Chapter seven hundred and eighty
September 21st, late at night, Songshan Pass.
The uncle and nephew of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King
The panic-in-the-pirate defenders were cheering and excited when they saw the reinforcements coming.
There are two thousand defenders at the critical pass, including one thousand King of the King of the Qihe tribe, four hundred King of the Qihe tribe, and two hundred each of the other three tribes. The guardian general of the critical pass is appointed by A Hui of the Qihe tribe, and the deputy general is Wuye of the King of the Qihe tribe.
Ah Huiteng is Ah Huichuan's cousin, a veteran over fifty years old. He is calm, wise, brave and good at fighting. He is deeply trusted by Ah Huizheng. However, because he is disabled and weak, he cannot take on the heavy responsibility of charging into battle, so Ah Huizheng stays behind to guard the Songshan Pass to ensure the safety of the retreat of the expedition army.
Reinforcements knocked on the gate late at night, Ah Huiteng and Wuye, the king of the sacred He, were overjoyed and went out to greet them in person. The two sides stopped greeting each other when they met. Mengba was worried and asked anxiously, "How is the battle situation of the ghost side?"
"The ghost party is still surrounded by the enemy and is temporarily safe."
As soon as this said, Lei and Mengba's uncle and nephew were relieved half of their hearts, secretly saying that as long as Guifangcheng is still there, there will be a glimmer of hope for the King of the King of the Suihe tribe.
"Where is the king? When will the main army withdraw?" Ah Huiteng was also anxious and asked urgently.
Lei hesitated for a moment, weighing how to answer, and then he heard that Mengba had already spoken first, "The king ordered us to return to the aid first. He slowly retreated with his main force and refused to give the Khitans a chance to counterattack, so as not to be held back by the Khitans and delay the return to the aid."
This is reasonable. The Xi tribe was an invader. Now he is voluntarily retreating. The Khitans naturally have to follow and chase after him and regain the lost territory. Once the Xi tribe retreats in a hurry, people are in panic and morale are depressed, which gives the Khitans an opportunity to take advantage of. The consequences can be imagined. Although the Luoma City is only four or five hundred miles away from the Songshan Pass, if the Xi tribe army wants to retreat safely under the pursuit of the Khitans, it will indeed take a certain amount of time.
Ah Huiteng believed it, and his heart was also overwhelmed.
What he was most worried about was that Ah Huizheng would not retreat. If the fallen city was about to conquer, the Xi army had already bitten the prey. At this time, Ah Hui was in a dilemma and he might indeed choose to continue attacking. In this way, Guifang City would be in danger and the King of the King of the Wushu tribe would be destroyed. The situation would inevitably be complicated and the variables would increase greatly. Once the King of the Wushu tribe believed that Ah Hui had betrayed them, deliberately sacrificed them, and wanted to use the enemy's hands to severely damage them to eliminate dissidents, the result would be to surrender. At such a critical moment, the sudden betrayal of the King of the Wushu tribe was equivalent to stabbing Ah Huizheng hard in the back. Not to mention that it was a fatal blow to Ah Hui, it was a fatal blow to the entire Xi tribe, and the consequences were immeasurable.
Lei sighed secretly. Mengba was determined to take revenge on Ah Huizheng and betray the alliance of the Five Xi tribes. He believed that this was the only way to save the King of the Xi tribe, and Lei was still hesitating. After all, the real identity of the enemy has not been clarified yet. If the enemy is a Turkic person, then it is probably to force Ah Huizheng to withdraw his troops. Ah Huizheng has withdrawn now. Then the danger of the destruction of Guifang and the King of the Xi tribe will be basically lifted, and there is no need to betray the Five Xi tribes alliance with Ah Hui.
It is just tearing apart and turning against each other. On the contrary, if the enemy is a white wolf and a large army of Zhongtu, we must also see how strong the White wolf is, how strong the Middle Earth supports Bailang, and whether it is worthy of the King of the Sui He tribe. We cannot be anxious, and we must not be blindly impulsive. After all, the King of the Sui He tribe is weak and cannot afford the price of wrong decisions. However, Mengba's determination has been made. The reason why he deliberately deceived Ah Huiteng was because his murderous intention had been moved and the arrow was on the string, and he was waiting to pull the mechanism.
"Have the Turks started to attack the key pass?" Mengba asked again.
Ah Huiteng and Wu Ye looked at each other with a solemn expression and a lot of worry.
"The enemy has already arrived at the city, but has not launched an attack for a long time." Ah Huiteng said this and looked at Mengba, saying with a pun, "We saw the forest horse thieves and the Middle-Turkish army, but we did not see the Turks from beginning to end."
"Central-Turkish Army?" Meng Ba pretended not to know and showed a shocked expression, "How is this possible?"
Lei had no choice but to pretend to be incredible, "Midland? Is the enemy Middle-earth? Is there a definite evidence?" Then he looked at Woye, "Are you sure you read it wrong?"
"We were also surprised and didn't believe it when we saw the Middle-earth army." Woye shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We immediately sent scouts to cross mountains and ridges to touch the Guifang City, and carefully investigated it. It turned out that all the troops attacking Guifang City were Middle-earth people, and our enemies were indeed Middle-earth people."
