Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Survival

Feng Guoting said relaxedly: "God is helping us. Ha!" Wan Renyu was the most cautious, and asked: "The big ghost can change, so should the little ghost. How can you be sure that the little ghost is at the other end of the shortcut to the divine way?" Lin Zhuang said: "This is related to the flow of the underground river. The little ghost is always sixty to seventy miles south of the big ghost. It has been like this for thousands of years." Wan Renyu was surprised to see that Longying had remained silent all this time, "Why is Master Ying so silent?"

Long Ying showed a dignified look, and said: "I feel that there is an enemy in front of me, and it is still far away from us, so I feel vaguely." The three of them were taken aback. They would not be afraid of any place they had been to. At most, they would run away if they couldn't fight. How frustrating it is to fall short. Lin Zhuang said in amazement: "What should I do?" Feng Guoting said: "Brother Lin Zhuang should have been discovered by the enemy long ago. The enemy is really calm and waiting for us here." Wan Renyu said: "The enemy came prepared and must have enough strength to deal with us. Turning around makes people feel futile and disappointed, but it's better to go there and die."

Lin Zhuang said sadly: "If the opponent is riding a camel, we will never escape." Feng Guoting was surprised and said, "Camels can run faster than horses?" Lin Zhuang said: "In the desert, it's at least twice as fast. And camels can travel day and night, and they can hoof non-stop even when they are asleep. And if we are forced to flee under the scorching sun, the horses will die before sunset. " Feng Guoting said: "Isn't it a dilemma now? If so, I would rather share life and death with the enemy, and kill as many as I can." Longying smiled and said: "No one needs to die, and neither does the horse. Because they don't know what they are facing."

Turning to Lin Zhuang, he said, "Is there any place with particularly complicated terrain in the stone forest area ahead?" Lin Zhuang said: "It should be the labyrinth of the gods. It covers an area of ​​ten miles. It is a gigantic strange rock. It is lined up in formations. After entering, you don't have to spend a lot of effort to search for it. You can never get out, so it is called the labyrinth." Longying rejoiced and said: "This is God helping me. We will deal with the enemy in this place and kill them." Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting thought of his folding bow, and their spirits were greatly lifted. Long Ying can exert amazing lethality in this terrain.

Lin Zhuang said: "Then we must go to the maze before the enemy arrives." Longying said: "We must make a decision before moving. Timing is very important. Is there any way to induce the enemy to chase immediately?" The Condor suddenly fluttered its wings and soared into the sky. Lin Zhuang was startled and said, "It's a Turkic eagle." A black dot in the sky was flying towards them. Suddenly aware of the danger, he turned around and fled south. The speed of the condor was obviously much faster, and he chased after him. After a while, the two eagles turned into small black spots, which were not covered by the blinding white light.

Longying rejoiced and said: "God has blessed us, and rushed to the labyrinth immediately. The enemy is afraid that we will turn around and leave, so they will definitely kill us at full speed." The crowd yelled loudly and called for the horse with a strong voice.Move to the desired battlefield. Feng Guoting smiled wryly and said: "I don't know what exactly we are facing, it seems that we are a little more." They are in a weird and strange world, within a radius of ten miles, there are rows of gigantic rocks.Layer upon layer of large stone pier, the shape is strange, such as towers and castles.Under the dark sky, there are many strange shadows, like a spooky ghost land, but they are majestic and extremely frightening.Looking at its shape, one can think of a special terrain that was washed away by a great flood a long time ago, and then eroded by wind and rain to form another desert landform in the desert.

The four of them climbed to the top of one of the huge rocks and looked around, seeing thousands of enemies pouring into the hills of different heights and winding valleys several miles away like flowing water, surrounding them heavily. The light of the torches clearly showed the situation that the enemy trapped them, and the hooves of the horses and camels roared in the space of the strange stone forest.The terrain in the valley is complex, consisting of uneven slopes, sunken pits, or raised ground surfaces, with flat places in between, which is difficult to describe. Being in it is like being in a city made up of strange rocks. The streets are intricate, lifeless, and dead silent. Only the strong wind of the desert is stirring in the cliffs, flying sand and rocks, making sharp whistling sounds, and ghosts cry.

