Chapter 34 Chapter 2 Dead Moon Canyon

Five days later, Benyue Dongmai ran across the front. This is a particularly beautiful mountain range with undulating peaks. Except for the peak part, it is completely covered by green plants. From the appearance, it is impossible to imagine that there is a secret path inside that can be traversed by people and horses. When the sun was setting, we camped and rested on a hilly highland facing the east side. After two days of marching day and night, the men and horses were exhausted. Dahei sat next to Cairou, opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue, dripping saliva, fully revealing the suffering of marching under the scorching sun.

In the pure land, the days are warm and the nights are cool. As soon as the sun closes, it is very refreshing. It is fortunate that this is the case, otherwise the people and horses would not be able to bear it. Cairou took out the kettle and poured water into a wooden bowl to quench Dahei's thirst. She served this guy meticulously.It seems that if Dahei is to choose only one master to follow between Cairou and me, I will definitely lose the choice. Shining Valley might be the ideal place for Dahei to die. Thinking of this, he felt a pain in his heart. Cairou handed over the kettle, I shook my head and said: You drink three sips before it's my turn.

Cairou said unyieldingly: No!You drink first. I knew I couldn't hold her back, so I picked up the kettle and poured it down head-on, letting the cold water splash on my face, mouth and body, feeling the gift of life, and when there was only half of the kettle left, I handed it to her. Pick soft. Cairou took the water bottle and said in a low voice: I know I will never forget how happy you are drinking water. I smiled and said: I will never forget your unrestrained swimming in the lake. Cairou lowered her head and sighed: How I wish time could stop at that moment and never move forward.

Niya came over, sat down next to Cairou, and said, "Tian Zong's people are back. They have reached Death Moon Canyon. Everything seems to be peaceful, but he is still not sure whether it is 100% safe." Cairou handed the water bottle to Niya and said: Take a sip! Niya took the kettle, put her arms around Cairou's shoulders, brought the spout to Cairou's lips, and forced her to take two sips before she drank it herself. This girl really knows Cairou's way of selflessness. Cai Judao: Why did you give this beautiful place the terrible name of Death Moon Valley? Niya smiled and said: Is it scary?You are too timid.The meaning of the dead moon is that because of the luxuriant trees and the high mountain walls on both sides, the time for the moon to shine into the valley is very short.

Then he moved Xiaozui to Cairou's side, and chattered another word, and when he heard Cairou nod his head, he still showed yearning. I became curious and asked: What did you tell Cairou? Cairou couldn't bear it, pushed Niya, and said: Tell him? Niya said: "It's nothing, I just told Xiao Cairou that there is a hot spring near Death Moon Valley, it's very comfortable to soak in it!" I laughed and said: Women love to take a bath. Niya Cairou and the two angrily said: Don't men like to take a bath? I laughed and said: Love!Of course love loves to let women bathe him.

The faces of the two girls turned red. A female soldier of Niya came over and bowed and said: The tent is ready, please invite the Duke, Great Swordsman and Miss Cairou to eat in the tent. A bright moon rose away from Benyue East Meridian, illuminating the earth with her incomparable light. Although I was standing on the wasteland outside the camp, my mind flew across the mountains like a dormant dragon in the distance, and arrived at the world on the other side of the mountains. The fate of Pure Land awaits there silently. I originally thought that I could control the fate of the Pure Land, but at this moment, I realized that I was wrong. Many things on this land are not determined by human will or strategy.

Assuming that the Heicha people are waiting for us there, the Pure Land will be over. The morale brought about by the two victories will also completely collapse. Our 30,000 Sun Warriors are already the most elite troops that the southern military forces can muster. Even if we're not afraid of wasting precious time or losing morale, waiting for Redstone to join us won't help, because the Soldiers of the Sun won't be able to hold out against the Black Forks. In particular, the opponent is ready to wait, but we are exhausted and exhausted. What's more, the other party may have a big head of state that I am completely unsure of defeating.

The south collapsed and the Tianmiao fell into complete isolation, and it was only a matter of time before its demise. An ominous feeling rose in my heart. The difference between me and Yonov and the others is that I know that Yin Nushi must be a traitor, and she is no less resourceful than me, so I have always been at a disadvantage, and this time it will be the same. But at this moment, even I feel powerless to recover from the impending doom. Niya said from the side: Great Sword Master!what's on your mind? I said in a deep voice: "The Heicha people are waiting for us over there, I can feel it."

