Chapter 52 Burning the Lamp
I'm A Dou
Chapter 52 Lighting the Lamp
Thinking of sir, I suddenly thought of something. We were invisible in the cave, and the enemy was unable to attack, but if Jiang Wei and others came and found that the city was broken and thought I was dead, the blow to the soldiers would be extremely huge. With Meng Jian's wisdom, if he did not use this to make great efforts, he would have seen a ghost.
But how do you inform them that I am still alive?
Send people to break into the formation? First, there are no such powerful generals in the army, and second, the enemy surrounds us. If we want to rush out, our momentum will be better than climbing to the sky.
When the carrier pigeons are released, the army can move at any time, and the carrier pigeons cannot transmit messages at all.
Oh my, I'm really stupid?
I called Zhao Zheng and others to come, and everyone discussed it together. But after thinking about it, but after thinking about it, there was no result. I couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if Mr. Kong Ming was here." After finishing my words, I felt a flash in my heart: "If you have it, you can use Kongming lantern!"
"Kongming Lantern? What is that?"
Kongming lantern was a communication tool invented by Mr. Shu when he was in Sichuan. I and Jiang Wei and others had seen it. They used thin bamboo as a stand and made of thin paper. If they were burned with candles, they could ascend to the sky.
Now there is no thin bamboo or thin paper in the army. What should I do? I asked someone to take the arrows brought from the Eighth Formation, and asked Zhao Zheng to cut off the arrow feathers and split them into thin strips. I took off my cloak and tore the inside of Shu Jin, and actually solved the problem.
Not long after, the enemy began to pour smoke in. The soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave bent down, and the water wet the battle robe to cover their noses. Although the cave was ventilated, the smoke at the entrance of the cave was still very thick. Many people were choked and coughed. The smoke contained a spicy aura. I don’t know what was put inside, but it was definitely not chili. There was no such thing in this era.
This kind of smoke filling lasted about half an hour. While the smoke was in the hole, nails were ringing above the tunnel. I knew that the enemy was planning to dig more and larger holes so that we could not be careful. Fortunately, the underground river secret passage was deep enough, and it was mainly stones. The enemy lacked necessary equipment, so it could not be dug for the time being.
After the smoke was over, the enemy began to test the people. This time we waited for a while, and after seventy or eighty, we suddenly cut off the enemy's retreat and made dumplings. At this moment, the enemy no longer dared to send people down, and was unwilling to stop. Therefore, they set up many ambushes on it, shouting and squealing, and pouring water on whatever they didn't come out, and sealed the hole with big stones, etc. We ignored him and just hid it in the hole without making a sound.
It was already night in a blink of an eye, and the sentry resting on the empty urn suddenly said, "Young master, there are soldiers coming twenty miles away."
I nodded: "Continue to explore."
It was the reinforcements that finally arrived. I pondered, but instead felt an unreality. In this dark underground river, the shining light moved the reflected figures. I came to the entrance of the cave again and heard a loud shout from outside: "Attack overnight! There are not many of them anymore, they want to see people alive and to see corpses when they die!"
Immediately afterwards, countless torches were thrown into the entrance of the cave, burning wildly, illuminating the four walls. We were so scared that we were rushing down. As we retreated, the enemy had already rushed down. The people who came down this time were all covered with white scarves, naked arms, and giant swords, looking at them with the firelight, they all looked like evil spirits. They were all good players who chose one of the hundreds. It seemed that they were the death squads selected by Meng Jian.
The impact of this team was indeed extremely strong. Even the Eight Formation Map was forced back by them. The soldiers rushed forward, and blood splattered everywhere in a blink of an eye, and a big hole was blown open. I couldn't help but be furious, pulled out the sword, threw it to Zhao Zheng, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Zheng! Take the personal guard to block the entrance of the cave! Whoever retreats will be killed immediately!"
Zhao Zheng took the sword in his hand and shouted: "Yes!" He also pulled off the battle robe on his shoulder and rushed forward. The guards beside him were all imitating, and frankly threw themselves into the battlefield.
