Now that I have figured it out, the current situation is also imminent, and because of the heavy snowfall, everyone can't move forward, so Xiao Wenye ordered everyone to rest in place and strengthen the shack, and he ate a meal, personally led a thousand horses, took his own baby girl, and the group hurriedly left the army and rushed towards the nearest official road.

At the moment, the place where they settled was found by the scouts with great difficulty, and it was very safe, and they were sheltered from the wind and snow, so it would not hurt to stay here for a few days, so they could temporarily repair here, and when they brought back food, when the snow stopped, everyone could get ready and go on the road.

As for where to find the nearest town to lead the troops? So that I can find a clear excuse for my daughter to take out food?

Well, as long as you find the nearest official road and follow the official road, you can always find towns and villages, right?

"Report ...... My lord, I found a town ahead. ”。

Leaving the team with a thousand horses, Xiao Wenye and the others went directly to the avenue, and when everyone followed the official road and found the nearest town to them, they would find a way to operate it themselves, so that the soldiers brought behind them could witness with their own eyes, and it would be justified to have a name, pick out their daughters, and go back with food and other materials.

With this in mind, the group went to the official road, and the scout team received the order, and the soldiers divided into two roads, and went to the front and back ends of the road to investigate, and the first to come back was a brother who went to the front of the official road.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Xiao Wenye, who was riding on a horse, waved his hand to signal the team behind him to stop, and only asked the person who came, "What is the specific place, how far is it from us, are you sure that there are no enemy troops?" ”。

"Lord Qiqi, the subordinates and others followed the captain, and found the boundary monument at the three-way junction ten miles ahead, marked on it, there is a Chihua town six miles to the east, the captain is afraid of the anxiety of the adults and others, and the subordinates are immediately back to report to the adults, and the captain is to take the brothers below to continue to investigate deeply, so ......."

"Okay, I got it."

Xiao Wenye waved his hand to signal the deputy captain of the scout to return to the team, and at this time, the scout team that was inquiring in the direction of the official road behind him also returned, and brought back the preliminary investigation, there were no towns within twenty miles, and the two villages passed through were also empty villages.

Xiao Wenye waved his hand to signal everyone to return to the team, pondered for a while, and finally ordered, "Set off for Chihua Town." ”。

After the order was given, before the horse was whipped, Xiao Wenye lowered his head and tightened his cloak, wrapped the daughter who was protecting him tightly, and then clamped the horse's belly and led the way in front.

On the way, he even thought that if there was no harvest in Chihua Town in front of him and he couldn't find an excuse, then he would go back to those two empty villages and think of a way, and he could only choose now.

All the soldiers received the order, responded in unison, and immediately rode their horses and whips, and chased after their own adults.

Xiao Yuqi nestled in his father's arms, his head restlessly poked out of his father's cloak, and curiously looked at the world outside that was gradually decorated by wind and snow.

Riding the horse and stepping on the snow and galloping, it didn't take long to arrive at the boundary monument that the deputy captain of the scout said just now, Xiao Wenye decisively chose the road to the east, but it was only six miles away, and it was only a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the town looming in the wind and snow was close in front of him, Xiao Wenye was about to whip his horse and beckon the brothers behind him to work harder, when he arrived at the entrance of the town, suddenly, nine people rushed out in front of him, and the horses under him were frightened, and they raised their hooves and neighed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wenye held the reins tightly with one hand, fixed the daughter in his arms with the other hand, and tried his best to control the frightened horse, and when the horse was restless and stepped in place, the nine people who had just blocked the road also rushed to him.

"Lord Qiyu, Chihua Town ahead can't go any further."

It turned out that the people who rushed out from both sides of the town were actually the deputy captain's mouth, and the captain who continued to investigate deeply and other scout team members were the same as the scout team.

Xiao Wenye's eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask his panicked and anxious subordinates, "Why?" But is there an ambush in the town? ”。

"It's not, it's just that my lord, this Chihua Town can't enter!"

It turned out that the scout team of ten people sneaked to investigate, and separated the boundary monuments at the three forks, in order to fear that the main general Xiao Wenye would wait for a long time, the captain sent the deputy captain back to Tongyu, and he took the remaining eight brothers to continue to fight horses and sneak, and went to Chihua Town to investigate.

Although it is cold and snowy, people don't do much in winter, but there is not a trace of movement in the huge town, right?

Looking at it, Chihua, which stands in the wind and snow, does not look like a small town with a withered population, just the area of that town, the eye-catching blue bricks and tiles are considerable.

With such a scale, and then the cat winter, there will not be a dog barking and a rooster crowing, right?

The town standing quietly in the wind and snow in front of him made the team leader feel a strong uneasiness in his heart, especially the closer he got to the mouth of the formation, the stronger this uneasiness became.

At that moment, when he looked around, he actually found something hidden on the side of the road, exposed to the wind and snow and mud...... Bones?

That's right, bones!

At that moment, the entrance of the town that opened in front of them was like a man-eating monster, showing its fangs to them.

The team leader was panicked, but he still remembered the order of the adults, and knew the purpose of their trip, and his own team on the mountain went up to Lord Xiao and the families of the brothers, and down to the old and young who followed, their tragic situation was still vivid, and everyone was waiting for them to bring back the good news.

Many hardships and unavoidable circumstances forced the squad leader to calm down.

He ordered all the men to dismount, and half of the brothers led their horses to hide in the woods outside the entrance of the town, while he himself led the three brothers and hurried to the town on foot with the determination to die.

The moment he stepped into the town, the team leader was actually determined to die.

He thought that what was waiting for him would be the encirclement of the enemy, but what he never expected was ......

In the quiet town, there are a lot of corpses and bones;

It is a ruined wall everywhere;

It is on the bluestone slab of the street, and on the blue brick wall on the side of the street, there are everywhere, and the blood marks of the road have long been yellowed and dark......

The wind and snow can't hide the piles of bones in the town!

The cold wind can't blow away the stench that lingers on the tip of the nose!

Entering the town, the four of them were separated to investigate, although they were no longer together, but along the way, the scenes they saw were strangely similar, all of them were so miserable, so breathless, and the four people who entered the town were all stunned.

"Head, there's no result on my side." , one returned to the court.

"Head, so is my side." , the two returned to pray.

It was the turn of the third brother to return, "Head, a few brothers have seen it, this Chihua Town is already an empty city, there is no living mouth up and down, all of them are corpses, according to the corpses, it is estimated that they have been dead for a long time, and there are ruins everywhere, I want to have experienced the war!" Head, this makes the brothers feel very uneasy, let's go quickly. ”。
