Chapter 396: Chen San marches

Under the rapid march for several days, Chen San led more than 2,000 people from the headquarters of the Liangmu Mercenary Group, as well as other soldiers mixed with it, a total of 5,000 people shuttled through the forest.

The stiff boots trampled on the dirt, but the sound was not loud.

The soldiers moved briskly, all of them were full of energy, and their faces were full of war.

The group of them took a detour and stationed, constantly changing the camp site, and finally arrived at the predetermined position at this time.

With only more than 5,000 people, it is naturally impossible to put it on the frontal battlefield to fight, after all, compared to the tens of thousands of troops fighting, it is just a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, the main purpose of Chen San and the others is to intercept the defeated soldiers of the Western Frontier Army in the rear, of course, if the battle situation is lost, Chen San and the others will naturally rush to the battlefield and give the Western Frontier Army a stab in the back.

But at the moment, it was obvious that they did not need to do so, so they still mainly marched to occupy the steep terrain to block the rear road of the Western Army.

Chen San took off the water bag, raised his neck and poured sweet spring into his mouth with a big gulp, only to feel that the cells in his body were trembling, and his body and mind were extremely comfortable.

"The order went down, and the whole army rested for half an hour and quickly devoured dry food. ”

Chen San glanced at the early morning sun, it was bright now, and the soldiers were marching in the mountains and forests day and night, but they were indeed tired.

And because of the need to ensure that no traces are leaked, they are not able to make pots for cooking, and can only swallow dry food bitterly.

But because of the taste pill issued by Ye Xing, with their eyes closed, it also made everyone feel a delicious experience.

It's just that this is at best a painting cake to satisfy hunger, as long as you open your eyes and look at the bitter dry food, you don't feel anything in an instant.

However, it was better than nothing, and the soldiers stopped one after another and began to seize the time to rest.

Chen San summoned several scout commanders and asked them to quickly send people to investigate the surrounding situation.

After all, it is located in this deep mountain and old forest, but there are many tigers, leopards, snakes and insects, and coupled with the vision of Youyuan Fortress and the war, there are more and more people going to this area recently.

Most of them came after hearing about the vision, but many of them were sent by various forces to investigate the situation and provide support.

When several of the scout commanders heard this, they immediately hid in the dense forest, and even the soldiers who had been with them for a long time could hardly find their traces for a while.

These scout commanders were naturally not the original scout leaders of the mercenary group, but the elites sent by Ye Xing to assist.

The scouts under Ye Xing's command were all selected by Gu Xun and personally trained by Wang Li and Hitomi and others, and their hidden traces were wonderful.

And later, he got Ye Xing's personal guidance, so all of them are extremely clever, and their combat power and martial arts are also quite powerful.

Moreover, after Ye Xing personally mentioned it, the concealment skills of these scouts took a step forward, even if they were standing beside people, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.

"I don't know what's going on over there in the fortress, I just received news from Lord Gu Xun yesterday, and Gongzi Yan sent two soldiers to rob the camp at night and gained a lot, but I don't know how long I will have to hide. ”

Chen San's eyes were also hot in his heart for his comrades who began to make contributions one after another, but he was entrusted with a heavy task by Ye Xing, hiding in the forest with other commanders, and acting around the back.

Therefore, the battle of defending the city and the battle of reinforcements, and even the battle of raiding the camp at night, have nothing to do with them.

And this time is also a few months, if it is not always paying attention to the movements of the enemy and the march in the forest, I am afraid that the soldiers under his command will have some desire to evacuate this mission.

After all, their predecessors were just mercenaries, and they were separated from the existence between heroes and green forests, and they may not be able to fully implement them according to the rules in the army.

However, fortunately, Chen San's commanding power is still quite good, and the materials sent by Ye Xing have not made any complaints to the soldiers.

But if there is no war for a few more months, I am afraid that no matter how strong Chen San's commander is, these soldiers will lose their current spirit.

Just thinking about it, it was several scout commanders who returned, only to see several people coming to Chen San one after another.

"General Chen, there is a lake in the south of our army, the distance is only five miles, and there is a team of about 30 people stationed there, without a banner. ”

"General Chen, the west of our army is full of mountains and forests, and the forests are full of miasma, which is not suitable for marching. ”

"General Chen, there is a cliff one mile to the north of our army, and it is also impossible to march. ”

The news brought by three people in a row is not good, there is an unknown team stationed in the south, although there are only thirty people, but it does not mean that there are no other teams.

The west side is full of mountains and forests, and there is a lot of miasma, and soldiers entering it may get sick, but it is also difficult to walk.

To the north, not to mention, there was a cliff a mile away, and the 5,000 soldiers had no tools to climb the cliff, so it was difficult to walk.

Taking a step back, even if there are tools to climb the cliff, there are 5,000 soldiers, how long will this have to be climbed?

So the north was sent out as a matter of course, so that only the east was left, but the scout in charge of the east had not yet returned.

I only hope that the scouts who are exploring from the east can bring good news, to be honest, Chen San is unwilling to walk from the south.

The reason is that they are marching southward, and they are afraid that they will have to take a detour again.

"Alright, I see, you go down first, and set up a guard scout. ”

Chen San said in a deep voice to a few people, and then waited for news from the east.

After a while, a scout leader appeared in front of Chen San's eyes, but there were some blood stains on this scout leader.

When Chen San saw it, he immediately secretly said that it was not good.

"What's going on in the east?" Before the scout could move forward, Chen San immediately got up and ran towards the scout, asking loudly at the same time.

"General Hui, the mountains in the east are high and dense but you can march, but there are a few demonic beasts that have been eroded by demonic energy to stop us, and our strength is not good, so it is a little difficult to deal with for a while. ”

The scout saw that Chen San was anxious, and immediately responded.

It turned out that the scout commander led his scouts to the east to investigate, but there was no thrill along the way, but on the way back, they encountered a few demonic beasts that happened to appear on the marching road.

Then because the road was blocked, the scouts had to fight with the demons, but the weapons in the scouts' hands were nothing more than daggers, how could they hurt those monsters?

Therefore, the scouts in the east suffered a great loss, losing several of their best soldiers, and the scout commander was able to escape under the cover of other scouts.
