Chapter 15 Overcome All Difficulties

The Serpents have begun to gather. From the top of the city, a mile away in the Snake Army camp, dust was flying. After a rain, it is not supposed to raise dust, but there is so much dust raised, I am afraid that the snake people have gathered together in the northwest of the two Snake army.

I could not hold back any longer. After tying the rope of the drawbridge, I rushed to the Lord Wu and knelt down.

He looked at me and shouted, "General Chu, get up! What is the name of your sword at your side?"

"The name of the sword is Babir."

"The name of the sword should be all things. You're a soldier. On the battlefield, you have to be heartless."

I was drunk by the Lord of war. Slowly stood up, saw the distant snake people have begun to move toward the city.

Lord Wu is in order to destroy Cangyue Gong, just intentionally let the spy release information? But it would be very treachery to do so. At the meeting, Marquis Wu also swore that the safety of Marquis Wu was all in the body. In a twinkling of an eye, he would throw the whole army of Cangyue to the Snake Man. Even if the sin of the Lord of the moon is unforgivable, I still cannot bear it.

Marquis Wu's voice also calmed down a bit. "General Chu," he said, "Go to your post. You know, in battle there is no room for a softhearted man."

I had just returned to my side of the city when a horse galloped out of the city towards the gate. It was the Lord of the Moon, who had been at the front of the battalion, and who had come at once after the Republican Army had reported to him. When he reached the edge of the moat, he pulled up his horse and shouted, "Tang Shengtai! What do you mean?"

Is Marquis Wu's name Tang Shengtai? I never even knew. All the Imperial Army called him Prince. Who dared to call him by name? Perhaps, in his heart, the name has faded. He leaned out half of his body at the end of the city and said, "Moon, do you still insist on killing yourself?"

Cang Yue Gong in the horse all over a shock, said: "How can I act by law to kill myself? What do you mean by that?"

Lord Wu raised his face to the sky and smiled. "You have long had the will to die. In the name of opening the way for five thousand men, you want to lead the Snake people into the city in order to destroy my whole army. But I did not know that as soon as you came to me and offered me this time, I was told all about it."

The withdrawal route is probably proposed by Cang Yue Gong, then we can guess. Can the moon actually think, was this idea? I shuddered and looked at the gold Qianshi standing beside me. They were all Rin.

If the Lord of the Moon really had this intention, all he had to do was block the gate with 5,000 soldiers when the Snake men attacked, so that we would not be able to pull up the drawbridge and close the gate, and the Snake men would flood in. What part of the city could be kept?

The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became. When I did not believe him, I saw that the Lord of the moon under the city turned pale and was speechless.

That's true!

Marquis Wu was still saying, "You can hide this plan from the land through fishing, but not from me. And you don't have to think how you're going to break the news. There's no such thing as an impervious wall."

At that moment, two of the Republican officers flung themselves from their saddles, knelt down by the moat, and shouted to the wall: "My Lord, that was the idea of the Moon mutiny; we knew nothing about it. Let us go into the city, my Lord. We are willing to join the Imperial Army and serve the Empire."

They kept talking, but I knew it would never work. Marquis Wu said: "Cang Yue, you are hiding from his subordinates. Is it for them, too, that you created a republic for the sake of the people, and that you sent 5,000 men to their deaths? Using the power of the different to kill the same race, that is called all for the people? Hem, those five thousand horses are your fault."

The Lord of the Moon hung his head and said nothing.

Suddenly, a horse rushed straight from the camp. The man held a sword in his hand, cut the Cang Yue Gong's side, and shouted: "Rebel!"

His roar was very loud, but now I do not know who is calling. He arrived at the side of Cang Yue Gong, a knife, knife flash, the two kneeling Republican soldiers were beheaded. The long knife passed, and two columns of blood shot up, spilling all over the ground.

This humanity: "Grand Duke! We will fight to the death for the Grand duke. We will attack the city."

If they attack the city, they will not be able to attack it. But the Serpents are advancing, and I fear that our defense of the city will be hard, and that these five thousand Republicans will soon die, under siege from both sides. I was a little apprehensive when I heard the sound of thunder and drums at the head of the city again: "The rebels have attacked the city. All troops must be ready."

