These two groups of people should be the killers of the hive and the Erli people.

Regardless of behind him, Xie Shence led the team to run through the forest at this time.

The sheep intestine trail did not have any obstacles for these people, although there were successive battles in recent days, but under Xie Shence's fine arrangement, although this cavalry lost a lot of manpower, but the morale was still very strong. After the potential is stimulated, even if the state is not very good, it can still maintain extremely vigorous skills.

Xie Shence also knew that he would be caught up sooner or later if he continued like this, but after all, the conditions were limited and the time was urgent, so many methods could not be used. There are not many arrows, and some people's steel knives are also curled, but the main thing is that there are too few people on their side.

Xie Shence made a rough estimate, the three teams of people, all of them combined, about nearly two hundred people, and the more they went to the back, the better equipped they were, and the higher their combat power.

Two hundred against twenty-two! Xie Shence, these twenty-two people still have to subtract two burdens, and when they fight, they still have to have someone to take care of them.

That's two hundred elites against nineteen tired horsemen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desperate situation.

But for now, Xie Shence is still very optimistic. After all, last year, five people were chased and killed by hundreds of horse bandits, and all survived.

Xie Shence thought about something as he ran.

He definitely doesn't want to die, he has a fiancée who is as beautiful as a flower, a smart and lively confidant, and maybe a goblin, all of which he can't let go. He wants to protect those he loves and loves him, and this feeling grows stronger as he comes into contact with more and more things. What he saw and heard when he crossed the entire Northern Army front in August made him feel a little more fetters in his heart.

Perhaps something should be done for those who eat people and those who are eaten

After a morning, Xie Shence and the others stopped by a river, which should be the junction of Xingtang County and Lingshou County.

Xie Shence didn't stop at the county seat along the way because most of the county towns and villages north of the Hutuo River had already fallen, and in those places, although some of the cavalry could be mobilized, compared to the fish pond that could mobilize the army, it was undoubtedly a sheep's mouth. Therefore, along the way, Xie Shence tried to avoid villages and county seats, for fear of attracting a large number of Yan troops.

This is a contest between spies and spies, and Xie Shence doesn't want to use other forces to win.

(Of course, this is a face-saving statement.) Or because even if you use some other strength, you still can't beat it. So even if you lose, you have to lose a little bit. ）

But now, Xie Shence is at the end of his rope.

The latest wave of Erli people chased and killed yesterday, and this morning, someone approached him again. This shows that the encirclement and suppression of the three forces against themselves is not a pursuit of a branch line, but a round-up. In such a situation, if you still insist on burying your head forward, you will only plunge headlong into the enemy's bag.

Xie Shence decided to go to the county seat.

At this time, Guo Fei should have advanced the battle line to the north for at least a hundred miles, and if it goes well, the two towns of Shenze and Wuji should be able to recover. If this is the case, then Xie Shence is very likely to be rescued if he goes east now.

It's just that the position of Xie Shence and the others is a little embarrassing now, just at the junction of Xingtang, Lingshou and Xinzhou counties, whether it is to the south or east, the nearest city is hundreds of miles away from them.

Hundreds of miles, according to the footsteps of Xie Shence and others, it takes at least a whole day to travel through the mountains.

It's a whole day, it's safe to travel at night, but it's very slow, it's noon, if you don't want to be overtaken, then it's best to make an idea now.

To the south or to the east?

Xie Shence gritted his teeth and said, "Go east to Xinzhou first." ”

So the group turned to the east.

For the other party to be able to track the whereabouts of his side, Xie Shence will not suspect that there are spies within his own people, these people are the elite screened by Zhou Jinmian from the black armor guard, and it is impossible to have two hearts. If there is really a spy, not to mention whether it can burn Murong Cheng's military rations, let's just say that in the past few days, the killers who have fought with others will definitely not be like this.

Xie Shence is still very satisfied with the loyalty of the Black Armor Guards of the Ti Cavalry Division, especially the Black Armor Guards after the reorganization.

To rush to Xinzhou before being caught up, Xie Shence is not very sure, especially when there are pursuers behind and there must be enemies in the east.

Nonsense, since it's a siege, there are people in the back, how can there be no in the east?

There are people in the east, and there are people in the west. But it's not the people of the three sides to the west. In fact, they are still in the outskirts of Taihang Mountain, and they have not yet penetrated into the inside of the real Taihang Mountain.

In the deep mountains and old forests, in addition to real beasts, there are more strongmen and bandits. Those were real bandits, all of whom had their hands stained with blood, and were listed on the government's must-kill roster.

These people are extremely vicious, and they will not venture deep into the Taihang Mountains as a last resort.

Since this is the case, ignoring Qingcao Ya'er's condition, Xie Shence decided to break through to the east.

The team then turned eastward, and after an afternoon of running, Xie Shence and the others were still about forty miles away from Xinzhou. Judging from the section of the road walked in the afternoon, the further east you go, the denser the population becomes, and the Zhuangzi grows larger and larger.

