Three days later, both the 1st and 3rd Legions of the Zhenjun Army arrived at Guda City. At the same time as the First and Third Army Corps arrived www.biquge.info Shangguan Xiu also led the gendarmerie according to the original plan, quietly sent out, and infiltrated Laiqing County.

Accompanying Shangguan Xiu were Guangfang's gendarmerie, Duan Qiyue's shadow flag of Wu Yufei, and Zhao Chendajiang's secret flag. Zhang Zhao stayed in the First Army Corps to assist Luo Ren and command the overall situation.

Infiltrating Laiqing County is equivalent to infiltrating an endless primeval forest, where there is no road, and the gendarmerie can only open the road by itself, and it is extremely difficult to travel. Precisely because of the anticipation of the difficulties of the march, the gendarmerie carried only ten of its twenty guns.

Even with only ten guns, it was extremely difficult, requiring a large number of manpower, taking turns to carry the artillery and march through the jungle.

Seeing the brothers of the gendarmerie carrying the artillery baggage, they were tired and sweaty and panting, and sometimes Shangguan Xiu, Guangfang Duan Qiyue and others came over to help the soldiers below carry the baggage.

In the Zhenjun Army, the generals led by Shangguanxiu almost did not have the frame of a general, and they truly shared weal and woe with ordinary soldiers.

The strong combat power of the Zhenjun Army is not only strong because of the fierce and aggressive Zhenren, but also because of the unity of the officers and men of the Zhenjun Army, and the strength of this unity is condensed bit by bit in the inconspicuous little things on weekdays.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was willing to take off his shirt, shirtless and shirtless, carrying the baggage with ordinary soldiers, the saint and An Rong and others who accompanied the army were all moved. The latest chapter of 黑しし has been uploaded

Shangguan Xiu has many facets, and the longer you get in touch with him, the more you can appreciate his extraordinary personality charm.

There are no roads in the jungle, there are all grass and vines, and there are weeds more than one person high, and there are branches that are horizontal and vertical, and the soldiers need to chop with knives to open the road little by little, and the speed of the march is not as fast as it is wanted, but the advantage of such a march is also obvious, that is, the track is hidden, and it is extremely difficult to be discovered.

After a morning of marching in Laiqing County, I felt that I could walk less than twenty miles. Seeing that the soldiers were tired, Shangguan Xiu ordered to rest.

Hearing that they could finally rest, people lay down in a large area, and even Shangguan Xiu was also lying on the ground, wheezing and wheezing.

In order to break through the Spirit Sky Realm and experience rebirth, Shangguan Xiu's physical strength is already different from ordinary people, but he is so tired now, and others can be imagined. The holy woman walked up to Shangguan Xiu and looked down at him.

Now Shangguan Xiu has no clothes on her body, only trousers, and she is a little embarrassed when she sees the saint looking at her intently. He didn't bother to get up and get dressed, and asked with a smile, "Miss Jing hasn't seen it before, has she?"

There were no men in the temple at all, and it was naturally impossible for the holy woman who had lived in the temple since she was a child to see a shirtless man. The saint turned a deaf ear to Shangguan Xiu's ridicule, and she suddenly bent down and pulled out the saber from his side.

Shangguan Xiu looked at her puzzled, not knowing what she was going to do. The saintess lowered the knife in her hand, and the tip of the knife approached the side of Shangguan Xiu's neck, and her sudden action startled everyone around her, and many soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another.

"Miss Jing won't be so narrow-minded, right?" Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, could it be that just because of her own words, the saint wanted to kill herself?

"Don't move. The saint spit out two words expressionlessly, and she didn't know if she said it to Shangguan Xiu or to the soldiers around her.

Immediately after, she stabbed the knife in her hand forward slightly, picking up a black and soft thing from between Shangguan Xiu's neck and shoulders.

Seeing clearly what the holy woman provoked, the soldiers understood her intentions. People shivered and hurriedly looked down at their bodies, and many shirtless soldiers found that they were already covered with leeches.

Bitten by a leech, although it is not fatal, but the taste is definitely uncomfortable, it sucks a lot of blood, makes people lose a lot of blood unconsciously, and the wound it has bitten is not easy to heal, often bleeding non-stop, and it is easy to cause infection.

Shangguan Xiu also stood up from the ground and shouted in a deep voice: "There are leeches in the forest, everyone cheer up, put on their clothes, and tie their trouser legs, sleeves, and necklaces." ”

In the tropical rainforest, there are not only leeches, mosquitoes, maggots and flies everywhere, but the most deadly is the miasma in the forest.

Fortunately, the three saints had already prepared, took out a large number of realgar pills from the package they carried, and distributed them so that people could hold them in their mouths to prevent miasma.

The next march became more and more arduous, in order to prevent all kinds of mosquito bites, people did not dare to take off their clothes no matter how hot they were, and heat stroke followed, and many soldiers could not support it and fell ill to the ground.

In the course of the march, the gendarmerie had another task, which was to carry sick comrades, which made the already difficult march even more difficult.

Even though the three saints were proficient in medical skills, took local materials, collected herbs, and did their best to heal the sick soldiers, there were still people who fell down and never got up again.

