Shao Zhen woke up from the pain in his hand. When he looked around, he was startled. He was lying naked on a pile of sand, with the hot "sun" shining on him. What looked like a mouse was gnawing at his finger.
After spending a long time, Shao Zhen estimated that the system had gotten him a character named Li Jun in a new plot. Although it was not in line with the convention, the system arrangement made sense. After looking at the panel, everything was normal. It might be a task in the mission.
Shao Zhen discovered that he was in a small oasis in the desert, surrounded by yellow sand. After observing it for several days, he must have found it to be a very unfamiliar script, because at night, there were two moons in the sky.
In the past few days, Shao Zhen hunted an animal that looked like a sheep and solved many problems. Based on observation, this oasis is not very far from the edge of the desert, so Li Jun plans to bring water and dried meat tomorrow to try his luck in leaving this small oasis.
The temperature dropped sharply at night. Shao Zhen wrapped himself in a sheepskin and got into a small stone cave nearby and fell asleep. He heard voices in the dimness. Shao Zhen was overjoyed, but as a habit developed through script training, he just slowly stretched out his head to look. , under the faint moonlight, four or five people came, talking as they walked.
After listening carefully for a while, I actually understood about 30% to 40% of the words.
It turns out that these few people are soldiers from some kind of Tang country. Their 20,000 troops are fighting against a Linsi country. Everything was going well and they were about to capture Linsi country, but their ally behind them, Quetu country, suddenly turned their backs. Alliance, and Lin Siguo conspired to plot against Tangguo. As a result, the army's food and grass support was cut off, and it was surrounded by heavy siege.
Due to the lack of food and grass, the army quickly lost its combat effectiveness, and all roads back home were blocked. In order to prevent the entire army from being captured, the commander issued an order for the lieutenant-level as the main body to fight independently and break out of the encirclement. The purpose was to allow lucky troops to pass through. Various secret paths were used to return to Tang State as soon as possible to bring in reinforcements.
Of course, this is just an ideal. Fighting alone at a distance is a taboo for military strategists. Unexpectedly, it was coupled with the betrayal of former allies. The coach divided what he could and took more than two hundred soldiers and disappeared into the vast forest.
At present, these six exhausted people belong to three different detachments. They were intercepted and killed on their way back home. Most of their comrades around them died in the battle. So they ventured into the desert to find their way back home. Two of them were The scouts and cavalry people in the army knew that there was an oasis nearby, so they gathered a few people here.
Maybe they really found water, maybe they were depressed for a long time, so they were so happy that they were a little incoherent. After listening secretly all night, Shao Zhen got a rough idea. Seeing that their black hair and dark eyes were similar to his own, he thought about it. When we met in some capacity, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came, and the small oasis suddenly became busy.
The leader of the six men ordered everyone to ambush, and one of them was hiding less than ten steps away from Li Jun.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses arrived at the oasis. In the faint morning light, Shao Zhen looked down and saw that their clothes and appearance were completely different from the six people in front. Li Jun guessed that these should be Lin Siguo's. They were carelessly taking their horses to drink water, but when they accidentally saw the footprints by the pool, they immediately went into alert mode and started searching loudly. Shao Zhen found to his surprise that he could still understand some of the words.
The searchers suddenly seemed to have discovered something, so they quickly mounted their horses and prepared to leave. At this time, the ambushers attacked, but the two Lin Siguo had no intention of fighting. They just got on their horses and ran quickly, and they were about to escape the ambush.
Shao Zhen jumped out, picked up two stones and threw them out, hitting the eyes of the two horses very accurately. The horses jumped up in pain and knocked the two Lin Siguo soldiers off their horses. The ambush people swarmed up. There was no one left alive after being greeted by random swords, and Shao Zhen quickly gathered the two frightened horses.
When everyone reunited, they simply asked Shao Zhen a few questions and confirmed that Shao Zhen was one of their own. In fact, the war was in chaos, and the only one who could kill the enemy unanimously was his comrade, no matter what part he was in.
The people in this foreign country looked similar and spoke similar words, so they were not considered outsiders. Although the leading scout still expressed some doubts, after all, there was a big difference between Shao Zhen's words.
Shao Zhen vaguely said that he came from an unknown island and was a secret soldier of a rare type. The others didn't know what was going on, but the leader believed in something, and happily brought Shao Zhen into the team directly because Shao Zhen was good at it.
The short crisis has passed, and everyone still has to escape to the depths of the desert as soon as possible. The leader tells everyone that if everything goes well, the next oasis will be found in five days.
Shao Zhen also knew that the leader was named Yang Yun, and Li Ling were scouts, the others named Sun Kai and Zhao Da were archers, and Ye Ri and Liu Wei were food soldiers. Shao Zhen said his name was Li Jun.
