The terrain of the Jieshan River Valley is very peculiar, standing in the distance and looking at it from afar, I can see that the mountains are undulating, like a natural barrier between the three state capitals in the southwest and the large plains in the northeast, which has played a good role in protecting the core territory of the entire Dongliang Kingdom.

In the middle of it, I realized that this river valley is very winding and huge. A river weaves through the mountains, turning the valley into a valley that turns around a thousand times.

On both sides of the valley, the terrain is undulating, sometimes craggy and sometimes flat, with large piles of stones and gravel exposed.

The water in the valley is bitter, and there are no fish or shrimp except for the sediment. Moreover, it was the middle of winter, and a thick layer of white ice formed on the surface of the river.

Bai Feng's troops walked along the riverbank, looking for food as they went, collecting firewood and medicinal herbs, and killing wild beasts to replenish supplies.

Unfortunately, the season is cold, and in addition to trees and weeds, there are occasional wild beasts in the mountains, and there are no more supplies to feed and warm up.

The march was difficult.

Bai Feng took the lead, using animal bones as needles, sewing a few pieces of animal skins into simple winter clothes, draped them over to keep out the cold, he was tall, coupled with white hair and white beard, and now he was wearing a string of animal skins on his body, looking at it from a distance, it looked very funny, like a three-year-old child playing around.

The soldiers followed suit and sewed sweaters for themselves to keep out the cold, and from a distance, this group of men and horses was like a wild man drinking blood in the mountains.

"Bai Shuai, there is a mountain pass on the left, and there seems to be an army stationed at the bottom of the mountain. "The patrol is coming.

Bai Feng unfolded the combat topographic map that had been seriously curled in his hand, "This is a relatively large exit in this area, the mouth of the Wolf Valley, which has always been a battleground for soldiers. It seems that Moro has calculated that we will break through here, so he has set up his pockets early and waits for us to drill. ”

Hei Xiaobai was checking the herbs not far away, and when he heard this, he also looked up into the distance, and the mountain pass was indeed a large plain, as long as there was a plain, there were people, and as long as there were people, there was hope to raise food and clothes. The troops were running out of ammunition and food, and everyone had not had enough to eat for several days.

"Are we going to fight out of here?" asked Lao Yun.

Bai Feng's brows furrowed, and he groaned uncertainly.

Another lieutenant general suggested: "Judging from the future, while everyone still has a little energy and fighting spirit, let's break through from here." You see, bypassing this mountain pass, the next thing is all the mountains, and there is no better breakthrough for thousands of miles. If we miss this, we will really be trapped and die in the mountains, Bai Shuai! Moro Xiaoer really wants to find out where we are, and there is no need to fight at all, as long as we wait at the front exit, even if we finally struggle out of the southernmost part of the river valley, at that time, we will be hungry and cold, and more than half of them will be killed and injured, but I am afraid that we will have no ability to resist for a long time. ”

Bai Feng clenched the topographic map tightly and held it in the palm of his hand, his hands were trembling, and his snow-white beard was also trembling.

After a long time, he began to speak, "You can't break through from here." The Moro troops in front must have been waiting for a long time. This is not the most fearful, what I am worried about is that after breaking out, when we fight desperately and are exhausted, there will be other changes. This Qin Jian, now he should come back to his senses and guess that it was us who fought against the Moro front army, so what would he do? Will he cooperate with us and give the Moro army a flanking attack left and right?"

Lao Yun's face was solemn: "Just him, that strength, that heart, how can he help us? I think it's only possible to give us a left and right pinch!"

"That's it!" Bai Feng patted his knees, stood up and walked in place, his handsome face was full of bitterness left by the tempering of the food and sleeping in the open, and his eyes were full of melancholy, "This is exactly what I'm worried about." We are now a spontaneous army with no name and no point, and the court can pretend to be deaf and dumb when it does not know about our existence. Qin Jian can just deduct the crime of bandits and rogues here, and he can destroy us all. Therefore, the mouth of the wolf valley can't be out, so you have to continue to wander in the mountains and play the ecstasy array with them. When they decide that we have long been trapped in the mountains, we will be caught by surprise and there may be a chance of survival. ”

Lao Yun looked at Bai Feng's white hair, the sudden increase in wrinkles on his forehead, and the red bloodshot in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and reminded in a low voice: "Recently, you have been busy day and night, but you have to pay attention to your body, don't get burned." ”

Bai Feng smiled, "Don't worry, the old man is tough!"

A sentry stumbled in front of him, "Report to the general, there is a team of men and horses in front, without banners, dressed like hunters in the mountains, and there are about thirty or fifty people, and a few horses. Look at the footsteps, not like the Orion. ”

Bai Feng frowned: "Orions generally act alone to hunt, at most there are groups of three or five people, where are there thirty or fifty people acting together!

Saying that, he took the lead. When they bypassed a forest, a mountain nest appeared along the river valley in front of them, and there were dozens of people in front of the nest, dissecting wild sheep, mountain deer and other prey. It seemed that they had a good harvest, and dozens of prey were pressed on the ground.

Some people started to make fires and hang pots, and some people were collecting meltwater from ice and snow, and it seemed that they were going to cook meat on the spot and eat it.

"That's a lot of prey. There were soldiers behind Bai Feng who licked their mouths greedily, "The wild animals in this mountain are very cunning, and we lack hunting tools, so we only hit two wild sheep and a few rabbits after running for a day, even if we boil soup for everyone to drink, it is not enough for everyone to share a bowl." Where did they come from so much?"

A little soldier was even more salivating, "If only I could eat a piece of meat, even if it's raw meat, I haven't eaten enough for four or five days." ”

Bai Feng looked back, and the little soldier was not afraid of him, but he was a little embarrassed.

