Chapter 279: Ambush
A day of heavy rain washed away the depression caused by the gloom of the Blue Continent for seven consecutive days.
At this time, the people in the city are moving a horse under the eaves of the courtyard, or carrying a chair to watch the rain and rest in the gazebo, which is really uncomfortable.
Of course, there are those who like this heavy rain, there are those who hate it, and there are also those who are afraid of this heavy rain~
For example......
"Shit, shit! General, our losses are too great, and the heavy rain has poured on this already bumpy road, and it is easy for the brothers to fall into the valley! Even if you're lucky, your ankle is like a waste in this deep mountain! Let's slow down a bit! ”
This is the vanguard army of Chen Qing who crossed the Jinfeng Leader all the way, even when it is not raining, their losses are high when they are responsible for opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. Now the heavy rain has drenched the entire mountain road into mud, which has only increased their losses.
Under this circumstance, the casualties were counted, and it was found that Cao Xing, who had lost more than 200 people just by falling into the valley in an hour, was a little worried about Li Cunxiaoyu, who had been acting as a leader in the front.
You must know that their vanguard army has only more than 5,000 people in total, and they have lost nearly one-twentieth in such an hour, which is really not small~
Distressed, he hurriedly came to report the situation to the forward officer Li Cunxiao, and begged him to slow down his march a little so that the losses of the army could be reduced.
"No way!"
Before Li Cunxiao could open his mouth to speak, a hoarse middle-aged male voice came from the side. Taking advantage of Guangyue's squinted eyes, Cao Xing found that this person turned out to be his own family, Cao Cao, and Cao Mengde is also. This expedition is the same position as him, the lieutenant general of the vanguard army.
"At this moment, we must not only slow down, but also move faster. We are the vanguard army, and we are responsible for the task of opening the way for the army, if we are caught up by the army, then what use do we have! Where are we going to put our faces! Besides, a little loss is nothing. Fighter planes are fleeting, how can you say the word slow! ”
Cao Cao's voice was so low and hoarse in the rainy night, and he wiped the rain from his eyes with his black hand, and said to Cao Xuan without any politeness.
Mengde said this. The plan is not to go quickly, and the rear army urges them to speed up their advance! ”
The ticking rain made it impossible for the two of them to see each other's faces clearly, but this was not the time to pay attention to the friendship of their comrades, so Li Cunxiao did not care about Cao Xing's face and directly asked him to go to the rear army to urge them to march.
"Good!"
Seeing that the two of them agreed, Cao Xuan had to grit his teeth and agree. It wasn't that he didn't know the mission of their vanguard, but he saw that there were soldiers falling into the mountains and never surviving. He is still distressed~
He couldn't do Cao Cao's ruthlessness and Li Cunxiao's mentality of thinking only about war, and he knew that he loved soldiers like a son as a 'sex prince' of the soldiers, so he had to step forward and repay him at the expense of possible humiliation.
But sure enough, the two generals denied his opinion, and he naturally continued to urge the follow-up soldiers and horses to continue to accelerate their advance.
……
Under the supervision of these three generals, the vanguard army's army of more than 5,000 people still braved the danger of life and death, and finally crossed this last mountain range in the early morning.
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream.
With the sound of 'squeak~' birds in the early morning, I saw a plain in front of me. The army finally showed a comfortable atmosphere one by one.
For two days, they tossed and turned in the mountains for two days, losing at least a thousand brothers and sisters in the middle, and they finally climbed over the last obstacle of the mountain range and saw the plain in front of them! This joyful atmosphere is not much worse than the four joyful events in life on weekdays.
"I lost one-fifth of the soldiers and horses, and finally found a way, and I don't know if I lost or earned!"
Last night's casualties were a peak, and I saw the soldiers slippery on the ground. The mud is deep and constantly falling into the deep valley, and Cao Xing, who finally arrived at the plain, is full of emotion!
"They still haven't made it!"
Cao Xing, who sighed, walked towards Li Cunxiao and Cao Cao who were standing in front of him. It's not that he has good eyes, but now everyone looks muddy. The figures of the two of them were even thicker because of the armor, and it was too conspicuous to stand there.
"No, no......"
Cao Xing, who had just walked to the two of them, suddenly heard Cao Cao's whisper.
"Yes, even if it's early in the morning when the birds come out of the nest, but. Last night was a rainy night! ”
Li Cunxiao, who was inexplicable, also looked ahead and replied to Cao Cao's words with a smile.
"What?"
Cao Xing, who couldn't understand what the two were talking about, followed their gaze, and the woods in front of them had a thin mist after the rain, coupled with the ticking raindrops, there was quite a sense of paradise beauty.
"How can a bird get out of its nest when it is supposed to be grooming its feathers in the nest!"
Cao Cao on the side ignored Cao Xuan's question, but said quite playfully, as if he had seen something interesting.
"Huh?"
Cao Xing, who seemed to understand something, squinted his eyes and looked forward carefully, and smiled.
"Two generals, look at the sharpness of my Cao Zhimou's arrows?"
Cao Xing, who laughed, did not have any frustration and fear, but calmly took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, and then took the bow on his back.
The big bow that can hold the bow like a full moon, and the big bow that seems to be about to break by Cao Xing seems to have become a tiger with its mouth open in the eyes of people.
"Huh~"
The arrows let out a screech and flew into the jungle like a streamer.
"Uh~"
A soft humming sound, even if he was so slight, but in the ears of people like Li Cunxiao, it was like humming softly in his ear.
"Gentlemen, kill!"
Li Cunxiao, who roared angrily, picked up Bi Yanlao, who was inserted in the ground, and ran towards the woods in front of him.
It's not that he doesn't know that his army is exhausted one by one, but he hasn't rested yet, and he still has the strength to fight, so it's too late to run, it's better to fight to the death!
"Kill! Brothers, I am invincible, kill! ”
Cao Xing, who threw away the longbow, wiped his face, and then raised his spear and rushed forward.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and in this battle, they have nothing, and they fight for a mouthful of blood! (To be continued.) )
