A battalion of 1,000 people, even if they are well-trained, will not retreat too fast to the east.

If there is a helicopter for aerial photography at this time, the picture of a thousand people marching can definitely be described as "magnificent" two people.

This is not an exaggeration, think of our broadcast gymnastics, dozens of classes together in a neat line on the playground to make movements, if there are lazy students in the classroom to look at the window, you will definitely can't help but admire a few times.

A line of 1,000 people, once spread out in two rows, is enough to fill a few blocks. In the wetlands of the estuary in front of us, such a team winds along the muddy road, like a snake that twists its body seventeen or eighteen times, quite a magnificent color.

It's not easy to see one person out of a thousand.

Zhao Mingde upholds this idea. He was pale, tried his best to keep his head calm, used the courage he had fought the battlefield, and walked through this difficult fifty-odd steps.

Then he finally felt that he had left the other party's threat area, and when he looked back, he found that Xie Xiaoman was concentrating on communicating something with his own battalion commander, and his eyes did not look at him.

So Zhao Mingde finally let out a sigh of relief, his legs were weak, and if it weren't for his left hand on the shoulder of his comrade, the whole person would almost be paralyzed.

"Lao Zhao, are you fucking kidney deficient? The whole person is soft like this? Zhao Mingde's chief noticed the abnormality, walked up to him, and teased with a smile.

The people next to him all laughed and said some vulgar and simple words.

Zhao Mingde smiled bitterly. Adjust his mood, wipe the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, and sigh: "Boss, don't make fun of me." I've had diarrhea lately. The mental head can't keep up...... My mother's children are still at home, how dare they have kidney deficiency? ”

Everyone laughed again when they heard this, and Shi Chang also smiled and said to the others: "I see, this guy Lao Zhao must have secretly fed himself if he had nothing to do." There are a lot of wild birds in this place, and he is from an Orion, so he has good skills! It's okay to eat alone, but you can eat your stomach badly, right? You deserve it! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Deserve! Deserve! Zhao Mingde smiled bitterly and nodded.

As for the fact that he once had the courage to tease Xie Xiaoman. Zhao Mingde didn't dare to say it even if he was killed. Now for Xie Xiaoman, Zhao Mingde is really respectful and awe-inspiring, and at the same time, he can't help but feel a little grateful.

With the same flirtation he had before. Even if Xie Xiaoman executed him according to military law, it would not be a big deal. But Xie Xiaoman didn't do that, just kicked him, and then let him get the military staff himself. That's already a lot of kindness.

It's just that. Zhao Mingde couldn't help but have some luck in his heart, and what he was thinking about these days was that he was afraid that Xie Xiaoman would regret it. What if Counselor Xie felt that he had been punished too lightly at that time, how could he think of this incident and prepare to look good?

Zhao Mingde didn't want to die yet, especially at the hands of a woman.

Fortunately, the other two did not call their names that day. It's just called "Lao Zhao". Even if Counselor Xie had that mind, it should be difficult for him to find his traces among the troops. It's a safe thing to do.

But Zhao Mingde was still a little worried, he didn't know much about the ability of cultivators, and he couldn't help but have some suspicions in his heart, thinking that people like Lord Xue who could fly to the sky and the earth, could they also pinch their fingers and find themselves easily?

It was with such a worried mood that Zhao Mingde had not slept well in the past few days, and this anxiety reached a peak after seeing Xie Xiaoman on the march.

Fortunately, after reaching the peak, this mood did not erupt like a volcano, but like a trigonometric curve, after finding that Xie Xiaoman did not look at him, he slowly descended.

Zhao Mingde exhaled deeply, and after the laughter of his comrades, he quickly returned to his original state, and the anxiety in his heart went a little.

Of course, Zhao Mingde didn't know that at this time, Xie Xiaoman was listening to Huo Qi's conversation on the one hand, and on the other hand, his eyes fell on Zhao Mingde's back.

"The eastward retreat is an order from General Huan, and as a battalion commander, I will naturally stick to the ......" It seemed that he saw Xie Xiaoman's absent-mindedness, Huo Qiwei frowned slightly, and followed Xie Xiaoman's gaze to look back, but he didn't find anything abnormal, "Lord Xie......"

"It's okay, the first time I saw such a march, I thought it was a little remarkable." Xie Xiaoman retracted his gaze and smiled slightly, "Master Huo is really well-trained. ”

"Don't dare, it's all the credit of General Huan and all of you." Huo Qi hugged his fists respectfully.

Huo Qi is not a reckless person, and a person with that personality is not suitable to be a general. is like Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in real history, Zhang Fei is a typical representative of courage and resourcefulness, but in "Three Kingdoms", Uncle Luo made a reckless and straightforward character.

Huo Qi's temperament is somewhat similar to that of a brave and resourceful person, but compared with the famous generals in history, it is one level lower.

