Four Hundred and Twenty-Five: Reconstruction of Xiangyang County (9)
Jiang Pengji frowned while looking at the sheepskin picture in her hand. Ww W. 』LieWen. CC
Seeing her concentration, Meng Hun didn't dare to disturb her.
After a while, her fingers drew a route on the drawing.
"Let's go this way."
Meng Hun glanced at the parchment with some doubts in his eyes, wondering why she was so sure.
Jiang Pengji gasped, drank half of the water bag in one breath, and then threw it back on Dabai's horse ornaments.
"The man didn't tell where the place was before he died, but the marks on his body revealed everything."
Jiang Pengji wiped her face with her palms, and her palms were covered with hot sweat.
"It has been very hot and rainless these past few days. His clothes were stained so much that the original color was almost invisible. However, the trouser legs from his feet to his knees were cleaner than other places. There were some water plants in his straw sandals, which shows that he During the escape, I waded through water... Judging from the map of Kun, there are rivers and water plants between the two sections of the road... This is the only place that meets these conditions. I think the hero should fight and retreat and hide here... I’m not 100% sure, so I can only take a gamble.”
Meng Hun took a careful look at the place pointed out by Jiang Pengji with a solemn expression.
"If that's the case, maybe they are all still alive..."
According to the picture, the place pointed by Jiang Pengji has twists and turns, making it easy to hide.
"I hope so." She looked calm and undisturbed by external objects. "The weather is hot now, and fires are easy to start in the mountains. If the Tsing Yi Army is impatient to waste time searching the mountains and directly sets fire to the mountains, it will be troublesome. Let's go on the road. "
Now that time was running out, she naturally didn't want to delay.
Maybe there is just a little time left in the end?
The drifting clouds drifted away, and the orange afterglow fell on the earth. The air became hotter and muggier, almost making people breathless.
Gradually, the night fell.
At the foot of a mountain, a sturdy middle-aged man sat on a horse, staring fiercely ahead, as if he had been quenched by poison.
He spat on the ground with an angry look on his face.
"Bah! These guys,
Don’t miss any of them today! "
Not far away, there is a longing figure.
"The movements should be more agile. Today I will burn them all alive on the mountain to pay homage to the spirits of our brothers in heaven!"
"Hurry up, why are you lazy!"
"If you are lazy again, the general will whip you to death..."
"Everyone needs to be quick with their hands and feet and work hard..."
The sound of rustling sounded at the foot of the mountain. Thousands of people swayed, and everyone was holding something in their arms.
More than half an hour later.
A middle-aged man wearing coarse clothes bent over, with a shy face, and said to the middle-aged strong man sitting on the horse with a golden sword, "General, everything is almost ready. This time we must let you go." It's hard for them to fly. Not to mention such a defeated army of three to five thousand, even if three to five thousand Daluo Jinxian comes, they will have to roast their flesh to prevent them from escaping again. "
The weather is now dry and it has not rained for several days. Once a fire is set on the mountain, the fire will not stop even if it wants to.
Saying this, the middle-aged man still felt a little hairy in his heart.
In order to vent their anger, the Tsing Yi Army conducted a sneak attack on the so-called casualty camp at night.
However, no one expected that these people would react so quickly and that they would be discovered by the other party instead of being completely annihilated.
It's ridiculous that these people are so stupid that they don't forget to take those burdens with them when they run for their lives.
Now they were forcing them to flee in embarrassment, suffering numerous casualties along the way. In the end, they even fled to the mountains in an attempt to use the complicated terrain to throw them away. It's so stupid. Why should they go into the mountains to search? They can just burn it with fire.
None of these people noticed that a figure carrying a crossbow was hiding behind a huge rock on the mountain.
After a while, the man returned to the mountain with a heavy face.
He gasped and said, "These beasts down there are really planning to set fire to the mountain... The foot of the mountain is full of dry firewood..."
Set fire to the mountain?
How should this be done?
After hearing this, many people panicked.
Most of these people were injured. Many of them had pale complexions, black eyes, and looked mentally exhausted.
There are old people, children, and many young men and women here. Faced with the impending death, they can only hold each other and cry.
They originally thought that these people could protect their safety and lead them to escape, but now they are in a desperate situation.
The shadow of death shrouded their hearts. Under such pressure, some people finally couldn't help but stand up and roar.
"It's all you disaster stars. If it weren't for you -"
puff--
Before the man finished speaking, an arrow came out of his knee and blood flowed out.
Seeing the man wailing in pain and rolling on the ground holding his legs, many people screamed and the scene was almost chaotic.
Snapped!
The man who shot the arrow pulled out the arrow and stuffed it back into the quiver without caring about the blood and dirt.
"I hope you will understand. If I hadn't saved you, how could I and all my brothers be trapped in this miserable place?"
"My brother who has been with me for three or four years died trying to save you losers. I didn't complain, so what right do you have to say anything!"
"Shut up, everyone. If anyone dares to say a word, this is what will happen!"
At this time, someone chuckled and echoed, "That's right... if our master's family hadn't been generous, who would have pulled you out of the ruins? Now that the Tsing Yi Army has come to attack, you have begun to throw away the burden. If I had known, we would have rescued a group of people. You white-eyed wolves, I'll leave you alone and see how the Tsing Yi Army treats you. The men will beheaded and feet chopped off, the women will be slept with as prostitutes, and the children will not be spared... By the way, I am a bandit. I don’t mind going back to my old job, but I’ll kill you first to vent my anger!”
"That's enough. The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes."
The person who spoke was a young man in brown clothes. He was sitting on a rock with a silver-white gun beside him.
He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face. Even though the blood on his face has dried, his beauty is still unmistakable.
There was a wound nearly three inches long on his left arm. Even if it was tied tightly with rags, blood was still oozing out.
He seemed not to feel the severe pain in his arm, and his expression remained normal.
If Bu Qu's words hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have even frowned.
"Brother Li, it's us who have troubled you this time."
Although he was scolded, Nabu showed no sign of anger and even showed an apologetic smile to the young man.
If it hadn't been for this young man in brown clothes who helped them out and led them to flee everywhere. Taking advantage of the familiar terrain, he kept getting closer to Xiangyang County and brought trouble to the Tsing Yi army several times along the way. I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to survive this time. I went to the Yama Hall early to report.
The young man surnamed Li shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "It's okay."
"What should I do next... Is it possible to sit like this and wait to die..."
Some people murmured in a low voice, but everyone was silent.
Two thousand Bubu, now less than a thousand, the remaining brothers were all killed by the Tsing Yi Army in order to give them a break or to protect the people, and they died tragically one by one. Thinking of those scenes, some people even couldn't help but cover their eyes and shed tears.
Faced with the sluggish morale of everyone, some people couldn't help but say, "Standing on the mountain is a death, rushing down and fighting is also a death. Comparing the two, it is better to pull a few people to support you before you die, and your life will not be in vain." , and he is a good man again after eighteen years!”
