Pride (2)
His hand suddenly froze, and Jiaohe slowly picked up the wooden staff, which he respectfully handed over, and said as if comforting the old man, "Please wait for us to come back."
The old man stared at Jiaohe in a daze, feeling the touch of the wooden staff slowly falling into his palm.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and immediately lifted the curtain and walked out.
The warriors in the tent looked around, and Jiaohe turned to Angqin and said, "The left court of the atrium is gone, do you know where those demons have gone?"
Aung Chin pondered and said, "Judging by the footprints, they have all returned from the trade route."
Břígood stood up, and he guessed, "Judging by the route, it must be the guide who is showing them the way."
Jiaohe stared at each other and said in a deep voice, "Then it must be going to Manhongguan."
Ang Qin immediately said, "Then we can attack from the rear, they must not have guessed!"
Jiaohe did not answer, and Burigood raised his hand to signal Angqin not to worry.
Jiaohe pondered for a long time, then let go of the hand that rubbed his chin and said, "Angqin, you take a team of 1,000 warriors to the right court of the desert."
Ang Qin asked in surprise, "What are you doing in the right court of the desert?"
"Those demons are attacking the Red Pass, and their base must be empty and unguarded." Jiaohe walked around the campfire and said, "Go and burn all the big boats on the coast, and then go west from the ancient riverbed around the right court."
Ang Qin frowned and was puzzled, and Jiaohe immediately turned around and pointed to the desert map laid behind the bonfire, and said, "Walk along the wall of Manhongguan and enter from here in the border county." He pointed to a place on the map, "There is a wall that has not been repaired for many years, and it can be passed by men and horses, and now that the battle is full of red passes, all the armor soldiers must be defending in the pass."
Sensing that his plan was abrupt, Burigood carefully examined the map, then turned to Jiaohe and asked, "Enter from here, then you will go to the west of Zhengguo, what do you want to do?"
The samurai all looked at Jiaohe in bewilderment.
"Burigood and I will be the first to lead the team into this place to make sure that there are no signs of Zheng Guoren spotting our entry." Jiaohe pointed to the back of Daizhou on the map, "This is a river that runs through Daizhou and Chongdu, and it was originally a swamp with heavy floods all year round. But the canal that was repaired many years ago diverted the river, so it has been quiet in Daizhou all these years."
Approaching the map, Břigood said, "Then we will go from the side of the Red Mountain Horse Road."
Jiaohe nodded at him, gave him an appreciative look, and said, "Yes, after Angqin burned the big boat, he will meet us here, and then destroy the canal."
Ang Qin's eyes narrowed more and more, and he said in disbelief, "Destroying the canal? That flood will wash away the Red Mountain Horse Road and completely separate Daizhou and Chongdu."
Jiaohe nodded and said, "After destroying the canal, the flood will completely flood the Red Mountain Road, and Daizhou will also become a Zeguo. Then we went back the way we came, detouring from the ancient riverbed of the desert to the western border of Zhengguo."
Burigood's thoughts were like electricity, and he thought quickly and said, "But the western border is guarded by Jiao Hongxue, we have never dealt with him, and the western border is more tightly defended than the Manhong Pass."
Ang Qin also said, "The Red Mountain Horse Road is the only road leading to Chongdu—"
Before the words fell, Ang Qin and Burigud's eyes widened, and they looked at Jiaohe in horror.
"Yes, as soon as the Red Mountain Horse Road is broken, Chongdu will not be able to send troops to reinforce Manhongguan. Man Hongguan can't retreat to Chongdu." Jiaohe's face turned pale between the words he spitted out, "Man Hongguan can only fight to the death and not retreat."
Neither Burigood nor Angqin dared to breathe, and the warriors looked at the three of them in confusion.
Ang Qin asked in horror, "Why did you do this?"
"To defeat the enemy and annihilate them completely." Jiaohe said bloodlessly, "As long as the Red Mountain Horse Road is destroyed, these demonic monsters will only be able to go around. To the east is the sea, but if Angqin burns the big ships, they will not be able to swim through the sea, but can only enter Kyushu from the boundary of Jiao Hongxue in the west."
Ang Qin came to his senses at this time, and he said in surprise, "So you asked me to go to the right court of the desert in order to burn the big ship so that they would not have a chance to cross the sea."
Jiaohe finger points to the west of the map
side, that is the pass where Jiao Hongxue is.
He felt uncomfortable with the difficulty of saying this, but he still suppressed the unbearable pain and said, "We are waiting here, waiting for the decisive battle between the demon and Jiao Hongxue, and we will fight at the right time and join the decisive battle. That's the plan, Aung Qin, you gather all the men and go immediately."
Ang Qin immediately beat his chest and left, and the warriors came out of the tent one after another.
At this time, there were only two people in the tent, Burigood and Jiaohe, and the red light shining outside the tent made a warmth rise in the tent.
But Jiaohe seemed to be cold from head to toe, and he couldn't stand at all.
Burigood still had something to prepare, and when he opened the curtain, he said, "You are deciding the life and death of the Red Pass, haven't you thought about it? What if they are defeated and have nowhere to run? Before is the devil, and behind is the flood, and they will surely die."
Jiao He sat slowly by the campfire as if unconscious, feeling the scorching flames exhale smoke, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
With his back to Burigood, he seemed to tell one more truth, but his words became hoarse from convulsions of his dead lips and teeth: "They will die, but they will not escape."