Zhao Zheng raised my long sword. When he encountered the enemy's sword, he cut off the enemy's weapons. He couldn't help but feel shocked and rushed forward with a scream. My sword was created for me by Pu Yuan, the world's number one sword-making master. It's not comparable to ordinary weapons.
Hesse and others were rushed back by a powerful enemy. When they saw me angry, they couldn't help feeling guilty. They carried their weapons and rushed forward, but were stopped by me: "You eight, don't go first, there will be something useful to you later."
Hei Sei fell in front of me and said hard: "Young Master, I am defeated and I die. I cannot look down on me."
I nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you are cruel enough, no one will look down on you. This time, I want you to rush out of the hole. Do you have the courage?"
Hesse excitedly said, "Of course there are."
I waved my hand and the remaining guards gathered together, took a drum, and said, "I will beat you drums, rush out of the hole in one breath, and disperse the enemy. Only when the Kongming lantern is fully released can it be returned. Can't you do it?"
The people of Hessey said: "Can do it!"
"Very good, we will kill everyone in one fell swoop! Let's go!"
I waved my arms and whipped the giant drum. The dull drum sound echoed in the cave. The figures of the soldiers rushed towards the entrance of the cave with a lightning torch. They immediately shouted and shouted as if they were thunder.
I slammed the giant drum hard and looked at the entrance of the cave with three incense sticks. Zhao Zheng brought his people back. When he went there, more than 200 people, and less than 80 people came back. The wound on Zhao Zheng's arm burst out again. I looked around: "Has the eight people from Hesse ever returned?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "This kid is so angry that he has killed him. He has to say that the nine Kongming lanterns have not been put into heaven, so he will not be considered completing the Young Master's mission."
I said anxiously: "Why is it so rigid? It's good to have a cup in the chaos and see it outside. Let him come back quickly."
Zhao Zheng turned around and smiled, "How? Come in quickly, Hesse."
Hessai and others turned out in the shadows. I was shocked. The eight formations were broken, and only the three remained, as if they were rolling out of blood. Hesai's body was broken, and there were countless wounds. When he thought that he was given to me by Mr. Kong Ming, but he was so injured, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Heihan knelt down, and he still had the emotionless and hard Chinese words: "Young master, I will be defeated, I will die, I can't look down on me!"
I never expected that the momentary failure would trigger such a strong reaction from him. I held my back and helped him up with both hands: "You are a warrior, no one will look down on you! You are the loyal and brave minister of the great man!"
Hesse smiled and fainted as he thrust his body.
I shouted: "Come on the doctor!"
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound was rumbling at the entrance of the cave. It was the enemy who gave up the attack and sealed the cave with a huge stone.
Looking at the huge rocks, everyone was stunned, but I burst into laughter.
Meng Jian finally gave up his attack on me, which means that he was defeated! He was defeated!
"Everyone rest!" I shouted, "I'm ready to go out tomorrow morning and give the enemy a final blow!"
When I saw Guan Ping, the next morning, he looked gray, his eyes were swollen, his hair and beard were curled, and there was a wound on his neck. When the first reinforcements who entered the city heard our screams and dug us out, I saw Guan Ping first.
When I asked about the origin of the wound on my neck, I was shocked. It turned out that when we put the Kongming lantern last night, it was when he met Meng Jian. He mistakenly got Meng Jian's plan and thought I was dead and almost committed suicide and left me. If I hadn't seen the Kongming lantern flying into the sky and knew that I was still alive, I was afraid I would not have seen him yet.
Together, defeating a master like Meng Jian, the brothers will meet again. It turns out that all the grievances towards him have turned into nothing. I held his hand and called his words: "Brother Tanzhi, brother, we finally meet again."
Guan Ping said: "Guan Ping is incompetent and almost killed the young master. Please punish him."
I smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Our brothers join forces and fight for a while. Over the past few days, I have been able to bear enough of Meng Jian's bird energy!"
When Guan Ping was stunned when he heard that I was uttering dirty words, he burst into laughter.
