The breakout team finally got rid of the minefield. They wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but they immediately saw bright fire in the distance, and they knew that the enemy was coming.
Now their situation is not optimistic. One of the original sixteen people was killed just now, and there are still fifteen people left.
Seven of the fifteen men were injured, three so seriously that they were unable to move.
Although Guo Xun's injuries were not minor, they were barely able to sustain him for a person who practiced both physical and qi training.
Everyone stopped hesitating and picked up the wounded and quickly ran towards the rugged mountains behind them. This was their only escape route.
They ran away quickly, even if they were carrying someone on their backs, it did not affect their escape speed at all.
After reviewing their journey many times along the way, everyone seemed particularly anxious. After running for about five miles, everyone found a hidden ravine and hid in it.
As soon as he settled down, Guo Xun began to settle the wounded and check their injuries.
The three people were too injured to move at all, and some had lost consciousness and fainted.
Those who were slightly injured were sitting on the ground sweating profusely, with blood stains everywhere on their bodies.
The wounds were still bleeding out, and their violent escape just now seemed to have aggravated their injuries.
The other people who were not injured looked at the scene and started to get impatient, and then started arguing.
One of the sturdy men said angrily:
"Song Hailong, didn't you say there would be no thunderbolts? Tell me why we stepped on thunderbolts!"
Song Hailong was also annoyed. Thunderbolts were usually only used in wars. Because this thing was difficult to produce, it rarely appeared, but he never expected it.
It’s really crazy that Nanding Country would plant thunderbolts on such a remote wilderness border line!
When Song Hailong was feeling bored and annoyed, he suddenly heard someone shouting at him, and instantly became furious:
"How the hell did I know there would be thunderbolts buried here! Do you think I am willing to do this? Cao Fei, let me tell you, you'd better shut up!"
"What did you say!"
Cao Fei was furious, rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward, seeing that he was about to take action.
Cao Fei is a subordinate of General Cao Yan. He is a man with a bad temper and a short temper. Cao Yan's great respect for him further aggravates his bad temper.
Song Hailong is a steady person. He always puts the overall situation first when doing things. But at the moment, Song Hailong is upset. He will not let Cao Fei go and confront Cao Fei tit for tat.
Others hurriedly stepped forward to hold the two of them.
Cao He saw the two arguing at the side, as if they were about to fight, so Cao He dragged his injured leg forward and tried to persuade him:
"Both of you, please calm down. Now is not the time to argue about this! Now that some of us are seriously injured and unable to move, the most important thing is to figure out how to escape!"
When Cao Fei saw Cao He talking, he was still dissatisfied, but at this time he wisely closed his mouth.
Song Hailong didn't know the current situation, but he was also worried about what to do now.
Guo Xun looked at the three seriously injured people, who were now unconscious. Guo Xun used spiritual energy to check their bodies.
Two people suffered injuries to their lungs and were unable to recover.
Yu Dafu's right leg was broken and his internal organs were damaged by the shock. His life was not serious for the time being, but he could no longer move.
At this time, two groups of enemies on the left and right rushed towards the explosion site one after the other.
This area is desolate and barren, with few wild animals, so the two people coming from both sides realized that this was an explosion caused by the enemy trying to cross the border line.
When they saw that the explosion site was located inside the border line, and there were many messy footprints on the ground.
Then a body was found outside, which was enough to prove that it was exactly what they thought.
Because just last month they received a message on the border line.
This news was sent from the Biluohe border camp in Biluohe County.
It is said that the enemy is in the Gobi Desert behind, and it is said that some of them have been wiped out so far. It is said that there are still some people who don't know where they are.
The superiors required border security within ten thousand miles. It was after receiving this news that thunderbolts began to be laid on the surrounding border defense lines.
"Sure enough, someone tried to cross the border line, and we caught him this time. This is a great achievement!"
The commander of the first border guard battalion said happily.
"Yes! Is it enough for just us? Can we catch them?"
A deputy next to the battalion commander asked doubtfully.
"Thankfully you are still my deputy. Did you spot the enemy during the day?"
The battalion commander cursed angrily.
The deputy thought for a moment and said, "No!"
"Then how many people do you think the enemy will have! As mentioned last time, the enemy has tens of thousands of troops trapped behind us. They must not dare to show their heads! I guess this should be their vanguard. If you want to cross the border, it must be to send a message." The battalion commander explained.
"I see!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's search first, don't let Wang Su and the others get there first!"
Battalion Commander Ma Benyong ordered more than a hundred of his men to search the rugged mountains. Soon after, another group of border guards arrived.
Looking at the mess at the explosion site and the fire everywhere in the rugged mountainous area, they made the same decision.
Now is the time to grab the credit, and this is an excellent opportunity that cannot fall into the hands of others in vain.
The breakout team in the ravine gradually calmed down because of Cao He's words. The others looked at Song Hailong, waiting for him to make a decision.
Song Hailong gritted his teeth and said helplessly:
"We shoulder a heavy responsibility for this breakout. We must pass this hurdle! We must rush through it at all costs!"
Except for a few people from the original advance team, the rest of the breakout team were all veterans.
They all nodded secretly when they heard Song Hailong's words, but Empress Li refused at this time.
Although his strength is not high, this matter is related to his life and death, and he does not want to make fun of his own life.
Putting aside the enemy, the thunderbolt just now scared him out of his wits. The only thing he wanted to do now was to run away quickly.
Empress Li quickly objected:
"How are we going to get there! Didn't you see? Those explosions just now almost killed us, how are we going to get there! If you go, I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Empress Li rushed out. At this time, a person behind Empress Li grabbed Empress Li's arm and yelled loudly:
"Queen Li, you bastard, if General Li Mo knew that you were so greedy for life and afraid of death, he would never let you go! If you leave, you will ruin our affairs."
This person was also a subordinate of General Li Mo, named Tang Chao. Because Queen Li was a descendant of General Li Mo's family, Tang Chao took good care of him along the way.
But today when he saw Empress Li being so greedy for life and afraid of death, he couldn't stand it and cursed.
Cai Songyuan also opened his eyes wide. He never expected that Empress Li would be such a greedy person.
"Queen Li! I misjudged you, you are a coward! We have gone through so many difficulties, and you actually want to escape here!"
"Which of you is going to die? Who will go! I am too lazy to care about so much. If I die, everything will be lost. I want to live!"
Empress Li struggled to break away. No one could stop him from his determination to escape.
