"Hurry up, hurry up! If you're slow and your daily schedule is delayed, see how I can punish you!"
When a fast horse saw that the team behind was getting longer, it immediately rode over quickly, shouting even more.
"Oh, when will this damn life of misery come to an end!"
The cavalryman patrolled around and came to several brothers walking side by side, complaining as he walked.
"Oh, come on, let's figure it out. I heard that the severe drought here started at the beginning of the year. There was no harvest for most of the year, and a large number of people have fled.
I don’t know how many people have starved to death, but now we have some who stutter, and it’s pretty good that we don’t have to work. "
A small leader with the rank of second lieutenant held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile.
"But...but it's really hard to live without a girl!~"
As soon as these words came out, several companions burst into laughter.
"Er Gouzi, look at your potential, if you don't mind it, won't we just find a few girls when we return to the logistics depot after our delivery is over?
If you really can't help it, wait and walk around to see if there are any refugees outside.
As long as you are willing to give a bite to others, you can play however you want! "
Hearing this, the soldier named Er Gouzi shook his head repeatedly, "Oh, that's not interesting. I heard that these fleeing women are doing a very bad job."
"Tsk tsk, Ergouzi, it looks like you've tried it before?"
As soon as such dirty jokes were mentioned, the boring mood of the soldiers suddenly became agitated, and they were all in high spirits.
Everyone was talking about dirty jokes while walking, but they didn't feel bored anymore.
As for the warnings around them, they didn't care at all.
The lowest among them is the squad leader, and the highest ranking is the deputy company commander with the rank of second lieutenant just now.
There are nearly 120 people in a company, and with so many people escorting a logistics team of 400 to 500 people, there is no need for people with official duties like them to keep an eye on them all the time.
In addition, they had walked this road seven or eight times without any problems. None of the blind knife bandits dared to come to their place to cause trouble.
"But our company commander's relationship is really not simple. The front line is fighting so fiercely, and we can still get such a good job. It is an advantage for us."
"Haha, isn't it? This is the third time we have besieged this kidnapper. The siege lasted for nearly three months in total.
Tsk tsk, I don’t know what kind of magical power this kidnapper has. He can survive for such a long time and be surrounded by 40,000 people! ~”
After chatting about dirty jokes, a few people started talking about important things.
In fact, if the fighting on the front line had not been too tight, they would not have been so armed as they were when escorting supplies.
Generally speaking, it is best to use military vehicles to escort materials in the wild. Although the configuration is still a company, the mobility will be improved and the safety will be greatly improved.
It's just that so many people have been transferred to the front line, so many people need to eat and drink, the logistics pressure is too great, and there are not so many military vehicles at all.
"Hey, did you hear anything?"
"movement?"
Suddenly someone in the crowd spoke, and these words made several people stunned. They listened carefully and shook their heads.
"Where did the sound come from? Are you crazy about women?" Someone laughed and cursed.
"No, I seem to hear the sound of someone moving above!"
As he spoke, the man pointed to the left and right sides above.
Only then did everyone realize that they had arrived at the entrance of a mountain pass.
This is the only section of the road with higher sides. As soon as you walk past this corner, the height will plummet.
In fact, it is not a mountain pass, only the higher slopes on both sides.
Seeing this kind of terrain, several people looked a little solemn.
But after everyone carefully observed it again and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, the deputy company commander still urged loudly.
"Speed up later. Let's speed up this distance. After a few hundred meters, let's rest where we are!"
This shout had a miraculous effect. Everyone really increased their speed when they heard that they could rest.
"Hmph! Don't worry, just go through here quickly and let's take a rest."
Deputy company commander Zhao He smiled and comforted his colleagues, then clamped the horse's belly and accelerated the march.
It's just that because they were distracted by chatting just now, they had already fallen to the middle and back of the queue.
A few people were about to speed up their advance when suddenly there were strange noises from the left and right sides above.
I saw figures emerging one after another, and then I saw this group of people starting to push piles of haystacks, or dead wood and rocks down.
Wow! ~
A large amount of debris fell down and soon cut off the pass not far ahead.
There are actually not too many debris pushed down the hillside. If one tries to climb, it is still easy to climb over.
But they are transporting a large amount of materials here, and they have to be dragged by carts and donkey carts to move forward. If they are blocked like this, they will not be able to move forward unless they move the debris in front of them.
"not good!!!"
Zhao He was immediately shocked, and the expressions of the squad leaders and squad leaders around him all changed.
"Be on guard! Be on guard!"
Shhhhh~!
A series of piercing police whistles sounded, and the soldiers began to put their guns on their backs and look around on alert.
At the same time, the large army that was cut off in front was also a little panicked.
Damn it, does anyone really dare to rob military rations? Could it be that the besieged kidnappers suddenly separated out an elite team and started attacking their logistics troops?
Something's just wrong. The kidnapper has long been besieged by the army in Fengxiang. It's hard to send anyone out.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
A squad leader looked at Zhao He who was standing aside.
"Let a few brothers let these coolies move away the debris first. Brothers, don't take action. Let all the nearby coolies help speed up the road clearing!"
Deputy Company Commander Zhao is quite rational. Since the people hiding in the dark have thoughts about them, there must be follow-up actions.
The main force cannot be distracted by this trivial matter right now.
He also noticed that although the main force was in front, they also had eighteen guns. He believed that as long as the opponent did not have guns, it would not be difficult to deal with them.
But the next moment, whoosh whoosh! ~
Bursts of sound breaking through the air suddenly appeared.
Then the wails continued.
not good!
Suddenly, I saw someone throwing many pebbles from above my head. These pebbles were not big, but they were really painful when they hit people.
Suddenly, the originally orderly team became even more chaotic.
"Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Don't fucking mess up!"
Deputy Company Commander Zhao yelled and fired upwards as a warning.
But the stones above are like raindrops, being thrown down constantly. It's useless even if you fire a warning shot, everyone is in pain.
"Boss! Listen, something is wrong!"
A soldier was lying on the ground with a serious look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Company Commander Zhao covered his head with his hands while also lying on the ground listening.
"Horse?! It's a horse!!!"
Almost as soon as Deputy Company Commander Zhao spoke, he heard bursts of gunfire from the rear team.
Bang bang bang!
Because their team was so long, the brother who was shooting in the distance was nearly three to four hundred meters away from them.
Seeing this, Zhao He could only curse, get on his horse and trot away in the direction of the shooting.
When Di'er took a look, he saw a large group of black figures in the distance approaching quickly.
Just looking at the distance between the two, Zhao He jumped up in anger.
"Don't even shoot! Don't shoot!!"
"Watch the distance! Watch the distance!!"
