Chapter 404: The Barbarians Are Old and Weak
After listening to Wei Wuji's persuasion, Shi Wen endured a vicious fire, and the two walked into the room together.
Sven lifted the other party and sat down in front of the table. Wei Wuji asked He Shan to go out first, turned around and sat down in front of the table.
"I know you understand what I said, your army is there, how far is it from the beacon, if I guessed correctly, the people who captured the beacon should be the elite like Your Excellency, how many of you are there, what kind of people are they?"
Wei Wuji unfolded a map scroll on the table and looked at each other.
The man didn't expect that his disguise would be exposed so quickly, let alone that Wei Wuji would ask so many questions directly, and the expression on his face was momentarily sluggish, flashing.
"Look at the look on your face, I know I'm right, let's talk about it. Wei Wuji smiled.
"What if I don't say it," the man asked.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, anyway, we are all pawns, so I don't know about these things. But you will suffer some things, such as the loss of one or two veins in your body. I can assure you that that kind of wound, the veins and tendons will never want to be connected. By the way, what's your name," Wei Wuji asked.
"My name is Gurung. The man replied.
Wei Wuji nodded and pointed to the map, "Tell me about the location of your barbarians, I just want to return to Chifeng City smoothly, if you deliberately let us be trapped halfway, I have to take you first." ”
Gurung looked at the map and clicked a few locations on it. Intoxicated with Zhang Jie
Wei Wuji and Shi Wen looked at the map, and their expressions suddenly became grim.
"Your soldiers are advancing very fast, how many elites of your strength are there," Wei Wuji asked.
"There are thousands of warriors of the Northern Clan, and people like me are just small people among them. Gurung replied.
"Boy, are you bragging, with a strength like you, thousands of people, you have already captured the Equatorial Fortress, passed through the Chifeng Mountains, and killed the Tianzhou Kingdom. Why bother to make so many troubles," Sven couldn't help but sneer.
"You are also the strength of the Eight Heavens, but you claim to be a pawn of the Chifeng Army, how can you be embarrassed" Gurung looked at Wei Wuji and Shi Wen, sneering with a smile.
Shi Wen was speechless, but Wei Wuji smiled faintly, stood up, and walked out.
The barbarian soldiers were approaching, and there was not much time left for everyone, so Wei Wuji consulted with a group of people and others, and prepared to light the beacon fire and return to Chifeng City.
"I don't know how many beacon towers there are, they were captured by the other side, and now they burn the beacon fire, and it doesn't have much effect. Han Yuxin sighed.
"We still have to do our part. After the beacon fire was lit, everyone left immediately. Wei Wuji said.
Bi Fansheng and the five of them also finished resting, except for Jing Yan, everyone else was fine. Wei Wuji asked about the strength of the other party's chasing soldiers, and Bi Fansheng told Wei Wuji that most of them were Seventh Heavens, and there were five or six people in the Eighth Heavens, and one person was the leader, but it was the strength of the Nine Heavens.
"However, the barbarian soldiers are very strange, they are all old and weak, both men and women, swallowing pills when they are about to fight, their strength will suddenly increase to six or seven heavens, and some even reach eight heavens. Bi Fansheng said.
"And such a strange thing, you confirm that it is true" Wei Wuji was shocked in his heart.
"I saw it with my own eyes, and I was shocked at the time. However, after swallowing the pill, it will not last long, at most one or two quarters, and they will fall to the ground, and it will become difficult to even stand, and some people will die. Bi Fansheng replied.
Devouring pills stimulates strength, and the old and weak can also explode and become strong elite soldiers, Wei Wuji did not dare to think deeply. At this time, Sven came over and told Wei Wuji that he had found a group of barbarians, numbering about two hundred people, surrounding the beacon.
Wei Wuji had no better way, and ordered the five captives to be pushed up the high wall, so that the other party had some scruples. Then gather all the people and start arranging the evacuation.
"Master Wei, there is also a secret passage in the beacon tower, which leads directly to the grove two miles away from the beacon tower. He Shan said to Wei Wuji.
"Nima's, why didn't you say it earlier," Sven scolded.
"I saw that everyone was about to leave, and the secret path was not needed, so I didn't say it. Now that it is surrounded by barbarians, the secret path can be used, so I will tell you to know. Facing Shi Wen's anger, He Shan involuntarily took a step back and said timidly.
"Okay, He Shan, tell me, where is the secret passage" Wei Wuji stopped Shi Wen's anger and asked.
"It's just below the bottom of the beacon. Ten of us brothers, in order to leave a way back for ourselves, spent several years digging through privately. He Shan replied.
"Sure it works," Wei Wuji asked.
"More than ten days ago, I walked through the secret passage, and there was no problem. He Shan replied.
Wei Wuji nodded and began to assign tasks to everyone.
The two prisoners of the Eight Heavens, tied up later, gagged their mouths, and retreated with wooden poles.
Zhong Lanxin and Shi Ziyi are both strong in the early stage of the Eight Heavens, and their strength is relatively weak, and the second daughter is in charge of the captives. Jing Qin took care of Jing Yan, who was unconscious, and Zhong Jiancheng followed the three daughters closely to ensure safety.
Wei Yijian, Shi Wen, and Bi Fansheng were guarded before and after, responsible for killing the barbarians they encountered along the way. Han Yuxin's strength is second only to Wei Wuji, and he is responsible for exploring the way ahead. Wei Wuji himself was the queen of the palace and was responsible for blocking the pursuers. As for He Shan, his strength is useless, and he has done it himself.
"The purpose of the barbarian sneak attack and capture of the beacon tower is to prevent the beacon from rising. Once we light the beacon, it is the moment when the other side storms the beacon. Therefore, Sven led people to pour fire oil on the entire beacon tower, evacuated to the grove first, and sent me a signal. After that, according to the planned route, retreat to Chifeng City, leave me alone, go as fast as I can After lighting the beacon fire, I will go after you. After Wei Wuji finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded, and they got ready to go.
Wei Wuji came to the high wall, beside the five captives, and looked outside.
"This is your northern barbarian" Wei Wuji was really shocked when he faced the barbarians at close range for the first time.
The two hundred barbarians surrounding the outside could not be called soldiers at all.
They were all dirty and had mud on their faces. His body was covered with a mess of things to keep out the cold, including animal skins, tree bark, and thatch bundled together. Anyway, as long as there is anything that can shelter from the wind and snow, all of them are draped on the body. All of them had no shoes, some were wrapped in animal skins and weeds, others were barefoot, standing in the mud and snow.
Looking at the weapons in their hands, there were almost no decent blades. Only a few of them had knives and guns that looked like broken copper and iron, and the most were wooden clubs. What's more, there are some people who hold animal bones in their hands, thinking that they are blades. Probably because they were too hungry, several of them actually put the beast bone blades to their mouths, biting them with their teeth, and gnawing on the non-existent flesh.
The most shocking thing is that the age of these people is all gray-haired old and weak. Wei Wuji is already difficult to distinguish between men and women from the appearance of the other party, and can only distinguish from the height of the stature, the tall one is a man, and the short one is a woman.
Wei Wuji stabilized his mind, withdrew himself from the shock, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Shi Wen, Wei Yijian, Han Yuxin and others also stood on the high wall. Everyone's face changed suddenly, and like Wei Wuji, they observed the barbarians up close, and were shocked by everything in front of them.
