20. Boys and Girls in Confusion(1/2)
"Run quickly, those county soldiers are chasing us. If we are caught by them, we will all be doomed!"
"No, this distance is too dangerous. This is obviously a trap. Those county soldiers must have received the news beforehand and were waiting for us to have a big fight with another group. They only showed up now when our physical strength is low.
So if you just run away, you will never be able to outrun those county soldiers who are waiting for work, so you must find a way to stop them."
"Since it was premeditated, their appearance here can be explained. But if the leader of the other party is not a fool, why not also ambush some people in front of us? Then we will not be able to escape."
"Hey, hey, hey! You crow's mouth, weren't you the one who just shouted, 'If I were the captain of that county, I would ambush a group of troops here and I would definitely win a complete victory' or something like that. In the end,
The pursuers were drawn out. Now that you say that again, do you really want to be caught by those county soldiers and paraded through the streets? I won’t do it, or I will kick you and run away!"
"Stop arguing. I remember there is a forest ahead. As long as we escape into the forest, we can kill those county soldiers."
Hearing these words, the little friends who originally felt exhausted all immediately felt wind on their feet, and there was seemingly endless energy in their bodies out of thin air. It was a bit like Cao Mengde's favorite work "Looking at Plum Blossoms to Quench Thirst"
Charm.
But what is different from Cao Cao's complete nonsense is that there is indeed a quite dense forest ahead, which casts a shadow under the strong sunshine, and for some reason, there is a light mist rising around the forest, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
I even felt that the forest was mysterious and unpredictable, and I remembered the famous saying that is widely circulated in the world: Don't enter the woods.
But to put it another way, maybe as long as they go in, they can make the group of county soldiers who have been chasing them for a long time return in despair, and they may even lose a few lives. This can be regarded as their response to this failed operation.
Let out a breath of bad breath.
"Speaking of which, why are we running? Although we don't have enough physical strength, I have observed for a long time that Yuan Da, who is always at odds with us, is not behind us at all. Even if he doesn't run away, he is not afraid of him at all."
"Mortal wisdom, we have to run just because Yuan Da is not here. Otherwise, just like when we fought against the group of people in Crouching Mountain and these county soldiers escaped, if we just finished fighting those county soldiers and Yuan Da fled,
What should I do if I get out!"
"But it would be better if Yuan Da came out even more exhausted than we are now!"
"Huh! The woods are coming soon. Let's wait until we enter the woods before we talk about these words!"
The leaders are all young people. Although it cannot be said that they are uncultivated, it is understandable that they have a somewhat grumpy temper.
Not to mention that they are now being driven around, so naturally they are not in a good mood.
But at least until now, even if they are complaining to each other, they still have a lot of hope in their hearts. But...
Pa. Pa, Pa...
Just as they were about to rush into the woods, there was a sound of clapping from the shadows at the edge of the woods. Before the young people who were driven like dogs could react, a group of well-equipped county soldiers came from
Slowly emerging from the shadows of the woods.
The number of county soldiers is not large, only about fifty. The equipment of the county soldiers is not top-notch. After all, they are not regular troops, but they are still excellent among the county soldiers, let alone those who have fled.
Compared with loose sand.
The guy who has been slapping his hands is the leader of this group of people. He looks about thirty years old. Because he has taken good care of himself, his real age may be a little older. He is wearing a light mail armor and has a belt hanging around his waist.
The handle does not look like a sword that can be used in battle, and coupled with the slightly frivolous steps, it looks more like a civil servant with little fighting ability than a general.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, there are a lot of Confucian generals these days, and the unique aura of those elegant and graceful people who are used to being turned into ashes while talking and laughing, mixed with the elegance of the literati and the straightforwardness of the military generals, is even more fascinating.
But the man in front of him had an extremely uncomfortable smile on his face. To be more precise, it was a rather obscene and sinister smile. Looking at his narrowed eyes, the two members of the fugitive team
Both women felt that the clothes they were wearing seemed to have completely lost their basic function of covering the body, and they turned into red temptations in front of each other.
"Who shouted that voice just now? It really made people angry!"
"Forget it, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Let's think more about how to get this over with."
"What are you thinking about? Just try your best. It's not the first time. Kill one and you'll be enough. Kill a pair and you'll make a profit. Let's get started!"
But this time, probably because too much physical energy had been consumed before, this desperate attack only lasted for a short time before becoming weak. Yuan Da, who had been waiting for an opportunity, still looked like he had a chance to win.
, looked at the two girls with a sinister smile as their movements gradually became jerky and slow, as if he could already see the ending.
"No, if this continues, we're afraid we'll be wiped out!"
"You're right, chief, you leave quickly, we'll hold them back!"
"Yes, the biggest wish of us useless people who have left our hometown and wandered far and wide is to seek revenge, but we do not have such ability. If it were not for the leaders, we would have died in a stinking ditch by now. So.
In order to avenge more people, leader, you must survive!"
In this tragic atmosphere, the defeated soldiers who seemed to be unable to fight anymore turned into the most courageous warriors. The fully armed county soldiers were forced to retreat in front of these guys who were like returning to the light, even if
Yuan
Even Da's personal participation in the battle could not reverse the situation... No, it should be said that Yuan Da, who had little fighting power, made the situation more favorable to the besieged. The strength of the attacks received by those defeated soldiers who were desperate to fight was weakened.
