At this moment, Cao Yiyi and Ren Chunsheng were walking very carefully, not daring to make a sound at all.
Ever since they joined Daxia's exploration vanguard team, they no longer dared to stay where they were and hurriedly retreated.
However, even though they acted quickly, what happened next did not go smoothly.
It can only be said that after Fusang discovered the traces of Ren Chunsheng and the others, in the subsequent actions, the power deployed by the Fusang Kingdom became stronger and stronger.
Originally, after the gathering, Deputy General Ren Chunsheng and the original leader of the exploration team were both day travellers. Logically speaking, they would be more powerful and would be easier to return to.
But the truth is exactly the opposite, because Fuso immediately stepped up its tracking efforts. The urgent tracking in recent days has made Ren Chunsheng and the others exhausted.
As for most of the trackers sent by Fuso, to be honest, their strength is not too strong.
But their methods are so weird that sometimes even Japanese travellers are unable to guard against them.
Just now, the original exploration team leader issued a warning, and everyone immediately retreated cautiously.
Ren Chunsheng only made a gesture, and the entire team seemed to be in tacit agreement without making a single sound.
However, during their retreat, Ren Chunsheng and Cao Yiyi were a little confused, why could Fusang find their traces so easily?
You know, they have been escaping into the deep mountains and forests these past few days. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to locate their traces.
However, the truth is so incredible that they simply cannot escape each other's tracking.
This time, they didn't know how long they had been running. Ren Chunsheng's deputy general and the previous exploration team leader breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Because under their perception, they finally no longer sensed the enemy's breath at this time.
But in front of him was an abandoned village.
The buildings in Fusang are square and much smaller than those in Daxia. At this time, the ruined houses are covered with moss.
Ren Chunsheng sent someone to check just now. It seems that no one has lived here for a long time. The villagers here must have moved elsewhere.
It's just that there doesn't seem to be any problem here. I don't know why, but it has become an abandoned place.
However, Ren Chunsheng and the others were not from Fusang after all, so they didn't pay too much attention to it and took the time to rest now.
The sooner you recover your strength, the sooner you can move closer to the main force.
However, when everyone was resting in the open space, Lieutenant General Ren Chunsheng suddenly warned.
Immediately after, the entire ruined village was filled with densely packed people.
Ren Chunsheng's face looked ugly.
It was obvious at first sight that they had fallen into Fusang's scheme and had been surrounded by them, becoming turtles in a jar.
"Quick, everyone retreat to the house, be careful of the other party's weird tricks."
Because he suffered from Fusang's weird tricks before, Ren Chunsheng had a flash of inspiration and immediately ordered everyone to hide in several houses.
"Ren Chunsheng, if your method doesn't work, we will all become turtles in the urn and it will be difficult to escape."
Cao Yiyi was leaning in front of the window at this moment, carefully peeking her head out, taking a look at the waiting posture outside, and then quickly closed the broken window coffin.
She didn't actually say everything. After all, they were scattered and hiding in the house. They were not just turtles in a urn, but more like fish on the opponent's plan board!
If the Fuso warriors outside don't care about their lives and don't want to be left alive, they may swarm in. With the advantage of many people, we may not have much power to fight back.
Ren Chunsheng was leaning against the wall at this time, seizing the time to restore his inner energy and shaking his head.
In these several confrontations with Fusang to escape, he was always acting as the commander and struggled for several days before being completely surrounded.
Therefore, even though he had prepared for the worst, when it came to the actual siege, he still felt a little depressed.
He still hasn't figured out why Fusang could find their traces so quickly. They had to take detours several times and almost fainted.
Ren Chunsheng's team now has two Japanese envoys, so he was able to successfully escape from the enemy encirclement before.
But they have already reached their limit, their internal energy has been exhausted, and even the joints all over their bodies are creaking and screaming to fall apart. At present, many soldiers are holding on solely by their will.
At this time, Ren Chunsheng heard Cao Yiyi's question. He first regained his inner breath, then let out a long groan, half lying and half sitting, and spread his whole body on the floor. Then he faced Cao Yiyi.
smiled and said:
"There is no way. The warriors like Fuso have too many weird tricks. We are exposed in the wild and are simply living targets.
Hiding inside the house reduces the area we need to guard against, so we should be more defensive.
However, whether this method is effective or not depends on whether the other party wants to stay alive.
but,"
Speaking of this, Ren Chunsheng suddenly stopped, then looked at Cao Yiyi motionless, and spoke slowly:
"However, if you really can't hold on anymore in the end, remember to escape. Even if we die, I and others will ensure that you leave."
