"Old Wang, Wutu Gu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom, has arrived a hundred miles outside Yinkeng Cave with his troops and horses." In Yinkeng Cave, the master of Zhu Rong Cave was discussing with King Mulu and others the specific steps to attack the Qingtian City military camp.
A barbarian soldier suddenly rushed in and knelt on one knee in front of the master of Zhurong Cave.
"Wutugu? What is he doing here at this time?" Mrs. Zhu Rong frowned slightly. Previously, Zhu Rong Cave Master invited all the major southern barbarian forces to come to help. The eight major cave masters gathered together, but the Ugo Kingdom Master used the sun to walk.
They were advancing at a speed of ten miles. Before they gathered in Sanjiang City, Cave Master Zhu Rong sent people to invite him, but refused to send troops. Now that victory was in sight, he suddenly came to intervene, which made Mrs. Zhu Rong instinctively feel disgusted.
Meng Huo said with a gloomy expression: "What can we do? Now that the strength of the eight cave masters of our Southern Barbarians has been greatly reduced, Wu Tu Gu may have planned to lose both us and the Han people from the beginning."
"Impossible? That's a lot of words." The seven cave masters, including the Black Dragon Cave Master and the Midang Cave Master, couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard this.
"How is it impossible? The troops from the Ugo Kingdom arrived in Sanjiang City three months ago, but they never showed any intention to help. Now our eight holes and twenty-one holes in Nanzhong have lost most of their strength. We suddenly came here at this time.
Should he help us or take advantage of our population and base, or should he decide between the two." Meng Huo said sternly.
The faces of the surrounding cave masters all turned livid. Zhu Rong Cave Master waved his hands and said: "It's useless to say anything now. If you come to help us, we will naturally welcome you. If you want to occupy our territory, you have your own sword to speak for you."
, the Han people have a good saying, it is essential to be on guard against others, just everyone should be vigilant and don’t make such a fuss.”

"Lord, everything is ready. The spies have come to report that the enemy's giant beasts are divided into three groups, blocking our army's southeast and west directions. It seems that they want to cut off our army's food route." Zhou Tai came to Qin Tian and said with cupped hands.
"Okay, get ready and act as planned." Qin Tian nodded and patted the body of the elephant next to him: "He is such a foodie. He can take anesthetics so happily."
From the beginning, Qin Tian never thought about using war elephants to fight. This was an unstable factor. The best way was to let it do nothing. For this reason, almost all the anesthetics of the Sui army were consumed.
"Here" Zhou Tai took the order and turned around.
"Lord, the sentinel just received news that there is another troop rushing to Yinkeng Cave from the direction of Sanjiang City. It seems that they are here to provide support." As soon as Zhou Taigang left, Guan Hai came in a hurry and said with a serious expression.
"Reinforcements? There are reinforcements in Yinkeng Cave? Who are they?" Qin Tian frowned slightly. Now among the Southern Barbarians, the remaining forces were basically gathered by him and Zhurong Cave Master and others. Yongchang's
The army was destroyed again. Although the Yong family was said to be powerful at the time, in fact, Qin Tian really didn't pay attention to the Yong family's power. Moreover, the big family was always a little timid in doing things. Qin Tian believed that as long as he did not
To provoke them, the Yong family will not trouble them because of Yong Kai, even if Yong Kai is their head.
"I don't know, but judging from the way he is dressed, he must be a barbarian." Guan Hai shook his head. In the southern barbarian land, even though many cave masters have been recruited, there are still relatively few sources of information.
"Barbarians? Are they wearing vine armor?" Qin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He had already seen the southern barbarian elephant soldiers. Will they be the legendary vine armor soldiers next?
"Yes, it's very weird." Guan Hai nodded.
"Closely monitor the movement of this army and horse, and report at any time. Other departments will act according to the plan." After Qin Tian pondered for a moment, he said to Guan Hai, the top priority is these elephant soldiers. As for the vine armor soldiers, Qin Tian is a little unsure.
, Vine armor is afraid of fire. It is not difficult to destroy this Vine Armor soldier. However, this Vine Armor is invulnerable and unsinkable. It is definitely a powerful weapon in Jiangdong. Qin Tian felt a little unwilling to be burned down like this.
….
"Here"
Guan Hai nodded, turned and left.
