Chapter VII: The Danger of the Massacre
Ten days after the cavalry of Tianmao Mountain set out, Ao Han was still running around about the great drought, and people in the Damon tribe would die every day due to disease and lack of water supply. On this day, Ao Han was visiting a little girl who was plagued by stubborn diseases, Huo Gan hurriedly rushed into the compound of the girl's house with a knife, and shouted at Ao Han: "Patriarch, it's not good, something is wrong, you come quickly!" Ao Han didn't know what made Huo Gan so nervous, he gently kissed the little girl's forehead, and said with a smile: "Brother will come to see you later." After saying that, he followed Hogan towards the altar of the holy fire.
They asked as they ran, "What happened?" Hogan said: "There is a group of cavalry in the north who suddenly came south and killed people along the way, and the tribal alliance in our north has basically been defeated, and the survivors have fled south, they should be coming to us soon." Ao Han was shocked on the spot when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. Soon they were next to the altar of the sacred fire, where several Daimon doctors were bandaging several foreigners whose clothes were tattered and covered in blood, and their lips were chapped and shivering. Ao Han quickly ran to them and asked them what was going on, and a middle-aged man with serious injuries closed his eyes and kept muttering: "Go and run for your life, it's the devil... The devil who can't be killed. Hogan called out from the side: "Patriarch, come here." Ao Han turned his head and walked towards Hogan, who was sitting in front of Hogan was a sturdy young man, the young man was also a little injured, but the skin injuries were relatively light. Ao Han hurriedly asked what happened, and the young man said: "We are from the Shangshui tribe, a few days ago a group of devils riding black horses came from the north, and killed people when they saw them, and we were all killed by them, and I hid at the bottom of the lake to escape my life." Ao Han grabbed his hand and hurriedly asked, "How many men and horses are there in that group of cavalry, and in which direction are they going?" The man replied, "There are thousands, they are not people, and our bows and arrows cannot penetrate them." After they killed us, they headed southeast, and I escaped overnight with a few people who did not die on the mountain road. Ao Han didn't ask again, he got up full of doubts and thought about something, Huo Gan leaned forward and said: "It seems that this group of cavalry is not killing people everywhere for whom, the people who can fight on black horses are only the legendary group of people who were driven from the Beining Sea Grassland to Tianmu Mountain, but it has been hundreds of years, if it is really them, it is indeed a group of devils." ”
Ao Han said to Hogan: "They should kill us soon, immediately gather the soldiers, and send someone to warn the border guards on the other side of the Yujiang River to be optimistic about the Sanhuan Mountain to the east of the Yujiang River." Huo Gan clenched his fists and left, and Ao Han asked the injured to be placed and went to Qiu Li's residence. Qiu Li's body is not as good as day by day, she needs a maid to serve every day to barely move, Ao Han looked at Qiu Li with a pale face and didn't dare to think about anything else, he couldn't let go of his children's love but had to be swayed by trivial things every day. Qiu Li wanted to cry every time she saw Ao Han, but her strange illness made her want to cry without tears as if she had squeezed her dry, which made Ao Han, who had always been strong, often cry alone.
At this time, Qiu Li kept looking at the door, as if he knew that Ao Han was coming. As soon as Ao Han saw Qiu Li from a distance, he quickly ran forward to help, and he blamed: "It's messing outside, why don't you rest in the house and run out." Qiu Li stepped forward and grabbed Ao Han's hand: "Don't fight them, quickly transfer people back and wait for support, you are not the opponent of those people." After she finished speaking, her expression was very nervous, not like she was joking at all, the current enemy Ao Han also knew that the enemy was by no means idle, but it was absolutely impossible to retreat at this time. He could only comfort Qiu Li perfunctorily and said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll be back in a while." Qiu Li needed to use a lot of strength to speak, and Ao Han felt sorry for her, so he quickly helped her into the house.
