Hundreds of huge corpses were quickly divided into small pieces by the soldiers of the Han army.

On the edge of the waterhole, bonfires were lit, and Han soldiers squatted in front of the bonfire, roasting fresh meat skewered with branches.

The monsters are extremely ugly, but their flesh is very tender, and the taste is very good, and the first soldiers to eat the meat have confirmed that their meat is not poisonous.

When the soldiers were barbecuing, they kept a distance of more than ten steps from the waterhole.

Although more than 100 monsters jumped out of the pool, the corpses of the Han soldiers who were pressed into the water earlier did not float, and it was obvious that there were other monsters in the water.

There were more than a hundred monsters that jumped onto the shore and were divided by the soldiers of the Han army, but for nearly 20,000 troops, these meats were obviously only enough to eat one or two meals.

Piles of bonfires smoked, and the corpses on the ground were soon reduced to piles of bones and skin.

The snow-white skin of the abdomen was spread out by the Han army and exposed to the sun in the hope that it would evaporate some of their moisture so that it would not rot and deteriorate on the way back to Luoyang.

Staring at the calm pool, Zhuge Jun asked the guide: "What else is there in the Valley of Broken Souls?" ”

"Snakes, insects, rats, ants, you name it!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Zhuge Jun, and the guide said: "This is only the entrance to the Valley of Broken Souls, and entering the valley is much more dangerous than this." ”

The guide's words made Zhuge more sure that he could not enter the Valley of Broken Souls.

20,000 soldiers followed him on the expedition, and if all of them were lost in this canyon, even if he died here with the soldiers, he would not be able to argue with Liu.

Twisting his brows, Zhuge Jun was silent for a moment before saying to the soldiers behind him: "Let the soldiers keep some food, don't eat it all, I still have two or three days to go." ”

"No!" The soldiers responded, and quickly ran towards the soldiers of the Han army who were distributing food.

The stomach was empty, and the soldiers of the Han army were already salivating when they saw the barbecue, and they learned from the mouths of the soldiers that Zhuge wanted them to save some food, and many soldiers had disappointed looks on their faces.

However, in the end, they did not fill their stomachs until they were swollen according to Zhuge Jun's instructions, but only ate a small amount, and wrapped the remaining food distributed to each person in a cloth bag.

More than 100 pieces of the skin of the monster's abdomen that were cut off were carefully wrapped in sackcloth by the soldiers, and more than a dozen Han soldiers put them on the back of the war horse, turned over and jumped on the horse.

The three hundred Han troops who were ordered to return to Luoyang, under the instruction of Zhuge Jun, left the Valley of Broken Souls first, followed the road they came, and turned back the same way.

After eating some meat, everyone filled up their water bladders again, and the soldiers were ready to go to battle.

Looking at the jungle they walked out of, the faces of many soldiers showed deep jealousy.

During these few days of walking through the jungle, each step of the line will be implanted in their minds with extremely deep memories.

If they were given a choice, they would never choose to enter this jungle again!

"Let's go!" Riding on horseback, looking around at the Han soldiers, Zhuge Jun waved his hand and gave the order to set off.

The 20,000 Han troops lined up in a neat line and walked towards the jungle, which was not very far from them.

As the soldiers walked towards the jungle, large black shadows rose from the pools they had filled with drinking water and had fought monsters.

The black shadow floated to a place only two or three feet deep from the water and stopped, and a corpse that had been eaten in half, leaving only the upper half of its body, floated between the two black shadows hovering in the pool, and with a "poof" sound, it opened the water and floated on the water.

More and more corpses floated up, and the Han army that had been dragged down the deep pool by the monsters in the water earlier had been gnawed into pieces.

When all the corpses floated to the surface, waves rose on the surface of the water, and black shadows jumped up and pressed them into the water again......

The water bladder was filled with water, and each of the Han soldiers brought food that was not much, but enough to get out of the jungle, and in the next three days, they walked much more smoothly.

"General!" After walking for three days, Zhuge Jun was following the army and marching slowly, and a Han army officer ran back in front, and the officer came close to him, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "Our army is about to get out of the mountains and forests!" ”

Knowing that he was about to walk out of the mountains and forests, Zhuge Jun's heart was relieved, and he said to the officer: "The forest ahead, can the trees flourish?" ”

"Returning to the general, flourishing is luxuriant!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the officer said: "It's just that the gap between the trees is enough for war elephants to walk through, and our army doesn't need to cut down trees to open the way!" ”

Looking at the jungle in front of him, Zhuge Jun thought about it for a while, and said to the officer: "Inform the front army, take a detour to the east for ten miles, and then go out of the forest!" ”

"No!" The officer answered and turned to leave.

Seeing the officer walk away, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu who followed behind him: "General Xu, I'm afraid that the first battle is going to fight you!" ”

"General rest assured!" Walking through the jungle for days, Xu Chu had already been holding back his boredom, and he smelled that he was going to let him take the lead, so he hugged his fists without thinking about it.

