Seventy-seven meeting GL

"This mountain is not very high. There are willow trees everywhere on the mountain, and some of them are hundreds of years old." Leading a horse in the forest, the old guide explained one by one. Branches, see the blue sky.Not far away, a group of perched birds suddenly flew up in fright, singing and echoing in the sky.

"Crack, click..." In my ears, the voices of assault soldiers cutting through thorns and thorns with machetes.

"When we were young, there was a riot in Tianlang, and countless people died of starvation. At that time, the willow bark and willow leaves on this mountain saved many lives. Since then, the people in the mountain area have taken care of this place. The mountain is called Liuhuang Mountain, and it is said that this mountain has spiritual energy! Every spring, people in our village will bring the younger generation of the family to plant willow trees here!" Walking slowly up the mountain along the barely visible path, the old man said with a smile.

"We hunters live by hunting, and God rewards us with food. We have a sense of awe in everything." The old man pointed the way and chatted with Lang Yinshi.

"The old man is right." Lang Yinshi nodded upon hearing this, her leg injury was not fully healed, and she was holding a bamboo pole in her hand to relieve the pain caused by climbing. "Living in this mountain, working hard to manage the family, being self-sufficient, looking up to the sky, and bowing down to others, you can be regarded as standing upright."

The old man smiled and said, "The general is used to the daily life in the city. If you get tired of it one day, you can come to our mountain to sit. Although the food is simple, the taste of the mountain will always be much fresher."

"There will be such a day!" Lang Yinshi also laughed.

In the afternoon of that day, the team stationed at Liuhuang Mountain.

The chief engineer who was in charge of overhauling the plank road came back from exploring the road, listed out the reconstruction plan, and handed it over to Lang Yinshi for review.Except for the necessary wood, ropes and pickaxes, their tools are very simple. Even if more than a hundred people are mobilized, it will take more than ten days to repair the plank road.

"However, we are in the middle of the mountainous area in the middle of the country. People outside can't figure out what is real and what is real about us, so they don't dare to break into the mountain at will. Everyone can rest assured to build plank roads." Lang Yinshi explained.

Looking at the soldiers who were setting up tents and preparing to spend the night, he heaved a sigh of relief and planned to rest for a while.

the next afternoon

"Report—general! More than [-] soldiers from Zhongzhou were found hundreds of miles away. According to their marching route, they are coming straight to Liuhuang Mountain!" Ye Mei rushed up from the foot of the mountain and reported.

"What?" Master Luo, who was directing everyone to set up the stove, couldn't help but put down the things in hand, and said with surprise on his face. "How is this possible? Are you reading that right?"

"You can't be wrong, Master Luo!" Ye Mei nodded, "We were also very surprised, so we came back to report as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Han and Lu Yuan gathered from all around. "what happened?"

Lang Yin Shiban leaned against a tree, her dark eyes shot out a compelling light, she stood up slowly, with a dignified expression, "It's so strange, based on what I know about Li Sitong, he definitely doesn't dare to step into the broken room easily. Soul Valley."

"What's more, he doesn't know where we are in the mountain at all, so how could he drive straight in and come straight to Liuhuang Mountain?"

Even if Lang Yinshi is as good at predicting things as he is, he still can't figure it out at the moment, how could Li Sitong know their whereabouts like the palm of his hand?Could it be that they still have some strange skills to escape armor?

"Could it be that there are traitors in the army?" Master Luo has led troops for many years and has rich experience, he imagined.

Just because everyone was at a loss, Lan Xi came back from the back mountain with a team of cooks holding firewood, and dismissed the cooks. She approached the crowd with an uneasy face.

"Just now, someone from Vice General Hu's unit reported that two soldiers had been missing for several days. After all, it was the day we decided to march to Liuhuang Mountain. I was very worried that these two soldiers would defect to the Zhongzhou Army."

"Bastard! That makes sense!" Lu Yuan scolded, "It's probably because they leaked our secret in Liuhuangshan!"

Hu Han was also blushing with anger when he heard the words, "The scum of the Yinzi Army! A piece of mouse droppings ruined a pot of porridge! I guessed who it was, and they shouldn't be spared at that time!"

"Don't worry, while there is still time, everyone should find a way." Lang Yinshi comforted.

Ye Mei couldn't help but reminded, "The people who come here have a clear goal and are traveling very fast. They will definitely arrive at the foot of the mountain before noon tomorrow. There is only one road under the Liuhuang Mountain. Even if our army withdraws now, we will run into them head-on. It's really bad!"

"How about speeding up the construction of the plank road?" Hu Han said. "We have 6000 people, the number is not dominant, but using the terrain, I am confident that we can withstand their three-day attack. If the plank road can be completed within three days..."

"Impossible." Lu Yuan, who was in charge of the construction of the plank road, frowned. "I have communicated with the supervisor. Even if I don't sleep at night, it will never be completed in seven days. The plank road is suspended in the air, and it is too difficult to repair it!"

