Outside the tent, the python that saved Xiao Tian and Su Jia was indeed entrenched, except for Hu Yidi, none of the other soldiers dared to approach. In fact, even Hu Yidi himself still has lingering palpitations about this giant snake, thinking that he had the idea of taking the life of this giant snake at the beginning, and now he will not communicate with the snake, for fear that it will bite back coldly beside him......

Sure enough, the python's body moved slightly, and Hu Yidi seemed to be overly sensitive, and pulled out the silver knife on his waist to prevent accidents.

"The way you look, you'll be suspicious of it—" At this moment, Xiao Tian's voice came from the door of the tent. Xiao Tian, who had just woken up from a coma, knew the news that the python was still outside the camp, so he simply came out to take a look.

Hu Yidi was also surprised that Xiao Tian woke up so quickly, since Xiao Tian walked out unharmed and swaggering, then Su Jia must have been out of danger. Hu Yidi looked at Xiao Tian's body and bones erect, and asked teasingly, "Are you well, come out so soon......"

Xiao Tian glanced at Hu Yidi with a smile, then turned his gaze to the giant snake, took a few steps forward, and gently stroked the giant snake's forehead as he did that night, as a sign of condolence. The giant snake was also like a child, obediently obeying Xiao Tian's wishes, his body was entwined together, and he closed his eyes and remained motionless quietly, as if he was asleep. The soldiers next to him who had not seen Xiao Tian's skills were all surprised by the scene in front of them.

"Jia'er and I are fine, it's just that we have consumed too much energy in the chaotic battle and are so tired that we faint. Jia'er's arm was a little injured, but it was fine...... "After calming the giant python, Xiao Tian withdrew his smile and turned to Hu Yidi. "But I still have to thank you, if it weren't for Brother Hu, you and General Chang's reinforcements arrived in time. Jia'er and I really won't survive today......"

Hu Yidi listened, closed his eyes and smiled: "Isn't it? I'm going to have one less opponent in the future......"

Xiao Tian didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head.

At the same moment, the Lu brothers and Murong Ying, who were worried about Xiao Tian's injury, came out to take a look, and when they saw Xiao Tian's stable mood, they simply let go of their hearts. Su Jia also walked out of the tent and nodded in the direction of Hu Yidi, as grateful to Xiao Tian for saving his life.

Hu Yidi thought about it, withdrew his smile, and said seriously: "Then again." Although General Chang arrived in time to save the military rush of the West Road and the Middle Road, our vanguard army still lost more than 2,000 people in the battle of the West Road Narrow Pass...... Who would have thought that Yan Jitai's troops would actually take advantage of the Middle Road Plain and instead attack the narrow pass of the Western Road, where the cavalry was not good at deploying, which was already beyond our expectations and even the military divisions. At the expense of their majority, they also had to make our army pay a heavy price at the narrow mouth of the Western Road. Hit us by surprise...... As it turned out, this was indeed the case, and the defenders of our army in the west lost more than 2,000 people, and almost the entire army was wiped out. This battle can be regarded as the heaviest defeat since joining the army. It's just that I pity my brother who was born and died with us, and died on the battlefield in order to defend the narrow pass of the West Road......"

Listen to Hu Yidi's narration. Xiao Tian's mind reappeared the situation of the Western Road Battlefield......

(in recall)......

"Why are you here? Without my military order, you can't act without permission!" Xiao Tian saw that the situation was already chaotic. Originally, it was intended to cover the retreat of the main forces, but now the main forces are coming up directly. Xiao Tian had to order loudly.

However, the soldier beside him was obligated to say: "General Xiao, we can't let you die alone, since we follow General Xiao, we have to fight together, even if we die, we will die together!"

"Yes, live and die together!" Immediately after, hundreds of soldiers who came up next to him shouted at the same time, and the sound of the unison overshadowed the sound of Meng Yuan's iron hooves charging from the opposite side for the first time.

"Crazy you, dare you disobey my military orders?" Xiao Tian saw that he couldn't call these soldiers, and he was also in a hurry, and shouted loudly, "Those who do not obey military orders will be dealt with by military law!"

"It's all a death anyway, it's better to die in battle than to be disposed of—" The soldier continued to say in a hurry.

Seeing that in the Stonehenge in front of the lower entrance, the infantry swords and shields were together, and they leaned down to ambush the formation, forming a "barbed iron wall" like the "Great Wall", blocking the entire narrow mouth of the West Road.

"You ......" Xiao Tian couldn't shout anymore, and now that Meng Yuan was in front of the cavalry, it was too late to leave......

(In reality)......

Thinking of the soldiers under his command, the determination to fight desperately and bloodily, but in the end they were almost wiped out, Xiao Tian felt a pain in his heart. Although he and Su Jia were saved, Xiao Tian felt guilty in his heart because he couldn't save the brothers who died in the same boat as him......

