The situation is very favorable to our side, it is time to complete the last step!
I calmly waved my hand to General Jin Kai: "General, you are already here. Why don't you have a good talk? Why are you leaving if the matter is not resolved?"
"You don't want me to withdraw my troops? What do you mean now!~" General Jin Kai turned around, a little impatient.
"The troops have to withdraw, but you have to leave some belongings before leaving." I returned.
General Jin Kai looked angry: "What to keep?"
"Knives, guns, swords, halberds, crossbows, feather arrows and other lethal weapons must be left behind!~" I said seriously.
"Hahaha!~ Do you think others are fools? If you throw away your weapons, wouldn't you let them be slaughtered by you?! Then, why not surrender directly!~" General Jin Kai laughed loudly.
"Haha, do you have a choice? As long as I give the order, thousands of fire arrows will be fired. Even if you get a little spark under your feet... I don't know if it's because you run faster or because the flames run faster. !~" I raised my arms, pretending to be ready to give an order.
General Jin Kai was stunned, and then shouted: "Wait!" He turned around and gave the order to stop the army.
Ha~ It seems that he has been shocked!
At this time, "Chef" and more than fifty brothers each carried a captured Bishui soldier back to the mountain. These "captives" looked limp, and their acupoints must have been sealed by "Chef".
"Where are the others, injured?" I looked at "Chef". There must have been five hundred people who went with him before.
"I asked them to return to the team. Too many people will cause trouble." "Chef" said calmly.
Well, what he said seems to make sense...
He waved and asked the brothers to carry the "captives" to the stone platform: "General, these are the people you sent to spy. As long as you put down your weapons, I will return them to you immediately!"
"Hmph! Where are my brothers who came in earlier?" General Jin Kai snorted coldly.
I turned my head and looked in the direction of Taniguchi: "Well... they should be fine. Maybe they are still chasing my brothers around now... Don't worry, as long as you press my As promised, we’ll see them soon.”
The general glanced at me, touched his chin, and said nothing.
I started to "fan the flames" and put more psychological pressure on him: "General, your food and grass have been burned down. It is impossible to maintain a long-term confrontation. Even if you want to win a quick victory, you are now sure of a 50-50 fight." ? Look, with the advantage of the terrain, and the troops and horses I transferred, it should be no problem to trap you for a day or two. By then, we don’t need to do anything... you know..."
Hehe, I have become more and more skilled in using the skill of bluffing without blinking an eye! ~
General Jin Kai listened quietly, his expression gradually turning livid...
On the small grassland, the Bishui army was silent. Many soldiers looked at their general with solemn expressions...
Ha, the effect is good! It seems that if I work harder, I should be able to break through their last psychological defense line. As long as I force them to put down their weapons, I have a way to take them back immediately. This will not only end this war, but also prevent them from entering the ring again in a short period of time. Mountain.
"A man stands upright! He would rather die in battle than be captured without mercy! He wants us to put down the weapons in our hands! Dream!" General Jin Kai suddenly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, "Whoosh whoosh~" Three powerful arrows went straight towards I'm flying here...
He was thinking about how to persuade them to put down their weapons using both soft and hard tactics. They were not on guard. When they reacted, it was too late to dodge... "Dang~" "Dang~" "Pa~" Euxu and Xiaoyan were already holding their swords. After blocking two arrows, Shuang Bimeng caught the third one in his hand...
General Jin Kai was taken aback, and turned to the military formation with a red face: "Everyone listens to the order! No matter whether we win or lose today, I, the man of clear water, should shed my blood and never let this kid succeed! Fire arrows!~"
The drums beat and the flags fly! “Kill~” “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh being being being being nding, hinging! Now instead of thousands of arrows being fired together, there were more than 200,000 arrows being fired... In an instant, arrows from the sky were pouring down like a torrent...
