On the eighth day of the lunar month, it’s close to noon.
When the hot sunlight shines down from the sky, the mountain road is silent.
The imprints of a large number of people walking through were now clearly imprinted on the mountain road, including wooden baskets, shoes, clothes, packages, flags and even large and small wooden furniture. The footprints of people and the footprints of various animals were disordered.
The ground spread out, weighing down the grass and cluttering the shrubs. When the mountain wind blew slightly from the shade of the trees, the rags swirled in the air and flew up.
Two figures walked out from the shade of the trees, looked at each other for a while, then made gestures to each other, and walked towards the valley to check the direction of the crowd.
The wind stopped and the two people's bodies were exposed to the sun. It could be clearly seen that each of them was carrying a weapon. One of them carried a bow on his back, and the other carried a crossbow on his back. Due to the hot weather, both of them were wearing single clothes.
But even so, the clothes they wore seemed to be pieced together and piecemeal, and judging from their seemingly agile skills, they looked a bit like hunters in the mountains.
Of course they are not hunters.
The fragmented scenes in the valley were left behind by those who fled after the Hangzhou War. Due to the large number of people and lack of order, it is actually very simple to identify the general direction. One of them is heading forward.
As he walked away, the other person was looking for things among the messy grass and discarded items, leaning over to pick them up from time to time, then throwing them away again.
When the man in front climbed up the mountainside and looked forward in the sun, the man in the grass suddenly discovered something. He suddenly leaned over to pick it up, looked at it, and wiped it on his sleeve.
. Not far away, his companion looked at the traces ahead and turned back from the hillside. This man also waved his hand and raised the thing in his hand. Under the sun, it looked like a string of precious bead chains.
After waving his hand, the man leaned over and rummaged in the grass again, but after searching for a while, he found no other valuable things. He stood up and looked at his companion who was walking over. Suddenly, his body shook.
Shocked, an arrow pierced his chest diagonally, and its tail feathers trembled in the air. Under the dazzling sunlight in front of his field of vision, his companion suddenly flew out, and another arrow turned into a black shadow and passed by...
…This was the last scene he saw.
The man holding the bead chain in the valley shook a few times and then fell down. In the grass, another figure got up and ran away quickly. Another arrow was fired, and two figures rushed out of the woods on one side.
, while running and drawing his bow. Then another arrow passed through the side of the man, bringing out a splash of blood.
The escaping man turned around and returned an arrow, then ran into the woods. One of the two men chased him. The other man ran towards the body in the valley. He turned the body over and then carefully opened it.
He took out the bead chain with his fingers, looked around, searched the body again, got some broken silver, cursed, then rummaged through the grass and bushes nearby, and finally found a few feet away, and chased after him.
The companion in the woods returned. The two looked at the bead chain together, and then also surveyed the valley for a while. They seemed to have found two more valuable objects before disappearing in another direction.
Soon after, under the scorching sunshine, a dark figure appeared at the mouth of the valley. The crowd was walking this way, and there was not much order. The first few people were riding horses, and the others were walking. At first, someone was weakly lifting his hand.
The larger one has the word "Fang" written on it, proving that it is an army that followed Fangla's uprising, while the smaller flags look a bit varied, like "Li", "Lu" and so on.
The clothes of these people are not regular, but most of them have dirty red cloth wrapped around their heads. Some people get tired from walking, so they take off the red cloth to wipe their sweat. Each person carries one or two weapons of various kinds.
Although they have swords, guns, swords and halberds, there are also a lot of hoes and rakes. Most people have little morale. If they are bandits, then only a few of them have the bravery of the legendary bandits. Most of them give people the impression that they are just farmers and some are thin.
It was unbearable to drag weapons under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, and walking feebly. Compared with the group of gangsters under Fang La's command who Ning Yi had seen who caused chaos and killed people in Hangzhou City, this group of people was far inferior.
One hundred people, two hundred people, three hundred people... When the people in front entered the valley, the team behind them was still stretching outside the valley. They were obviously following the traces of their escape. The few people who were leading the horses looked at the valley.