After a long time, Xiao Tian clenched his fists with his hands and said angrily: "I am sorry for my brother if I failed to save them...... But it's all to blame for Yan Jitai Bazado's tricks - wait, I will definitely let him pay for it with blood!" Xiao Tian also rarely swore a vengeful oath against a person.

Hu Yidi looked at Xiao Tian's affectionate and righteous words and deeds, and secretly admired it in his heart......

As he was talking, Lao Jiu, a staff officer who was in charge of guarding the cage lake camp, came over at this time. His expression was a little uncalm, Xiao Tian and Su Jia were glad to wake up, but he looked around in a panic, as if he was concerned about something else.

"Lao Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhao, who was also very familiar with Lao Jiu, took the initiative to ask.

"Are General Tang and the military advisor back?" Lao Jiu suddenly asked about the news of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing.

This question gave everyone a wake-up call - although everyone was still immersed in the relief that Xiao Tian and Su Jia had woken up safely, they had forgotten the news from Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's eastern place.

"That's right, Sister Jing and Brother Tang Zhan have been to the host for so long, and ......there is no news at all" Lu Zhao began to worry about his sister and Tang Zhan, "When General Chang's reinforcements arrived, they were only divided into two ways to support, and the situation in the host was not known...... Now Sister Jing, they don't have any news, shouldn't something happen?"

Lao Jiu also analyzed on the side and said: "Before, our brothers from the Tang Ying Association went to the east to survey the terrain for a long time, where the mountain roads are rugged, not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry is difficult to march. That's why General Chang didn't send reinforcements...... Moreover, after General Chang's reinforcements arrived, they rushed to the battlefields of China and the West as soon as possible. I haven't told General Chang the news that General Tang and his military division went to the host alone yet, otherwise I would have let General Chang know. It is not good to blame the generals and military advisors of the first army who left the main army without authorization and did such a dangerous thing......

"Sister Jing and Brother Tang haven't come back yet, they must have met something......" Su Jia also muttered on the side.

Xiao Tian's eyes froze slightly, a thought flashed in his heart, and he casually mentioned: "Jia'er, don't you think it's strange? We fought hard with the main force of the Mengyuan enemy army in Xidao, but we didn't find much of Yan Jitai Bazado...... It stands to reason that he is the master of an army. It's still the Taishou of Xuzhou, and it shouldn't be in the main army formation......"

"Do you want to say ......" Su Jia seemed to understand Xiao Tian's thoughts, and had the same bad premonition as Xiao Tian.

"Do you want to say that Yan Jitai has a small army and is setting up an ambush in the host road?" Lao Jiu, who has always been smart, said Su Jia's subtext.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked - now Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are facing danger!

"No, we have to hurry up to save Sister Jing and Brother Tang Zhan!" Brother Lu Jing was the most worried, and said anxiously, "They only brought five hundred troops. If you are ambushed, there is almost nothing you can do—"

"How do you save it?" Lao Jiu said calmly on the side, "The mountain road is winding and rugged, and General Tang and the military division have gone with the troops for a day without news. We don't know where they are for a long time, and we have to send people to the host to look for them, but it will be difficult to find them. Moreover, the road is rough and difficult to walk, if we are ambushed by the enemy. But the gains outweigh the losses—"

"But I can't let my sister and them be in a predicament, it's been almost two days. They haven't heard any news yet, if something happens......" Lu Meng also said uneasily.

"You must be saved, even if it's a difficult road!" Hu Yidi said firmly.

Xiao Tian thought about it, looked back at the giant python who was quietly closing his eyes on the side, and seemed to have something in his heart. Immediately, Xiao Tian said confidently: "Leave it to me, I have a way to save Brother Tang Zhan and Sister Jing—"

"I'll go with you!" Su Jia resolutely followed, even if he was injured, Su Jia decided to act with Xiao Tian. After experiencing a desperate situation of life and death, Xiao Tian and Su Jia will no longer let each other face danger alone.

Xiao Tian also nodded at Su Jia with a clear heart.

"General Xiao really has a way?" Lao Jiu still said in disbelief, "Okay, how many men does General Xiao want to bring with him?"

"Just me and Jia'er—" Xiao Tian said confidently.

Xiao Tian said this, of course everyone was not at ease, and only sent two people to save people, not to mention the risk, plus Xiao Su and the others had just woken up from the edge of life and death, and it was obviously not rational to let the two of them take risks.

Sure enough, Lao Jiu, who sought stability in trouble, shook his head on the side and said: "No, it's too risky to do this - the two generals have just walked in reincarnation, and the mountain road in the east is difficult and rugged, if there is another accident, it can't guarantee the lives of the two generals......"

However, Su Jia also persuaded on the side at this time: "Don't worry, Lao Jiu, Ah Tian and I will grasp the balance...... And Ah Tian has already thought of a way to save Brother Tang and Sister Jing, and he will definitely be able to save them—" As she spoke, Su Jia also showed a confident smile.