I yelled loudly: "Your brother-in-law! Do you have any quality..." Before I could finish my curse, I was dragged into the woods by Guxu and Xiaoyan. Shuang Bumeng quickly followed after blocking a few arrows with his bare hands. ....."Chef" used Qi to shoot down some of the incoming arrows, and rushed into the forest while protecting the "captive"...
Grandma’s! ~This general is so unreasonable! ~Forget it about carrying out a sneak attack, where are the promised brothers? Are you ignoring your own people? ! Besides, I didn’t mean to hurt them at all, so I just fell out with them! I originally wanted to use the terrain and "manpower superiority" to scare him, and then use fire attacks to force them to put down their weapons, surrender their weapons without killing, and solve the problem. I didn't expect that there are really people who are not afraid of death. Alas~ I am still too weak in front of this general. Tender...
Fortunately, I had prepared for the worst at that time and had several hands in advance! ~
Go into the woods, hide in the bunker made in advance, take out two cloud-piercing arrows, fire two arrows into the air, notify Yan Wei and Lao An, and activate the backup plan...
As soon as the sound of the cloud-piercing arrow fell, the soldiers on the mountain quickly extinguished their torches and hid in the forest. They replaced the fire feather arrows with ordinary feather arrows and started shooting at the enemy! Each archer pulls five feather arrows at the same time and shoots them. With the help of the parabola of the mountain slope, the distance of the arrows is increased. The purpose is not to kill the opponent, but to block their offensive. Therefore, accuracy and lethality are not pursued; In addition, it can confuse the enemy's judgment so that they cannot know the actual number of people in the forest.
In fact, we have not increased our troops at all. The movement in the mountains and the countless heads are just a cover-up.
These are also the other preparations that Yan Wei and Lao An made last night. First, make a dummy out of branches and leaves, hide the dummy in the bushes, or place it near the trees, and use the 20,000 ropes brought by Fu Ruo. , tie the dummy and the bushes to each rope in order. Only one person needs to pull the rope, and if it changes to ten, the bushes on the mountain will also sway, which will cause a huge increase in our troop strength. There are ambushes all over the mountains and plains; secondly, all members are camouflaged with leaves to facilitate wandering in the mountains; thirdly, numerous bunkers are made in the mountains and forests to enhance the defensive effect of the shields. Once the opponent launches an attack, they will fight back with arrows. , and the disguised shield soldiers quickly recovered the arrows under the cover of the bunker.
As long as the opponent still has feather arrows, we can always fight back from a distance... This method can just make up for our shortage of feather arrow inventory.
I believe that as long as they defend a few waves of the opponent's offensive, their morale will be greatly reduced. The so-called principle of one-stop force tells us that courage must be carried out to the end! Then it will decline, and three times it will be exhausted! As long as they can block several charges from the enemy, they will definitely lose momentum over time. At that time, they may be able to truly sit down and talk.
Across the mountain forest, Lao An and the others launched attacks at the same time, attracting Bishui's forces to disperse their attack.
To my surprise, the soldiers of the Rock Tribe became more and more courageous as they fought, and the opponent's several strong attacks were repelled! This is a serious morale boost!
With the current situation, it is really not that easy for Bishui to attack the mountain! Besides, if they really attack, I still have a backup plan! ~
Suddenly, there was a rush of hooves on the mountain road above. After a while, Lao Yi led two soldiers from the mountain road into the woods. He asked the soldiers to wait at the entrance of the forest, and he trotted over.
"Sir, why didn't you notify me in advance when you changed your plans!~" He was out of breath.
"What changes in plans?" I looked confused.
