Chapter 388

"The herd is crazy. What should we do, master ye?" Feeling the heavier and heavier breathing of the beast and the white fog from his mouth and nose, Meng Cang knew that the fighting horse's physical strength was close to the limit. If he didn't rest, he would be very tired. He couldn't help shouting to Ye Zhiqiu, who was also riding on the beast.

Since yesterday they were led away by the herds blocked by the fire of Danshui on the south bank, the still huge herds for their cavalry team of 6000 light riders have been chasing them. Along the way, they didn't know how many beasts in the herd were exhausted, but the speed of the herd didn't stop at all. Even after a night of chasing, the speed didn't decrease much.

You know, these beasts, however, went all the way north after they came out of xiyuanze. According to the calculation of time, they hardly got any rest all the way, and they still have such physical strength.

"This may be the horror of the Jedi tide." Ye Zhiqiu exclaimed in his heart. These herds have lived in xiyuanze since they were born. Except for the exotic and fierce beasts in the herds, the size of the rest of the beasts is not much different from the mountain and grassland beasts they usually see. However, their strength, speed and endurance are better than their counterparts outside xiyuanze.

Ye Zhiqiu is very clear that it is not good to go on like this, but with his quick wit, he can't think of a good way. The two counties, south of zhennanguan and north of Huangyanjiang River, were adjacent to Daqian before, and the core elite area of Tianxing was south of Huangyanjiang river. Therefore, they had always been the strategic buffer zone between Tianxing and Daqian, and had not been developed accordingly. Before the battle of xiaoqingshan, there were only a few scattered market towns, not even a large-scale city.

After the battle of xiaoqingshan, Daqian won the land of these two counties, but because of the southern Xinjiang war which started at the end of last spring, he did not invest the corresponding human and financial resources to govern. Now, it's not too much to say that there is no smoke in this land. Even if he wanted to find a place to rest, he couldn't.

Ye Zhiqiu knew very well that from their present position, it would take six or seven days to reach the hexingyuan fortress in the war of Lu Queda hexingyuan, and it would take nearly half a month to reach Ning'an county. Moreover, relying on the arrangement of Lu que, he had to bypass Ning'an County, and even deliberately avoid the road to the north to lead the animal tide to the North Bank of Ning'an river.

Because the animal tide has broken out now, after Ning'an county has solved the impact of the aftershock of the animal tide, the strong wind corps and Huxiao Corps stationed in Ning'an city will go north to join Lu que of Danshui to launch a general attack on the animal tide under Zhennan pass. So he had to keep away from the marching routes of the two legions of fierce wind and tiger roar while towing the herd.

"Master Ye." Not only Meng Cang but also Li Chang was worried. Although the Changqing scouts' combat horses under his command are threaded wildebeests, and the endurance of the threaded wildebeests is slightly better than that of the fast wind beasts, he also knows that the endurance of the threaded wildebeests is better than that of the fast wind beasts, but the strength is limited. Moreover, under the influence of the momentum of the beasts behind, the combat strength consumption of the threaded wildebeests is much greater than usual, At this time, he can feel that the wildebeest has begun to sweat, which is a sign of exhaustion.

"Turn around and go to yanlingyuan." Ye Zhiqiu measured in the heart for a while, suddenly said.

"Yanlingyuan?" Meng Cang and Li Chang were stunned, then they looked at each other, bit their teeth and nodded.

A long sound of the horn sounded, and the cavalry, which had been running straight to the southwest, suddenly turned and rushed to the south.

And just as the cavalry turned, a huge roar broke out in the herd a few miles behind them, and then the whole herd turned and continued to follow the cavalry.

What ye Zhiqiu doesn't know is that although most of the fierce beasts and exotic beasts in the animal tide had passed through Danshui before the fire broke out in Danshui, one of the fierce beasts on the ground steps was left by the golden winged Mirs to lead the team after the animal tide. And this beast is very common in bugui mountain, but it is rare in xiyuanze. And the ground step purple leopard is different from the one in bugui mountain. Although the pattern on its body is also purple, the fur beyond the original purple is not white like its counterparts in bugui mountain, but bright red like blood.

