The mountain fire was raging, Sun Xiaozhe looked around him in despair, and everywhere in his eyes was not a scorching flame. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhang Tongru, Chen Xuanren......"

He shouted through his throat, calling out to his closest generals, but the only answer was the howling of the air currents caused by the heat.

Left and right, he tried to rush in every direction in the hope of more than 100 desperate situations, but each time he failed. As the fire grows bigger and bigger, so does the place where you can stay, and is it finally going to die?

Sun Xiaozhe gave up the struggle and let the flames jump on his body, and the burning pain in his hands and face gave him an illusion of relief.

Originally, he would feel that he was unwilling, but at this moment, he realized that death may be the best ending, and finally he didn't have to bear the shame of defeat, and he didn't have to be entangled by hundreds of thousands of unjust souls day and night.

In an instant, the flames completely engulfed his entire body, and every inch of his skin was experiencing the burning of the fire, but what made him feel strange was that the flames should be burning to the point of pain, but the actual feeling was that the whole body was cold, as if every time the flames burned on the face, a large piece of coldness would be swept away.

"Handsome, handsome......"

When he was about to die, Zhang Tongru's voice came from nowhere, and Sun Xiaozhe shook his head with a wry smile.

has reached such a situation, Zhang Tongru is still loyal to him, and he will never abandon him, and it is not in vain to live this life. In fact, he looked down on this person a little before this, but it was this person who was not favored that was not afraid of the real gold of the fire and the strong grass that was not afraid of the wind.

"Leave me alone, run for your life, remember, never come back!"

The world has finally fallen into darkness, and the silence makes people think that they are in the void, and there is no landing up and down, is this what it feels like to die?

A ray of light shot down from the top of his head, Sun Xiongzhe instinctively looked up, but saw a face in the haze, it was Zhang Tongru.

His gaze gradually changed, and sure enough, it was Zhang Tongru, who was looking at himself with concern.

Sun Xiaozhe's body trembled suddenly, and he crawled up, only to find that he was still in the mulberry forest, and there was no fire around him, but it was raining all day, and his clothes and armor were soaked by the cold rain, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to stick to his body.

He was dressed in a big gulp, it turned out to be a nightmare, and the cold touch that came from the burning body must also be because of this freezing rain.

Although the man had woken up, he still felt a splitting headache, and he couldn't help but bury his head in the crook of his arm, as if he wanted to fall asleep again, ignoring the cruel reality.

'Is the handsome having a nightmare?'

Sun Xiaozhe habitually smiled bitterly.

"Nightmare, now that I think about it, it's very comfortable......"

What he said was clueless, Zhang Tongru couldn't understand it for a while, he just thought that the handsome man hadn't woken up completely.

"It's dawn, it's time to hurry, presumably the pursuers must also have a headache for this ice rain, this is a great opportunity for us to get out!"

Zhang Tongru was right, the official road had already become muddy due to the melting of snow in the winter, and now it was raining again, and there was no sign of stopping in a short time, and the road would be even more difficult to navigate. Crucially, the rain would erase their tracks, making it more difficult for the Don/Army pursuers to track their tracks.

Sun Xiaozhe's spirit was shocked, and he immediately raised his head and looked east along the forest path, except for the vast mulberry forest, there was a sky full of ice and rain.

"It makes sense, without further ado, after a full meal of war, set off on the road. ”

But after saying that, he and Zhang Tongru stared wide-eyed, and the only baggage and grain they had when they crossed the river were all lost on the south bank of Weishui, and they really had nothing now.

"Don't eat first, go west, you will always come across a mountain village, and you can grab some food when the time comes. ”

This sentence was whispered to Zhang Tongru, since there is nothing to eat, then you have to move first, it is much better than sitting still.

"Handsome and wise!"

Zhang Tongru had repeatedly thought of many ways to deal with it, but none of them worked, and after thinking about it, only marching hungry was the least costly and most feasible way.

Those who have been able to follow Sun Xiaozhe to escape for his life until now are all people who are loyal to him, and even if they don't have breakfast, they have no regrets.

To the north of this place is a high mountain ridge, Sun Xiaozhe has long been familiar with the terrain in Guanzhong, this ridge is called Yao Mountain, as long as it is turned over is the boundary of Baishui County, and it is also the place where his 200,000 army is doomed to fail.

However, Sun Xiaozhe did not plan to cross Yaoshan, because after Yaoshan and then to the north, there is a horse Pingchuan, which is the most suitable for cavalry pursuit, and doing so is tantamount to throwing himself into a net and committing suicide. As long as you continue westward along the mulberry forest south of Yaoshan Mountain until the boundary of Ningzhou, you can ask for the influence of the Shenwu Army as much as possible. Next, as long as you are careful, once you get out of the loop, then as Zhang Tongru said, the sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is high and the birds can fly.

