Chapter 175: Crazy Pursuit
At this moment, Qin Nan felt a little heavy on his body, because the blood of those people who splashed on him had dried up, forming a viscous liquid, like glue soup, which made him extremely uncomfortable, as if the whole person had weighed more than ten catties.
After a round of massacre, more than a hundred Red Turban troops were eliminated again, and the remaining two or three hundred people continued to flee.
This time, they fled even more frantically, with a look of horror on their faces, trembling all over, and a few of them fell directly to the foot of the mountain because they did not stand firm under their feet.
Qin Nan and the others simply dealt with the wounded brothers in his army, and then he continued to lead people to chase and kill the fleeing Red Turban Army.
This mountain forest is incomparably wide, and at a glance there is an endless sea of trees, and on the ground is more than a meter high, and there are some very hard thorns, which will scratch people's skin if they are not careful, and the situation is extremely bad.
However, it is precisely because of such conditions that no matter how backward Qin Nan and the others are, they will not lose those Red Turban troops who have fled.
Because the road they have walked will leave obvious traces in the weeds, as well as countless traces of blood, etc., it is simply too obvious, just like a mark deliberately left for Qin Nan and the others.
Originally, Qin Nan planned to attack and kill another wave, so that he could beat the hundreds of people who fled half-crippled, and then stop. But now he has decided that he must pursue and kill, because he suspects that among these people, there is a general of the Red Turban Army.
If this person can be captured alive, it must be a great achievement. It was precisely for this reason that strengthened Qin Nan's idea of chasing and killing the remnants of the Red Turban Army.
Qin Nan led the people to follow the traces they left behind and chased them deep into the mountains.
About two years later, the remnants of the enemy were again found.
Seeing this, Qin Nan and the others sped up and continued to chase forward, chasing and fighting fiercely, never to the death.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of water and a "crackling" sound in front of me, which was very rhythmic.
When Qin Nan heard the voice, he immediately frowned, followed the traces left by the participating enemy troops, ran over and took a look, and in front of him was a big river fifty or sixty meters wide, and the river was flowing in a hurry.
I saw a small bridge about half a meter wide on the surface of the river 200 meters away, which was made of wood. At this time, there were two people wearing red scarves who were digging the bridge, and it seemed that they wanted to chisel the bridge and destroy the plan of Qin Nan and the others to chase and kill.
In this way, the Red Turban Army, which had just fled, had already crossed the bridge, so they left two fortifications to dig the bridge here.
When the two red turban fortifications saw Qin Nan and the others coming, they were still desperately digging the bridge, and they were almost there, and they succeeded immediately.
"Shoot them for me. ”
Qin Nan gave an order, and two archers came up, opened their bows and shot, almost a hundred shots, and directly shot the two enemy engineers to death.
They screamed and fell into the river at the same time, where they were swept away by the flood.
It doesn't seem like it's deep, but the flow is fast, and it can take a lot of effort to wade through slowly. There is also the possibility of encountering terrorist factors such as undercurrents, which can lead to casualties among your own people.
"Fortifiers, build bridges. ”
The bridge was crumbling, and it looked like it was about to be washed away by drinking water, this was the only way for Qin Nan and the others to cross the river, and it couldn't be broken.
Qin Nan gave an order, and immediately, more than a dozen fortification soldiers carried axes and saws on their backs, and quickly rushed into the river.
"My lord, this bridge doesn't need to be repaired, we can rely on the buoyancy of the water to lift it, and then you can go straight to guò. ”
Among those fortifiers, there was a slightly older man who built the yì road.
"Can you?" Hearing that the fortification soldiers were going to stand in the water and carry the bridge, Qin Nan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked.
"No problem guaranteed, my lord, come on. ”
As he spoke, a dozen fortifications crossed the river along the wooden bridge, and the deepest part of the river almost reached their necks, and it was almost completely submerged in a little bit.
At this time, more than a dozen fortifiers stood in a row, shouldering the wooden bridge on their shoulders and trying to stand motionless in the water.
The situation is urgent, if it is a little slower, I am afraid that those red turban troops will go away.
"Cross the river in batches. ”
Qin Nan waved his hand, and immediately, more than a hundred soldiers were divided into several batches, a dozen at a time, and there could be no more. Although these fortifiers were able to rely on the buoyancy of the water to reduce their pressure.
But obviously this wooden bridge is very heavy, thousands of pounds of strength, and more than a dozen people running and jumping on it, the pressure directly rises exponentially, no matter how heavy it is, they can't stand it.
Qin Nan gave an order, and immediately, the first dozen or so soldiers trotted onto the wooden bridge and crossed over with a "ding ding dong".
It worked.
"Next batch, hurry up. ”
Qin Nan gave an order to arrange his soldiers to cross the river in an orderly manner.
In ten minutes, more than 100 people crossed the river and reached the opposite side of the river, and Qin Nan was the last to pass.
Then, everyone continued to pursue the remnants of the Red Turban Army. Mainly because the enemy commander was inside, it was for this reason that Qin Nan and everyone became very excited, and they felt that it was a bit of a pity to let go like this.
After another two hours of pursuit, it was already dark, and it was very inconvenient to hurry.
At this time, Qin Nan had to order to slow down, and everyone found dry firewood and lit torches, and began to pursue slowly.
Because it was dark, the line of sight was inconvenient, and the traces of escape left by the enemy were not so obvious, which caused great trouble to the pursuit.
However, slowing down does not mean that there is no pursuit, the darkness has caused trouble to Qin Nan's side, it does not mean that it has not caused trouble to the Red Turban Army, presumably they are the same.
Youdi, Qin Nan found that their direction was no longer to the east, but to the north. I don't know if it was done on purpose, or if it was too dark and too panicked, and I lost my way.
No matter what, the Red Turban Army suddenly changed direction, which made Qin Nan have a bad premonition in his heart. First of all, it is necessary to guard against their intrigues, such as diverting the tiger from the mountain, attacking the east and the west, and so on.
If it was just that Qin Nan's side was unfamiliar with the terrain, and they knew this place well, it was likely to bring Qin Nan's entire team to collapse, be eaten away by them little by little, break them one by one, and so on.
In an instant, countless thoughts rose in Qin Nan's heart, and it felt very bad.
At this time, he wanted to retreat a little, but now that he had been separated from the large army for a long time, he was afraid that if he wanted to go back, he would have to go until dawn.
And at this time, it is likely that the large army has already cleaned up the battlefield and advanced elsewhere. With all these reasons combined, Qin Nan gave up his plan to retreat, turned his direction to the north, and continued to pursue with a hard head.