There were traces among them, pointing and whispering. When the team behind them walked past, they subconsciously kicked into the grass and rummaged around. Then they were pushed forward by their companions behind them. When this valley
When they were halfway through, a person in front turned around and pointed his riding whip towards the woods to the side, and some people went towards the woods.
For a moment, shouts suddenly came from the woods, and the shouts suddenly reached their peak, as if thousands of people were hiding in the woods and pouring out. The dark team in the valley was a little panicked for a moment, but there were shouts and someone was directing them.
, the people on the horses raised long-handled weapons, and those who could have bows and arrows in the team also took up their bows and pointed them at the woods. The first ones to escape in embarrassment were the companions who had entered the woods before, and then, the black crowd surged in
When they came out, they were dressed in all kinds of clothes. They looked shabby. The headscarves on their heads were khaki. Many people were looking down at them with their bows. What was surprising was that the group of people who rushed out of the woods were holding important weapons.
The flag is also the word "square", but above the other flags, the words "Si" and "Yao" are written.
The man headed by Gu Zhong was holding a big sword. At this time, he raised the weapon in front of the team and made a gesture to appease the men behind him. He looked at the people above him in silence for a moment, and then he said: "Yao Yi! What are you doing! We
I had no grudges in the past and no grudges these days. We both went north under the command of Commander Buddha, how dare you ambush me here!?"
The crowd in the forest surged. After a moment, a group of people separated from the crowd and came out. The leader was thin and had a pointed chin. He raised his head and looked down, making a gesture of contempt. Then he pointed to the flag on the side: "
Ambush you! Lu Sheo, I really want to ambush you! I won’t fly this flag at all, you are already dead now!”
Yao Yi's voice was also a bit shrill. As he spoke, he waved and jumped: "I won't kill you today! I, Yao Yi, put my righteousness first. I can't do such dirty things as secretly attacking friendly forces! But today I'm going to kill you."
Hand it over to me! Who are you, despicable sneak attacks, killing my scouts——"
The man named Lu Sheo in the valley was stunned for a moment, and cursed in dialect: "Damn it! Yao Yi! You have shit in your head! You don't even know what you are talking about! Your righteousness comes first, change your name to Yao
Damn, righteousness comes first, and now you are righteous at the back! What a despicable sneak attack to kill your scouts, I don’t even know..."
"I! My surname is Lu! Your people are the closest here. Let me tell you, not all of my people are dead. One of my people escaped, and he said he was one of your people! But after he said this, he died of poison.
, use snake venom, the people over there are the most powerful, have I wronged you?"
The two sides yelled and cursed, and soon they were getting closer and closer. Under the scorching sun, they seemed to be at war with each other. In the foothills on one side, two eyes flashed past, and in the woods a few miles away, there was another person.
An army was resting at this time, preparing to get up after the hottest moment and rush to the north...
At the same time, in the woods dozens of miles away from here, two people carried a stretcher, and one person led the horse, and they were moving quickly along a waterway through the forest. Naturally, there was one person sleeping on the stretcher, and it was Ning.
Yi and Su Tan'er walked beside him, waving a fan for Ning Yi as he walked, trying to drive away the heat for him. The person leading the horse was Geng Huyuan, who kept persuading Su Tan'er that she was pregnant, so it was best
He mounted his horse, but Su Tan'er just shook his head silently and refused.
They stayed a little longer in the rear camps in the morning and early morning, and by this time they had been abandoned by the team.
For them, it was really a complicated morning. The news that Su Tan'er was pregnant was confirmed, followed by the news that Ning Yi's wound was infected, leaving everyone almost at a loss. This kind of injury is common in
The fatality rate of battlefield knife wounds is even more than 50% these days. The injuries that soldiers who have been injured all year round cannot bear. What's more, Ning Yi is still on the run at this time and has no time to rest.
Originally, with Ning Yi in the family, everyone basically had a backbone. Even if he told Juan'er that the situation was critical in the morning, Juan'er and others would not be too worried, because this uncle in the family is so powerful.
There is nothing that a person can't do. However, this sudden turn of events in front of him almost made Su Tan'er stunned and didn't know what to do. But it was Ning Yi, after knowing the injury.
