A few days later, Su Jian and Zhou Liang, who hastily withdrew from Liangdang City, originally led more than 10,000 Jiannandao soldiers left, and the rest of the people scattered and fled because they couldn't bear the hunger and cold all the way and Li Jian's light cavalry behind them.

Although Su Jian and Zhou Liang still have more than 10,000 people under their command, the two of them can't cheer up at all, because nearly half of their more than 10,000 people are injured, and nearly one percent of them are still seriously injured. The originally soft steamed bun can almost knock a gap in the teeth when you bite into it.

At this time, many people hope that God will continue to rain on them, so that at least they can use steamed buns to catch some rain, although it is still cold and tasteless, but at least they can chew and swallow it, and slightly relieve some of the pain caused by hunger.

In the evening of that day, on the edge of a dense forest, Su Jian and Zhou Liang led people to rest here temporarily. After Su Jian got off the horse, he sat down against a tree, took out the last piece of bread on his body from his arms, glanced at Zhou Liang beside him, and ruthlessly tore off a piece with his hands and threw it over, and said to Zhou Liang dejectedly: "General Zhou, we can't go on like this, you have to think of a way!" ”

"Well, don't worry, general!" Zhou Liang nodded in response, and took a bite on the piece of cake that Su Jian threw him, and suddenly felt like he was biting on a piece of wood, he tilted his head and tore it to the side vigorously before he could bite off a small piece, moisten it with saliva in his mouth before chewing it hard, and then turned his head to look at Su Jian and said: "I have already sent people to investigate when I set off, and I just got the news that there is a small city called Gucheng County in front, although it is under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong Mansion, but the city wall has few short soldiers, according to intelligence, there are only five hundred defenders!" We only need to rest here for one night temporarily, and set off for Gucheng at dawn tomorrow, with more than 10,000 people now, it is easy to take Gucheng, and then we will have supplies, and we will hold the city for two days, and after our soldiers have a little rest, abandon the city and go straight to Chengdu! ”

After listening to Zhou Liang's words, Su Jian looked down at the dry and hard dough in his hand again, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, nodded slightly and sighed: "Hey! That's all there is to it for now! After all, there's no better way! ”

"Yes! Ay! Zhou Liang glanced up at the sunset on the horizon, let out a long sigh, and then began to lower his head and tear the dough in his hand vigorously.

The night gradually occupied the entire sky, and the darkness also brought endless fear to the Jiannan Dao soldiers who were resting here, and many soldiers with low mental endurance could even shout in their sleep: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! Then he suddenly woke up, sat up from the ground, clenched the war knife in his hand, and swung it twice to his side, and then he understood his true situation, wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and continued to curl up and lie on the cold ground and continue to sleep.

More than 10,000 Jiannan Dao soldiers were like this, some resting in the woods, some resting in the bare wilderness, lying or sitting, but even so, they still maintained a tense state of nerves in their sleep, which was also caused by Li Jian's endless pursuit of them in the past few days.

Not far away, in a small wood, a flock of crows gathered, and the faint smell of decay from the wounds of the wounded soldiers gathered the flock of birds that were looking for food by smell, as if they were waiting for something to be enjoyed.

Through the woods, you can still see some bright spots from time to time in the faint moonlight, which are the points of light reflected by the crow's eyes. From time to time, a short and rough cry would come from there, which made the soldiers resting in the wilderness even more worried, and some people who couldn't sleep would look over there with the sound, and occasionally a few people with good eyesight would see the flickering bright spots there, and their hearts would not help but chuckle, and even a layer of cold sweat would ooze from the surface of their bodies in an instant.

Zhou Liang is asleep now, leaning in front of a big tree, his hand on the side of the war knife deeply inserted in the ground, there are still some dried blood stains left on the war knife, at this time Zhou Liang is snoring like thunder, which also makes it difficult for Su Jian on the side to sleep.

"Hey!" Su Jian let out a long sigh, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife on the side, and slowly stood up, and when he got up, a light sound from the battle armor on his body also woke up some of the surrounding soldiers, and after everyone saw that the sound was made by Su Jian, they weakly lowered their eyelids and continued to sleep.

Su Jian slowly walked out of the woods, took advantage of the moonlight to look at the soldier figure in front of him, and shook his head with a sad face, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that things would come to this point, he felt a little choked when he thought of eating the unpalatable dough not long ago, if it weren't for the hungry stomach, he wouldn't have eaten a bite.

A gust of night wind blew, Su Jian couldn't help but shudder, he was even more awake when he was not sleepy, and then a terrible cry sounded from the woods not far away, Su Jian turned his head to look over, frowned slightly, and secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to do a good deed for everyone, and then raised his feet and walked towards the woods where the crow flock stopped.

And at this time, less than a mile away from the book where Zhou Liang and the others were resting, a group of people in dark red armor slowly appeared in the night, everyone had an evergreen triangular maple badge on their right arm that was comfortable for their eyes, and the right arm of the leader was a ruby red pentagonal maple badge.

This group of soldiers of the Feng Family Army who suddenly appeared was the ghost legion that received an order to block the Jiannan Dao soldiers led by Su Jian, and the first person was Tian Teng, the commander of the ghost legion, and he was also the second big boss of Ziyun Mountain.

This group of regular troops composed of bandits has never been known to outsiders, let alone Su Jian, and even many high-level officials in Shannan Province don't know that the Fengjia Army still has such a legion.

"Big boss! It's all done, they're all asleep! A soldier quietly lurked near Tian Teng from the side and whispered, and his bright eyes could be seen constantly rolling in the night.

"Phew! How many times have I said it! Damn! Call me a general in the future, don't call me a big boss! Tian Teng didn't pay attention to his report, but turned around and slapped the top of the man's bare head, making a crisp sound, and at the same time turned his head and scolded the man with wide eyes.

"Yes, yes! Dadang. No, General! After the man was slapped, he covered his head with his hand, looked at Tian Teng with an aggrieved face, and blurted out again, but after seeing Tian Teng's murderous gaze, he immediately reacted and changed his words.
