The small stone disc, in Liu Tingfeng's hand, slowly rotated with his gradual strength. Vertices

Liu Tingfeng held the small disc, not daring to push too hard, nor daring to stop suddenly, for fear that this mechanism, which had lasted for many years, would fail after suddenly stopping.

Mu Qianmei also looked at Liu Tingfeng with a focused expression, watching him turn the small disc in his hand, his expression seemed to be very calm, but the excitement and nervousness in his eyes were difficult to hide.

As the disc turned, Liu Tingfeng gradually found that the required force was getting stronger and stronger, and finally felt that something was moving slowly.

And more than 5,000 people standing in front of the stone gate kept holding their breath and staring closely at the stone gate in front of them.

"Click".

The stone gate finally moved slowly outward.

"Wow, the stone gate has moved!"

"yes, it's really moving slowly!"

"It's really complicated, and the switch is set so high."

……

Everyone couldn't help but be excited, and everyone kept talking about you and me, and their faces were full of excitement.

In the exclamation of everyone, the thick stone gate was finally about to move out of the door, and the originally upright stone gate gradually became tilted.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang".

The stone gate finally collapsed outside the doorway, and slid down for a short distance before slowly stopping.

Everyone watched the entrance of the cave, and then you looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one moved.

Tana said loudly:

"Our people will stand quietly first, and for a while they will be divided into two parts, one part will guard outside, and the other part will go in, but they will not enter until the princess comes down."

Everyone also stood quietly with excitement.

After a while, Liu Tingfeng and Mu Qianmei both came to the edge of the cliff, and after a little look, Liu Tingfeng first performed light skills, and in a few vertical jumps, he stepped on the hilt of the sword and came down.

Immediately, Mu Qianmei still floated down like a colorful butterfly, light and agile, her clothes fluttering, and everyone couldn't help but be in a trance.

Before the two came to the team, Liu Tingfeng still arranged the manpower, and two thousand people were left outside, and Tana and the military advisor took them to guard outside.

Under the leadership of Liu Tingfeng and Mu Qianmei, 3,000 people entered the stone cave where the treasure was hidden in an orderly manner.

When I first entered the cave, I went from the light to the dark, and everyone felt that it was dark in front of them, and they were not very comfortable, but after a while, they slowly got used to it.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and it was too dark inside, so Mu Qianmei ordered some people to light the torches, and suddenly the entire stone cave was as bright as day.

It turned out that this was a natural stone cave, and it was very wide inside, and more than 3,000 people entered it, and they didn't feel crowded.

Liu Tingfeng and Mu Qianmei couldn't help but look at the top of the stone cave curiously, only to see that it was also a natural dome, and some people made full use of this naturally formed hole and installed a delicate mechanism, if it was carved manually, it was almost impossible.

"Ah, the head!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

It turned out that they continued to walk forward, and someone accidentally kicked something, and when they picked it up, they found that it was a human-headed skeleton, and they exclaimed in fright.

So everyone followed the prestige and found that there were many human heads and skeletons on the ground not far away.

Suddenly, it has an eerie feeling.

It was already dusk

Minutes, the temperature has dropped, and the cave is quite cool, at this time to find so many human heads and skeletons and body bones, some people can't help but shiver.

Although I have seen a lot of tragic battles on the battlefield, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood, it is in the midst of a fight after all, not like such a gloomy environment.

Mu Qianmei finally knew that what the military advisor guessed was not wrong, and the dead in the cave should be the laborers who carried the treasure here!

"Don't be afraid, everyone, it's just a few bones, I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of?"

Mu Qianmei felt an atmosphere of fear spreading among everyone, and immediately said loudly.

Everyone is right when they think about it, this princess is not afraid, how can these big men be afraid.

So, everyone gathered their minds and continued to walk slowly forward, and after walking a distance, they found that in the center of a clearing, a large number of large wooden boxes were neatly stacked.

As far as the eye can see, there are probably more than 200 of them.

It looks like the wood is very good, and it is also beautifully made, and it is carved with classical and mysterious patterns, as if they are all old works of art.

It turns out that the treasure is not as the legend says, with mountains of gold, silver and jewels, illuminating the dark stone cave as bright as day.

Instead, the whole box was packed and stacked neatly.

Under the command of Mu Qianmei, the soldiers carried it in an orderly manner with a clear division of labor.

Some of them held torches to illuminate them, while wooden boxes were carried by four people, lined up in a neat line, and slowly walked out of the cave.

When the wooden boxes were all moved, Mu Qianmei instructed the rest of the people to collect all the human bones in the cave and put them in a big pit, covering them with stones and soil, which could be regarded as letting them settle in the ground.