Cairou leaned against my delicate body and trembled suddenly, stretched out her arms to wrap around my waist and said: "Then what should I do?" Niya forced herself to be calm and said: But the news from Tian Zong is good! I shook my head and said: You won't understand, this is the swordsman's intuition, which is beyond rationality, just like when I first met the female Yin teacher, I felt that she must have something to do with Wudi. Cai Judao: Who is the Wu Emperor? I took a deep breath and said: No one knows that the Wu Kingdom is a mysterious and evil place on the earth. According to my guess, the Wu Emperor has been supporting the Great Head of State to do evil, so he specially sent a wizard to assist the Great Head of State. If not for the wizard If you kill me, the empire won't collapse so easily, so when the head of state arrived in the pure land, he found the female teacher Yin. It can be seen that there must be a connection between them, and the black fork man is also supported by the Wu emperor. He is this The source of all evil on earth.

Yes! My real enemy is this Wudi hidden behind all evil, he is the core of evil power. Niya was also infected by me, tremblingly said: Then what should we do? I sighed and said, "Suppose we stand still or change our course, do you think it's okay?"We have reached the point where there is no turning back, the only option is to design strategically and fight a tough battle with the black forks, Niya, my baby, listen Niya said: I am listening! My eyes were fixed on the crescent moon in the sky, and I let out a long breath: Immediately call all the generals here for a meeting, I want them to carry out my orders without any mistakes, we will definitely lose this tough battle, but we must Lose beautifully, seek the greatest results in defeat, and even win.

