It was early in the morning, and the war horses that had been running all night were exhausted and could no longer run, and the people on the horses were also shaky and could barely support them.

Behind the first few horses were hundreds of sparse bandit soldiers, listless, almost all of them were wounded and bloodied, and some of them fell headlong as they walked, and could not get up again.

When it came out, the team of more than 1,000 people had been completely dispersed at this time, and the people of the Zephyr Command had already dispersed, and those who caught and ran away died. The remaining more than 300 soldiers, after resisting several pursuits by officers and soldiers, only about 100 remained.

The cucumber did not ride a horse, lying on a stretcher between the two horses, and after waking up, he secretly stored his strength for a long time, staggered and wanted to stand up, but before he got up, he was dizzy and fell down. After being discovered by the bandits, a young man brought a bowl of water, drank two sips of cucumbers, recovered a little, ate again, and slept for half an hour before he could get off the ground and mount.

It's already terrifying. After fighting all night, rushing back and forth, and the impact of mental defense, it was extremely difficult to quickly recover his strength and command the entire remnant of the team in such a desperate situation.

The aura of personal authority brought by blind worship, coupled with Cucumber's excellent incitement ability, although the real team is still lifeless, but it has some discipline.

People gathered around in twos and threes, basically forming a marching procession, although there are still people who fall behind from time to time, but those who are strong and lightly injured will be supported in time. The whole fleeing procession was long and silent, but it could still be maintained after all.

"This girl is so tough"

Chai Meng and the others sighed not far away. Of course, when he said this in the midst of a gang of horse bandits, his tone sounded like a whimper, indistinct.

Xie Shence looked at the woman who thought she was insignificant, at most a weighty original match of a leader, and he also felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

He has seen a lot of strange women, whether it is the two of his own family, or Xu Luwei, who was born as a killer, or the bloody eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, they all have their own merits, but on the battlefield. There are few women who are more imposing than men.

After Xie Shence rescued Lin Wu'er, he returned east, but before he could enter the city, the overlord flower withdrew from the city. Later, the officers and soldiers covered up and killed, and the overlord flower couldn't contain the team, and the entire people who withdrew from the West Wind Leader cottage became a plate of loose sand.

I thought that this team was basically hopeless to escape, but just now I was slapped on the chest with a sword by the overlord flower, and the morale was raised a little.

It's scary.

It is terrifying to be able to drag back the army that is about to fall into Ah Bi at the moment of life and death.

As far as Xie Shence knows, the white face and Yingji of the Qin State, the dead Dadan Yu Muhan Bolu of the Xi people, the Xianbei Tuoba Rui, his eldest uncle Xie Yi, and the governor of Jiangdong in the Southern Song Dynasty who was defeated by Xie Yi back then, are all people with such qualities.

Vaguely, Xie Shence saw some similarities with Murong Duan on the overlord flower.

Tough, can withstand a lot of life can't.

Xie Shence and the other six people were coerced, followed the large army down, and mixed into the overlord flower along the way, which was extremely lucky.

Because of the rout, no one wanted to speak, and the whole team fell silent. Coupled with the embarrassment after the war, no one recognized that Xie Shence and the others were not their own people. This is even more lucky.

In fact, the atmosphere is like this, no one cares who you are, and saving your life is the top priority. It doesn't matter at all whether you're someone I know or not.

Of course, if you are a spy, you still have to kill.

Based on this situation, Xie Shence and the others did not dare to raise their heads. Ren Zhongxing, who was in front, endured the pain and went back and forth from time to time, and the only six of the eighteen horsemen were also patrolling with spirit.

At this time, if you find that there are spies in the team, it is a situation that the leader is very willing to see.

Killing is an example of monkeys, boosting morale and eliminating danger, killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Shence didn't want to be treated as chicken blood and become a potion for this mourning soldier to replenish red and blue.

There are too many examples of this. For example, a certain northerner who is often sung as white-faced in the play borrowed the quartermaster's head to stabilize the morale of the army.

There is no food left, and the only way to plunder the villages - big towns dare not go, and even in the villages, the cucumbers try their best to restrain their subordinates, not to break the house, not to see the red, and there is no forgiveness for violators. Try to come quietly, don't make much noise, and go quietly.

According to the experience of the horse bandits, as long as they leave a way for the people to survive, most of these honest peasants will not report to the officials.

Although the horse bandits were defeated, although they were extremely embarrassed, they did not break the jar and broke it, after all, they left a way, in this case, who knows if they will come back like a few years ago? The hearts of the people were afraid.

The government has always been strict with horse bandits, and several major families led by the Gong family swept away a few years ago, but what was the result? As soon as the officers and soldiers left, didn't the horse bandits come back?

What the people want is stability and calm, natural disasters cannot be afforded, and man-made disasters can be avoided.

Thus the practice of cucumbers, to a large extent, is correct.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, even if it is so careless, for fear that the people will ventilate and report the news, four days later, it seems that the officers and soldiers who have given up the pursuit have reappeared in the field of vision.

"Since it is going to be fought, there will be no such obvious loopholes, and the overlord flower can get away for three days, not because the officers and soldiers really didn't find it, but because of another kind of arrogant tactics. Let the loser think that he can't catch up, can't catch up, and dare not chase the tired enemy and the confused enemy, Wei Liao won't bother with these little things, if it weren't for the high-level of Ti Cai, or who could think of this strategy, only the son of the Tian family. ”

"I'd rather believe that it's Tiqi, otherwise, Childe will be in trouble in the future."

