There are roaring tigers in the mountains and wolves staring under the moon. This kind of scene would make me tremble even in a dream.
The party camp swore that he had never been as frightened and helpless as he was tonight.
At this time, the party camp was hiding in a big tree, holding the trunk of the tree with both hands, the armor on his body was soaked with sweat, and the sword on his waist had been lost somewhere.
As a member of the Jin Kingdom's rear army, Yousi was in charge of an army of more than fifty people. Dang Ying was also an ordinary son of a good family. He relied on military merit and fought on the battlefield for nearly ten years before climbing to the position of Yousi.
What the party camp is most proud of is its own bravery and its first achievement.
But tonight the party camp was so frightened that he became incontinent, and at this moment he could no longer tell whether it was cold sweat or shameful defecation.
The original party camp was a surprise attack on the rear camp. It went smoothly at first. The attack was launched as expected. The enemies on the wall were also panicked for a while.
Full of confidence, he sprinted hard for the position of company commander, so he almost rushed first.
But not long after, there were screams from behind, and the party camp saw a scene of horror that they would never dare to forget in this life.
Venomous snakes, really countless venomous snakes!
With the help of the moonlight and the fire on the wall, he could vaguely see countless snakes spitting out scarlet snakes, and he seemed to hear the rustling sound amidst the screams.
It's not like he didn't think about waving the weapon in his hand, but the snakes rushed towards him from all directions like an endless stream.
In the face of this kind of death, it is impossible to arouse the heroic spirit of risking one's life on the battlefield.
Soon someone collapsed, and then the entire battalion behind the attack began to collapse.
Paoze beside him no longer avoided the crossbows fired by the Jin army, and kept running away.
The two company commanders in charge were killed in the battle, and there were also few Yusi left.
After finally finding Lord Sima's large army, they discovered that the former army had also been defeated.
Fortunately, the large group of troops were still there, and the frightened soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief and took out dry food to calm their shock.
But before they could report the situation, just after counting the casualties, those poisonous snakes appeared again. They in the party camp knew much better than their brothers in the front camp.
Fortunately, Du Tan's order was quick enough. Although the troops were panicked, they managed to retreat in an orderly manner.
But what the party camp didn't expect was that the nightmare had just begun.
A tiger roar broke the temporary peace, and then the party camp saw a man next to him suddenly thrown to the ground by a wild wolf that jumped out, and the sharp canine teeth pierced the unprotected skin on his neck.
The blood was still hot from the splatter on his face.
There were bears rushing out, panthers swooping down from the trees like ghosts, and even wild boars with their heads lowered and running into the queue like crazy.
The Jin army was completely panicked. Many people lost their weapons. The blood not only failed to deter the beasts, but instead aroused the blood-red eyes.
The collapse came as expected.
Soldiers with more than a thousand gold coins are scurrying around like headless flies. Even if there are brave men who have the courage to fight, they can't compete with the countless beasts.
The world seemed to solemnly declare its sovereignty at this moment, and it seemed as if the beasts from the entire mountain range had come here, completely violating the general attack of cognition.
The party camp saw with their own eyes the previously awe-inspiring Master Sima running away like a bereaved dog, and howling could be heard in their ears.
The panicked party camp climbed up a big tree to take a breath. It seemed to be safe here.
Everything happened so fast, it seemed that it took less than a stick of incense.
The voice has begun to weaken, and the party camp knows that this is a sign that the situation is over.
The sky began to brighten and the sun came out, but the party camp felt no warmth at all, instead it was a bone-chilling cold.
The rear army is finished, the rear army he is proud of is finished.
Du Tan, who was running on the run, would naturally not know that one of his subordinates, Yousi, had witnessed so many things and had a lucky escape. Even if he knew, Du Tan would not be able to take his thoughts seriously.
At this moment, he seemed to be lost in the jungle with his few personal guards and Liu Dong.
The sound of tigers and leopards gradually faded away, and it seemed safer.
Du Tan was leaning against a big tree, panting heavily, with a hint of happiness in his eyes that he had survived the disaster. The soldiers beside him sat blankly in twos and threes, completely losing their elite look.
"General, are we safe?" Liu Dong walked forward a few steps, the sweat on his face having dried into twisted traces.
Du Tan looked around and said, "It should be safe."
Just looking at the situation around me, I can't help but feel sad.
"Where should we go next?" Liu Dong, who had lost all his noble bearing, asked quickly.
"Wait a moment, gather some troops and horses, and rest for a while."
After Du Tan finished speaking, he said again without waiting for Liu Dong's reply: "Zhang Wen."
"I have a humble job." Zhang Wen stood up quickly, but his heroic appearance was now in a very embarrassed state. His helmet was lost somewhere, his clothes were askew, and his hair was casually scattered on his shoulders. The only thing he could do was to give people a The consolation is that the sword in his hand has not been lost.
Du Tan glanced at his confidants and lost all care at this time. He just ordered to investigate the news and then settled the matter hastily.