Niya obeyed and left. I closed my eyes, and suddenly, I knew that I had accepted the identity of the Holy Sword Knight again. After Fengxiang's death, this was the first time I felt this way. It was only when we entered Dead Moon Canyon that we really understood what Niya described the secret valley that night. Not only the leaves in the valley are densely covered, but also the cliffs on both sides are covered with plants protruding horizontally. It can accommodate thousands of people, and every time you turn a corner, the scenery in front of you will change. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is really a good place, but it is definitely not suitable for a fast march. Starting to enter the valley at dawn, the first troops arrived at the mouth of the valley in the afternoon. The army stopped. I rode my horse to the front, and a group of generals were already waiting at Taniguchi. The soldiers are all busy, making dummies made of trees and branches and leaves as materials according to my instructions, and sharpening long logs for weapons. I jumped off the flying snow and came to the world. Looking out through the leaves, I saw a vast plain beyond another vast sparse forest area. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and I didn't feel any danger on the surface.The forests on the left and right sides are relatively dense, stretching for more than ten miles, it is really easy to hide tens of thousands of people. Tian Zongdao: After passing through the sparse forest for about five miles, we will reach the Great Plain of Zhutian. Yonov's handsome, tired face looked dignified, and he said, "Tian Zong once sent people to look in the woods outside the valley, but they didn't find anything, but I dare not say that the Heicha people are not outside, because if I were them, I would Deploy the army elsewhere, only send people to scout and monitor the situation in the valley, and then use the usual methods of the Black Cross, such as mirrors reflecting sunlight and fire to communicate, to determine the ambush action. This man is worthy of being a famous general of the new generation of Pure Land, and he is not confused by the appearance of things at all. Hou Yudao: The best place for the enemy to attack us is at the edge of the great plain behind the sparse forest, because the hills there are undulating, which is most conducive to ambushes. I said in a deep voice: Have Taniguchi's defensive measures been completed? Tian Zong nodded and said: We cut down a large number of trees and made a lot of ropes with tree vines. It only takes a very short time to set up defenses at Taniguchi, which is enough to resist the strong attack of the black fork ghost for one to two days. I said: That's right, the goal of the black fork ghost is to wipe out our entire army, so we must wait for our entire army to leave Death Moon Valley before launching an attack. The ideal is to cut off the road back to the valley and trap us in the valley. In the sparse forest, or even set fire to the forest, then we will be in a desperate situation. Everyone's expressions changed. Yonov let out a sigh of relief: This method is indeed extremely vicious. Fortunately, the great swordsman has already had countermeasures. I said to Zesheng: How many horses have been vacated? ! Ze Sheng chased after respectfully: There are seven thousand horses, great sword master! I looked at Hongqing, who hurriedly said: The rocket seeds soaked in pine oil have been made. I nodded and said: Good!Then he told Tian Zong: "Keep calm now, light a fire and make dinner, order the soldiers to make as much noise as possible, and send out scouts to put on a show. When it gets dark, you will lead 5,000 people to sneak into the sparse forest and open a road for you." Once you complete the five-horse aisle, it's time for us to start. Everyone responded with a bang, and each dispersed to act according to plan. I asked Niya who was staying by my side: Didn't you think that there was a high possibility that the female Yin teacher was not a spy?Why are you now pretending to be an enemy? Niya's pretty face blushed, and said angrily: "Stingy!"Never let people go. Cairou rescued her and said: Because you are a holy sword knight, when it comes to critical moments, everyone will believe in you, but not yourself. I laughed and said: So it is!oops! Niya stepped on my toe vigorously and fled away, hating me so much that my teeth itch. Cairou's hand penetrated into my arms, and she hugged me intimately and said: I am very excited that the Great Sword Master will lead the Sun Warriors to another victory. My face darkened, I sighed and shook my head and said: You are wrong, my goal is just to hope that I will not be defeated. According to the previous record, this person is very ruthless and steady, not to mention the great head of state and the Yinnv The two divisions were on their side, and their military strength was almost double that of ours. Cairou's joy disappears. I whispered: Cairou!Can you listen to my Rand? Cairou bowed her head and said: Listen!But I still want to be by your side, fighting side by side with you, because I can't bear the torture of you being born and dying, but I hide in a corner and miss you. I had a big headache, but I still had the last resort, I gently pushed her hair that covered her beauty and said: If you want to follow me, what about Dahei?You know that you can’t tie a rope to a big black with infinite strength. If it chases you, what do you think will happen? Cairou trembled all over, her cherry lips moved slightly, but she couldn't speak. I comforted me: If you were by my side, I would take care of you distractedly. If I met the head of state, it would be very dangerous. Cairou thought for a while, then nodded meekly and said: But at least you have to let Dahei and I accompany you to the woods. I promise that if I want to retreat, I will definitely retreat to the valley with the brigade. I said solemnly: No matter how dangerous the environment I am in, you have to do the same. Cairou said decisively: Yes! Holding her hand tightly, I thought of her chastity guard on her beautiful and plump thighs. If anything happened to me, I knew that this beauty from the Shining tribe would use it without hesitation, and let it complete the purpose of its existence. death mission. Seven thousand horses carrying sharpened long wooden dummies, mixed among 30,000 warriors, slowly crossed the long grassland between Taniguchi and the sparse forest and entered the sparse forest under the illumination of the crescent moon. Since the enemy knows our marching route, he must have sent someone to estimate our strength from a distance, knowing that our strength is between 30,000 and these 7,000 dummies are just to give them an illusion. Zesheng and Hou Yu each led a team of 2,000 people, guarding the two wings of the plain, protecting both sides of the