Chapter 235 In order to live
Chapter 235 In order to live
In mid-October, the desert in late autumn experienced extreme climate change, with the hot day and the cold camels curled up in tents to sleep at night. [No pop-up novel network]
In the middle of such a bone-chilling night, Ye Huan stood at the head of the city, looking at the desert opposite, he wanted to squeeze out a little smile and boost the morale of his own soldiers around him, but he looked at the opposite side for a while...... Very spinelessly, not only could he not laugh, but even his legs and stomach were a little weak
Opposite are two camps
The camp in the distance is very large, there are more than 50,000 people, this camp alone is enough to resist the entire Salvation Sect, and there is a small camp in front of the big camp, the scale is very small, only one or two hundred thousand people, most of them are women and children who are not threatening, it is the relatives and family members of Graybeard and others who were captured by Ouyang Feng a few days ago
This is Ouyang Feng's East Daying, located at the east gate of Moyun
A camp like this, of the same size, and three others, blocked the other three gates of Moyun, totaling 200,000 troops and 50,000 or 60,000 hostages
"Compared to Ouyang Feng, we are still too far behind......" Miss Nikolai stood beside Ye Huan and sighed softly, "In just a few days, we have mobilized an army of 200,000 and mobilized all kinds of masters and generals on the Great Desert, at least more than 600 people, such a king of the desert, we can't win."
Ye Huan didn't speak
The Salvation Sect was not Ouyang Feng's opponent, he had already thought of it, but he was more worried about one other thing
Not long ago, Lu Xiu went to Baige City to discuss the construction of the clothed tomb, but he has not come back at this time, was he detained by Ouyang Feng, or did he find a place to hide? That is the first believer to join the Salvation Sect, Ye Huan's most hardcore friend, no matter what accident happens to him, Ye Huan can't afford it
At this time, Meteor rushed to the city wall, still clutching a few official documents in his hands
Ye Huan knew what she was going to say, and said with a wry smile: "The food in the city ...... Isn't it?"
Meteor looked like he was going to be on fire, but when he heard Ye Huan's words, he could only bow his head and sigh, "Don't talk about food, even the camels have been eaten...... Damn, if this is Inner 6, we can at least eat grass roots and tree bark, but above this desert, there are only grapevines and cacti, and if we eat it, we will have diarrhea...... Even if we don't care about diarrhea, we won't be able to eat enough of this thing."
"In a word, how many more days can we hold out?"
“...... Up to two days"
Meteor was silent for a while, "Ye Huan, let's find a chance to break through, otherwise if we wait, we will only starve to death and die of thirst."
"Breakout?"
Ye Huan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? I wanted to break through on the first day, but the other side ...... That's an army of 200,000 people, and Ouyang Feng himself is in charge, we leave the protection of the city wall, and we will immediately be exposed to the impact of unicorns, and when the time comes, we will die faster."
"And even if the breakthrough is successful, where can we go?" Ye Huan pointed to the distance, "Out of Moyun, except for sand or sand, we broke through, and we had to wander in the desert, and then, starved to death, thirsty to death"
Meteor gritted his teeth, "Are we going to wait here to die?"
"Things have come to this point...... Ye Huan said with a little difficulty: "There is only one last way"
......
A few minutes later, Ye Huan came to the prisoner of war camp where the prisoners were held.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the horse thief captive, Simon, an old friend who was half a traitor, was also imprisoned here, of course, he and Honglong were treated the same, both in a separate small earthen kiln, and dozens of soldiers took turns to guard them.
Ximen was sitting at the window looking at the moon, and when he heard Ye Huan's footsteps coming in, he sneered without looking back: "The Salvation Sect can't hold on, right?"
"How do you know?" Ye Huan sat opposite the west gate.
"In the past few days when I was captured by you, I still had wine to drink and meat to eat, but in the last two days, you just gave me some water, and I didn't even have a piece of moldy bread, which can only show that Ouyang Feng has cut off your food and made you run out of food."
Ximen really knows Ouyang Feng very well, "And with my understanding of Ouyang, he likes to take it step by step and gradually eat away at his opponent, so in addition to cutting off your food and grass, he also cut off your financial resources, captured your hostages, blocked your reinforcements, and finally ...... It's the army besieging the city and slowly tricking you to death, right?"
Ye Huan nodded silently.
After teasing him for a while, venting his resentment at being captured, Simon's face looked a little better, "Say, what are you doing with me?"
"I want to beg for mercy"
"What?" Simon stood up.
"I said, I want to beg for mercy" Ye Huan spread out his hands, "In the past few days, I have finally seen the power of the king of the desert, within a few days, I will run out of ammunition and food, close the city and wait for death, such a king of the desert, I can't win, I can only beg for mercy"
The anger that Ximen had just vented came out again, "Ye Huan, who do you think you are?"
"To be honest, I don't believe Ouyang Feng will let me go, but ...... There are always some opportunities."
boom
Ye Huan slapped the peerless enchantment on the table, "Do you see this knife?"
"Peerless and enchanting, isn't this ......"
