Ximen Hao didn't react for a moment and didn't understand what Qin Xiao meant. He nodded and said: "Yes, if we calculate the distance, the distance from the barren mountain to the barracks will not exceed sixty miles."
Qin Xiao looked at the triangle he drew, thoughtfully.
Qin Xiao and Ximen Hao were pointing and drawing on the ground, and Wu Qingtage naturally noticed them.
For some reason, in a desperate situation, Tage had no choice but to place her hope on others, but felt that if a miracle really happened, she could only rely on Qin Xiao. This was the first time she saw Qin Xiao, and she even
Qin Xiao's true identity is not known, but Qin Xiao's attitude of dealing with it calmly despite being in a desperate situation makes Tage very admired in his heart.
Because the Liaodong Army violated their oath that year, both Ta Ge from the Zhen Yu tribe died in battle. This made Ta Ge unforgettable, and he even had a certain hostility towards the Tang people in his heart. If Qin Xiao hadn't stepped forward in times of crisis today,
After helping him save three female Eagle Guards, Tag still would not show off to a Tang Dynasty person.
Qin Xiao was both intelligent and courageous. Tag saw this and felt that this young man was different from ordinary Tang people. Although he did not have much favorable impressions of this Tang man, he did not feel any hostility towards him.
"What is this?" Tag came over and squatted down next to Qin Xiao, looking at the triangle on the ground with some confusion.
"Look for reinforcements." Qin Xiao said simply.
Tag was startled: "Reinforcements?"
"Uncle, you are relatively familiar with the grassland. In your opinion, if this is...!" Qin Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed at the wolf cavalry barracks marked by himself, and asked: "If this is a barracks, then they
Where is the barracks roughly located? Are there any landmarks nearby?"
Ximen Hao thought for a while and said: "In my memory, there should be a lake in this area, but I can't remember the name...!" He looked at Wuqing Tag and asked for advice: "Tagh,
Is there such a lake dozens of miles northwest from the company headquarters?"
"You mean Hanmo Lake?" Tag immediately said: "Yes, there is such a lake that does not belong to any tribe. Everyone can draw water from Hanmo Lake. Many surrounding tribes rely on this water source to survive.
"
Ximen Hao said: "That's right. If they want to station a barracks, they must choose a place with very convenient water sources. The bank of Hanmo Lake is the best place to camp."
Naturally, Wuqingtage didn't know that Duer's army was recruiting troops from various tribes to prepare to attack the Shihun tribe in the north, so he asked suspiciously: "What is the barracks you are talking about?"
Qin Xiao did not hide anything, and informed Tagg of the presence of Duer's Wolf Cavalry in this area, and then said: "They have a camp dozens of miles northwest of the company headquarters, and they should not be evacuated in a short time.
"
"Tiehan wants to attack Shihun?" Wu Qingtage was a little surprised and frowned: "It seems that Tiehan really wants to be the master of the entire desert. The strength of Shihun in the Monan Grassland is second only to Duer.
There are hundreds of thousands of tribes in the Hu tribe. If Tie Han really conquers Shihun, then the entire Monan will become Tie Han's world, and even the road to Mobei will be opened...!
"I feel worried when I think that if Duer's army unites Monan, it is very likely that they will turn their guns and point their troops directly at the Modong prairie. If this is the case, the situation of the Zhenyu tribe will be extremely dangerous.
Qin Xiao saw Tag's sad face and knew what she was worried about, and said: "Tag, we don't have the energy to care so much now. The top priority is to solve our own predicament."
Tag frowned and said, "I don't understand."
"There are a total of eighteen people on the mountain now. The road is blocked. If there are no reinforcements, we will all die here in two or three days." Qin Xiao raised his hand and pointed down the mountain and said: "Look at their posture.
They are clearly planning to trap us in the mountains. If we don't die here, they won't withdraw their troops. You also said before that in winter, there are few people around the barren mountains. If we wait like this, we will just sit and wait for death. No reinforcements will come to our rescue."
Tag looked at the triangle and seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "Are you planning to ask for help from the Duer Husbands?"
"These more than a hundred cavalry are all skilled in bows and horses, brave and good at fighting. Even if they ask for help from some small tribes, they will never dare to get involved." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Except for you, those who have the strength and courage to come to rescue the siege.
I'm afraid the only one left in the True Feather Department is this Duer Wolf Cavalry." He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "But we don't know what the current situation is in the True Feather Department. In case Captain Zuo
Having already taken the opportunity to control the situation, Tagge would be throwing himself into a trap if he asks for help from the east at this time."
Ximen Haoshang didn't know about the drastic changes that had taken place in the Zhenyu tribe, and he couldn't understand. However, Tagge looked solemn and shook his head: "You don't know the situation of the grassland tribes, and your thinking is too simple. The Wolf Cavalry will not send reinforcements, even if it is true.
Even if reinforcements come, they won't let us go, they are even more hateful than those people at the bottom of the mountain."
