Chapter 116: Saving people is like fighting fire

To the northeast of the kingdom of Stormgard is a vast forest, which leads east to the former kingdom of Alterac, and on the northern edge is next to the town of Nanhai, the enclave of Kurtilas in Arathi, and bypassing the South Sea, it enters the kingdom of Gilneis. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This forest covers the territory of Shikoku and is the second largest forest in the Eastern Kingdom, second only to the Valley of Thorns. On the southwestern edge of the forest, a makeshift camp has now been built, where tens of thousands of humans have gathered, nervously waiting.

They are the people who have been evacuated from Yushan Town, helping the old and the young, and because of the lack of provisions, they dare not go deeper, so they can only wait here. With no food, they had to hunt and gather to feed their hunger, but there were tens of thousands of refugees who could not feed their stomachs, and now they were tired and hungry, huddled together and sat on the ground.

Suddenly, behind the expectant gazes of the people, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the people looked back blankly, only to see a war horse rushing out of the depths of the forest. The knight was dressed in a blue uniform, carrying a long sword and a hard bow in his hand, and was murderous.

Seeing a soldier coming, the civilians who had just fled the fighting immediately fell into panic, and they scattered, mainly composed of old and weak women and children, instinctively moving away and squeezing towards the east of the camp. A patrol of apparently improvised units rushed over, mostly middle-aged and elderly men, armed with rudimentary weapons, all of them filled with righteous indignation.

The soldier who came running from the depths of the forest reined in his horse, frowned, exhaled and shouted, "Don't panic, who is in charge here?" We are the army of the Arathi Basin. ”

Upon hearing this, the people were stunned at first, and then they reversed their fear just now, crying and rushing back. The crowd surged, the horses were restlessly holding their horses, and the little soldiers were holding on to the reins of their horses, their faces did not change, and they let the refugees surround them.

Observing from the horses, almost all of them were old and weak women and children, and there were very few men in the prime of life, and they were terrified, and after surrounding the little soldiers, countless hands reached over and stroked the soldiers and horses.

"Help us."

"Our home is gone."

"My child is dying of hunger!"

People cried loudly, wails resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the strong war horses seemed to have turned into a flat boat in the waves, being embraced by the crowd and floating around.

The little soldier took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Where are all your men?" Why did you leave you women and children behind?! ”

An old man came over separately from the crowd, grabbed the reins of the war horse tightly, and looked up and replied: "We have no food, and the mayor of the town took all the middle-aged people to the Songfeng camp, where ...... There is some food stockpile. ”

It turned out that Yushan Town had a large population and a vast area of grain fields, and the town could not pile up, so a camp was built in Songfeng Station in the original kingdom as a spare granary to store grain nearby. Although it is only a sub-granary, there is a bumper harvest in the autumn, and there are dozens of tons of grain there, as long as it can be brought back, it is enough to support a period of time.

"Where is Camp Pinewind?" The little soldier's color changed suddenly when he heard this.

Seeing his face, the old man stretched out his hand suspiciously, and pointed to the northeast tremblingly, "In the north of Yushan Town, about 70 kilometers away, next to the big forest. ”

"Oops!" The little soldier patted the saddle hatefully, "We just received the ......"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the dense forest behind him, and the little soldier hurriedly jumped on his horse, stood up straight and looked back anxiously.

The old man's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Is the army here?" ”

Only then did the little soldier realize that he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and let the army pass through the open road, your people have been discovered by the enemy, and they are in danger, so we must hurry up and get them back!" ”

The crowd suddenly made an uproar, and people crowded in panic, asked, and almost knocked the war horse to the ground. The old man hurriedly slapped the frightened and crying crowd and scolded loudly, and the crowd finally gradually loosened.

Without waiting for the passage to be completely awayed, the army came, and the young female general in white rode first, heroic. Behind him was a long line of soldiers in blue uniforms, all murderous.

The shouts and cheers were continuous, the horses' hooves rumbled, and the cavalry marched at full speed like a rainbow.

Lan Ya led the Shushan Revenge Legion and finally arrived!

The little scout pulled the reins fiercely, the war horse neighed, and circled in place twice, sweeping away several refugees who refused to let go, and reported to the large army: "Deputy Legion Chief, it has been found out that the militia of the people here has been attacked by the 10,000 troops of the Northern Army in the Songfeng Camp, and it is in danger!" ”

10,000 troops!

Hearing this, those women and children immediately collapsed in a large area, they only went to 2,000 young people, not even a thousand regular troops could not be defeated, and when they met an army of 10,000, they would definitely be wiped out!

"No!" The people screamed, desperately rushed to the rushing Shushan revenge army, screaming and pleading, "Save them, save them!" ”

Lan Ya, who was the leader, instantly turned red in her eyes and scolded angrily, "Get out of the way!" ”

The cavalry team didn't slow down at all, and they couldn't stop at such a close distance, and these people would definitely be kicked to death countless times when they rushed up!

The men who were still sensible among the refugees were also in a hurry, the women were looking for death, and their children were also following, which would be trampled by the army, and the living would simply commit suicide. They desperately pulled back, pushed outward, or simply grabbed people and threw them far away, trying to drive a way for the army of people crossing the border.

The advance of the army soon ran into the group of refugees, and thanks to the men's efforts, the crowd was finally cleared through a crooked and narrow passage, and Lanya jumped over a fallen woman with a flick of the reins, and whipped it with her backhand.

"Get out of the way!" With a loud shout, Lanya whipped a boy out of the way, and the horse pierced into the crowd.

Immediately after, the cavalry rushed into the crowd like a torrent of narrow culverts, and the woman who had been jumped by Lanya could no longer get up, and fell to the ground with her head in her hands and screamed, surrounded by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

All the soldiers whipped their whips from side to side, roaring loudly, and the cavalry cut into the butter like sharp knives, slicing through the crowd and cutting straight through. The evicted refugees fell to the ground, each grabbing his own children and hiding backwards, and the camp's noise was mixed up into a pot of porridge.

The Shushan Revenge Army has gone through countless battles, and its will is as strong as steel, and it is not moved by the chaos at all. They made their way out of the camp as fast as they could, without slowing down, in the direction of the Pine Wind Camp.

As soon as the army had passed, the refugees got up and chased after the cavalry and cried out: "Please, you must bring people back!" Bring back ......."

"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late." An officer with a solemn face shouted at Lanya.

Those people have been gone for a long time, but I am afraid that they have already begun to engage the enemy, and when they rush there, they will not even have time to collect the corpses. 10,000 regular troops against 2,000 militiamen, if there is no danger to defend, the battle situation will be absolutely crushing, and those people will not be able to hold out for even 10 minutes.

Lanya shook her head and didn't speak, she didn't communicate with the refugees just now, first, because of the military emergency, and secondly, she didn't know how to answer these people. Now, I just hope that the militia is delayed on the road, so that maybe there will be fewer deaths......

"The whole army obeys the order! Burn the wind! Lan Ya shouted and whipped her mount fiercely, and the entire cavalry army began to speed up, rushing out of the vast forest.

Hopefully, Cheng Xiaotian can arrive in time...... (To be continued.) )
