Northwest of the moment, somewhere.

It has been a whole day since Dugu led the main force of the Enterprise Machinery Department to come back to help. This time it was light, and all of them were light cavalry equipped with twin horses (war horses and pack horses). So this cavalry unit led by Dugu moved very fast. It has reached the speed of traveling 100 miles a day. In ancient times, this was quite a terrifying marching speed.

The march of the cavalry is not like in the TV series, where the cavalry gallops all the way on their respective war horses. This is just for the effect of the show, and it is not scientific. If Dugu does this, it is estimated that even if he reaches the Ministry of Enterprise, the war horse will be at least half exhausted. As for the rest of the war horses, if they don't cultivate for a period of time, they will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield.

War horses are living creatures, not machines. War horses have limited physical strength, and can only sprint for a short time, and it is impossible to be in a state of galloping for a long time. In general, in cavalry armies equipped with two horses, the cavalry rode pack horses when marching, and only in time of war would they be replaced by war horses. These pack horses have been carefully fed with fine material like war horses. Both physique and endurance are much lower than war horses. If the speed is increased, these pack horses are more likely to tire to death than war horses.

In general, unless it is a rapid march. Otherwise, there will be no galloping horses during the march. Ordinary cavalry with two horses, they usually rode pack horses and led the horses to trot. Although the speed is much faster than that of ordinary light foot soldiers, it is not as exaggerated as in the TV series. This way of marching the cavalry was actually very scientific during the period of the Two Jin Dynasty. In addition to being able to save the horsepower of the war horse and not let it lose fat. There is also a good role in protecting the hooves of war horses. After all, in this period, horseshoe has not yet come out. If a horse gallops for a long time, the horse's hooves are easily damaged. Once the horse's hooves are badly damaged, the horses are useless.

At this time, Dugu was already anxious in his heart. But he wasn't stupid enough to speed up the march by way of a hasty march. A cavalry march may be suitable for short distances. But if it is maintained for a long time, it is definitely looking for death.

……

"Woohoo!" Du Jie stopped his horse and said anxiously to Du Gu, "Big brother, the scout has found a valley ahead, with steep terrain on both sides and dense forests. Great for ambushes. What do we do now? ”

This time to help the enterprise department, Du Jie asked to be a pioneer in order to atone for his sins. Dugu knew very well that he was the best person to do for his abilities and loyalty. Coupled with Du Jie's desperate insistence, Du Gu also agreed.

"Did someone go in and search for it?" Dugu asked.

"Big brother, I've already sent someone in, but this valley is too big. If you want to search it all, it will take at least four hours! Du Jie replied respectfully. But no one noticed that his hands were shaking at this time.

"Four hours? Absolutely not! Four hours later, it was getting dark. It will seriously affect our itinerary. If you waste these four hours and drag it out until dark. We won't be able to get back to the Enterprise Department before tomorrow evening. Dugu shook his head and said. Although it is possible to march at night, it is clear that the speed of marching at night is far less than that of daytime. Now the situation is critical, and the enterprise department may be breached at any time. Dugu must not be dragged for four hours by a valley suspected of being ambushed.

"Big brother, what are you going to do? The terrain of that stretch of the valley was ideal for ambushes. Once the dog thieves with many bones set up an ambush there. It would be very dangerous for our army to enter without any fear. Du Jie hurriedly reminded. Du Jie's tone was a little excited, with some obvious dissuasion.

In normal times, Dugu might have noticed this, and even noticed Dujer's anomaly. But now Dugu's mind is full of thoughts about how to rush back to the rescue tribe as quickly as possible. thus ignoring Du Jie, who has poor acting skills.

"Brother Jie, don't worry, there is a countermeasure!" Dugu thought that Du Jie was worried about his rash advance, so he said comfortingly.

"What is the countermeasure?" Du Jie asked curiously.

