The cicadas are chirping with weak cicadas

On the winding and narrow path between the low and unknown mountains, a team of many livestock was slowly moving towards the fish, but the seemingly lifeless atmosphere was a bit depressing. There were not many whispering words or shouting each other between the lengthened and deformed queues.

Sitting on a bumpy ox cart, Zhou Huaian was slowly recalling what had happened before. Three days had passed since they rushed out of Shixiang Town.

When he was following the chaos of nearby streams and mountains, he decided to take the soldiers and men who were willing to obey and follow him again with the assistance and call of Lao Guan;

Then, in the midst of panic and chaos, he tried to take most of the mules and horses on standby and some big trucks with packed baggage, and then broke through the battlefield of this melee in the other direction that he had not yet encountered the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but look at Lao Guan, who was also covered in dust and unspeakable fatigue, and seemed to feel a little sympathetic; it seemed that as a man who had endured the friendship and tacit understanding, he was inadvertently cultivated in the process of fighting side by side.

Then he couldn't help but sigh again. There were only one hundred and seventeen people left by his side; most of them were new local soldiers recruited later; the remaining old soldiers and regular soldiers were only a dozen card soldiers who were obedient under Lao Guan, and most of the archers who were directly under the shooting team of Deputy Guard Lu.

It can be said that as the person in charge of participating in the statistics throughout the whole process, Zhou Huaian had a group of people who came out of the whistle in the Nufeng Camp this time, plus the number of miscellaneous husbands and soldiers who were half as many as here, as well as new soldiers recruited and supplemented along the way, and a total of more than 1,700 people, only less than one-tenth of the survivors are left.

It was only the beginning to be able to rush out of Shixiang Town, which was a chaotic battle. After temporarily getting out of danger and crisis, people soon fell behind and fled, especially those civilians and new soldiers. After all, there were always people with good self-satisfaction, and they felt that the goal of following the brigade was too obvious, and they were confident and confident to escape back to a safe place.

Or they have other different motives and purposes. For example, the chief of the whistle team refused to believe that Sihui County had already made speculations and judgments about the situation, and insisted on going to meet and find possible reinforcements to rescue these comrades trapped in Shixiang Town. Then they could only gather together and swear in their hearts while sincerely wishing the other party a safe journey and all their wishes come true.

However, it is like some kind of good, bad, basic principles and metaphysical probability of a bad spirit,

Then between the next day's encounter, Zhou Huaian met them, who took the initiative to leave, and were severely punished and cruel, hanging upside down on the roadside, and finally nailed to a broken wall. The leader's long eyes, nose and ears disappeared, leaving only a bloody and bloody head contour, which was only recognized by the familiar robe and body characteristics.

Therefore, the remaining miscellaneous people were Zhou Huaian’s most determined followers in a short period of time; and a certain preliminary division of labor was formed in the running-in of extreme events.

The equipment and supplies left in Shixiang Town were also lost. Most of the animals and animals, as well as a small number of high-value and portable items were brought out in chaos. Therefore, along the way, Kang Yu's livestock was transported and carried by the number of animals, and he also supplemented the meat.

However, before arriving at the first two stops in Shixiang Town, people had already sent people to escort a batch of materials for the return trip, so the final loss this time did not exceed one-quarter to one-fifth of the expected one; but the incense medicine collected by Zhou Huaian and the pharmaceutical plan prepared in the local area were completely ruined.

Not only did the materials that were sorted out and sorted out were lost, but only two of them followed him to the end;

In contrast, the hunters and mountain people recruited along the way were more adaptable and performed better. No one was left behind or fled. Instead, after eating, they could take turns to act as the role of everyone who stopped to rest and scattered around the periphery and snooping in front of them.

It can be said that under the pressure of survival and the atmosphere of collective survival, any dissident manifestations and noises of different thoughts will be rejected and suppressed by most people to the lowest limit. At least under the leadership of Zhou Huaian, their losses can be said to be a slim result;

Thanks to the relatively effective preparation measures and the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm that cannot be famous; therefore, except for a few seriously injured and buried in a hurry, this exhausted team has never suffered more staffing since the day before yesterday.

The only battle that caused this result was the inevitable, which was the temporary level set up by the Tuman on the way back to Guangzhou. Although it seemed that there was only a small leader with bird hair in his head and more than a dozen unclothed earth soldiers inside, they were on the top of the slope that was quite good and condescending.

As a result, after the initial approach, the first round of sneak attacks launched under the cover of the arrows was killed or placed in one encounter; then the remaining two passbooks did not escape on the spot or counterattack recklessly, but shouted and roared loudly on the spot.

Then the people who rushed up found that behind the slope, there was a group of earthen men coming from the mountains and forests, so they had to rely on the simple checkpoints made by several logs, turning the temporary sneak attack into a sudden positional battle.

The result and price of breaking through this obstacle was to abandon some of the excess burden, and add more than 20 wounded people to the stretcher carried by the donkey and mule rack, as well as a large group of fly insects that could not be gathered.

Suddenly, a series of rapid bird slurs came from the front, representing the signal that the spies on the outpost had discovered; then Zhou Huaian rode a mule for transportation to check,

The stretching mountain road between the hills seems to have come to an end here, and behind the shrub-filled mounds, a gurgling river and a large field of overgrown weeds are exposed.

Not far from the field is a small ferry. Zhou Huaian still vaguely remembers that this was the place they had passed by. It is also considered that their team, which was ramming towards the southeast, had found a familiar way back again.

However, there were already rosy ochre flags in this ferry, and many people were riding bamboo rafts and wooden rafts on the river, rushing over the ropes and cables.

Then, with the sharp sound of whistling, I saw the dense reed grass by the river, and suddenly stood up in the dense reeds by the river. I was wearing the unique hats of the Tumen Army, and waving weapons while shooting arrows, shouting and roaring towards the narrow and cramped ferry.

"Go and call the Guan team..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but change his face.