"Out of the forest!" Nodding towards Xu Chu, Zhuge Jun waved his hand and gave the order to leave the forest.

Outside the mountains and forests, a few short war horses watched the forest from afar.

On horseback were several barbarians who were as short as their horses.

Earlier, they had seen the trees in the mountains and forests fall down in pieces, but later, the mountains and forests fell silent.

Staring at the mountains and forests in the distance, a barbarian leader asked the barbarians behind him, "Maybe you can see where there are people in the forest?" ”

The few barbarians behind him shook their heads.

When the trees fell, they could tell which direction the people in the forest were coming, but once the trees fell silent, they could no longer tell which direction the people were going.

"Tell Madame, just say that the Han people are about to come out of the forest." After staring at the mountains and forests for a while, the leader of the barbarians, who came with a few people to investigate the situation, gave an order to the barbarians behind him.

A barbarian answered, and rode his horse to the place where Mrs. Zhurong was stationed.

led the army to wait outside the forest for more than ten days, and Mrs. Zhurong waited for the news that the Han people had left the forest.

When the barbarian soldiers who went to investigate the situation returned and reported to her the news that the Han army was about to leave the forest, she hurriedly asked: "Where is the Han army?" ”

"It's just ahead, but suddenly it's silent!" Raising his hand and pointing behind him, the barbarian who reported the news said to Mrs. Zhurong: "It's just that there is no movement in the forest suddenly, and I can't tell where they are!" ”

Looking forward in the direction of the barbarian's finger, Mrs. Zhurong didn't say anything, but the golden ring and three knots standing behind her came up and whispered to her: "Madam, no matter where the Han people are, I can ...... by putting a fire."

"A single fire can burn the forest to the ground!" Without waiting for Jinhuan Sanjie to finish speaking, Mrs. Zhurong smiled coldly and said, "If there is no such forest, the Han people will be able to drive straight into it in the future." The Han people in the forest are only 20,000 at most, and we are waiting for 100,000 people, so will we still lose to them? If there is no forest and 20,000 Han people are burned to death, the Han Emperor is furious, and hundreds of thousands of troops drive straight in, I am afraid that we will be wiped out! ”

Mrs. Zhurong said something, lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.

After a moment of silence, she waved her hand and said to the Golden Ring Sanjie: "You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to open the way, carefully probe the signs of the Han army all the way, once you find the Han army, don't rush to attack, report to me immediately!" ”

"Good!" He saluted Mrs. Zhurong to the south, and with a light clamp of the golden ring and three knots on the horse's belly, he rode the horse to the place where the Han army was found.

Ten thousand brutes, after he had rushed out on horseback, followed her closely and headed east.

Jinhuan Sanjie led the 10,000 barbarians to leave first, and when they were 100 steps away from the army, Mrs. Zhurong made a move and shouted to the generals behind her: "Lead the army and set off!" ”

Close to the mountains and forests, not too wide in the mountains, more than 100,000 barbarians marched together, although they did not have the leather boots of the Han army, most of them were barefoot, even if they wore shoes, they were only straw sandals, but they were still quite imposing when they walked.

In the mountains and forests, he was about to march to the edge of the forest, Zhuge Jun restrained his war horse and turned his head to look behind him.

He vaguely heard the sound of a crowd walking behind him with their feet on the ground.

The sound was very ethereal and distant, but from the sound of footsteps, he could hear that there were 100,000 troops walking towards them.

The barbarians used so much manpower that it was obvious that they wanted to annihilate them all outside the mountains and forests.

Looking back at the direction where the footsteps came, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhuge Jun's mouth.

Following behind him, he was about to lead people out of the forest first, when he saw Zhuge Jun with a smile on his face, Xu Chu asked in surprise, "What is the general laughing at?" ”

"Luckily, the trees around the forest are not overgrown!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu: "The general leads the army to leave the forest, and we are waiting to lie dormant in the forest, so we can take the opportunity to cover up and kill a game, and win a lot!" ”

"The general didn't think that the barbarians could put a fire...... obviously thinking of the lush vegetation in the jungle, Xu Chu said with some concern: "I'm afraid that our army will not be able to get out of the forest at that time!" ”

"They don't dare!" Looking around at the trees beside him, Zhuge Jun said: "The forest here is luxuriant, and the trees are connected to each other, and once the fire is set on fire, the whole forest will be left without grass." Although we will be burned alive, but there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and at that time, Your Majesty will be furious, and the barbarians will have to destroy the race? ”

As soon as Zhuge Jun said this, Xu Chu nodded with relief.

"General Xu!" Riding a horse and walking a few steps forward, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu: "The general can lead the soldiers and horses out of the forest first, once you encounter the barbarians, you don't have to rush to fight, just wait for the army to rush out of the forest, and then it's not too late to fight!" ”