Five days later, it was the last day of July, and the severe drought caused the upper reaches of the Shengya River to basically dry up in the north, leaving a small amount of water downstream, and almost all the rivers in the world, including the Yujiang River, were exposed to cracked ground. The guards on the east side of the Yujiang River suddenly came to report that afternoon, Ao Han had a premonition that the cavalry of Tianmang Mountain was about to be killed, so he had already made preparations. The border guard said: "The front-line sentry came to report that a large group of dark horse cavalry had been killed from the Third Ring Mountain, and their soldiers were divided into two routes, one from the Third Ring Mountain to the southeast, and the other road was immediately to the east bank of the Yujiang River. Ao Han ordered all the warriors to bring their weapons and go to meet them immediately, and all the remaining water of the Daimon tribe was transported to the west bank of the Yujiang River for the warriors to use. One of the commanders of the Dimon tribe said: "Whether the Dimon tribe goes or stays depends on this battle." Ao Han pulled out his sword and said with high spirits: "No, this is about the fate of the entire human race, and we will definitely win if the enemy has no return." ”
Nearly 13,000 warriors of the Daimon tribe quickly marched from the valley plain to the west side of the Yujiang River, and at the same time, the 3,000 dark horse knights of the Evil Flame Emperor were also stationed on the east bank of the Yujiang River. The Daimon people saw that the black pressure on the opposite side was oppressive, and the pitch-black iron helmets of the black horses did have the appearance of hell cavalry, but when they saw that there were only a few thousand people on the opposite side, and the formation of tens of thousands of people on their side, the originally tense heart instantly relaxed. The sky gradually darkened, and a few stars appeared in the night sky in the east, and after the Evil Flame Emperor saw that the opponent's lineup was arranged, he immediately gave the order to prepare for the attack. Three thousand black horse cavalry jumped into the bottom of the dry Yujiang River and killed them to the west. The Damon people thought that the Evil Flame Emperor would win with few people, but they were wrong, the black horse cavalry was extremely fierce, the attack speed was extremely fast, and the ordinary blade could not cut into their skin at all without strength, even if a knife cut into their flesh, they did not feel any pain and did not affect the battle at all, unless they hit the heart to make them fatal, it was difficult to kill the black horse cavalry. The Daimon warriors suffered a big loss in less than an hour, one after another Daimon people lay on the cracked ground, the cracks at the bottom of the Yujiang River began to flow red blood, Ao Han saw that the situation was not right and ordered the whole army to retreat, and the Evil Flame Emperor pressed all the way to the west bank of the Yujiang River. If the Damon Clan does not stop the Evil Flame Emperor's footsteps at this time, then the dark horse cavalry will be killed all the way to the valley plain, and then the entire Damon Clan will really face a catastrophe.
The slaughter continued, and Hogan, who was covered in black blood, suddenly grabbed Ao Han's hand and said, "You go back and flee with your people to the west of the Shengya River, how far can you run, I will delay them here with my warriors, and I can't let them destroy our clan." Ao Han shouted at Hogan while killing: "You go back and evacuate them, I'm delaying here." Huo Gan grabbed Ao Han's left arm and yelled at Ao Han again: "You go quickly, you are the patriarch, the Damon clan still needs your leadership in the future, don't fight, I have never fought with you in my life, let it be given to me this time." Ao Han looked at Hogan, hesitated for a moment, then rode his horse and turned his head to run towards the gathering place of the Daemon warriors, Ao Han's face was full of tears and the people of the dynasty ran wildly, he knew that this time might really be the last time to fight side by side with Hogan.
Huo Gan led the nearly 2,000 Damon warriors who remained behind to fight to the death, and the Evil Flame Emperor fought with Huo Gan for hundreds of rounds, and in the end, only Huo Gan was left alone and besieged by the dark horse cavalry. The Evil Flame Emperor was so curious about the existence of such a brave and warlike person in the human world, and even forgot to hunt down the Damon clan all the way. When Hogan knelt on the ground with a big sword in his hand, he had no strength to fight again, and the Evil Flame Emperor jumped off his black horse and walked to Hogan's side and said to him, "Hero, you are the only one who deserves to die under my sword. Hogan looked up at him, bright red blood mixed with anger filling his eyes, and then the Evil Flame Emperor swung his long knife and killed Hogan.