"When we first saw the Middle-Turkish army, we were also skeptical, worried that it was the Turkish trick. Although we urgently reported the king, we mainly called the police." Ah Huiteng said, "After that, we sent scouts to inquire from multiple parties, but because there were too many scouts from the enemy and too tight blockade, our scouts were difficult to operate, and it was not until today that we could send back the affirmative news."
"I received the order from the king before. I guess you will be able to rush back to the main pass tonight or tomorrow morning. The defense of the main pass is very strong, so we did not report the news today to the king, but planned to wait for you to make specific discussions before we make a little hesitation." Ah Huiteng continued, "The scout did not come back, and only this news came back, so the truth is greatly reduced, and I dare not report to the king again, so as not to make a misjudgment in anxiety that endanger the safety of the retreat."
Lei and Mengba looked at each other, in amazement. The scouts did not come back, and only this news came back. In fact, the scouts who went to the ghost to investigate were all alive and never saw the dead. The reason why the news was transmitted was because the scouts had their own transmission method, such as a confiscation site, where the scouts in front placed the message in the hiding place and then went to investigate. The scouts in the rear only needed to get the message at the hiding place, which greatly improved the exploration efficiency and transmission speed. However, generally, if there is a major news related to life and death, the scouts in front must return to ensure that the intelligence can be delivered in time and safely. The enemy is a Middle-earth, not the Turks, which is obviously a major news related to life and death. The scouts in front must personally deliver it to the key barrier, but now there are only news without scouts, so there are all possibilities for this consequence, and the authenticity of the intelligence will be greatly reduced.
This is why Ah Huiteng waited for them to arrive at the critical pass for specific discussion. To put it bluntly, if the enemy does not attack, we attack, as soon as both sides contact, the true identity of the enemy will be revealed. This is really an incredible thing. The two sides have been confronting each other for several days, but now they don’t even understand the true identity of the enemy. This is too absurd.
However, Lei and Meng did not express sarcasm. The task of Ah Huiteng and Woye was to guard the key pass of Songshan, which was to ensure the retreat of the five Xi tribes. Of course, it was impossible to take the initiative to attack the Guifang. It was normal for them to hide in the key pass and find out the true identity of the enemy.
What to do next? Four people looked at me, I looked at you, staring at you, staring at you, without saying a word.
"Tomorrow morning, we will come out of seclusion and make a tentative attack." Lei made a decisive decision.
Meng Ba sneered. Ah Huiteng and Woye had already made it clear. They only received the news and did not see the scout. In other words, the news may be fake. The Guifang may be being attacked by the enemy in a crazy way, and may even have fallen. Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the Guifang's situation, rather than sitting here and wasting time.
"I want to leave the customs." Mengba said without hesitation, "I want to leave the customs now, I want to go to Guifang."
Lei, Woye and Ah Huiteng all looked at Mengba in surprise, almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.
"You are looking for death!" Woye was furious, "How can you make a bloody way out of the enemy's blockade outside the pass? Even if you fight out, how can you reach the ghost side under the enemy's siege?"
Meng Ba sneered, "Why should I go out?"
Lei, Woye and Ah Huiteng looked at each other and suddenly realized. Mengba was not going to fight out, but to take the initiative to negotiate with the enemy as an envoy, so that he could immediately understand the enemy's reality. However, this danger was too great. He took advantage of his own risk and fell into the trap. If he didn't do it well, he would be a different person in his body and head, which was purely a gambling life.
"Don't you want to live?" Woye immediately stopped him, "No, you are not allowed to leave the customs."
Ah Huiteng was moved and saw the benefits of this plan. However, considering that Mengba was the son of Shi Jin and the current situation was the most unfavorable to the Wuxiu Wangyun, he was a member of the Qi Ge tribe. If he spoke up for it, he would be suspected of taking advantage of others' danger and taking advantage of the situation. Once the conflicts are intensified, it will be very unfavorable to the overall situation, so he wisely chose to remain silent.
Mengba was very calm, looking at Lei, waiting for his decision.
Lei weighed the weight and nodded slightly. Indeed, Mengba's decision was correct. At this moment, Mengba must actively seek the enemy as an envoy to negotiate and seize fleeting opportunities. If you are trapped in the key points, it is very likely that the chance of the Suihewang tribe will quietly pass away from your palms.
Mengba did have any worries about his life when he left the pass, but he did not imagine it seriously, because Mengba had the secret to save his life. If the enemy was a Turkic person and the purpose was to force the Xi tribe to withdraw his troops, then Mengba would take the mission and report it to the truth, and the crisis would be resolved immediately. On the contrary, if the Turkic persons were to take the opportunity to annex the Xi tribe, then the secrets that Mengba had could immediately bring a glimmer of life for the King of the King of the Hunhe. Similarly, if the enemy was a Middle-earth man and a White Wolf, then the purpose of the White Wolf would definitely be to defeat the King of the Xi tribe and recover Anzhou for Central Earth. The secrets that Mengba had could also bring a chance for the King of the Hunhe tribe.
"Get out of the pass immediately." Lei was very decisive, waved his hand and said with a pun, "In order to insult the Hewang tribe, he would be willing to break even if he was crushed."
Meng Ba understood it, bowed to Lei, and rushed into the pass by a horse.
