Seeing the guards lying on the ground with their backs stretched out, Qin Feng picked up the walking stick from the ground, used the handle of the walking stick, beat and scolded the guards, forcing them to get up and continue on their way.
Qin Feng leaned on his walking stick and walked at the back of the team, one foot deep and one foot shallow, to prevent anyone from falling behind.
Unfortunately, everyone had reached their limit. After only walking two or three miles, someone fell to the ground. No matter how Qin Feng beat and cursed, he refused to get up.
"Master, I really can't walk...I don't even have the strength to move my fingers. My throat feels like it's on fire, and my body is so weak..."
The guard lying on the ground had extremely empty eyes: "You go first, leave me alone, I can't do it anymore."
Qin Feng was about to curse, but was interrupted by Ning Hu.
"Brother Qin, honestly speaking, how far do we have to go before we can get out of the no man's land?"
Ning Hu was also lying on the ground, weak.
It is meaningless to deceive again at this time. Qin Feng can only tell the truth: "There are still... four hundred miles."
Upon hearing the true distance, all the guards fell down with a crash, and their will collapsed in an instant.
Four hundred miles...
Normally, it would be nothing to the guards of the Tianji Battalion. However, under such conditions of wind and sun and extreme lack of water, all the guards' physical strength has been drained, and the daily extreme march has dropped to Twenty miles, that's it, Qin Feng still has to rely on beating or scolding to force him.
With the guards' current bodies, it would take at least twenty days to cross the no-man's land.
Ning Hu lay on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Give up. It's good for brothers to die here together. At least we have a companion on the road to hell."
Even Ning Hu said this, and Qin Feng's last bit of energy disappeared in an instant.
Plop.
Qin Feng knelt on the ground, looking at the desolate moonlight in the sky. He couldn't help but feel sad. He used up the last bit of strength in his body and shouted loudly: "What can the political enemies of the imperial court do to me? The Beidi army is just a defeated general. Today, the sky Do you want to kill me, Qin Feng?!"
Qin Feng stared at the endless horizon. He didn't know how long it had passed before he finally collapsed on the ground and gave up helplessly.
Even now, Qin Feng still firmly believes that no one in this world can defeat him.
It's a pity that people are not as good as God. In front of nature, no matter how strong people are, they are still ants!
Now, I just feel sorry for my parents, Xie Yun'er, four sisters, and two personal maids.
And Qin Xiaofu...Xu Mo, Zhao Yulong, Li Lang and Li Zhang.
And all the people of Beixi County who have high hopes for themselves.
"God damn it...I lost this time."
Just when Qin Feng had succumbed, a dense and rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly broke the tranquility of the night sky.
Hallucination…
Qin Feng looked numb and ignored the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
But as time went by, the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, until it was deafening, as if the entire earth was trembling under the intensive trampling of horse hooves.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Qin Feng can no longer muster any energy to pursue that unrealistic fantasy.
But when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the gravel on the ground was constantly jumping.
This is also an illusion.
Qin Feng slowly raised his hand and scratched at the constantly bouncing gravel, but the surrounding gravel continued to bounce. As the sound of horse hooves approached, even the pea-sized stones began to shake.
Isn't it an illusion? !
Qin Feng swallowed his saliva subconsciously, but due to long-term lack of water, his entire mouth was as dry as the surrounding earth. How could there be any saliva to swallow?
When Qin Feng turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, he felt that his numb and desperate heart suddenly came to life.
A cavalry consisting of dozens of people is already close at hand!
The guards also noticed the sudden appearance of the cavalry. They all grabbed their weapons and wanted to get up to fight, but no one could get up.
Beidi Cavalry? !
This place is the border area between Beidi and Gaoshan Kingdom. It is normal for patrol cavalry to be active.
But this place... is still in the no-man's land, and it is still four hundred miles away from the border. Why would these cavalry take the risk of going deep into the no-man's land?
Just when Qin Feng was puzzled, the leading general held the reins in one hand and the horse's pole with the other, pointed at the guards with the tip of the pole, and shouted condescendingly: "What are you? Who are you? The one who takes the lead?”
Facing the general's questioning, the guards remained silent. Immediately afterwards, Ning Hu stood up slowly, holding on to Bu Shan. Although he was exhausted, as if a gust of wind could blow him over, his attitude was still extremely tough: "You guys Who are they? Beidi patrol cavalry?"
Seeing that Ning Hu didn't answer the question, the other general's eyes sternly said: "You don't know whether to live or die! This place is our patrol area. If you don't declare your home quickly, otherwise you will all turn into dead souls under the sword!"
It is indeed the Beidi Cavalry!
Ning Hu gritted his teeth: "We are a Beidi caravan going to Gaoshan Country for trade, and we are trapped here..."
Before Ning Hu could finish speaking, the other general interrupted angrily: "Fart! The traditional trade route between Beidi and Gaoshan Kingdom has always been on the northern line! No matter how stupid you are, you can't set foot in no man's land! I think you are clearly Spies in disguise, intending to cross the border!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other general had already mentioned Ma Shan and was about to order this person with unknown origin to be beheaded first and then reported.
What the guards of the Tianji Camp feared most were the cavalry, which were difficult to fight at their peak. Under such circumstances, even the guards of the Tianji Camp, known as the peak of infantry combat, could only face a one-sided massacre.
Just when the other party took action, a light voice sounded.
"You are not Beidi Cavalry."
Who else could be the speaker besides Qin Feng.
Qin Feng leaned on his rifle and stared at the opponent's general: "This place is no man's land. Even the Beidi cavalry will not risk going deep. And... your war horses are not Beidi horses, but... plateau horses." ! You are the cavalry of the Gaoshan Kingdom, am I right or wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the guards' eyes changed suddenly.
Ning Hu also exclaimed in disbelief: "Gaoshan Kingdom Cavalry?!"
After Qin Feng revealed his identity, the other general waved his hand to signal to his subordinates to be calm, and then looked Qin Feng up and down: "Since you have seen through our identity, you are not allowed to stay!"
Qin Feng was already ecstatic at this time, but he was too tired and even had no strength to laugh: "We are not the Beidi caravan, but the Liang soldiers who have withdrawn from the Qingyu Mountain in Beidi. We just want to pass through the Gaoshan Kingdom. There is absolutely no harm in returning to Daliang."
"What?"
The general was stunned for a moment, and the disdain in his eyes disappeared instantly. He quickly planted his horse on the ground, dismounted, and ran over quickly.