Since there were two more horses, the journey was much faster. Shao Zhen only listened and said nothing all the way. Yang Yun, who was in the lead, didn't ask any more questions. In fact, there are some shady people in every large army, so I just made it up casually. Yes, it seems that I made it right. Just go to a safe place and find an excuse to run away. I don’t even know what the mission of this script is or what the ending is. Just try to save a resurrection card.
Soon it was evening and Ye Ri suggested taking a rest, but Yang Yun objected and told everyone to drive all night. They had to go into the depths of the desert to get rid of the large group of pursuers.
Shao Zhen didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart, because before it got dark, Shao Zhen used his extraordinary eyesight to observe the gray smoke rising from the oasis in the morning, indicating that the enemy's army had arrived.
Once the opponent confirms the pursuit, it will probably take less than half a day to catch up. This is too dangerous. It will be different after entering the depths of the desert. The enemy army will not risk entering. At most, they will only send a small force. Shao Zhen thought about it and smiled bitterly. There is war everywhere.
After walking for midnight, everyone was very tired. Yang Yun came to Li Jun and said, let's take a rest. You and Li Ling will ride back and look back to see if there is a tail. Li Jun agreed and left on horseback with Li Ling.
After walking for a few miles, Li Jun jumped off his horse and said to Li Ling, "There are pursuers. Please pull your horse behind the small sand dune and prepare to meet me." Li Ling didn't say a word, but obeyed and pulled his horse to the sand dunes to secretly prepare his bow and arrows.
Soon a four-man team appeared. Shao Zhen could see at night and saw eight red figures from a distance. They were four men and four horses. Of course, Shao Zhen would not be merciful at this time. He drew his bow and loaded the arrow. Two consecutive shots were fired, both with one arrow piercing the throat. The enemy lost his life without even knowing what happened, let alone raising an alarm.
Li Jun and Li Ling gathered their horses, dealt with the test questions, collected the spoils, and caught up with Yang Yun with six horses. They really shocked everyone. Yang Yun's plan was to set up an ambush and wait for Li Jun and Li Ling lured the enemy, and then used Sun Kai and Zhao Da to ambush them. If they were lucky, they could keep all the enemies behind, and if they were close, they could grab one or two horses. Then I know that the two of them will complete it neatly.
The morale was greatly boosted for a while, and the six of them were able to ride horses. Although Liu Wei and Ye Ri were not good at it, they were able to travel several times faster. It would probably take several days for the enemy to find out and pursue them.
Shao Zhen was still silent along the way, and Yang Yun was not surprised. He did not arrange any whistles, but sometimes he would clean up the traces of everyone's passing. Shao Zhen found some small shrubs and other things, and dragged them behind the horse. Problem solved easily.
Two days later, he arrived at another oasis twice as early as scheduled. This made everyone admire Yang Yun very much. Not many people can find their way in this kind of desert like this.
During the break, Shao Zhen looked for the high ground and looked carefully for a while. Yang Yun came to him with a smile and said: Is it safe?
Shao Zhen hummed and said: At least there are no large troops anymore.
Yang Yun seemed to have asked inadvertently: I wonder who trained you so well?
Shao Zhen smiled and said: It can't be said.
Yang Yun nodded and said with a clear look: There is a woman in the team, did you know?
Shao Zhen nodded and said, both Liu Wei and Ye Ri are
Yang Yun was startled: Sure?
"affim"
"That's troublesome"
"Why?"
"In the army, only the headquarters has female soldiers, and they are all confidential."
"not understand?"
"Don't understand? They may have the password. At first, I thought that only Ye Ri was a woman, so it was just a coincidence. But if both of them are women, it must be confidential, and they are probably the most senior ones. No wonder After gathering with them, the pursuit continued."
Shao Zhen looked at Yang Yun with some sympathy.
Yang Yun said: You don't have to look at me like that. I have been running away for two months and there are not as many pursuers as the ten days with them. But what can I do? Don't say you know now, you just don't know. I hope everyone can Can you return to Tang Country? "
"The rest of the journey will probably be more troublesome."
Yang Yun saw that Shao Zhen didn't answer, so he left without knowing what he was thinking.
While eating, Yang Yun said while eating: We must continue to go deep into the desert, or go through the desert, and then find a way to reach Meng'e Country.
Li Ling asked a little puzzled: Why? Didn't we agree to follow our reconnaissance line back then, venture into Lanlou Country, bypass the missing map that betrayed the alliance, and then return to Datang? Do they think they will use the main force for a few defeated troops?
Yang Yun sighed and said, "Yes, ask them why." After that, he pointed at Liu Wei and Ye Ri.
Liu Wei's face suddenly turned red, but Ye Ri's face suddenly turned pale, and he said warily: How did you know?
