NO.6 Drum Horn Mud Pill (II)
3
In the early morning of the 25th, when the rain stopped, Yuan Xian seemed to get up very early because of his heart, although his eyes were unbearable, but his brain was not slack. Although there was no rain, the road was still muddy, and the march was twenty-five miles by noon.
The army rested and ate in the open area, eating the dry food left over from the morning and some dried dried meat and pickles. Marching in the mud and rain requires a lot of physical strength, although the tea is coarse and the food is light, but the whole army eats a lot, but this does not include Yuan Xian.
"Why doesn't the general eat anymore?" Seeing that Yuan Xian only ate half of the cake and didn't move a piece of ham, Mo Huan was a little worried.
After listening to the questioning, Yuan Xian glanced at the smoky but chewy ham again, and still couldn't raise his interest, so he said, "Why don't you come?" I don't seem to have a good rest, I don't have much appetite. ”
Mo Huan shook his head, "I seem to have heard the general get up at night last night. She said this, but her eyes didn't really seem to leave the ham on the side.
"Hmm...... But you haven't stopped snoring, can you know what I'm doing? ”
"I can still feel it."
Yuan Xian smiled and handed the ham over. Mo Huan was a little shy, but she still took the ham, after all, there were only a pitiful two jerkys in her meal. In order to simulate the real-world situation, the production of crops and the production and storage of food are very realistic, so a large army like Shuoguo, although it dominates one side, has always been difficult to fill up due to years of war.
Mo Huan just wanted to move his mouth, and remembered something, so he took out the dagger and divided the ham in two, and then took the coarse paper wrapped in dry food on the side, wrapped one carefully, and stuffed the opening very tightly, and then handed it back to Yuan Xian. "If you're hungry for a while, you can eat on the road."
As if stunned for a moment, Yuan Xian took the ham and smiled back with a friendly smile. "How do you feel like you're hungry all the time?"
"No, but I eat a lot." Mo Huan was satisfied, so he untied his armor and prepared to move his mouth.
"Eat and eat, don't disarm!"
Seeing Yuan Xian's serious look, Mo Huan was a little frightened, and he was stunned and fastened his armor tightly. Yuan Xian suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, calmed down and added: "I haven't seen any trace of the enemy army for a few days, if I slack off first, I will be in the middle of it." ”
Mo Huan nodded, "What do you say Dai Ying and the gang are doing now?" ”
"If I were him, I would probably be looking for a way to deal with Zhong Li."
"What are the generals worried about, don't they all say that General Zhong is the number one general in Jiangbei."
Yuan Xian frowned, "No matter how powerful a general is, he can't resist the slightest supply." When he set out on the expedition, he only took the rations he needed for a few days, and he arrived in Liucheng, if Dai Ying had expected the enemy first, he probably wouldn't be able to find any supplies. She looked at Mo Huan and nodded his head paradoxically, and knew that she had not experienced the siege of the city, so she didn't say more.
There was no word for a moment, and suddenly the wind tightened, and for a while the yellow leaves and the tide of the sea rang together. The two of them looked up at the sky together, and saw that the northwest was like ink dyeing.
"Herald the march." Yuan Xian gave orders to the side.
Mo Huan patted his ass and got up. "Eh, it's always in such a hurry."
"One more step is one more step, don't complain."
"I'm fine, it's terrible that if it goes on like this, the soldiers can't bear it."
Yuan Xianben's deep and slightly gloomy eyes rippled like a lake, and she paused for a moment and said: "There are many NPCs, and there are no more than 500 real players, not to mention that they all know that it is urgent to reinforce Zhong Li." And now that you and I have arrived in Liucheng, we also know that Zhong Li led the troops eastward, but it is still unknown when we will find it. How can you still take care of a little? ”
On that day, they went out twenty miles more.

At night of this day, Yuan Xian led his headquarters to stay in a small town in the mountains, and 15,000 people were distributed within a radius of six or seven miles. At this time, the former army had already passed through the coast and entered the hilly area, and Yuan Qizhi's Chinese army followed closely behind, which should be twenty or thirty miles away, but these twenty or thirty miles are now nearly a day's journey.
After a day of running and not having enough rest last night, Yuan Xian went to bed early. I don't want a strong wind to blow in the middle of the night, and a loose window is crackling somewhere. Therefore, after waking up, Yuan Xian tossed and turned, and the more he knew that he needed to get up early to march tomorrow, the more he felt extraordinarily energetic.
"Why hasn't the general slept yet?" Mo Huan in the outhouse seemed to hear the movement in the inner room, so he asked softly tentatively. She and Yuan Xian lived in a large family on a high place here, although all the people in the town had been evacuated, but the house was still a little less, so the two still slept in the same room.
"Then I went to sleep." Yuan Xian replied softly, her voice seemed a little hoarse.
The sound of the wind and rain outside the house was a little weaker, or someone had closed the window, and for a while there was only the quiet sound of the rain falling like a hallucination in my head. So much so that Mo Huan tossed and turned a few times after asking, and at the moment whether he was lying on his side or on his side, Yuan Xian understood very clearly.
Mo Huan's breathing gradually became rougher, Yuan Xian sighed slightly, and the sound of breathing became quiet and smooth for a while.
"The rain is really annoying." Yuan Xian then said.
"Noisy general?"
Yuan Xian was speechless for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The march like this is endless." ”
"Now that I have some dirt roads out of the quagmire, I should be able to do it faster. What's more, General Zhong will have no problem. ”
A moment of silence seemed to agree, but it also arrived as if it was suspicious. So Mo Huan turned to ask, "How long have the general and General Zhong known each other?" As soon as the words came out, she felt that she had nothing to say. So when she heard that the reply was seven years, she only seemed to "oh" for a moment, not to mention that she also knew very well that these seven years must refer to this time.
