Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 273 The Land of Swamps
Xu Xiang followed the sound and looked back, only to see that the team behind him was already in a mess, and several people were pulling hard around a person, and that person was getting deeper and deeper.
"It's over, swamp!" A hint of malice flashed through his mind, he should have warned everyone to pay attention to the swamp a long time ago, but at first he thought that it was just this heavy rain that had wet the soil, but he didn't expect that under these weeds was actually a swamp.
The man was getting deeper and deeper, and many of the people behind him were stuck in the swamp.
"Stop! All stopped! Don't pull him! Xu Xiang shouted loudly, "Everyone stop where they are, don't go any more!" ”
Hearing Xu Xiang's words, everyone stopped, and the few people who fell into the swamp fell deeper and deeper, and soon reached the place where their necks were, and their breathing was a little difficult.
In addition, it was raining, and the rain hit their faces, and their faces turned pale.
"What should I do?" Xu Xiang looked left and right, trying to find something that could save them, but he found anything.
"Eat human mud! Eat human mud! When the mud covered the heads of those people, they lost their lives, and the people around them became more and more panicked, and panic and anxiety haunted their hearts.
They didn't know that the place they were in was a swamp, but they felt like they were surrounded by cannibalistic dirt.
So the people who had just been stopped by Xu Xiang and calmed down were panicked, and many people fled in all directions, but no one could escape the swamp.
Seeing that nearly 100 people had fallen into the swamp, everyone was helpless.

Xu Xiang's heart was also very anxious, he guessed that most of the people had already entered the scope of the swamp, and the people who had walked before had stepped on the dirt and weeds covered by the surface of the swamp, so they were not swallowed by the swamp. But as more and more people walked by, the soil and weeds covering the surface of the swamp had become soft, and they naturally touched the swamp layer.
His gaze was at the end of the line, where was the baggage team and the five hundred men who had been broken.
The situation on their side was fine, and they did not enter the swampy area.
Seeing the carts of grain and grass, a bold idea suddenly occurred in his heart.
So he shouted, "Stop me, don't move where you are!" I have a way!"
Hearing Xu Xiang's words, everyone calmed down a little, but instead there were some low sobs.
The rain was pouring down, Xu Xiang simply ripped off his coat and hat, and shouted to the end of the team: "Jing Shu!" Jing Shu: Can you hear what I say? ”
Jing Shu in the back responded loudly, "Instructor Xu, I can hear it!" Say it! ”
"Order the baggage team, spread all the food, supplies, tents, and bedding on the grass, and everyone step on it and come over!"
I don't know how wide and long this swamp is, and now the dirt and weeds on the surface of the swamp have become soft, which means that this swamp has been resurrected.
It is impossible to cross this swamp because the grain, grass and supplies are so heavy, it is better to use it as a tiptoe, and then spread a quilt on it, so that due to the tension, it can pass completely.
"Huh?" Jing Shu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to throw away all the grain, grass and materials, which made Jing Shu unacceptable.
Yang Dianfeng stood behind Xu Xiang and also persuaded, "Young Master, we can't lose the grain, grass and materials, if we lose it, we will have no food!" ”
"That's the only way to do it at the moment!" Xu Xiang said, and then shouted at Jing Shu: "Do what I say!" ”
"No! Master! ”
"No, instructor! We can't afford to throw away food! What do we eat without food? "As soon as the soldiers heard that the grain was to be spread on it, they all objected!
Xu Xiang roared angrily, "Shut up!" Do as I say! The food is gone, we can find another way! But you only have one life! I can't let you die here! ”
"I, Xu Changsha, promise! As long as we can all make it out of here alive! I will definitely find a way to solve it! I promise that as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never starve everyone! Trust me! ”
After all, Xu Xiang has the highest right to speak, he said so, Jing Shu had no choice but to order the baggage team to spread the grain on the swamp.
Seeing the white grains spread on the dirt floor, some soldiers couldn't help but grab a handful of uncooked rice and stuff it into their mouths.
When others saw this, they followed suit! Because they feel that if they lose their food, they will starve to death even if they make it out alive.
It's also good to fill your stomach with something before starving to death.
"Shut up! Stop! Can't eat! Can't eat! "When Xu Xiang saw it, this is okay, not to mention that eating raw rice is not good for your health, all of you eat the grain one bite at a time, then he will pave a hammer road!
After all, it was his insistence that the soldiers had to stop, and this road, paved with food and supplies, was getting longer and longer.
Eventually, it reached his feet, and he said to the back, "The last one to pass, remember to take the quilt back!" ”
In this way, under the guidance of Xu Xiang, they paved the road step by step, and the team moved slowly in the heavy rain.