"What should I do?!" Everyone was a little discouraged. "Aren't we going to be trapped here to death?"

Lang Yinshi thought for a while silently, "Don't be anxious. I have an idea. When Li Sitong's men arrive tomorrow, I will send people down the mountain to talk with him and see if it can be delayed for a few days. If it can be repaired on the plank road , we can feign a shot and evacuate first.”

"Good idea!" Everyone became happy again after hearing the words, "Sure enough, there is a general here, so there is no need to worry about everything!" Lu Yuan said, "I'll go and urge the urgent repair of the plank road!"

"Then I will continue to patrol!" Hu Han also signaled.

"En." Lang Yinshi nodded. "Let's all go."

On the evening of the next day, at the top of Liuhuang Mountain

The Zhongzhou Army had already occupied the foot of Liuhuang Mountain. Lang Yinshi climbed to the northwest side of the mountain in the afternoon, and he could see the camp of the Zhongzhou Army at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

She inspected the circle carefully, and found that Zhongzhou soldiers were surrounding Liuhuang Mountain from three directions. Their deployment idea was not new, but it was enough to deal with such an ordinary mountain as Liuhuang Mountain.

Lang Yinshi sighed, if he hadn't been betrayed, even if he was fighting guerrilla warfare, he would never have chosen a place like Liuhuang Mountain.Liuhuang Mountain is not big and the mountains are not high, so it can't exert any military advantages.

Back at the camp, a group of people were already waiting outside the tent, Ye Mei was the first to come back with news of the Zhongzhou Army.

Lang Yinshi led the crowd into the tent. "It's cold, come in and talk."

"General, I have sent someone to deliver your request for peace talks." Ye Mei respectfully followed in, with a difficult expression on his face, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak. "The letter was delivered to Master Li Sitong, but the situation is quite different from what we expected."

Ye Mei hesitated, as if she had no confidence, the more she spoke, the lower her voice became.

"The Zhongzhou Army reported that they refused to negotiate peace with us and asked you to come down the mountain...to surrender."

"Surrender?!" Everyone was angry when they heard the words, and all of them were furious. "Dream?!"

"Let him finish." Lang Yinshi frowned and said calmly.

"...They said that they only give you three days. If you don't take the initiative to go down the mountain after three days, they will..." Ye Mei paused as she spoke, her head drooping and she didn't say a word.

"That's it?" Lang Yinshi slightly raised his eyebrows, sat down in the tent, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Everyone stared at Ye Mei intently, waiting for his crucial sentence.

"...they're going to set fire to the mountain!

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the entire tent heard bad news, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

"General..." Lu Yuan couldn't help calling out. "Set fire to the mountain, this trick is too vicious! They want to force us to die on this mountain!"

"We are now surrounded on three sides. Only the south side is surrounded by cliffs. The plank road is scattered and there is no time to build it. If they set fire to the mountain, we really have nowhere to go. We can't fly over!"

"Hey, if I knew it earlier, I should never have gone south from Dingzhou... This time, I have come to a dead end!"

"Which way do you think is easy to go? The entire central region has been laid down by King Xuan, where can you escape?!" Hu Han retorted angrily, and he glared at Lu Yuandao angrily, "You Lu San is afraid, afraid of death I'm tired and afraid of trouble, so I know how to talk about frustration, can you think of a way?!"

"Isn't this just thinking..." Lu Yuan muttered dejectedly, "But how could I figure it out?!"

Lord Luo sat in the corner and sighed sadly when he heard the words, "We are born from the same root, so why rush each other!!"

Master Luo saw Tianlang's situation and felt pain in his heart.As an elder, he can only watch Lang Kangzhe and Lang Yinshi turn their faces into enemies, his eyes turn red with anxiety, and they fight to the death, but there is nothing they can do.

In this power struggle for supremacy, he couldn't accuse anyone of being wrong.

"Bah, the wolf-hearted King Xuan!!" Lu Yuan scolded. "What a hypocrite!"

"Shut up! What's the use of saying this now?" Hu Han said anxiously.

"Can't I just cry and complain? You can solve the problem by being so stubborn?" Lu Yuan was not to be outdone.

"All right, all right, stop arguing!" Lang Yinshi finally couldn't stand the noise of these two people and told them to shut up.

She said, got up and put on her cloak, and went out of the tent.

"General! Are you...?" Lan Xi followed closely behind, picked up the cane and handed it to her. "Your injury has not healed. You have been climbing the mountain for the past two days. Didn't your leg injury just get worse? Why do you want to go out again?"

Lang Yinshi smiled lightly, his expression was neither desperate nor relaxed, "I'll go out for a walk, and think of a solution by the way."

Lang Yinshi wandered around the top of Liuhuang Mountain all night.A sleepless night.