Wan Renyu said in a deep voice: "The number is between 150,000 and 20,000. I really didn't expect that so many people would be dispatched to deal with us." Lin Zhuang's calmness was far inferior to the three of them, and his face was not even a trace of blood. He said: "Listen to the sound of the command's horn. There are not only us Tubo people, but also Turkic people, and they are well prepared. Most of them are riding camels." soldiers. They trapped us first, and after dawn they will attack from all directions.” Long Ying's eyes were full of magic lights, and he said relaxedly: "Then we still have the whole night. Ha! It's so cool."

The three of them stared at him in bewilderment, not understanding why his death was imminent, yet still laughing.Because even if the opponents are all mediocre, they are hard to beat, there is death but no life, not to mention that the opponent must be accompanied by Tubo and Turkic masters, let alone peerless figures from Tianzhu, they can last for a quarter of an hour.This time, there is indeed no way to go out, no way to escape, and you are trapped in a dead end. Long Ying first grinned at Feng Guoting, showing his upper and lower rows of white teeth, and said happily: "We didn't expect them to be so laborious, and they never dreamed of Lao Tzu's way of breaking through. We must break up temporarily, and I will be alone." People and horses break through the gap and create chaos. When the enemy is all chasing in the direction where I am escaping, you can look down at the situation and escape calmly. First go to the plateau to meet the prince and help him hold his ground. "

Wan Renyu lost his voice and said: "If you rush towards the enemy like this, if you have ten more dragon eagles, you will still just die." Longying smiled and said: "Of course it won't work by force, but you can use the dark night and complicated terrain, tactics that the enemy has never thought of, and come up with his grandma's smart way. Don't worry! I will never die, and neither will you. Remember To take care of all the good horses." Feng Guoting said: "Don't show off your bravery, brothers, we will die together when we die." Wan Renyu said in a deep voice: "First explain your so-called wisdom, otherwise you will not be allowed to make a heroic sacrifice in front of our eyes."

