise, or other beasts used to help hunt!
Finally ate something, replenished a little physical strength, now the number of war horses and people is about the same, but there is no spare horse, once the fatigue goes, these war horses must be killed!
However, the distance from the Domain Sacred Pass is getting closer and closer, and you only need to resupply again to reach your destination, so you must find a village in front of you in order to keep the horses!
Driven by the whip, the orcs continued to hurry, Erdun had already sent a team of scouts to search the villages along the way, and now he urgently needed supplies on the stone house, and the pursuers behind would not be able to catch up for a while, as long as they ate before noon, even if they caught up, they could easily get rid of it!
"Brother Wu!" Xiao Bao urged him to step forward, walked to Lao Liu's side, looked ahead and said, "Is there a village along the way?"
Old Liu Tou thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, it is about a hundred miles away from Yusheng Pass, and there is also a pass village, there are about seven or eight hundred households, it is a big village!"
Xiaobao frowned, contemplating. Xiao Liangzi asked cautiously: "Master, what's wrong?"
Xiaobao waved his hand, turned his head to Lao Liu Tou and said, "Is there a shortcut to get to Guankou Village as soon as possible?"
Old Liu Tou and Xiao Liangzi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Take the waterway, Yuansheng River!"
From where everyone is now to reach the Domain Saint Pass, there are still about twelve hours, and it will take at least eight hours to reach the Guankou Village, and now according to Tu Meng's observation, Hu Xiao people have not stopped, just like them, they have been on the road, to catch up with them, it will take at least three hours!
This is still without eating, drinking, or resting! But in this way, fighting with tired soldiers against tired soldiers, the casualties will be huge!
According to the memories of Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Liangzi, the Yuansheng River is nearby, about two hours away from everyone, and then it is not possible to go to the Domain Saint Pass from the waterway, and it may take nearly twenty hours to turn to the dry road!
However, it only takes five hours to reach Guankou Village, and it is only six hours to reach Tunliangkou! From Tunliangkou to Yushengguan, it is only less than two hours!
It seems that there is a big circle here, but in fact it is a shortcut! Everyone abandons the foot of the mountain and walks inland, which is equivalent to walking on the edge of the city of Liuzi and Panda, although it is dangerous, but it is worth it!
When Xiao Bao mentioned the marching plan, no one supported or objected, because in this way, they might rush to the front of Hu Xiaoren, or they might not be able to meet them!
"The master is betting that those Hu Xiao people will plunder Guankou Village, that's why he made such a decision, right?" Iwasami Ying said to Xiaobao with a smile, "But if they don't turn the road to Guankou Village, we will run away in vain!"
Xiaobao nodded, and what Iwasami Ying said was exactly the worry in his heart. But it's not that he's afraid of running in vain, but that he's afraid that he's really expected it!
Seven or eight hundred households, that is, at least more than 2,000 people! These are the people of the Central Plains, all of them are fresh lives, and some of them are old people and children, and they cannot resist the ravages of those barbarian fellows at all!
Xiaobao took a deep breath and said to everyone: "They will definitely go to Guankou Village! Because they are more tired and hungry than us! Target Yuansheng River, set off immediately!"
