It was already bright, and the morning sunlight illuminated the surrounding area.
However, the haze in Xue Yue Ying Xiang's heart became even more intense.
He looked down at Roland's body on the ground.
This is not only the drum-holding elder of the Blood Moon tribe, but also the elder who grew up watching the Blood Moon Eagle soar.
At the beginning, the Prairie Royal Court made a promise to the Blood Moon Tribe.
Once Yunchui is captured, the main tribes like them will get the richest eastern part of Yunchui to settle their people.
However, the promise of the royal court is still far away, and many sons of the Blood Moon tribe have fallen on the way eastward.
He picked up the black arrow, raised his head and looked eastward deeply.
As long as there is resistance from the Yunchui people, Roland is not the first and will never be the last elder to fall on the way eastward.
"Go and find out the owner of this black arrow. Not to mention Yun Chui, this kind of arrow is one of the best in Xiliang. Let's see if you know who he is?"
"Yes!" The subordinate followed the order and left.
After a while.
Report!
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded.
"Young clan leader, all the clan members who were isolated in the Dragon Nest have been killed. All the supplies left behind have been taken by Yun Chui."
Blood Moon Eagle Soars doesn't even move his eyelids.
When Roland's body was returned, he knew that the people who were trapped in the dragon's nest twenty miles away were in serious danger.
"Have you found any trace of Yun Chui Ren?" His voice was very calm.
The soldier who reported back lowered his head in shame.
"Back to the Young Patriarch, the brothers have been working very hard to search. However... no obvious traces of the enemy have been found yet."
"Damn it!"
"cunning!"
The two captains of ten thousand and more than ten thousand captains nearby cursed in unison.
I don’t know who I was scolding.
"Young patriarch, what should we do now?"
"What can we do? The terrain here is narrow. If the Yunchui people launch an attack, the environment will be very unfavorable to us. We should move to Quelongpo first and then make plans."
Xueyue Yingxiang said nothing, but squatted down and covered Roland's body again.
Xiliang does not have the habit of returning fallen leaves to their roots and old people returning to their families.
He told his subordinates to choose a feng shui treasure nearby to bury this tribesman.
When he stood up again, Xue Yue Yingxiang raised his hand and pointed to the west: "Listen to my order, everyone retreats to the west for the time being."
The captain Wanfu and the captain Qian next to him both stared straight at Qing Qing.
"Young Patriarch," they said doubting their ears, "did you say something wrong just now?"
They received orders to open the post road to Laigu County by the end of May.
Time is running out now, and retreating westwards is going in the opposite direction.
"That's right," Blood Moon Yingxiang repeated: "Retreat to the west!"
Having dealt with Thunder Dragon for so long before, he was confident that he could defeat the Dingxi Bei garrison in front of him.
However, over the past two days, Yun Chuiren's combat capabilities have improved by leaps and bounds, and it is obvious that they have received extraordinary reinforcements or generals.
Every move they make now falls into each other's favor.
If you move back to the trapped dragon's nest now, you may just fall into the enemy's next trap. Only by temporarily going in the opposite direction can you disrupt Yun Chui's actions.
"I'll go talk to the supervisory army." Xue Yue Yingxiang said again: "You just take action."
"quick!"
The subordinates looked at each other in disbelief and tried to persuade them for a while. Seeing that Xue Yue Ying Xiang still insisted, they had no choice but to mobilize their troops and withdraw westward.
On the top of an unknown hill, the Brontosaurus campground.
From the thunder dragon down to the little soldiers, everyone was in joy.
Not only because I had a lot more food and clothing, I no longer had to go hungry; but also because I won the battle and let go of the depression that had accumulated in my stomach these days.
Thunder Dragon didn't know when he shaved his beard and took a shower, and his whole person looked very happy.
"Sir," he walked quickly to Ren Ning and asked respectfully: "What should we do next? Should we rush down the mountain and fight to the death with the Blood Moon people?"
Ren Ning smiled: "Are you guys so anxious?"
"Of course I'm anxious." Thunder Dragon punched the palm of his right hand, "I've been away from Dingxi for so long, and everyone wants to go back to their hometown as soon as possible. Or go to the Lord Commander's side to help."
He sighed: "I heard that the number of Xiliang people attacking the Yangguan Ancient Road was several times greater than here at Yilu. Mr. Xia is also short of food and clothing. I wonder how he is doing now."
Ren Ning nodded, "I understand what you are thinking. But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Everyone should resume training first. We will wait for Lei Er to send a message back for the specific situation."
Thunder Dragon let out a sigh and looked around, only to realize that Thunder Dragon was not in the tent.
"Brother Lei went to Sleeping Dragon's Nest again?" he asked.
Ren Ning nodded, "He will send the news back soon. If the situation is favorable to us, brothers will have a good fight with the Xiliang people."
Thunder Dragon perked up and felt a little embarrassed.
"This is really hard, Brother Lei Long."
Because he was worried about being approached by the Xiliang people, his camp was quite far away from the trapped dragon's nest, and it would take several hours to go back and forth.
Lei Er just came back yesterday. Now he has gone out to conduct reconnaissance for them and then has to rush back to deliver the news. It is really not easy.
Ren Ning smiled mysteriously, "It's okay, he can send messages thousands of miles away."
"Thousands of miles of sound transmission?" Thunder Dragon was a little confused.
Lei Erhui can send messages thousands of miles away.
He had been with Ren Ning for so long, and even participated in the channel between China Unicom Guangxin and Xingluo County, and had already learned the windmill communication method.
It's just a big windmill made of three wooden blocks. Anyone can build it easily.
As long as he finds a high point where he can see the trapped dragon's nest, he can send the news back at any time.
As for pinyin, Lei Er learned it early.
Early the next morning, Huang Ming received the news from Lei Er.
Not only did the Xiliang people fail to garrison in Quelongwo, but they withdrew to the west.
Ren Ning frowned, this was beyond his expectation.
"Huang Ming, let Lei Er carefully inspect the trapped dragon's nest and the place where the Blood Moon tribe was stationed yesterday to see if it is a trap."
Huang Ming responded, turned around and left the tent.
Not only did he not go down the mountain, but he went to the top.
As someone close to the town government, he also knows pinyin literacy.
Thunder Dragon looked puzzled: "What is Lao Huang doing? Could it be that he can spread rumors from thousands of miles away?"
Ren Ning laughed and did not explain.
In the afternoon, news about Lei Er came back again.
It was not a trap, the Xiliang people must have retreated.
"Impossible!" Thunder Dragon's eyes widened a bit as he read the words above, "How could brother Thunder Dragon send the news back so far away? It's absolutely impossible."
The most important thing is that he doesn't believe that the Blood Moon Man is really gone.
Thunder Dragon did not believe in evil, so he immediately sent a few soldiers to go to the trapped dragon's nest to investigate.
The next afternoon, these few soldiers returned to the camp out of breath and reported what they saw with their own eyes. Only then did the Brontosaurus have to marvel.
"Sir," he said to Ren Ning: "Since the Xiliang people are retreating, why don't we catch up?"
"Their mission is to clear this post road, and they will be back soon." Ren Ning replied without raising his head.
Then he clicked on the map and said, "Take someone here."