"I understand what you mean." Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said: "If the wolf cavalry knew your identity, they would definitely not let you go. But in the current situation, these masked cavalry want your life, but if you fall into
In the hands of the wolf cavalry, your identity can at least guarantee that they will not kill you. We still have to talk." After a pause, he stared into Tag's eyes and said softly: "But I will not let you fall into the hands of the wolf cavalry. You
Do you believe me?"
Tag looked at Qin Xiao's clear and sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what you want to do, just...!" He glanced at the edge of the cliff and smiled bitterly: "What do you think we are?
Can you go down the mountain to find reinforcements?"
Qin Xiao just smiled slightly and asked: "Tage, do you know the location of Hanmo Lake?"
"I know." Tag nodded and said, "Hanmo Lake is more than fifty miles away from the barren mountains, so it's not that far away."
Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's very good. Tag, take a good rest first and recuperate your energy. Whether everyone can be saved depends on you."
Tag was a little confused, not knowing what Qin Xiao wanted, but seeing him smiling and looking confident, he felt a little at ease.
Everyone stayed up all night on the top of the mountain, and they all couldn't bear it. Fortunately, after daybreak, the wind gradually subsided, and overlooking the earth, it was completely white.
The masked cavalry were guarding the bottom of the mountain. Just in case, guards were deployed all around under the top of the mountain. However, they were afraid of Lu Xiaolou's sharp arrows, so they stayed far away and did not dare to get too close.
All the horses were gathered together, and someone was responsible for guarding them. The wolf cavalry formed a group at the foot of the mountain and ate the dry food they brought with them. These people were well prepared, not only bringing dry food, but also water bottles for food and drink.
Worry-free.
The masked man was obviously not in the mood to negotiate with Tag again. He had already forced Wuqing Tag and his group to the top of the mountain and blocked the way out. There was no need to attack. As long as they surrounded them tightly, Tag and the others would all be dead in less than two days.
On the mountain, since this is the case, naturally there will be no need to waste words.
The sky was blue and the earth was vast. Qin Xiao walked around the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. Sure enough, it was a vast expanse of sky. Not to mention the human figure, not even a dog could be seen. This barren mountain was truly barren. In winter,
There weren't any traces nearby.
After the masked cavalry had eaten the food, someone went over to feed the horses, but there was an ugly-looking horse that stayed alone at the foot of the mountain, enduring loneliness.
That's Lion Cong.
After Qin Xiao and others rode up the mountain, all the horses were left at the foot of the mountain. Almost all of the more than twenty horses were taken by the masked cavalry as trophies for their own use, and they were also driven to the horse group. On the contrary, the lion Cong was ugly.
It was pushed aside and left to fend for itself.
Qin Xiao and Lu Xiaolou each had a lion horse. However, when they were attacked by masked cavalry, Qin Xiao did not have time to find his own horse and directly snatched the masked cavalry's horse. His lion horse was still left in the camp.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaolou rode a lion and retreated to the foot of the barren mountain. Although he was reluctant to leave, the horse could not climb the mountain, so he had to leave it behind.
The lone lion at the moment was driven far away by the masked cavalry. It stayed alone at the foot of the mountain and did not leave. These cavalry were all prairie people. There are inevitably some abandoned lions on the grassland, left to fend for themselves.
No one took a second look.
Of course they didn't know that this lion Cong was the fruit of Qin Ji's more than ten years of hard work. It was ugly in appearance, but it was indeed a rare BMW.
Everyone endured another whole day on the mountain. After dark, the cold hit again. Many people doubted whether they could survive the night. Qin Xiao saw that it was getting late, so he clapped his hands and called for everyone to gather around, waiting for everyone to gather.
He came over and said softly: "I know that everyone is in a difficult situation now, but don't give up. I will ask for reinforcements tonight. No matter what, you have to hold on until dawn. As long as you hold on until sunrise, everyone can
Live."
In fact, almost everyone present had given up and was waiting for death to come. Qin Xiao suddenly said these words. Everyone was surprised, but they all had a glimmer of hope, but when they thought about the reality, they instantly despaired.
"What are you going to do?" Tag asked.
Qin Xiao said softly: "I have observed that these cavalry are gathered at the foot of the mountain in the south. Although there are people guarding in other directions, there are only two people. After the night is quiet, their attention will be loose. I last night
Pay careful attention for a while, and in the middle of the night, they will not be able to hold on and will become drowsy." He raised his hand and pointed to the cliff to the west and explained: "The cliff over there is about five or six feet high from the ground.
, there are two guards watching from a distance, but after midnight, their attention will relax, and in the dark, they may not be able to see anything clearly with their sight."
"Are you planning to go down from there?" Tag frowned and said, "I've seen it. It's too high, and the mountain wall is sloping inward, making it difficult to get a foothold. Once you fall, you will be shattered to pieces. Unless you have wings to fly from the mountain.
Get down!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, looked around at everyone, and said softly: "I really don't have wings, but you can lend me a pair of wings." He actually lifted up his clothes, pointed to his belt, and asked: "Is your belt like this?"
