It's just that soon, He Chen returned to reality, and with his current situation, he wanted to find the ethereal scaly wolf warrior wolf, but it was really a vain effort. Besides, the system didn't prompt it, He Chen comforted himself like this. I can only put down my unwilling mood for the time being. When will you conquer Luoyang, take Sili Zhongzhou, and control Hangu Sisai, you must take some time to find out.

In Deng Long's cautious and step-by-step, He Chen and his army slowly advanced like snails.

It's just that the environment here is too harsh, and all kinds of dangers can't be prevented, He Chen even found two brown bears, three hanging white tigers, and one rushing cheetah in just over ten minutes. It's like entering a hundred thousand mountains, a paradise for wild beasts.

A spring was found in front of me, the water was clear to the bottom, and there were bursts of warm air.

He Chen was about to go up to drink water, but was stopped by Deng Long and said: "The lord can't, if the mountain spring here is hot, it is mostly poisonous water, once you drink it, you will inevitably die of poison." ”

He Chen was horrified, fortunately Deng Long moved fast enough to hold himself, otherwise he didn't die under the enemy's blade, but fell in this great mountain spring, which made people laugh and lose their big teeth. He Chen's understanding of the dangers of Qingping Peak deepened again.

Under such extremely harsh conditions, He Chen and his soldiers trekked hard, and when they arrived at the foot of the main peak Qingping Mountain three days later, there were at least more than 300 soldiers who fell forever in this treacherous mountain forest. Some were bitten by poisonous insects that suddenly burst out of the hidden jungle, and then died; Some were so hungry and thirsty that they secretly drank poisonous springs and died because they ran out of water; There are also those who accidentally fell into the mud and could never come up again; What frightened He Chen the most was that he also encountered a group of large lizards that hunted for food, very similar to crocodiles, if it weren't for Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and other generals to be brave, I was afraid that more soldiers would fall down and sleep here. Before this trip to Beijing, there were less than 600 of the 2,000 fierce war horses left, which can be described as a heavy loss.

In such a difficult environment, most of the soldiers were almost desperate, and even the usually lively and active Yellow Butterfly Dance was silent. The eyes are gloomy, and they are no longer as smart as they used to be. The breath of death is suppressed in the hearts of Wancheng soldiers all the time, like a big stone, making people breathless.

"Envoy, even if you die on the battlefield, Huang doesn't want to die here." Xu Huang was down-and-out, like a savage, if it weren't for the bright golden axe, it is estimated that no one would recognize him.

"Exactly. Envoy, let's leave this ghost place, even if it is a million army in front, Zhang Liao will not frown. Zhang Liao was also completely speechless, his expression was pale, and his face was a little bleak.

On a slightly empty slope halfway up the mountain, nearly a thousand soldiers rested there, each silent, most of them looking dull and tired. Some lay motionless and looked at the gray sky; Some sat there with their heads bowed, constantly carefully wiping down their precious objects; Some simply leaned under the tree, stunned......

He Chen was surrounded by several core generals, and everyone's emotions were more or less affected.

He Chen was also full of exhaustion, and said bitterly: "The princes of Zhonglu have defeated Lu Bu's army, and soon Dong Zhuo will evacuate the tiger prison and move the capital to Chang'an, and now the most stable way is to wait for news here." ”

"My lord, what you say is very true. It's just that this place is really poor and bad, and the subordinates can support it for a while, but the morale of the brothers has dropped to the freezing point, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will ......" It was Wu Kuang who spoke, this guy saw He Chen's shocking methods, and after he healed his injuries, he followed He Chen with all his heart. At this time, he looked at the soldier with worried eyes, and said helplessly in his voice.

"Envoy, now we lack food and water, and we rarely have warm clothes and quilts, plus there are many poisonous insects and beasts here, I'm afraid that the brothers won't be able to carry Dong Zhuo's retirement one day." Xu Huang was also anxious.

"Yes, what Gongming said is very true, now there are many soldiers who are seriously injured and infected with malaria, if they don't seize the time to treat, in the long run, they will be wiped out without Dong Zhuo to attack." Zhang Liao also felt that the situation was serious.

He Chen dragged his forehead with his hand, was silent for a while, and only shook his head for a long time and said with a bitter smile: "I also know about this matter, it's just that Dong Zhuojun is wantonly investigating in Dengjia Village, even if we return along the way, the soldiers will block ten with one, but I am afraid that it will be a situation where the whole army will be annihilated, and it will drag down the villagers of Dengjia Village." Given the dangers we had experienced when we came, the soldiers would no longer be willing to venture into that place so easily. If we move forward, climb over the mountains, and wade through Yishui, it will be the southern vein of Bishan, where Zhang Ji's army is guarded, and now in our current situation, we are not opponents at all. ”

Xu Huang slammed the handle of the axe to the ground with red eyes, and roared in a rough voice: "Envoy, horizontal is death, vertical is death, with such a nest to die here, it is better to kill vigorously and die well." ”

Zhang Liao also stood up with a "Teng" voice, his handsome face was a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What Gongming said is that what is the joy of the husband's life, and what is the fear of death, born as a soldier, his greatest wish is to gallop on the battlefield and dominate the world; On the contrary, waiting for death is the greatest sorrow for us. ”

"Lord, it's a big deal to have a scar on his head, but after eighteen years, he is still a hero, let's fight." Deng Long was also deeply affected and said excitedly.