"Ah!~" Lao Yi was a little surprised. He looked at Yu Xu and the others, pulled me and hid behind a tree not far away, and whispered: "Just now, four or five thousand people came from the direction of Dieyin City. They asked me about the situation in the dam, and I told the truth. Unexpectedly, they suddenly shot countless fire-feather arrows into the dam through the blocked passage, and the hay was instantly ignited. Before leaving, they said, "You did it." Order! But, I remember your Lord’s order, no arson is allowed, as long as it is used to intimidate..."
set fire! ~When did I ever give such an order? ~As soon as I thought about it, she was so meowing! ~It can’t be Furuo! ~Pretending to be innocent in front of me, but stabbing me in the back? ! ~Grandma is a bear! ~Kill two birds with one stone! ~You want to kill me and the Bishui Army together, right? I'm not done with you! ~
I was so excited that I grabbed Lao Yi and said, "I, I didn't order the fire! Someone was definitely causing it!~"
He slapped his forehead: "It can't be Furuo?! What is she going to do!~"
I sighed: "...Maybe she had planned it, and I was careless..."
"Should we withdraw?" Lao Yi looked uneasy.
I shook my head and pointed down the mountain: "Bishui's offensive is now in full swing. There is no way to withdraw now unless... you tell us specifically about the situation over there and whether it is possible to put out the fire."
"This... because it was all withered grass, the fire was fierce when it was ignited. When I came over, nearly a third of the front section had become a sea of fire. Coupled with the wind, it spread very quickly and should not be extinguished. ..."
What! ! ! The first third of the section! ~I read in a book that the speed of fire spreading is already very fast in the mountains and forests. If it is on the grassland, it will be several times faster! The total length of Bird's Mouth Dam is at most forty miles, which is about twenty kilometers, and its width is nearly thirteen miles. This special terrain... the wind direction is blowing towards the narrow channel. In other words, after an hour, the entire Bird's Mouth Dam will turn into a sea of fire! ~
Before Lao Yi could finish speaking, there was a buzzing sound in my mind, and everything went blank for an instant... Qi and blood surged into my heart, and my chest felt extremely tight. Waves of chill spread from my heart to the soles of my feet, and I suddenly felt weak all over, including my hands and feet. So soft, I hurriedly put one hand on the tree to support my body... Lao Yi continued to say something. I was in a trance and could no longer hear his words clearly...
Haha, I worked hard for a long time and tried my best to deal with others, but in the end I was set up by my own people...I also implicated the soldiers of the two armies, and nearly 300,000 people were buried together...I am really a big fool... ....
"...What's wrong with you? Sir! Sir!~" Lao Yi looked nervous and held my arm and shook it gently.
After coming back to my senses, I waved my hands with great effort: "It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little tired..."
"The mountains and forests near the entrance of the valley are also ablaze with flames. If this continues, we will have nowhere to escape! Sir, what should we do now?" Lao Yi's eyes placed hope on me.
Seeing the look in his eyes, I was shocked! Yes, I chose the venue and brought the two armies in! The soldiers are still waiting for me. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, we must not give up! ~Not only must we survive with the Rock Clan, we must also find a way to save everyone in Bishui! ~
Breathe evenly, relax your whole body, calm down your emotions, calm down your mind as soon as possible, and quickly make a few assumptions in your mind.
In the first case, our entire army takes action and immediately leads the Bishui army to retreat in the direction of the narrow channel, trying to find a way to break out of the narrow channel... No, our arrangement is limited to the middle section of the Bird's Mouth Dam and its vicinity. Once we go out of range, , our military strength is undoubtedly exposed. Without a truce, Bishui is very likely to rush directly to fight, and die faster this way; even if we run fast and escape to the river by luck, the other side is the boundary of Bishui, and the Bishui army After catching up, we also have nowhere to escape... This plan is rejected.
In the second case, make peace with the Bishui army now and escape together...No, what about after we escape...rejected.
The third situation is to remind Bishui that the danger is coming and ask them to withdraw from the dam. We will stay to block the fire. After the fire weakens, we will find a way to retreat to the hinterland of the mountain. The war can only be resolved another day... ..This plan can be tried, but the risk is very high...If the fire fails to be blocked, the Rock Tribe and I may not be able to see the setting sun!
Hmm... I didn't plan to set the Kuyuan on fire before. I just wanted to use this method to coerce the Bishui army to put down their weapons. Now it's really burning. No matter how I think about it, it's a headache. Alas~ I can't evacuate now, and I can't run away. ... No matter how we think about it, we are unable to move forward...