Burigood looked at his lonely back, sighed, and walked out of the tent.
The campfire crackled in the house, the sparks of dry wood fell in front of Jiaohe's knees, and the crimson embers burned the last of the fire.
Zizi.
A tear fell on the embers, extinguishing the last flames.
Tears flowed from the bridge of Jiaohe's nose, and the tears on his chin gathered and dripped down, and he suddenly felt that the tent was so cold, so cold that he wanted to take a sip of wine.
Full of red wine.
Hand.
I can't lift it anymore......
The sharp sword cracked.
Fragments of shattered blades flew in the air......
Falling on the city walls......
In the corpse......
And the soldiers who followed him fell at the head of the city......
Looking away, the battlefield is full of devastation.
Numb, cold, sticky, bloody......
Wheezing overflowed from his mouth, making the light frost and rain pouring from the blue sky and white day extremely hazy. The sharp knife slashed at the red-eyed demon in front of him, but the spark that burst out told him that it was the deepest distance.
The claws and knives reverberated with each other, and the black bear was shocked by the force and took a few steps back, and the claw thorns followed closely and attacked the door of the head!
He rolled on the ground, a screeching scraping sound behind him, and before he rolled over, he saw the godless pair staring at him.
He stared at the dead eyes of the armor soldier for a moment, and the sticky pool of blood between his fingers made his fingers tremble, but at this moment, how could he slack off on the verge of life and death?
He rolled over and spun around and got up, kicked away the demon that had just climbed the battlements, and turned to face the threat against him.
The demon crawled back and forth on all fours like a beast, staring at him, saliva drooping its eerie teeth, and its bloody eyes squeezing like mocking defiance.
"Disgusting *** what do you want me to do like this?" The black bear's stomach was twitching, but he refused to show weakness in his mouth, "Do you want me to cut off your tongue and drink?"
The courage brought by the encouragement made the corners of his mouth tear away from the cold smile, and his eyes were fixed on the demon.
The two sides confronted each other at the slightly spacious head of the city, and the demon opened its bloody mouth in the middle of the crossing, and immediately rushed towards the black bear!
The next moment his eyes locked on the target, the black bear gritted his teeth and swung his knife!
Boom!
There was a muffled explosion, and the demon was smashed upside down by the fierce fist coming from behind, flying out of the city, and fell into the surging dark tide like a vast ocean.
The black bear's breath faltered, and for a moment it relaxed, it looked squarely at the figure in front of him.
The majestic cloak had been soaked in blood and hung down, and Xiong Er fiercely withdrew his hot iron fist.
He rushed into the attic with the black bear in a few steps, and frantically dragged people down the spiral staircase!
"Second uncle, second uncle." The black bear staggered and his footsteps were disordered, and he was pulled back and forth and pulled suddenly, "Second uncle!"
Xiong Er was pulled back and staggered, and he seemed to come back to his senses and turned his head
Urgently, "Don't talk nonsense! Come with me!"
The fierce shouts echoed in the spiral steps of the attic, and outside the building was the earth-shattering shouting of killing.
The black bear was stunned, and he hung his knife and asked, "Where does the second uncle want to take me?"
"You can go anywhere!" Xiong Er raised his arms suddenly, "As long as you leave here, Kyushu will let you and me go freely!"
The black bear was surprised and said, "But there's still a war going on outside, and we must keep the red man—"
"I can't hold the red pass!" Xiong Er brutally interrupted him, and then pointed to the corpse lying in front of the entrance of the attic, "Look, take a closer look, he's dead." And thousands of people out there! Lying on the ground, he won't open his mouth to speak, let alone move, those monsters outside are growing more and more day by day, even if the full red pass is held today, it will be broken tomorrow!"
The black bear pursed his lips, his jaw clenched to reveal bitterness, and he said in a strong tone, "But Chongdu is still sending reinforcements, as long as there are reinforcements to continue to come to help, we can hold the Manhong Pass!"
There was an uneasy restlessness in these words, which made the weather-beaten Xiong Er hear his lack of confidence.
"Before you say this, ask yourself, do you believe it or not? Huh?" Xiong Er swallowed, then ripped off some of the cloaks that hung at his feet, "Okay, let's figure it out according to your conjecture, Chongdu," he swallowed nervously again, and then smacked his dry mouth and continued, "It continues to send troops, and then constantly, continuously, but you can look at the black monster outside. There are so many, so many monsters, even if people keep filling them, but when will this hole be filled?"
The black bear also slid and swallowed nervously, and he followed Xiong Erdi's words and said crampedly, "It is estimated that Your Majesty is still thinking about countermeasures, as well as the ministers. Maybe, maybe, when the reinforcements arrive, there will be a solution once and for all, maybe, maybe......
The black bear only felt his brain buzzing, and he couldn't turn around for a moment with these questions, and there was no better way to say it out of his head.
"Don't say it, you don't believe what you say!" Xiong Er poked his neck and hurriedly peeked into the entrance, and then looked down vigilantly, "Don't think nonsense, listen to me." After all, I'm your second uncle, and I'll have to do it if your father isn't there......
Xiong Er's words in a hurry made the black bear startled, and Xiong Er also reacted and stopped talking.