But this is enough for him to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, and enough for him to treat a character of Xie Xiaoman's status without being humble, arrogant, rude or aggressive, and he can do all of this just right.

Xie Xiaoman looked at Huo Qi and felt that this person was very unusual, whether it was EQ or IQ, he must be much smarter than himself.

Inexplicably, he felt Xie Xiaoman's appreciative eyes, and even Huo Qi himself was shocked, and quickly lowered his head and coughed twice, changing the topic: "Lord Xie, you just said that there is smoke and dust in the west......"

"Yes, there is, but I don't know the art of war, and I don't know much about your General Huan's military orders. It's just that I saw it from afar, so I came over to say it. As for how to deal with it, it is naturally a matter for Lord Huo. Xie Xiaoman nodded.

Huo Qi took a new look at the west, it was still the same as it was, quiet, desolate, vast, full of wetlands and reeds, quiet flowing water, and there was no smoke and dust in sight.

"Well, thank you, sir, it's just about the specific things about the march, and I still have to discuss it with my subordinates." Huo Qi arched his hand at Xie Xiaoman.

"Good. Then don't delay Lord Huo. Xie Xiaoman smiled faintly and made a gesture of please.

Of course, she could see that Huo Qi didn't trust her, which was not something infuriating, and no one was obligated to trust an almost complete stranger. At this point, Xie Xiaoman is very open.

Huo Qi turned over and got on his horse, thought about it for a while, and said to Xie Xiaoman: "Lord Xie, since there is already the color of smoke and dust over there, you might as well act with our army?" Otherwise, the sword has no eyes and will inevitably be injured. ”

Xie Xiaoman smiled when he heard this, thanked and politely refused.

Seeing this, Huo Qi no longer persuaded him, the invitation on his face was just a courtesy that had to be done, and of course he didn't have the idea of bringing a woman to the camp. What's more, this Xie Xiaoman is General Huan's woman again.

If Xie Xiaoman really had an accident, in Huo Qi's opinion, this would not be a good thing.

The army has long complained about this woman's entry and exit, and this Xie Xiaoman is different from the Xia Hua girl after all. That Xia Hua girl is a divine doctor given by God, but what about this Xie Xiaoman? Except for adding a bit of absurd notoriety to General Huan, it has no effect.

It's really ...... It's not a pity to die.

Huo Qi thought so in his heart, of course, he wouldn't show it like this.

Like all iron-blooded sergeants, he held the reins in his hand, saluted Xie Xiaoman with a fist, turned around and rode away.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves sounded in his ears and gradually disappeared, Xie Xiaoman looked at the endless queue in front of him as if there was no end in sight, and raised his hand to brush the broken hair next to his ear.

……

……

"Someone, call the scout behind the mat." As soon as Huo Qi returned to the camp, he called the herald.

The herald immediately complied, and the pegasus galloped backwards, and after about a stick of incense, the centurion who commanded the scouts galloped over.

"My lord! What do you command? ”

Huo Qi gestured, asked the centurion to lean closer to the outside of the team, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on behind?" ”

The centurion shook his head and replied, "I have let the three-way scouts return from time to time, without interruption. So far, there has been no movement. My lord, what's wrong? ”

Even the centurion felt a little strange, Lord Huo had never been a suspicious person, and it was really strange that he would take the initiative to ask today.

Huo Qi frowned slightly and glanced back.

Their team had gone far away, but Xie Xiaoman's figure had remained in place and had never moved.

There, Xie Xiaoman's figure had shrunk into a very small black dot, which made it difficult to see.

It's just that that woman doesn't seem to have the need to deceive herself?

"It's okay, let the brothers cheer up, don't miss the big thing." Huo Qi looked at the terrain around him, "If there is an encounter here and the enemy is attacked on the back, we must be weak." ”

"Yes! Subordinates have orders! "The centurion should be solemn.

Huo Qi nodded and waved him back to the team.

After beating the horse and walking forward for a while, Huo Qi still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The years of war have given him some animal-like keen sense of smell, but now, Huo Qi can't be sure what caused his current suspicions.

"Herald!" Huo Qi frowned and called, "Send an order to the forward troops, speed up!" Don't delay! Get out of this estuary as soon as possible! ”

"Whoa!"

At this moment, the centurion of the scouts had not had time to ride back to the camp, and in a scout squad on the old road to the west, several experienced scouts were talking and laughing.

The reeds swayed and swayed slightly with the breeze, and the sound of rustling muffled the footsteps, which was a good time for a surprise attack.

With the release of a cold arrow, a faint bloody aura began to float in midair, and the scout fell off his horse and plunged into the water next to the wetland.

The color of the river gradually changed, at first it was a fresh pale pink color, and then it became more and more vivid, and it looked like a woman's wedding dress.

The fish in the river were jubilant, scrambling to swallow the sweet taste...... (To be continued......)
