The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 538
In the rift valley at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed and fled westward.

Such a huge movement was immediately detected by Hengshan cavalry scouts, and immediately galloped forward to report it.

"Okay, the time has come." Murong Tan stood up excitedly, got on his horse, and said to the three generals beside him, "Everyone, let's line up here and see for ourselves this unforgettable grand sight."

"Haha, I can't wait." Chen Rui couldn't help but gear up and laughed.

Although Yan Shu and Kun Mujia didn't speak, they were very excited at the moment, staring fixedly at the valley ahead.

Not long after, I heard a rumbling loud noise coming from the valley, as if a huge flood was gushing.

"Light it up!" Murong Tan shouted in a deep voice.

At this time, Linley was already standing under the cliff in front of him. On his right hand side, there was a long rope extending to the mountain wall tens of meters above.

After hearing the order, Linley immediately ignited the rope soaked in kerosene. As soon as the flame touched the rope, it immediately ignited and continued to spread upwards.

Linley immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the army formation.At this time, in the valley to the east, a cavalry rumbled over. When they saw the Hengshan army in the west, not only were they not surprised, but they urged their horses to charge them.

But at this time, the Hengshan cavalry remained motionless, and everyone looked up at the fire on the cliff.

Just when the khanate cavalry entered the narrow valley between the cliffs, they heard a fierce roar in the sky, louder than thunder.The Khanate cavalry looked up involuntarily, and saw that the sky was dark at some point, and before they could react, a large amount of earth and rock fell rumbling down.In just an instant, nearly a thousand companies and horses in front were buried alive.

The huge impact of the cliff collapse was far more than that. Countless earth and rocks scattered in all directions and smashed into the cavalry.

When the roar stopped and the flying dust cleared away, what fell into the eyes of the coalition forces was a pile of accumulations as high as 30 meters, which tightly sealed off this valley.

The huge roar can be heard for tens of miles, especially in this narrow valley. ,

"What's going on in front?" Dennis' face darkened as he comforted the frightened mount.At this moment, he had a bad premonition in his heart. "Quick, quickly send someone to check!"

But after a while, I saw a group of cavalry in a panic rushing over, knelt down in front of Dennis, and cried, "General, we are finished, the road ahead is blocked."

"What?" Dennis' face turned pale immediately, he got off his horse immediately, grabbed it, and shouted angrily, "Say, why did you get blocked?"

"General, it's the cavalry in the rear. They blew up the cliff at the mouth of the gorge."

"Pfft!" Dennis felt that his whole body was on the verge of falling, and his chest was filled with tightness. He couldn't help but open his mouth, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"General, general, what's the matter with you?" Seeing this, the guards rushed over one after another, asking eagerly.

Dennis waved his hand. After the mouthful of blood just now, he felt a lot more comfortable. He wiped the blood from his mouth vigorously, and said with a forced smile, "I'm fine, you guys, hurry up and find General Wumeng, I have something to discuss with him." .”

After waving the crowd away, Dennis sat on the side, his face was ashen, and his eyes were fixed on the land in front of him.

After a while, Wu Meng hurried over, saw Dennis sitting beside him, and immediately rushed over, "General Dennis, what do you want from me?"

"General Wumeng, did you hear a loud noise in front of you just now?" Dennis raised his head and showed an ugly smile.

"I heard that, I was about to come to inquire, but I didn't expect that you had already sent someone to look for me." Wumeng nodded, and asked urgently, "Now the soldiers in the rear are terrified, tell me, what happened in the front What happened?"

"Hehe, we've been tricked." Dennis smiled wryly, "The Hengshan Army sent a cavalry to harass us, and they actually came here. They blocked a section of the canyon, and we couldn't get out. gone."

"What? The road is blocked, then, aren't we trapped here?" Wu Meng's face turned pale and he trembled all over. "General Dennis, what shall we do now?"

Dennis closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The road ahead is blocked. If we want to dig through, it is impossible without a few hours. But do we have that time? No, at present we only have two options, one , gather the whole army, counterattack the Hengshan Army, and fight to the death with them."

"A battle to the death?" Wumeng's eyes suddenly burst into light, "Yes, we still have 40 soldiers and horses, and our strength is far higher than that of the Hengshan Army. Now that we are in a desperate situation, it may boost the morale of the soldiers."

Dennis smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The opponent has a lot of artillery, and in this canyon area, our army can only deploy a few thousand troops. As long as the opponent sticks to the ground, the artillery can Attack, how should our army respond?"

"This?" Wumeng had nothing to say immediately, "Since this option doesn't work, what about the second option?"

"Well, the second option is to surrender." Dennis said with difficulty, showing a hint of pain.

"What, surrender?" Wu Meng stared straight at his eyes. This sentence was even more shocking than knowing that the road was blocked before. "You, are you crazy? We have an army of 40, surrender? If we surrender, not only will we become sinners of the country, but even the whole family will be implicated?"

"It's come to this point, do we have a choice?" Dennis looked directly at Wumeng with red eyes, "Is our reputation and family important, or the lives of these 40 soldiers? General Wumeng, we Not to mention those civilian soldiers, there are thousands of noble children in the army alone, involving the interests of hundreds of families. If they die here, will these families let our family go?"

Hearing this, Wu Meng couldn't help but tremble all over. Yes, civilians can ignore it, but if something happens to the noble children who have entered the army for training, they and their family will not escape the fate of being attacked and framed.

"General Dennis, if, if we surrender, will the Hengshan Army accept it?" Wu Meng asked worriedly.

"They will." Dennis turned his head to look east, "They planned such a plan, isn't it just to keep us here."

"This, why is this?" Wumeng's political acumen was not enough at all, and he couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.

"General Wumeng, do you know the situation that the Hengshan Army is facing today?" Dennis sneered, "They are actually having a hard time now. The Golden Werewolf went south to fight the Hengshan Army when we attacked Tianjiguan. What they want to do most now is to send troops from here to the Western Regions to repel the Golden Werewolves. And we are their bargaining chips. As long as we are captured, they can use the 40 troops to negotiate with you and my two countries. With us in hand, our two countries dare not send troops easily. The best outcome is that our two countries sign a peace treaty with them, and as a condition, our 10 people can be released and go home."

"Go home?" Wumeng's eyes lit up when he heard the word, and then he showed worry, "It's good if we can go home. But you and I advocate surrender. Once we go back, wouldn't it be... .”

"General Wumeng, don't worry, after you and I go back this time, not only are you innocent, but you have merit." Dennis smiled slightly, "Think about it, we not only saved the entire army, but also saved the lives of the children of the nobles. Safety, with these 10 people begging for mercy, how could our lord kill us and chill the hearts of all the soldiers?"

"That's good, that's good." Hearing this, Wu Meng felt relieved.

Immediately, the two began to discuss surrender matters.Not long after, Wu Meng got up to say goodbye, and returned to his own army to deploy.

Looking at the back of Wumeng going away, Dennis smiled faintly, "Wumeng, don't blame me, with the temper of your lord..."
