Chapter 758: A Mother Stone
Midwinter took a deep breath, stood up and shouted: "Go, don't delay too much time, maybe there are reinforcements in front of you, and you can rest as much as you want." ”
A group of tired soldiers got up from the ground and rolled over to climb onto Ryoma, who was also exhausted.
Immediately after that, the army moved forward again, and Midwinter gave everyone the feeling that he had a firm goal to lead them all the way.
Only Midwinter himself knew, he didn't know where the front was at all, in this desert, he couldn't identify the direction at all, although at first he could be sure that they were running in the direction of Hanguangbian, but now he didn't know at all, which direction they were running, if the luck was really so bad, they were likely to be heading in the direction of Shuimu at the moment, then there was really no place to die.
But this kind of thing can only be buried in the bottom of his heart, and he can't even tell the closest family children around him.
Otherwise, the army's morale will be in chaos, and the remaining 800 people are likely to fall apart in an instant.
At this time, the middle of winter can only gamble that they will be able to meet reinforcements in one day.
In order to make this bet a little more likely to win, the only thing Midwinter can do is increase his speed and go further so that he can have more chances of encountering reinforcements.
"It's really not good, these dragon horses can last for another day if they are slaughtered and eaten. ”
A voice came from Midwinter's side.
Midwinter's eyes narrowed slightly, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Xue Feng who spoke, his expression relaxed slightly, and he bowed his head helplessly: "Sir, what can I do?"
Midwinter actually knew that his question was meaningless, as the so-called, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and in such a situation, even if the gods came, there was no other way, so his words were just a casual question.
Xue Feng, who had always been out of the way, said at this time: "The current situation, the chasing soldiers are behind, it is difficult to get rid of them for a while, where the reinforcements are, it is still unknown, the mother stone is really in a desperate situation, but it is not impossible to think." ”
Xue Feng, who didn't have much hope, heard this, his eyes flashed slightly and asked, "Mr. Xue, what do you mean?"
Xue Feng said in a low voice: "If you kill the horse pistol, if you win, you can loot part of the mother stone, and if you lose, you will only leave one hundred and ten corpses, and you can also reduce the consumption of some mother stones." ”
Perhaps because Xue Feng's plan was too bold and far beyond Midwinter's expectations, Midwinter was stunned for a moment and then shook his head slightly: "Because we want to turn around and defeat the pursuers in our current situation, it is simply impossible, the biggest possibility is that we are like pebbles thrown into the lake, swallowed up by the pursuers at once." ”
Xue Feng smiled silently, suggesting that he had already mentioned it, and it was his own business if Midwinter Cai didn't adopt it.
For this war, Tang Letian is indeed watching with a mentality of staying out of the matter, he won't say anything if others don't ask him, he makes suggestions, and he doesn't care if others accept him.
At this time, a scout horse caught up and reported: "The stalker on the side of General Mizuki is getting closer and closer to us. ”
Midwinter turned his head to look, and sure enough, there were several spies in the sand dunes in the distance, looking at them from afar, revealing their bodies unscrupulously, just like the falcons in the sky looking at their prey.
Previously, these trackers were still hidden, and Xue Feng only knew about the existence of the other party, but he didn't know where they were.
Now they are unabashedly showing themselves, which shows that in their eyes, Xue Feng and his party have become the prey in the palm of their hands.
It is clear that the other party has already felt that they are sure of victory, and only in this case will they show their application and observe the situation here unscrupulously.
This also indicates that the pursuers have arrived not far behind them.
Midwinter's eyes couldn't help but sink, the situation was even worse than he thought, if the other party attacked in a day when they ran out of ammunition and food, their more than 800 people would be vulnerable.
Midwinter couldn't help but look at Xue Feng, at this moment she had to reconsider Xue Feng's suggestion, whether to take advantage of the fact that they still had enough mother stones to maintain it and turn around and fight the enemy.
If you don't do it now, you won't have a chance in the future, you won't be able to meet reinforcements within a day, and what awaits them is that they don't even have the ability to resist, and they will be directly strangled.
Now do it, maybe you can pull two cushions.
Midwinter's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, "Mr. Xue, what should we do?"
A smile appeared on Xue Feng's face, but he didn't answer.
In the middle of winter, all the warriors pulled the reins of their horses and stopped.