Once a beast has reached the earth level, whether it is an extremely intelligent spirit beast, a ferocious beast, or a mediocre beast in between, it has already possessed certain wisdom, and the wisdom of the fierce beast is all focused on how to fight. Now in the eyes of this purple leopard, the human cavalry team in front of it is the target that must be torn to pieces, No matter where they go, it will follow. As for whether the current speed will cause the rapid reduction of the number of the animals it commands, it is not in its consideration at all.

Ferocious beast, is the existence of Great indifference to life, whether it is the enemy, the same race, or their own.

Hearing the huge roar behind them, ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang, Li Chang, and the soldiers under their command all felt a jump in their hearts, and they also felt that the body of the fighting horse was slightly tight.

"Maintain the speed. We must get to yanlingyuan before night." Always elegant, ye Zhiqiu immediately pulled the armor silk belt between his neck to make his breathing more unobstructed. Then he yelled.

The reason why he chose yanlingyuan was not because of how special the terrain was, but because of the impact of the ancient Huangyanjiang river. It was a plain with smooth land and fertile land. The reason why he chose it was that it used to be a resting place for the two armies of the badminton army and the benlei army when they went down to the south. There was a temporary military camp that was abandoned for several miles. Ye Zhiqiu wanted to borrow it. That military camp attracted the attention of the herd, so as to win himself precious rest time.

Just when the animal tide on the south bank chased Ye Zhiqiu and others, most of the animal tide crossing Danshui gathered a little in Jiguan mountain and ran towards Zhennan pass in the north, facing the rising sun, which had just risen, but didn't feel the slightest warmth. Whether it's the road tamped before or the field full of withered branches and withered grass, it's like being ploughed again, leaving a scene of chaos. The Yellow rammed earth and black earth turned up proved the quantity and strength of animal tide.

When the animal tide just left Jiguan mountain, the news was sent to Longpan mountain by scouts who followed the herd far away.

"Lu que, the tide of animals has gone north. What are we going to do now?" After reading the news with Lu que, Gu Qingcheng asked.

"What does sister Qingcheng think?" Lu que handed the information to Mo Yingxing who came from Huju mountain and asked.

"I don't think we can face the beast tide and golden winged Mirs alone with the strength of zhennanguan. Although the two armies of gale and tiger roar haven't arrived yet, we can also contain the beast tide slightly and release the pressure on zhennanguan." Gu Qingcheng thought and said.

"No way." Without waiting for Lu que to speak, Mo Yingxing, who read the news of the animal tide going north in a hurry, shook his head and said, "in the case of not having enough superior troops, no matter how many troops are sent to face the animal tide in the wilderness, they will be torn to pieces by the herd, which is just like sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

"We can send Qingqi, such as Fengxiang yunqi." Gu Qingcheng turns to Mo Yingxing and retorts.

"Sister Qingcheng, there are not only golden winged Mirs in the animal tide, but also strange beasts and fierce beasts in the earth level. If there is a fierce beast in the earth level, Fengxiang yunqi does not have the absolute speed advantage." Lu que shook his head and said.

"Then we can only watch and wait here? Is this the mastermind of Marshal Lu? " As soon as Lu Que's voice fell, a man pushed the door and came in. It was Yu Chuxin, the princess of Tianyang. Yesterday in Shicheng, she saw the beasts devoured by the fire. She also saw the momentum of the beasts rushing through the sea of fire. She also saw the golden winged Mirs that she could not even compare with.

Last night, she didn't sleep all night. She kept thinking about the terrible consequences of breaking Zhennan pass. So she came to the Shuai mansion early in the morning to find Lu que. She knew that Lu que was the only one who could solve the crisis. But Yu Chuxin didn't expect that she heard several people's conversation just after walking to the door. The meaning of Lu Que's words was very obvious. Before the eighth younger brother Zhongyang Wang led the army to arrive, Lu que doesn't plan to send troops to support zhennanguan.

"I've seen Princess Tianyang."