Longying asked Lin Zhuang: "How is the nature of the camel?" Lin Zhuang was aroused by his heroic spirit of talking, laughing and fighting, and he recovered his fighting spirit, saying: "They are huge monsters, but they are timid and alert by nature, with very keen senses of smell and hearing. Once frightened, they will run wildly with their tails up. If the sky does not drink a drop of water, it can still carry people and things, and it is not afraid of wind, sand and cold." Longying rejoiced and said: "That means going crazy when frightened, that's enough, it's God helping me." People still don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, but they have begun to feel that he has a well-thought-out plan, not just showing off his bravery. Feng Guoting urged: "Good boy! Haven't you revealed your plan yet?" Long Ying said: "My plan is direct, simple and effective. I use the cowardice of the camel to create chaos in the enemy with the two fire dragons. When I broke out of the encirclement, the enemies in other positions thought we were all tough. To break through, you must rush to the place where the conflict occurs at full speed. At that time, you can find a hidden corner to hide your troops, and when the enemy is chasing to the north like a tide, go south and cross the Altun Mountain to the plateau." Wan Renyu said: "Two fire dragons, what are you talking about?" Long Ying said: "Take the fire-resistant thick cotton cloth that Antin's beautiful wife gave us, split it in two, and tie the two ends into cotton ropes, which are two soft weapons with a length of two feet. In such a dry place, light a fire The latter becomes a fire dragon, coupled with Xueer's speed and Lao Tzu's riding skills, killing the enemy by surprise. How can a camel go mad without being frightened, and a horse is even more afraid of fire. Ha! Lao Tzu is the super fire spirit who dominates this place Even thousands of troops can't stop me." The three of them were very excited when they heard this, even if other people had this method, it would be difficult for them to implement it, but the person who did it was Long Ying, which is another matter entirely. Feng Guoting said: "But how do we meet?" Long Ying said: "That's why I said I want to break up with you temporarily. I will lead the enemy to chase them out of the desert, and then climb up the plateau from the Khotan side to meet you. It may be three months at the earliest, or half a year later. I will find you, don't worry about it." He said again: "I have to take off the black sword and Tianbang, and only bring a folding bow, two barrels of arrows and water." Wan Renyu agreed: "This is indeed a feasible plan. We will send one person to wait and see from the highest place, and we will leave after seeing clearly that you have successfully broken through." Lin Zhuang said reverently: "No wonder the prince often said that Lord Ying is an extraordinary person who is capable of what people can't. I have a horn on the saddle. When the enemy is in chaos, I can blow the battle horn that the Tubo soldiers understand to instruct the enemy. Tubo soldiers, all go north to help." Long Ying said: "It's more foolproof, and it's not too late. I'll go to the barrier immediately, so that you can spend more time on the night journey. Ha! It's so cool! I've been depressed by the desert for more than ten days. I have someone to vent to my heart's content." Mile!" Feng Guoting reminded: "Remember to keep Xue'er." Longying smiled and said, "It's not necessary to talk about it." Take the lead and jump off the boulder. Under the cover of the sound of cold wind and sand, the dark night and the shadow of the stone forest, Longying dived along the stone pit to a distance of about five or six hundred steps from the nearest enemy, leaving Xue'er in a hidden place, holding two barrels of arrows by himself, Leap onto the top of a nearby rock. It is clear at a glance, and I can't help secretly praising the other party for knowing the soldiers. On the irregularly distributed huge rocks and strange rocks in front, there are people standing high to watch the distance. It was originally just an enemy's move, which is enough to make it difficult for him to approach.However, under the howling wind, these sentries all crouched on the top of the stone, wrapped themselves firmly in thick sheepskin clothes, and two or three of them simply closed their eyes because they couldn't withstand the wind and cold and the sand trapped in them. , Immediately, there were undue flaws in the entire frontline sentry network. Behind the sentry line, a little away from the edge of the Stone Forest Labyrinth, there are two defensive lines.The first layer is two rows of archers and a row of warriors with long weapons. It is not easy to break through this heavy line of defense head-on.What's more, there are two rows of torches inserted outside this heavy defense line, which flicker under the wind. If they fight out from the depths of the maze, they will be illuminated without hiding. Thousands of steps away from the first stage, there are groups of soldiers, each group of people gathers around a bonfire to keep warm, and some people are still drinking and eating.Such and such scenes appear at every position that can be seen leaving the stone forest. This arrangement can be regarded as a compliment as dense as an iron bucket. Also die. Thousands of steps behind the second line of defense, there is already a gravel field outside the stone forest. There are still scattered strange rocks and rocks and raised mounds, but compared with the maze, it is as flat as a road. At this position, tents are surrounded by tents, camels and war horses are concentrated in this peripheral area, and the flames are also touching the sky, but there are wind