Chapter 154: Finding the Way
It's a pity that at the last moment, Qiu Peng retreated back twice in the decisive battle, and in a hurry, his lieutenant thought that Qiu Peng was going to escape, so he made a posture of intercepting behind him, and Qiu Peng woke up in time.
However, Shao Jun couldn't help but secretly admire Qiu Peng's keen observation and quick reaction ability at critical moments.
"He escaped, and I don't know when, and how much jīng power it will take to catch him. Thinking of not knowing how many sins he had to suffer in this barren mountain and how long he had to suffer, Shao Jun's heart was troubled.
Immediately vigilant, he took a deep breath, calmed his impatient feelings, turned around, and smiled as gently and confidently as usual, and calmly said to the deputy general: "Wu Lian." ”
Wu Lian grimaced, and said with sincere fear: "The subordinates are here." ”
Shao Jun said gently: "I can't completely blame you for what happened just now. ”
Wu Lian's eyes lù with a sense of expression, "Thank you, Deputy Commander." ”
Shao Jun said lightly: "You now send people to search along the banks of the river to see where this river goes, and if there is a place where it can go down." Report to me as soon as you have any news. ”
Wu Lian replied, "Yes." "Then go down and arrange for the staff.
Shao Jun smiled gently, as if nothing had happened just now, and waved his hand calmly, "Everyone has worked hard, and you have done a good job." Everyone has been chasing for so long, and finally there is this opportunity, there is a river here, just camp here, tidy up a little, you should also take a bath. ”
Seeing the soldiers around him, with excited smiles on his faces, Shao Jun was vigilant for a while, and the continuous pursuit and escape was certainly a huge tempering and test for Qiu Peng, but it was also a long-term consumption for his side.
Looking at these people under him, they are very tired psychologically. It's time to end this chase-and-run game.
Shao Jun sat in the camp that he had set up for himself, gathered his subordinates from all sides, and asked about the current situation.
Shao Jun told Qiu Peng that there were nearly 1,000 people who came to hunt down Qiu Peng this time, in fact, in order to increase psychological pressure on Qiu Peng, there were some gimmicks in it.
At first, there were only about 100 people, but later in the previous defeats, more than 20 people were lost, so another 100 people were added, and this time he came and brought 400 people, but more than 100 of these 400 people were in charge of logistics.
Because there are many people, especially in the barren mountains and mountains, the supply of food and daily necessities will become a major problem. Unlike Qiu Peng, who can drink a sip of water when he goes there, and can satisfy his stomach by picking a wild fruit there.
As soon as there are more people, there will be more troubles, and when management and command are in command, there will be more coordination, preparation and consideration.
Therefore, at present, there are actually only about 400 people who can actually fight, excluding those who were killed and injured by Qiu Peng in previous raids, but it is more than enough to deal with one person.
In the evening, Wu Lian finally came back with news. "I sent two iǎ teams to search downstream along both sides of the river, and at a distance of about ten miles from here, I found that the steep cliffs on both sides of the river became wider and wider, and finally an iǎiǎ valley was formed between the cliffs. There, we found a gap that was barely able to go down, but further ladder ropes were needed to get up and down. ”
Shao Jun nodded and said briefly, "Take me to see it." ”
Wu Lian didn't dare to say that it was going to be dark, and it was very dangerous to walk in the mountains at night, so he had to nod his head. Shao Jun called Li Gang's apologetic teaching, as well as several other iǎ leaders, and then they went on the road together.
The sky soon darkened, and in the unfamiliar mountains and wilderness, the roars of various beasts were heard from time to time, and in the dark night it was extremely miserable, making people's hearts tremble.
The mountain road is very difficult to walk, with ups and downs, and there are often potholes on the road. In this kind of place, it is not so simple to fall a dog and eat, if you don't have a heart, you will roll all the way to the bottom of the cliff, and even if you don't die, you will have a layer of skin.
