"General! General Chen Ji has arrived in Xia Yang and counterattacked the Hu people." A scout hurriedly ran into Yan De's tent.

Now Yan De has led the army into Xia Yang territory, but the soldiers are a little tired due to the long-term attack.

Yan De asked the soldiers to set up camp and rest for one night.

At this time, Yan De no longer had the need to hide, because from the time Chen Ji appeared in Xia Yang.

As long as Xiao Huan was not stupid, he should have known that Qin's reinforcements had arrived.

Since there is no need to hide, then defeat them openly and head-on.

The Wu Clan's rattan armor and bravery are Yan De's greatest courage in facing Xiao Huan head-on.

Now that he heard that Chen Ji was leading his army to counterattack Xiao Huan today, Yan De knew that Xia Yang's crisis had been resolved. What he needed to consider now was how to eliminate the invading enemy.

Although Tenghua led his troops to Liyang, Liyang had been burned.

It would take at least ten days to rebuild simple defense measures. Adding in the time required to get from Bayu to Liyang, I would need at least fifteen days for Teng Hua.

So the question becomes, what do I need to do to buy Teng Hua half a month?

But no matter what, don’t think about a quick victory.

"Come here, pass the order, the army will break out of camp! Slowly approach Xia Yang!" Finally, Yan De thought for a long time and felt that he should rush to Xia Yang to camp as soon as possible.

In this way, whether it is attacking, defending, or pursuing, the initiative will be in your own hands.

Following Yan De's order, the Wu Clan's army quickly took action.

At this time, in the mountains leading from Bayu to Liyang, there was an army of Wu tribe, marching very fast.

"Hurry! Hurry up! The sooner we arrive at Liyang, the sooner we can set up defenses!" Teng Hua, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, shouted loudly on a huge rock.

The surrounding Wu Clan soldiers were all panting heavily and marching quickly with their heads down.

Although they are soldiers of the Wu tribe, they live in the mountains and forests all year round.

But such an intense march in the mountains was a bit too much for them.

However, they still persisted because of their obsession.

"Brothers! Wait until you arrive in Liyang, build a good defense, and defeat the barbarians, then have a good rest! I'll treat you all to a drink!" Teng Hua knew that at this time, the soldiers were gritting their teeth and persisting. All he needed to do was to constantly boost morale.

.

"Clan leader! This can't go on like this. The clan members are all too tired." A captain of the Wu clan said to Teng Hua.

"Why don't I know?" Teng Hua shook his head.

"But if we don't do this, we won't have time to stop the barbarians." Teng Hua shook his head and said.

"Chief, I know a shortcut that can reach Liyang two days in advance." The captain said.

"What, two days in advance?" Teng Hua was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, patriarch, I have been to Liyang once before with Ah Da, and we took that path. But..." The captain hesitated a little.

"But what? Tell me quickly! If we can really arrive in Liyang two days in advance, I will give you the best result!" Teng Hua said excitedly.

"Don't dare!" the captain said quickly.

"Although the small road can reach Liyang two days in advance, the road is difficult to travel, and there are still some cliffs. If only a few people take the small road, it is still possible.

But, with so many of us, it might be a little difficult to take the small road," the captain said.

Hearing the captain's words, Teng Hua frowned.

"Although the path is difficult, what we are competing with the barbarians now is time! If it really works, I will take credit for your success!" Teng Hua thought about it again and again and decided to give it a try.

However, as the captain said, small roads are difficult to travel, and it is unrealistic for a hundred thousand troops to take small roads.

Thinking of this, Tenghua directly divided the team into two groups.

One group, with 90,000 troops, continued on the main road to Liyang.

In addition, Teng Hua personally took more than ten thousand elites, took a small road, and rushed to Liyang as soon as possible to sort out the situation first.

Just do it as soon as you think of it, and Teng Hua immediately takes the elite first.

Only when Teng Hua actually set foot on the trail did he know what the captain meant when he said it was difficult.

There is indeed a road, but only one person can pass it.

One side is a cliff and the other side is a cliff.

However, now that we have come this far, there is absolutely no reason to look back.

Teng Hua gritted his teeth and stepped directly onto the path.

Teng Hua carefully clung to the mountain wall and walked forward slowly.

The soldiers behind him followed suit and followed Teng Hua up.

It wasn't until an hour later that they passed the cliff, and the road ahead became slightly wider.

Tenghua immediately ordered his soldiers to speed up.

One day later, Teng Hua climbed up a hill, and he could already see Liyang City in the distance more clearly.

However, a cliff stood in front of him.

In fact, it cannot be regarded as a cliff, because it can be seen that there was a gentle slope before and it was passable.

But it is possible that due to heavy rain or flash floods, the road collapsed and turned into a steep slope of more than 60 degrees.

"This..." The captain who suggested taking the small road was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He never expected that it would turn out like this.

It's obviously impassable here.

"Clan leader, this..."

"This is none of your business." Teng Hua shook his head.

He knew that the tribesman could not be blamed for this incident. No one could have expected that things would turn out like this.

"Otherwise, we should go back and find another way out." The captain suggested.

Tenghua didn't say anything, but took two steps forward and looked at the steep slope.

This steep slope is 60 degrees in total and is filled with small gravel and soil. It is obvious that a flash flood broke out and washed away the road.

However, this gave Tenghua a chance!

Due to flash floods, the soil has accumulated, but the texture is soft. If someone is really not afraid of death and just rolls down the hillside, he can reach Liyang in half a day.

"Fight!" Teng Hua roared in his heart. The most important thing now is time! He didn't have time to spend another three days and take a detour.

Teng Hua slowly turned his head and looked at the tribesmen who were following him on the path.

"Brothers, everyone should know our current situation."

"We don't have time to take another detour. We must prepare for defense before the barbarians arrive."

"So, I'm ready to give it a try! Go down from here!" As he said that, Tenghua pointed at the steep slope behind him.

"Although I know this is a life-or-death mission, I still want to give it a try!"

"If we can go down from here, we can arrive in Liyang two days earlier. We can better defend ourselves!"

"But, I will not force you to join me! You are both old and young. You are all the pillars of the family. So, I leave the choice to you!"

"I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain!"

As he spoke, Teng Hua ignored the obstruction of others and lay flat on the ground with his arms folded in front of his chest.

Then he turned to the side with all his strength and rolled down the mountain.

Fortunately, the rattan armor he wore was soft and could provide cushioning.

Fortunately, the steep slope is not long, only about two to three hundred meters, and you can reach the foot of the mountain.

However, even so, the impact of the rolling made Teng Hua extremely uncomfortable. The rocks kept hitting his body, making him grin in pain.

Also, it was constantly spinning, making it difficult for him to distinguish between north, south, east, and west. He only felt dizzy.

"Chief!" the tribesmen on the top of the mountain shouted.

Soon, Teng Hua stopped and lay on the ground, trying to get used to it as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