lanterns hanging vertically, illuminating the entire enemy position as bright as day. The opponent should take turns to defend. Those who are sleeping in the camp now have to replace those who are shivering outside in the middle of the night.From what we have seen, it is estimated that if we want to block all the exits of the maze, the opponent's strength should be close to 30,000.With such strength, he can conquer smaller nearby countries, and he is proud to think about it. Longying took out the folding bow from the robe specially made for him by the little witch and Qingzhi, and when he squatted down, he nimbly drew out four long arrows with his right hand. Taking a deep breath, resting one of the arrows on the flicked bowstring, he knelt down on one knee. As long as he can divert the main force of the enemy that is currently surrounding him, he is not worried about Wan Renyu and the three of them at all. Even if there are still ambushes in the north, it is definitely not the momentum in front of him.And with the help of the eagle in the sky, and only two days away from the forest area at the foot of Altun Mountain, they should be able to easily break through and reach the mountain climbing path. "laugh!" The strong arrow was shot towards the sky, but what it took was not the front, but to the left.In order to create the illusion that he broke through the level from another location, let his grandma make a noise. Because his arrows shot down from the sky, followed the route that the fire could not reach, and suddenly fell from the sky. Even the dead enemy did not know where the arrows came from. Under his swift and incomparable technique, the other three arrows were almost shot consecutively, as if several people fired at the same time, and it happened to be four people. The screams came and went. Ben used a sheepskin robe to cover his head firmly, the front and rear lines of defense, and the enemies standing guard on the top of the rock were all awakened by the shock, and the frontline archers hurriedly put their arrows on the bowstring.The watchmen stood up and looked around, some even yelled in a bravado. The other four arrows chased one after the other and shot towards the enemy's front line position on the left. All the front doors were pierced by the arrows, and they died terribly. However, the opponent was well-trained, frightened and not confused, and raised a shield or something to block arrows, but it was a pity that it blocked the front instead of the side.And because the arrow is filled with magic power, it can definitely pass through the vine shield and take the life of the shield holder. There was commotion in the rear.People kept rushing out of the tent, causing camels to grunt and war horses to neigh. The horn sounded. Dragon Eagle immediately increased its speed, firing arrows continuously.The arrows were fired without fail, and some people couldn't stop being hit by the arrows and fell down. The enemy finally couldn't hold back, and sent a large number of people to push forward, right in the middle of Long Ying's plan to lure the enemy. The Dragonhawk fires instead towards the enemy that pushes forward to search for him.At this time, he has fully entered the peak state of the Demon Extreme level, and he only picks those who hold the torch to attack, and those who are hit by the arrow turn around with the torch.Not only does it chill the enemy's courage, but the worst thing is that the environment turns dark, making the enemy in a dilemma, and eventually chaos occurs. There was a sound of hoofbeats, and dozens of people galloped to the attacked place on the left, obviously the generals in charge of the other party.Longying once fought against the Turkic people, and recognized from the armor and equipment that they were guarding this side. When the thirty arrows in one quiver were shot and there were only seven or eight arrows left in the other quiver, Long Ying did not hesitate to change his target to the sentinel on the top of the rock in front, so that no one could stay on his way through the level. Warning from above. When the last arrow is shot, put away the folded bow, move to the stone edge, jump down, and land on Xue'er's horse, Xue'er hisses happily, but no one will hear it, the enemy's noise is loud, and the horn blares urgently , coupled with the howling cold wind, even if you yell, there is no guarantee that no one will hear you. While urging the horse forward, Long Ying bent left and right around the strange rock, and at the same time wrapped the Jijiuzhang soft weapon made of twisted thick cotton cloth on the horse's back around his arm.The two whip-like objects, each about two feet long, had their ends dipped in what little kerosene they had left, so they would ignite immediately upon touching the fire. Less than 200 steps away from the enemy line in front, Longying gradually speeded up, and Xue'er was caught suddenly. Xueer, who was more aggressive than Longying, was a little impatient, and when she received the message from her master, she immediately became mad. Raising the speed to the limit, it rushed out from the shadow of a huge rock. When the two rows of archers in the front line were startled and launched hastily, the people and horses were less than fifty steps away from them. Xue'er leaped over the torch array in the air, and all the arrows fell into the empty space. When they were about to shoot the second round of arrows, Longying used the cotton rope lit by the torch to sweep towards them head-on. Then, the soldiers in the third row were throwing back and forth, and the dragon and eagle troops were everywhere, and no one within a radius of five feet could be spared either death or injury. No one can get up from the ground. The front end of the cotton rope was