"It doesn't matter where he came from, you just need to know that this is a psychological game I played with Ouyang Feng" Ye Huan narrowed his eyes, "On the day of the war, I deliberately defeated the Red Dragon with this knife, and now Ouyang Feng should also get the news...... The peerless enchanting decoration is cast by Ouyang's bride's head, there is only one bride, but there are two peerless bewitching ones, if you are Ouyang Feng, what will you think?"
Ximen suddenly realized, "Ouyang Feng is very affectionate, he will definitely think like this...... Hell, I killed my bride with my own hands and used her head to decorate it with a scimitar, but now, there is a peerless enchantment, does my bride still have a doppelganger? If there is a second, there will be a third, can I still find my bride...... Just rush this, Ouyang Feng will be willing to listen to you say a few words, and you will have a negotiating head."
Ye Huan pointed to the next door again, "In addition, I also have the Red Dragon and eight thousand horse thieves captive Ouyang Feng is affectionate and righteous, cherishes his soldiers as his life, and with these hostages in hand, do you think he will drive me to a dead end?" After a pause, "Ouyang has gathered 200,000 troops, and he may attack Mo Yun at any time, but he can't lead troops, which shows that he actually cares about these captives, so after I get the opportunity to speak with peerless enchantment, I can use these captives to beg for mercy."
Simon thought for a moment, "So...... You really have a chance, but you have to be mentally prepared, you are not as strong as others, even if Ouyang Feng doesn't kill you this time and doesn't destroy your salvation faction, he will impose some unequal treaties on you."
"Hmm...... I think about it, yes, he may force you to disarm, and from now on, the total strength of the Salvation Sect will not exceed 20,000 In addition, he may also confiscate all your water sources, so that you will have to borrow water from Bai Gecheng in the future, and control your water lifeline......"
"I've thought of all of this"
Ye Huan looked up to the sky and sighed, "But in order to survive, no matter how harsh the conditions, I have to agree, don't I?"
“......”
Simon nodded, "Yes, it's all about living...... Say, what am I going to do?"
......
Early the next morning, Simon was on his way.
He has two tasks, one is to act as an intermediary in the peace talks, first to help Ye Huan do some foreshadowing before the peace talks and begging for mercy, for example, bribing a few important people in Baige City, helping Ye Huan say a few good words in Ouyang Feng's ear, and second, to find out if Lu Xiu was detained by Ouyang Feng.
There has been no news of Lu Xiu for half a month, and Ye Huan has a faint bad premonition.
At the same time, in order to express the sincerity of the peace talks, Ye Huan released 3,000 horse thieves and handed them over to Simon to bring back with him - this Simon was very welcome, in his words, he could bring back 3,000 brothers, and some of his guilt could be reduced.
There was only a dozen miles of desert between the Moyun Oasis and Ouyang Feng's camp, and it took an hour or two to walk back and forth, but Ximen walked for more than four hours, and still only walked half the way.
He didn't dare to go fast
To be precise, he was very afraid to meet Ouyang Feng
Think about it, Ximen has recently turned over three major crimes in a row, one is to lose the Bloon Dune, the other is to destroy the old city lord's clothes and tombs, and recently, he turned his face with the Salvation faction when dealing with the captives, resulting in the defeat of 10,000 white lotus horse thieves, and more than 8,000 people were captured by others, three deadly crimes, each of which is a major crime of killing the head, this time when he returns to Ouyang Feng's side, even if he does not die, he will be beaten off a layer of skin
Ximen suddenly thought of Ye Huan's demonic face last night:
At that time, as soon as he heard that he wanted to be the intermediary of the peace talks, he was so frightened that he screamed on the spot and refused, but Ye Huan, the demon, ...... The demon actually took out a towel slowly, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and then said with a smile, "You don't want to go?" Yes, I let the red dragon get right, of course, I will let him wear this towel, which can be regarded as expressing the sincerity of the peace talks......
alas
When I met Ye Huan in this life, I was really fucking unlucky
Thinking like this, the pace at Ximen's feet became more and more difficult, but there was always a time when he walked more than ten miles, and faintly, he could already see the pure white lotus flag fluttering above the camp
At this moment, a scene that changed Simon's life and was the most interesting scene on the fourth timeline was born
"General Simon, please stay"
Behind the sand dunes on the opposite side, a group of centaurs suddenly flashed, all riding unicorns, wearing white armor, and looking like the most ordinary white lotus horse thieves. The 3,000 captives that Simon brought back even cheered, finally meeting his own brother, but Simon ......
Hearing this man's voice, Simon was stunned for a long time.
Then the man came up affectionately, took Simon by the arm, and walked behind the dunes, and told the captive, "Brothers, you have gone home, go to the camp to eat meat and drink wine, and rest for a while, General Simon, I have been ordered to tell him some secret military affairs, and then go back later."
The captives rushed into the camp with shouts of joy and cheers, but Simon looked at the man in astonishment for a while, and could not help exclaiming, "You ...... Aren't you dead yet?".
