Chapter 316: All the Way West
readx;? The day before yesterday, the rattan rope was used to cross the canyon at the junction of Lang and Ji, and in the next two days, the team of the Lizi Battalion was still slowly advancing on the Baitou Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles, because the food had already been eaten on the day of the climb, and now it was almost evening, and the movement of this group became more and more difficult - when they were thirsty, they could drink some snow water, but when they were hungry, those mountain fruits could not be wrapped in their stomachs at all, and after a few days, they were already exhausted by now. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast // ()
There are constantly people who can't catch up with the team that is moving forward firmly for various reasons, watching those soldiers disappear from sight one by one, Qiu Guofeng has no way to do it, just like Hua Qingwu said to him, now these four or five thousand people, if you take care of everyone, I am afraid that you will never be able to get out of this Baitou Mountain, so now there are less than two thousand people left in this line, and the rest are some strong-willed soldiers with good physical strength.
Taking advantage of the rest time, looking at the team behind him with fewer and fewer people, Qiu Guofeng's face was full of helplessness, but he didn't have any way, if he waited for those people, the time for his people to walk out of such a Baitou Mountain would undoubtedly become much longer, and now Lang Guo didn't know what the situation was, and the consequences of staying here rashly were probably even more unimaginable.
"How long will it take for us to get out of this mountain?" Looking down at the injury on his leg, Qiu Guofeng's eyes fell on Dumb's face, thanks to Dumb's continuous finding some herbs to help him treat his wounds along the way, now Qiu Guofeng's wound on his leg has scarred, otherwise I don't know how much suffering he will have to suffer.
After knowing that Dumb was the person of Night Shadow, Qiu Guofeng didn't ask much, seeing that he always stayed with Hua Qingwu, Qiu Guofeng thought that he was one of the main persons in charge of Night Shadow, so if there was any question, he didn't ask Hua Qingwu, but asked Dumb directly.
"Judging from the map given to me by Hua Qingwu, you can go down the mountain a few miles further, but it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, I am afraid it will take some time, there are two forks in the mountain, one leads to Yangguan City, and the other leads to Bofan City. Dumb looked at Qiu Guofeng and said, after finishing speaking, Dumb looked at the soldiers of the Lizi Battalion who followed behind, and his face showed a trace of helplessness, these people are too tired, if they were not supported by their tenacious will, I am afraid they would have collapsed on the ground and fallen asleep, but compared to the exhaustion of the soldiers of the Lizi Battalion, Wang Qiqi's subordinates are better, and the physical strength of the remaining less than 100 people in the night shadow can also hold on for a while.
"I don't know what happened to Boss Li Wang?" Glancing at Hua Qingwu, Guo Qi asked with a worried face, and Wang Hui on the side also smiled bitterly when he heard this, "This time Night Shadow is a fallen family." ”
"What are you two complaining about? As long as we don't die, Nightshade will always exist. Hua Qingwu looked at Guo Qi and Wang Hui and said, after finishing speaking, Hua Qingwu looked at the east, "According to the time, if Brother Li goes well, he should be here now." Hua Qingwu was silent for a moment after speaking, "As long as he's okay, it's fine." ”
"You said that since those thieves didn't chase and kill us, what have they been doing in the past three days?" Looking at Hua Qingwu and the others, who were in a certain mood, Ah Dumb changed the topic to the side.
"Maybe we're waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net. Chen Haoluo heard Dumb's words and opened his mouth to speak.
"No, because it's not for us. Yuan Xishan shook his head and said.
"Right now, we don't have enough people left, and they can't stuff their teeth. Li Tianqi also said with a wry smile on the side at this time.
"I'm afraid they're besieging the city. Qiu Guofeng stood up from the ground at this time, "Maybe the city has been breached by them." ”
"It won't be so fast, will it?" Hearing Qiu Guofeng's words, he was stunned.
"Yangguan City and Bofan City each have 40,000 defenders, although Lang has been increasing its military strength over the years, but it is all in the expansion of personnel, and the city walls are in disrepair, unlike the capital of Lang City, the city is high and thick, these thieves are concentrated together to attack the city, the number of people is too large, they are difficult to defend. After Qiu Guofeng finished speaking, he sighed, "This is still a good situation, you must know that now that Lang Guo and Ning Guo are at war, and each city has mobilized troops to go to the border, how many people are left in Yangguan City and Bofan City is probably not enough for those thieves to kill." ”
"How many troops does Lang have in total. Dumb asked a question.
"There used to be 300,000, but now I'm afraid there are less than 200,000 left. Qiu Guofeng paused as he spoke, "If these thieves were left in the past, it was nothing, but now that the war between Lang and Ning is at a stalemate, if the emperor sends an army to help, Ning will have a chance." ”
"If you don't come back, I'm afraid it's nothing. Hua Qingwu, who had been listening quietly, thought for a while and said, "The thieves group has a total of less than 70,000 people, and there are eleven cities in Lang Kingdom, these thieves groups can take two or three cities at best, and they will have no impact on the battle situation between Lang and Ning, if the emperor sends someone back to save himself, Ningguo's side will lose the upper hand, and the battle situation will be even more unfavorable to Lang Guo." Hua Qingwu smiled after speaking, "I'm afraid the emperor can see this trick at a glance, it's a pity to these cities." ”
"What should we do next?" Listening to Hua Qingwu's analysis, Dumb's brows furrowed tightly, "Now even if we go down the mountain, won't it still fall into the hands of those thieves?"