At this moment, the Lord of the Moon suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Our army listens to orders. Those who wish to escape must flee around the city. Do not attack it."

Is he going to fight the Snake Man to the death? Of course, he was not trying to take credit for beating the Snake Man by chance. Even if he had beaten him back, the Lord would have sent his army to slaughter the rest of the city. Maybe he's just doing this because he doesn't want to cannibalize anymore. The Republican army in silence, suddenly burst out a huge roar: "Willing to die for the duke!"

Marquis Wu then said: "The moon, wish you die like a husband, I come for you."

He drew an iron flute from his bosom and blew the murderous crossbow. The flute was loud and clear, like a long sword, piercing the sky. The Lord of the Moon overthrew his hand and said, "Tang Shengtai, today I die on the battlefield, and someday you will also die by the sword."

The Marquis did not answer him, but blew his horse. Even just listening to it, it feels like a man of iron and steel. The moon asks: "The good man of the republic, follow me!"

He galloped forward, with the Republican standard-bearer at his heels. Some one of the Republicans shouted out the Republican funeral song:

The pride of the sky,

Look up high,

Where there is a vast expanse of land,

Good man,

No fear of castle peak burial.

At that time almost every one of the five thousand Republicans was singing. The song filled the air and drowned out the flute of the Lord General. I fundus an acid, unconsciously, eyes also some wet.

Is that my mother again? However, I was a little surprised to see that the Lord removed the iron flute from his lips and gently wiped his eyes with his right hand.

No matter what Cangyue Gong has plans, he finally so death, also do not lose spirit.

By this time the vanguard of the Republican Army was engaged with the Serpents four hundred paces from the city. Most of the republicans had not had enough to eat for a long time, and perhaps it was their determination to die that gave rise to this force. For a moment the two armies were so intertwined that they could hardly be seen inside.

The Serpents were still breaking out of the camp. Then, presumably, the Serpents from the other doors had arrived to reinforce them. In a little while the republican funeral song faded away, but the Republican flag danced in the smoke and never fell.

On the ground, there was a river of blood, even through hundreds of steps, some of it flowing into the moat.

All five thousand Republicans have been killed, have they not?

The Marquis was still standing like an iron pillar, his hand pressed against the battlement. At this time, a herald official: "Jun Hou, General Lu to see!"

Marquis Wu raised his head and found that the land had seized the city. He must have come in such a hurry that he ran out of breath. As soon as he reached the Lord Wu, he fell to his knees and said, "Lord Wu, why didn't you help the Lord God and the moon?"

Marquis Wu looked at him, sighed and said, "After fishing, you are still too soft of heart."

Lu Jing Yu said, "What happened? Why only let the Republicans fight the Serpents outside the city?"

Marquis Wu did not look at him, his side of a guard said: "General Lu, Cang moon in vain to his army as bait, snake people into the city. His plan was discovered by the king. Now he was cornered and had to fight alone."

Lu Jing Yu knelt like a puppet, seemed to be stunned by this. Marquis Wu said, "After fishing, you have no inhumans, but still believe in them. Unless this disease is cured, you will never become a great general."

Lu Jing Yu suddenly choked up: "Jun Hou, Yu Wan died, this matter is not yet known, please take a long-term view, do not listen to one side of the story."

Marquis Wu shouted: "After fishing, are you still stubborn? Get up! Desertion is a great crime."

He looked at the Republican Army who were fighting their last battle against the Snake People and sighed, "If this news comes out, I fear that the southern Xinjiang will never be peaceful. Moon, if you really get it, you will die and buy people's hearts."

I am Ichirin again. Did the moon attack the Serpent Army instead of attacking the city, not because he could not bear to kill others, but to buy the hearts of the Republican Army with his own death? Indeed, if he were truly willing to join us against the Serpents, he would not have made such a bitter plan. He probably knew he was going to die. If he died in a counter-attack on the city, he would get some praise at most. But dying at the hands of the snake man would bring the people of southern Xinjiang to their hearts. Hearing this news, people in southern Xinjiang will probably sympathize more with the Republican Army. There will be more violence, and it will be more difficult for us to wipe out the Republican remnants.