team, and more importantly, blocking the enemy's sight of Taniguchi, so that Niya led the people to complete the important task of deploying defenses . As soon as we entered the forest, 7,000 fake cavalry were gathered immediately, passed through Tian Zong's newly opened forest road, and quickly gathered towards the edge of the sparse forest. This was to make the Heicha people miscalculate the speed of our march. Cairou hugged Dahei, rode the horse, and stood beside me. Everyone's hearts were like tense strings, no one was in the mood to speak, only the sound of hooves rising and falling. Yonov and Tian Zong had been waiting at the edge of the forest. Cairou and I came to the two of them, looked out of the forest, saw the hills rolling under the bright moon, silent and peaceful. I said: what's the matter! Tian Zongdao: I smell danger, listen!There is no sense of life at all, and the nearby animals have gone there.The Heicha man must have sealed the horse's mouth with a muzzle. Yonov nodded and said, "I was ambushed once by the Black Cross, and I was as untroubled as I am now. I took a deep breath and said: Are you ready? The two nodded quickly. I fell silent and looked ahead silently. After a while, everyone looked at me strangely when they saw that I hadn't moved. Ding!The Witch Blade on its back screamed. Everyone was startled. I smiled slightly and said: I was waiting for this sound.Then he said solemnly: When the horn sounds later, all of you must retreat according to plan, and ignore me and my people, you know? The two nodded. I turned my head and exchanged deep glances with Cairou, and I held the horse's belly and galloped forward under the flying snow. Feixue raised his head to the sky and neighed, and all the war horses immediately reacted and neighed excitedly. All of a sudden, the world responded. The soldiers let go of the reins of the horses carrying the dummy, and the seven thousand horses immediately chased after them. A total of two thousand soldiers galloped out from both sides of the sparse forest, forcing the fake knights in the middle, and galloped to the edge of the Zhutian Great Plain. go. The sound of hooves boomed. In a blink of an eye, under my leadership, nearly 10,000 horses carrying real and fake soldiers galloped up to the highest point of the first hill, and there was a rolling hill in front of us. I sneered in my heart, the Heicha really didn't take the Sun Warrior seriously, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed us to attack before we were fully out of the forest. They will pay for it. We started rushing down the slope. Swish! Suddenly, arrows filled the sky. Countless black-crossed knights poured out from the front, left, and middle sides, charging towards us. The people in the first ten or so rows all bent their bows and set up arrows, and fired at us, the killing sound was loud. I reined in the horse's head and let the false knight who was charging behind me continue to charge towards the enemy. The horse fell, and the dummy staggered. The rest of the horses swooped forward on the dead horse. Two thousand soldiers and I fell behind. With a long laugh, I pulled out the rocket soaked in turpentine and ignited it, and shot it away with a swish. The rocket landed on a dummy with perfect accuracy and immediately burst into flames. All the Sun Warriors shot rockets one after another. Although only a small number of them had my standards, in a short while there were hundreds of thousands of dummies blazing up. One by one, the fire men, carried by the horses, rushed towards the attacking people. The Heicha rushed forward, and the horses were stimulated by the fire, and they all rushed forward like a madman. The distance is too close to allow the Heicha people to have any chance to change the battle formation.At the same time, there was a loud killing sound from behind Shulin. My guess is correct, the enemy army is trying to cut off our retreat, but they will be strongly opposed by Niya's troops, and they will be flanked by the Zesheng and Houyu troops who are turning back. The false knight in front has rushed into the enemy's formation. It's hard to put into words the chaotic situation, especially when the man with the fire on his back was in a half-crazy state and rushed into the enemy's horses and ran wildly. Doom trampled by a thousand hooves. I raised my long sword and went forward to kill. The horn soldiers beside him immediately blew their horns. woo woo woo Nearly 5,000 wild horses rushed deeply into the enemy's formation, and the vanguard of the Black Cross army fell into hysterical chaos, making it difficult to advance half a step. The two thousand Sun Warriors around me are all handpicked archers, and they will follow our advance. Arrows rain down on the enemy's position, without giving them a chance to regroup. The sound of hooves sounded from the rear left and right. After Tian Zong and Yonov received my message, they also came out to attack the enemy's more complete two wings. The witch's blade returned to its sheath, and two big stupid spears came into his hands, and he picked them out left and right, and the black fork men fell off their horses with blood splashing one after another. Seeing my bravery, the two thousand soldiers of the sun were greatly encouraged, and accompanied me into the enemy's line bravely. The sound of shouting and killing filled the whole world, horses neighed and people shouted, and the battle finally began. Every step deeper, the enemy's resistance begins to strengthen. After a while there were only a thousand people around me. I put away the iron spear, pulled out the witch blade, and after killing more than ten people in a row, I shouted: "Retreat!" The horn sounded. We have the upper hand, and we will retreat if we want to. The troops of Tian Zong and Yonov also retreated slowly. Arrows filled the sky and shot at the chasing Heicha man. Thousands of knights and I guarded at the end, covering Tian Zong and others to retreat into the sparse forest. Five thousand sun infantry rushed out, stuck their shields on the ground, hid behind the shields and bent their bows to shoot wildly at the enemy. This is a moment of life and death. Thousands of soldiers and I gradually approached the shield and arrow array set up by the infantry, as long as we cross the boundary line, we will be safe. Ah! A shrill cry came from behind. I felt stunned, and when I looked back, I happened to see the two Sun Warriors who were walking at the end fly into the air and throw them to the ground. A demonic giant was far ahead, leading the wolf-like Heicha people to chase after him. Great Head of State! I guessed right, he was here. He is not afraid of the threat of arrows. If he bites his tail and kills him, there will be no more than a thousand people under my command and five thousand infantry who are much slower. I reined in my horse and