Chapter 316: A Strange Path
But he could only hope that they would not dare to take risks, that no one would dare to be the smart ones who would uncover the scars, especially the guards of Minger.
The current situation is very interesting, at the front is the New Red Moon Pass, then 300,000, oh, now there are only 200,000 grassland people left.
Then there was Philip, then hundreds of thousands of prairie people, and finally Philip's 60,000 people, which were as layered as a double-layered biscuit.
And Philip happens to be the jam in the middle that plays the role of garnish and seasoning, which looks extremely delicious and delicious, and is simply the soul of the whole biscuit.
Philip, who exists as a sandwich jam, is very self-aware, and in his current state, not to mention tens of thousands, even hundreds of people can tear him apart.
Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a thunderous roar in the sky, and two silver figures swooped down from the sky one after the other, knocking dozens of approaching steppe wolves into broken bones and rolling into a ball.
Philip finally breathed a sigh of relief, Arthur, the little bastard, still has a bit of a brain, and even knows how to find rescuers.
At this moment, it was Paul who was riding on Arthur's back, and the Phantom was Aphro's on his back, and the two of them each held a shield in one hand, sandwiched Philip in the middle, and then put a safety rope around Philip's waist and pulled him up from the ground.
Interestingly, in order to rely on it, they actually hung Dang Sen under the horse again, dangling, and Philip on the other side.
Most of the warriors of the Holy Beast Tribe were on the south side of the scene, while on the north side were the elite troops directly under Mingge, and there were some rat throwers on both sides, until the two of them brought Philip to the sky, and they didn't react out of the ordinary after all.
"Who is this?" Paul wondered.
Philip tried to make it easy, but the wound on his body made him shiver.
"It should be the Prairie Daxun Mingge, if I'm not mistaken. Only now did he feel a little real, and he couldn't tell why he was so impulsive just now.
......
Paul twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not speak, for the frightened pale face of Dangsen, who hung like a sausage, had already explained the answer.
On the other side, Afu couldn't wait to start treating Philip in the air, and other injuries still needed to be carefully examined, and more than just blood would drain.
At this time, Bruce had already led a large army to press in from behind, and the strict formation and murderous aura brought great deterrence to the prairie people.
Without a leader, Mingge's personal soldiers and elites cautiously shrank in the direction of Red Moon Pass, while the steppe people who remained in place stood there stunned and at a loss.
The first to put down the sword was a personal soldier of Dang Sen, and other grassland people may have excuses, but the label on his body is too obvious, even if he returns to the grassland at this time, what awaits him will be beheaded to show the public, and even affect his family.
With the lead, more and more steppe people gave up resistance, and under the herd effect, large-scale surrender became almost inevitable.
Especially after receiving some kind of assurance from Philip, Dang Sen, who was already able to move his legs gently, showed great cooperation, and Mingge had already died at the hands of this young devil without dignity, and he could not find any reason to hold on.
Only the remnants of the more than 10,000 warriors of the Jinghu tribe were a little uneasy, and under the instigation of their little prince, the 20,000 Mingge personal guard regiment suddenly launched a counterattack, trying to create chaos.
Before Paul could do anything, the warriors of the Ryu Bo took the opportunity to vent their anger.
The little prince of the Mirror Lake tribe, Tanlu, and all his tribesmen were beheaded, both conscious and unconscious.
During the whole process, the steppe people of the Holy Beast Tribe behaved very restrained, not only because Dang Sen hung in the sky, but also because Bruce led the three regiments of the Chinese Army and Maga to pounce, and the strength and weakness were clear.
The process of surrender was very smooth, and most of it was completed before dark, not only the warriors of the Lunbo tribe were very active, but even the warriors of the Holy Beast tribe actually helped them to control the surrender of several other medium tribes.
I have to say that this makes Philip more and more satisfied with the 'deep understanding of righteousness' Dangsen.
Generally speaking, the situation has become clearer and clearer, although there are still nearly 200,000 grassland people in the former army who continue to launch attacks on the new Red Moon Pass, but the news of Mingge's 'capture' still greatly shakes the morale of the army, the frequency and speed of the attack have dropped by almost half, and they are approaching a complete ceasefire.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the fall of Mingge in the offensive and defensive battles on the southern front, Dang Sen was captured, and the defeat of the leaderless steppe people was decided, and it was only a matter of time.
But things in the world are always so coincidental, so coincidental that it makes people feel that these are all gods silently controlling everything.
When it was completely night, more than a dozen commanders of the grassland people on the front line gathered on the ruins of the Red Moon Pass to discuss something.
They argued fiercely, and there were even signs of a move, and one of them, the most senior man with a black face, slapped him on the ground.
"Shut up!"
Immediately the scene fell silent, and the big man nodded in satisfaction, but before he could continue to speak, he felt a slight vibration from the ground.
