The water in the river is rising, and the fish in the Pangtuo River are the first to notice this.

Due to the viscosity and internal resistance of the fluid itself, the surging river water is only one kilometer away from the dam, and the waves are almost invisible.

But there is no doubt that the water level in the Pangtuo River is rising - in a very subtle way.

"Look! That face! Look at those fish!"

Taichi stared, as things like bubbles kept appearing in the river.

The undercurrent stirred up the silt at the bottom of the river, forcing fish that had been dormant in deep water in winter to constantly come up for air.

The Teltown people lack markers and hydrological data, making it difficult for them to judge the situation. Is the rising water level a normal fluctuation, or...

"You said the two-legged people built a dam?" Tai Chi asked another subordinate with a sullen face: "Why didn't you find out?"

Hong Lingyu, who was scolded, could not argue: "That Yan, hundreds of kilometers upstream have been carefully searched by the disciples, and indeed no trace of the dam has been found!"

"Shut up!" Tai Chi yelled: "Is the rising water still caused by two-legged people peeing in the river?!"

"That face..." Hong Lingyu licked her lips and said with difficulty: "Since two-legged people can build a city overnight, maybe..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Tai Chi whipped the other party's face hard: "Shut up!"

Hong Lingyu received a strong blow from the whip, and the place where it was struck was burning and painful. He knelt down on his left knee and did not dare to say any more words.

If you want to rely on the impact of the river water to defeat the enemy, the location of the dam should naturally be as close to the enemy as possible. However, the closer it is, the easier it is for the dam to be exposed.

After choosing between the two, Winters finally decided to build a dam 80 kilometers upstream to intercept the water of the Huiqing River.

At such a long distance, when the river water released by the dam reaches the downstream, it is already an undercurrent with no waves.

Sacrifice impact power in exchange for concealment and suddenness.

As a tributary of the Pangtuo River, the channel of the Huiqing River is located on the north side of the Pangtuo River.

In other words, for the Terdun people who were plundering on the south bank, the Huiqing River was an "invisible river" hidden behind the Pangtuo River.

The side road of the canyon, which could originally accommodate four horses, was now narrowed into a narrow road that could only accommodate two horses.

If the water level of the Pangtuo River continues to rise, this channel will return to a path that can only accommodate one person walking.

Worse news came one after another: the two-legged men had seized the fording field, defeated the defenders who had stayed at the entrance of the canyon, and were building a new horse-blocking wall, which seemed to completely cut off the retreat of the Terdun tribe.

At this point, Tai Chi also knew that he had fallen into a trap.

"Build a city overnight? Build a dam overnight?" Taichi's face was livid, his eyes were slit with anger, but he couldn't help but laugh: "The leader of the two-legged people thought I was a bull and a stupid donkey! He marked a path for you and me, and you and I just

You have to go obediently?!"

"Can you let the disciples turn around first?" Qing Lingyu, an old man, asked cautiously: "Rabbits also know how to leave a few secret passages. At least take back the exit of the canyon first, guard the retreat, and then rush forward?"

"Hey! How can it be too late?!" Taichi's son was furious: "This trail is not as wide as the trip rope! How can the disciples use it? The only way now is to mount a fast horse, move forward hard, and rush from the other side of the canyon.

go out!"

"Charge forward and kill!" Taichi straightened his riding whip and made a decision that could not be refuted: "Go to the Huiqu River. There will be a solution when we reach the river!"

"But?" The old man Qing Lingyu was unwilling to give in.

"What the hell?!" Taichi stared at the other person: "I have already said that there will be a solution when we get to the river!"

[Note: The ‘Huiqu River’ among the people of Terdun is the ‘Big Horn River’ among the people of Plato]

Seeing Da Nayan say this, the other Teldun leaders all touched their chests and answered yes.

…

Lower Tiefeng County, Heishui Town.

Tushechang changed hands again, triggering a chain reaction.

According to the military orders of the Terdun Khan's camp, the tribes plundered south of "that river" should be used as reinforcements, and the second batch attacked the north bank.

The river that the Terdun people call is the Pangtuo River. It may have had a name in the past, but as time has passed, even the old people of the Terdun tribe can no longer remember what the river is called, so they simply refer to it as "that river".

Unexpectedly, most of the people and horses had just crossed the river, and the wading field was suddenly occupied by two-legged people.

The Terdun people who invaded Tiefeng County were cut into two parts, and it was difficult to communicate with them. Rumors spread among the Terdun people who stayed in Lower Tiefeng County.

Some leaders were watching, while others wanted to escape. Others thought it was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds and drove their men to the river.

Among the big and small leaders, [Green Horse] and [Stone Arrow] are the two most inconspicuous ones.

Because from the perspective of status, they are not a serious "aristocratic" class, they are thugs of the aristocratic class.

In the flat Hed society, their status is between aristocrats and subjects. They are more than better than the lower class, but still somewhat less than the upper class.

