The weirdo who had been chasing everyone for nearly three hours, Prince Xian defeated them all in less than twenty minutes.
Except for the cold wind carrying drifting snow blowing past my ears, there was not a single sound in the world of thousands of people.
After a while, a cry of pain suddenly came from "Ouch". A soldier was so exhausted that he fell to the snow. Half of his body was buried in the snow, and his whole face was buried in the snow.
.
The soldiers around him rushed to save him, but they were still frightened after running away in the snow for nearly three hours. Now that he was still standing, he was already in good health, so this scene of rescuing people was
It just seems like a lot of work and effort.
Their movement could be regarded as bringing everyone back to their senses from the shock and sluggishness. Immediately the danger was over, the fatigue came up, and they all fell down with a cry of "Ouch". Only Vice General Rong and San Lang were still able to stand up.
Hold on and 'move' towards Qi Bao'er.
The scene in front of her made Qi Baoer's eyebrows jump. She simply looked away and glanced around. It had to be said that these people were really lucky.
On the way here, she had already noticed the place where these people were ambushed. After all, the supplies for the hundreds of carriages to reward the Qi family army were still parked.
It was a mountainous terrain, so it was good to choose a place like that to keep out the wind and snow. Even if you encountered an ambush, it would also be an excellent ambush location.
But it's no wonder that they chose the wrong place. There was no other way. There was a large plain outside the mountainous area, and the soldiers could not be allowed to spend the night on the plain.
For a team like them that transports a large amount of supplies, it is natural to carry as few personal belongings as possible to reduce the burden. Therefore, tents are generally of the single-layer type, which is convenient to set up and not difficult to store away.
Take up space.
This kind of tent can block light wind and rain, but it can be said that it has no effect other than blocking the moon in the sky like the heavy snow and cold wind last night and today.
Whose soldiers feel sorry for themselves?
And these people in front of me are now in the snowy plain after coming out of the mountain col.
In other words, after escaping from the encirclement of life and death, they have been spending their energy on the snow on a plain with things that are not tiring.
What's even worse is that they have been racing against life and death for a long time in this snowy plain, but looking towards the mountain col from here, they can still see the peaks over there.
"Sister, you are finally here. If you don't come again, you will never see your brother again." The third brother 'moved' not far from Qi Bao'er and sat down in the snow.
Lieutenant General Rong could no longer move over. He was paralyzed in the middle of the road, panting heavily and unable to speak.
Qi Baoer retracted her gaze from the direction of the mountain col, moved lightly and squatted in front of her brother, "Are you running to this plain by yourself?"
This question...
Sanyang paused for breath, and his tired and confused mind could barely recall what happened a few hours ago.
Qi Bao'er didn't rush him, just waited silently.
After a while, San Lang said uncertainly: "At that time, we were all ready to set off. Vice Admiral Rong and I were already at the entrance of the mountain col. After those weirdos appeared, I noticed something was wrong and told everyone to retreat. I didn't think much.
All I wanted to do was run outside the col."
It should be considered that they ran to the plains by themselves,,, right?
San Lang was not sure about something that he was originally sure about when his sister asked him this question.
Qi Bao'er nodded without any intention of explaining anything to San Lang. He stood up again and looked into the distance with frowning eyebrows.
What San Lang said is not difficult to understand. This should be the instinct of a general. In terms of the art of war, the mountain col is an excellent ambush location. The natural first instinct of the party being ambushed is to leave such a dangerous place first.
But considering the characteristics of one person living and one dying, Qi Baoer had to wonder if Sanlang and the others were being led to run towards the plain in order to tirelessly consume these soldiers to death.
them.
But, why?
What is the other party planning?
Are you here for a reward?
Or is it directed at San Lang or Lieutenant General Rong?
Or the capital city defense camp?
She turned to Wu Mian and asked Wu Mian, who had long lost his original leisurely look and was now in no better condition than San Lang, "Besides those who are still alive and dead, have you found anyone else?"
Although Wu Mian was in a sorry state, he was in good condition. At least his tone of voice when answering Qi Baoer's questions was relatively normal, "The general is incompetent and has not found any other living people."
He understood what the prince meant, and asked them if they had found the instigator or the people behind the scenes who were directing anyone to live or die.
Unfortunately, they searched within a dozen kilometers and found no living person.
Too much visual impact will make people ignore some problems that should not be ignored, such as those who suddenly appear alive or dead.
In fact, they are all corpses that can only move. If you are careful, you will be able to spot their weirdness when they appear at the beginning.
There is no breathing, no heat source on the body, hiding in the snow, but the clothes are not wet at all, etc.
But because these people, living and dead, appeared so suddenly and were so huge in number, not only San Lang and Vice General Rong didn't pay attention to them for a while, but Wu Mian, who was hiding in the dark, only noticed the number of people he could see at first.
.
This also made them miss the initial period when those who were alive and dead were surrounded by the army. There was a plain after leaving the mountain col, but there were forests on both sides of the mountain col and in the direction they came from, and many of them were huge.
A towering tree that only people can embrace.
Those who live or die have stiff limbs and cannot move their legs very flexibly. It is even more impossible to climb trees. Even if they are stronger than ordinary living people, they cannot hit those big trees.
In other words, the soldiers could have climbed up the trees to temporarily hide from the dead and wait for rescue; but Sanlang and the others were very natural, and even they themselves did not notice that they were being killed in the snow.
The chase lasted three hours.
If Wu Mian hadn't been secretly there, they would have had only one final result - to become part of a group of people who lived and died after exhaustion.
It took the soldiers three hours of hard work to get here, but the supplies and other supplies were still in the col. Their own food was also the same. They still had to get up hard and go back.
Fortunately, there are still hundreds of shadowless troops here, so I brought them dry food to fill their bellies first.
As for hot water and so on, just bear with it and wait until we get back to the col.
It's rare in a century that you are so lucky to encounter an army of people alive and dead. It's already good to survive. What more bicycles are needed?
As the army walked back, Qi Baoer finally remembered a question she had just ignored, "What were the casualties?"
Vice Admiral Rong and San Lang were both silent.
It seems that there are still casualties in this reaction.
She didn't see the injured or the bodies. She originally thought that these people were lucky enough to escape the disaster.