More than eight hundred warriors paused together, and the flying dust rolled away.
Midwinter's face became extremely cold, staring at everyone: "Everyone, the pursuers are already behind us, we have no way to run farther, now we can only fight to the death, if you want to escape, you can keep running forward, and those who are willing to fight side by side with me stay, fight a fish to the death and break the net, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." It is the so-called death and resurrection. ”
These more than 800 warriors, you look at me, I look at you, and there is a look of panic and despair in their eyes.
But soon their eyes became fierce.
"I always follow the general to fight the enemy like this, fighting to the death. ”
Midwinter nodded slightly, and then shouted, "Formation." ”
After speaking, Midwinter looked at Xue Feng and said, "Mr. Xue, you don't need to stay here, leave quickly, there is no need to accompany us to death." ”
Xue Feng showed a look of surprise and glanced at Midwinter, at this time, Midwinter stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of silver mother stone and stuffed it into Xue Feng's hand: "Go as far as you can." ”
The expression on Xue Feng's face became a little strange, then he smiled slightly, nodded, turned the horse's head and galloped away.
Midwinter looked at Xue Feng's back and took a deep breath, and then the whole person fell into a state of silence, in which Midwinter was rapidly recovering his strength and restoring himself to his peak state in the shortest possible time.
I'm afraid he is going to die here in this battle, but it's nothing to worry about, it's a pity that he has just made a contribution, and he still shoulders the expectations of the Long family in the prince's vein, if he dies, the old man is estimated to have a headache, who will be sent into the prince's camp next?
How can we ensure longevity?
Fortunately, he is not the head of the clan, and these things do not need to be considered by him.
There are benefits of being a pawn, after all, the pawn only needs to arch forward, and there is no need to worry about other things. No matter what, there is a battle to the death today, life and death.
He has completely let go of everything, all his thoughts are focused on the next battle, at this time he is no longer a general, but a warrior, his goal is no longer to survive, is to kill more enemies.
The sun in the desert scorched Midwinter's skin, and the wind swept the sand and beat on his face, bringing a slight pain, as long as he stood still in this desert for an hour, he would be buried by the yellow sand, so Midwinter and his team had to pull their feet out of the sand from time to time even if they stopped and did not move.
The generals behind Midwinter looked solemn at this time, although they didn't know what the current situation was, but they could also guess, many people knew that this might be their last battle.
However, they waited left and right, but they never waited for the Mizukibian army to come and pursue them.
Waiting until it was almost dark, Midwinter's expression became more and more ugly, and if those guys took advantage of the darkness, the situation would probably be even worse for them.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was a very boring thing, they were already in a desperate situation at this time, although the dark night would bring them many problems, but for the army on the side of Mizuki, why not face many problems?
Not to mention that the night is more suitable for them to flee from the battle.
The ponies who had been watching them were gone, perhaps because they were hiding their form in the night, or perhaps for some other reason.
But in short, midwinter gives birth to an indescribable loneliness, and of course this loneliness is a good thing, a feeling of not being surrounded by wolves.
At this time, Midwinter regretted driving Xue Feng away, if Xue Feng was here, maybe he would come up with some ideas for him.
Now in the middle of winter, they feel a little uncomfortable, they have consumed a lot of mother stones here, these mother stones can be used for them to travel a certain distance, maybe there is a chance to meet reinforcements, but they really can't go now.
If the generals who were hunting them wanted to wait until they ran out of ammunition and food before attacking, Midwinter felt that these guys were too smart.
The night passed, and there was still no waiting for the enemy to attack.
This put Midwinter and all the warriors in an embarrassing situation.
For nearly a day they mustered up the courage to meet the stormy enemy, but the enemy did not appear, as if a fist had been smashed on cotton, and the empty body was uncomfortable.
"General, what the hell are those guys up to?
?”
Midwinter said in his heart: "Which one do you ask Lao Tzu?"
Midwinter was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain to these brothers, if he really wanted to fight, he would be happy anyway, but it would be too uncomfortable to be up and down like now.
At this moment, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the sky in the distance.
"General, could this be a trap set by the other party to lure us over?"
Midwinter scolded and said, "Do we still need to set a trap in this situation?"
"Let's go over and see what tricks these dogs and mothers are up to. ”