"This ......" Lao Jiu was still hesitating.

"I believe in you!" At this moment, Lu Zhao suddenly spoke on the side, "I believe that Brother Xiao Tian and Miss Su will definitely be able to save Sister Jing and them...... Although the time spent together in Bianliang is not long, the two of you should know Jingmei Hao Tang Zhan brother better than the others, I believe you-"

Lu Zhao's trust also aroused the trust of Lu Meng and Murong Ying on the side, and the two of them also nodded and agreed with Lu Zhao's point of view.

"That's ...... Is it really okay?" Lao Jiu was still not very reassured.

"Of course—" Hu Yidi also smiled at this time and said, "Let's just let the two of them go, just treat it as the general of the defeated army in the West Narrow Pass to make up for it-being calculated by Yan Jitai, the Canglong brothers don't feel good, right? If Yan Jitai really appears in the East Road, wouldn't it be just right?"

Xiao Tian listened and added: "The mission this time is mainly to save Tang Zhan's brothers and Jing sister, and we will not take the initiative to start a conflict with the enemy." Xiao Tian also knew Lao Jiu's character of seeking stability, so he should say peacefully.

Lao Jiu is actually in a hurry, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing have not heard from each other for so long, and eighty percent are in trouble. The purpose of this operation was to safely bring back the troops that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing had already brought back, and it was also on the rugged mountain road of the eastern road, so the fewer troops that could be dispatched, the better.

So after careful consideration, Lao Jiu still agreed to Xiao Tian and Su Jia's request, and only let the two of them go to the rescue......

And at this moment, at the key place of the pass on the mountain road of the eastern road, the Mengyuan garrison that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing observed before, the sparse Mengyuan soldiers were still guarding as usual......

The eastern mountain is opened up into the north and south sides by a canyon, and the Mengyuan garrison pass is on the north side of the canyon. If you want to cross the Qiling East Road and look at the garrison of Xuzhou Chengguan from a high position, you must cross the North Ridge......

Occasionally, a mountain breeze blows, and a chilling echo can be heard in the valley, and if you happen to look at the bottom of the valley, you can't help but shudder......

The Mengyuan defenders were guarding the pass as always, and everything seemed calm......

"Ahh

This scream attracted the attention of the other Meng Yuan guards around him, and everyone raised their minds one after another.

But it was already too late, since the raid had begun, it was followed by a series of uncontrollable attacks - from the hidden places on both sides of the mountain road, several soldiers of the vanguard army suddenly appeared, and with a clean and neat method, they quickly took the lives of other Meng Yuan guards, and some even fell directly into the valley, and disappeared at the bottom of the canyon after letting out a miserable scream......

The troops that attacked were Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's troops who sneaked up from the south of the mountains and crossed the distance - as Lu Jing guessed before, the guards here were sparse and counted, and after bypassing the distance, it didn't take much effort to break up the garrison defense here......

And after the successful sneak attack, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also came to the fore. Tang Zhan saw that the guards were all solved, and then asked Lu Jing: "Jing'er, you have cleaned up the guards here, what should you do now?"

Lu Jing said seriously: "According to the original plan, after we detour to Beiling Mountain, wait and see the situation of Xuzhou Chengguan Mengyuan City Defense, and then return to the main camp, and wait until Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements arrive, we can launch a total ...... Xuzhou."

"Ahh

It was not over, and immediately after, the second and third, the vast number of dark arrows attacked from all directions, and it was impossible to determine the location of the arrows at the first time. After a moment's hesitation, there were several screams, and several soldiers fell one after another.

"It's not good, there's an ambush - hide quickly!" Tang Zhan shouted loudly for the first time, and all the troops moved in unison, hiding in the grass where they had been ambushed before.

But his own army was the first to appear, and the enemy army was still ambushed, and before the enemy was in the dark, but now the situation is just the opposite. Lu Jing also realized that this was a deliberate ambush set up by the Mengyuan army, because of his impatience and reckless attack, which led to the exposure of his own target, and now countless Mengyuan troops will definitely outflank him from the side of the mountain road......

"Oh no, the enemy army has already discovered our ......" Lu Jing muttered nervously beside Tang Zhan, "Judging from the enemy's quick reaction, it should have been an ambush prepared in advance-Yan Jitai had long expected that we would sneak attack the few guards at the pass here, so he set up an ambush here early in the morning and waited for us to take the bait...... Damn, I'm too careful, because I'm in a hurry to cross the North Ridge to observe the enemy's situation, and I would make such a low-level mistake......"

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves, we have to think about how to leave here quickly-" At a critical time, Tang Zhan can also show the calmness of a general, he is usually stupid, but he can remain calm at critical moments, "The host road is full of rugged mountain roads, if the route we secretly outflanked was not discovered by the enemy, there is still a chance to withdraw......"

But the truth doesn't seem so simple...... (To be continued......)
