Chapter Forty-Eight: The Long Road

"Isn't it good for us to follow them? Even though there are more than sixty of us, it's still dangerous to walk in the wild. ”

Yougen looked at Lao Wang, whose face was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how far is Yinshui Town from here?"

"About three hundred miles, what's wrong?"

"With the strength of ordinary people's feet, can you walk in ten days?"

Hearing this, Lao Wang lowered his head and thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I can't get there, what's wrong?"

"If they can't get there, the crowd will rest, and as soon as the people rest, they will eat, but do they have enough food?"

Hearing this, Lao Wang's face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look at the crowd behind him, and looked at the basket filled with pork or chicken in the crowd.

"The people of the county town don't farm, almost all of them live by business, and they really don't have much food in their hands. ”

Lao Wang turned his head and looked at Yougen with a panicked expression.

"We had enough food to eat for several days, we really couldn't follow the crowd, it was too dangerous!"

"Three hundred miles, if you go around in circles, it may take a month. Yougen raised his head slightly, and the expression on his face was a little solemn.

"But we can hunt some prey in the wild, and in terms of food, we should be able to barely support ourselves. ”

Looking at the crowd walking towards Yinshui Town on the road in the distance, looking at the torches that stretched among the grass like the Milky Way in the night sky.

Yougen, who frowned, reached out and patted Lao Wang's shoulder and sighed.

"Lead the way, follow behind these people, alas, so many people don't know Yinshui Town, can they bear it. ”

Hearing this, Lao Wang pursed his lips, and a helpless look appeared on his face.

Beside Yougen, the stone naphtha holding the torch also cried and mourned.

The group followed behind the group out of the city, all the way away.

As the sky grew brighter, Liu Li rushed to a tower fort with his troops.

The tower fort is stacked with huge stones, covers an area of about five miles, is ladder-shaped, and cone-shaped.

Six meters high.

There is a flag on the top of the tower, and on the blue background, a lot of green squares are drawn.

The squares are so thin that the flag looks like a fishing net.

The tower fort has two exits, front and rear.

There is an iron gate at the exit.

There are obvious rust marks on the iron door.

There was a door in it, which was wide open at this time.

Thirty soldiers in armor and neatly dressed stood at the door.

They greeted Liu Li.

More than 10,000 soldiers were greeted.

On the other side of the tower, another iron gate is facing the opposite direction.

There were some cavalry, cruising.

The cavalry, numbering more than a hundred, were scattered around the tower fort.

Where the crossbow arrows scattered on the tower fort could not be shot.

Behind these cavalry, a few dozen miles away, 100,000 men were marching towards the tower fort.

These 100,000 people came from many places, from many tribes, from many counties.

So, out of 100,000 people, there are more than 100 generals.

Among the more than a hundred generals, there was a marshal.

The marshal's surname is Chen, his name is Fu, and he is twenty-six years old.

He is the son of the lord of Baisha County.

Chen Fu was dressed in iron plate armor and stood on an iron-plated chariot with a golden luan lid on top of it.

The chariot has a length and width of two meters.

At the front of the marching procession, the chariots and the people on the chariots were unusually conspicuous.

The rangers who returned from retreat quickly found Chen Fu, and soon reported the news found around the outer tower fort in Caoyun County to Chen Fu.

After getting the news, Chen Fu first frowned, and then laughed.

On the ruddy and slightly dark face, there seems to be a special magic in the smile that purses the lips indifferently, which can make those who see it feel at ease.

Feel intimidated.

"Order, the whole army stopped. ”

Chen Fu's voice was a little sharp, but it was not soft.

It sounds clear to every word.

It's like a whisper in your ears.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Fu's words fell, the herald who was on the side of the chariot raised the order flag in his hand and gestured.

The troops of one hundred thousand, which began to gather, stopped their advance.

There were more than 100 generals in the army, and more than 100 chariots drove out of their troops.

Drove to the front of the 100,000-strong army and drove towards Chen Fu's chariot.

In the tower fort, Liu Li stood on the top floor, his face frowning, staring at the square table in front of him.

After a moment of silence, Liu Li turned his head slightly and looked at the square table.

At the square table, Pember was piling square stones in the flat sand pile on the table.

"What do you think?"

"Lord, are you asking about war?"

"And what do you say I'm asking?"

"If the Lord doesn't say it, how will I know?"

“...... Lao Peng, how is the war going now?"

"The enemy's strength is too large to hold the tower fort, and the old grain stored in the tower fort is enough to maintain the needs of our army for half a year. Peng Yong stretched out his hand, grabbed a square stone lying in the sand with his fingers, and erected it with the stone.

"Therefore, the tower fort must not be lost. ”

"So we have to push the front ahead of Tabao. ”

Liu Li's face showed a miserable smile, but his tone was very cold.

"I will give you 2,000 soldiers to guard the tower fort for me. ”

"Yes, Lord. ”

Liu Li walked to the top of the tower fort, walked to the open window, and looked through the window to the outside of the tower fort.

looked in the direction of Caoyun County.

He looked to the west of Caoyun County.

looked at the mountain.

"I want to take a look at Chen Yunfeng's son to see how capable he is. ”

Peng Bo gritted his teeth, walked to Liu Li's side, showed an indignant expression on his face, and said: "Chen Fu is a child, he uses treacherous tricks to drive the beggars to win over the young master, Chen Yunfeng is a villain, he didn't dare to come with the county soldiers of Baisha County, but he invited a group of Xiaoxiao, all of whom are rats. ”

He knelt on his knees and knelt beside Liu Li.

These people are by no means opponents of the Lord. “

"Huh. Hearing this, Liu Li grinned, and a light mist floated up from the cracks between the nail pieces on his body.

The frost that shrouded Liu Li's face melted away in an instant.

Raising his right hand, Liu Li raised the palm of his right hand out of the window, and a soft cyan glow penetrated the skin of his palm, rippling like water waves in the night sky outside the window.

Walking on the road to Yinshui Town, seven days have passed.

The procession out of the city no longer gathered, and the crowd dispersed.

They were looking around for food, looking for everything they could eat.

Under the leadership of the roots. The beggars, who had been trying to keep their distance from the large group, also began to encounter crowds of people wandering around.

The meat in the basket has been eaten.

The county residents who fled out of the city have long been out of food.

The people live on food.

Look at the crowd everywhere peeling the bark of trees, digging grass roots, and already unbearable in hunger.

Look at the scarred ground, look at the bare tree poles that can be seen everywhere, after being peeled.

There is a deep understanding of the meaning of this passage.

As a result, his heart began to become anxious.
