He calmed down his mood, then looked at the time and stood up.
He shouted loudly to the surrounding sergeants:
"The time is up! Let's set off! There can be no stops along the way! We must return to the logistics company as soon as possible!"
Qin Yuan ordered loudly.
"yes!"
The soldiers below responded in unison.
Although there were not many people, only about thirty people, they were exceptionally loud.
They have all had a good rest, their bodies are full of energy, and their voices are louder.
Afterwards, the entire army officially marched in the direction given by He Chenguang.
Under Qin Yuan's command, the speed was very fast, and he walked more than a kilometer in a short time.
It was already noon, the sun was blazing, the atmosphere was hot, and the surrounding environment was unbearably hot.
"Damn it! It's so hard for us in such a hot temperature!"
"There's still a long way to go back, so this won't be easy!"
"I don't know if our water source is enough! We need to drink more sparingly!"
The soldiers all looked sad.
Qin Yuan on the side also saw all this.
He did not take this factor into consideration. At noon, the hot weather would also have a considerable impact on the actions of the entire army.
It may even directly affect their progress.
But there is no good way. Their water source is very precious and limited. In this case, they can only save resources and distribute them on the road.
Because there are mountains, rivers, and rocky walls nearby, and there are few river water sources, there is nothing we can do about it.
Fortunately, the journey is not too far, about three kilometers, and even if they are not in the best condition, it only takes more than ten minutes to get there.
And this is indeed the case. They did not encounter any enemies along the way, and all the obstacles they encountered came from natural external factors.
The hot weather and scarce water resources made it take them about twice as long as before.
When we arrived at the logistics company's new camp, it was almost twenty minutes later.
He Chenguang saw Qin Yuan and Qing She and their group in the distance, and shouted happily:
"Qin Yuan! Green Snake!"
Qin Yuan and Qing Snake saw it and responded with a smile and waved their hands.
"Well we are back."
Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"We are in no hurry!"
Weiwei also rushed out after hearing the news.
"I almost thought I would never see you again!"
She said with excitement.
Then, the old man also walked out.
"You really didn't let us bother."
The old man said calmly.
"Trouble?"
Qin Yuan was a little confused.
"Didn't we make an appointment to ask you to wait for us when we come back?"
"what happened?"
Qin Yuan began to realize that something had happened.
"Xiao Yan attacked us again when you were going out."
He Chenguang took the words and said.
Qin Yuan frowned.
"What? What's going on? Haven't we already beaten them away?"
Green Snake said in surprise.
"I don't know the details, but their attack this time was not that fierce, just some tentative attacks."
He Chenguang said with some doubts.
"This is strange. We have obviously repelled them, why are there still remnants?"
"Not to mention that their camp is far away from us, and the most incredible thing is that they actually know our location!"
Having said this, He Chenguang's face immediately showed a look of surprise.
"The other party must have a reason. They can't do such a thing for no reason."
Qin Yuan lowered his head and thought deeply.
"However, we have no way to discuss it here now."
"Let's go back and reorganize the troops first and discuss the next move."
"Um."
Afterwards, several people returned to the camp.
"How about, how do we decide the next action this time."
Back in the camp, He Chenguang couldn't wait to tell Qin Yuan about this matter.
"Do you think they have targeted us now?"
Qin Yuan asked.
"That's for sure. No matter where we escape, we can't escape, I think."
He Chenguang said frankly.
"There is no way around it. We can't escape their pursuit now."
Qin Yuan lowered his head and said calmly.
"Because we have a lot of wounded soldiers now, and the weather is hot now, which is very unfavorable for long-distance travel."
Qin Yuan told the truth.
"In my opinion, now we can only confront each other head-on. Both sides are at the end of their rope. It just depends on whose knife is sharper."
He Chenguang also lowered his head and thought hard.
"You are right, we have no way out now."
"But I'm not ready yet for how to tell them this."
Qin Yuan said calmly.
"After all, the old man is old, and Weiwei is young and inexperienced. There is no problem with the soldiers of the logistics company. They will burst out with their final strength in the face of danger."
"Then just say it."
He Chenguang answered directly.
"They will stand on your side no matter what, and we will definitely support you."
"I know."
Qin Yuan said helplessly.
"I know what you are thinking."
"But support is support, but I promised them that their safety must be protected."
"I don't want to involve them in this fight."
Qin Yuan expressed his worries.
"Since they have been caught in the center of this storm, how can they possibly survive?"
He Chenguang said in a deep voice.
"If you still think like this now, you are treating them as outsiders. I don't think they will be happy for you to treat them like this."
When Qin Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and began to think deeply.
What He Chenguang said is not unreasonable.
I always feel that I need one person to be able to withstand everything, but as everyone knows, protecting the other person too well is also a disguised form of disrespect for others.
Then he smiled.
"You're right. I shouldn't make the decision for them. It should be up to them to decide whether they want to fight alongside me."
"I shouldn't decide their life and destiny."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Chenguang also laughed.
"clever."
"Now we are all in the same boat. There is no need to distinguish who protects whom. We are teammates on the same front."
He Chenguang said solemnly.
"Um!"
Qin Yuan and him hugged each other, then turned and returned to the camp.
Came to the old man and Weiwei's tent.
"Old sir, how have you been doing these past two days? The weather is hot, so be careful to prevent heatstroke."
Qin Yuan said as he walked over and sat down.
"Oh, you're back. It's so fast."
The old man smiled.
"Well, if we work with your apprentice, we will definitely be very efficient."
Qin Yuan smiled.
"We were attacked by them just now, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Captain Chenguang is here, and I heard they are just some remnants."
"No, I suspect this was a premeditated action."
