Chapter 516: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
On the mountain road on the southeast border of Wenzhou Province....
The spring sun is not hot, the sun spreads among the grass and trees seems very warm, and a hare leisurely gnaws on the grass that has just become green in the grass by the roadside.
The hare munched on the grass as he groped his way forward with his head down, and finally stopped in front of a beautiful yellow wild flower. The hare also seemed to notice that the wildflower was very good-looking, and twisted its three-petaled nose to sniff it next to the wildflower.
Suddenly, the rabbit, which was admiring the wildflowers, seemed to notice something, raised its head sharply, then turned and quickly ran into the bushes beside the road, and disappeared in an instant.
A pair of tattered straw sandals ruthlessly stepped the wildflower into the spring mud, followed by one, two... Countless broken shoes trampled down the dirt.
It was a team of more than a thousand people, ragged and ragged, everyone silent, with their heads bowed, marching frantically to the south.
The team was interspersed with dozens of wooden carts, each loaded with goods, and the goods were tightly tied to the wooden carts with gray cloths, among which there were many large ballistae and punch carts that were too square to disassemble.
Almost all of these more than 1,000 people were strong and sturdy men, but at this time, these strong men were already running out of breath and pale, but even so they did not give up the heavy wooden carts, but pushed the wooden carts forward with great difficulty.
At the front of the team, Wei Song, who had a big beard, stood on top of a raised stone with a big knife in his hand, and looked at it, the blood stains on the blade and clothes were still dry.
"Liu San, where are the reinforcements from the Tongzhou Army?" Wei Song snorted coldly.
One of the guards behind Wei Song walked out, and he met with Ji Yan in the Tongzhou Mansion a few days ago.
Liu Sansan stepped forward in two steps, and said anxiously: "General, that Ji Yan said that he would set up a defensive offensive in Xiaojiagou, as long as we get there, the Shu army will definitely not chase after us!" ”
"Xiao Jiagou? How far is it from here? Wei Song said coldly.
Liu San replied: "At most, there are still three hours to go!" ”
"Three hours?"
Before Wei Song could speak, suddenly, there were hurried footsteps and faint roars in the mountains and forests a few miles behind the team, and the birds and beasts in the forest were frightened and fled in all directions, obviously there were many people there who were hurrying to chase after them.
Liu San's face changed, and he exclaimed, "It's not good! The Shu army is catching up again! ”
"Fuck! Are these cubs dogs? Wei Song scolded with a hideous face.
Since the negotiation with the Tongzhou side, Wei Song has been running around in the mountains and forests for the past few days, trying to get rid of the Shu army behind him, but those Shu troops have been biting themselves to the death, and they were almost stuck by them several times along the way.
Seeing that everyone was about to get out of the tiger's mouth, who would not have thought that these Shu troops would catch up again.
"General! How good is that? Why don't we ditch these material vehicles? Someone said in a hurry.
Before Wei Song could speak, Liu San on the side stopped him: "Don't be a general!" If we abandon these materials, we will have no capital, then Zhu Qingxian said very clearly, without these Shu made ordnance materials, they will definitely not take us in, when the time comes..."
Hearing what Liu San said, Wei Song's face was extremely ugly, Liu San didn't say everything, but Wei Song knew better than anyone that once his group could not get the protection of the Tongzhou army, then it would be a matter of time before they were completely annihilated by the Shu army.
"Pass my order, everyone is going at full speed, not to give up a material vehicle, violators will be killed immediately." Wei Song gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you use your strength to eat, you have to bring these materials out to me!" ”
The order was conveyed, and everyone had to shake their spirits, pushing the wooden carts one by one, and within a while, everyone in the team let out a violent wheezing sound. However, they didn't dare to sit down and stop, because the screams of the Shu army not far behind them were like the life-urging charms of the king of Hades, and once they were pasted, everyone would be doomed.
I don't know if everyone's pace has accelerated, or the Shu army is also tired of chasing, Wei Song led his remnants to rush desperately, although the Shu army behind him has not been thrown off, but fortunately not caught up by them.
After walking for about two and a half hours, it was getting late, and the sun was slowly setting in the western mountains.
Because in the past two hours, Wei Song and his subordinates have not stopped the high-intensity march, almost exhausted the last bit of strength in their bodies, and their speed has slowed down involuntarily, no matter how Wei Song urges, even if they whip their subordinates with whips, they have no way to speed up again, maybe they can still walk at this time They already have great perseverance.
"The Shu army has caught up!" I don't know who in the back team shouted like this, and the team suddenly exploded.
Wei Song, who was riding one of the few warhorses in the team, hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, he saw countless torches lit up at the corner of the mountain road behind him, and Wei Song could even hear the sound of the Shu army gasping.
"Quick! Come on! Fuck it! Those who don't want to die are desperately run for Lao Tzu! Wei Song said loudly.
Several of the soldiers in the group, perhaps too frightened, simply gave up the wooden cart and ran towards the front of the group like crazy.
Seeing this, Wei Song chased after the reins of his horse, came to the fleeing soldiers, pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed down without hesitation.
After a few swords, the soldiers who were running wildly fell in a pool of blood.
Wei Song vigorously shook off the blood that was still steaming on the knife edge, and said coldly: "Whoever gives up the materials will be killed!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, and immediately gave up the idea of abandoning the car and running away.
Wei Song swept away everyone, snorted coldly and stopped talking, and as soon as he raised his hand, Li San behind him came forward with a few soldiers, and neatly threw aside the corpses that fell in the middle of the road.
However, after such a delay, the chasing soldiers of the Shu army behind him were a little closer, and even the bows and arrows shot by the big stone crossbow fell into the crowd.
Wei Song didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to run south quickly.
The two sides chased and ran, running wildly between the mountain roads, and the frightened flocks of birds that landed on the branches of the trees beside the road flew away.
The Shu army chasing behind him was getting closer and closer, and just when Wei Song and his men were almost desperate, they suddenly heard someone in the crowd exclaim: "Not good! There are also blockers ahead! ”
Wei Song was taken aback, looked up, and sure enough, he saw a red light in front of him, and there was actually a large group of people intercepting him.
Wei Song gasped, and couldn't help but sigh in the sky: "The sky is going to die, I will !! ”8)