After a moment, he calmly gave the instructions.
Let the doctor who heals the wound prepare medicine, prepare to operate, open the wound, scrape off the rotten flesh, let the family prepare alcohol, needles and thread... In fact, for wound infection, in the absence of penicillin, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is not the same.
It’s completely blank. There are always some medicines and methods that can have a certain effect. After all, there are doctors in the refugee flow who will bring medicinal materials, collect the medicines through Qian Haiping, boil the medicine on the spot, and ask the doctor for a second time.
He was afraid that the doctor would not be able to do things like treating the wound, disinfecting it, and suturing it with needles and threads, so he even asked Su Tan'er and a few maids to wait nearby - in fact, he did not see who sutured him in the end.
Without anesthesia for the wound, he gave up resistance and fainted after only halfway through the operation.
Due to the wound treatment, when the team set off again, they were unable to follow. However, Su Tan'er had already regained her decisiveness at this time. She only left three nurses and two horses behind, one of which was given to Ning Yi to treat the wound.
Doctor, so that the doctor could quickly follow the team later. After that, even Chan'er, Juan'er and Xing'er were resolutely arranged to be among the first to leave. After knowing the news that she was pregnant, she almost had a double pregnancy.
They were so determined that others at home could not refute them. In this way, they healed the injuries, prepared the medicine, and fed Ning Yi, who was in a coma, some mouth-to-mouth. A few people just carried the stretcher and set off. Due to the hot weather,
Su Tan'er kept fanning Ning Yi on the way.
The afternoon sun continued to shine through the gaps between the trees. Gradually there was a slight wind, and the sound of cicadas was heard along the way. After all, the quality of the nurses in the Su family was better than that of the ordinary soldiers. At this time, the two people carrying the stretcher were also
Walking like flying. Feeling the cool breeze, Geng Huyuan tried to persuade Su Tan'er to get on the horse again. Su Tan'er shook her head: "It's okay." She paused for a moment, not knowing what to think, and then said: "Fang La's people can't catch up.
So fast……"
"But... Miss... you have a child in your belly. If you think about my uncle, he doesn't want to..."
"I'd rather not have this child!" She tilted her head and replied, holding Ning Yi's hand on the stretcher with one hand tremblingly, tears flashing slightly in her eyes, and she walked quickly along with the stretcher, "I am now
...I just want him to get better! I...I'm not that dignified, Uncle Geng, don't worry..."
"but……"
Before Geng Huyuan finished speaking, another voice rang out: "Ah... my wife is not so dignified, I know..."
Ning Yi held Su Tan'er's hand and slowly opened his eyes on the stretcher. Then, he took a deep breath. When he woke up from the stretcher, he used a modern name, but naturally no one was there at this time.
Upon further investigation, everyone was excited and moved forward for a while before Ning Yi waved his hand on the stretcher: "Stop...stop..."
In the morning, Juan'er only thought that he had a slight cold, and everything else was fine. However, he fainted during the operation, which naturally shocked everyone. But when he got up, although it seemed difficult at first, he then got a blow.
Yawning, he gradually recovered: "I had a good sleep this time, thank you all..."
After saying this, Ning Yi walked out of the woods and washed his face by the river next to him. Su Tan'er followed and touched his forehead, but it was still hot. Ning Yi drank what he had brought with him along the way, and the rest
Importantly, he hugged Su Tan'er by the river and put his ears on her belly. Su Tan'er started crying and shook her head: "It didn't take long, it didn't take long, I'm fine."
"I know... In the morning, I could have endured it if I had to resist, but I fainted on purpose. Now I need to take a rest and regain my energy. I know you are in good health, so we have to catch up with the team quickly now, and then
Do something, okay?" After saying these words with a smile, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You have my child in your belly, no matter what, I have to keep you safe."
"Are you okay? The doctor said...the doctor said..."
"It's okay for now. I'm sensible. Don't worry."
He answered like this, rode on the horse with Su Tan'er, told Geng Huyuan and others to catch up quickly, and then chased after the fleeing team.