Two people who are convenient to work together, Xie Shence and Xiao Wang squatted in the grass and spoke softly.

After pausing for a while, Xie Shence once again confirmed that there was no one around, and said, "I understand what you mean. However, if you say that, I think Tian Zi is more likely. ”

"Tiqi has always been to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it is not their style to capture the old and indulge."

"Tian Zi wants to play big."

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "But in this way, it will be beneficial to us." ”

"Don't be careless." Xie Shence said cautiously: "It seems to be advantageous, but there may be mistakes." Among them, Tiqi is a very important part. ”

"Or can you force it?"

"No, it works."

"Okay, I'll get in touch."

In the evening, the seriously injured cucumber gathered everyone together, she walked in front of the fire, talking about how we should do it, how to persevere, what are our advantages now, where are their shortcomings, and the analysis is incisive, which makes Xie Shence, who is quite familiar with the brainwashing of pyramid schemes, shine brightly.

Talent

It turns out that there are no wrong ideas, only people who don't know how to use them. Cucumber full of emotions to speak, the result is good. Some of the bandits began to respond, began to celebrate that they had not been chased by officers and soldiers for the past few days, and then ended the party with a relatively cheerful end in the rhythm of imagining the future.

No one noticed that the horse bandit team, which had the right number of people before and after the meeting, was missing one person during the period.

The bonfire of the previous night had been extinguished, and the next day the officers and soldiers came at dawn.

Officers and soldiers caught up. This caused a lot of panic, and some people began to say things like "why didn't you say you wouldn't chase me last night", "I'm going to die this time", "I don't know if I'll survive".

Someone messed up, and then more people messed up. The whole team was about to collapse.

The moment he saw the flag of the officers and soldiers, what surged in the cucumber's heart was not panic and anxiety.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Officers and soldiers are coming! Are you scared? ”

"I know you're afraid. I'm scared too! ”

The two sentences are quite imposing, but they are so direct that they can no longer be directly opened, and they quickly quieted down the crowd with their internal strength.

"But I'm not afraid!"

"Why? Because I know that I don't have a home, I don't have anything. I have no way back. ”

"The first sages said that the ignorant are fearless, and I want to say, if there is no owner, why fear death?"

"But I'm going to leave a useful body for the future."

"They killed our family, robbed us of our property, forced our relatives and children to become their slaves, enslaved to death, and now they will kill us!"

"We have nothing left, and now they have to take this life"

"I don't agree."

More than a hundred people were silent, and no one spoke.

"They want my life, I said, I won't agree!"

"I don't say yes!"

Cucumber said repeatedly.

Ren Zhongxing, Ruan Shuisheng, Feng Yukui, Lin Fang and others stood beside her, her eyes looking down.

There was no supplication, no expectation, only awe-inspiring eyes.

There was still no sound below.

Ren Zhongxing and Ruan Shuisheng's breathing was already heavy.

The back of the cucumber's hand is behind it, and it seems to be breezy and cloudy, but it is actually trembling slightly.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Feng Yukui's mouth, and his hand clenched the broadsword in his hand without a trace.

Oh, girl, the despair and most fear of people with long hair and short knowledge, how can you dispel them with a few words? As for wanting to rely on this to fight a decisive battle with officers and men, it is even more wishful thinking. Just wait a little longer, and if there is a mess, I will take your head.

At this time, a hand trembled and raised.

"I, I, and I don't agree."

The voice is small, and the person who speaks has his head down.

Unlike the generosity and firmness of the cucumber before, this voice was quiet, uncertain, and even with a hint of crying.

This kind of speech, which should have no sense of existence at all, attracted everyone's attention at this time.

In fact, the moment Xie Shence raised his hand, he had successfully stood in the center of everyone's sight.

"My family, my brothers, are gone, I want revenge."

"I want revenge."

The repetition of this sentence was much firmer, and his voice no longer seemed to tremble.

There was a trace of astonishment on Feng Yukui's face, suspicion flashed in Ren Zhongxing's eyes, Ruan Shuisheng was a little excited, and Lin Fang Gujing did not wave.

The cucumber was in the hand behind his back, and quietly lowered a pebble.

If you don't want to hear what you want to hear, then the person who speaks first will die first.

Someone raised their hand again.

"I don't say yes either"

"My wife, children, and mother, I Liu San don't agree!"

"I Chen Qi doesn't agree"

"Zhao Wu didn't agree either!"

"No!"

When almost everyone shouted like this, a smile finally appeared on the cucumber's face.

Xie Shence raised his arms and shouted: "Don't agree!" ”

"No!"

"No!"

More than a hundred people, the roar of disobedience resounded through the valley. So the last chorus shouted, cucumber, Ren Zhongxing and others were also infected, and more than a hundred hands smashed into the sky with fists, shouting and angry.

Not far away, the officers and soldiers who had stopped and began to form formations were already arranged. Soon after, the horse bandits, who had fallen silent, also began to line up.

Xie Shence's face sank like water, and he remembered a sentence.

It's not quite right at this point.

If you don't explode in silence, you die in silence.