Fortunately, everyone has a field flashlight in their hands, and when they turn it on, it glows dimly in the air. With this little light, people were finally able to walk in the dark, and although they stumbled occasionally, they never had a major problem.
More than ten miles of mountain roads, but after walking for most of the night, at midnight, I came to the place I said.
The rock is still vertical, but the height has been reduced, and more importantly, there are many crevices between the rocks for climbing.
Shao Jun looked down at the cliff in front of him and said, "With this kind of appearance, it is impossible for a large number of people to go down and down. ”
Wu Lian nodded, knowing in his heart that with such a steep cliff, there were only a few people like him who could go up and down freely.
"I've ordered them to go around collecting vines, weaving ropes, and preparing to make ladder ropes, and when the ladder ropes are suspended, they can go up and down freely. ”
Shao Jun nodded, "How long will it take?"
Wu Lian thought for a moment and said, "At least one more day,"
Shao Jun frowned slightly, and said: "It's too long, we can't wait that long, you mobilize all the people to prepare the materials, and before noon tomorrow, it must be completed." ”
Wu Lian gritted his teeth: "Obey." ”
Shao Jun turned his head to Li Gang behind him and said, "Li Gang and Deputy Captain Shen Qi will go down with me to inspect first." ”
The vice-captain, known as Shen Qi, was a young man who heard Shao Jun's words, and his face was filled with joy and leaping joy.
Li Gang frowned slightly and said, "Young master, I think it's better to wait until dawn before going." The situation below is unfamiliar, and it is in the dark night, in case Qiu Peng attacks from behind, it is easy to have an accident. ”
It turned out that Shao Jun belonged to the deputy commander of the apologetic army, and he had a direct subordinate relationship with these officers of the apolologist army, so they called Shao Jun the deputy commander, but there was no direct subordinate relationship between Li Gang's apologetics and Shao Jun, so they had to call Shao Jun the young master.
Shao Jun smiled and shook his head, and said nonchalantly: "You know that I am also very cautious, and I naturally have my own reasons for doing this. ”
Speaking of this, Shao Jun turned his head to look at the dozen or so iǎ leaders brought by his subordinates, and said, "Tell me, does anyone know the reason for this?"
Shen Qi, who was called by name just now, was in a hurry this time, and preemptively said: "Because, when that guy jumped off the cliff, the possibility of survival was already very iǎ, not to mention that he had to drift in the jī stream for more than ten miles in a row, and most of them were already dead at this time." Even if he can survive, he must not be able to fight back at this moment. ”
Shao Jun nodded noncommittally, and another officer said: "At this moment, even if he is not dead, Qiu Peng must be seriously injured, this is a good time for us to arrest Qiu Peng." But we don't yet know exactly how big the valley is, what kind of terrain it has, and whether there is any other way out. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the surrounding terrain as soon as possible before we can make a plan to arrest Qiu Peng. Therefore, the deputy general is in a hurry to go to the valley to conduct field surveys. ”
Shao Jun looked left and right, and saw that no one spoke anymore, so he said, "There is another reason." ”
Speaking of this, Shao Jun's tone became arrogant, and he stroked the long knife on his waist in his hand and said: "My cloud-swallowing knife, but it has been tempered by the sect leader jīng god, how can it be so easy to suffer? Even if Qiu Peng can resist the poison on this knife, it can't be resolved in a moment, so even if Qiu Peng doesn't die at this moment, he definitely has no strength to resist. But if you wait for a few more days and give him a chance to get rid of the pressure in his body, at that time, it will be difficult to have such a chance again. ”
Li Gang's apologetics nodded, no longer insisting.
Shao Jun turned his head to face all the iǎ leaders and said, "After I go down, everything here will be under the command of Deputy General Wu Lian. ”
Seeing that all the officers were on order, Shao Jun waved his hand, preparing to climb down the cliff, and before leaving, he glanced at the second officer who spoke, intentionally or unintentionally.