In the absence of adequate living conditions, wound infection among soldiers after injury can lead to a fatality rate of up to 50%. However, even when there is no penicillin, good care such as that of Nightingale's medical team can still reduce the possibility of wound infection.
It is reduced to less than 2%. Of course, if the infection is already infected, even if the wound is cured and good care is provided, this is not the case. He will still face the threat of extremely high fatality rate and can only use traditional Chinese medicine treatment at this time.
The method and own physical fitness can resist the past.
He will still have a fever and may fall into a coma after that, but now is not the time to sit back and wait for death. At the moment, he can still do something to at least minimize the fatality rate of military disasters.
He actually doesn't care about the children, but now, he cares more about his wife and these family members.
No matter what method is used, they must be sent back!
The horses ran out of the woods at a medium speed to take care of pregnant women, chasing the fleeing team ahead...
In the afternoon, Chen Xingdu rode up the hillside, opened the map, looked at the winding team below, and waited for the return of groups of scouts.
He is thirty-four years old this year and is still young. He does not look very majestic. He is not the highest-ranking general in the Wude camp, not even a deputy. In the past, his status was in a low-level position.
He is in a low position, he is not very good at dancing, and he has no overt domineering or natural leadership ability. But now, through some strange combination of circumstances, he has become the military commander of this disintegrated team of nearly ten thousand people. To him, he is a
Huge pressure, but of course he also understands that this is also a huge opportunity.
The Wude Camp guarded Hangzhou for less than half a month and collapsed. When the accounts are settled after the autumn, all generals from high-level to mid-level will be liquidated, and he is among them. But now this team has gathered nearly half of the rich and powerful people in Hangzhou.
As long as he can take them out and let these people remember this favor, even if he can't immediately become the capital commander in the future, a deputy capital commander's title will definitely be indispensable. The future is limitless, but the problem is that this team
The team will also become the key tracking target of Fang La's army. On the way to Huzhou and Jiaxing, there are still bandits making trouble. With no way forward and pursuers behind him, he doesn't know how to get there.
, he was not good at it to begin with.
A group of scouts who had been deployed farther away had returned not long ago. Several groups of Fang La's army had already begun to move north. The target might be Huzhou. What the scouts saw was that the army chased and killed a group of fleeing residents on the way. The people were almost killed.
They killed them all, and the bandits continued to kill after looting easily portable belongings. They seemed to be looking for different traces of escape along the way. In the past two days, everyone analyzed the possibility that Fang La would go straight to Jiaxing, but now there are actually several
When the army came to Huzhou, Chen Xing was confused for a while.
"General Chen." The honorific voice came from the side. Also riding up was Qian Haiping of the Qian family. Chen Xingdu saluted: "Brother Qian has defeated my younger brother. How can I be a general? Oh,
Mr. Qian said before that he would persuade those people to donate some property as a way to deceive the enemy, but I wonder how the talks went?"
Such a large-scale team moved forward in a mighty manner, leaving a lot of messages, and occasionally someone would even fall behind. Qian Haiping guessed that Fang La's army would definitely track the team carrying more property, so he wanted to persuade the team
The big investors donated part of the burden, but at this time, it seems that there is not much result.
"Although everyone agreed for a while, they then argued endlessly over each family's share. These people were so short-sighted when this happened. It's really... Alas, a large part of them were persuaded by Li Heng to leave the city together.
, It’s a pity that Li Heng is not here at this time, otherwise it might be easier to solve. Now... we will have the result later."
Chen Xingdu nodded, and then softly talked about the information brought back by the scouts: "Master Ning originally said that Fang La was going to take Jiaxing, but now it seems that he was actually taking Huzhou... In this way, we are on the road to death.
Not far ahead, I heard that Qingfeng Village and Xiaoluo Town have also been occupied by rebel bandits, but it is difficult for us to take the long way around..."
Qian Haiping thought for a while: "They robbed property so leisurely... No, if they really wanted to go to Huzhou, they must be led by General Fang La's army. How could they get loose one by one? They really want to take Jiaxing, this
Several teams must be going to harass Huzhou and prevent its rescue! Moreover, after the qualifications for plundering in Hangzhou city were divided, these people released, on the one hand, disturbed, and on the other hand, they also came to track us.