After Ao Han returned to the tribe, he took the old and young men and women to abandon the valley plain and flee westward, Qiu Li and some frail and sick people refused to leave, they didn't want to add a burden to the people who could survive the Daimon tribe, Ao Han had no way to keep too much, but he didn't agree to Qiu Li to stay anyway, Ao Han pulled Qiu Li on his horse and fled west with those who could survive. With tears in their eyes, all those who were able to move around said goodbye to those who were willing to die on the plains of the valley, and Ao Han led the Daemon people and the remaining 8,000 or so Daemon warriors to the west under the cover of night and rushed towards the Shengya River, and when they reached the end of the forest, it was close to dawn, and they saw the plains of the valley blazing with all the houses burned.
The Evil Demon Emperor who attacked from the Sanhuan Mountain to the southeast also arrived at the Black Cong Mountains of Ma Jiu Wizard two days later, Ma Jiu sent the savage tribe to counterattack, the Evil Demon Emperor's offensive was even faster than the Evil Flame Emperor and the Evil Spirit Emperor, and the five thousand black horse cavalry crushed all the resistors like a dark cloud crossing, and they occupied the Black Cong Mountains from west to east. The Savages suffered numerous casualties, and the mountains of the Black Cong Mountains were littered with corpses. Ma Jiu was so shocked that he had to retreat to Tiemen Mountain to send his blood sacrifice.
Two days later, at dawn, Ma Jiu came to the Tiemen Mountain, where the big black stone gate was sealed, he took out his sword and cut his arm, and the blood flowed down the sword to the tip of the sword, and then Ma Jiu raised the sword and pointed it at the sky, reciting the witch language of the savage clan in his mouth. After a while, a thunderbolt smashed on his sword on a sunny day, Ma Jiu pointed his sword at Tiemen Mountain, and a bolt of lightning struck the big black stone door from the sword. A huge crystal ball inside Tiemen Mountain began to spin and burst, and in an instant, there was a piercing roar in Tiemen Mountain, and the boulder gate of Tiemen Mountain was opened, and eighteen pterosaurs more than two meters high flew out of the mountain. Ma Jiu rode one of them towards the black mountain to the west.
At this time, the dark horse cavalry of the Evil Demon Emperor was enjoying killing, and the savages no longer dared to confront them, and all they could do at this time could only keep fighting and retreating to buy time for Ma Jiu. The Demon Emperor didn't give them a chance to escape at all, and the neighing of the black horse chased after the footprints and killed them. When he reached the eighth mountain in the Black Cong Mountains, the Demon Emperor was just about to chase over the mountain, but suddenly heard a terrifying roar swirling between the mountains, the black horse cavalry stopped their advance and looked left and right, and the black horses under the crotch felt ominous and roared eagerly, and suddenly the two black horse cavalry behind the team were taken to the sky by a wing dragon that emerged from behind. Immediately afterward, the other seventeen pterosaurs also came out from all directions one after another, and the Demon Emperor was taken aback by this sudden attack, and the savages took advantage of the situation to make a detour back from the Black Cong Mountain. Eighteen pterosaurs spewed flames with sharp claws and mouths to shuttle back and forth among the black horse cavalry, the black horse cavalry brandished their swords in a vain attempt to kill the pterodactyl, the pterodactyl had Ma Jiu's blood flowing in its body, and their lifeblood was on Ma Jiu's body, so the sword could not hurt them, and only the life of killing Ma Jiu's pterosaur would return to him. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the Demon Emperor began to order the whole army to retreat, Ma Jiu led the eighteen winged dragons to press forward step by step, the flames spewed out by the winged dragons could penetrate their armor and skin, and the overwhelming fire poured down on the black horse cavalry like a flame waterfall, and the Evil Demon Emperor was driven back to the third cave in the Black Cong Mountain by the winged dragons and did not dare to show his head, and the original five thousand black horse cavalry were only about three thousand. The remnants of the Demon Emperor's defeated generals were frightened by these eighteen pterodactyls, and the black horse cavalry did not dare to send troops easily, so they could only hide in the cave and wait for the fighters. The savages outside the cave cheered at the victory, but Ma Jiu still had a sad face, he knew that things would not be solved so easily.