A lot.
After all, it is conceivable what kind of role a being like Yuan Da, who has little combat effectiveness and no sense of cooperation, can play if he joins a group of soldiers who work well together. He is just a proper pig teammate.
As for the county soldiers who were originally chasing behind them, their physical fitness could not be compared with the guys who were used to running away in various ways, so even if they still had some strength to fight, they were just mediocre at best.
After a fierce attack, the four leaders and more than a dozen of their subordinates finally broke through the encirclement and fled away.
As for the remaining defeated troops, they naturally became a tool for the angry Yuan Da to vent his anger.
Although they heard the sound of the wind bringing those wails from far away, and they wanted to go back to save people immediately, the four of them looked at each other, and finally sighed reluctantly. They sat on the ground dejectedly,
He stared blankly at the sky.
"It failed again..."
"It failed again..."
"Can we really succeed? With just a few of us who want money but no money, food but no food, and status but no status, plus some displaced refugees, can we really fight against a country that holds several states in its hands?
The princes of the land?"
"I knew it couldn't be done from the beginning."
"So why do we keep doing this?"
"Isn't it because the elder sister's words at the beginning, 'The sky can be used as a guide, and the spear is the proof, and where justice is done, life and death will follow each other' made people feel hot in their hearts, and then they boarded your pirate ship as soon as their heads became hot.
"
"Amon, what do you mean? Are you saying that everything the eldest sister did was wrong!"
"It's not wrong, but I always feel that although our idea is not wrong, the method seems to be a little wrong. It was a waste of money and food that we had saved so easily, and a lot of lives were lost, but the result..."
"Stop talking!"
"The result is that the most we can do is exterminate a few gangs of not-so-famous bandits in Runan County, kill a family of not-so-powerful gangsters, lose a lot of men, and get targeted by that bastard Yuan Da. After that, we
It’s nothing to gain, it’s just a waste of time!”
Hearing the words of this young man named "Amon", not only the several young men who were leaders fell into silence and embarrassment, but even those who were hiding far away could not tell whether they were refugees or subordinates of the defeated army.
Because "Amon" was a little excited and I heard some of his words, his mood was obviously a lot lower.
Sighed. The woman who was recognized as the "eldest sister" among the young people gently shook her long black hair that was tied up randomly. Although her expression was very indifferent, her tightly pursed mouth could still
It was obvious that she was feeling entangled in her heart at this time.
After a long time, her slightly hoarse voice sounded:
"Amon, you are right. It was actually me who caused the situation to reach this point. It was my insistence on dragging everyone into the current situation. Looking back now, I was just because of a temporary
I had such an idea only because of my righteous indignation. I originally planned to be an assassin. No matter whether I succeeded or not, I would be worthy of the lonely mother and son and the people who were forced to be displaced. Really. I never made any plans, let alone
I don’t know how far I can go.”
"Sister!" x2. Except for the young man who was not called "Amon", the other two people looked surprised.
It’s not that they felt that they were deceived by the “eldest sister” in front of them. In fact, each of the three of them knew what kind of existence the resolute woman in front of them was—beautiful, kind, brave, and strong.
, as the leader of these people, he not only sets an example but also constantly encourages them to overcome setbacks and move forward. He is almost a perfect leader.
But if there is anything about this leader that is not perfect, it must be her planning ability.
It can be said that except for this "eldest sister", the other three people all have certain planning abilities. Even if their abilities are more or less strong or weak, compared to standing there, they feel that their whole bodies are emitting golden light. In addition to charging forward,
Only the "eldest sister" who was charging forward was much stronger. If they hadn't been planning from behind, the "eldest sister" would not have known how to rush into the trap.
Rather than saying that they would be surprised by the "eldest sister's" one-minded idea, it is better to say that the "eldest sister" who is not such a person may not be able to accept it, just like Li Shushi saw Xiaoqiang who is not as crazy as others.
What really surprised them was that the "eldest sister" who had always been moving forward and seemed to regard failure as nothing could actually say such depressing words. For young people like them, this undoubtedly caused a collapse of faith.
Feel.
Only the young man named "Amon" was still indifferent to this, which made the other two young people feel a little confused and angry, but before they could express their feelings. What the "eldest sister" said next
This left "Amon" stunned.
"Amon, I believe that the encounter was definitely not intentional but just an accident, so I have always been grateful that you chose to follow me to make trouble until now. But we are not the same after all. When I met you before
You said you had a conflict with your family, so you went out to relax. In fact, you wanted to join your brother-in-law, right?"
"You are indeed the 'eldest sister'. I really want to deny it, but I don't want to lie to you, the 'eldest sister'."
"That's why I want to thank you. Obviously my brother-in-law is the leading general under Yuan Shu, and now he is under Sun Ce's command and is very important, but his brother-in-law is following me and thinking about how to cause trouble to Yuan Shu and that guy every day.
In fact, you feel very uncomfortable every day. If it weren't for me as an obstacle, you should be able to stand out with your ability."
"It's impossible~ If my brother-in-law finds out, he will definitely spread my ass and send someone to take me back home. And although I was a little confused at the beginning, I really saw what Yuan Shujun did.
To be continued...