"Sectional pass! Later, the whole army was divided into four teams. Pass through this valley in turn! If something happens to any of the teams. The remaining three teams can go to the rescue. Dugu calmly spoke out his countermeasures. In fact, the best plan is to pass through this valley in groups of fifty people. However, this is too long. The Enterprise Department can't afford to wait, and neither can Dugu. Dugu had no choice but to choose a compromise solution.

And so it was! Du Jie thought to himself.

However, Du Jie still pretended to be surprised on the surface and said: "Big brother, wonderful strategy! Brother is willing to be a striker! ”

"Okay! The first team is in command of you! Dugu nodded in agreement.

Then Dugu continued to instruct: "Remember! When you get there, keep an eye on the lookout and search suspicious areas to prevent enemy attacks! ”

"No!" Du Jie replied immediately.

Du Jie then gave Du Gu a fist salute and turned to leave.

"Also, stay safe! My brother. Just a few steps after Du Jie had taken a few steps, Du Gu gave another command.

After hearing this, Du Jie trembled. I saw him clench his fists, grit his teeth, and squeeze out a smile very hard. He turned around and said to Dugu with a smile, "Thank you for your concern." If something happens later, please evacuate first, and leave me alone. The eldest brother is the hope of the enterprise department! In the end, he chose himself.

Dugu didn't take it seriously, he just thought that Dujay cared about him. He smiled and nodded at Du Jie.

……

Although the valley was relatively long, under the urging of the commanders of each team, the first three teams of the enterprise department still passed through the valley quickly. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Just when Dugu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to arrive at the mouth of the valley with the fourth team. On both sides of the valley, a large number of Xi Gu Duobu Hu people suddenly appeared. At the head is none other than Dugu's most hated enemy. At this time, Dugu also realized that he had been ambushed. The location of the ambush of the many parts of the mat bone is not the best middle of the valley, but the mouth of the valley. Although the terrain at the mouth of the valley is not suitable for ambushes. But that doesn't mean you can't set ambushes. The location of the ambush is not good, but as long as the ambusher is strong enough.

"Old friend, let's meet again! What a hurry! Is it in a hurry to go back to the rescue? Looking at Shesu, who was surrounded by the group, Xi said happily. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Although he paid a great price.

"Xi ...... Division...... Dog...... Thief. Looking at the hippie smiling face, Shesu gritted his teeth and said.

"But it's a pity! The Enterprise Department has been wiped out! Xi Bu ignored Su Su's hideous expression and continued to speak to himself.

"What do you say? How dare you ...... dog thief," Shesu said as he stared at Xi with wide eyes.

"Don't stare at so-and-so all the time, so-and-so will have nightmares. It is a fact that the Ministry of Enterprise has been destroyed. But it wasn't made by me. Xi bubu patted his chest and pretended to be scared.

What Xi said was the truth, and the Enterprise Department was really not destroyed by him. When he led his troops to the enterprise department to prepare to accept the results. The enterprise has been destroyed. He also had a toothache for several days. After all, he has been planning for so many days and paying so much price. In the end, the fruits of victory were plucked.

"Do you think so-and-so will believe your nonsense?" She Su glanced at the subordinates next to him, and then shouted angrily at the seat.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Xi Bu pointed to a person next to him and said with a smile.

"Why?" When he saw that person, Dugu shuddered and seemed to understand everything. That person Hao Ran was Du Jie, who had just disappeared. It was Du Jie who led them into the ambush circle of the many bones. It was Du Jie who betrayed them.

"Big brother, the enterprise department is finished! Our home is finished. Abandon your weapons and surrender! I've promised to let you go. Du Jie said to Du Gu and the others.

"Why?" Dugu didn't answer directly, but stared at Dujie and asked again.

"Big brother, you are not Lord Xibu's opponent, surrender quickly!" Du Jie, who was a little weak-hearted, persuaded him again.

"Why?" Dugu still didn't reply directly, and shouted loudly again.

Du Jie lowered his head and was silent for a moment.

"Because I just want to live!"

……

Human nature in troubled times is like this, and it is more important than anything else to live yourself.