After that, he didn't care about Cao Yiyi's reaction. He took a look and started adjusting his breath again, seizing the time to regain his strength.
There is a sentence that Ren Chunsheng has not said yet.
Even if everyone here dies, Cao Yiyi should not die, otherwise how could he be worthy of Liang Du?
I don’t know if the Fuso warriors surrounded the entire village and thought they had a chance to win, so they didn’t launch an attack immediately.
"It seems they really want to capture us alive. Where do they have the confidence?"
Ren Chunsheng, the deputy general of the Japanese Travel Envoy Realm, saw that the atmosphere was too dull at this time, suddenly smiled, and suddenly made a joke.
"Maybe they just don't want too many casualties, so they want to surround us first without killing us. They will only take action when our morale is low."
The day traveler from the previous exploration team was not so optimistic. As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Ren Chunsheng and the others.
Cao Yiyi almost snorted at this time, wanting to say something harsh about preferring death to surrender, but thinking that everyone was just a grasshopper on a rope, it was difficult to speak at the moment.
Knowing that morale is low, it is really unwise to say this at this time.
Seeing this, Ren Chunsheng's lieutenant laughed quickly, mixed a handful of mud with it, and said calmly:
"So, Commander Ren just said, let's take our time and see if we can come up with something."
That's all. The leader of the exploration team took off a gourd from his waist, tapped it with his fingers three times, and then listened.
This is when he was on the march before, he got a few snakes that were about to develop intelligence in the deep mountains and old forests, and soaked them directly in the wine.
This was considered medicinal wine, so he brought it over and no one said anything.
"I was in such a hurry before that I never had time to drink. In today's situation, it would be a pity not to drink."
After saying that, he made a gesture of raising a glass to drink, but it could be seen that he didn't seem optimistic about the current situation.
"Since Commander Ren said that the time has not come yet, Fusang seems to be setting up camp at this time and wants to surround us. There is nothing going on at the moment. Why don't we have a drink?"
The eyes of several old soldiers who had finished adjusting their breaths lit up, "Oh, but the wine you brewed with the demonic snake before?"
"Exactly."
The captain of the exploration team did not deliberately hide it. This was obviously a life-and-death crisis, but he still seemed to have a sense of ease and ease.
However, Cao Yiyi finally understood at this time. His appearance seemed a bit excessive, but it was obvious that he was adjusting the atmosphere.
Because he was discussing drinking with his playful smile, the soldiers around him were obviously not so nervous and began to relax slowly.
Sure enough, I am still too young.
Just now, Cao Yiyi felt that the other party had no military discipline, but now she realized that she was too young, and in difficult situations, she still needed to relax a bit, before tightening too much.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was obviously relaxed because of the topic of drinking. As for the Fuso warriors still surrounding him outside, who cares?
The worst thing is to eat and drink enough and die together with them. If you kill more, you will earn one.
At this time, Cao Yiyi also felt that she could not be too serious, so she followed Ren Chunsheng's example and chose a comfortable position to sit down on the spot.
Not to mention, the floor of this abandoned building is covered with thick "moss", which feels like a velvet blanket. It is extremely soft when you put it on your butt, as if it were covered with a layer of soft cloth.
Cao Yiyi knew that the two day trippers seemed to be relaxed, but in fact their attention was all outside, so she also relaxed, then casually pulled off a little moss and played with it in her hands.
While Cao Yiyi was thinking, the captain of the exploration team next to him had opened the wine gourd. Cao Yiyi's nose twitched, and the mellow aroma of wine suddenly entered her nose.
Well, these people actually want to drink at this time.
Except for Cao Yiyi who did not drink, Ren Chunsheng and other soldiers who were adjusting their breath did not open their eyes.
Only two day tour envoys and interested soldiers were left. They carefully passed the wine gourd around. Each of them took a sip and felt that his whole body was a little warmer.
"please."
Under the relaxed atmosphere of the two day tour guides, others were not polite, offered a modest toast, and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine was rich and mellow. As soon as they drank it, the soldiers felt a wave of heat rising in their stomachs and spreading to their limbs and bones.
With the stimulation of this medicinal wine, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed. Cao Yiyi watched this situation secretly and couldn't help but look at it with admiration.
Unexpectedly, drinking can also be a way to boost morale.
At this time, the drunken soldiers felt their condition and couldn't help but said:
"Good wine, good wine."