already on fire, and under his swing, the men and horses performed acrobatics, turning into a flame drawn by shadows of ropes and flames, rolling towards the enemy on the second line of defense like a big fireball. What made the enemy even more unexpected was that the dragon eagle used its miraculous and unbelievably flexible "Sofa" to roll up the lighting torches along the way with cotton ropes, and threw them at the enemy like a hidden weapon.The enemy had to dodge left and right, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack. The enemy who was guarding the front line frantically chased him from behind, but how could it compare to Xueer's speed. The whole body is moved by one hair, and the coalition forces on this side are in chaos, and those farther away are completely unclear about the situation.Let the chaos spread. The cotton rope was filled with magic energy, and two fire dragons rushed forward like lightning, and spread out left and right, sweeping both sides outward. Those who were hit were thrown backwards, and those who were swept were flying to the left and right. No one could stop him for a moment. As he swung, the cotton rope that burned more and more intensely sent out a large amount of fire debris, fluffing towards the sky. Enemies farther away are sprinkled, making enemies more chaotic.What is even more unbearable is that Longying took advantage of the long rope to blow up the coals of the bonfire and throw them at the opponent in a large way. The enemy with a complete formation is already defeated and defenseless. The Dragon Eagle turned into the flames of Vulcan, broke through the second line of defense like a bamboo, and the price was only a few insignificant injuries. Hundreds of enemies, armed with shields and spears, came to fight at the tents and camels gathered nearly a thousand steps away. Longying thought about success or failure, but at this moment, he swung his bow left and right, rolled up two torches, but the target was not the enemy in front, but the camp and camel horse gathering place in the distance. After walking less than 300 steps, more than ten torches have been thrown out with the same method. Before the short soldiers met, the tents were on fire, and the camels neighed. The enemy in front suddenly stopped moving, arrows were on the strings, and long weapons were pointed at him, forming an unbreakable formation, waiting for him to die. When Long Yingxin told me to end my life, suddenly the enemy line was in chaos. It turned out that a large number of frightened camels and war horses rushed frantically from behind the enemy line. The dragon eagle called out thanking the heavens, and swung the flames like a sky full of flames. The timid camels and horses could not be frightened, jumping hooves, turning around, dodging, and the panic-stricken enemies, the crazy chaos is really indescribable. Xue'er showed the power of a super warhorse, galloping like the wind, dashing from left to right without any gaps, coupled with Long Ying's fire rope that both animals and animals can avoid, after a while, she broke through the barrier and ran towards the camp. More people rushed out from the tents, but it was no longer possible to organize an effective interception, because the entire periphery was full of frenzied camels and war horses running around. Under the cover of the camel's huge body, Long Ying disappeared, and no one could figure out his location. Longying didn't do it, and he didn't stop. He rushed into the gathering place of the tents in the chaos, burned the camps, and killed people when he saw them. Hooves roared, horns rang far and near, just as Long Ying expected, the enemies in the other three directions, east, south and west, all thought that the four of them had broken through the blockade line in the north, so they all charged Enter the maze and kill to the north of the maze. When Long Ying fled, hundreds of tents were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and it is unknown how much food and supplies they had burned. The enemy will not stop, and the dangerous game of chasing and fleeing is just the beginning. Longying looked up to the sky and screamed strangely, venting the depression in his heart. Dragonhawk rode Xue'er, braving the heat and poison of the sun, running wildly in the honeycomb-shaped Kumtag Desert.The sun that no man can resist ruled everything, and the waves of sand turned into blinding white light, steaming with heat, and the people and horses seemed to be scorched by an endless sea of ​​fire.Xue'er didn't listen to his command and galloped at full speed in the direction it determined, walking on the soft sand like flat ground. The only thing Long Ying could do was to sit on the horse's back and send the depleted magic energy into its body go. There was a dangerous area of ​​undulating sand dunes ahead, and Xueer carried him straight to the first ridge without hesitation. Come on, with the power of Longying, there is no way not to close your eyes.The sand penetrated into the ears, nose, and clothes everywhere, and the discomfort was hard to describe. It made people know that the hot sun and the sand ruled this terrible place. Three days ago, he successfully broke through the siege, and arrived at the beautiful lake of the Great Ghost before dawn. After tossing around in the middle of the night, the people and horses were exhausted, so they went to the lake to enjoy the joy of surviving a near death. He and Cher were still soaking in the cold water. Longying's only wish is to stay in this desert paradise until the sun goes down before continuing on his way. At this moment, dust heads rose from the desert level, and Longying and Xueer reluctantly left the lake to go ashore and observed the enemy under the shade of the trees.
