On the plain less than fifty miles away from Mingte City and Dinghai City, there is a village called "Shrimp Head Gou", which has been shaken by the ground, and is obviously deserted, and there are no people for a long time, only a few old dogs occasionally wander around, looking for food. But a few days ago, the most notorious demon dog thieves in the Pami Plain recently moved in, and there were not many people, only about three hundred, but all of them rode horses, and hastily covered some thatch and bamboo strips on the broken wall of the remnants and settled down.
In a dilapidated room, Cole and Larney sat cross-legged on a kang across a small, dilapidated table, with two notes, one written alive and the other dead, scribbled, apparently scribbled.
With such a solemnity, Cole sighed and persuaded: "Brother, don't rob me, brother, I have lived a lot of age, it's worth it, you kid probably haven't even tasted anything about women." ”
"No, Brother Cole, you're playing tricks again, okay, don't say anything, it's just me. Ralney blushed and crumpled the note, threatening to throw it. Since two days ago, after receiving the order, the two of them began to argue, but now there is no result, seeing that the time is getting tighter and tighter, they can only use the most direct and effective way - to draw lots!
"Alright, alright, just catch it. Cole snatched the ball of paper from Larney's hand, and for a moment blocked his view, he made a very clever and natural little gesture. Er, separated the note with both hands, clasped his hands and said, "You choose!"
Ralney glanced at Cole, couldn't see any fraud, and casually tapped one of the hands. Cole spread his hand, but with the other hand, he put the note in his mouth and swallowed it directly.
"You!" Ralney felt bored, and just wanted to stop it, Cole opened another note, which was a big "raw" word.
With a long exhalation, Cole's face flashed with a strange and confused glow, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, providence." ”
"No, this doesn't count, I haven't even read your note. Ralney argued loudly, his forehead bruised and his emotions unusually agitated.
As soon as Cole wanted to speak, a young man in a gray coat dressed as a thief broke in, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and said breathlessly: "Two regimental commanders, here, the cavalry of Cortroux is really here." ”
The two stood up at the same time, and Cole immediately said, "Let the brothers gather at the entrance of the village." ”
"Yes!" the young man roared again.
"Brother, let's just decide, if you have a chance to meet a woman named Roland in the future, tell her, and I'll marry him again in the next life. With that, without waiting for Larney to answer, he rushed out the door.
Tears oozed from the corners of Larney's eyes, and he wiped them from his sleeves and followed with a sense of determination.
At this moment, all around the village, the mountains were full of Kotru's iron horses, whistling, shouting, the sabers in their hands were in the air with a chilling cold light, and the momentum of the mountains and seas rolled in.
At the entrance of the village, Cole led more than 300 members of the Demon Dog Thieves Regiment to wait on the saddle, his blades unsheathed, his eyes unsheathed, and he was on guard as if he were facing a great enemy.
The Iron Cavalry of Cortroux had apparently noticed this team as well, and a cavalry of nearly 1,000 men approached them, and after a series of neighing sounds, the Demon Dog Thieves were instantly surrounded by water. The cold light of the sword reflected the hideous faces, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.
The cavalry that was facing the Demon Dog Thieves scattered one after another, making way for a passage. A general in bright silver armor rode in slowly, not very old, ordinary-looking, with such an arrogant air between his eyebrows, squinting his eyes and sweeping over Cole and the others one by one, and said casually: "Cut." ”
"Wait, General. It was Larni who spoke, and he rode out more and more, the expression on his face was extremely frightened, and with a little flattery: "General, we are just thieves on the plains, my lord, you will be gracious and let us go?"
"Let you go?" The general squinted again, glanced at Ralney, and said extremely arrogantly, "Who knows if you are spies of the Mingsi Empire?"
"General!" said Larney, with a little cry, "we are indeed thieves, and if you let us go, we will take --" Before he could finish his sentence, Cole yelled fiercely, "Brothers, let's kill them." ”
After speaking, a horse rushed over, and the cavalry of Kotroux swept wildly to meet him, and the scene was suddenly chaotic, with sharp blades and slashes, flesh and blood scattered and splashed, human eyes were red, and the miserable howl and roar condensed into one!
