Chapter Eighty-Five: Jin Bing's Unexpected Discovery
There are fierce tigers roaring in the mountains, and wolves staring under the moon. This kind of image will tremble even in a dream.
The party battalion swore that it had never been as fearful and helpless as it was tonight.
At this time, the party camp was hiding in a big tree, holding the trunk with both hands, the clothes and armor on his body were soaked with sweat, and the saber at his waist had been lost somewhere.
As a division in the Jin Guohou army, he is in charge of more than 50 people, and the party camp is also an ordinary good family, relying on military merits, he fought on the battlefield for nearly ten years before climbing to the position of Yousi.
The thing that the party camp is most proud of is its own martial arts and its own pioneering achievements.
But tonight, the party camp was so frightened that he was incontinent, and at this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or shameful feces on his body.
The original party battalion was a surprise soldier attacking the rear battalion, and it went smoothly at first, and the attack was launched as expected, and the enemy on the wall also panicked for a while.
Full of confidence, he sprinted hard for the position of company commander, so he almost rushed to the first place.
But it didn't take long for a burst of screams to be heard, and the party camp saw a scene of fear that they would never dare to forget in their lives.
Vipers, really innumerable vipers!
With the help of the moonlight and the fire on the wall, he could vaguely see countless snakes spitting scarlet letters, and he seemed to be able to hear the rustling sound in the screams.
It wasn't that he didn't think about waving his weapon, but the snake pounced on him from all directions like an endless end.
In the face of this kind of death, it is simply impossible to arouse the pride of life on the battlefield.
Soon someone broke down, and then the whole group of men and horses in the back of the attack began to crumble.
The robe beside him no longer dodged the bows and crossbows shot by the Jin army, and ran for his life.
The two company commanders in charge of the command were killed in battle, and there were few divisions left.
I finally found Lord Sima's large army, only to find that the original army had also been defeated.
But fortunately, the brigade was still there, and the frightened soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief and took out dry food to suppress the shock.
But before they could report the situation, they had just finished counting the casualties, and those poisonous snakes appeared again, and they knew much more clearly than the brothers in the previous battalion.
Fortunately, Du Tan's order was fast enough, and although the group of people and horses were panicked, they could barely retreat in an orderly manner.
But what the party camp didn't expect was that the nightmare had just begun.
A tiger roar broke the temporary stability, and then the party camp saw that a robe beside him was suddenly pounced on the ground by a wild wolf that came out, and the sharp canine teeth pierced the unprotected skin on the neck.
The blood was still hot on the face.
Bears rushed out, panthers swooped down from the trees like ghosts, and even wild boars slammed into the queue like a madman.
The Jin army was completely panicked, many people's weapons were lost, and the blood not only did not deter the beasts, but aroused blood-red eyes.
The rout came as expected.
More than 1,000 golden soldiers scurried around like headless flies, even if there were warriors and brave warriors and the courage to fight, they couldn't compete with countless beasts.
It was as if heaven and earth had solemnly declared their sovereignty at this moment, and it was as if the beasts of the entire mountain range had come here, completely contrary to the general attack of cognition.
The party camp saw with their own eyes that Lord Sima, who was in awe in the past, fleeing like a lost dog, and his ears were full of wails.
In the panic, the party camp climbed a big tree to catch its breath, and it seemed to be safe here.
Everything happened so fast that it seemed that it was less than the time for a stick of incense.
The voices had begun to wane, and the party camp knew that this was a sign that the tide was turning.
The sky began to brighten, and the sun came out, but the party camp did not feel a little warmth, but a kind of bone-chilling cold.
The rear army is over, and the rear army he is proud of is finished.
Du Tan, who was running wildly, naturally didn't know that his subordinate Yousi had witnessed so many things and escaped by luck, even if he knew, it was impossible for a Yousi to be taken to heart by the dignified Du Sima.
At this moment, he seemed to be lost in the jungle with a few personal guards and Liu Dong.
The sound of the tiger and leopard faded away, and it seemed to be safer.
Du Tan leaned against a big tree and gasped, his eyes still had a trace of happiness for the rest of his life, and the soldiers next to him sat in a daze, completely devoid of their elite look.
"General, are we safe?" Liu Dong walked a few steps forward, the sweat on his face had dried up into twisted marks.
Du Tan looked around and said, "It should be safe." ”
Just look at the situation around you, but you can't help but feel sad.
"Where do we go next?" Liu Dong, who had lost all of his noble son's bearing, hurriedly asked.
"Wait a little longer, gather your troops and horses a little, and rest for a while."
After Du Tan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Dong to reply, and then said: "Zhang Wen." ”
"Humble duty." Zhang Wen hurriedly stood up, but the original heroic appearance was not embarrassed at this time, the helmet was lost somewhere, the armor on his body was crooked, and his hair was scattered on his shoulders at will, and the only thing that could still comfort people was that the sword in his hand had not been lost.
Du Tan glanced at his henchmen, and at this time he also lost his calculations, and just ordered to investigate the news and did it hastily.