However, listening to the song, which was gradually thinning out, I was only dismayed when I knew the true intention of the Lord Cangyue, but still could not hate him. At this time, even though I knew that one escape would be more difficult to pacify the southern Xinjiang in the future, I just wanted to escape a few more Republican forces.

The death of the Lord of the Moon is still a bitter plan. But he probably thought the Imperial army was too strong, we are today, whether we can return to Kyoto is still uncertain, to pacify the southern border, is probably a distant empty talk.

At last the Republican flag came down, and the dust began to clear. From a distance, there were dead bodies everywhere, Republican men and women. In spite of our absence, we were amazed to see that some of the Imperial soldiers were even humming the Republican funeral song.

Lord Wu's face also seemed to age a lot. Lu Jingyu knelt down and said nothing. It was useless to change his mind. I looked at the kneeling Lu Jingyu on the side, but there were more doubts in my heart, secretly sorting out my thoughts.

What exactly is Zheng Zhao? According to Lord Wu's words, he must have told Lord Wu the trick of the Lord Cangyue. But he was brought by Lu Jingyu. Why not tell Lu Jingyu? If the land does not bring back the cang moon, will not trouble?

Who the hell is he? I can't help but feel more cold. He will never be just claiming to find the whereabouts of white Wei so simple, and, he claimed to be a junior officer in the Republican army, and white Wei is one of seven days will be the daughter of Hai if, if he is really a junior officer, and how can know white Wei?

The more I wondered, the more I suspected, but now that he was gone, I feared I would never see him again. I could not help regretting that I had let him go so easily.

At this time, Wu Hou road: "After fishing, you quickly return to the defense area, ready to class."

Lu Jing Yu raised his head and said, "Marquis of Jun"

He seemed to have a great deal to say, but when it came to his lips he could not get it out. Marquis Wu sighed and said, "Go back and discuss the class tomorrow."

Lu Jingyu stood up and his armor made a small noise. He saluted the Lord and went down to the city.

Even knowing that he was in the dark moon, we still silently salute him as he passed us.

The final battle death of the month, let us can not help but have a bit of respect. Lu Jing Yu's scheme also let his God glory dissipated a lot, but we have more respect for him.

Heroes are lucky to be born in these turbulent times. However, in this era of heroes, those innocent people are not too unfortunate? The Times are dominated by heroes. In the process of attack, defense, and slaughter, those civilians can only become the cornerstone of heroic achievements, or even individuals. When Cang Yue set this bitter plan, did he ever think that his five thousand men would become his martyr? In order to break his bitter plan, the Marquis also treated the five thousand people as dust that could be wiped away at any time.

Also, a land fishing is not difficult in the UK, but also The Times need it.

Looking at the back of Lu Jing Yu, I was at a loss.

At this time, Marquis Wu shouted: "General Chu!"

I started suddenly, went to him, knelt down and said, "The end is here."

"You go with me to the Central Army."

Don't we have to guard this place? What could be more important than defending against the snake man? I was afraid to ask, but said, "I will obey."

The marquis went down. I waved and followed him with the Dragonscale army. When they got out of the city, Lord Wu mounted his horse and said to Lu, who had dismounted beside him, "General Lu of the vanguard battalion, you are in full charge here. If the Serpents dare to attack the city, they must be defeated."

Lord Wu assigned the garrison commanders and turned to me and said, "General Chu, mount your horse."

What does the Lord have to do? I looked at the Marquis in the back of the horse, the heart is also at a loss. I don't know what the Lord is trying to do, but the strategy he has set is probably right. Anyway, the moon has been really dead, a hidden danger has been eliminated in the invisible, now the first thing is how to retreat. But the Snake man was just outside the city, and when he saw it, he was about to attack again. Why didn't the Lord go to the front and direct it? This is a very unusual thing.

The Lord Wu's horse was in front, followed only by his own soldier, the great eagle and the little eagle. I suddenly realized that the Lord had not brought all his troops with me.

