Chapter 32 The Soldiers Trapped in the Dragon Valley
Early the next morning, after a full meal of war, Konoha set off with the whole army towards Tanglong Valley.
The entrance to Tanglong Valley is extremely narrow, allowing at most two people to stand side by side.
It's like being forced into a crack in the rock by an axe.
This section of the road is about six miles long, and when you enter, you can't see the entrance, only the gray-blue sky with a thin line overhead.
Before the army entered the valley, Konoha sent three groups of people to explore the road first.
Although the news brought by the three groups of people did not find any anomalies, Konoha still refused to give the order to enter the valley.
Although the decision to divert Tanglong Valley was made just last night, it was impossible for Nanwan to know.
Even if this news is really leaked, these few hours will not be enough for Nanwan to send troops to set up an ambush.
The Chunliu River could not march all the way because Mu Yun went to see it personally, and the other roads were too far, and before they reached Shunzhong Pass, the grain and grass would be exhausted.
She couldn't let her generals go hungry to attack Shunzhong Guancheng, it was already a laborious task, not to mention that there were still 30,000 elite Lieyue troops in the city.
She had no other choice.
Mu Yun hit his horse and came to Konoye's side: "County Lord, don't hesitate, let's speed up the march a little faster, and strive to cross Tanglong Valley in three and a half hours." ”
Konoha pursed his lips, and finally made up his mind: "The whole army obeys the order, the infantry army is in front, the cavalry is behind, march at full speed!" ”
The herald passed the order down in the language of the flag, and 18,000 men marched into the narrow valley in formation.
Dense, like a black stream of water.
Qi Yu was about to die in a hurry, he kicked Qingyi behind him, bowed down and quietly came to Gu Yunlie's side, and fell in the ear of the handsome: "Boss, how long has the crescent moon been waiting in the valley, and she hasn't come in, does she see something?" ”
Gu Yunlie was also anxious.
Since the defeat of Dongguan and the return to Shunzhong Pass, Su Muyu actually did not have a trace of displeasure at all.
Since Lidu set out on the expedition, Su Muyu has been so confident for the first time, and it can even be called a good scheduling.
He first sent 5,000 men to light a fire and ice near the Chunliu River day and night, forcibly advancing the Lingxun that should have appeared a month later.
In addition, the melted water will cause the river to froze on both sides of the river, causing it to freeze again and form frozen swamps.
Su Muyu also sent 3,000 people to Tanglong Valley to cut down all the grass stems and bark in the valley, and if they couldn't destroy it, they set it on fire.
The people sent out were all Protector Army, and Su Muyu was useless as a member of the Burning Moon Army. He didn't even consult with the people of the Burning Moon Army.
Originally, although Su Muyu was very jealous of Lieyue, because he didn't know anything about military affairs, he had to rely on Lieyue's people to make ideas.
But now he did these things without saying hello to Gu Yunlie at all.
Gu Yunlie couldn't understand what his purpose was in doing these things, until last night Su Muyu ordered an army of 40,000 to surround the entire Tanglong Valley, and he wanted to trap Konoha and her army here today.
Su Muyu deliberately arranged Gu Yunlie and the Lieyue Army at the mouth of the valley, he was not in charge here, and he didn't even leave any of the Protector Army here.
But before leaving, he specially instructed Gu Yunlie: "Gu Dashuai, this handsome man trusts you a lot, so he arranged you on Konoha's retreat, whether you can trap Konoha depends on whether you keep this road well." ”
Gu Yunlie had no choice but to agree first.
After Su Muyu left, Gu Yunlie had the opportunity to think about these things carefully.
Su Muyu's actions a few days ago were all to trap Konoha in Tanglong Valley today.
This is a poisonous ploy, to force Konoha to the point of food starvation.
But there is a problem, with Xiao Jiu's caution, it is impossible not to know that the terrain of Tanglong Valley is most suitable for ambushes. The Chunliu River was cut off all the way, and she had other ways to go.
Unless Su Muyu knew that Xiao Jiu would take this path.
Unless, someone in Xiling betrayed Xiao Jiu and colluded with Su Muyu to force her to take this path.
Seeing Xiao Jiu hesitating in the valley now, Gu Yunlie could only pray in her heart that she could see the problem and take a detour.
