Chapter 541 [Abandoned Village]

None of the houses in the small village are lit up, whether it is He Ping or the special forces are not stupid, no one will do such a stupid thing at this time, now Pinghua because of the Qi family's defection to Auckland, most of the people have fled to other territories, the town is a little better, even if some people have left their hometowns, but there are still many stays, the larger the size of the city, the higher the proportion of people who stay, as for these villages, they are the hardest hit areas, as long as there are so many people taking the lead, Whether it was the landlord or the tenant, they all ran away.

So like here, there is not even a single person in the abandoned village, now in Pinghua can be seen everywhere, before the Wen side with special forces to evacuate from Pinghua, there are many times along the way to choose such a place to rest, but at that time Pinghua had just joined Auckland, all aspects were more chaotic, Qi Nan has not yet reorganized the troops, so basically there is no threat to the Wen side, but this time is different, not only the troops have been reorganized, but also replaced by Qi Nan's henchmen.

If it weren't for the women and children in the team, as well as two carriages, plus Qi Lin, an old man, He Ping and they could go directly into the deep mountains and old forests, in that case, although life is a little harder, but it is absolutely safe, even if it is a Qi family unit who is familiar with the terrain, it is impossible to run to the mountains at night to search, it is not a combat mission, it is purely to find death.

It's okay to rest in such a village, but if you make some movement, it will be a lot of fun, and the Qi family's troops also know that there are many abandoned villages here, although when the Qi family's troops come out to search, they all have a camp, and then search with the camp as the center, and they will still go back to the camp to rest at night, but sometimes they go far away or for other reasons, and it is still very possible to find a village to rest like He Ping and them. If He Ping and the others were discovered like this, it would really be self-inflicted.

The dark village looks like there is no life from the outside, the carriages and horses are also put into the yards of each family, and even in order to cover up the smoke of cooking, the soldiers of the special forces take the captured prey outside and concoct it, and then directly bring the cooked food back, and also set up a secret post outside the village, and the Wen side is also very experienced in sending people to clean up the traces outside the village, in the case of insufficient light. Anyone who came outside the village would never have imagined that there was a troop lurking here.

Traveling at night, although this is also a very tempting proposition, but it is much more difficult to operate in practice, first of all, there is no navigation system in the military world, only some maps that are not very refined, although Qi Lin and his son are very familiar with the terrain, but this is not a place where they live for a long time after all. The general path is known, and the small places will be blinded, so the first point of the night march is that there is no way to recognize the way, on the other hand. Marching at night means resting during the day, but when the enemy is searching during the day, and stopping in one place under the enemy's search is the highest state of death.

A night passed quickly. There are no accidents, and the Qi family's troops also have to rest at night, and they will not search overnight. And that night, there were no troops near the village where He Ping lived that could not return to the camp for various reasons, so there was no Qi family unit that did not have a long eye, and was directly sent into He Ping's mouth, and the night was spent peacefully, with the anger of the sun, the special forces began to continue to march, according to their current speed and progress, at most, three days, they would be able to leave Pinghua Ling.

But these three days, and the most dangerous three days, the enemy has already been in contact with them twice, even if they are stupid, at this time they know that it is time to shrink the search range, and the result is that the search density is higher, the higher the probability of He Ping and them being discovered, and the higher the probability of being surrounded, the shorter the time for other Qi troops to rush to the place of the incident after receiving a request for help, plus there are other Qi family border troops near the border, and then their space for activity will be smaller and smaller.

And, there's that uncertain factor, Qi Kang! Now He Ping and they are close to the border, only three days away at most, and if Qi Kang only comes out of Pinghua City at this time, even if he is fast all the way, it will take at least two days to get here, and at that time, He Ping and they should have already arrived at the border, even if Qi Kang is intuitive and can find He Ping and them immediately, there is no time.

But the question is, when did Qi Kang want to join this search operation, and when did he leave Pinghua City, now this is something that no one knows, and no one can guarantee whether Qi Kang is already in this area now, and has led troops to join the search ranks, so now He Ping and they can only do it as much as possible to make their travel route as unpredictable as possible, and quickly rush towards the border.

Sure enough, after walking for half a day, everyone felt the pressure, and the density of the search force became larger, although one of the benefits of this situation is that the scouts sent out to explore the path basically will not miss the enemy, and basically every time they can accurately bring back the enemy's news, so as to help the large army walk past the enemy's side, but this way of marching directly leads to the speed of the large army to decrease, and it is always on alert, and the originally planned journey of a maximum of three days seems to be about to become at least three days.

A Qi Kang is not terrible, a team of Qi family troops is not terrible, even if the two are combined, it is also not terrible, if the Qi family's troops cannot become a scale, it will be a dead word against the special forces alone, and the Qi family does not have a fierce general and commander who is stronger than Qi Mengqi Lie, even if it can be found, it is impossible to be in such a short time, at least Qi Kang's military strength is still far behind.

But the problem is that now both sides don't have much about each other's strength, no radar, no satellite navigation, no enemy approaching alarm, in this case, according to Qi Lie's description, Qi Kang, whose intuition can be called human radar, has a great place to use in such a situation, if he finds the whereabouts of the special forces, and then contacts other surrounding troops to set up an encirclement on the way, it is really not a joke.

Intuition, He Ping thought of the deeds that Qi Lie had said about Qi Kang, and thought that Qi Kang was best at intuition, so he was a little envious for no reason, the system can strengthen his ability in all aspects, but only intuition, this kind of thing completely relies on innateness, He Ping at most, that is, relying on strong spiritual power to perceive the surrounding situation, but intuition is an ethereal thing, He Ping can't grasp it, for a person like him who doesn't have many artistic cells, intuition is the real superpower.

Intuition is such a thing, it is really completely unreasonable, He Ping does have a lot of abilities that surpass the common sense of ordinary people, but these abilities are not completely rootless, as He Ping's understanding of the whole world becomes deeper and deeper, he knows more and more things, his abilities, although it is difficult to explain with the fourth-level civilization level, but for the higher-level civilization, it is nothing, but intuition, even the current He Ping, is completely unable to understand what intuition is all about.

If you don't understand, you naturally can't grasp it, and you can't deal with it, so for the potential enemy of Qi Kang mentioned by Qi Lie, even He Ping has no way to take precautions in advance, except for making the scouts more careful and the whole army a little more careful, they can't do anything else, and in this situation, for a whole day, He Ping and they didn't even have contact with any Qi family troops, so they successfully dragged the time into the night, and once again found an abandoned village as a camp, It's just that on the other hand, they haven't gone far.

As the night fell again, the village once again entered darkness, without any lights, without any cooking smoke, as if no one had come here since it was emptied, but tonight was destined not to be peaceful, around the village, groups of soldiers approached quietly, all of them had white cloths tied to their arms, so that the comrades behind them could keep up with the people in front of them in this poorly lit night, and all of them had cotton cloth wrapped around their feet, so that there was no sound when they moved, even those war horses, With cotton cloth wrapped around their hooves, these ghostly troops soon completed the siege of the village.