Is it because of my slap?
He looked at his palms suspiciously, they were made of flesh like everyone else, but soon they knew where the shock was coming from.
The new Hongyue Pass is built between two mountain walls 800 meters behind the ruins of the Red Moon Pass, and the terrain looks more precipitous than the latter, but why it was not chosen here in the first place, there are objective reasons.
Perhaps because of the shock caused by the explosion of Philip's huge incendiary bomb during the day, and after tens of thousands of people fighting for most of the day, a half-foot-wide crack on the east side of the mountain wall expanded and broke.
The whole rock detached from the mountain wall, and finally at this time, because it could not bear its own weight, it began to slide downward, and made a sound.
The soldiers guarding the New Red Moon Pass were hurrying to clean up the pile of corpses almost as high as the city wall, looking for any surviving comrades inside, when they suddenly heard a 'click, click' sound not far away, and before they could find the source of the sound, the sound became louder and louder, and the entire New Red Moon Pass seemed to be shaking, and even the crack that was knocked out by the bear beast had expanded a lot.
When Matthew reached the top of the city, he happened to witness the spectacular scene of half of the mountain wall collapsing.
The collapsed mountain wall did not directly smash on the Red Moon Pass, but top-heavy on the side of the wall of the New Red Moon Pass.
It didn't matter if it just collapsed, after all, the broken boulder also blocked the way of the steppe people, but when the smoke and dust cleared, Matthew and all the soldiers guarding the city wall were stunned.
Starting from 300 meters behind the ruins of the Red Moon Pass, a new passage appeared on the mountain wall on the entire east side that could completely bypass the new Red Moon Pass and go directly to the pass.
Although the passage is not smooth, it is more passable than the terrain of the medium-risk areas, and it is wide.
The worst thing is that the huge rock that fell down and the fragments of the mountain wall were so good that they could not die to block the shooting boundary of the new Red Moon Pass, giving the grassland people an almost perfect entrance.
Matthew's appetite seemed to have been punched out of thin air, turning over the river and the sea and surging and twitching, thinking that with the cooperation of father and son, the crisis on the southern front had been completely lifted.
In particular, the corpse of Da Xun Mingge is now kept in the freezer.
Although I don't know how my son did it, this is the first steppe Daxun to be killed in the whole war, and that thin and dry piece of stinky meat is worth a fortune, enough to exchange for the title of a marquis.
Originally, everything was going well, but it seemed that God had made people, and before he could report to the division headquarters and the military headquarters, it dramatically exposed a fatal flaw in Xinhongyueguan.
What's even more fatal is that he can't mobilize more cavalry at the moment, although there is still a line of defense behind him, but there are only one or two thousand recruits waiting for reorganization, which is nothing.
Almost all the cavalry of the entire southern defense line have gathered in the New Red Moon Pass at this moment, and through continuous rotation to fill the city wall, the casualties have been as high as sixty percent.
The entry of hundreds of thousands of steppe people may be just a disease of scabies, which will not cause much damage, but the symbolic significance is very significant, and with his existing cavalry, it is not as easy as it seems to encircle and intercept these elite steppe cavalry.
Matthew, who has always been known for his deep and unsmiling image, has now shown the most hideous expression in more than 40 years.
Now it is pointless to pursue the engineering regiment that surveyed and built the land, and half of the engineers who have changed their weapons and armor have fallen on the city wall.
But he must not let the steppe wolf enter the pass, and he must not let the honor of the mad lion family be dusted on him, and he must wipe out all the steppe people in the rear defense line, or even block this gap, even if it requires sacrificing his life.
The nearly 200,000 grassland people on the front line were ecstatic, they had already determined that this was the miracle blessing of the god Rondo, and it was the will of Daxun Mingge that remained in the world, and at this moment they were constantly rushing into the gap and marching towards the pass.
"Albert, the city wall has been handed over to you, and I will lead people to pursue it. Matthew shouted at his old friend.
"Take care!" Albert, who injured his calf, naturally knew the severity of the matter, and he didn't talk nonsense, he knew that with the speed of the steppe people's movement, I was afraid that it was too late, and he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.
At this time, Matthew was able to lead no more than 2,500 light and heavy cavalry, and a maximum of 5,000 infantry, and even then they were all wounded.
Fortunately, the exit of the passage is close to here, and these infantry may be able to block the exit temporarily, but without enough cavalry, it will be very troublesome to clear out the steppe people who have already entered the pass.
As long as a few thousand steppe people run to any village or town, then he is the sinner of the entire Gaokan City.
Albert struggled to his feet, gave Matthew a tight hug, and whispered in his ear, "Take care!"
Matthew nodded, turned and walked down the city.
The ballistas and trebuchets on the walls of the city were constantly firing covering hundreds of meters, but only to reduce the number of enemy passes.