Yang Yun said: Li Ling and I are scouts, and Li Jun is a secret soldier. How do you know we know? Sun Kai and Zhao Da looked at Yang Yun for a while, then looked at Liu Wei for a while, and suddenly said in unison: No wonder they are so clean. Walking so slowly.
Liu Wei blushed and said: This is not a secret in the army. The ones who hold the secrets are all female soldiers. When we broke out with the coach that day, more than two hundred of us were trapped in the shallow river beach. When the coach Gao Master launched the final assault , came to us and said, maybe no one can leave, and according to the rules, we are asked to commit suicide. We knew this when we joined the confidential department. But Mr. Gao couldn't bear it and told us to jump into the cold river and let fate take its course from now on.
"There are five of us, and each of us has one-fifth of the code. Unless the enemy captures us all and all five of us are traitors, the code will not be lost. After we jumped into the river, we went downstream, Liu Wei and I knew how to learn water skills and martial arts, and we walked all the way to the desert. I also knew that there was a reconnaissance line in the desert here. It was through my hands that this map was sent back to China. And although you don’t know it, Mr. Yang Me, I know you, and I met you when you were on a mission, so we didn’t dare to gather together the defeated troops we encountered several times, and we didn’t follow you until we met you.”
Yang Yun smiled bitterly: Don't talk about adults, everyone is running for their lives now.
Ye Ri said: Yes, the captain of the reconnaissance cavalry brigade will be in charge of hundreds of reconnaissance cavalry detachments. This adult needs to be addressed with respect.
Yang Yun smiled bitterly again and said: "Thank you for your praise." On that day, Quetu State said that it had important intelligence reports and led me and hundreds of brothers into an ambush in an attempt to annihilate us. However, their weapons were inferior and allowed us to escape for ten years. After a few came out, we fled back to the station with great difficulty, only to find that the main force of the army had dispersed and broken through. Since we were being chased all the time, we did not dare to look for the commander Gao Da's men, so we could only keep walking towards the desert with our tail. , and there are fewer and fewer people. I just flicked my tail and bumped into you, so that’s it. "
Sun Kaiye said with red eyes, that day we and the archery team of the Quetu Kingdom went to Heilin Ridge to ambush Linsi Kingdom. Who knew they suddenly attacked us from two sides, and our entire army of archers were instantly wiped out. Zhao and I I just ran out because I was lucky. As long as I don't die, I will kill these bastards.
The more Shao Zhen listened, the more bitter he became. They were all important people. Shao Zhen was sure that the enemy was setting up an ambush instead of stopping the pursuit. He estimated that there would be no way to survive if he encountered enemy soldiers next time.
Suddenly, Ye Ri said: Li Jun, I basically know all the secret soldiers in our headquarters. Although I don’t know their names, they are all familiar with them. They mainly protect us, but why have I never seen you?
Shao Zhen smiled and said: I was just sent from China, where I knew that the whole army broke through before they saw the commander-in-chief.
Ye Ri continued: Then who is your contact person?
Shao Zhen said casually: No. 3.
Then Ye Ri was stunned and said: Well, No. 3 is our captain, but he is missing.
Yang Yun spoke up and said: "Now we don't have a reconnaissance captain, and we don't have any secrets, secret soldiers, or archery teams. We are just a small team that hopes to return to Datang. I am the captain, and Li Ling is the deputy captain. You guys Do you have any opinions?"
Ye Ri looked at Liu Wei and had to say: No objection.
Yang Yun then said: Well, because of your status, you will never be captured, so we changed the route back to the country and no longer took the reconnaissance route by the desert, but directly crossed the desert and entered the neutral country Lanlou. , and then talk about it. Do you have any comments?
"It's fine if you don't! Get everything ready and set off immediately. We hope to break out of the encirclement before the enemy encircles us."
In fact, there was nothing else to prepare except water. The dried meat was Shao Zhen's mutton, and the dry food was from the captured pursuers. Riding on the horse, Yang Yun approached Shao Zhen and said, I will ensure your promotion after returning to China.
Li Jun looked at Yang Yun and thought to himself, I am a plot player, can you still let me be promoted?
Since both Yang Yun and Shao Zhen judged that the enemy was encircling, time was the only guarantee to escape from the encirclement, so they both rushed on. Due to the dry and hot climate of the desert, horses began to fall one day later. Yang Yun Instead, he decisively killed the horse, drank its blood, got some meat, and let the two women ride the horses, while the others took turns running after them.
Another day passed, all the horses fell, and the escape team finally arrived at the third oasis. During a short break, Yang Yun told everyone the good news: "We traveled the distance that others took ten days to enter the desert in two days." The enemy must be behind us, and encirclement is impossible, but pursuit is definitely possible. The bad news is that there are only so many oases I know of, and the rest of the way can only depend on luck. ”