No matter what, try to communicate with Bishui first. Only by blocking the spread of the fire can the brothers of the Rock Clan have hope!
Seeing that I didn't speak, Lao Yi started scratching his head...
"Where are the brothers?" I had completely calmed down.
"Oh, after the fire broke out at the mouth of the valley, I brought all my brothers back. There were 20,000 camels, and not a single one was left behind!~ They are now hiding near the mountain road that connects with the middle section." He gestured with two sticks. finger.
"Well done!" I gave a thumbs up, paused, and asked, "How are the soldiers in Bishui doing now?"
"On the road, I saw them running for their lives, but they have no mounts. It's hard to say whether they can escape... What should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" Lao Yi touched his helmet.
I patted his shoulder: "There will be a way! So, you go and prepare now. Let the brothers chop some leaves and tie them into brooms. Each one will bring a handful, and you will follow me to rescue people later; I Go find Yanwei and be there right away."
"This... we can't even protect ourselves, why do we care about them?~" Lao Yi looked a little unhappy.
I smiled bitterly: "This war was caused by Furuo, and Bishui was also a victim... Go and prepare."
"Yes! Sir!" Lao Yi clasped his fists, ran quickly to the mountain road, and led the two soldiers out of the woods.
When I turned around, Yu Xu and Xiao Yan behind me were looking at me intently! My heart trembled, and I suddenly thought that Yu Xu, Xiaoyan, Shuang Bumeng, and "Chef" had nothing to do with this matter. I had to find a way to get them to leave as soon as possible! This is a matter between me, the Rock Clan, and Bishui. We must not implicate them! ~No matter what, we must first ensure their safety for the time being!
He ran back to them along the bunker and forced himself to be calm: "Three beauties, the situation has changed, and I need your help. There should be no one by the river now. You go around along the mountain road, and then go downstream along the river. Find Lou Huan and the team members."
Yu Xu and Xiao Yan grabbed me: "What about you? What do you want to do?"
"I...need to make some more arrangements..." I hurriedly squatted down and pretended to shine my shoes, not daring to look directly into their eyes.
"No! I want to stay too!~" The three of them shouted in unison.
I slowly stood up and lowered my head: "Obey, you are the only ones who can help me now..."
"You want to lie to me again? I told you, I will be where you are! ~ Do you think I will be fine if something happens to you?" Esu raised her eyebrows.
"That's right!~" Xiaoyan stared at me closely.
"Count me in!~" Shuang Bumeng put her hands on her hips...
Sigh~ With the current situation, whether Bishui and the Rock Tribe can escape is still a question! ~How can I take you on an adventure together! ~
Time was tight and I couldn't explain much, so I made up a reason: "Listen to me, the situation is out of control now. Only by finding Lou Huan and the others can we turn things around! This task is very important! Do you understand?"
"Really...?" They hesitated.
"Really!~ Now, you should set off immediately. Walk downstream and you will see Lou Huan. After that, bring them here immediately!~" I looked very anxious.
"Okay! Wait for us!~" The three of them immediately turned around, spread out their footwork, and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Looking at the direction in which they disappeared, I waved lightly, I...should be able to survive...To be honest, I don't know where Lou Huan and the others are now. In short, it is impossible. After appearing on the river channel...
I kept my body low and quickly ran to "Chef" and pulled him up: "Brother 'Chef', please do me one more favor... escort these 'captives' out of the narrow channel and take them along the river. Go upstream and find a secluded place to settle down. I will come to find you later..."
The "chef" had a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't ask why and nodded: "Yes." Then, he led the soldiers, picked up the people and left...
After the "chef" went away, I found Yan Wei and briefly told him the current situation. Yan Wei was shocked and asked me what should I do. I suggested that the fire be blocked in the middle and let the He sent people to the front section to cut down the bushes connected to the fire source, and asked Lao An to inform Lao An that the opposite mountain range also needed to cut down the bushes at the same section. I would take Lao Yi and the others to the grassland to clean up the dead grass. The three parties would do it at the same time to strive for Create fire breaks before fire reaches them.