Although Lord Wu's soldiers did not follow him closely like the great eagle and the young eagle, they would always follow him when he went out. It seems that no more than a hundred soldiers were brought out this time. However, only two of Lord Wu's soldiers had fallen in battle since the beginning of the southern expedition.

But there were only about seventy or eighty people with him.

When he approached the central army, the soldier beside him, who did not know whether it was an eagle or an eagle, suddenly clapped his horse and quickened his pace. He caught up with the marquis and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong."

The marquis turned his head and said, "What is wrong?"

"It's very bloody."

Blood gas? I sniffed the air, but I couldn't smell anything. Wondering whether the big eagle or the little eagle was a little too allergic, Wu Hou said: "Little eagle, do you smell right?"

"No, the blood is fresh. It's just died."

Marquis Wu turned to us: "We must be very careful, only in case the situation changes."

I'm a little puzzled. I don't know what he meant by being careful. By this time, they had reached the tent of Lord Wu. However, Lord Wu did not dismount, but said to the two soldiers guarding the tent: "Who has passed by?"

The two soldiers were kneeling on the ground and saluting. Hearing the Lord general ask, one of them raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no one."

'Not a soul passed by the door?

The soldier replied, "No."

Marquis Wu jumped down from his horse and said back: "Put out your swords and guns. Be careful, the traitor is in the central army!"

I woke with a start. The Marquis had come to arrest the traitor! No wonder the eagle at the head of the city had come to report that it was he. This traitor in the barracks of the Chinese army, is it really high-speed train rush? They're not even on the front lines. But if we're gonna catch him, why would we need such a big force?

I jumped on my horse and rushed forward: "Your majesty, who are we going to catch?"

Marquis Wu hummed a voice: "high-speed train rush!"

My body shuddered. Although I was already doubting him, I could not help but be shocked when I said it from the Lord. I said: "Your majesty, is there a mistake? How could Gao be a mole when he joined the army?"

"I didn't believe it either, but the eagle saw him fly away with his own eyes. He wasn't the mole. Who else could it be?"

Lord Wu strode forward. In front of him were a dozen of his own soldiers standing guard outside a tent. When they saw the Marquis coming, they all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty."

"Hasn't he gone out?

"No one ever went out," said one of the soldiers.

With another heavy snort, Marquis Wu shouted to the tent: "High speed train, come out and see me."

There was no answer in the account. I surrounded the tent with the Dragon Scales, my heart filled with admiration for the Lord. Cang Yue wanted to use bitter tactics to lure the snake man into the city, did not expect his plan from beginning to end has been in the master of the Marquis, and finally had to fight with the snake man to death. But the Marquis used him to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to remove the Cang Yue Gong, and borrow the false news from the high-speed train, forced the high-speed train rushed during the day to put the bird message, so that his identity was exposed.

High-speed rail is the mole, I'm afraid he has several times to the snake message. When the bird is released in the dark, it cannot be seen clearly, and no one knows who put it there. But this time the Chinese army all in the city, and said to go away, the high-speed train rushed to report the news, it can only be released during the day.

The tactics of the Marquis are one by one, leaving no room for reaction. The high-speed railway was defeated in the hands of the Marquis, also not unjust?

I was thinking, whether it was the eagle or the eaglet, already calling to the tent, "Join the army, Gao. Come out."

There was still no sound inside. Marquis nodded to me, I was busy to meet up, way: "the end will be at your disposal."

"You take the high-speed train out, dead or alive."

"Yes."

I jumped off my horse and said, "Come with me."

The sentry of the Dragon Scale Army led by Jin Qianshi kept close behind me. They also jumped off their horses. I took off my spear and said, "Gao join the army.

There was no sound inside. I stretched out a long gun, a pick open the door, gold Qianshi they also hand long gun, a semicircle around the tent door. It was as if a snake were hiding in a tent.

Is the high-speed train really hiding a snake man? I'm afraid not. In the camp, he would soon be discovered no matter how well he hid.

When the door of the tent was opened, there sat on the edge of the bed a man with a large hat on his head and a dagger in his breast, dead for some time.

Is that a high-speed train? I slowly approached, said: "Gao join the army, is that you?"

