"General, don't panic. An adjutant general said: "According to the last general, there are not many enemy troops who have come to attack us, they are just condescending and taking advantage of the position, we must immediately clean up the troops and horses, leave the canyon, once we reach the plain, this small group of enemy troops is not our opponent at all." ”

"Not bad. General, get an idea. Several lieutenants around him were urging Timur in unison, looking at him with blank eyes.

"Okay, as the generals say, let's retreat quickly. "If it weren't for the commander-in-chief, he would have fled with his head under the protection of his own soldiers.

As he was talking, he didn't know that tens of millions of people were shouting, and immediately, the sound of "boom" and "boom" continued to shake the sky, as if it was an earthquake. Timur and the others also looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

There were huge rocks on the top, and there was fire below, and Timur cursed loudly for the rebels and hurriedly ordered a retreat. Several lieutenants quickly dispersed and went separately to organize everyone to retreat.

Fortunately, the soldiers and horses under Totoku were all elite soldiers, and despite such an unfavorable situation, the 200,000-strong army quickly obeyed the order, braved the boulders above their heads, stepped on the raging fire under their feet, and quickly retreated. Timur, under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers, also hurriedly retreated.

In the dark night, after walking for more than half an hour, he finally left the company camp. There is a pass ahead, and Timur is waiting to breathe a sigh of relief, so that the army can be put in order before leaving.

Who knows, at this time, there was a shout from the cliff beside him, an earth-shattering roar, and the enemy army seemed to use huge gunpowder to blow up a small piece of the mountain, and the collapsed boulder blocked the road ahead, and then, the boulder more than one person high fell from the sky like rain, and smashed on the head of the army.

Timur also screamed bitterly. Busy asked loudly, what to do now?

The lieutenants under his command are also divided now, and some advocate turning back immediately, rushing out of the place where they came, rushing out of the canyon, and there is still a glimmer of life.

However, there are also those who argue that by digging the mountain road in situ, the enemy army has only blown up a small piece of the mountain with explosives, and the blocked mountain road will certainly not be long, and it will not take long to dig it through.

Timur also ran out of ideas, and was swaying, when there was a bright light on his head, the rockets and arrows on the cliff rained down, and the soldiers around him were hit by arrows one after another, wailing loudly, rolling all over the ground, one person was on fire, often with several people, and for a while, the soldiers and horses that had just been put in order were in a mess again.

Timur could no longer bear it any longer, and loudly ordered the rear team to rush out in the direction of the return as the front army. The three armies were like flies without heads, scurrying back and forth in the ghostly stream. In the chaos, I don't know how many of my own people have been injured by trampling to death.

I don't know how many soldiers and horses were broken, and finally rushed through the Stonehenge, rushed forward for dozens of miles, only to rush out of the company camp that burned into a sea of fire, and rushed forward a few miles, in front of a shoal, in the dark, the green clear water reflected the starlight, sparkling, the soldiers who were roasted and had dry mouths shouted, they couldn't bear it anymore, and when they saw such a pool of clear water, they all jumped into the water.

Timur and the others also restrained their horses, and then they all jumped off their horses and sat down to rest. The pro-soldiers on one side had already brought water with a big leather bag, and Timur and a group of lieutenants first took the skin and drank it to their heart's content, and then washed their faces and hands with water.

ran wildly in the sea of fire and boulders for an hour, which can be regarded as nine deaths and one life, saving one life.

Timur couldn't help but close his eyes and wanted to rest here for a while, but the lieutenants on both sides also collapsed on the ground, too tired to get up.

Who knows, as soon as I closed my eyes, before half a pillar of incense, I felt that my feet were shaking, as if it was ten thousand horses galloping in front of me, and it was like a big earthquake. Timur also opened his eyes first, but he did not see the boulder falling from the sky, and the soldiers also felt that something was wrong, and they all looked around.

An ominous premonition came to him, and Timur jumped to his feet, just about to order the army to hurry ashore. I saw that in the darkness in front of me, a white wall more than ten zhang high suddenly surged, but if you looked closely, it was a huge wave of more than ten zhang, coiled with a thunderous roar, and the sky collapsed and rushed over.

"It's not good, the embankment has broken ahead, everyone hurry ashore!" Timur shouted first, and the soldiers next to him also shouted in unison.

It's too late, it's too soon. The flood had reached the side in an instant, and the countless soldiers in front of them were suddenly swept into the boundless flood and disappeared.

The soldiers behind shouted and fled to the shore for their lives, no matter how fast the two legs were, they could not be faster than the flood, and in the blink of an eye, the river beach was completely submerged, and thousands of soldiers and horses were swept away by the flood.