turned around, shouting: "Back all back!" The horn sounded again. Five thousand infantry drew their shields and ran back to the sparse forest. Feixue stomped on both hoofs, leading me to rush towards the head of state. The Sun Warriors turned on their backs, and the Great Führer chased after me without any hindrance. I shouted: go!Set fire to the forest! The head of state gradually expanded in front of my eyes, and the distance quickly narrowed. The head of state screamed: Rand, this is where you were buried. Only then did I realize that the weapon in his hand was not a sword, but a fifteen-foot-long log as thick as a human body. The horse under him was also thicker than any war horse I had ever seen. Such an amazing weight. He hasn't got the Zhenwu knife from the Heicha man yet. Whoa whoa whoa! The sound of burning trees came from behind me. They have obeyed my order and set fire to the forest. My heart is getting hot, as long as I can kill the great head of state, and then get back on my horse and rush back to the forest, and walk along the secret path opened by Tian Zong, I can safely pass through the fire forest and return to the valley. Will not dare to chase. A woman screamed from behind. I looked back in amazement, and saw a black speck flying out from the forest that was already on fire, followed by my little Cairou. I was sweating profusely immediately. It's big black. When it saw the head of state, it ignored Cairou and ran out to take revenge. This idea is not finished yet. The wind came from the back of his head. In a hurry, I swung my sword to block. Benedict! The Witch's Blade almost flew away. Feixue couldn't bear the pressure, her front hooves bent, she staggered two steps to the left, and almost fell to the ground. I passed by the head of state. A small piece of his wooden post was broken. But my hand was so numb that I could barely lift it, but I was much stronger than before, otherwise, just this hard connection, plus the weight of the wooden column itself, would guarantee that even the arm bone would be broken. The head of state screamed wildly and rushed back. Put the sword in your left hand and strike forward, hitting the head of the wooden pillar. The Witch's Blade sank deep into the wood. I secretly screamed that it was not good. The head of state has already twisted hard. Fortunately, I also turned my luck at the same time, the sawdust splashed down, and the witch blade came out in time. woof! A big black voice sounded nearby. Cairou's mournful cry to Dahei also entered his ears. The Heicha people rushed over the mountain, and the nearest one was only a few hundred steps away from us. The big wooden pillar of the head of state danced in a big circle on his black helmet. The giant body bent forward and swept towards him like lightning, only taking Feixue's horse head. He was still more than ten steps away from me, but because of the wooden pillar After a small piece was broken, the length was still more than ten feet, so unexpectedly I could fight back. Without any fear, I returned the Witch Blade to my right hand, and with a skillful force, I pushed the wooden pillar away. A black shadow flashed, and the big black bit the head of state's thigh. I hissed and yelled at Dahei, and picked up the big bow hanging beside the horse, and flew towards Dahei. The Führer didn't even look at Dahei, and took advantage of the momentum to sweep over again. This time, the target was my thigh. If he hit him, not only would my leg bones be shattered, but even Feixue's internal organs would be shattered. The black fork was even closer, only two hundred steps away. Woohoo! With a snap, the longbow hit Dahei, who was leaping towards the head of state in the air, and knocked him away. Cairou rode up to it and grabbed it's neck hair with one hand. My heart relaxed, and the Witch Blade slashed sideways. Crack! The wooden pillar should be cut off with a length of three feet. I took advantage of the momentum and pulled the horse's head, Feixue jumped up, avoiding the remaining wooden pillars. At this time, Cairou leaned over and grabbed Dahei's thick and soft neck hair, and she didn't know where the strength came from, but she actually lifted Dahei onto the horse's back. The head of state gave a sinister grin, only the ten-foot wooden pillar was recovered, and he swept it towards Cairou. Out of my wits, I rode Feixue forward desperately, seeing that it was too late, but I didn't know that the wooden pillar of the head of state froze in mid-air, in the blink of an eye, it suddenly changed its direction, and the back pillar swept towards me. His target turned out to be me. I wanted to raise my blade to block, but it was too late. When I bent down, the wooden pillar crossed my back, and the strong wind made my back chill. I straighten my waist. The wind blew again. It turned out that his wooden pillar had just passed my back a little, and then it swept back again. The cleverness of his moves, the cleverness of his strength, and the timing of his timing made me completely lose the chance to dodge. Amidst Cairou's screams, the wooden pillar of the head of state hit my right shoulder. At this moment of life and death, my swordsman's calm and cold composure came into play. When the armor of the armguard shattered, my feet left the stirrups, and at the same time, I lowered them a little bit to press down on my shoulder blades, which can bear more force. Catch the wooden pillar, twist and unload it. The Witch Blade is exchanged from the right hand to the left. If so, a force that was completely irresistible came and swept me off the horse's back, throwing me far away. With a bang, I fell firmly to the ground, my whole body was numb with pain, and the Witch Blade miraculously stayed in my hand. I managed to look up. There are horses all around, but I recognize the horses of the Sun Warriors. The great head of state's roar and the sun warrior's screams could not stop ringing out. I bit the tip of my tongue, cheered up, and managed to get up, only to see Yonov and a group of sun warriors galloping towards the head of state desperately, preventing him from coming to make up for me. The Heicha man's cry was only fifty paces away. At this time, Feixue rushed to my side. I know there is only one way to save Cairou, save Yonov and his soldiers, and even save myself. I screamed wildly, and with all my strength, jumped onto the flying snow, shouting: Take Cairou back! A horse's belly. Feixue galloped away like an arrow. The Führer's roar was approaching from behind, showing that he was desperately chasing after him. I was dizzy for a while, and finally couldn't hold it any longer, so I fell on the horse's back. Feixue rushed up the hill and down the hill again. This undulating terrain is not only conducive to ambush, but also conducive to escape. The sound of hooves behind him gradually weakened. I finally passed out.