"Now it's only one step at a time. After Hua Qingwu finished speaking, he looked at the west, "Let's go, try to go down the mountain in one go, and then everyone will discuss going to that city again." ”
Seeing Hua Qingwu's eyes looking over, Qiu Guofeng nodded, and then beckoned the deputy general to order those soldiers to get up and start to move on, watching those soldiers get up, Dumb greeted Yuan Xishan and the others, and then they continued to walk at the front of the team with Hua Qingwu Guo Qi to open the way, the sunset slowly fell, and the whole world fell into darkness again. From a distance, there were only sporadic firelights slowly shuttling along the mountainside like fireflies.
Different from these fires in Baektu Mountain, at the junction of Langguo and Ningguo, the firelight illuminates the sky, and some burning dead trees make a sizzling sound when burning, and billowing wolf smoke rises.
Looking at the people who were lying on the ground and resting casually after a day of fighting, Ye Qiaoshui's eyes slowly looked to the east from the bodies of these soldiers, and three hundred zhang in front of him was the army of Lang Kingdom, where there was also a fire, and some figures could be faintly seen shaking in front of the bonfire.
The wind lifted the veil in front of Ye Qianshui, and she frowned lightly and then looked at the north, although the battle between the southern countries and the Yan country three months ago failed, but all this was within Ye Qianshui's expectations- Although there are six countries in the south, the overall strength is not as good as the Yan country, and in the case of the countries with their own mentality, the war is just the fuse, the purpose is to unify the southern countries, and now the Ning country has swept away the countries in the west, and the Lang country also took the three small countries in the southeast of the Lang country within Ye Qianshui's expectations, and now it is the stage of stalemate between the Lang country and the Ning country, and the result is impossible to lose both, only one can be saved, this is the result of Ye weakwater.
"Commander, General Sword wants to see you. A soldier came behind Ye Qiaoshui, bent down and clenched his fists and said.
Hearing the voice, Ye Qiaoshui turned around, "Pass the order, let the soldiers be vigilant, I'm afraid that Shanglang Kingdom will sneak attack tonight." ”
The soldier nodded, and after Ye Qiaoshui passed in front of him, he straightened up and ran towards the front-line soldier in front.
Inside the tent, Jian Thirteen saw Ye Qianshui coming in, so he stepped forward to give a salute, Ye Qianshui just waved his hand lightly, and did not say anything, and then silently came to the middle of the tent to make a topographic map made of sand.
"Master, there has been news from Third Brother Liu, as soon as Sunshine City is broken, all the city soldiers will be killed, and the people will not be disturbed. Jian Thirteen looked at Ye Xiaoshui and told the news he had just gotten.
"It's a bit slow. Ye Qianshui, who heard the news, didn't raise his head, but just said softly, although Ye Qianshui didn't care about what he said, but Jian Thirteen was shocked in his heart, and he remembered something He said to Ye Qianshui, "I heard that I met a cultivator from Lang Country outside the border stopper, and Gu Feng of the thieves group was seriously injured for this, so it was delayed for some hours." ”
"You don't have to defend Liu Yi. Ye Xiaoshui glanced up at Jian Thirteen, "He and Shangguan Haoyu are both the same character, if you slaughter the city, I'm afraid it will be much faster." ”
Hearing Ye Wanshui's words, Jian Thirteen nodded lightly, and then continued, "Second Brother Qiao also has news from there, Yan Guo has some army transfers recently, but it is not frequent. ”
"I know Lu Tianxing's character. Speaking of this, Ye Qiaoshui chuckled, "Since he knows that I am here, then he will not give up, and when the war between the two kingdoms of Ning Lang is over, I am afraid that if I don't go north, he will send troops to the south." ”
"The host has a point. Looking at Ye Xiaoshui, who was looking down at the sand dune map, Jian Thirteen took two steps forward, and then whispered, "There is no news from Lang Guo's side yet." ”
"Give the official some time to recover, and I'm sure he can handle everything well. Ye Qiaoshui's body, which was originally moving, paused slightly after hearing Jian Thirteen's words, and then spoke slowly.
"The 100,000 troops of Lang have been sticking to the border passes, and if this continues, countless soldiers will die every day......"
"Guan Xiufu has been in Lang Country for eighteen years, and now he is the teacher of the crown prince of Lang State, he is one of the few people in the dark incense team who is bent on revenge and founding the country, I believe that once he succeeds, the war between Ning and Lang will end, and then he can raise the power of all countries to go north. ”
"Is Ning Haobo willing?" Jian Thirteen said with a frown.
"The power of the army is in my hands, and he can't disagree. Ye Qianshui smiled and said, Ye Wanshui, who remembered something after finishing speaking, looked at Jian Thirteen, "Tomorrow you send someone to pick up Lu Yu from the Ningguo Palace." ”
"What the host meant...... Childe is the blood of the master and the lord, if there is a slip ......"
"Just do as I say, men should go to the battlefield and experience it. After saying this, Ye Xiaoshui looked at Jian Thirteen, "Do you know why Liu Yi came into contact with the people of the Demon Sect outside the Fire City?"
"I haven't heard this from Sange Liu. ”
"I did hear the news. Ye Qiaoshui said and left the sand dune map, and when he came to the outside of the tent, he looked at the starlight in the night sky, and after a while, he looked back at Jian Thirteen and said, "The leader of the Demon Sect is the young man who killed Mo Li." ”
"Su Qin?" Sword Thirteen, who was no stranger to these stories, frowned and spat out these two words, "Didn't he die in the battle outside the Fire City, and the Huangquan Sword seemed to have fallen into the hands of the people of the Demon Sect." ”。
"Yes. Speaking of this, Ye Wanshui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to Jian Thirteen and whispered, "But why do I have the feeling that he is not dead, but is approaching me?"
