As Gansuke returned to the General's Mansion, he didn't wait for everyone to say a few words.

Outside the door, the overseer walked in quickly.

"General Qiyu, more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were killed in this battle. We suffered 115 minor injuries and 36 serious injuries. Seven people fled. The defectors have all been killed. ”

After listening to the battle report, Gansuke waved his hand gently.

The overseer bowed and retired.

"Old General Gan, the green mountains are abrupt. Is this true every siege..."

Seeing that Tang Qingshan didn't know how to describe the situation in front of him, the old man laughed.

"How? You mean why it's so anticlimactic. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Tang Qingshan didn't dare to say more, and quietly waited for the following.

"Young man, you ought to be glad. Just half a year ago, this group of beasts couldn't attack for a long time. I don't know if there are high-level people to guide me, or if they really have understanding. Come up with such a set of tactics against us. On the surface, it seems that we have won, but there are so many wild beasts in this bitter cold land? There are more than 5 million on the frontal battlefield alone! Although the situation on our side is not as critical as that on the frontal battlefield, this man eats horses, swords, guns, and medicines. None of them can afford to be consumed. ”

"As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill. This demonic army can continuously mobilize troops from the bitter cold land. And in this battle, we consumed 6,000 long-feathered arrows alone. If they attack the city once a day, it is believed that it will not be long before this place cannot be defended. ”

Ye Liuyun took over the conversation and carefully analyzed the situation in front of him.

Old General Gan glanced at Ye Liuyun approvingly and continued.

"What Scr. Scr. Lang said is very true, and sure enough, the eyes of the reader are better at finding problems. The reason why we have been able to hold out until now is thanks to my deputy general Han Shan. ”

Han Shan, who was standing behind the old man, immediately shook his head when he heard him say this. The old general scolded with a smile and said that Han Shan was good at everything, but his temperament was not good enough. turned around and continued to talk to Tang Qingshan and the others.

"As you can see, outside our city is one of the main sources of water in the Makino Plain, the Yuyong River. This river is formed by the confluence of the bitter cold land and a branch of an inland river in the territory of our Luohuan Dynasty. This invisibly erects a natural shield for us. Han Shan proposed to build another trench along the river and connect to the canal. Draw water down and water the trenches. The muddy trenches can serve to delay the speed of the demonic beast herd charge a second time. ”

"It's not very effective, but it's better to have than nothing. By chance, we were fighting the beasts by the river. There were heavy casualties on both sides, and corpses were constantly rolling into the trenches. Although our personnel are short, if we retreat further, it will be Pinglan Fort. We resisted desperately for three days and three nights, and we couldn't resist it. I ordered the body in the pit to be set on fire, and I had a very simple idea. Since we are going to die here, at least we can't leave behind the corpses of our comrades. Originally, after the plan started a fire, we jumped down together and died generously. Don't give those beasts any food, not even a hand or a foot!"

"Perhaps, it is also our Pinglan Castle that should not be killed. That's when a miracle happened! The raging fire intensified. Flames several feet high forcibly separated the two armies in the confrontation. At that time, there were really people on the other side who were not afraid of death, but the corpse oil that had accumulated for a long time floated on the surface of the water. The beasts all have fur, and as they rush through the flames, their fur is stained with the grease that burns on the water at the bottom of the pit! Most of the beasts were burned alive, and we finally got our lives back. ”

"Fires can burn for a long time at a time. So thanks to the blessing of that fire dragon, we can get about fifteen days of repair every time. ”

After quietly listening to the old general's words, Tang Qingshan continued to add.

"Therefore, at the moment, these demon beasts are constantly dividing small forces. One is that it can consume our armaments, and the other is that they will not starve if they recover the corpses. What a good one kills two birds with one stone. ”

Regardless of whether there is anyone behind this group of beasts or not, the situation is critical for Pylan Castle.

After chatting for a long time, the old man told Tang Qingshan. In the future, you can walk around the general's mansion more often during the day, and discuss some ways to arrange troops with the elderly. Of course, Tang Qingshan couldn't ask for it, and he readily agreed at the moment.

asked Han Shan to lead the way for the two, and Gan Jie was very old. After tossing for so long, my physical strength has long been exhausted, so I went back to my room to rest alone.

Han Shan led the two back to his home, and his wife was pregnant with Liujia. Tang Qingshan and Ye Liuyun are so embarrassed to live in it. After repeated excuses, the two returned to the camp. Prepare to live with the fighters. Han Shan tried his best to keep them, but he couldn't resist the two young people, so he had no choice but to let the two leave.

At night, Tang Qingshan sat alone outside the tent, looking at the stars in the sky, and began to miss his relatives far away from his hometown.

More than half of the year has passed. It's hard, but it's worth it. befriended Ye Liuyun, the eldest brother, and avenged the village. The next goal is to seize the time to find out his father's whereabouts.

Back at the camp this afternoon, Tang Qingshan had already inquired about it. My father was not in the barracks, but in the camp of the homeless?

When he was at a loss, Ye Liuyun slowly walked over with his paper fan.

The face of a dog-headed military advisor.

"Yo~Yo~Yo~, what's the matter? Is our little Qingshan homesick?"

As if accustomed to Ye Liuyun's ridicule, Tang Qingshan rolled his eyes, turned around and continued to look at the night sky.

"Hey, what's the matter? I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become a deep girl? Why are you so petty? ”

With his left hand, he took out a small jar of flower carvings from behind his back and sat next to Tang Qingshan.

"How's it going? Good flower carving, can you imagine how much effort it took me to get it?"

After speaking, he took a sip and handed it to Tang Qingshan.

"Come on, come on, take a sip, come and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows!"

Tang Qingshan wanted to refuse, but he was really distressed. After hesitating for a moment, he took the wine jar and poured a big sip.

It seemed that he was led astray by Ye Liuyun, and this time Tang Qingshan didn't feel how bad it was.

Just wanted to take another sip, Ye Liuyun snatched the wine jar and put it aside.

"Okay, okay, drink less. What about amusing you, do you really expect to drink this jar of wine and forget all your troubles?"

Tang Qingshan was silent.

Ye Liuyun lay on the grass and opened the folding fan to cover his face.

The two of them sat on the edge of the tent, and neither of them spoke.

"There should be no father in the camp of the homeless. ”

I don't know how long it took, Ye Liuyun took the initiative to speak.

Tang Qingshan sighed, Brother Ye had indeed investigated first.

"Do you still have an impression of the people who were fishing in the prison van with us?"

Seeing Tang Qingshan shaking his head gently, Ye Liuyun said again.

"They are one of the few masters that Iron Floating City can send out. Yuwen Jianyuan was controlled for too long, resulting in the weakness of Tiefu City. Otherwise, this time we would not have only arranged such a small number of manpower. ”

This Tang Qingshan really didn't know, he just told Yuwen Jianyuan to prepare a few more prisoner carts and fill them with prisoners. Miao Zhen Immortal is cautious and good at making tricks. If you only escort the two of them, I am afraid that if the Miaozhen Immortal does not take the bait, he will end up busy in vain.

"I've already given them an explanation, go and find out. Let's see if there is a person named Tang Meng in this Pinglan Castle. ”

Ye Liuyun stood up and took another sip of wine.

"If it goes well, there should be news at dawn. ”

Without waiting for Tang Qingshan to answer, Ye Liuyun returned to his tent with the jar of flower carvings.