High-speed trains are resourceful. I know that. If he knew that he was doomed, if he had set up this act of suicide to make a last stand, I would be the first, but unwise, to approach.

I approached slowly, the tip of my gun not far from his body, and if the bullet burst, I would stab him in the shoulder. When Wu Zhao taught us how to shoot, he said it was called the slow dragon Shu claw gun. When the point of the gun approached a person three feet, no matter how fast the person moved, the power of the gun would not flash away.

The tip of the gun moved slowly towards the high speed train and hit the big hat. Just touching the brim of the hat, I pressed my wrist and exerted force on my arm. The hat gently picked up.

Inside was a pale, bloodless face, dead for a long time. It was the guard of the high-speed train.

High speed rail washed away? Just as I was starting, Jin Qianshi suddenly rushed up with another dragon Scale army. I didn't know what they were going to do for a moment, but I felt a fierce wind rushing down from my head. I looked up and saw a man hurtling down, like the wind, with a knife as long as a man's elbow, right on top of my head.

It wouldn't be the first time I've been attacked, but this guy's attack was silent, and I didn't feel it at all. How can I get away from it now? I was stunned, too.

At that moment, the spears of Jin Qianshi and another Dragon Scale Army had stabbed me in the back. I only had time to lower my head and hear the sound of "Dang". When I looked up, I saw the attacker retreat back almost at the same speed as when he had come down.

Is this a snake man, too? But though it was dark in the tent, I could see clearly that it was a short, two-legged man who looked like a high-speed train. I retracted my gun and shouted, "Shot!"

The gun shot out at the man.

Although my lance is not as good as Shen Xiping's, it is not too weak. As soon as the shot was fired, there was a sharp howl from the tip of the gun. He was about to shoot the man straight through, but the man gently stepped aside and the gun flew through the tent without touching him.

Good skill. I couldn't help admiring. But now he was cornered. No matter how good he was, he was no match for the three hundred Dragon Scales.

Jin Qianshi at the side of the thrust to me a long gun, I took the gun in hand, said: "Is high join the army? You'd better give up your arms now, or you'll die."

On top of the tent, high-speed Chong's face can not be seen, also do not know what he is thinking. Suddenly I saw a flash of light in his hand, and then I heard the eaglet cry out, "He's going to use firebombs!"

At that moment, I didn't know what to think. Zhang Longyou fire thunder bomb power, I can see clearly, but did not expect the high-speed train Chong also has. Or he used it to attack the Lord, and what of it? And if it did, we huddled in the tent would be dead.

I cried, "Throw the gun!" Before I could finish, I fired again. This time, almost everyone in the tent threw their long guns. The tent was not very high, and with so many spears thrown at it, not a worm could escape. I saw the fire thunder in the hands of the high-speed rail Chong a bright, by this light, I have seen enough to have five or six long guns stabbed his body, in a flash, then heard a "boom" a loud noise, when the dust flew, a tent suddenly collapsed.

I pulled the Babie knife from my waist and dashed against the wall of the tent. Before one had touched the wall of the tent, the knife was half a minute too close, and its point touched the thick cloth. With a sudden swing, a long gap opened up in the tent, and my body rolled through the gap.

By this time, the tent had fallen down. The tent is brushed with tung oil, was a fire thunder bomb, all of a sudden has been up, gold Qianshi with ten people in the whistle all over the tent. I threw caution to the wind, cried: "Quick rescue!"

But the tung oil burned very quickly, and when the tent caught fire, it fell like a volcano, and I was able to escape because of my sword. There were some other figures wriggling under the tent, but once they were out of sight, where would they come out?

I pulled up a corner of the ground not yet burning tent, cried: "quickly pull up!"

It's the only way to do it. Now the tent is just burning tung oil, but it holds. Wu Wanling and another soldier of the Dragon Scale Army had galloped forward. I said, "One man, take one side!" Whether they understood or not, he lifted up the edge of the Babie's knife and thrust himself forward.

Thankfully, Wu Wanling understood what I was trying to do. I rushed forward, and the tent cloth split apart in front of me. That is Wu Wanling they are pulling to both sides of the result, he knew in that moment what I want to do, and really capable. Perhaps he had thought of the same idea.