The sun has come out, and the dappled sunlight scattered in the forest also seems to bring a trace of vitality to Du Tan and others, and some soldiers have found some water to give to Du Tan and Liu Dong, and the two of them are also unscrupulous about their image, and they have been fighting and fleeing all night, and they have long been unable to care about any demeanor.
Soon, soldiers saw the scouts gathered one after another, and after a while, Du Tan gathered more than 300 people, which made Du Tan's heart rise a trace of comfort and courage, but the loss of armor was serious, and the number of people with weapons in their hands was less than 20%.
After resting for a while, Du Tan decided to get up, and only by returning to the protection of the brigade as soon as possible could he be said to be completely out of danger.
"General~"
It was Zhang Wen's voice, and it was deliberately lowered.
Du Tan's heart tightened, was there an accident?
At this time, his rear army was at its most vulnerable, and any change could cause the men and horses that had been gathered with great difficulty to collapse again.
"What's the matter?" It wasn't until Zhang Wen ran close that Du Tan lowered his voice and asked, but the nervousness in his eyes revealed the apprehension in his heart.
"General, I have discovered some strange things."
Hearing this, Liu Dong also leaned over and asked nervously, "What's the strange thing?" ”
Zhang Wen also knew that this time was not playing at all, and when he pretended to be profound, he hurriedly said: "Just now, when I walked more than two hundred steps northwest from here, I found a few injured wolves and a big worm walking together, and I stopped from time to time to drag my companions. ”
"The humble duty looked weird, but he was afraid of startling the grass and the snake and hid silently, and after a while, he found that many wild beasts also went in that direction, and the general and His Highness said that the beasts were controlled by someone, so the humble duty thought that these injured tigers, wolves, bears and leopards might be related to the person who controlled them, so he rushed back to report."
Du Tan and Liu Dong looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Possible? Probably a hammer!
If it didn't matter, he Lao Du dared to swallow the sword in his hand.
"Take a few clever brothers to investigate, and remember to be careful!"
Zhang Wen solemnly received the order, and soon disappeared from the sight of Du Tan and the others again.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Du Tan's appearance at this time was obviously that his resourcefulness had reoccupied the high ground of his brain.
Liu Dong smiled slightly and said, "The general must have a plan. ”
Du Tan nodded and said in a deep voice: "If Ben General's guess is correct, the master who can control the beasts of the mountains and wild mountains must be not far away. ”
"In the fierce battle last night, it is impossible for Guan Chengxiao'er to have many troops to set up ambushes on the periphery, which is also the reason why we ran all the way but did not encounter the Jin army."
Du Tan said very sure as he walked, but the word escape was still embarrassed to say it in the end, of course Liu Dong would not be stupid enough to puncture, and he also nodded yes in agreement.
Du Tan paused and continued: "Last night, our army attacked the camp at the beginning, and there was no attack by the beast herd, and we didn't find it all the way, which shows that the person must be a certain distance from the Jin army camp. ”
"And Ben General expected that there were not many guards around this person, and Guan Cheng would not have thought that we had found this so-called mysterious master by mistake."
"If we can take down this person and force out a way to control the beasts, it will definitely be a great achievement for us and others, and if there is a conflict with the Liang State in the future, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
"Even if I can't let this person be used by me, I can kill him and cut off Guan Cheng's arm. In this way, if Guan Cheng and others meet Gao Yuan, they will also have a big help, and they can also buy us a certain amount of time. ”
"But the animal is alert, not to mention the injured beast, so after Zhang Wen investigates clearly, we only need a small number of people to quietly touch it, and then suddenly kill it, and we will succeed!"
After hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "General Du is really thoughtful, and Dong bows to him." ”
Du Tan waved his hand and said: "I hate that my elite armor soldiers were thrown in this mountain and wilderness so inexplicably, if this person can be submissive to my big gold, it would be good if he caught this person, otherwise he would be unable to survive and die!" ”
Du Tan said it fiercely, and the last sentence made Liu Dong shudder when he heard it.
Soon Zhang Wen ran back with a happy face, and Du Tan felt that there was finally good news.
"What's going on!" Liu Dong hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"General Hui, Your Highness, less than two miles away, there is only one girl and five armor soldiers."
"Oh? Can you see clearly? ”
Zhang Wen nodded fiercely and said: "There is absolutely no mistake, it is a woman and five armor soldiers, there are at least hundreds of beasts there, the woman wiped her tears and applied medicine to her, presumably it is the person who controls it, and the remaining five soldiers should be the guards." ”
"Very good, have you found out if there is a Jin army nearby?" Du Tan asked urgently, if there is a Jin army nearby, then you have to weigh it carefully, if there are a lot of people, then you will take someone to kill it yourself and send it away.
"General Hui, no, there is absolutely no Jin army nearby, otherwise we would have found out a long time ago."
"That's very good, Zhang Wen, you quickly dispatch fifty soldiers who can fight, and set off with this general, who wants to see who this woman is and dares to harm my soldiers."
Zhang Wen was shocked and hurriedly took the order and left.
After all, the Jin soldiers are elite, and it is still possible to select fifty capable soldiers, and the group followed Du Tan closely and rushed towards the target with a long sword of cold light in the dappled woods.
The soles of his feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, like a poisonous snake that had found its prey and swallowed the letter.
