It is easy for people to climb out of the rocks on the side of the cave with their hands and feet, but not for horse-drawn carriages, and the legs and feet of livestock cannot withstand the heat of magma.

Therefore, everyone had to abandon the car and climb out.

At that time, the raging red crossbow was smashing the human carriage to vent his anger, and no one dared to linger in the belly of the mountain any longer.

The more King Wei listened, the darker his face became. grabbed the tea cup on the table and wanted to throw it on the ground, but his hand was raised and put down, and he was reluctant to fall. Just ran for his life, most of the tea cups in the car were squeezed, and there were only two people left who could still drink water.

The most important thing is that now there are only two porcelain tea cups left in this camp, and what do he have to drink from if he breaks it?

He felt a pang of depression in his heart.

Without wagons, there are no supplies. There is a long road ahead, relying only on two legs, how can these thousands of people get out of the endless snowy mountains?

Thinking of this question, King Wei felt a splitting headache. He pinched his eyebrows before he had the strength to continue asking, "What about the men, how many gentlemen?"

"Mr. Lu is dead. "Mr. Cao is the rock beast, and he died in the heart of the red crossbow," Mr. Min was seriously injured and is now dealing with his injuries. The military doctor said that it is better not to move for a short time. ”

"Where's his injury?"

Ke Yanhua pointed to the position of his chest and abdomen: "This place has been burned by magma on a large scale, and the injuries are visceral. "Don't say that the epidermis and internal organs are burned, especially the liver and gallbladder are almost completely scalded. Thanks to the tenacious vitality of this Mr. Min, he would have died a long time ago if he were replaced by other soldiers. "The healing over the next few days was critical. ”

Even if the wound can be properly treated, if there are other complications in the next few days, it will be difficult for Mr. Min to get through it.

The more King Wei listened, the more upset he became, and waved his hand: "Okay, don't mention him...... What about Mr. Zuo?" "Among the three powers, Mr. Zuo is the most powerful, and he really has the ability to be unpredictable. Today's battle against the red crossbow, he is also the main force.

"Mr. Zuo......" Ke Yanhua hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to the last witnesses who escaped from the Red Crossbow Peak, he was also injured, but he was still able to move. ”

"What about the others?"

"His whereabouts are unknown, and no one has found his whereabouts. Ke Yanhua said in a low voice, "Wang, Mr. Zuo may have left." ”

"Bastard!" King Wei was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, "I usually treat him well, he can throw all these thousand people in the mountains, it's really wolf-hearted!"

Ke Yanhua clearly remembered the conversation between Mr. Zuo and his master before rushing out of the mountain, but he could only echo now: "Yes." ”

After the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly. It was cloudy tonight, with no stars and no moon, and the Wilderness Snow Ridge was soon plunged into darkness.

The road is steep when it's dark, and if you're not careful, you'll fall off the cliff, and it's always been a taboo for travelers to rush to the night. Therefore, Ke Yanhua proposed that all the staff be temporarily placed in this sheltered mountain col and set off again tomorrow morning.

Everyone was exhausted, and even King Wei, who was in a hurry to rush to the Howling Wind Gorge, could only agree.

So a bonfire was lit in the col.

The snow-capped mountains are too cold, and there are no wagons to protect them from the cold, so hungry and tired humans can only rely on the warmth provided by the flames. Water is not a problem, but what about eating?

Most soldiers had the habit of carrying dry rations with them, but the nobles who fled the mountainside did not.

Ke Yanhua distributed the limited amount of food, of course, giving priority to the nobles, while many of the guards had to sneak into the mountains hungry to hunt.

The atmosphere in the whole camp was sluggish and restless.

Wei Wang soon discovered a more serious problem:

Originally, most of the people who followed Wang Che to impact the exit were most of the top wealthy families in Shengyi, who usually held great power in the court, and were also the henchmen and dependents of King Wei, such as the Yao family. Only such people are qualified to rank behind the king's chariot in the ranks.

But they all died in the belly of the red crossbow.

This even includes several leaders of Yu Linwei.

These key figures are missing. King Wei now has less control over the army and the others who have escaped. This can be seen from Ke Yanhua's previous distribution of food.

Food was taken out from the soldiers and served to the nobles, and the former refused to accept it.

In the camp, there are many troubles, big and small.

It's sad to think about. When he walked to Wushi Fort, there were more than 4,000 people under his command. Princes, ministers, household servants and guards, all kinds of people, etc., although they are in a hurry, food and clothing are not much different from those in the palace.

But now there are only a thousand people left, all of them like lost dogs.

Empress Dowager Yao and Yao Liyan were both unfortunately killed, but King Wei didn't even have time to grieve. He was also overworked today, and he squinted several times and wanted to take a nap, so Ke Yanhua came to ask for instructions.

If you don't sleep well, King Wei's temper will not be good. But Ke Yanhua can't, and many decisions have to be made by the supreme ruler. If you don't listen, the trouble won't solve itself.

Ke Yanhua reported again: "There are many cases of soreness in the hands and feet, tiredness, and puffy circles in the army, and I am afraid that I am poisoned." ”

King Wei scolded angrily: "Is it also a disease to have sore hands and feet, is Gu terminally ill now?"

As soon as the words came out, I was also unlucky.

Ke Yanhua hurriedly said: "One person or two is enough, at least five or six hundred people feel that they can't stand up, their steps are trembling, this ......" Not all toxins react violently, such as drugs like soft tendons, which only make people weak and sluggish. He looked at the symptoms of many of them, and they were quite similar.

"If they can't get up, let them lie on the ground. King Wei was extremely annoyed, and waved his big hand: "Okay, okay, these things are up to you, and you don't need to report it!" Just don't make him sleep.

He couldn't do anything, Ke Yanhua could only smile bitterly and ordered someone to distribute the antidote pill. It's not okay if the soldiers can't get up, and it's easy to freeze to death overnight on the snowy mountains.

However, the number of pills is limited, and only 200 people are supplied.

King Wei wanted to sleep, but unfortunately this little wish could not be fulfilled in the end.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, from far to near, from faint to obvious, and people woke up from their sleep to find that the snow powder on the ground was shaking.

Is this something approaching quickly?

The sentinels patrolling the periphery also rushed back to report: "There are a large number of stone men approaching in the west and east, outflanking here!"

Stone Man?

Everyone gasped.

Where did the stone man come from on the Great Snow Mountain, do you need to say, of course it was sent by the Red Crossbow Mountain!

Ke Yanhua asked in a deep voice, "How many are there?"

"At least hundreds!" the sentry gestured, "the short ones are two feet, and the tall ones are two feet." ”

The hearts of the people were cold.

Ke Yanhua did not hesitate to order: "Pull out the camp and retreat west!"