The flood was much more than that, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the flood overflowed the banks of the river, and the whole canyon became an ocean.

Only a few soldiers who stood guard on the shore were swept away by the flood at once, and only a few quick-eyed soldiers climbed the big trees and cliffs on the shore to avoid being swept away by the flood.

Timur was also protected by several strong martial arts soldiers and jumped on a boulder jutting out of the cliff, and several lieutenants were also quick with their hands and feet, hiding in a big tree to avoid the flood.

Timur also stood on the boulder, only to see the waves below, the huge waves crashed on the cliff, making a thunderous sound, countless grinding plate-sized boulders and embrace-thick trees were uprooted, and they were swept away by the whirlpool in an instant.

Thousands of soldiers wailed one after another, and the soldiers on the shore wanted to reach out and hold them at first, but they didn't expect that they would be swept away by the flood immediately.

In the darkness, in addition to the roar of the flood, it was the wailing of the father and mother. The flood lasted more than half an hour before the water slowly subsided.

In this half hour, Timur seems to have passed half a year. His face was long gone, and he stood on the edge of the boulder, looking at the waves in the darkness, motionless.

After a long time, the lieutenant generals reacted, came to Timur's side dejectedly, shouted several times, and Timur reacted before he reacted.

Timur also looked at the lieutenant generals blankly and did not speak. One of the lieutenants said: "General, the flood has passed, let's immediately straighten out the soldiers and horses and see how many soldiers and horses remain." ”

Timur nodded as if he had done so, and sat down on the ground. Several lieutenants knew that he was a civilian official, and it was definitely unacceptable for him to go through so many tribulations overnight. After a few words of persuasion, several lieutenant generals went separately to count the soldiers and horses.

Timur was like this, and the soldiers in front of him did not dare to go up, for fear of offending the mold, and Timur sprinkled all his anger on himself.

After a short time, several lieutenants finished counting the troops and horses. Also Timur also returned to the ground.

"General Qiyu, the count of men and horses has been completed. An adjutant general looked at Yexian Timur and whispered.

Timur seemed to have recovered a little at this time, and said slowly: "Say, how many people are left?"

"This, General. The adjutant general saw that Timur's face was cloudy, and he said hesitantly: "General, there are less than 2,000 men left." ”

"What? 2,000 people!" several lieutenants around the area blew up the pot.

"Two thousand centaurs, two thousand centaurs. Timur muttered to himself, and he glanced around him, only to see that the lieutenant had gathered the rest of the soldiers and horses around him, and most of them were wounded, and they were all dejected, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor, which was miserable.

"What now?" said Timur weakly, "what face do I have to meet the handsome Tokhtar." ”

"General, now the back road is blocked, and there is only one way ahead. An adjutant general cautiously said: "We can only follow the waterway that the flood has just washed down to see if we can get out of this deep stream." ”

"No! The flood just now was so sudden, it must have been the enemy's doing. Another lieutenant objected loudly and said: "The enemy's intention is very obvious, obviously to block our back road, they want us to go from here, and then they will lay an earthen gate here, and when we arrive, they will blow up the earthen gate, release a flood, and kill us." Now, they must be waiting in front of us, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, how can we go forward, and are we not openly sent to death?"

"Then what should we do? There are ambushes in front, and the back road is blocked, so we will wait for death in this deep stream?"

Timur listened for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Don't quarrel." Waiting for a death is a big deal, and rushing out is not a big deal. Soldiers, now we can only rush forward and seek survival in death. ”

I didn't expect that Timur, who had always been weak, would be able to say this, and everyone didn't say anything again, and the remnants of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses followed Timur and walked forward dejectedly.

"Guo Dashuai, it's already the second watch, should we go back to the entrance to gather?" In the tunnel, there was a few time differences, and everyone was still going around in the newly dug tunnel, and they couldn't find any secret passages at all.

"Chongba, think about it again, how did you and Xiuying fall into the secret passage at that time?" Guo Zixing prepared for several days, but he didn't expect to even see the shadow of the secret passage, where was he willing to be willing, and urged Zhu Chongba again.

This question has been asked back and forth dozens of times, Zhu Chongba really can't answer, so he has to say again: "Dashuai, at that time, the eldest lady and I also fell into the secret passage inexplicably, the situation was chaotic at that time, and I didn't realize that I was in another secret passage, I didn't pay attention to it at all, and now I really can't think of it." ”

"Let's do this today, let's hurry back to the Shuai tent and see what good news Peng Dahe Tang and them have!" Guo Zixing threw away the torch in his hand, waved his hand to let people lead the way, and went back to the ground first.
