Chapter 274: Halfway to the enemy
The grain transport team moved forward slowly, and Xi Chen did not get the task reward.
Is it because the food hasn't been delivered yet?
There is this possibility, but Xi Chen always feels that things are not so simple, and if things are so simple, they cannot be regarded as battlefield side quests.
When Xi Chen walked in the mud, he always felt that he would encounter some problems, and the problems he might encounter next were the real problems.
The team marched for three days, day and night, because they were too slow to get to rest.
Don't say they're tired, so are the horses.
Every time you stop to rest, it's not for them to rest, it's for those horses to rest.
If these horses are not given time to rest, they may die of exhaustion.
The rain stopped, and although it was still cloudy, the situation was much better.
There was no constant rain on the ground, and although it was still potholed and muddy, it was much better.
If there is no rain on the body, people will feel better.
They are a grain transport team, they are not afraid of not having food, there is enough grain and grass, and the horses are well fed.
But there is too much rain these days, and there is no firewood for cooking at all, and Xi Chen and they have been gnawing dry food for a few days.
"Brothers, work hard, in another half a month, we will be able to reach Huijiang City, and then we will have a hot meal to eat."
Lord Liang also led the horse, talking to everyone as he walked.
Whether it is to quench your thirst with plum blossoms, or to draw bread to satisfy your hunger, in short, these words have some effect.
After three more days, the sky cleared and the sun came.
Xi Chen sat on a rock, took off his wet clothes, and dried them for a while.
Everyone is basically doing the same thing, and these wet clothes are really uncomfortable to wear.
But you can't make a fire, no one can make a fire except for cooking.
If you want to make a fire to bake clothes, it is impossible, and fire is a big taboo in the transportation team.
If anyone accidentally ignites the grain, it will be a big problem.
"Get up and go." Someone shouted, and everyone got up and went on.
In the evening, the man who was walking in the front suddenly ran back and shouted in panic: "There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops." ”
Hearing this person's words, all the people present panicked, the enemy army?
They are a team transporting grain, they have no combat effectiveness, and Xi Chen and they don't even have weapons.
Only Lord Liang, with a dozen or so guards, this is all their strength.
When Lord Liang heard the people in front of him shouting that there were enemy troops, he also asked anxiously, "How many people?" ”
"Forty or fifty." The person in front of him said this, which made Lord Liang frown.
Are there many of them?
Actually, it's quite a lot.
There were at least a hundred of them.
But a hundred or so people are useless, there are only so many people who really have combat effectiveness.
Lord Liang immediately shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy, we can't let the enemy kill our horses." ”
If the horses are killed by the enemy, then they will not be able to send food on time.
So at this time, it is necessary to meet the enemy.
These enemy forces, in fact, do not operate in this area.
They came to see if there was a team carrying grain from here.
To put it bluntly, they came to find Xi Chen.
The enemy troops rode horses, not slowly, and quickly rushed over.
Seeing this, Lord Liang shouted, "There are many of us, we will definitely win." ”
Can you win?
There are many of them, but the other party is a soldier who has been on the battlefield, and Xi Chen and they are all people who transport grain.
It is said that it is a soldier, but it is not.
The front-line war is tight, and those who have combat effectiveness are at the front, so how can their grain transport team have any combat effectiveness, and if they have combat effectiveness, will they still come to transport grain?
Although food is very important, it is really not enough personnel that allows recruits like Xi Chen and others to come together.
Xi Chen saw the group of enemy soldiers, they were all strong and powerful, and they were riding horses, and the horses looked even bigger.
They all brandished long knives in their hands and rushed towards them. They came to find Xi Chen and others, and now they found that they naturally wanted to rush up and kill them all.
The enemy army is the country of Jin that fights with them.
"Up." Lord Liang shouted.
The guards, swords, rushed forward.
But when the enemy came on horseback, they could not resist it, and sitting on horseback, they slashed at one of the guards with a single sword.
The flesh and blood are blurred, and many people are afraid to look at it, they all close their eyes.
But it can't go on like this, Xi Chen feels that they have to resist.
Xi Chen shouted: "Kill." ”
Everyone didn't expect that Xi Chen would rush out shouting.
Lord Liang didn't expect it either.
Xi Chen held the firewood knife in his hand and rushed forward.
Xi Chen does not have the ability to kill all these people alone, what Xi Chen can do is to give them hope, let them see hope, and then come to resist.
Holding a firewood knife, Xi Chen rushed up and saw one of them being pulled off the horse by the guards.
Xi Chen didn't give this person a chance to get on the horse, and came up to hug this person's neck.
Xi Chen hugged this person's neck, intending to solve him with a firewood knife.
But this person's strength is very great, Xi Chen was slightly surprised, but Xi Chen's strength is not weak, Xi Chen forcibly controlled him and killed him with a knife.
These Jin countries are outstanding, everyone says that they are barbarians, it seems that this strength is quite barbaric.
Xi Chen's hand rose and fell, and the speed was so fast, not to mention that the people in the Jin Kingdom did not react, and Lord Liang and they did not react.
"Brothers, take up your sword and resist, or we will all die." After Xi Chen killed a person, he still had blood on his body, and turned his head and shouted to the people behind him.
These people picked up the firewood knives, and they knew that if they did not resist, they would indeed die.
Want to die?
No one wants to die.
Following the guards, following Xi Chen, they rushed out.
But the fact that they dare to rush out does not mean that they can defeat these enemy troops.
So Xi Chen must work harder.
The firewood knife in Xi Chen's hand flew out directly, and an enemy soldier on horseback was stabbed in the chest by Xi Chen and fell off the horse.
Xi Chen picked up the big knife on the ground and rushed in.
An enemy soldier brandished a big knife to meet him, their knife skills were very good, and Xi Chen actually suffered a little.
Because Xi Chen doesn't know how to use a knife at all, Xi Chen can only resist and chop, this is all that Xi Chen will do.
But Xi Chen has something else to make up for it, he uses time to capture action people, and then uses high agility to react, adding his strength, Xi Chen is not afraid.
The training of martial arts, at this time, finally came into play.
But Xi Chen is inferior, Xi Chen feels that he can't go on like this, if he goes on like this, he can't kill himself as fast as the other party.
Xi Chen glanced up and saw the leader of the enemy team, Xi Chen felt that he had to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Block a knife with brute force, kick over the enemy, and the broadsword in his hand is merciless.
After Xi Chen eliminated this enemy army, he dragged his long knife and headed towards the enemy leader.
Lord Liang kept looking at Xi Chen, he was also resisting with a knife, he was not a civil official, he was born as a military general.
Lord Liang knew what Xi Chen wanted to do, but he was also worried that Xi Chen, the general of the enemy army, could a recruit deal with it?