"Huh~" Qin Tian rubbed his temples. Jia Xu returned to Duzun City. He had to do many things by himself, which was really tiring.
"Lord." Zou Yulan's beautiful figure appeared behind Qin Tian at some point, holding a tea bowl in her hand and standing so quietly.
"Yulan? Sit down." Qin Tian took the teacup in Zou Yulan's hand and patted the bench next to him. Zou Yulan hesitated for a moment and finally sat next to Qin Tian.
"How are your preparations going?" Qin Tian looked at Zou Yulan and asked.
"Everything is ready." Zou Yulan said softly.
"If this plan succeeds, the Southern Barbarians can decide in one battle. Have you ever thought about what kind of reward you want?" Qin Tian said jokingly.
"It's my duty to help my lord, I don't dare to ask for anything extravagant." Zou Yulan shook her head and said.
"You..." Qin Tian sighed helplessly and said nothing more.
…
In the next two days, the barbarian army relied on elephant soldiers to block the retreat of Qingtian City from the south, east and west, cutting off food and grass. There were silver pits and high walls on the back. Not to mention that there were still three soldiers outside looking at them. Even if they didn't, they wanted to
If you want to attack by force, you have to go all out. In this case, there is no way to attack.
However, what puzzled many Nanman cave masters was that the soldiers and horses of Qingtian City did not seem to be anxious. They trained all day long, shouting and killing loudly. At the beginning, the barbarian army also launched several tentative attacks, but Laotan
The soil at the mouth of the river is soft, which is not conducive to the fighting of the elephant soldiers, and they can easily sink. Moreover, Qin Tian ordered people to dig many trenches, making it impossible for the war elephants to pass through. However, Qingtian City was not afraid of the barbarian soldiers coming to fight.
In the end, the troops from the Ugo Kingdom did not go to Yinkeng Cave. Instead, they chose to camp more than a hundred miles northwest of the mouth of the Laotan River. Their attitude of watching from the sidelines was obvious, and they barely used the trumpet to shout: We are here.
Moist.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, but the imagined self-destruction has not happened. Qingtian City is still filled with loud killing sounds every day, and is full of energy. Occasionally, an extremely attractive fragrance will come from the military camp, and the fragrance will float ten miles away.
, making the barbarian soldiers swallow their saliva continuously, but they could only stare.
"Is there no movement in Qingtian City yet?". In Yinkeng Cave, Qin Tian had not seen any movement for more than ten days, and the master of Zhurong Cave felt something was wrong.
"In the Qingtian City camp, they are practicing every day and are full of murderous intent, but they have no intention of going to war. It is said that they are now besieged at the mouth of Laotan River. Even if Qingtian manages the army well and can keep the morale of the army stable, the morale will be low.
Are you affected, and at this time, even if you don't break out, there should be no action at all? Either sue for peace, or start a war, what is the point of such a stalemate?" The cave master said with a depressed look.
Those hundred war elephants are indeed extremely powerful on the battlefield, but the consumption is also very huge. The food required by one war elephant in one day is almost as much as the supply of hundreds of soldiers. Fortunately, these big guys are not picky eaters, as long as they grow on the ground
, can eat anything, and among the southern barbarians, the most indispensable thing is plants, which can be provided as food, but it is not a pleasant thing to consume them like this all day long.
Meng Huo on the side also said: "There are also troops from the Ugo Kingdom who have been standing still."
Cave Master Zhu Rong's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan" and he looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong standing aside.
Mrs. Zhu Rong pondered slightly and said: "There is a saying in the Han art of war: Preparing for a week is lazy, but common is not appropriate. I am wondering if these Han people are so abnormal, are they brewing some conspiracy?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change, especially the master of Zhurong Cave. He had a deep understanding of how cunning the Han people were these days. He had also seen Qin Tian, and he knew very well that this Han prince was by no means peaceful.
Master, he was trapped at the mouth of Laotan River for more than half a month, but he didn’t make any move. To say that there was no conspiracy would be strange. Lord Zhurong Cave was almost certain that Qin Tian must be brewing some conspiracy, but what kind of conspiracy it was, he
But I can’t think of it…
The strength of the two sides was almost the same, but there were hundreds of war elephants here. The open terrain in Yinkengdong was perfect for war elephants to gallop. He really couldn't think of any conspiracy that could defeat the war elephants.