What does it matter if you arrive at Shunzhongguan a few days later?
Qi Yu was still anxious, but he didn't wait for Gu Yunlie's answer, and waited for the scout first.
"Tell the marshal, the moon marshal has ordered to enter the valley."
Even though Konoha was already the lord of Xiling, the people of the Burning Moon Army still couldn't change their minds.
Qi Yu cursed in a low voice, and Gu Yunlie also closed his eyes fiercely.
He can't let Xiao Jiu go, this place is full of people from the Burning Moon Army, if a Xiling person runs out, it is conclusive evidence of collaboratorship.
Once this crime is settled, don't say that he or the Gu family will be destroyed, and a slightly high-level deputy general will also be killed.
Even the entire Burning Moon Army will cease to exist.
Gu Yunlie's thoughts, Konoha naturally wouldn't know.
At this moment, all 18,000 people have entered the Tanglong Valley.
Different from the narrow valley mouth, the interior of Tanglong Valley is flat and open, only the surrounding cliffs are still like knives and axes.
Konoha was even more nervous, such a terrain, if Nan Wan really ambushed here, but throwing arrows and stones from above could kill many of her people.
Fortunately, the exit is in sight.
The exit is wider than the entrance, and the road is easier to walk.
Just as Konoha's thousand-mile cloud of smoke was about to enter the valley mouth, a rocket was fired head-on.
Konoha reacted very quickly, and used the Kongo Iron Plate Bridge, clinging to the saddle, and dodging the arrow.
At that moment, Konoha didn't know if he was panicking or a sense of relief that he had "finally arrived".
"Get out!" Konoha gave an order with a loud roar.
She knew that if she was trapped in Tanglong Valley, she would really die.
Because of the sudden ambush, the army panicked, but seeing that Konoha was still calm, he took the lead and killed Taniguchi, and the generals quickly calmed down and followed Konoha to kill.
"Mu Yun!" Konoha roared and gave an order to Mu Yun beside him, "You immediately take the cavalry behind you and kill it from the entrance." ”
This is not the time to argue who will go first and who will be behind, Mu Yun responded urgently, beat the horse and ran back.
Konoha couldn't see her enemies, and Su Muyu didn't even give her a chance to fight in close quarters.
The rockets were constantly overwhelming, and there were rocks rolling down overhead.
Konoha turned the bright silver spear to protect his body, and the scattered rockets were like meteors falling from the sky. She rushed to the front, but she didn't hurt a single bit.
But the soldiers behind her couldn't do the same as her, and there were many who were shot by arrows, who threw themselves into the snow to extinguish the fire after being on fire, and who were killed by falling rocks.
"County Lord, I can't stand it, let's retreat!" Although Wolf Seven can still protect himself, it is already difficult.
Seeing that Konoha couldn't rush out, he had to order to return to the valley.
Su Muyu did not pursue, and after retreating to the valley, the attack of Nanwan's army stopped.
Mu Yun's side was also defeated: "County Lord, Nanwan's offensive is too fierce, we can't get out." ”
"Everyone clings to the rock wall, and those with horses hide behind them!" By this time, Konoha could only minimize the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible.
Su Muyu didn't prepare many rockfalls, and they stopped after a while.
The rain of arrows is also gradually decreasing. The Nanwan army did not seem to be in a hurry to enter the valley and engage Xiling face to face.
Rather, they acquiesced in their hiding in the valley.
Just as cats like to eat their prey when they have had enough.
Konoha set the list of rotations, divided the people into three groups, and took turns to rest.
Mu Yun whispered to Konoha about the situation he encountered when he brought people back: "The attack on the other side was not very fierce at the beginning, and the last general thought that he should be able to rush out." But the sudden attack behind was fierce, and the last general was really no match. ”
Konoha nodded and asked, "Have you seen who is on the other side?" ”
Mu Yun carefully recalled for a moment: "The other side didn't see us very closely, but the last general seemed to see a general on the opposite side, and the ear guards on the helmet were in the shape of a cluster of flames. ”
Mu Yun didn't know it, but Konoha knew that this was the logo of the Burning Moon Army.
Listening to Mu Yun's words, Konoha realized that the Burning Moon Army was the one who killed after recognizing that the leader was not her.