At this time, after seeing that the situation had stabilized, Deputy General Ren Chunsheng thought for a while and sat next to Cao Yiyi.
Of course he knew Cao Yiyi's special status, so he was ready to come over and let her relax a little.
"Cao Zhenwei, don't worry, even if we all die, we will get you out safely."
When Cao Yiyi heard this, she just smiled. At this time, Ren Chunsheng finished adjusting his breath, took the wine gourd, and took a big sip.
“Good wine.”
With the addition of Ren Chunsheng, the atmosphere in the entire team became more and more relaxed. After several rounds of changing glasses, the laughter became louder and louder in the end.
The more Cao Yiyi looked, the more silent she became.
Because, in a relaxed state of mind, she already knew what the deputy general meant during the previous day trip.
They already have a death wish, but they just want to get out alive.
At this moment, the leader of the exploration team suddenly put away the gourd and pointed to the corner of the window.
"You two, please take a look."
It turned out that after hearing the commotion here, the Fuso warriors may have felt that something was not right, so they began to press slowly and narrow the encirclement.
"Coming."
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the room were bright.
…………………………
The laughter coming from the abandoned village building made the Fuso warriors outside look at each other.
How could they laugh when it was clearly a dead end?
The middle-aged man, who was obviously the leader of the Fuso warriors, couldn't help but snorted and turned to discuss with the others.
Just as Lieutenant General Ren Chun's birthday envoy said, he was indeed throwing a trap because they really wanted to stay alive.
Otherwise, they would not have spent so long luring them into this place and then completing the siege.
This place has been prepared for a long time. Just now was their final preparation. Now they can finally catch these Daxia people!
"Get ready, come in!"
After giving the order, these Fuso warriors immediately set off towards the house where Ren Chunsheng and others were staying.
Naturally, they were very clear about the leader's thoughts. They needed to capture these Daxia people alive.
In this way, when it comes to the frontal battlefield, these Daxia people can be used to do many things.
But at this moment, the fog suddenly appeared. In an instant, these Fuso warriors were shocked to find that they could not see their fingers under the fog.
"What's going on!?"
This is not just a problem for the leader of the Fuso warriors. In the abandoned house at this moment, Ren Chunsheng and the others also looked at each other.
They were already prepared for a big battle, but the fog suddenly appeared and they couldn't see the opponent at all.
Moreover, it is obvious that the other party did not expect this situation, because there were constant exclamations in the mist?
"Pfft!"
At this moment, someone suddenly couldn't help laughing, and then, like a contagion, laughter rippled throughout the room.
Is this Fuso Samurai just here to make a joke?
With the mentality of wanting to capture people like myself alive, I had been planning for so long to trap people like myself in this ruin, and yet something like this happened.
…
No matter how much Ren Chunsheng and the others laughed at them, the Fuso warriors couldn't laugh at this moment, and the Fuso warrior leader's face turned blue.
Because, just now, Fuso Onmyoji told him that all the methods they had prepared to trap Daxia soldiers to death were ineffective.
Moreover, for some reason, they were countered and even entered an inexplicable formation.
This made the leader of the Fuso warriors look ugly and wanted to call them trash. These Fuso Onmyojis were really unreliable.
What was originally a trap that I had prepared for a long time turned into my own trouble!?
Where is the logic in this?
But fortunately, the night wind picked up again at this moment and began to blow away the thick fog, which made the Fuso warrior breathe a sigh of relief.
But then, they were surprised to find that the fog became lighter and lighter under the light of the blood moon, but the ruins of the previous houses were not included in the fog.
"No! Look, what's on the other side?"
The Fuso warrior who was originally preparing to surround Daxia's soldiers suddenly shouted in surprise, and everyone looked around.
Only then did they discover to their surprise that the thick moss that originally covered the entire ruins was rapidly receding, exposing the rubble, rocks and rotten wood underneath.
Immediately afterwards, the rotten wood was turned into beams and columns, the gravel was turned into bricks and tiles, and the piles of rubble were like going back in time and transformed back into the original houses.
Then the Fuso warriors felt their scalp numb, because immediately they heard a burst of noise, and the dead and ruined village suddenly became bustling and restored to its former prosperity.
The Fuso warrior leader could not help but widen his eyes at this moment and murmured:
"How is this possible!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thick fog rose again under the blood moon, and then gradually became lighter. The prosperous village just now disappeared in an instant.
Only the desperate Daxia soldiers were left, huddled among the ruined houses in front of them, as if the previous scene was all their illusion.