Judging from the condition of these villages, the Yan army did not do anything excessive to plunder and kill. The elderly, children, and women in the village are still there, but only about half of the young and middle-aged people have been pulled away.

Near dusk, I passed through a village, and there were old people and children waiting for their sons, or waiting for their fathers. Xie Shence knew that the vast majority of them would eventually return disappointed and wash their faces with tears, and some of the people who were forcibly recruited by the Yan army to serve as auxiliaries - not regular auxiliaries - were just cannon fodder, and they would be lucky if they survived the war.

Not daring to enter the village, Xie Shence and the others just sent someone to inquire from a distance, and then walked away. Not entering the village is also to protect them, because if they stay overnight, once they are caught up by Yuchizi or Erli people or beehives or found out, the people in the village will definitely suffer.

Even if their relatives became pawns of the Yan army in attacking the Great Jin, the Jin soldiers who died in the Jinzhou War also had some of their reasons, but it was not their willingness, they were still Jin people in the end.

In times of peace, they can be gentle, kind and even cowardly peasants, in times of famine they can be cruel and irritable and even eat people without spitting out bones, and in war years, they are the biggest victims.

Xie Shence moved forward while looking for a suitable place to rest on the mountain.

For five consecutive days, Xie Shence and the others probably traveled about 400 miles on the periphery of Taihang Mountain, plus several fights, even if Ti Cai was stimulated a lot of potential, he was a little tired at this time.

found a suitable place to rest on the spot, and thanked Shence for asking Mr. Yang to check the physical condition of the grass buds.

"For the time being, it's still no big deal, if you're lucky tomorrow and the Yan army in Xinzhou has retreated, if you can buy medicinal materials in the city, you can still be saved."

After listening to Mr. Yang's words, Xie Shence nodded and said, "In other words, you can't die?" ”

"I can't die."

Xie Shence received a positive reply and ignored it.

With these two women along the way, Ti Qi's reaction speed was greatly reduced, Xie Shence glanced at the two women leaning against the roots of the tree in disgust, and said in his heart that as long as he survived tomorrow, he could relax.

In fact, this time's plan, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of the two enemies of Erli and Beehive, Xie Shence and the others would not have been so embarrassed even if they would have losses at this time. Because there is one more enemy, the situation becomes different, not to mention two more, and both are heavyweights. It is still necessary to be cautious in dealing with a fish pond, and after adding the Erli people and the hive, all judgments and considerations need to be adjusted.

This directly led to the reason why Xie Shence could have rushed forward with his eyes closed before, but in the end he killed a horse pistol.

The reason why he turned back and forth was because Xie Shence had to test all parties and have a rough assessment of each other's strength. The reason why he did not march eastward earlier was because the speed at which Guo Fei's army advanced was definitely not that fast.

Xie Shence only hopes that Guo Fei's good gun can carry forward their spirit of cherishing time like gold and trying their best to run at this time.

And when Xie Shence and the others fell asleep, a team of more than 30 people appeared in a small village. Soon, the screams, shouting and scolding, and the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping kept ringing.

It was the middle of the night, and the team had tied up the entire village, men, women, and children. On the small rice field at the entrance of the village, more than a dozen torches were lit, and then a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked up to the earthen platform with a simple knife in his hand.

"A certain family is not a bad person, but the government has come to hunt down thieves, I ask you, have you ever seen a group of people, about twenty or so, and two women in the middle, passing through your village?"

There are about more than 100 villagers kneeling below, most of them are old and weak women and children, and there are also men, but a dozen unarmed men can't beat the fierce gods with short swords and crossbows.

The old people trembled, the men were angry and did not dare to speak, and the women clenched their teeth tightly with tears in the corners of their eyes to prevent themselves from crying, trembling and covering the children's mouths with force.

No one answered below, and the man with the simple knife carried an old man to the earthen platform and said, "If you don't say anything, kill him, start with him, and kill him one by one." ”

Someone below suddenly cried out.

The old man is the head of the village, and the patriarch of the village, who is honest and kind, and deeply respected by the villagers.

Although the people in the mountains are simple and uneducated, they are definitely not stupid people who can be deceived, and the man said that they are the public officials of the government to catch robbers, but what is the appearance of public people? What's more, threatening the life of the most respected old man in the village?

Yes, the officials are very vicious when they collect taxes, and they will lead cattle and sheep when they levy labor, but the officials will never kill people at will. Doesn't it mean that the imperial court is very clear? Isn't it said that there is a man named Admiral Xie who is the most capable of killing evil officials and evil officials? How can there be such an official as you?

It's said that it's an official errand, and the accent is not right! Where is the accent of Daqing River?

The villagers were furious, everyone knew that they were robbers, maybe the person they were looking for was an official!

(PS: I've heard the bad news about the three idiots recently.) I am not very familiar with his work, but I admire his professional ethics. Thanks to him.

More on that later. ）