The sun has come out, and the dappled sunlight scattered in the forest seems to bring a bit of life to Du Tan and others. Some soldiers found some water and gave it to Du Tan and Liu Dong. The two of them did not care about their image, and they went through the whole night. Fighting and escaping had no regard for grace.
Soon, soldiers one after another saw the scouts gathering. In a short time, Du Tan had gathered more than 300 people. This gave Du Tan a sense of comfort and courage in his heart. However, the soldiers and armor suffered serious losses. Less than 20% of the people have weapons in their hands.
After resting for a while, Du Tan decided to get up. Only by returning to the protection of the team as soon as possible could he be said to be completely out of danger.
"General~"
It was Zhang Wen's voice, and it was deliberately lowered.
Du Tan felt nervous, was there an accident?
At this time, his rear army was at its most vulnerable. Any abnormal movement might cause the troops who had finally gathered together to collapse again.
"What's the matter?" Du Tan lowered his voice and asked after Zhang Wen came up to him, but the nervousness in his eyes revealed the uneasiness in his heart.
"General, I discovered something strange while on duty."
Hearing this, Liu Dong also came over and asked nervously: "What's weird?"
Zhang Wen also knew that this was not the time to be pretentious and said quickly: "I just walked more than two hundred steps northwest from here and found several injured wolves and a large insect walking together, and they kept coming from time to time. Stop and drag your companion."
"Bizhi looked weird, but he hid without saying anything for fear of alerting the snake. After a while, he found that many wild beasts were also heading in that direction. The general and His Highness had said that the herd of beasts was controlled by someone, so I wanted to think about these injured tigers and wolves. Xiongbao may be related to the person who controlled it, so he rushed back to report it."
Du Tan and Liu Dong looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
possible? Maybe a hammer!
If it didn't matter, Lao Du would not dare to swallow the sword in his hand.
"Take a few smarter brothers to investigate, and remember to be careful!"
Zhang Wen solemnly accepted the order and soon disappeared from the sight of Du Tan and others again.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Du Tan's appearance at this time clearly showed that his ingenuity had once again occupied the high ground of his brain.
Liu Dong smiled slightly and said, "The general must have some calculations."
Du Tan nodded and said solemnly: "If the general's guess is correct, then the expert who can control the wild beasts must be not far away."
"It was impossible for Guan Chengxiao'er to have many troops to set up an ambush outside during the fierce battle last night. This is why we ran all the way but did not encounter the Jin army."
Du Tan said he was very sure as he walked, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say the word "escape". Of course Liu Dong would not be stupid enough to expose it, so he nodded in agreement.
Du Tan paused and continued: "Last night when our army attacked the camp, there was no herd of beasts attacking them, and they were not found all the way. This means that the man must be at a certain distance from the Jin army's camp."
"The general expected that this person would not have many guards around him, and Guan Cheng would not have thought that we would find this so-called mysterious expert by accident."
"If we can capture this person and find out how to control the beasts, it will be a great achievement for us. If there is a conflict with Liang Guo in the future, it may be miraculous."
"Even if this person cannot be used by me, I can still kill him and cut off Guan Cheng's arm. This way, if Guan Cheng and others encounter Gao Yuan, they will lose a lot of help and buy us a certain amount of time."
"But animals are alert, let alone injured animals, so after Zhang Wen investigates clearly, we only need a small number of people to quietly touch it and then suddenly attack, and we will definitely succeed!"
After hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "General Du is really thoughtful, I admire you."
Du Tan waved his hand and said: "It's a shame that those elite soldiers of mine were abandoned in this barbaric wilderness without any reason. It would be better if this person captured this time can surrender to me, otherwise I must let him survive." No, I can’t die!”
Du Tan spoke harshly, and Liu Dong couldn't help but shudder when he heard the last words.
Soon Zhang Wen ran back with a happy face, and Du Tan felt that there was finally good news.
"What's going on?" Liu Dong hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Back to General, Your Highness, there is only a young girl and five armored soldiers less than two miles away."
"Oh? Can you see clearly?"
Zhang Wen nodded fiercely and said: "It's absolutely true. It's just a woman and five armored soldiers. There are at least a hundred beasts there. The woman wiped her tears while applying medicine to them. She must be the one who controls them. The remaining five soldiers should undoubtedly be the guards."
"Very good. Have you checked to see if there are any Jin troops nearby?" Du Tan asked urgently. If there are Jin troops nearby, then you have to weigh them carefully. If there are a lot of people, then you can lead someone to kill them and you will be killed.
"Back to General, no, there are definitely no Jin troops nearby, otherwise we would have discovered it long ago."
"That's very good, Zhang Wen. You quickly mobilize fifty capable soldiers and set off with me. I want to see what kind of monster this woman is who dares to ruin my military affairs."
Zhang Wen was shocked and quickly took the order and left.
After all, the Jin soldiers were elite and it was okay to select fifty capable soldiers. The group of people followed Du Tan in the woods with mottled light and shadow, and rushed towards the target with their long swords shining with cold light.
The soles of his feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making bursts of rustling sounds, like a poisonous snake that had found its prey and swallowed its seeds.
