Early in the morning, a faint mist pervaded between heaven and earth.
Two figures leaped out of the city and disappeared into the mist in the distance.
It didn't take long before the two of them arrived near a mound of dirt. Who would believe that this was a mountain that was hundreds of meters high just a day ago?
However, all of this was gone now.
Looking at the current situation, they could still recall the scene of the landslide last night.
"There's no one and no traces left behind. It seems like Yu Yang and the rest are really buried underground." After carefully searching the west side for a while, one of them sighed slightly.
"Previously, I underestimated Yu Yang. I didn't expect him to have such an unyielding side," the other person said.
"Although Yu Yang has become one with the earth, he has done a great deed for all living beings in Tianjing Basin. In the future, we should set up a memorial for him."
"I wonder what the casualties of those barbarians are like!"
"This time, the collapse was more severe than expected. Other than Qi Zixiao, Xi Wanya, and a few other experts, the soldiers from the Protectorate of the South and the winged cavalry had no chance of escaping. The so-called 'unable to escape even if they had wings' is what they faced at that time. "
"Be careful. Let's go to the top of the mountain and take a look."
The two of them reached the top of the mountain in a flash. The traces left behind by the landslide here were much more serious than on the other side.
This was because the mountain had collapsed towards this side.
The valley between the two mountains had been completely filled up.
As for the forest on the south side of the mountain, half of it had been submerged by the mud.
Further south, there was a large campsite. It was as if nothing had happened. The patrolling soldiers, smoke rising from kitchen chimneys, and soldiers busy with all kinds of things. It was a peaceful scene.
Although the landslides and the fissures were very close to them, they were separated by the forest into two different worlds.
One world was tattered and full of holes, while the other world was as if nothing had happened.
The two of them widened their eyes in an instant.
Why was the other party's campsite still there?
Why did it seem as if nothing had happened?
Why? Why?
The two of them couldn't figure it out.
"Perhaps it was the winged cavalry that passed through yesterday? After all, the winged cavalry is our greatest enemy. With just the Protectorate of the South, there's no way we can contend against an army of 300,000 rebels, "one of them said hesitantly.
Everyone had hoped that the barbarians would suffer heavy losses from the landslide, but judging from the current camp, the number of soldiers walking in the camp, and the amount of smoke coming from the kitchen, it did not seem to be the case.
There must be an important reason why Yu Yang would suddenly cut down the Heavenly Crystal and cause the entire mountain to collapse. In that case, it could only be because of the few barbarians, the famous winged cavalry.
"Even if the winged cavalry had passed through yesterday, they would have been completely annihilated. It's really strange that these barbarians didn't react at all."
"I've long heard that these barbarians believe that after they die, their souls will return to the mountains and watch over and protect their descendants with their ancestors. Therefore, they viewed life and death as a normal matter and were not afraid of it at all. From the looks of it, that is indeed the case. "
"He's just a barbarian." The other person snorted heavily.
"Just in case, it's better to test it out."
"Qi Zixiao must still be there, as well as Xi Wanya. I'm afraid we won't be able to get away with it."
The two of them looked at the camp in the distance and felt hesitant.
At this moment, a baihu from the Rearguard Commandery saw the two of them with binoculars. After reporting, a group of burly men wearing leather armor jumped out of the tent and ran towards the two of them.
Upon seeing this group of people, the two of them first observed for a while. Then, their expressions changed drastically. These people were obviously the winged cavalry that Yu Yang had buried at the foot of the mountain!
"What … What's going on?"
"I'm afraid that something big has happened. Let's go back quickly."
The two of them looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. Why exactly did Yu Yang cut down the Heavenly Crystal yesterday?
A moment later, everyone gathered in Xueyang City.
"Do you mean that those barbarians didn't suffer any losses at all?" Xie Kun and the other two had ugly expressions on their faces.
Last night, everyone was still in high spirits. They didn't expect to hear the worst news after just one night.
"Even if they did, the damage was very small," the two of them said. "The two of us saw that the camp was very calm and had some doubts before, but after seeing those winged cavalry, we no longer had any doubts."
"Then Mr. Yu Yang …"
"I'm afraid that something unforeseen has happened that we don't know about."
"I think I know what's going on." The man surnamed Ning from the Yun Nation had an ugly expression on his face for a while, but he gradually calmed down.
"Mr. Ning?" Xie Kun looked at him with a probing gaze.
"Although I don't know the reason, Senior Yu Yang must have been discovered. That's why the Heavenly Crystal was suddenly cut off, but those barbarians didn't suffer any losses.
The sounds in the cave can't be heard from outside. Unless someone discovered that the mountain was empty and then discovered the problem. Regardless of whether those barbarians discovered it by chance or if there was an expert among them, you don't have to think too much about it.
Fortunately, we still have a backup plan in case of accidents. This time, we will definitely make sure that they won't be able to return, "Mr. Ning said confidently.
"Now that the Wang Estuary has collapsed and the mountain road has been completely buried, I'm afraid it will take them two days to pass through. Now, please send a general to lead an army to the hill in the north and set up camp there. Make it seem like they are going to meet them at the river bank.
When they see this army, they definitely won't think too much about whether there is a problem or not. Given the barbarians' temperament, if they see someone blocking their way, and the number of soldiers is about the same as theirs, and the water is not wide, they will definitely cut wood to make boats and send their army across the river to attack.
At that time, we will open the river and let the water rush down. Except for the hill, everything else will be swept into the water. Naturally, most of those barbarians will become food for the fish and shrimp in the river. "
Hearing Mr. Ning's words, everyone calmed down.
"What if they discover that the water level has decreased and have suspicions?" someone asked.
"If those barbarians could think that much, then they wouldn't be barbarians. And no matter what, they will have to cross the river. Do you think they will go upstream to take a look? Even if they discover it, they will just open the river in advance, "someone said with a smile. Everyone nodded.
Indeed, even if this plan failed, there would be no loss. If it succeeded, then the harvest would be huge. However, everyone still felt that it would be difficult for the barbarians to discover that the water level had decreased and the river had become narrower.
The only loss would be the crops in the north of the city. However, no one cared about those crops at this time.
"Thanks to Mr. Ning's strategizing and planning, even though those barbarians managed to escape once, they definitely won't be able to escape this time." Xie Kun smiled as he stroked his beard.
"A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support! Those barbarians are the enemies of you, me, the Yun Nation, the Chen Nation, and everyone in Great Xia, "the youth surnamed Ning said with a smile.
"Well said, Mr. Ning." Xie Kun laughed heartily.
Soon after, the city was mobilized. An army of about 15,000 people left the city and headed for a hill in the north. They set up camp there and waited for the aboriginals to arrive.