I rushed forward seven or eight steps, the tent has been torn half, in front of the eyes of a pile of black people, the first is Jin Qianshi. I cried, "Come out!"

Jin Qianshi has been dazed, heard my cry, suddenly rushed out. I do not know how many people Jin Qianshi brought in, way: "General Jin, you see, there are still people in it?"

Jin Qianshi did not answer me, Wu Wanling behind the way: "even General Jin, a total of nine people, command."

I counted every one I had escaped, and by now I had made it out of eight, so there was still one in there. I was just about to rush forward, Jin Qianshi suddenly hugged me and said, "Commander, can't go any further!"

High-speed rail fire thunder bomb is in the roof of the tent exploded, and the tent fell, the center is the thickest, and first burned up, I tore a half of the tent, only because the tent is the lower half of the tung oil burning on the cloth. In the center, it was burned through and there was no way to open it. Even if I could get in, Wu Wanling and his team could not open the tent again. I knew this, but it hurt like a knife to watch the fire grow hotter.

Another man has died trying to capture high-speed Chong!

If I could catch high-speed Chong, I would tear him to pieces. However, even the high-speed train to their own, I am afraid has even a piece of complete meat can not find out. I felt tears welling up as I watched the fire grow bigger and bigger.

It's not all about the brother who burned. I don't even know his name. I just feel like a human life is too little in the midst of this brutal killing.

I just hope no one else dies. But this is war.

I put my sword back in its sheath and turned to look at the Marquis standing on one side.

The fire was getting fiercest, but the tent had been set up with fire prevention in mind, and it did not spread to other places. Through the burning air, Wu Hou looked like a god. I stood up, went to the marquis, knelt down and said: "Your majesty, the end will die, failed to catch the high-speed train Chong."

The Marquis just nodded and said, "Get up." He turned and said, "Hawk, go and see. Is that a high-speed train?"

The eaglet dismounted and walked on. He went to the fire, smelt it carefully, and knelt down on one knee in front of the Lord Wu and said, "Your Majesty, the fire is too big to tell. But there are signs of high-speed trains."

Marquis Wu hung his head, and suddenly looked at me: "General Chu, can you see the real appearance of the high-speed railway?"

Really? I remembered. The high speed train was on top of the tent. It was not visible from below because of the backlight, but I had a glimpse of what the high speed train looked like in a flash when it ignited the firebomb.

I tried to think. "How he looks," I said, "very thin, frighteningly thin, with his cheeks drawn back and as if he had no flesh at all. Also, the ears are round and there are some short beards."

The look of the high-speed train is nothing to do with "grandeur". In fact, he looked almost ridiculous, as if he were some small animal. Perhaps the high-speed train Chong knew his appearance is too ugly, will often wear the green gauze around the big hat. In fact, how it looks, it has nothing to do with high speed train Chong long ugly ridiculous, he is still a great adviser.

Marquis Wu interrupted me and said, "Is it like a mouse?"

Even if I could not laugh now, the words of Lord Wu almost made me laugh. Jin Qianshi although they just escaped from the fire, or could not help laughing out loud. I suppressed a smile, said: "The marquis of Wu Jian, it is."

Mice and pikas look very similar, and some people say that pikas are giant mice, which is certainly true. High-speed rail Chong looks like a mouse rather than a squirrel, just because of his appearance. The appearance of the high-speed train is not a little bit of the mighty tiger, more like a mouse, people want to laugh, although he is probably a hundred times more dangerous than the tiger.

Wuhou murmured: "There is no mistake, it is him."

The tent was all up now, and there were at least three bodies in it, smelling scorched from the fire. Marquis Wu jumped off his horse, as if to say to us, also as if to mumble: "When the high-speed railway Chong joined the army more than ten years ago, there was a strange request that he should always wear the big hat all the year round, no matter who can not let him take it off."

The marquis must have caught a glimpse when he wasn't looking. Ugly people of course is not a sin, high speed Chong is a man, is so love beauty law? But the way he acts, it doesn't look like much.

Marquis Wu said, "General Chu, go on. Go back to the city."