Now, where else can we go? They are taking Jiaxing and Huanzhou, so we have to go further northwest..."
"Where can I go to the northwest now? If I turn again, I'm afraid I will be surrounded by bandits rushing towards me..."
"We need to discuss this immediately."
At this time, there were naturally a large number of people who could serve as staff and make suggestions. As soon as Qian Haiping said this, he turned around to call these people. Chen Xing nodded: "Excuse me, Mr. Qian. By the way, what about Mr. Ning and his wife?"
"
"He was slightly injured after a battle with Shi Bao, Liu Dabiaozi and others in Taiping Lane. However, this morning the wound suppurated and foreign evil entered the body. Although the doctor diagnosed and treated him, he was left behind in the morning. Alas..."
Chen Xing was slightly stunned: "Actually, I didn't listen carefully to Mr. Qian's introduction earlier. The Nings are only in their early twenties. They are so young. Could it be that they really... competed head-on with Shi Bao and Liu Dabiaozi?"
Qian Haiping thought for a while: "I didn't believe it at first, but...if the outside of the city could have resisted for two more days, maybe these people would have been caught and killed. In fact, we thought that Fang Qifu was also in the city at that time.
The fight between Ning Liheng and Shi Bao and others is also true. Shi Bao almost died at his hands that day. As far as I know, a bandit leader named Gou Zheng was killed by him on the spot.
The rest is still uncertain...there was not much time at that time..."
"...Oh" Chen Xing thought for a while, and then nodded to express his understanding. Qian Haiping raised the reins and was about to move forward, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of the team. A galloping horse passed through the crowd.
, galloping towards the front, also saw a few people on the hillside. Along the way, Ning Yi and his wife saluted on horseback. Seeing Ning Yi coming back, Qian Haiping was quite happy, and Chen Xingdu also looked at him more seriously.
After seeing this couple, the situation in the past few days was chaotic. He always didn't pay much attention to these young people. Even if Ning Yi put forward any ideas and speculations, they could only be accepted after the discussion of others.
Of course, this was not the time to talk about honors or anything like that. Qian Haiping wanted to go over and call someone, and Chen Xingdu briefly talked about the situation at this time. In fact, walking from Hangzhou to Huzhou or to Jiaxing is a straight line.
It is only a distance of more than 150 miles, but the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed, and it is very easy to be blocked. Without boats, we can only cross the river by bridges at certain places. At this time, bandits are blocking the way in front, and Fang La is behind.
The army has followed up again. This team is not moving very fast, and the space for movement is actually getting smaller and smaller.
They did not expect Ning Yi to have the power to change this situation, but now they have paid great attention to it. Of course, they can tell him more clearly. Ning Yi frowned, and after a while, he cautiously asked Chen Xing.
The earth opened its mouth.
"I want... to ask General Chen to arrange for me some veterans or scouts who know the situation in Fang La's army. I would like to ask them some questions. In addition, I want a map of the nearby area and a few people who are really familiar with the surrounding terrain.
,Maybe……"
He paused slightly: "Maybe I can make the situation a little better..." He still had a fever at this time, and it was getting worse. His tone of voice was not high-pitched, just low and calm.
After saying these words, Chen Xing looked at him for a while and nodded.
Su Tan'er sat in front of Ning Yi, lowering her head and holding his injured arm. She was quiet and quiet, and the sunlight was a little dazzling...
I couldn’t update it yesterday, but I updated it to 6,000 today^_^
I recommended two books to friends, one is called "The Bloody Anti-Japanese War", the introduction: "Like other college students, the history department also faced various pressures from society, but fate brought him to the war-torn Anti-Japanese War era.
So... history that was originally useless can play a role in this era. Can he use the knowledge he has learned to show his talents in this era?
Everything is still unknown..."
The other book is "Happy Land" by a female channel. The author is called The Bondage of Wumingzhi. Oh, she is a friend, not a girlfriend. If you watch female channels, you might as well read it. ^_^
Speaking of which, I’m really not good enough. I couldn’t update even more when I doubled the time. However, I passed 6,000 chapters twice...I’m despising myself...ro
