At this time, there were few real Benlu tribesmen in the entire tribe, and all they could see were Angel's soldiers.
Kang Ansheng stared blankly at the map on the table and the information in his hand, his expression a little numb.
There is the Blood Moon army in the west, and the fortress soldiers in the east are murderous. Both sides are not easy to mess with.
Caught in the middle, his soldiers were cold and hungry, and the food in stock was running out.
This is clearly a dead end.
If the cripples of Blood Moon had not been driven out a few days ago...
cough.
Dorje, the elder of the East, coughed.
"Deputy chief, haven't you noticed by now?"
He pointed at the two forces on the map heading towards Benlu.
"Rock Frontier Fortress and Blood Moon are clearly on the same side."
"On one side, they deliberately divided the prisoners into three or four batches and sent them back, boiling frogs in warm water, forcing us to hold our noses and accept them; on the other side, they intercepted and robbed grain trucks, slowly consuming the few grains and medicines in our hands, and burying the anger among our soldiers.
and the seeds of dissatisfaction.”
"Huo Ling won't go into details. Xueyue Zhiyong can be said to be ruthless."
"The 20,000 tribesmen who had their hand and foot veins picked out have already become trash in his eyes and can be abandoned at any time. But for the sake of the tribe's ambition and influence, Xueyue Zhiyong cannot do it openly and can only force him secretly.
Let’s drive those people away.”
Speaking of this, Duoji smiled bitterly.
"If we don't drive them away, everyone will die after eating up the food and medicine, and our subordinates will dislike us; if we drive them away, you will see what happens to the subordinates."
"Xueyue Zhiyong just took the opportunity to attack."
"We have hard times to debate. It can be said that no matter what decision we make, this battle is almost inevitable."
It's a pity that neither of them figured it out at the beginning and jumped into this pit of fire stupidly.
well.
Why is Kang Ansheng not clear?
But when people are desperate, they always have some whims, imagining whether the situation would be better if they had made another decision.
Now that his fantasy is shattered, he can only return to reality.
"Duoji," he looked longingly at Elder Dong, whom he trusted most, "What should we do now?"
"What should I do?" Elder Dong sighed, "I really didn't expect that Wang Ting would do nothing..."
He forced himself to take back his random thoughts.
"The area surrounding Benlu is unobstructed and unobstructed. Leaving it trapped will definitely lead to a dead end. We have no choice but to leave."
Kang Ansheng nodded.
Just walking, where should I go?
"First go straight to the north, and then turn to the west." Duoji pointed to the north. "There are several food teams from the tribes in the north rushing here. As long as we find them, at least we will have something to eat."
North?
Kang Ansheng's eyes fell on the north edge of the map, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Since childhood, the people of Xiliang have heard rumors that the north is extremely cold and barren of grass. Especially near the No Return Desert, it is simply a purgatory on earth.
The most important thing is that Angel, as a large tribe, never bothers to care about remote areas, so no one knows the situation in the north.
For example, where is the water source, where is the tribe...
If there is no food, the worst is to kill war horses to satisfy hunger, but if there is no water source, then it is to cry every day.
As for the food delivery team coming from my hometown, it's easy to deal with them.
However, in the vast grassland, with no guidance from both sides, it is not easy to meet by chance.
It's just like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"So we must send people back as soon as possible and let the clan leader arrange the route of the food delivery team so that we can meet accurately on the way." Elder Dong said.
Kang Ansheng smiled bitterly, "That's all it can do."
However, if 50,000 people were heading north together, they would naturally not be able to hide it from Blood Moon's scouts.
Once the route of Angel's food delivery team is fixed, it is very likely that Blood Moon will catch them head-on and kill them all.
But no matter what, it's better than staying here at Benlu and being attacked by Blood Moon and the Fortress.
winter.
Kang Ansheng punched the table in front of him hard.
"Let's go! Go north!"
————
There was a lot of commotion in Running Deer, but Gu Datou and others, who were dodging all the way eastward, were completely unaware of it.
Call.
He stopped his horse, looked up at the sky in the distance and looked at the map, feeling a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Lu Youtian came over.
"This place is almost to the south of Benlu and Lao Kailun. Logically speaking, there are no tribes, but..."
He pointed to the eagle in the sky ahead.
Lu Youtian understood immediately.
"Did you meet someone from Lao Kailun?" he guessed.
"Maybe." Gu Datou laughed and looked around, "Why are you thinking so much? Just find a mountain top to see what's going on."
After letting the soldiers rest and be on guard, the two climbed up a hill on the left.
Raise the telescope and look toward the east where the eagle is.
Huh!
The two of them exclaimed in surprise.
There were many people moving about thirty or forty miles ahead.
They were each busy, clearing wasteland and hoeing the land.
It looks like... opening up farmland!
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Opening up wasteland and farming is Yun Chui's specialty.
Even Ren Ning once asked Tiele to try to open fields and grow grain in the Kailun Stone Forest.
It's just that it's close to the Desert of No Return, and the sandy land is short of water and barren, so the effect of farming is obviously not very good.
But no matter what, some food was grown.
As for the present...
"He must be from Lao Kailun." Lu Youtian said.
"Absolutely." Gu Datou nodded in agreement.
Since they met an old friend, the two sent people over to make contact first.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the soldiers came back happily with three people.
Two of them were very familiar to them.
"Alan and Ximo?" Gu Datou was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, "Why are you here?"
He looked around, almost thinking he had lost his way, and wandered back to the Kailun Stone Forest.
Ha ha.
Seeing old friends in a foreign country.
Allen and Ximo were also very happy and quickly jumped off their horses to greet them.
"I've met Datou and Instructor Lu."
When they were in the stone forest in the north, the two of them had been working diligently as instructors for the Kailun tribe.
After the ceremony, they introduced the unfamiliar red-faced man next to them.
"This is Brother Canglang from Kailun, which means wolf in Xiliang dialect. He is mainly responsible for the situation here in Kailun."
Gu Datou and Gu Datou cheered and bowed their hands towards Canglang, exchanged a few words of greeting, and continued to ask Allen and the other why they were here.
"That's it." Allen could only explain the situation.
Snapped.
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Datou had already slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Well done to you two! Now the Angels in Running Deer are dead."
He eagerly looked to the north, "It seems that there will be a fierce battle near Benlu soon! Maybe the fortress will send people to join the battle."
"How about we..."
"Wait." Lu Youtian raised his hand to signal Gu Datou to calm down.
He rubbed his chin in thought.
"Angel killed 20,000 Blood Moon people. Unless Blood Moon Zhiyong no longer wants to be the clan leader, he will definitely react violently. As long as the Blood Moon army marches eastward, our fortress will definitely attack the grassland. There is no doubt about it.
.”
"The Battle of Dingxi has only passed not long ago, and the fortress has not yet recovered in terms of personnel or materials. It is estimated that the general's troops sent out to the grassland this time are more of a defensive nature."
"Of course," he laughed, "if a fighter plane comes, it's possible to take advantage of the chaos and rush in to kill them."
"As for us, we have to go north as soon as possible. But rather than going to join the battle, we would rather stop in the south and scare the enemies who are preparing to flee south."
In order to prevent the Angel people from coming here and extinguishing the little flame of old Kai Lun.