Before he jumped on his horse, he said to the Eaglet, "Eaglet, take twenty men and make this place ready as soon as possible. This is not to be heard. If anyone asks, tell him that Gao has joined the army and is living at the East Gate."

The eaglet knelt down and said, "Yes."

High-speed rail rush is a mole once the news, the morale of the fear will have a certain blow. The southern expedition, all the way to give advice, the high-speed train to a lot of credit. If the army knows that most of the past military aircraft by a mole involved in the development, probably will feel that since the army has been in the enemy's hands, when the heart of the army is scattered, it is more difficult to do.

I also jumped on the horse and looked at the gold stone on one side. His face was covered with dust, and his face and armor were all black. I looked at the other seven who had escaped, most of them, and I feared I was no better. I stretched out my hand and wiped my face. I followed the Marquis forward.

After walking for a while, I suddenly felt a chill on my forehead. When I looked up, it began to rain again.

It's the rainy season now, but it hasn't rained much these two days. The other day there was only one rain, and then two good days in a row. But today it began to rain again, and when I looked up, I saw ten thousand silver threads, all of which seemed to come out of the void, rushing towards me from time to time.

I let some rain fall on my face, then reached over and rubbed it.

Back at the south gate, the rain was already falling heavily. As the Marquis rode first, the rain beat down on his cloak and made a magnificent silhouette. As soon as he reached the gate, Lu Gongxing ran down from the gate and said, "My Lord, it seems that the Snake Man is about to make a move."

Lord Wu dismounted and ran as fast as he could to the end of the city. We rushed after him into the city. At present, there are already many men at the south gate of the city, and the Chinese army is the largest. The other three armies have 20,000 men each, and the Chinese army has a full 40,000. Now it has about 35,000 to 6,000, half of which are already at the city head.

Looking past, in the rain, the snake formation is slowly grinding. The marquis said, "Has it always been like this?"

Road Gongxing face is very serious, way: "Yes. The Serpents appear to be on the move, intending an unprecedented attack."

Marquis Wu looked at it and suddenly said, "General Chu, I heard that you have a telescope there?"

I was shocked. Marquis Wu knows this, and perhaps one of the soldiers reported it. I knelt down before him and said, "My Lord, yes. That is Xue Gongzheng of the right army to do, can see far, but not clear enough, can only see a vague approximate."

The marquis said, "If he can make this telescope to see clearly, it will be a great achievement in the army. General Chu, come and see, what is the Snake Man doing?"

I walked up and took a closer look. But the snake men were only snake men, grinding away slowly a mile away, and now that the dust had cleared away because of the rain, you could see that the snake men were already lined up, and it looked as if they numbered more than twenty thousand. Is that Sandu's army? But though it was hard to see, the snake-man had exactly two colors. Green in the middle, brown on the left. The green was probably the army of the Sandurts, and the brown was still growing, and had probably just been brought in from the West Gate. It looks as if the Snake-man will fight me at the south gate.

I said, "The Snake Man seems to have put his main force here."

Wuhou sneered and said, "Is it the main force?"

He stared at the Serpents and said, "The best troops from the North Gate have not been transferred. They are the old minds who taught us to besiege Gao Vulture, trying to trap us."

I was shocked. We have seen so much of the horrors of the siege that the Serpents imagine a second siege as we did of the High Eagle City. We have besieged for three months, but now the city of Vulture is in ruins, and the Serpent men will be able to do more with less than three months. At this time, I heard the marquis mutter: "It is not strange to offer these four general encirclement scheme, originally from beginning to end is a trap. Hum, Tang Shengtai, you have been in the army all your life, but in the end you have fallen into the trap of such beasts."

I was silent. Such a trap is impossible to avoid, and we did not expect the Snake man to appear when we first attacked the city of Gao Vulture. At this time, the road Gong street: "Your majesty, we really do not need to tangle with them in the city, while the east gate is not hostile, at once the team, to catch them by surprise."

Lord Wu's eyes brightened and he seemed to be swayed by Lu's words. He sank down and said, "What if the snake man is already lying in wait outside the east gate?"

The ambush outside the east gate, I'm sure there will be. Snake people deliberately let us live, make us suspicious, if we rush out of the east gate, will be in ambush.