"When we first met, it was a big battle," I didn't expect Yuan Xian to continue the topic by himself, "In Yingchuan." At that time, I had just led the army, so I volunteered to take Yingchuan, and he was the one who defended the city. ”
Seeing that this was an opportunity, Mo Huan asked, "And then?" I heard that he lost that time. ”
"He didn't lose, he only lost his legion." Yuan Xian seemed to moisten her lips and then continued: "At that time, I didn't expect it to be a hard battle. Although I was a newcomer, but with the help of the old man, I basically didn't have any opponents at that time, not to mention that Shuoguo's strength was stronger than it is now, I mean the strength ratio. As a result, he took a horse and a knife, and took thousands of people in and out, and no one could stop him. ”
"You can't beat him?"
"For so many years, I have been missing a hand. Back then, there was only one move to drag the knife in thousands of rounds. She thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, it's in the heart, losing in the heart." At that time, it was snowing so hard that I couldn't even see the castle tower, and I just wanted to win it quickly. And in the end, he killed only a hundred and ten people, and he had to go out of the city to face the battle, and finally tried to cut my horse off. I watched him rush straight at me, and the man was immediately covered in blood, and I had a vague feeling that I couldn't beat this man. ”
"Then came ......"
"The old man is here to clean up."
"It still looks like that,"
"It's different." Without waiting for Mo Huan to speak, Yuan Xian grabbed the words and said: "The strength of the old man lies in how many years he has lived, this is enough for him to cultivate into an 'immortal', and Zhong Li is a 'human', he will fail, but he has never admitted defeat, as if if he is here, what a desperate situation, and there is also a glimmer of hope." Seven years ago, Yingchuan was, four years ago Youzhou was, and two years ago Xuzhou was too. ”
"Then why don't you rely on it today?"
Mo Huan's question made Yuan Xian feel as if there was a blood vein opening up, and his heart was a lot more comfortable for a while, but suddenly another cold current rushed back, and the blood in his heart fell.
"I'll be there in a few days after I reply to him, and now how can I break my promise?"
"It's not to break his promise, but to persuade the general to let go of General Zhong." Although Yuan Xian did not deny it, Mo Huan felt that her heart was still hanging, so she wanted to divert the topic. "By the way, what is General Zhong like over there."
"Over there?"
"It's in reality, I'm curious. You see, he's athletic here, not necessarily there, fat or skinny. ”
"No, it's pretty muscular." Yuan Xian hurriedly replied, and then added: "Although it is not like here, it is also considered strong." ”
"So, so. I thought that his body that didn't go offline should be empty. ”
"Integrated stealth module."
"I see. And then? ”
"And then?"
"It's how people are, and ......"
Yuan Xian couldn't think of what to say for a while, so he replied: "Consistently, it should be." ”
Hearing the addition of "should", Mo Huan guessed something, so he asked, "Haven't you two seen it over there?" ”
"I've seen it!" Yuan Xian affirmed.
"A few times."
"One, once."
Fortunately, he was prepared, and Mo Huanfang was able to restrain himself from making any disrespectful sound after receiving such an answer.
But Yuan Xian still felt something. "Just once, so what?"
"No, I want to find out what kind of relationship you have with General Zhong, in this case, the two of you are just ...... here" Mo Huan tentatively wanted to find out how good Yuan Xian and Zhong Li were. Seeing that although Yuan Xian didn't open her mouth to deny it, she seemed to be hesitant to say something, she was a little surprised: "Could it be that you are real?" ”
"What's the difference?" Yuan Xian's voice seemed a little annoyed, "How many times have you been over there now?" ”
"But it's still ......" Mo Huan wanted to say something different, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and sighed instead: "But that's not bad, I really envy the two, especially General Zhong." ”
Yuan Xian was about to say something about this, when suddenly a drum sounded from a distance. She thought it was someone who accidentally moved the snare drum, but the ensuing drum beat made her understand it completely.

"There's an enemy attack!"
Yuan Xian exclaimed, rolled over from the bed, lifted the steel gun and broke out of the door.
Although Mo Huan didn't react as violently as Yuan Xian, the drumbeat still made her heart thump. She sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, thinking that it would be too late to put on armor like this, so she got up and took her own blade first. When he was about to go out, he saw that Yuan Xian's armor was also on the shelf, so he hesitated for a moment and then brought it again before chasing Yuan Xian.
The guards also ran out of each house one after another, some only carrying weapons, some wearing armor while running, and when they saw Yuan Xian standing on the dirt bag outside the back door of the courtyard, they lined up with him in turn. Most of the town could be seen on the dirt bag, and there were several fires outside the town, and the sound of the snare drum came from these directions.
"What should I do?" Mo Huan Tijia ran to Yuan Xian's side in small steps.
Yuan Xian stretched out his arms and motioned for his armor. She stared at the firelight for a moment, then looked around, but the dim darkness of the night in the rain could only reveal some dim flames. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and although the snare drums were blowing, the sound of the horses' hooves splashing could still be heard.
"Report!" The sound rang out from afar. Then a man and a horse came out of the darkness and hurried the reins in front of the crowd.
"General, there are several encounters with enemy troops in the north of the town."
"How many?"
"Not yet identified."
Yuan Xian glanced at the firelight again, "Explore again!" ”。
The sound of horses' hooves was hurried into the night.
"General," helping to put on her armor, Mo Huan raised her head, and she found that Yuan Xian's originally crystal eyes were burning with the same flames in this night, and the slender hands holding the steel spear were also bruised. "How?"
"Prepare your horses, kill me with me!"