At this moment, these two humble Telton people were doing a horrific act that they had never thought of before - they were cutting off the head of the "bald dog".

The knives worn by the Hud people were meant for cutting meat for eating, and it was quite inconvenient to cut heads.

Qingma and Shijian did this clumsily, sawing and prying, and it took a lot of effort for the two strong men to completely separate the bald dog's head from its body.

The tent was in a mess. Tables and bowls were knocked over during the fight. Wine and blood were splashed everywhere, turning the originally clean blanket into mud.

The panting green horse looked at the bald dog's head and suddenly howled loudly: "You bald dog! Gelding! Why do you force me to wait!"

While crying, Qingma tried his best to scratch and stab with the knife. Full of grief, anger and resentment, the bald dog's originally ferocious face was completely destroyed into rotten flesh.

Shi Jian sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at Qing Ma who was falling into madness, looking extremely tired.

The two men originally came to bribe Bald Dog, but in the end they turned into a vendetta.

Ever since the bald dog crossed the river, the green horse and the stone arrow had been closely watched.

Bald Dog did not hide his greed to annex Qing Ma and Shi Jian's tribe, and made things difficult for them at every turn.

Especially after Bald Dog's old camp was attacked and burned down, Bald Dog, who gained nothing and lost a lot of money, simply took over Qingma and Shijian's camp as its owner.

Qing Ma and Shi Jian were satisfied with their harvest, and they just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Bald Dog's attempt to drive the two to "that river" intensified the conflict, and Bald Dog's behavior of publicly humiliating Qing Ma when accepting bribes was the trigger.

The temporary winners of this internal struggle among the Tertun people are Qing Ma and Shi Jian. After all, the heads of the bald dogs are separated, while the heads of Qing Ma and Shi Jian are still well on their shoulders.

If nothing unexpected happens next, the Bald Dog Nakels will kill Qing Ma and Shi Jian, and then divide the property of the three deceased people.

"Stop!" Tired Shi Jian suddenly said.

Qingma ignored it, still holding the bald dog's hair with one hand, and stabbing the bald dog in the face with a knife.

The bald dog's eyes have been turned into something like milk cake with bloodshot eyes, which is disgusting.

Shi Jian stood up and punched Qing Ma hard: "Don't go crazy!"

Qingma fell heavily into the bloody water, his usually fierce triangular eyes full of despair: "Why did he force me! Why..."

"Keep your voice down!" Shi Jian bared his teeth and kicked his companion viciously: "Don't alert Bald Dog's personal guards!"

"Bald Dog's bodyguards?" Qingma seemed to be grasping the last straw like a drowning man, his eyes suddenly became ferocious: "Kill! Kill them all!"

"Are you drunk from the horse-drawn wine? How can you and I deal with them?!"

Qing Ma suddenly stood up and walked straight out: "Kill them one by one!"

"So what if we kill them?" Shi Jian pushed his companion hard: "Can you and I run away?"

"Just say that Two-Legged Man killed him!"

"Who can you hide it from?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qingma shouted hysterically: "Then what do you think we should do?!"

"Shut up!" Shi Jian pressed down on Qingma fiercely, and he gritted his teeth: "Run! The only way to survive is to escape."

"How to escape?" Qingma was on the verge of collapse.

"It's just you and me!" Shi Jian racked his brains and calculated: "Except for horses and food and drink, we don't bring any belongings with us. We run day and night! We can survive by running back to the grassland!"

"Even if we run back to the grassland, you and I have nowhere to go!" Qingma cried out sadly: "The fire-warmer will not let you and me go!"

Qingma pulled Shi Jian fiercely, his shoulders trembling: "You and I surrender! Surrender the Two-Legged Man! Whether you are a slave or a rider, the Two-Legged Man will give you and me a way to survive."

"Don't be stupid!" Shi Jian's mood gradually became calmer: "The two-legged people will not give you or me a way to survive."

"Being picked up on a wooden pole and shot to death by thousands of arrows, being put into a skin bag and trampled to death by thousands of horses..." Qingma looked at the knife in his hand: "It's better to have fun yourself."

"The Terdun tribe can't tolerate you and me anymore. A horse walking alone cannot survive." Shi Jian had already made up his mind. He squeezed his companion's shoulders and said fiercely: "Red River tribe! White lion! You and I go find the white lion."

!”

Qingma's body suddenly became stiff, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Later, flames engulfed the camp, and the rest of the Terdun people were busy rescuing their belongings and livestock. For a while, no one noticed that Shijian and Qingma had fled.

…

Zhongtiefeng County, within the Niuti Valley, on the east bank of the Pangtuo River.

In the desperate situation, Shijian and Qingma gave up everything just for a chance of survival.

At this moment, Taichi couldn't even see the glimmer of hope.

"There will be a solution when we get to the river." These were Tai Chi's original words.
