The sun had sunset below the mountains to the west, and the embers of the setting sun had stained the western sky red.

On the mountain road leading to the eagle's beak, the members of the A-shaped team sat on the rocks next to the road, watching Chu Fan and Zhu carefully pull out the arrows from the chests of their comrades-in-arms with tearful eyes; Chu Fan's hand was fast, and when the arrow had just left the flesh and the blood had not gushed out, he pressed the gold sore medicine on the wound in his hand; The pillar quickly wrapped the snow-white linen cloth around his chest.

The naked* upper body, this is already the third wound treated, the other two are one on the shoulder and one on the collarbone.

This team member is already the third member of Team A to be injured, not counting the two who have already died.

After winning the battle in the afternoon, Chu Fan and the others arrived at this mountain road, trying to say that they had been beaten to the squatting mountain tigers who could not distinguish between east and west, north and south, but as soon as they arrived here, they gasped for this extremely steep terrain.

Not counting other places, the stone beam alone has to kill people - not to mention the abyss on one side of the cliff, at the end of the stone beam is a high stone platform, and the bandits only need to squat on the stone platform to attack anyone who wants to pass through the stone beam at will, without any cover!

The bandits also built a hiding place with stones, so that they could fire arrows without showing their faces, making it impossible for the attackers to provide fire support from the other side of the stone beam!

Chu Fan didn't dare to step on the stone beam rashly, so he had to shout for the squatting tiger to surrender and promise to spare his life, but the answer he got was a feather arrow shot from the other party and the arrogant provocation of the other party: "I think that if you win, you can occupy our cottage...... If you have the ability, why don't you try it? Grandpa consumes you too! ”

Not only that, but the bandits also threw stones down the hill above Shiliang, and one of the fallen members of the A-shaped squad died by accident.

The pillar who came with him was angry at the time, and patted his chest to ensure that the A-shaped team could take this stone beam - the battle A-shaped team in the afternoon, as a reserve, watched from the beginning to the end, watching the other squads reap the results. I was already holding back a lot of energy in my heart, not to mention that as soon as I came up, my brother died unexpectedly, and they all wanted revenge with red eyes.

Chu Fan pondered for a while, and after asking the other teams to give a few pieces of half-body armor to Team A, he agreed to let them give it a try.

I won't interfere with how to fight Chu Fan, and it's all under the command of the pillar. The latter was also well arranged: the three best marksmen on the team were placed at the end of the stone beam, providing uninterrupted fire support, while the two strongest formed a charging team, dressed in double armor and ready to force a breakthrough.

But because the stone platform on the opposite side was full of stones, the lead could not do anything at all, but the bandits threw arrows and crossbows and stones behind the stone wall, and they fought with great strength.

After three waves of attacks, Team A paid the price of one dead and three wounded, and the farthest only reached the middle of the stone beam.

After bandaging the wound. The red-eyed pillar put on his double armor and prepared to get on it himself, but what he didn't expect was that after he ordered a team member, the team member actually cowered and retreated, obviously unwilling to die in vain.

The will is still not strong enough, Chu Fan lamented in his heart, he glanced at Liu Zhongwen, whose face was gloomy and was about to wring out the water, the latter probably also sensed the obvious fate of the escort. He jumped up and said, "Pillar." Stop shouting, let's go! ”

Chu Fan hurriedly grabbed him, rushed over to stop the pillar that was punching the team member, pointed to the sky and said, "It's going to be dark soon, if you want to rush, wait for tomorrow...... Remove! Pull it out first! ”

Only then did the pillar stop. Dejectedly, he carried the wounded and slowly withdrew to the bottom of the stream.

After going down to the bottom of the stream, Liu Zhongwen found Chu Fan, sighed before saying a word, and shook his head at the end and said, "Little Fu'er." The kind of army you are talking about knowing that they will die, but also fighting to hold off the enemy with their last breath and create opportunities for their companions, is too difficult! ”

Seeing him so depressed, Chu Fan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Black Bull, don't be discouraged...... Our escort team has everything else now, but it lacks one. ”

"What's missing?" Liu Zhongwen immediately came to his senses, staring at Chu Fan with blazing eyes.

"Ideological and political work!" Chu Fan blurted out.

"Ideological politics? What is it? Liu Zhongwen frowned.

"To put it simply," Chu Fan said with a pout, "I want the brothers to understand who we are fighting for, why we are fighting, and what will happen if we don't fight well...... Wait a minute. ”

"Isn't war just about making money and getting rich?" Liu Zhongwen thought for a while, and replied tentatively, "For the bandits' floating wealth? For the East India Company? Cigarettes for fairy grass? ......" he hesitated as he spoke.

Chu Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Black Bull, money can buy a lot of things, but it can't buy loyalty!" Can't buy it for a desperate bloody battle! If you can't buy the ideal that you can dedicate your life! ”

“…… So what should be done? You must have a way! Chu Fan's words made Liu Zhongwen bow his head and chew for a while, and then he raised his eyes to look at Chu Fan and asked, his eyes full of eager anticipation.

Chu Fan just wanted to say that he hadn't thought about how to do the ideological and political work in the late Ming Dynasty, when he saw Zhao Hai and his night team appear in the gradually darkening twilight.

"Childe, we found a Taoist temple in the back mountain." Zhao Haihai stepped forward and knelt on one knee to report.

"Oh?" Chu Fan raised his eyebrows, and he immediately thought of the Taoist priest who had caused Zhao Hai to eat and expose Xingzang before he came, "Could it be that Taoist priest's Taoist temple?" ”

"This is not clear," Zhao Hai stood up and said, "For fear of startling the snake, we didn't dare to get too close." ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Liu Zhongwen was also excited—according to Zhao Hai, the Taoist priest was a master, and he couldn't help but itch.

After ordering the C-shaped team, the group went around the foot of the mountain under the leadership of Zhao Hai and came to a small valley in the back mountain.

The group approached the Taoist temple with a circle of bamboo fences, and in the hazy moonlight, Chu Fan saw clearly the three words "Yiqi Temple" on the wooden door.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Liu Zhongwen stepped forward and knocked on the iron ring on the wooden door, "Is anyone there?" ”

After a while, the lights came on in the room, the door creaked open, and a sloppy Taoist priest with messy hair appeared in his clothes, looked out and asked, "Who is outside the door?" ”

"Dengzhou Liu Zhongwen came to visit at night, and if he was offended, he also invited Dao Chang Haihan." Liu Zhongwen replied loudly.

At this time, Chu Fan had already walked to the half-human-high bamboo fence, and after glancing at the small courtyard full of jars and jars, he smelled a smell that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

That's – the smell of a chemistry lab! (To be continued.) )