Almost every day people die of illness in the jungle, at first, people see their companions die in the jungle, hastily buried, and feel very sad, but later, people are all numb, because there are so many people who die, a regiment of the gendarmerie, every battalion, every brigade, every squad, there are people who die of disease.

The march of the gendarmerie is to walk all the way and die all the way. In just ten days, without any fighting, a battalion of troops was lost in the jungle.

Looking at this primeval forest that seems to never end, even Shangguan Xiu feels like a monster, eating people without spitting out bones.

The decision to infiltrate Qingjun was made at the beginning, but now it seems that it was too hasty, and the side was not fully prepared, resulting in the soldiers suffering a big loss in the jungle.

Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he has been walking in the jungle for more than ten days, going deep into the hinterland of Qing County, and then trying to change the route of travel, it is impossible, and the efforts and sacrifices made before are in vain.

After another five or six days, the gendarmerie had already entered the territory of Kunren Mountain.

Kunren Mountain is not a mountain, but a large mountain range, and it takes about two or three days to walk from the edge of Kunren Mountain to Ruoyin Valley in the middle of Kunren Mountain. If there is a road to the outside world in the Valley of Sound, I think it should be opened up in the dark.

According to the investigation of the Dark Banner and the Shadow Banner personnel, on this road, there are dark posts and secret posts, and it is absolutely impossible for them to pass quietly.

In addition, there is also a fortress built on this road, in which a Ningnan army is stationed, as for whether this Ningnan army is a local army or a central army, and how many troops there are in total, it is not possible to find out for the time being.

It seems that it is impossible to enter the valley of Ruoyin through the road and sneak attack the darkness in the valley. Shangguan Xiu immediately made a decision, detoured to the south of Kunren Mountain, crossed the mountain range, and entered the valley.

At the behest of Shangguan Xiu, the gendarmerie made a detour through the jungle to the southern foot of Kunren Mountain, five days later.

The slope of the southern foot of Kunren Mountain is not steep, but it is extremely difficult for the gendarmerie to climb upwards with such heavy and large baggage as artillery.

During the day they did not dare to act rashly, and it was only at night, under the cover of night, that the gendarmerie began to climb the mountain with great difficulty.

In the process of smearing and climbing, as long as the soldiers are careless and step on the pumice stone, they have to roll down the hillside, fall all over the body, and even fall to death.

The 10,000-strong gendarmerie entered the Ruoyin Valley, and only more than 8,000 people remained, with more than 1,500 soldiers and soldiers, sleeping in the jungle of Laiqing County. The difficulty of this march was something that no one could have predicted in advance.

When the gendarmerie led by Shang Guanxiu entered the Wakayin Valley, it was still dark. People hid in the woods in the valley to hide and rest.

The next day, when the sky was bright, people walked to the edge of the forest, looked out, and were greeted by a fairyland-like beauty.

Darkness spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to build a small town in the valley, and the scenery in the valley was already beautiful, and in the mist of smoke, the looming buildings were erected in it, it was really like a mirage.

The soldiers of the gendarmerie were dumbfounded, and Shangguan Xiu Shengnu and others also looked at it with straight eyes.

After more than 20 days of marching, Shangguan Xiu and the others were like wild men one by one, with gray heads and dirt on their heads, their clothes covered with dirt and dirt, and their clothes were scraped by the branches in the jungle.

This group of them, appearing in the fairyland-like Ruoyin Valley, seemed so abrupt and out of place. The saint looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and muttered, "How beautiful!"

Shangguan Xiu came back to his senses, glanced at her, and turned back in a daze, "Move out our army's artillery and prepare to attack!"

"Yes, sir!" the men replied, and the people returned to the depths of the woods, pushing out all the ten cannons they were carrying.

Then, the soldiers walked out of the woods one after another, lined up outside the forest, and with Shangguan Xiu's order, the gendarmes lined up in battle formations and began to advance.

The arrival of the Wind Army Gendarmerie seemed to fall from the sky, and no one expected that the Wind Army, which was attacking the city in Qizhou County and Qingchuan County, would suddenly appear in the hinterland of Laiqing County, Ruoyin Valley.

"Ignition!"

"Artillery ignition!"

Amid the shouts of the generals, the wind army holding torches high set fire to the medicine twists on the artillery. The loud roar of ten cannons broke the silence in the valley, and the projectiles that shot out the chambers pierced the sky and smashed into the entrance of the dark hall.

Boom, boom, boom

An even louder noise followed, and the clamped projectiles hit the building, sawdust flew sideways, and the building was smashed out of large round holes.

"Clean the chamber!" "Load the gunpowder!" "Load the projectile!" "Ignite!" "Keep shooting!"

Amid the continuous shouting, the second salvo of artillery fire began. A peaceful dark hall entrance was now like a frying pan, and soon, a large number of disciples with weapons poured out from the entrance of the hall, rushing straight to the gendarmerie to kill.

Seeing the dark disciples rushing out of the hall, the battle formation of the gendarmerie standing in front of the artillery finally came in handy. The battalion commanders shouted one after another: "Guns, guns in the front row!"

"Aim—"

"Shoot—"

Green smoke rose from the front of the gendarmerie camp, and a row of firebolt projectiles was launched, and a whole row of the oncoming disciples of the dark underworld also fell.