In the end, there was no food, so I had to use quilts to spread it, and there was no end in sight on the grass that was more than one person high.
They had walked at least two miles, and the rain had gradually stopped, but none of them knew where the swamp ended.
Everyone's hearts are full of worries, whether they will get out of this meadow alive, no one knows.
Xu Xiang's heart also began to be anxious, and their group was covered with filth, and with a depressed expression, they tore a crack in the vast grass.
"I can't go on like this forever!" Xu Xiang said in his heart, the soldiers who had eaten breakfast early had exhausted their physical strength, and their stomachs were empty, so they had to find a place to rest as soon as possible.
"How much more food?" Xu Xiang asked Yang Dianfeng on the side.
In addition to the food of the baggage team, each of the soldiers carried some dry food with him, but it was not much, and he could only eat one meal by himself.
Although the grain was sprinkled on the swamp, some meat remained.
"Young master, we don't carry much meat, and the total is less than a hundred catties. There is no food other than meat. Yang Dianfeng said worriedly.
"Divide the jerky! Let's save some stamina! He said.
"Yes!" After Yang Dianfeng finished speaking, he came to the end of the team and discussed the matter of dividing meat with Jing Shu.
"Spear!" As soon as Xu Xiang's hand stretched out, a soldier behind him skillfully handed over his spear, and along the way, Xu Xiang kept trying to see if they had come out of the swamp, and he became the person who held the gun specifically for Xu Xiang.
He took the spear and plunged it into the dirt in front of him, inserting it very easily.
A flash of disappointment flashed in his heart: he hadn't gotten out of the swamp yet!
However, although he was still in the confines of the swamp, he felt that the soil here seemed to be slightly tighter than before.
"Could it be that we have reached the edge of the swamp?" He thought, and went on again, trying several times.
"Sure enough!" He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was better than being in the middle of a swamp.
However, it's not entirely certain that this is the edge of the swamp, what if it's just because the rain has stopped and the soil has become a little thicker?
After eating something casually, the team continued on their way.
At dusk, Xu Xiang tried countless times in a row, and the spear finally couldn't be easily inserted into the soil, and now he finally put his mind at ease.
After all, they walked out of this swamp.
"We're coming out!" Xu Xiang announced loudly.
The soldiers who were still walking on the quilt heard Xu Xiang's words, and their eyes showed a look of joy.
They walked forward quickly, came to Xu Xiang's side, and tried to step on the weeds with their feet, the soil under their feet was very solid, which was a sense of solidity that they hadn't felt for a long time.
They tried to stomp their feet on the weeds, but found that they were not stuck in the dirt.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and all of them excitedly stepped on the ground, or jumped, or rolled on the grass, and there was a sense of euphoria for the rest of their lives.
Xu Xiang sat on the grass with his ass, and the taut strings were finally released.
"Young Master, we're finally coming out!" Yang Dianfeng walked over, sat beside him, and said.
"Hmmm! We're finally out there!" The corners of Xu Xiang's mouth also showed a smile of relief.
"Then let's gather and quickly pass through the meadow, right?"
"It's okay, let's rest in place. It's not getting early, so let's rest on this grass tonight, and when we've had enough energy, we'll set off tomorrow. ”
Although there is no food, tents and quilts for camping, there are weeds that do not burn.
After resting for half an hour, Xu Xiang ordered everyone to cut down the nearby weeds, light the weeds, and make ten bonfires.
The temperature at night was very low, and there were no tents or quilts, so they had to weave weeds and make simple quilts.
"Goo-goo!" The fire was on, most of the people were hungry, their dry food had been eaten, and the jerky had been eaten, and they had nothing left.
Everyone looked at the bonfire, hungry, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while.
Xu Xiang can't see this! Tomorrow, we need to quickly pass through this meadow with the best posture and reach Guyuan City as soon as possible.
He sighed and said to Yang Dianfeng, "Old Yang, you go and call all the people above the platoon commander level." ”
Since they were trained in the way of later generations, Xu Xiang had already divided the two thousand men into two regiments, one of which was the spear regiment and the other was the knife regiment, and the configuration of each regiment was 1,000 people.
The regiment was also divided into battalion, company, and platoon squads.
Nearly forty people came over, surrounded the bonfire beside Xu Xiang, and looked at him with a very low expression.
Even these leaders are in such a state, and the state of other ordinary soldiers is even more unoptimistic.
He couldn't let this state continue like this any longer, Jing Shu took them without saying a word, quietly waiting for him to speak first.
Xu Xiang reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Sit down." ”
They did not respond and sat down quietly.