"Lord ......"

Everyone became excited, and the suppressed emotions suddenly found an outlet, like a flash flood, the tone became louder and louder, and the emotions became more and more excited, and finally they all stood up, their faces were resolute.

"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. My lord, you still said it yourself, and now you are willing to watch the soldiers leave like this? Even when they left, they were full of regret and loss, and that was because they didn't die under the enemy's sword. ”

"Lord ......" At some point, all the soldiers had fiery eyes and stood up neatly with unwavering expressions.

"We'd rather die bravely than live in a nest."

"Even if there is only the last drop of blood on the body of a subordinate, it is to survive for battle."

"Lord ......"

He Chen's eyes suddenly moistened a little, and the slightest heat blurred his eyes. Once upon a time, his fiery and fearless heart slowly sank after drifting and rolling in the world. In order to survive, he desperately disguised himself and endured the trampling of dignity by others, just to be able to breathe. Since God has given himself a chance to start anew, do he still want to go on like this?

Fuck, these soldiers, why do you have to be so sensational? Isn't this driving Lao Tzu to a dead end? I don't want to die yet. He Chen's eyes were full of tears, but he thought sadly in his heart. Damn, since Dong Zhuo doesn't give him a way to live, Lao Tzu doesn't let him feel better. This guy broke the jar and fell, and stood up angrily, his face flushed, and his teeth gritted and roared: "Damn, death is lighter than a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai, since everyone has a heart, then kill his mother and go quickly." ”

"Fuck it." All the soldiers cheered and shouted in unison. At this moment, the morale that dropped to the freezing point miraculously began to soar.

"Brothers, what if there is a blockade in front and a pursuer in the back? So today, I will tell you that He Chen's soldiers can only die on the road of charging, and there is never a reason to take a step back. Even if we die today, we will die on the way forward. Are you all ready? ”

"Ready." There was another thunderous cry, and the frightened rabbits and beasts ran.

"Then, polish your weapons, strengthen your steps, be brave and determined, from now on, follow the Honshu Mu, climb over this mountain, storm Zhang Jiwei Luocang, and burn all the grain with a fire. Even if we die, we have to pull the back of the Guanzhong army, so that they have no food to eat and no grass to fertilize, understand? He Chen's eyes were red, like a crazy leopard, and his appearance was extremely hideous and terrifying, as if he was going to devour people in the next moment.

"Understood." All the soldiers were full of enthusiasm and with the belief that they would die, and embarked on a new journey.

He Chen didn't know how many people would return to Wancheng alive this time, but he knew that the heroic posture of these soldiers, their simple smiles, and their confidence in yearning for beauty would remain in their hearts and never fade.

This time, Deng Long also gave up his old life, relying on his long-term memory, speeding up the pace of exploration, and several times sinister like Huansheng, all of them were pulled out of the ghost gate under the high concentration of the soldiers.

All the generals know that morale is such a thing, one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, if you don't take advantage of the current rush to Pishan, I am afraid that the morale that has been gathered so hard will be dispersed again.

On the afternoon of the third day, over the main peak of Qingping, the mountain was already far away.

By this time, there were less than a thousand soldiers.

He Chen stood on the top of the mountain, and now Yishui meandered through the middle of the mountains, like a galloping dragon. In the undulating mountains ahead, you can vaguely see a fireworks sentry tower.

He Chen's spirits were greatly lifted, and he turned back to the soldiers and said, "Look, we are about to reach our goal." ”

The soldiers were inspired.

He Chen waved his fist in the air and said viciously: "Let the soldiers rest and have a full meal, and we will rush overnight." ”

Zhang Liao and the other generals nodded gloomily.

He Chen's so-called full meal, that is because Qingping Peak is really dangerous, and the soldiers really have no rations in the end, so they can only endure the pain and kill the horses; There is no water, so you can only drink horse blood. You must know that the war horse has always been the best companion of the cavalry, fighting on the battlefield together, advancing and retreating together. If it weren't for the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted, no one would be able to do this.

At night, the stars shine in the sky, and the water of the Yi River is shining. He Chen and the soldiers rushed to make bamboo rafts in batches overnight, and when the morning star was bright, eight simple bamboo rafts were already lying quietly on the water.

Afterwards, the sergeant hid deep in the mountains and waited quietly for the fateful moment to come.