"Wake up...... Wake up, you can't fall......"

The soldiers died one after another, warning Sun Xiaozhe that the physical strength of the soldiers under his command had reached the limit, and whether they could get out of this mulberry forest as they wished depended on when they could get enough to eat. As long as these tiger and wolf athletes are fed, there is absolutely no problem in holding on for another two days and nights.

Zhang Tongru also made a rare decision at this time.

"The dead are all dead, bury them on the spot, hurry up the main road, and never let the pursuers find our traces!"

The soldiers, who were still crying out sadly, carried out the military order again and buried their comrades in the dead branches and leaves under the mulberry forest.

Perhaps the bones of these comrades will soon be gouged out by the beasts, and perhaps they will never see the light of day again. However, Zhang Tongru still cheers for the living.

"As long as we can escape, sooner or later we will avenge these brothers who died in vain, but if we only care about sadness and sadness, once we are caught by the pursuers, there is no hope. ”

Zhang Tongru's words sounded very reasonable, and these soldiers were also very confident that one day they would come back again.

Sun Xiaozhe's heart moved, but the thought that had just risen was suppressed again.

There is no food in the army, so why not make these fallen people into human breasts? But after weighing it again, it still did not make it clear, after all, these people all knew each other, and they were all old brothers who came out of Liaodong with him, and if he did this, he would inevitably not be regarded as unkind.

Zhang Tongru is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Sun Xiaozhe's eyes jumping, he knew that he had an idea again, so he asked in a low voice:

"What did the marshal think?"

Sun Xiaozhe's eyes only fell on the dense forest to the west, which was a sloping area, and as long as he turned over it, he was one step closer to escaping.

"Let's go, don't bother!"

Kankan climbed over the hillside, but when he stood on the top of the slope and looked west, Sun Xiaozhe almost fell headlong. After turning over this slope, I don't know how many slopes are waiting for them in front of them, when will it be the end of this walk!

Sun Xiaozhe recalled the terrain recorded on the map, but no matter how many times he thought about it, the signs on the map indicated that this was a wasteland.

But now it is full of mulberry forests, and the terrain is so complex that it is almost impossible to continue the march.

"This, why is this still a mulberry forest? Could it be that we are going the wrong way?"

Sun Xiaozhe was noncommittal, but he denied it in his heart, he would never go the wrong way, and the only thing that might go wrong should be the map.

The map was copied from Feng Yijun, and he was like a treasure at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, he can't help but slam his fist on the trunk, the trunk shook violently, and the leaves and mud fell down, leaving him and Zhang Tongru all over their faces.

"Qin Jin erector, a cunning man, made some fake maps, and specially ......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a buzzing sound above his head, and when he looked up, Sun Xiaozhe's face changed drastically, and he saw one after another countless balls, and the black pressed things were rushing towards him from top to bottom.

"Run, it's a wild bee!"

Wild bees in the mountains are the most ferocious, and the bitten person is often unconscious, and if it is serious, it may even die, even if the injury after being bitten is mild, it is inevitable that it will be swollen and painful.

Most people have tasted the taste of being stung by one or two wild bees, but now there is a whole swarm, hundreds or thousands of wild bees, even if they are murderous demons who are terrified from the inside out.

Sun Xiaozhe was the first to hold the head of the rat string, and it was not a joke to run slowly and be surrounded by wild bees. Zhang Tongru's movements were also very neat, and he followed closely behind, not daring to relax half a step.

If it is an ordinary wild bee, it can be easily asked to run out of the way, but today I don't know how it seems to be an evil spirit, and I don't know how far it has run out, and the wild bee is still like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it seems that if it can't catch up, it won't stop.

Some of them are slow to react, surrounded by swarms of bees, and they howl miserably in the blink of an eye, and they run around like crazy when they see it, and they crash into a tree and faint......

Running almost out of strength, Sun Xiaozhe felt that the buzzing sound behind him gradually disappeared, and when he looked back, he saw that there were only a dozen wild bees left behind him, and Zhang Tongru followed very closely and did not lose them.

At this point, Sun Xiaozhe no longer had the strength to run, stopped and lay down on his back, and he didn't care about the wet and cold on the ground, panting heavily, as if he could make his strength return to his body by panting like this.

At the same time, Zhang Tongru lay down side by side, also exhausted.

After breathing like this for half an hour, soldiers chased after them one after another, slowly gathering around the two of them.

"Count the number of people!"

The results of the inventory saddened him.

Originally, he had more than a thousand troops before this, but after being pursued by wild bees, there were less than 500 people left.

Sun Xiaozhe laughed loudly, laughing like crazy, thinking that he regarded himself as a man at the beginning of leading the army, and had the intention to assist the Ming Lord in making meritorious contributions, but in the end, he couldn't even defeat the wild bees, which was really sad and ridiculous.