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Really? Sure enough, you think so too."
Weiwei on the side said.
"Obviously, our movements have been grasped by them."
He Chenguang said.
"Probably."
The old man said in a deep voice.
"We have no room to retreat."
Qin Yuan expressed his thoughts.
He knows that now is the stage where all the people are in the army, and it is unrealistic to rely on oneself.
Unexpectedly, the old man's expression was also very calm, even with some relief.
"Have you been mentally prepared for a long time?"
Qin Yuan didn't expect this, and even Weiwei on the side didn't look surprised at all.
"We know that this day will come."
"It is no longer possible for both of us to have any room for maneuver. The current situation can only be a dead end."
The old man understands things better than he thought.
"Since you are so transparent, I have nothing to say."
Qin Yuan smiled.
"After all, we all came here together. Since I can stand here, I must have unconditional trust in you."
The old man said.
"Then now we are close comrades-in-arms."
"only..."
Before Qin Yuan could finish speaking, the old man raised his hand and interrupted.
"You don't need to worry about my health. Although I am old, I won't be able to hold you back. As he said that, the old man shook the pistol in his hand."
"It's just that I asked you to take good care of Weiwei before, and I hope you will do what you say."
The old man said seriously.
Qin Yuan could see a hint of determination and killing intent from his heart in his eyes.
This made him feel trembling in his heart.
The old man must have been a strong general when he was young!
Qin Yuan looked at Weiwei beside him. She also had a confident expression on her face and had no intention of allowing him to refuse.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"I really admire you two, father and daughter. Just your temperament is beyond the comparison of ordinary people!"
He Chenguang on the side also laughed softly.
"By the way, where's the green snake?"
The old man seemed to have remembered something and asked suddenly.
"He's outside, playing with his big white wolf."
Qin Yuan said.
The reason why Qin Yuan did not plan to let Qing She come in together was because he was afraid that his too impulsive character would have a negative impact on the overall situation at such a critical moment.
But now that the old man has reached an agreement with himself, there is nothing to be taboo about.
"Should I call him in?"
"Um."
Qin Yuan winked at He Chenguang and asked him to call Green Snake in.
He Chenguang understood, stood up and walked out. More than ten seconds later, he walked in with the green snake.
"Oh! Teacher! Long time no see!"
Green Snake greeted the old man as soon as he came in.
"Well, you still look like that, full of energy."
The old man smiled.
"Hey, otherwise how could I be your apprentice?"
"I also protected Weiwei well before, and I didn't let you down!"
Green Snake looked like he was asking for credit.
"She hurt her foot, what are you talking about to me?"
The old man joked with great interest.
Upon hearing this, Green Snake immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Hehe, you are right! But I tried my best! I was also seriously injured!"
Green Snake looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
"Okay, the old gentleman is joking with you. He is very satisfied with your behavior."
Qin Yuan on the side helped.
"Hey, I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't have looked so relaxed when you came to me just now."
Green Snake smiled.
"Changing the topic, let's discuss how to allocate team members now."
Qin Yuan said.
"How much available combat power do we have now?"
Qin Yuan asked He Chenguang.
"About two hundred people."
He Chenguang replied.
Qin Yuan nodded slightly.
"This time, we act together and cannot be separated."
"I agree. Our combat effectiveness is not strong to begin with. If we don't concentrate anymore, it will be too easy for the opponent to defeat us one by one."
Green Snake echoed.
"Well, I agree. We also tried to take over-the-top actions before, but the results were not obvious. After all, there are too many people on the other side, and we were unable to achieve the goal of hitting the target."
"Now our combat effectiveness has been reduced to less than half of what it was before, and we can no longer spread our combat effectiveness."
"Moreover, the other party has also lost its food support and is just a paper tiger."
He Chenguang said confidently.
"That's right! Their army is so huge! Now that they've run out of food, I'm afraid they can't even guarantee basic food!"
"I guess we don't need to take action! They are going to starve to death!"
Weiwei also agreed.
"Don't be so anxious yet, we still have some ways to implement it."
On the side, the old man said in a deep voice.
Several people's eyes suddenly circled around him.
The old man spoke slowly:
"First of all, according to the tactics of attrition, although we have some advantages, this is after all a way to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage ourselves by eight hundred. We ourselves are also hungry and deprived of meals. This is not an effective way to deal with them."
"Then what do you have to do?"
Green Snake asked hurriedly.
The old man smiled slightly.
"There is a saying: Use softness to overcome strength."
"I know that you are all eager to kill the enemy right now. You only want to resolve this battle as soon as possible and then go home and have a good rest."
"But have you ever thought that the other party thinks the same way, and the other party's mentality will definitely not be any better than ours."
"We just need to catch the other party's impatience and make them pay the price for their impulse."
"what do you mean?"
Qin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"If we pretend to be invincible, show our weakness to the enemy, and retreat to the rear, they will definitely try their best to catch up. At that time, it will be our final counterattack and victory."
The old man chuckled.
"Sure enough, ginger is still hotter than ever! You should be able to keep your composure!"
Green Snake said with great joy.
"As the saying goes, impulsiveness is the devil. Only by staying calm can we win the final victory!"
He Chenguang also agreed very much.
"Captain Qin Yuan, what do you think?"
He Chenguang looked like Qin Yuan on the side.
However, Qin Yuan's face did not look as happy as the others.
Rang Ran looked indifferent.
"I think this plan is indeed feasible, but it doesn't fit in with my style."
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, several people on the side opened their eyes wide and looked at Qin Yuan with an expression of disbelief.
What's wrong with this kid?!
The old man doesn’t even approve of such a perfect plan?!