"I've met Lu Shuai."

Several people after the ceremony, looking at his aunt Yu Chuxin that some unswerving face, Lu can not help but frown. He naturally refers to what she is worried about, which is not what he is worried about, but now he can't move, because even if he now presses the evergreen army, it is just a consumption of some of the strength of the animal tide, which does not help the overall situation.

At present, there are 300000 thunder troops and left and right Zhuo guards in zhennanguan. Although it can't be said to be safe, it is enough for Lu que. Moreover, what he said to Shen Zhang about holding on for a month was just a function word. After the animal tide yesterday, he had already sent a letter to Zhongyang king. If he had not miscalculated, the two armies of gale and Huxiao would surely arrive here within 20 days, and that was the time to send troops. But he could not explain these words to his aunt, because he knew that for Yu Chuxin, who was anxious about the war in zhennanguan, it was useless even if he said it.

Thinking of this, Lu que looks at Yu Chuxin and says, "since Princess Tianyang says so, what can your highness do?"

As soon as Lu Que's words are finished, Mo Yingxing and Gu Qingcheng take a look at Lu que, while Yu Chuxin picks his eyebrows. Although Lu Que's words are superficial, they can all recognize the displeasure and impoliteness between the words.

"You are the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang. It's your duty to share your worries for the country. How do you ask me?" Yu Chuxin looks up at Lu que with fierce eyes.

Lu qiaohui looked at Yu Chuxin and said, "since your highness knows that I am the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, and does not have the imperial edict of your majesty to replace me, and does not have the responsibility to supervise the army, you should know that the cause of Southern Xinjiang is decided by the commander-in-chief's words. This battle is all my own. Please don't take over the responsibility."

Yu Chuxin is shocked to feel that Lu que is not angry. She doesn't know how much pressure Lu que is under when he is not his age. But now the animal tide is going north to Zhennan, and the country is in turmoil. As a Royal Princess, she can't be indifferent. She did not come here today to question Lu que. She just wanted to get a result from him that would make her feel at ease.

"I took the liberty." Yu Chuxin took a deep breath, regained his momentum, found a chair, sat down and said, "can Lu Shuai hold out the layout in his heart, or let me feel at ease?"

"Aunt, it's a military event, and it's not the time yet. I'm afraid I can't tell you." Lu Que's tone of voice also loosened, but he still shook his head.

"All right." Yu Chuxin sighed, stood up and said, "then don't disturb several people to discuss countermeasures, but if there is anything I need to do, Lu Shuai can tell everyone, and I won't stand by."

Looking at Yu Chuxin who leaves slowly, Lu que, Gu Qingcheng and Mo Yingxing are all in silence. They all don't know what to say. They all know that the first half of her life was spent in exile. During this period, she built a dark Huang that made many people feel scared. But they didn't expect that she had such deep feelings for Da Qian. This kind of spirit and feelings, let them have to praise.

"Mr. Mo, Master Yu has already left?" After a long time, Lu que asked.

Mo Yingxing nodded and said, "I left last night, and I should have arrived at zhennanguan. But when Master Yu left, he was worried about the safety here. Is Lu Shuai really OK?"

"The animal tide will not return until it breaks Zhennan pass. Even if it does, it's just a small group of animals. Instead of letting the fishing master stay here, it's better to let her go to Zhennan pass. I can rest assured that she and yunshou are here." Lu xiaolue thought a little and said.

Just when Lu que talked about yuxiayi, the patriarch of jiuyaoxing sect had already come to zhennanguan. She was like a clever swallow. With a little help from the city wall, she boarded the tall and despairing zhennanguan city.

"Xiayi, aren't you guarding Lu que? How did you get here?" Yunshu, who just recognized the figure of yuxiayi and ordered the city not to shoot arrows, quickly walked to yuxiayi and asked strangely.

"Yunshouzun, it's too late to elaborate. Where is Shen Shuai? The beast tide is coming soon. A mountain shaking bear is leading the beast tide forward."

"What?" Yunshu smell speech a surprised, to busy said "go, I take you past."
