Chapter 61: Border Thunderbolts

The breakout team penetrated deep into the Gobi, and its purpose was to bypass the enemy camp.

I wanted to cross the border from other places until the breakout team penetrated more than 600 miles into the Gobi.

Then go all the way south, but the further south you go, the more precipitous the terrain becomes, which is a huge test for the breakout team.

Because they didn't have enough water and dry food with them, they couldn't last long, so they didn't rush at all.

The weather is cold, the cold here is dry cold, there is not a little rain and not a trace of snow.

The sand and gravel were still mixed with the cold wind, blowing on people's faces in addition to a chill and a tingling pain.

The crowd went south and the terrain became more and more precipitous, but this was exactly what the team needed.

The more obstacles on the ground, the safer it is for them.

The breakout team has been moving forward safely for ten days since its departure, and everyone walked to the top of a hill, and Song Hailong motioned for everyone to lie down.

It turned out that there was a small military camp not far away, and Song Hailong understood it when he saw this small military camp.

By this time it was almost time to reach the border, and there were border battalions on the border of both countries.

Moreover, it is almost a small battalion in ten miles and a middle battalion in a hundred miles, and if the enemy is found in one place, it will be the whole line through.

As the so-called beacon fire rises thousands of miles, the horn is full of military camps, if it is a thousand mountains, it can be known for thousands of miles.

If the border battalion finds an enemy, it will act, and if they find that the enemy is not numerous, they will blow the horn.

One was to warn the enemy, and the other was to inform several border battalions around.

If a large enemy force is discovered, it is a beacon horn and a horn, which is also a means for border defense to transmit messages.

As long as Guo Xun and the others pass this hurdle, they will never encounter the enemies of the Nanding Kingdom again if they go south.

Each frontier battalion numbered about a hundred, with two watchtowers and one beacon tower.

If they wanted to pass the day, unless they went to heaven and earth and rushed hard, it would be impossible for the sixteen of them to pass.

Therefore, Song Hailong ordered the squad to stand by and wait until late at night when the enemy was tired and then sneak through the middle of the two border battalions.

In the middle of the night, Song Hailong led the team to prepare to cross the defensive line.

Guo Xun followed the team and released his divine sense to look around, but he didn't find anything strange.

Just when Guo Xun was puzzled, Song Hailong opened his mouth and said:

"Be careful, everyone! There must be traps everywhere in between, and it's better to say that ordinary traps don't step on thunderbolts. ”

There may only be six people in the breakout team who don't know Thunderbolt, Guo Xun and the others, Cao He asked curiously:

"What is a thunderbolt?"

Song Hailong replied:

"The thunderbolt is a kind of thing that can explode, generally buried in the soil, this thing is very powerful, once hit, it is not dead or half-disabled, once our Tang Emperor suffered a big loss from this thunderbolt."

Hearing Song Hailong's words, everyone panicked, Guo Xun frowned, the thunderbolt would actually explode.

And it's buried in the ground! No wonder his divine sense couldn't perceive it, it turned out to be buried in the soil.

"Then what should we do, if there is a thunderbolt, we will definitely not be able to get by!"

Ai Gufeng said worriedly.

"Don't worry too much, thunderbolts aren't everywhere, they're rare on the battlefield, let alone these inaccessible barren mountain borders."

Song Hailong saw that everyone was in a panic, so he explained with a smile.

"Oh! I see. ”

The old fritters in the other troops all smiled disdainfully, and they had seen thunderbolts, but they had never been afraid, this group of recruits was really cowardly!

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the breakout team slowly approached the border line, in order to better observe the surroundings.

Song Hailong divided the breakout team into four groups, each group of four people, each group was no more than ten zhang apart, and they moved forward separately.

At this time, there was a person in front of Guo Xun's group, and his feet suddenly felt like he had stepped on something.

At the same time, Guo Xun was keenly aware of a strange sound, and there was a click.

This voice was so small that it was almost undetectable, and if it weren't for Guo Xun's strong divine sense, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

Then Guo Xun shouted:

"Be careful!" And kicked at the person next to him, but it was too late, and this person stepped on the right thunderbolt.

A huge explosion erupted, sparks flew around, and a huge flash of light flashed.

The powerful impact blew the four members of Guo Xun's group away.

The four of them fell heavily to the ground, and the man who stepped on the thunderbolt didn't even have time to scream.

The lower half of his body was blown to a blur of flesh and blood, and his whole life was cut off, and he couldn't die anymore.

The rest of the people were frightened by this loud noise, and they couldn't believe that the Southern Peak Country would actually plant a thunderbolt on the border of this barren wilderness.

Soon after, they heard two bright trumpets, and the hearts of the people were filled with despair.

Song Hailong's heart jumped when he saw this.

Finished!

It's really over this time!

The sentries on the guard towers of the border battalions on both sides are chattering and joking at the moment to relieve the boredom of duty.

Suddenly, a flash of light passed in the distance, followed by an explosion.

The sentries immediately blew their horns, and all the barracks then poured out.

If the enemy attacked on a large scale, he would definitely be aware of it, and how could he wait until the border line stepped on the thunderbolt to find out.

So the people of the border battalion just blew the horn and did not light the beacon fire.

The border battalion farther away heard the sound of the horn, and then all the troops were on alert, and if the sound of the horn was heard again, they went to support.

Guo Xun struggled to get up from the ground, he shook his head, his head was buzzing, his vision was blurred, and the explosion just now shook his ears a little.

Then he found out that he was injured, and Guo Xun was strong because of his body.

Despite his proximity, the injuries were not severe, and there was only a long blood streak on his leg, which did not affect his movements.

Guo Xun hurriedly checked the situation of several other people and found that one of the other three was dead and two were seriously injured.

The seriously injured person was his friend Yu Dafu, and Yu Dafu was stepping on the side of the thunderbolt at the time of the explosion, so Yu Dafu was also seriously injured.

At this time, the other people in the distance had already been frightened and did not dare to act rashly.

Song Hailong shouted loudly:

"Don't move, go back slowly! If you go back the way you came, you'll be fine! ”

Guo Xun picked up the seriously injured two people and ran out the same way.

The other three groups are slowly retreating, but not all of them seem to remember the route they came from.

The group on the far left stepped on another thunderbolt, and another explosion sounded, but this time it was lucky.

One person was seriously injured, three were slightly injured, and finally everyone worked together to exit the minefield.

But the matter is far from over.

As soon as they got out of the minefield, they noticed a long line of bright fires shining on the hills on the far hills on the left and right.

The men and horses of the border battalions on the left and right were rapidly approaching them.
