Chapter 48 The Way to Escape

The Capricorn carefully checked the west side of the main peak of the eight-sided slope, and then he took his own soldiers to scout in both directions of the northeast. Naturally, the merchant sheep cavalry did not know about his whereabouts. The Capricorn is on the ground, and the merchant sheep cavalry is in the sky. Naturally, the Capricorn does not pay attention to the situation in the sky.

After inspecting the terrain, he took his own soldiers back to the tent. Then, he sent someone to find Hu Yanhun by his side again. As soon as Hu Yanhun entered the tent of the Capricorn, the Capricorn greeted Yanshou and sat down beside him. Then, he pointed to the map in front of him and said to Hu Yanzhi, "General Huyan, I went out to inspect the nearby terrain during the day. Now the original army has completely sealed off the entrance to the south. Our two northeast directions are the road to the north of the mountain. However, the steep slopes on both sides may not be conducive to us going down the mountain. In the west, the mountain has slowed down a lot. I just don't know where it will go down. Is there any way back to our camp in the north of the mountain?

Hu Yanhun listened to the words of the Capricorn, and he stared at the map. Finally, he shook his head, "General! With all due respect, according to my observation in the back camp on the top of the mountain these days. There is no road on the other three sides. If you go down from the top of the eight-sided slope to the northeast, there are still cliffs below, and then there is the road. I'm afraid it's not good for us! On the west side, when I first came to the neighborhood, I once caught the original person nearby and asked. They said that there was no way there, but if they walked forward with the trees, they could enter the mountain, and then they might return to the northern part of the mountain. It's just... I just heard them say that it's far away, and no one has passed by.

"Hmm." The Capricorn nodded meditately, "It seems that there is still a glimmer of vitality in the west." After saying this, he looked at Hu Yanhun with cold eyes, "General Huyan, if the original people continue to attack the mountain with long-range equipment these days, our fortress wall will certainly not be able to withstand their attack. I'm afraid that at a critical moment, we can only retreat from here."

"It's okay!" Hu Yanshi replied, "At that time, General, you go first!" I will take the soldiers to cover your retreat.

"Alas! I'm telling you that I don't want to run. Instead, I want to tell you that there is a way here!" He waved his hand and replied, "If our army reaches the last moment, let the remaining soldiers escape from here!"

"Yes, General." After listening to it, Hu Yanhun had to answer according to the order.

"Then tell this road to some officers in the army, so that they don't know that there is such a way to live." After saying that, he leaned against the chair and dazzled his eyes. Hu Yanhun originally wanted to ask if he would disturb the army if he told the officers now, but he looked at the appearance of the Capricorn. He swallowed his words again, and then he left the tent of the shackle and went out to convey the order of the shackle.

The next day, the attack of the original equipment remained the same. However, unlike the previous day, more original merchant sheep cavalry appeared on the orc camp on the eight slopes. They kept throwing javels from mid-air or shooting bows and arrows to attack the dodging orc soldiers.

The orc soldiers in the camp at the top of the mountain were attacked by the original long-range equipment and the merchant sheep cavalry. They hid all day long. This attack lasted for another day. On this day, he stayed in his tent, and he didn't go anywhere. Huyanhun is still guarding the original soldiers going up the mountain near the wall.

On this day, the orcs also gathered an army of more than 1,000 people on the passage of the eight-sided slope. They risked their lives to attack the original camp. Unfortunately, these orc soldiers who were determined to die finally got what they wanted, and they all died in front of the original camp.

In the next few days, the original army repeated the previous day's practice every day to attack the orc camp. And the orcs still stick to the camp and never fight. At the foot of the mountain, a small orc troops will gather and attack the original people. However, their result was defeated by the original person without exception.

After seven days of tossing between the two sides, less than 600 orc soldiers survived on the mountain. Although there is no shortage of food and drink in the orc camp at the top of the mountain, there is no medicine. Therefore, as long as the orc soldiers are injured in the attack of the original man, the only thing waiting for them is death. Under such circumstances, Hu Yanhun finally opened his mouth. He gathered the officers in the barracks and told the secrets he had told him a few days ago to the officers below. That day, after Hu Yanshi left the tent of the Capricorn, he thought about it again and again and again to suppress the order of the Capricorn. But now Hu Yanshi also feels that their army is hopeless to help, so it's better to let the soldiers on the mountain find a way out by themselves.

Early the next morning, as expected by Hu Yan, the soldiers in the camp were nearly half less. Originally, there were 600 soldiers, but now there are only more than 300 soldiers left. When Huyan saw this scene, he could only tell the situation in the camp in detail. Hearing this, he was not angry. He just waved his hand at Hu Yanshi, "That's all right! Let them go! Anyway, if you stay on the mountain, you will die. It's better to find a way to live by yourself. Maybe you can still leave.

Hu Yanhun heard what the Capricorn said, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the big account of the Capricorn. Turning around the sky, many orc soldiers fled. And the Capricorn still has such an attitude. For three consecutive days, there are now less than 200 orc soldiers left in the camp. However, the original soldiers at the foot of the mountain still had a long-range attack on the top of the mountain and a sneak attack in the air. Hu Yanhun also felt bored with this. At this time, the Capricorn summoned Hu Yanshi and the remaining officers to his camp.

"It's not easy for everyone to live until now." Looking at the people in the tent, he smiled and said, "The original people at the foot of the mountain want to kill us all by besieging them. What ideas do you have?"

The officers in the tent looked at each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, Hu Yanhun said first, "General, we are willing to follow you to death!"

"Yes! General! We are willing to accompany your life and death!" The other officers listened to Hu Yanshi's words and shouted together.

"Hehe! Death?" The Capricorn stood up and pointed to the outside of the tent, "Those original people really want me to die!" But I don't. You can't die either!" After saying that, he looked around the people in the tent again, "We all have to get out of here alive. Didn't General Huyan tell you a few days ago that there was a way to live? Why don't you leave?"

"We are willing to follow the general!" The officers in the tent still answered in unison.

"Good! Very good!" He returned to his seat with a smile, "Huyanhun, pass on the order!" People in the camp should prepare more dry food and water. In addition, each person will be given an extra set of new armor and blankets. We will break through the west slope of the eight-sided slope tonight.

Yes! General." After listening to Hu Yan, he was respectfully saluted and received orders. Other officers in the tent also withdrew from the tent with Hu Yanhun.

One of the departing orc officers muttered to the officers beside him, "If I had known this, I would have gone down the western hill earlier."

"Hehe! Then you will definitely die." The officer beside him despised him.

The officers saw the officers leave their tents. A proud smile appeared on his face. Indeed, the officer behind was right at all. No one has walked through the area west of this eight-sided slope. Who knows how to get out of this jungle. If no one leads the way in front, it must be difficult for the people behind them to walk. That's why he deliberately released the news in advance. Although he didn't know that the original merchant cavalry had found his whereabouts. However, he knew that if he and his men fled, the original people would definitely find out. Therefore, he had to sacrifice some people to find their way, so that they could easily get out of the dense forest.

In other words, even if the road out of the dense forest is easy. You don't have enough food, water, and warm clothes, and you can't get out alive. Therefore, the orc soldiers who left on their own in front of them undoubtedly died in the dense forest, and they used their bodies to provide a skeletal road signpost for the withdrawal of the caravan.