"Report~"
At this moment, a barbarian soldier walked in quickly from outside and knelt on one knee in front of Zhurong Cave Master: "Old Wang, fellow cave masters, there is a Han woman outside who calls herself the envoy of Qingtian City and is seeking an audience."
"Messenger?" Zhu Rong Cave Master raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Let her come in."
"Yes" the barbarian soldiers agreed, stood up and left. After a while, a woman wearing a silver scale lock, a bronze Yaksha mask on her face, and an Aurora sword on her waist, seven feet tall and well-proportioned, walked in from the outside.
The cave master couldn't help but exude a fierce murderous intent, and his cold eyes fell on the graceful body of the female general, as if he wanted to devour her.
The female general was happy and undaunted. She took her phoenix steps and strode forward. She slightly cupped her hands and said, "Under Qingtian City, Commander Luanfeng Camp and General Zou Yulan have met all the cave masters."
"Humph" came a muffled groan, and Meng Huo, who was standing next to Zhurong Cave Master, said in a somewhat sinister tone: "What does Qingtian mean? Are you looking down on us by sending a woman here?".
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Zou Yulan one by one, with murderous intent faintly in their eyes.
"Yes." To everyone's surprise, Zou Yulan said crisply: "My master once said that the Southern Barbarians have repeatedly defeated me at the hands of Qingtian City, and it is not enough to achieve anything. They are a bunch of chickens and dogs. If God does not have the virtue of good life, wave your hand.
"can be destroyed"
quiet
The cave that was noisy just now was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Bastard, who are you Qingtian? If you dare to cross this seaport, believe it or not, I will slap you to death?" After a short period of silence, several cave masters suddenly stood up one by one. Their originally evil eyes contained murderous intent.
, like a ferocious beast that wants to choose people.
"Don't believe it." The clear eyes behind the mask had a cold meaning, and they swept across the crowd coldly. A crisp voice came from behind the mask: "Six months ago, my main force worked hard to cross the vast jungle and arrive at
There is no place to stand in Zhurong Cave, and the army only has enough food and grass for three days. When the master of Zhurong Cave invades, our lord leads 30,000 troops to greet him, destroys Zhurong Cave, takes over Zhurong Cave, and captures the master of Zhurong Cave alive. I remember him as his first offender.
, not to investigate, let it go;
Three days later, the master of Zhurong Cave gathered six cave masters of Zhurong Cave and an army of 200,000. Our army was less than 100,000. In the battle of Broken Soul Valley, our master was greatly defeated. Cave Master Zhurong and his tent masters were all captured;
…
Half a month ago, our lord swept across the southern barbarians, and three cave masters came down looking for the wind. The three cave masters refused to accept and went to fight, and they were all defeated.
Zou Yulan's concise and powerful words were not too high-spirited, but they made a group of cave masters blush, but they couldn't say a word, and their originally sharp eyes became extremely ashamed.
These things happened one after another, and I didn't feel anything at all at first, but now that they were told to my face like a treasure trove, it sounded extremely harsh, but I couldn't refute it. That kind of depression really couldn't be explained to outsiders.
"Huh, what about now? Aren't you just huddled at the mouth of the Laotan River, like that cowering turtle?" Mrs. Zhu Rong was dissatisfied and said angrily.
"My lord is kind and wanted to give you a chance, but you don't know the current affairs and are stalking you. My lord has something to say: Tomorrow at noon, a decisive battle will take place in the north and south of the mouth of Laotan River to satisfy all the cave masters. I don't know what the cave masters are.
Do you dare to accept the challenge? If you do not dare, please submit your surrender form as soon as possible, otherwise when the heavenly soldiers arrive, not a single piece of armor will be left in the silver pit."
"What a strong tone." Cave Master Zhu Rong suddenly stood up, his face flushed, and his blood boiling in his chest: "With your attitude today, according to the rules of our clan, you should have been cut to pieces with a thousand swords, but you Han people have a saying, if the two armies are fighting, they will not be killed.
Envoy, I will spare your life, go back and tell Qingtian that I will definitely arrive at the Eighth Cave of the Southern Barbarians tomorrow."
"Okay." After Zhu Rong Cave Master finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from all around.
"I will convey this to you. I'll take my leave." Zou Yulan cupped her hands. After Zhu Rong Cave Master nodded in agreement, he turned and left. Although the surrounding barbarians were angry, but they were not able to get angry, they allowed her to leave.
