Shao Zhen listened to the discussions between several leaders in the team and several cargo owners, and decided to try rushing. Originally, it would be better to set up camp and defeat it before leaving, but at the beginning of the day, it would be too unfair to stop like this. After yesterday's battle, the morale of the team was high and there were enough horses. It might be possible to get through it after putting in some sweat from the horses. So the brigade did not stop, they just sent some more arrows to the bodyguards and continued to move forward.
The person who sent the order waved a small black flag and shouted loudly as he walked: "Big wolf pack, the archers are gathering five miles ahead." Dozens of people and horses quickly ran out of the caravan and followed the hooked nose. The captain didn't go, so Shao Zhen took the opportunity to run back to the tribe and find a hay cart to sit on. This way you can see further and take a break.
In the blink of an eye, the caravan's trucks turned into a large moving circle. The bodyguards were on the outside, the cargo carriages were waiting on the second line, and the hay and other supply trucks were waiting in the middle. The whole speed slowed down, and they continued to move forward step by step. Shao Zhen stood on the hay cart and secretly admired it: This was a real large caravan, better than the ordinary regular army. He suddenly thought, 'Maybe this is an army.' With this thought, Shao Zhen couldn't sit still. The more he looked at it, the more similar it became. Which country is it from? What does it do? Will it bring trouble to himself? There is no answer to this part in the plot. Do I need to use Li Jun’s identity to report to Sima Mansion?
The wolves were soon seen. Due to the attack by the archery team, they were densely hiding in the grass on both sides of the road. The sight of them was chilling to ordinary people. The Wolf King also saw that this was a team that was not easy to win. Therefore, no large-scale attack was launched. Occasionally, a few people who were not afraid of death rushed over, but they were immediately knocked down by the escorts.
Although the team was slow, it still gradually passed through the wolves due to everyone's efforts. The archers slowly changed from the front team to the back team, covering everyone's progress. During this period, except for the frightened horses neighing, they did not do anything. It brought new trouble, and soon it was past noon, and the entire wolf pack followed behind them, neither attacking nor giving up, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
Shao Zhen observed the terrain and suddenly felt a sense of danger. He looked at the hills far ahead and the highlands in all directions surrounded a small lake like a circle. It was estimated that the team would be at the edge of this small lake when night fell. Shao Zhen didn't know where this small basin-like terrain came from, but if the team reached the center, they would always be relatively passive, so he gave the captain a suggestion to observe the terrain.
The people in the caravan observed it, and the 'stewards' discussed it for a while, and then issued an order to find a slope to station. You can also treat some injured escorts.
When the wolves saw the caravan staying, they actually launched an attack. However, under the accurate and dense attack of the bows and arrows from the caravan, they had no choice but to abandon some of the wolf carcasses and retreat.
A simple station was quickly established. Shao Zhen said hello to Lao Chafu and returned to his tent. However, before he could sit down, someone came to invite him to a dinner party and a meeting.
He came to the big tent a little helplessly. There were already many people sitting inside, including several leaders of the team, some cargo owners and tribal leaders. Shao Zhen originally planned to sit down at the table so that he could leave early. But everyone suddenly Seeing Shao Zhen's arrival, they all stood up politely to say hello and offered their seats. Finally, at Li Jun's insistence, they sat on the right side of Lao Chafu.
After three rounds of drinking, the team discussed the issue of garrisoning. Shao Zhen quickly found an excuse to leave the tent so that he could go back to prepare equipment and restore his skills. Unexpectedly, the old doctor also followed him out.
'Leaving so soon?' was a very ordinary greeting, but Shao Zhen's heart skipped a beat because the old doctor spoke Chinese!
"Don't do it, I don't mean any harm." The old man saw Shao Zhen getting on the horse indifferently, and jumped on another horse and came closer. Shao Zhen smiled and thought about where to take action? Then how to escape? According to the plot, this person is a good person, but what if he is a player? At 10 stars and above, there is no protection for the confrontation between players in the plot. At 12 stars and above, player information is hidden from all characters. This scenario is level 13, haha.
The old doctor also smiled and continued to say in Chinese, 'If you really don't understand, just think that I am talking to myself, but don't kill me so quickly! I really don't mean any harm.'
'I am a descendant of the Meng family army of the former dynasty. I have been living in a foreign country for decades. But I am also a Han Chinese. Although I make a living as a dart boy, I will not betray my homeland.'
'No matter how you cover up your living habits, as long as you observe carefully, the flaws will be exposed. For example, you are very particular about cleanliness, for example, your medical skills come from the Central Plains, for example. . . . . . "
'I don't know what you do specifically, but for me, you have already made me suspicious.'
'But you are not the only one in this team. I found at least five or six people from all walks of life. The young man and woman in 'your tribe' may be the outpost of the Huns' black cavalry. Whether they are on a mission or not, I'm not sure, but I'm sure they are from over there.'
Shao Zhen wanted to ask questions, but he said in theory that he couldn't speak until he was absolutely sure, so he held back what he said. The old doctor continued to talk to himself.
'Because we Han people have been fighting with the Huns for hundreds of years, and now is the time when we have the best chance to uproot them. I hope our people can win.'
'I don't know when they will discover your true identity, but it is certain that your ability has made others suspicious. As long as they call in experienced people to investigate, you will be exposed. You really shouldn't show it. So excellent'
'Now we are still about a month away from the next Xiongnu barracks. You still have about ten days to be safe. It's up to you how to deal with it. Haha, I guess you basically rely on yourself in this business. There are still a few Han Chinese in the team, including the escorts and the cargo owners. It depends on your choice who can take the lead.'