No one knew where Lang Yinshi went, only that he probably went to some extremely remote places.

At the fourth watch, he suddenly returned to the tent, with an extremely calm expression, and asked Lanxi to fetch hot water, and slowly soaked his two legs that had been worn out to the point of bleeding and were numb to the point of unconsciousness.

After the fifth watch, the sky was getting brighter.He could hear the noise outside the tent, and Lang Yin released the tent, only to see hundreds of soldiers of the Yin Zi army gathered outside the tent, every young and honest face was full of anxiety and fear.

"General, we have followed you all the way from the border to today. We have suffered through all kinds of storms and waves. I never expected to be trapped to death on such a small hill. General, they said that you are going to surrender. Is it true? ? You have to give us an explanation!" A soldier shouted at Lang Yinshi from afar.

"Yes, General, our wives and children are still waiting for us at home! We finally came back from the border, we don't want to die here..."

"General, our dry rations won't last for three to five days. If we continue like this, we will starve to death! If we stay on the mountain, we will only die?!"

"Since the plank road is hopeless, why don't we go down the mountain and fight with them?!" Someone suggested impulsively.

"Are you stupid? They have 5 people, how many of us? Fighting with them is not equivalent to death!" Another person retorted.

The soldiers quarreled for a while, and no one was convinced. It's just that everyone's words were full of self-abandonment, panic and irritability under extreme anxiety. I don't know what to do impulsively.

Looking at the faces eager to get answers, Lang Yinshi's heart was full of complicated feelings.

She hesitated for a while, then spoke.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Her voice was gentle and calm, with determination in her calm, and naturally possessed the power to penetrate people's hearts.

"...how many people here have stayed in the border for two years?" Lang Yinshi looked at everyone's faces carefully and asked suddenly.

Most people raised their hands.

"How many people have followed me since the establishment of Yinzi Army?"

Some people raised their hands sparsely.

"Very good." Lang Yinshi nodded. "Since everyone is a veteran, do you still remember the battles we experienced?"

"From the port city to the sealing of the castle, from the raid of the war wolf, to the decisive battle at the city of Nidi... until the capture of the Twelve Towns of the Black Flag, the team returned to the capital."

"Everyone, do you know how hard it is for us to come to this day? From the border to the capital, and from the capital, all the way south to here, to climb this Liuhuang Mountain."

"We have traveled thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles! Many people have never left the village where they were born in their entire lives, but what about us? We have traveled a distance that most people can't cover in their entire lives!"

"At the same time, how many soldiers, comrades, fathers and sons, brothers... never came back from the border?"

"Over the years, each of us has been used to seeing death. Some people are alive in the morning, but turned into cold bones at night. Some people have made great military exploits, stepped through life and death in the morning, entered the Tianzitang in the evening, and have enjoyed high officials. Houlu, I don’t know the misery in the world..."

"There are more people, those who rise and fall one day, countless!"

"There has never been a day like this. We are so close to our dreams. As long as we set foot on the southern land, we will become the saviors of Tianlang! Rescue the people from the turmoil day after day!"

"There has never been a day like this. We are more desperate than today, because we have no way to retreat, because we are facing a cliff of Baizhang behind us!"

"If what you want is for your wives and children to warm up on the kang, I'm sorry, I can't give you these today. You can go down the mountain by yourself, and I allow you to leave!"

"And if what you want is not just a humble life like an ant, but a life as gorgeous as the morning glow and as magnificent as the sunset! Even if it may be short-lived! Then I will tell you that Liuhuangshan will never It is our end point. In a short time, our team will be like the sun, rising day after day, illuminating the entire sky! Your names will be heard throughout the mainland of Kyushu and all over the world. They will Together with countless great names, it will be recorded in history!"

"This is my unchangeable destiny as Prince Tianlang, and this is my destiny to lead you to fight against fate forever! Because glory is fleeting, but mediocrity lasts a lifetime!"

"Stuck in such a situation, trapped on Liuhuang Mountain, maybe you think this is our answer."

"But let me tell you, I will never be reconciled to this answer." Lang Yinshi said majesticly, "I want to tell you, I, Lang Yinshi, will never give up, and I will never surrender. All of you, leave the central mountains safely! And each of you will see this very clearly in the end!"

After Lang Yinshi finished speaking, he turned and left the crowd, and led Lu Yuan and Hu Han out of the camp where he was stationed.

The author has something to say:

This chapter has been written for a long time, because I always think, how to express the despair of the people and the courage of the general?Let's arrange the plot like this for now.

Lang Yinshi has already figured out a way out of the desperate situation, have you figured it out yet?

Give everyone a little hint, the way to escape, and pay tribute to "Spartacus", which I like very much.

In addition, "Glory is fleeting, but mediocrity lasts a lifetime" is a famous saying of Napoleon, and I specially arranged for Lang Yinshi to say it.