Blood gushed out of his shoulders, but Cole didn't realize it, he slashed a cavalryman off his horse with a diagonal side, but unexpectedly, with a "poof", the sharp bayonet had pierced his lower abdomen. Holding the barrel of the gun with one hand, Cole looked up and was greeted by Ralney's tearful eyes. Cole smiled, his smile mixed with an indescribable emotion of reminiscence, as if he was recalling a beautiful past, or a flash in the past, but it was deeply imprinted in his heart. "Division Commander!" Colmer read, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body limp and falling off his horse, his cuffs half-flipped and a ball of paper rolling into the grass.
This sudden turn of events made the cavalry of Kotru dumbfounded, but Ralney pressed his chest with a heart-rending pain, and yelled like a mad tiger: "Stop me." ”
Perhaps it was the madness in him, and both sides stopped, and the general frowned slightly, just about to speak. Ralney, who had thrown away his weapon, had already thrown off his mount, and crawled to the general's horse, half-kneeling, pulling on the high boots, and begging in a wailing voice: "General, general, as long as you let us go, I will give you all the wealth I have accumulated over the years." ”
Hearing the word wealth, the general's eyebrows raised, and he estimated it for a while and said, "It seems that you are indeed not the spies of the Mingsi Empire, who is that, are you familiar with the terrain in this area?"
"Familiar, familiar. Lanier replied hurriedly.
"In this way, you will temporarily listen to the order under the general's tent, and when the city of Kro is captured, the general will return your body, and, who is it, come to the general's tent at night. After speaking, he rode away, and the cavalry around him slowly gathered his ranks.
Ralney looked at the dozens of corpses underground, there was a gloom in his eyes, especially when he moved his gaze to Cole's corpse, the pain had made him tremble all over, but he remembered that the Kotru cavalry slowly passed by on both sides, and he buried the heart-piercing sadness in his heart. Brother Cole, go all the way. Ralney prayed silently, wiped the tears that flowed into his heart, raised his head, and turned on his horse again. The afterglow of the setting sun leaves a lonely back
The others, on the other hand, silently followed Ralney, no one questioned or refuted, because on the night they left Red Moon City, they were instructed to obey Cole and Larney unconditionally, no matter what happened, even if it was a mutiny.
Maybe when others say this, they will be suspicious, but it is the deputy division commander they are most feared about who said this, Xia Xia!
At this time, Ling Hujue had also returned to Crow City, facing the worried eyes of Charles and Carmozi, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, we expected it, no, it should be said that we arranged it on purpose." ”
"What?" said Charles and Camozzi looked at each other, their eyes glowing with suspicion and shock.
Waving to the two of them to sit down, Ling Hu Jue explained in detail the plan he and Sia had made. In the plan they formulated, they made two predictions about the choice of Kotru's attack, one of which was that the Kotru Empire would avoid the city of Crow and attack Dinghai and Minte first. The two of them discussed for a long time, and decided to lead the Kotru army in this direction as much as possible, because only in this way can the battle be quickly resolved, and the pressure will be a little less when facing the dilemma of being flanked by both sides. Therefore, on the night when Ling Hu Jue killed Xiahou Dun, he deliberately let go of the four people of the Four Elephant Sect and asked them to pass back the news of the fall of Cro City. In that way, their eyes and thoughts will shift to Minte City, and then use the psychology of the Wanyue Clan to try their best to occupy Red Moon City, forcing them to act treacherously.
After listening to Linghu Jue, Charles and Kamozilen were stunned, they felt like idiots for the first time, and the trick of the Kotru Empire to lure the snake out of the hole seemed to them so ingenious, it could be said to be the hand of God, a strategy to kill. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the leader's deliberate arrangement.
Looking at the two of them who were stunned, Ling Hu Jue walked to the window, night was coming! Ling Hu Jue thought silently, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
For a war, the process is not important, the result is important. But before the result is produced, no one can predict the direction of fate.
Whether it is life, death, victory, defeat, let the heavens decide, just like Sisi said, as long as you do your best, even if the result is not perfect, then there is nothing to regret.
