Cao Yan, Song Qingji and other generals wanted to ensure the absolute safety of the army.
As early as when Guo Xun and others set out, they sent people sixty miles away to occupy the high ground in order to observe the enemy's movements.
Today, on a hill near the Biluo River, a soldier was looking around.
This is what he has been doing these days. Although he doesn't gain much every day, this is exactly the result he wants.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and sand and stones rolled down from a huge rock wall in the distance.
The soldier couldn't help but look up, but unexpectedly flying sand swept across the charming eyes, sighing that the cold wind in winter was all over the barren rocks.
The soldier rubbed his eyes, his foggy eyes stung a little, and suddenly he saw some small dots appearing on the river in the distance.
He couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking that the sand and stone were blinding him. He rubbed his eyes carefully again and continued to stare into the distance with his eyes wide open.
After a while, he felt a little thirsty, and it turned out that those small dots in front were actually a large number of warships!
He couldn't believe his eyes. Why were there warships here?
Only then did he truly realize the purpose of the general sending him to the front to look out.
He didn't even have to think that these warships should be enemy warships.
So he quickly got up and ran madly towards the direction of the large army.
He only had one thought now, tell the generals the news quickly.
After nearly an hour, the spy returned to the army and reported the situation truthfully.
He told everything he saw, and then the generals suddenly woke up.
It turned out that the enemy had discovered them long ago, and now even the enemy's large forces were coming.
Now the enemy on the water in Nanding Kingdom is approaching, and the spies reported that they are now only more than fifty miles apart. It is impossible to lead a large force to escape from such a short distance.
The generals and their subordinates discussed countermeasures together, and someone sighed:
"The breakout team may have been wiped out!"
Hainan looked a little dazed, he was very upset, he couldn't imagine Guo Xun's fate.
He also believed that Guo Xun was dead. He felt that he was sorry for Guo Xun and should not have allowed him to participate in such a dangerous mission.
For a moment, a sense of sadness spread among everyone.
Everyone couldn't figure out how they were exposed. Later, General Song Qingji's words woke everyone up.
Seeing everyone immersed in their own emotional grief, Song Qingji said with a wry smile:
"I think we are lucky. We have survived more than a month longer than them since the teleportation."
After Song Qingji finished speaking, everyone present looked surprised.
them!
who are they?
What does it mean to live for more than one month?
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They didn't understand who the "they" that Song Qingji was talking about!
Later, Cao Yan suddenly slapped his legs and stood up. Combining the information collected by Guo Xun and the others, Cao Yan wanted to understand one thing, and that was why they were exposed!
"Damn Meng Jue! Even if he dies, we will not be able to live in peace. We should have chopped off this idiot with a knife at that time!"
When Cao Yan and the others were first teleported here, there were originally 100,000 people.
Later, disagreements arose due to the alliance, and Meng Jue took away more than 40,000 people.
Presumably the "they" mentioned in Song Qingji were the 40,000 people Meng Jue took away.
Meng Jue was luckier than Cao Yan. They found the Biluo River from the beginning.
When Meng Jue discovered Biluohe, he had already recognized them, and he also successfully analyzed that they had been teleported to the Nanding Kingdom.
However, Meng Jue was arrogant and insisted on going his own way. He did not listen to the dissuasion of several other generals and insisted on building a ship and going upstream.
They even boasted that with 40,000 people, they didn’t need to fear the enemy at all. They also said that taking a boat was the fastest, most stable and safest way.
Later, they also lost some people due to sandstorms, which made Meng Jue more determined to leave here.
The death of some people was nothing more than a small loss in Meng Jue's eyes, and it did not affect his determination to swim upstream at all.
Later, Meng Jue and the others succeeded in building a boat, and more than 30,000 people took the simple wooden boat and sailed all the way south upstream.
Their wooden boats were very crude. They were just piled up with a lot of sticks and couldn't move quickly at all.
In addition, they were going against the current. Although they were going against the current, the water was not very fast, but it also caused the soldiers to suffer a lot.
Fortunately, everyone worked together and took turns rowing forward, which was very effective. The wooden boat under everyone's feet moved forward slowly and leisurely.
They have been moving forward for almost a month, and they have been relatively smooth this month.
Occasionally, some wooden boats capsized or disintegrated, but Meng Jue never even looked at them, let alone rescued people.
This has also chilled the hearts of many soldiers. The group that was originally a loose group is now even more loose.
Meng Jue only focused on moving forward. He never thought that he would encounter enemies on the road until he did.
The border camp of the Biluo River in Nanding State discovered a large number of ships on the river coming up from the lower reaches.
They didn't understand the situation at first and just sent some boats to inspect.
Later, the boat came back and reported that the people on the wooden boat were all wearing clothes and armor from the Tang Dynasty army.
Only then did the Biluohe border camp realize that it was an enemy attack.
Later, the Biluo River border camp sent out ships to block the attack. This battle could not be called a battle.
The morale of the soldiers on Meng Jue's side was low. When they saw a large number of enemy warships approaching, they ran away in fear and rowed towards the river bank.
Some even abandoned the boat and fled, but there were very few people who could successfully swim to the shore on this vast Biluo River.
It is estimated that no one can do it except a few generals in the Muscle and Bone Realm.
The Biluo River Border Army of Nanding State fired thousands of arrows, each arrow burning with blazing fire. What was originally an encounter turned into a one-sided massacre.
The dilapidated wooden boats on Tang Huangguo's side were completely helpless.
Those on the ship were either shot to death by arrows or burned to death, and those who jumped off the ship were either drowned or dragged into the abyss by monsters in the water.
After a one-sided massacre, Meng Jue decisively chose to give up resistance and announced his surrender.
The other three generals, who had mistrusted others, felt extremely regretful, fought to the end, and finally died miserably under the enemy's rockets. How pitiful and pitiful they were!
After this battle, of the more than 40,000 men led by Meng Jue, only a few hundred remained, and all of them became prisoners.
But I didn't expect that after Meng Jue was caught, he would actively surrender to the enemy and fully explain his origins, and Cao Yan and the others would be ruthlessly betrayed by Meng Jue.
Therefore, the Biluohe border camp of Nanding Country knew that there was a large force behind them more than a month ago.
Later, they also sent people out to search, but found nothing, until Guo Xun and others showed their flaws.
Only then did they realize that this force was not far from them, so there were later reconnaissance boats.
At that time, when Guo Xun was exploring the path with the advance team, he discovered that the wood drifting down from the upper reaches also came from this.
Even the group of giant long-mouthed crocodiles that attacked Guo Xun that night had a feast from upstream before passing by Guo Xun.
Cao Yan understood the whole story as soon as he guessed it, and cursed Meng Jue.
Several other generals also reacted, and they all gnashed their teeth and regarded Meng Jue as a scum, wishing they could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