Try your best to communicate with Bishui and tell them the truth. Before they withdraw, you must hold on and don't let them attack the mountain! Now we can no longer fight with them...
After making arrangements, I ran out of the woods along the bunker. Hey, did Lao Yi leave a camel for me? He was really attentive, climbed on his mount, ran all the way along the mountain road, and found Lao Yi...yeah? There seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere. The soldiers lowered their heads listlessly and feebly fiddled with the leaves in their hands... I was a little puzzled, and Lala Laoyi said, "What's going on?"
Lao Yi forced a bitter smile and did not answer... A general stood up suddenly: "Sir!~ I don't understand, we are almost at the end of our rope, why do we have to save those bastards in Bishui!~ They killed them before He killed many of our brothers, let them fend for themselves! It’s not us who did it!~”
...When he asked, I was speechless for a moment... It seems that everyone is in a mood and needs to be calmed down...
After thinking for a moment, I said calmly: "This war was all started by Fuluo alone. If you think about it carefully, do Huan Shan and Bishui really have a sworn hatred? They are as innocent as us! I believe you are all kind-hearted people. People will not just watch tens of thousands of innocent lives disappear before our eyes. If we don’t save people, the bridges surrounding the mountains and clear waters will become deeper and deeper. I heard that a long time ago, the major clans united as one , the formation that has been guarding this space for generations, I hope it can help all races restore their relationships and go back to the past..."
There was silence on the mountain road, "Your Excellency, you are right! We have all become Furuo's abandoned children. Huanshan and Bishui really don't have any deep hatred. It's all because of her that this happened!~I'll go rescue people with you!~" Another The general jumped up!
The soldiers also responded, "I'm going too!~" "We're going too!~" "Sir! Count me in!~"
I have to say that the officers and soldiers of the Rock Tribe are really reasonable and kind-hearted people! I thank them from the bottom of my heart! Everyone quickly regained their fighting spirit, quickly made "brooms" out of leaves, got on their mounts with me, and galloped along the mountain road toward the valley entrance, looking for the soldiers of Bishui.
Not long after entering the front section, there were flames in the distance, thick smoke billowing, and many small black dots moving slowly. It was the group of Bishui soldiers who were fleeing for their lives, and the flames were quickly approaching their rear!
"Brothers!~ They are there! Quick! Take them away from that area!" He was anxious and without thinking too much, he picked up the reins and rushed down the mountain! This camel is really good at walking on the steep hillside and is at the bottom of the mountain in the blink of an eye!
He and his brothers rushed towards the direction of the fire. When they got closer, they saw clearly that all the Bishui soldiers were walking back with difficulty. They were moving extremely slowly and looked exhausted... Oh~ I had known this. , don’t let Lao Yi consume their energy...
Everyone in Bishui saw us rushing towards us, with various expressions of fear on their faces. They held the knives in their hands and "trembled"... Without any time to explain, we rushed directly into the crowd, and before they could react, we were already Our brother grabbed him on the camel's back and ran back with him.
The brothers moved cleanly, and the Bishui soldiers were dragged onto the back of the camel, and they immediately turned around and stayed away from the fire. After a while, no one could be seen in the nearby area. I was worried that there would be omissions, so I took the remaining dozen brothers and searched deeper. After a circle, I found nothing. I was about to go back when I glanced at the thick smoke not far away and suddenly saw what seemed to be three figures inside. , and quickly called the brothers to go over and check...
Suddenly, a stream of hot air came towards the face, and thick smoke came with the wind, making people cough and tears kept flowing out. The owl and the camel hissed in shock, and they could no longer move forward... In desperation... He had no choice but to have someone grab the hunchback, jump down, quickly tear off a piece of cloth from his clothes, cover his mouth and nose, and run into the thick smoke with the two brothers.