There was a slight movement in her heart, if she had led the troops to kill from the road just now, would the Lieyue Army have opened up for her.
immediately denied his thoughts, if he really let himself go, Su Muyu would definitely not let go of his brother.
Konoha originally thought that Su Muyu would not let the Lieyue Army interfere in the matter of besieging him.
But now it seems that Su Muyu wants to kill two birds with one stone, and he wants to use her to force out the empirical evidence of Gu Yunlie's "collaborator".
It seems that Han Lin is not as loyal as Wolf Wu said, he not only cut off her military rations, but also colluded with Nan Wan.
However, this means that Su Muyu will not attack easily, at least not until they run out of food and grass and still have combat power.
Although the Rolling Stone Rocket is easy to use, if she is killed, Su Muyu will not be able to get Gu Yunlie's handle.
As long as there is time, there is a chance.
Konoha figured out the trick and slowly calmed down in his heart.
She woke up Wolf Qi and Mu Yun.
"What's the news of the people we sent to Sanguan a few days ago?"
Mu Yun is responsible for this: "The one sent out is the one we carefully selected, and the one that is really in Guanzhong." After Nanwan occupied Guancheng, they were the ones who cared about it the most. So when they heard that they were going to engage in the Nanwan Army, they all geared up. ”
Konoha knew all these things, but she didn't interrupt Mu Yun's words. It was the first time for Mu Yun to experience such a battlefield, and he was inevitably panicked in his heart, and it would not be difficult for him to panic if he said more.
"Because they were afraid that the Nanwan people would find out, they spread the news once every five days. The last news was just received yesterday, saying that everything is going well, and in less than two days, the people of Shunzhongguan will revolt. ”
There was a faint smile on Wolf Qi's face: "It just so happens that Nanwan's miscellaneous pieces are here, and it is more convenient for them to act." Let's wait for Shunzhong to be chaotic, and we will have a chance to tear open this encirclement. ”
Hearing him say this, Mu Yun also became excited: "So, we won't be trapped here?" ”
Konoha nodded: "What I want is this opportunity, but I don't know if anything will happen in the next few days." ”
She turned to Wolf Seven again: "Can your Wolf Guard's method of transmitting messages still work?" If this Tanglong Valley was surrounded by the Burning Moon Army, not even a fly would be able to fly out. ”
Wolf Qi proudly straightened his chest: "County Lord, you have asked the idea, my method can still be used." Until now, I won't hide it from you, our method is not profound, it is to send a letter with a bird. But we are strange birds, although they are smaller than their fists, and they fly so high and fast that they cannot be seen at all. ”
Konoha tore off a small strip from Mu Yun's white robe, bit his index finger, thought for a moment, and wrote "Soldiers trapped in Tanglong Valley, save quickly"
When the blood stains were dry, Konoha handed the blood book to Wolf Qi: "Send it out now." ”
Wolf Qi took out a small cage from his arms, and there was a dark blue bird in it, tilting his head, silent, and looking very well-behaved.
Wolf Seven took the bird out of the cage and put the blood book in a tiny metal tube on the bird's leg.
Then he threw it upwards, and the bird soared into the sky, and even Konoha couldn't see it with such good eyesight.
The Nanwan army waiting above the valley did not react, and Konoha was relieved to know that the bird had successfully left Tanglong Valley.
She has done everything she can do, and now she can do it, only waiting.
Gu Yunlie often stood on the cliff in the past two days, and one stop was half a day.
The mountains were high and the valleys were deep, and he could only see the Xiling army in the Tanglong Valley below, and after the panic of that night, they quickly settled down.
Xiao Jiu lined up a circular formation, so that the soldiers could take turns to rest, and if Nanwan raided, they could also react immediately.
At this distance, it is absolutely impossible to see who is who, but Gu Yunlie can recognize his sister.
He watched Xiao Jiu deal with the affairs of the army in an orderly manner, even if the food and grass had been exhausted, she still tried her best to maintain the stability of the army.
What Xiao Jiu is waiting for, Gu Yunlie can think about it, and look forward to it like her, let Xiao Jiu escape with his own ability, it will be good for them.
Suddenly, a terrible exclamation tore through the silence of the dusk and pierced Gu Yunlie's ears like an ice pick.