The road Gong street: "Your majesty, if you sit still and wait for death, will not be even more lifeless? Even if there is an ambush outside the east gate, we will step by step, with Mr. Zhang's fire thunder bomb to open the way, after the fire broke, the snake man can not kill us at one stroke. Or if they are trapped in the city and the grain is exhausted, then it will be more difficult to go out."

Marquis Wu frowned as he looked at the Serpent camp outside the south gate. Lu Gongheng's words are not unreasonable, but the marquis's words are related to the safety of the whole army, once the decision is wrong, it will be too late to regret. He stared out of the city, hesitating to make up his mind.

It's raining right now, and when the fire breaks, it won't be easy, and it won't burn much. But it was a good time to break out of the city. At least many of the Serpents had been diverted to the south gate, which was the most heavily defended. If we were diverted by the east gate, we would not be able to break through the siege.

The marquis thought for a moment and stood up suddenly. I looked at his figure, wondering what decision he was about to make. Just as the Lord was about to give his orders, there was a shout from the east. The Marquis rushed to the east side of the wall and looked there.

In the rain, only a hundred or two paces away, indistinct, indistinct. The south gate and the east gate are two miles apart, naturally not at first sight.

At that moment, out of the rain came a galloping horse. The horse beat like a gust of wind until it reached the city wall, and before its rider had time to dismount, he was Shouting: "My Lord! Emergency at the East gate!"

Wu Hou was surprised and said, "What?"

"Snake men have appeared at the East gate. There are tens of thousands of them. They are attacking the city gate.

There's a snake man at the East gate! I was taken aback, but it seemed expected. The Serpent would never attack three sides and leave the east completely empty.

Lord Wu said, "How is the battle going now?"

The messenger was pulling the horse, which had galloped so fast that it was still spinning round. "Our troops have suffered heavy casualties and the situation is critical," he shouted.

The Lord Wu's brow was knitted tightly. The Left army has always been the elite of the whole army. The Lu, Yu and Yu led the troops skillfully. The Left army was strong in attack and defense. But the Serpents kept attacking the city, leaving the eastern gate unattacked. This was the first time for the left army to defend against the Serpents.

Marquis Wu said: "General Lu, General Chu, you lead the cavalry to reinforce. Lei Gu, you immediately go to General Yue and General Hu to give orders, beware of the snake man's attack!"

Lu Gongxing and I agreed and rushed down to the city. Down in the city, the Dragonscale seemed to be in better order than the Vanguard. Wu Wanling rectification of military discipline, also achieved initial results.

"General Chu, you go first," I thought, jumping on my horse.

The Dragonscale had only three hundred men, much better to carry than the forward battalion of a thousand. I shouted, and the Longscale army was mounted. I said to Lu, "General Lu, I'll go first." Gallop for the east gate.

Although the ride was extremely bumpy, I was a little pleased. The Lord now often ordered me to move with the forward Battalion, and the Dragonscale had become roughly equal to the Forward Battalion.

At this time, Wu Wanling rushed up, said: "General Chu, don't rush too fast, behind the brothers can not keep up."

After all, my horse was a fine one in a million, and the one that had been replaced after the Serpents had killed the old one was a fine one, but the soldiers' horses were not so fine, and many of them had lost weight because of the lack of grass.

I slowed down and said, "How many people can't keep up? Tell them to press on at all costs."

I don't know what's going on at the East Gate. If the left army can't handle it, it will be a big deal. I felt sorry for it, but I couldn't help feeling a little schadenfreude. If half of the left army had not been transferred to the south gate to help defend, and had had experience in fighting with the Snake Man, I am afraid that even the dragon of the ice sea would be confused and unable to defeat the Snake Man at the first encounter. But on second thought, what good would it do me to gloat? The loss of the East Gate was no longer a matter for the Left Army. Now the whole army is like a long dike. If one place breaks down, others will break down with it.

It's just, what exactly does it mean when the snake man attacks? They've been lying in wait for so long, why do they suddenly appear? Do they think we're no longer retreating at the East Gate?

They're using our four generals, too!