After getting closer, we found that a man who looked like a general was dragging two paralyzed soldiers with difficulty... We quickly stepped forward and took the two fainted soldiers from his hands. A soldier, the general shook his body and was about to fall to the ground. I supported him and asked loudly: "Is there anyone else behind you?! Cough~cough~"
The general shook his head slowly, and I turned around and lifted him onto my back. The fire was already coming, and I could see tongues of flame jumping. The air behind me continued to heat up, and the thick smoke was almost suffocating! The owl camel started to get agitated, kept struggling and neighing. Each of us, holding three of them on our backs, ran desperately towards the camel. I used all my strength to lift the general onto the camel's back, climbed up to hold him steady, and said to the brothers Waving his hands: "Quickly retreat!~"
A few people picked up the reins and rushed back like flying. They ran wildly and finally threw the fire far away. A few miles away, Lao Yi and the others were waiting in front.
"Sir, you scared me to death. I just counted the people and didn't see you. I thought..." Lao Yi wiped his tears as he came up.
"I'm fine." He waved his hand, indicating that Lao Yi didn't need to feel sad. Looking around, I saw the Bishui soldiers on hunchbacks, all of them listless, with limp legs and weak hands. People from the Rock tribe were feeding them water. I felt a little guilty and said to Lao Yi: "Without further delay, send them back..." ....”
"Water...water..." the general shouted weakly as he threw himself on the hunchback.
Khan, where did I get the water... Turning around to look at Lao Yi, "Oh, here is it." Lao Yi took off the water bag from his body and handed it over, took it, unscrewed the cap, helped the general up and fed him the water Put it in his mouth... "Gudu~ Gudu~" After swallowing a few mouthfuls, he slowly opened his eyes: "Yes... yes... you saved me..." ....?"
I nodded and wiped the black ash from his face... Hey! ~Isn't this the deputy general that General Jin Kai sent in before? !
This is a good idea. I wonder how well Yanwei communicated with Bishui, so he was asked to send a message to their general.
"Brother, your general may not be aware of the situation here. Could you please tell him to take his people out of the dam immediately? It's too late to evacuate. Otherwise, once the fire spreads, you will probably have to mobilize all your troops." Overwhelmed..." I handed over to him.
"Okay...ok...must convey, I...I know you didn't set the fire. We saw in the distance that the fire came from outside... ...I will tell the general together..." The deputy general's voice was still a little weak.
oh? Did he actually witness the arson? I'm still worried about whether the general will think that we set the fire, take out his anger on the Rock Clan brothers present, and bring people over to cause trouble. That would be bad.
"Okay, please." He turned around, waved to everyone, and gave the order: "Send it! Send them back!~"
"Yes!~"
Holding Bishui and everyone heading towards the middle section!
After a while of galloping, I heard the charging sound of the Bishui army. "Conquer~" I pulled the reins and looked at the mountains on both sides. Yan Wei and Lao An's people had already opened fire zones on the mountains and patted the deputy general in front of me. : "I can only send you here. Going any further will probably cause unnecessary trouble!"
Looking at the physical condition of everyone in Bishui, it was estimated that it would be too difficult for them to walk back, so they might as well let the turtles take them back.
Turning around, he shouted to everyone: "Brothers!~ Let's stop here! Next, let the hunchback give them a ride!~"
We jumped off the camel and said a brief farewell to the Bishui soldiers. They expressed their gratitude to our soldiers one after another... It was like friends reunited after a long separation, reluctant to leave when they parted...
Sigh~ This may be because of the impermanence of life. Before, we had to fight to the death, but now it feels like a family...
The deputy general suddenly asked: "Benefactor, what should you do?"
I sighed softly: "We... have to find a way to block the source of the fire... Don't worry about it, go and notify your general!~"
"Yes! My benefactor...take care!~" He waved his hand and patted the hunchback's butt, leading everyone in Bishui towards the middle section.
