This trip to escort Feng Ang back to Gaozhou, but Lin Sen and the 1,000 elite soldiers under him were tossed miserably, and the road was walked for several months, and the distance was originally very far, almost more than 4,000 miles away, plus the road was difficult to travel, and there were all kinds of non-combat attrition, it can be said that they have gone through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.

If it weren't for Lin Sen taking the lead everywhere, I am afraid that there would be a lot of complaints in the team, and it would be too difficult to go.

In Jiangbei, it is better, and most of the land is flat, and the speed of riding a horse is still very guaranteed.

But once the Yangtze River is dangerous, after entering the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not like that, from time to time it has to experience a baptism of continuous rain, and the road becomes a slippery and muddy, with many potholes.

There were even a few mudslides, and if it hadn't been for the bad omen found earlier, Lin Sen would have almost been buried in it.

No matter how high your ability is, you are blind in the face of the power of nature, and what you can count on is more luck than experience and vigilance.

Even though the large army hid, there were still a few unlucky soldiers who were buried inside, and they couldn't dig out when they saw that they were gone.

It wasn't until I really entered the Lingnan realm that I understood what it meant to be difficult to move an inch.

Because of the miasma and the fact that the water and soil are not adapted, diarrhea has become a common occurrence for the whole team.

If it weren't for Lin Sen, who knew that he might face such a situation, he would have prepared the corresponding medicines with him, and he also added some when he passed through various state capitals, and sometimes he would also use local materials.

After all, he distinguishes the level of drugs and medicinal properties, and now he is unparalleled in the world, and even Sun Simiao has to bow to the wind, which does not let these environmental factors, which are originally the most lethal and most likely to cause large-scale attrition, really exert their power.

It is also because of this that Lin Sen has been accepted and even revered by everyone in the whole team from the bottom of his heart.

He is almost equivalent to saving the lives of everyone in the team, and even Feng An's subordinates have received Lin Sen's favor, so his subordinates will naturally unite around him.

But it is not only these that can kill people on the Lingnan side, even if they temporarily overcome the problem of water and soil adaptation, there are also many enthusiastic local creatures who have sent their own welcome.

What poisonous snakes and beasts, poisonous insects and leeches, they have not seen less.

The key is that these things are very hidden, and often when their traces are discovered, someone has already been tricked. There were dozens of people in the ranks who died or were left in the ranks.

Although Lin Sen also prepared drugs to repel snakes and insects, because of the rain and the sweat caused by the stuffy weather, it is always easy to wash away the smell of these drugs, and if they are not replenished in time, they will definitely not be able to effectively protect them.

I can't stand it, there are those poisons that don't play cards according to common sense, jumping down from trees to attack, and biting directly to the neck.

It's really a poisonous one, and I don't have time to treat it. Those who can find out about being bitten in time and make up their minds to cut off their hands and feet to save their lives are considered lucky.

After entering the Lingnan range, the horses they rode were actually rarely able to play a role, and most of the time they could only lead them.

The woods are too dense, and most of these thugs are tall, and they are really on horses, and they have to be knocked away by the branches after walking a few steps.

So they are basically used to carry military supplies, dry food and clean water sources are still indispensable, even if they will be replenished every time they go to a state capital, but the consumption in the middle is really a lot.

This is due to the fact that before entering Lingnan, he wisely abandoned the burden of the carriage.

In fact, after entering Jiangnan, it was often necessary for soldiers to carry the carriage out of the pit hand in hand. If it weren't for the humanoid crane like Brother Xiong, I am afraid that the carriage would have been abandoned directly on the road many times.

However, the horses in the north obviously can't adapt to the environment in Lingnan, and there are not a few who die of illness along the way.

The most disgusting thing was that one of the soldiers, along with his war horse, was directly eaten alive by leeches, and in the end his own people gave him an arrow, which relieved him, and of course, he burned all the forest for him to be buried.

But the tragic death still lingered in everyone's minds, making all the soldiers depressed for a while.

And probably limited by the population of the south, and the cruel natural environment, a large area of mountains and forests have not yet been developed, and the dangers buried in the wilderness are not only all kinds of poisons, but also a lot of fierce beasts.

Lions, tigers, leopards, wolves or jackals are not to say, I don't know how many people come to sneak attack in the middle of the night. The most unexpected thing for Lin Sen was the crocodile.

Lin Sen, who was born in the north, and his soldiers, really hadn't seen this thing alive before.

Even if Lin Sen was on Lancôme's side, he had seen a lot of crocodile skins, but those dead things would not bite people, but they brought Lin Sen a lot of money, but when he really saw a live crocodile, the mood was not so beautiful.

A team of soldiers finally found a water source that looked relatively clean, and wanted to replenish some water, even if people couldn't drink it directly, it was good to let the war horses drink a few sips, and it was not only people who were prone to dry mouth, but the war horses walked and sweated much more than they originally did.

But a few pieces of driftwood-like things, before they could fully stand by the river, burst out, and a big guy directly clamped the belly of the war horse.

After the terrifying bite force was implemented, a death roll followed, and the half-pulled body of the war horse was directly taken away.

The soldier next to him was unlucky, his thigh fell into the mouth of another crocodile, and under the rolling of death, even the thigh of the bison could not carry it, let alone a person, and before he could exclaim, the originally thick thigh left his body.

The gushing blood made the crocodiles behind even more excited, and a few of them rushed directly to the shore, dragging the soldier into the water, and disappeared directly with a miserable cry all the way.

A backward crocodile failed to bite it, but instead bit on the paw of the same kind next to it, and habitually rolled over with death, so he pulled the crocodile leg off and swallowed it without hesitation.

The unlucky crocodile, after a long time, reacted, its claws were gone, moved to the side, and continued to devour the remains of the war horse very indifferently.

After Lin Sen and the others heard the scream, they rushed over, and without saying a word, they picked up the armor-piercing cone, and nailed all the crocodiles they could see there.

It is difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate their thick, armor-like skin, and they are pierced directly by armor-piercing cones.

And there was another bloody scene in the water, probably stimulated by blood, those crocodiles that were killed directly became the food that other crocodiles scrambled for, that is, half a minute of effort, they were eaten up by the same kind, and the scene was really terrifying.

Before they could hit the dead fellow on the shore, the two brothers, after receiving Lin Sen's signal, directly dragged the big guy farther away, cut open his stomach, confirmed that it had only eaten some horse meat, and simply carried the big crocodile back to the temporary camp.

Lin Sen has also heard of the delicacy of this crocodile for a long time, but in his previous life, even if it was a large-scale farmed one, if he wanted to eat this thing, you didn't want to see it without tens of thousands of yuan, and Lin Sen definitely didn't have a chance to taste it. Now it's time to feel the smell of it, and it can be regarded as avenging the unfortunate soldier.

Lin Sen cooked the crocodile dish with his own hands, tried it with Feng An, and found that it was indeed as delicious as rumored, and the soldiers also got some of it to improve the food.

In the future, when they encounter a suitable target, the soldiers are not only no longer afraid, but often hunt and make additional meals.

Of course, the crocodile skin is not wasted, it is cut down as completely as possible, and after a simple treatment, it becomes Lin Sen's trophy, and it is good to go back and use it as leather goods.

Just like this, he walked forward with great difficulty in the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at Feng An's old nest Gaozhou.