After the old man finished speaking, seeing that Shao Zhen had no intention of answering, he turned his horse's head and walked away slowly.
Shao Zhen sighed helplessly, as if his original sense of luck had been poured with cold water. The real winner was the one who was following such a large group and silently collecting information. It was unlikely that he would be discovered. However, he performed too conspicuously and was carefully observed by others. Then the Han people's habits were revealed. According to the old man, the two people in his "tribe" are just investigators, not special agents, otherwise he might end up inexplicably. What to do now? Well, how about killing someone to silence her?
Shao Zhen thought about it and let it go. Anyway, there is still a period of safety. Let's arm ourselves with new equipment first.
One night passed, and I finally finished modifying a set of chain armor, as well as a complete set of armor such as a helmet and leggings. Of course, I was very tired, and the ginseng I brought with me was all used up.
But Shao Zhen felt that it was worth it. The new armor that could not be broken by ordinary swords now meant that he was invincible in a fight. Moreover, the small amount of blue light points obtained from the armor and weapons one night greatly optimized his mental strength. It feels like you can operate it without looking inside. But it’s just a feeling.
When Shao Zhen got out of the tent, he was startled by the scene outside. The entire camp was lit up with torches, and many people were busy. Many of them were using wood blocks and stones to raise a simple camp against the side of the hill. The wall almost looks like a city wall, and the number of wolves surrounding the city wall has increased by at least ten times compared to yesterday, and there are estimated to be more than 10,000! Li Jun looked at it and then entered the tent again. It was not that Shao Zhen was scared, but that the physical strength on the panel showed only 6 points, so he had to seize the time to restore his physical strength. A tough battle is probably inevitable.
Shao Zhen practiced for three weeks, constantly cleaning out the garbage in his meridians. Although it is not possible to release mental power externally, the internal vision ability has indeed been strengthened, so the effect is not bad. The Nine Yin Manual should have added another level of strength. In fact, if a person can definitely know that he is obsessed, then it is not too difficult to deal with it.
Then Li Jun fell down and took a nap. When he got up again, it was already dawn, and a night passed. But all the instructions on Shao Zhen's panel have been restored, and he feels refreshed and energetic.
After leaving the tent, he saw Lao Chafu, who seemed to be waiting for him. Shao Zhen smiled sheepishly and asked in Hun dialect, "How is the situation?" Lao Chafu replied with a worried look on his face, "It's not good. Now we are around." There are at least over 10,000 wolves outside. Everyone has been strengthening the fence since last night, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being, but there may be trouble after a long time. "
Just as he was talking, the captain sent someone to call Lao Chafu and Shao Zhen. When they arrived at the big tent, they saw that all the leaders were there again. The captain said with a tired look: "After our escort team's overnight assault, the basic fence has been built now. However, our escort team is a bit weak for defensive rotations or assaults. I don't know if you have any good suggestions." Woolen cloth?."
"This is what your escort team should do..."
"Yes, we have few manpower, what can we do to help?"
"I don't know how long we have to guard it."
"We should find someone to find reinforcements."
"It seems like all the money was lost this time."
"I want their escort agency to compensate"
"Stand and wait for help."
"Where are the reinforcements?"
"They cannot be allowed to shirk their responsibilities."
After listening to the various opinions below, the captain sighed in his heart and said: "We are not trying to shirk responsibility. If the goods are lost, according to the agreement, we should be able to compensate. But our escort team can break through, especially without you." If so, the chances of success are very high. What about you, what should you do? When you return to the country, how meaningful will our compensation be to you now?"
When the cargo owners heard this, their faces immediately turned green. The agreement with the escort team was to only protect the cargo and not the people. The cargo owners followed them with their own purposes. If they accepted the compensation and walked away, the remaining people would probably All we can do is feed the wolves.
"Okay, let's take part in various rounds of garrisoning, but you must take us with you when you break out."
"..."
"..."
After some bargaining, the result was that everyone took turns to watch. No one was exempt, including all the elderly and children. But except for the escort team, everyone else participated in the wolf killing on a voluntary basis. They first stayed for a few days to observe the situation and recover. Strength, and then if possible, organize a small team to break out and ask for help. If there is no way to give up the goods and break out, the escort team will protect everyone and evacuate together.
When everyone dispersed, the captain kept the leaders of the two tribes behind and said, "This time I have made you endure hardships. We will give you money and food per head for escort team treatment. You go back and think about what good solutions you can come up with." After all, you are more familiar with the situation around here."
Then he said to Shao Zhen: "If Lao Chafu agrees, I want you to become a doctor in the team. We will definitely have more and more injured people. It is always a good thing for everyone to recover as soon as possible."
Shao Zhen understood that this was taking care of him to a certain extent, but Shao Zhen had his own plan, so he said: "Thank you, captain, I will come back when there are more injured people. Let me show off first."
The captain smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a break too."
Shao Zhen and Lao Chafu also said goodbye and left.
When returning to the tribe's headquarters, Lao Chafu asked Shao Zhen to make arrangements for himself. The tribe would not reserve his time. If anything happened, he would come to him specifically. Of course Shao Zhen wanted it very much, and after saying that, he ran towards the wall.