When everyone came to the outside of the cave, it was completely dark outside.

Fortunately, there were many people with great strength, some people lit torches, some people carried wooden boxes, lined up in a long line, and slowly walked down the mountain.

Because the wooden box is relatively heavy, a group of people were changed halfway, and everyone took turns to carry the wooden box.

When they were about to get to the bottom of the mountain, Chaolu led about 2,000 people to hurry up to greet them, and said to Mu Qianmei and them with a smile:

"Princess, Chief Tana, you have worked hard!"

"It's good to be able to get the treasure smoothly, what is the hard work? By the way, Uncle Chao, how is the matter of inquiring about the news and preparing the grain and grass? ”

Mu Qianmei hurriedly asked.

"Back to the princess, according to reliable information, the 100,000 army led by Zhang Xiaoting will arrive at our current place in two days, and if we rush back now, we will inevitably meet them on the grassland."

"The people who prepared the grain and grass set out at noon, and according to those who are familiar with the grasslands, there are two tribes not far from here, and they buy them in two ways, and if they travel overnight, they will be able to rush back at noon tomorrow."

Chao Lu reported slowly.

Mu Qianmei continued to ask:

"And when will the topographic map of this place come out?"

"Tomorrow night, we'll survey the terrain within a radius of thirty miles, so we'll have a whole day to make arrangements for their arrival."

Chaolu continued to report.

As soon as they finished speaking, another spy came to report:

"Princess, there is news from the Holy Flying Pigeon!"

As he spoke, he handed Mu Qianmei a note.

Mu Qianmei opened the note with a solemn expression, and after reading it carefully, she summoned a few

A cronie walked into the tent.

Mu Qianmei looked at everyone's expressions and saw that they were looking forward to it and worried.

She spoke slowly:

"My father has sent a message, they can't come to the rescue for the time being, let's try to avoid a head-on conflict with the enemy, they plan to take advantage of the emptiness of Snow City, start with Snow City, go all the way to the south, capture the enemy cities along the way, and then turn south to the Yunlong Mountain Range where we are located, come to the rescue, the time may be a little later."

Hearing the news, several people couldn't help but show a little disappointment on their faces, although they didn't speak, but they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

Mu Qianmei saw everyone's expressions and eyes, and she also understood their thoughts, and then continued:

"Their decision is actually the best way, if they come to the rescue directly, the people who come to the rescue and those who stay behind will be attacked by the other party, and then our situation will be passive, and even the little strength we have will be broken down and defeated by the enemy, and there will be no way to rescue us. If we concentrate our forces to attack all the way, we will take them by surprise, and the initiative is in our hands, and the rear will be captured, which will also affect the morale of the enemy, which is also a good thing for us. ”

If you send troops to the rescue, you will inevitably leave a group of soldiers to protect the base areas and families in the rear, and it is very likely that the troops will be scattered and broken by each person, and the rescue will be even more difficult to talk about.

Now concentrating forces all the way is the best way.

Only then did everyone show a relieved expression.

The top priority now is to hold back the attacking enemy as much as possible, contain them here, relieve some pressure on the rear, and wait for their rescue.

As a result, several people began to discuss specific ways to deal with it.

The next day, Zhang Xiaoting, who was close to the Yunlong Mountain Range, also received news that Snow White City had fallen into the hands of Yunzhong Crane, and that nearly 200,000 troops were marching eastward.

The change in this battle situation far exceeded Zhang Xiaoting's expectations.

He expected that the other party would come to the rescue, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way.

Kill all the way, like a bamboo.

That's really the best way to do it.

Who in the opposing camp will have such a strategy?

Zhang Xiaoting immediately stopped the marching troops and convened an emergency meeting of the group generals to discuss countermeasures.

The generals were filled with indignation and proposed to kill them back and regain their own city.

Most of them suggested that they should go back and defeat the troops of the crane in the clouds first, and then attack the 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Xiaoting groaned, didn't speak for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he calmly said:

"If we go back and fight with 100,000 against the opponent's 200,000 army, even if the opponent is mainly recruited, what hope do we have of defeating? Even if we can win, it will be a crushing victory, and what will we use to defeat their remaining 20,000 horses? ”

Only then did the generals stop and look at Zhang Xiaoting.

"Instead of going back to fight an uncertain battle, it's better to move forward and eat the other party's 20,000 horses first, and then Yun Tianxiao's army should be able to arrive, and then we can gather together and fight to the death with the other party, wouldn't it be better?"

Zhang Xiaoting said angrily.

"The general is wise!"

The generals said in unison.

In this way, Zhang Xiaoting, with even greater anger, led the army to kill the Yunlong Mountain Range.