Bai Feng reached out and touched the child's face, and smiled kindly, "You're hungry, don't you, you want to eat meat? Actually, I want to eat it too! It's just ......"

Or take it from those people?

Bai Shuai led the soldiers, has always loved the soldiers like children, but also very strict, never disturbed the people, it is said that in the past, he slept on the streets in the middle of the night to endure the cold and dampness, and did not easily go to the door to disturb the people.

Even if he is no longer the marshal of the imperial court, this time he is strict with everyone all the way and never harasses the homes of the people along the way.

Therefore, it is definitely not okay to rob by force.

Do you watch people eat meat?

The men seemed to be deliberately trying to covet others, and as if no one else was busy, the fire soon burned, and the snow rolled in the iron pot hung high, and the pieces of meat were cut with daggers, and thrown into the water piece by piece, as well as the condiments they carried with them.

The fragrance suddenly dissipated with the air, and soon the valley was filled with the smell of meat.

It's been a long time since I smelled it, let alone eaten cooked meat.

The soldiers behind Bai Feng were originally sitting around, but when they smelled the fragrance, they all gathered behind Bai Feng, looking at them with a pair of eyes, and they were gurgling and swallowing saliva one by one.

Even Bai Feng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Only Hei Xiaobai is still busy with himself, since Bai Feng gave him the prescriptions for the treatment of bruises, hemostasis, bone renewal, muscle growth and other diseases that he had explored for many years in the army, he has often studied and pondered, and has improved a lot on the original basis.

Bai Feng glanced back at the busy young man who lowered his head and sighed: "Everyone else is hungry and hungry, why is Hei Xiaobai indifferent, isn't he hungry?"

The soldiers beside him sighed, "He, he tinkered with those medicinal herbs and ointments when it was dark." He also secretly fed his own rations to the wounded. His own body looked skinny and skinny. ”

Bai Feng's eyes flashed unbearable, if you look closely, this is indeed the case, Hei Xiaobai is indeed a lot haggard, the face of the rich boy who was originally white and tender has been sharpened by the wind, frost, rain and snow in the wild, and his body is as slender and thin as a jujube pole.

The meat in the cauldron in the mountain nest is cooked, and the fragrance is rich and tangy.

The baby soldier behind him couldn't help crying, "Old General Bai, I, I, I'm hungry—"

Then really grab it?!

Bai Feng looked back, and the soldiers behind him stared at a pair of hungry eyes, and there was more pleading and longing in their eyes. As long as Bai Feng gave an order, they really rushed out like hungry wolves.

"No-" Bai Feng held the knife in his hand, his eyes were resolute, and he roared in a low voice, "Brothers, we are soldiers, not thieves, not thieves, not gangsters, we are people who defend the family and the country, and we are people who protect the peace of the people of Li, even if we are in a difficult situation now, we can't do anything evil." Even if you starve to death, freeze to death, or die of sleepiness, you can't, let alone go!"

Bai Feng's voice was low and hoarse, as if he could cough up blood in that voice.

One by one, the soldiers immediately lowered their heads, and no longer dared to look at the soul-stirring fragrance not far away.

Bai Feng led the troops strictly, since he didn't nod his head to grab it, it really wouldn't work.

Everyone can only watch others enjoy the delicious food.

Bai Feng knew that the soldiers were hungry, greedy, and their mouths were fading out of the birds, but since they insisted on taking the road of the regular army, they had to have the military orders and regulations of the regular army, and this opening could not be opened, once it was opened today, how would the army be governed in the future, from robbing to stealing to stealing to burning, killing and looting, what is the difference!

No, absolutely not!

He got up and walked behind him, and the soldiers followed him.

However, the desire in everyone's eyes and the hunger in their hearts, he knows better than anyone else.

Whew—a long sound, piercing through the air, came in the air.

"There are dark arrows!" shouted Lao Yun.

The long arrow was very powerful, and it arrived with a swish, carrying a cold air, and pierced straight into Bai Feng's forehead.

Seeing that Bai Feng was about to bloom in his braincase, his brain burst out.

The arrows were coming so fast that everyone didn't have time to dodge.

"Ahh

"Grandpa—" Hei Xiaobai blurted out, and at the same time, the basket of herbs in his hand fell to the ground.

Bai Feng was not in a hurry, he suddenly calmed down, his eyes were like torches, staring at the long arrow that was galloping, and at the same time raised his hand to see that the arrow was about to penetrate into the corner of his forehead, but he stopped and stood straight in the air. It turned out that Bai Feng grabbed the long arrow and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Is the general okay?" Lao Yun pounced first.

"I'm scared to death—it's still the old marshal!" the soldier exclaimed.

Hei Xiaobai let out a long breath and bent down to pick up the herbs that had fallen to the ground.

What a false alarm.

Bai Feng looked at the long arrow in his hand, and smiled, it turned out to be an arrow that had never had an arrow.

"Old Black?!" Old Cloud exclaimed.

Bai Feng nodded, "Apart from him, who else in this world dares to do this?"

Lao Yun laughed like a child with joy, and ran into the mountain nest, "Old Hei, Old Black, you finally appeared, you don't know how much the general misses you after the negative qi leaves——"

Bai Feng also ran behind him.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that this was an old man, Bai Shuai's old man, that was everyone's friend. When you meet old friends in a foreign country, it is naturally a pleasure to meet old friends in this barren mountain wilderness. Besides, Bai Shuai's old man still has so many wild things, and the meat in the pot is already cooked, will he give everyone a piece of the pie - the soldiers are all hula and run forward.
