Chapter 40: The Road Is Difficult
Chapter 40 The Road is Difficult
It is about 600 kilometers from Anshi City to Kaekyung, and now this generation belongs to the territory of Goryeo, and the civil strife in China has been swallowed up by Goryeo sticks, and basically the people who lived here before have been slaughtered.
The route of the army could not hide from the eyes of the Goryeo people at all, and Li Shen had no choice but to slow down the speed of the march, and the long march, even the soldiers who are now strong and strong, could not bear it, and encountered a surprise attack, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties at that time.
What's more, in the summer, the scorching sun is simply not suitable for long-distance marches.
The chirping of insects and birds is noisy, and in the hot summer, the march is on the trail, and the surrounding jungle makes up for it, which is even more stuffy, and this kind of weather is easy to make people tired and irritable.
Sweat adhered to his underwear and clinged to his body, Li Shen sat on the horse and exhaled deeply, reached out and wiped the sweat on his face, the original fair skin had long since ceased to exist after such a long time of running, and it became an indescribable black.
The whole marching army, to say that the most tired is probably the way to explore the spies, they never stop, for the rear comrades to find out the road ahead, the slightest carelessness will end up in the end of the Yellow Spring, basically the work of the spies, in the entire army is the most sacrificial service.
After a long march, coupled with the hot and humid weather, the physical strength of the soldiers also seriously declined, and the originally neat ranks have become messy.
"Dashuai, the corpses of twenty of our spies were found in front, there were traces of a fight at the scene, and there were quite a few people coming, judging from the route they walked, they found something and were chased all the way to here." Qin Huaiyu rode a horse and ran to Li Shen's follower with an expressionless face, and said lightly.
War is the easiest way for a person to grow and change a person, it can witness the fragility of life, a person who was alive and kicking before turned into a cold corpse in the blink of an eye, lying on the ground, and the impact on people was really too great.
Along the way, they encountered a lot of small-scale ambushes, the number of people was not very large, only one or two thousand people, Li Shen also knew that these people wanted to delay their march, but Li Shen was also disgusted by them, and every time they had to sacrifice more than ten or dozens of soldiers' lives, they were completely desperate to attack them.
If you want to say that the fastest growth, I am afraid that it is these gentlemen, the baptism of blood, which makes them even more silent.
Li Shen sighed and said, "Where is it?" ”
"Right ahead." Qin Huaiyu replied lightly.
Surrounded by low bushes, the most suitable place to ambush a small number of people, Li Shen looked at it, sighed again, and under the protection of a group of guards, he jumped off the horse, feeling a little bitter in his heart, 10,000? In this situation, it is really difficult for him to guarantee victory by sacrificing 10,000 men.
He didn't expect the war to be so difficult, these geniuses walked half the distance, and there was still half the distance from the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyong, and this half of the distance was probably more than the sacrifice of Anseong.
Stepping over the low bushes, walking a distance of almost twenty meters, the eyes were slightly opener, and there were the corpses of more than twenty spies lying messily on the ground, the corpses had been slightly decomposed, and there were flies flying around, and some of the bodies were crawling with many tiny maggots, quickly devouring the corpses.
Li Shen glanced at them, closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Let's take them forward, remember their names, and when this battle is over, Ben Shuai will ask for credit for them." ”
Soon a big pit was dug up, and the corpses were carefully carried in, Li Shen stood at the edge of the pit, looked at them, and said lightly: "You didn't sacrifice in vain, at least you also passed on a message to your brothers, your family will take care of you, you can go with peace of mind, your hatred, this marshal will be repaid by Gaoli a hundred times." ”
Cheng Chumo stood behind Li Shen, glanced at Qin Huaiyu who was standing beside him, bumped it with his arm, and dug his mouth at Li Shen, his eyes were full of a different look.
Qin Huaiyu glared at him fiercely, this idiot is really incurably stupid, he also makes such a small action at this time, and the people around Li Shen, if there is a mouthful in his ears, I don't know what will happen? I can't feel it, is Li Shen cold to him these days?
Li Shen bent down and grabbed the loess on the ground, sprinkled it into the pit, and said, "Brothers, go all the way. ”
Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Shen who turned to leave, stretched out his hand to grab Cheng Chumo, and shouted at Li Shen: "Dashuai, I have something to do with Tie Niu, you go first, we will come over immediately." ”
"Be safe." Li Shen turned his head and said.
Looking at the backs of the disappeared people, Cheng Chumo looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked suspiciously, "Brother Huaiyu, what is the matter?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Qin Huaiyu scolded angrily, and then said, "Tie Niu, are you becoming more and more presumptuous now?" ”
"Brother Huaiyu, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Who is Brother Qian? Although he calls us brothers, don't forget his identity, he does this so that we can get along happily and there will be no estrangement......"
What do you mean by that? What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything, what are you saying to me for? I'm not the same as before. ”
Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "You haven't felt the changes that Brother Qian's has had on you these days?" ”
Looking at Cheng Chumo, who was full of doubts, Qin Huaiyu said a little helplessly: "Brother Qian, who must have known about the conversation between the two of us that day." ”
Cheng Chumo looked at Qin Huaiyu with disbelief on his face, and then said in a low voice: "You said that we talked about it that day, Brother Qian, knew?" ”
looked at Qin Huaiyu and nodded, and then said, "So Brother Qian, he secretly spies on us?" ”
"It's hard to say, since I feel that Brother Qian's treatment of you has changed a little, I have also doubted, but these days, I haven't noticed the slightest trace of being monitored, it is estimated that someone passing by heard our conversation and told Brother Qian."
Cheng Chu took a breath and said, "I'm really scared to death, what did that Wang Ba calf say?" If I knew that I would have tore him, but Brother Huaiyu, why didn't I feel the change that Brother Qian's had done to me? ”
"You're stupid, what can I say you're better? Didn't you feel that Brother Qian's brother didn't let you do anything these days? Qin Huaiyu said angrily.
