The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"It's still unclear what happened in the northwest mountains, and the general has also sent word that no support is allowed. This is a military order!"

In short, Wu Yu would never agree to Qi Yu going into the mountains alone.

In fact, there was one thing he would not say to Qi Yu, which was that before the war, the general had instructed him to protect Qi Yu at all costs.

So, he could only stay in the barracks.

"Come here! Now that the general is away, I am in control of the entire camp. Bring Qi Zilin into the tent. No one is allowed to let him out without my order!"

Soon, guards came over and carried Qi Yu.

"Wu Yu!"

Qi Yu gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Duan Zhan can't die either!"

"I know, but the general also said that he would save your life even if it meant death!"

Wu Yu endured the severe pain and turned his head away helplessly, not looking into his eyes. He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and regret it.

"Qi Zilin, obey military orders."

"I've heard of the Northwest Mountains. It's Beiling's last line of defense, the easiest place to defend and the hardest to attack. Zhao Li has actually gotten into trouble, so Duan Zhan is just courting death. They must be in danger, so they won't allow us to support them. So we can't abandon them!"

Qi Yu struggled, trying to persuade Wu Yu, "That's our general. The ones following him are our comrades. If we don't rescue them, they'll just die! Soldiers, are we going to watch our former companions die behind us?"

Of course not.

The entire camp was dead silent.

Even Wu Yu fell silent.

"If Zhao Li can't get out of the mountain with a hundred thousand soldiers, how can Duan Zhan break the impasse with a thousand men?" While the soldiers were stunned, Qi Yu broke free, came to Wu Yu, took off his armor and put it on himself.

"But can you turn the situation around by just going there? You're alone!" Wu Yu argued with him, not allowing him to act impulsively.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance, followed by an earthquake.

"It's the Northwest Mountains!"

A soldier pointed to a place in the distance where thick smoke was rising.

"It exploded, it actually exploded?"

The entire snow-capped mountain was now filled with thick smoke, and many birds spread their wings and flew away. Even the birds had escaped, so what about the people trapped inside?

There is gunpowder in Beiling!

Zhao Li's 100,000 men and Duan Zhan's 5,000 elite soldiers, could it be that they are all...

Qi Yu didn't dare to think about it. He looked at Wu Yu coldly, as if he had made up his mind to risk his life. "Yes! I will go alone. If I succeed, I will bring back the general and the soldiers. If I can't..."

"No failure!"

Wu Yu stretched his neck and roared, his voice breaking.

He had promised the general that he would protect Qi Yudi.

But the general cannot die either.

"Qi Yu, we cannot fail. We must bring the general back safely!"

Seeing that Wu Yu was finally moved, Qi Yu placed his palm heavily on his shoulder.

"General Wu is still needed at the camp, and on the battlefield ahead! Leave Duan Zhan to me."

Yes, he is alone, and the soldiers don’t have to die in vain. Whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, or a den of dragons and tigers, he will go through it alone!

"Qi Yu... come back alive!"

Seeing Qi Yu get on his horse, Wu Yu finally caught up with him.

Although he was a rough man, he almost cried because of his reluctance and helplessness.

"Leave Beiling to me! Don't worry, I'll definitely take Beiling down in five days at most! But..."

"No buts! General Wu, the camp is now in your hands!"

He didn't make any promises to Wu Yu because Qi Yu didn't believe he could do it.

But he will try his best.

The warhorse galloped away, with Qi Yu's brave back as the only figure.

Wu Yu watched him leave, his blood burning to the extreme.

"Come on, soldiers, follow me and kill all the enemy troops in Beiling, kill—"

Qi Yu rode on his horse, not daring to stop for a moment. The strong wind was whistling past, and all he could see before his eyes was the scene of the snow mountain explosion.

The mountain did not slide, perhaps because the force was not strong enough, but it was a mountain, and no mortal body could stop it.

"Duan Zhan, wait for me."

"Soldiers, wait for me!"

The whip hit the horse's back, and the horse felt pain and galloped even harder.

Nearly.

The mountains are within sight.

Without waiting for the horse to stop, Qi Yufei dismounted and quickly slipped into the mountains like a dragon.

In the middle of the mountain, Duan Zhan excitedly looked at Zhao Li and the others in the valley. At that moment, it was as if happiness was embodied. The soldiers he brought with him had not sacrificed in vain; he had found the person.

"Zhao Li?"

"General?"

"General!"

The moment Zhao Li and others who were trapped in the valley saw Duan Zhan, they all stood up excitedly.

Zhao Li, the leader, had a bloody arm, and was obviously seriously injured.

"How did you get stuck here?"

Duan Zhan looked at everyone. There were clearly more than 100,000 people, but now there were only a few thousand.

Although the huge valley is a shelter where one can hide, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out.

Just as they had found this valley and were about to take shelter inside, an explosion suddenly erupted behind them. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, their bodies blown away, and the remaining ones were forced to remain in this valley.

When they vaguely heard the sound, they thought it was the enemy, but when they got closer they found that it was their own people.

"General, how did you find this place?" Zhao Li was also very excited. He finally got the reinforcements, but when he saw only a few hundred people behind him, he suddenly felt disappointed.

"I learned you needed support, so I rushed here with five thousand elite soldiers. However, this mountain range is too strange, and we lost many soldiers along the way." Duan Zhan's expression darkened, noticing Zhao Li's disappointment. "I have even worse news to tell you. I have prevented the camp from sending reinforcements."

"what?"

Some soldiers instinctively raised questions.

Some people fell to the ground in grief,

But soon, everyone reacted.

This is an execution point. The more people come, the more people will die here.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t come to support us, at least the remaining people can live well.

"The general shouldn't have come either."

Zhao Li said in a deep voice, observing him carefully. He found that he was not seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to blame himself: "It is my poor leadership that has trapped everyone here. I hope the general will punish me."

Duan Zhan immediately helped Zhao Li, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

He had probably guessed the situation on the way here. "No wonder you're not doing this well. It's your first time leading an army, so it's already very good. It's just that the Beiling people are too cunning."

The northwest was originally to be handed over to Wu Yu. He didn't even dare to think about what kind of casualties would occur if Wu Yu was trapped here because of his impulsive personality.

“How many of us are there now?”

Zhao Li said sadly: "Less than 20,000."

Twenty thousand people are trapped in this valley. Why can't they get out?

Zhao Li pointed to a place not far away and said, "General, that's where the explosives were sent out just now. Although there are no Beiling people around here, as long as anyone enters or leaves there, the explosives will be set off. And that's the only exit from the valley."

In other words, if you want to go out, you have to bear the risk of being blown to death.

"We have been trapped here for a day and a night. We also thought about breaking out, but..." Zhao Li stopped talking.

But no one wanted to die there, so they thought that maybe support would come.

"Is there any surplus food and water?" Duan Zhan asked.

Zhao Li shook his head again with guilt, "It's been less than a day."

In other words, if they could not escape from here within three days, they would either be killed in battle by the Beiling people or die of starvation, freezing or thirst in these mountains.
