But at this moment, before he had finished speaking, the sound of arrows flying through the air suddenly came from the woods!
"Get down!" Immediately after hearing the sound of breaking the air, Salha got down at a very fast speed and shouted loudly. Hearing his shout, the generals who were slower to react also got down one after another.
On the ground.
Salha's guards ran in the direction where the arrows flew to catch the attacker hiding in the woods. They also picked up their bows and shot a few arrows into the woods. Several muffled groans were heard in the woods.
, but there was no other sound, only a few shadowy figures moved, as if they were trying to escape. How could the guards allow the attacker to escape? More than a dozen people chased into the woods, and the rest rushed back to protect Salha.
After a while, there was no more attack. Salha stood up from the ground, shook the dust from the cake and ate it in two or two bites. Then he hurriedly ordered a guard: "Emani, hurry up and catch up with Fa Li."
Virtue, tell him not to chase too far, even if he fails to capture these Ming soldiers."
"Farid has been following you for many years and knows your habit of leading troops in war." The guard known as Emene said with a smile, but he also listened to Salha's words, put on his helmet and hurriedly approached Farid.
The German and other guards ran in the direction of pursuit.
"General Salha, did you order the soldiers to set off for Babna City in advance?" A general walked up to Salha and said to him.
"No need." Salha took out another piece of bread and tore it into half, put the other half into the oil paper bag and put it in his pocket, and said to the general: "Gayasi, where is your bread? Have you finished eating it?
Don’t you want to eat half a slice again?”
"I'm not hungry. And General Salha, it doesn't matter whether I eat the cake or not. I think we should order the soldiers to set off for Pabna City in advance." The general known as Gayasi and wearing exquisite armor added.
: "The scouts sent by the Ming Army are actually here now. It can be seen that the Ming Army will arrive faster than expected. So I think it is necessary to order the soldiers to set off early and speed up. As for the possible presence of the soldiers
I think after witnessing the sneak attack by Ming soldiers, their unwillingness will be dispelled, so don’t worry.”
"I miscalculated the probability that the Ming army scouts would find me. This was my mistake, but the soldiers must get enough rest before they can continue to move forward. It is not that they will be able to reach Babna City tomorrow night, but at least three days
We can only arrive later. If the soldiers don't get enough rest, even if they manage to walk a few more steps today, they will slow down tomorrow." Salha said.
"But didn't you just tell the soldiers to move faster in the afternoon?" Garcia asked.
"I did give the order just now, but I will also give them sufficient rest time at noon and night." Salha continued to explain.
"Even so," Gayasi was about to say something else, when Salha said again: "Gayasi, I know you are worried about being caught up by the Ming army, but the Ming army will not fly from the sky, so it can only
Walking from the land, as long as you can march according to my regulations, you will not be overtaken by the Ming army. As for your worry about being attacked by a few Ming army scouts, even if you speed up your march, you cannot get rid of them all, so you can only strengthen your defenses.
"
After hearing these words, Gayasi said nothing more and sat back to his original place. Salha breathed out, ate half of the cake in his hand, rested for a while, and ordered the whole army to set off for Babna.
city.
As usual, Salha led the guards on both sides of the army to check whether any soldiers were left behind. After driving for a while, he executed a soldier who tried to escape on the spot by the road. He glanced at the woods next to him and murmured in a low voice:
"How come it's been so long and Farid and Emmeni haven't come back yet? Could it be that they were killed by Ming Dynasty scouts?"
…
…
"Farid, since we have captured a prisoner, stop chasing him and go back now." Emmani persuaded Farid.
"We will catch up with them soon, keep chasing them for a while!" Farid said as he continued to chase them forward.
"But General Salha's order is that you should not pursue him too far."
"We haven't chased very far yet, and if we chase for a while, we can catch up, and there won't be much further to go."
"Ten minutes ago, you said that if you chase for a while, you can catch up, but you have been chasing for such a long time and still haven't caught up. You won't be able to catch up if you chase for ten minutes. They look a bit dark, maybe
The Southeast Asian indigenous people recruited by the Ming Dynasty. You also know that the Southeast Asian indigenous people live in an environment similar to that of the Indian indigenous people. They shuttle in the woods all year round and are good at walking in the woods. We can capture one person alive. It is not easy to kill three people. The remaining
There is no way anyone can catch up." Emine persuaded her again.
But Farid didn't listen to him and continued to pursue him. Emani could only glance sideways at the other guards, smiled helplessly, and followed Farid.
"Shoot an arrow!" At this time, they chased to a place with sparse trees, Salha ordered. Half of them had bows in their hands, and when they heard this, they immediately opened their bows and nocked arrows.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were escaping in front heard the sound coming from behind and wanted to dodge, but the trees here were sparse and they could not slow down. They could only watch the arrows flying over and the two of them were hit in the vital parts by the arrows.
He fell to the ground, and two others were shot in the arms and shoulders. They staggered forward, but still managed to steady themselves and continue running away.
"Why are these Indian soldiers still chasing after them! They are sick!" A Ming army scout cursed, glanced sideways at his companion with an injured arm, and said: "Yan Guang and Yan Wen can't stop bleeding while running like this.
If I run for a while longer, I won’t be able to hold on because I’m bleeding too much!”
"Just fight with the Indians!" another person said.
"No one can stop!" a middle-aged man in the lead said loudly.
"Si'an, don't you care about the lives of Yan Guang and Yan Wen?" the man who just started speaking said again.
"Are we going to throw everyone's lives here for the lives of Yan Guang and Yan Wen?" Si'an asked rhetorically.
"But we can't let them run to death! It's better to fight to death with the enemy!"
"Then let them stay and give us a break!" Si'an said again: "Sixing, it's not your first day in the war. Don't you understand this?"
"But this is India, not Mengyang where our ancestors have lived for generations! They died here, and their bodies cannot be taken back. Can their souls return to the embrace of their ancestors?" Sixing said.
"Ancestral spirits are everywhere. Even if their bodies cannot be taken back, their souls can return to the embrace of the ancestral spirits!" Si'an said firmly. He didn't know whether the souls of people who died in India could return to their ancestral spirits, but
At this time he could only say this.
Hearing that the soul could return to the ancestral spirit, the expression on Sixing's face softened significantly, as did the injured Yan Guang and Yan Wen. But Sixing thought of something again and said: "We Meng Yang's people were sent out as
There are too many scouts. Even if the Han people are not good at walking in the mountains and forests, there are so many tribes, why only we Mengyang people are chosen as scouts?"
"Because we, Meng Yang, are the most loyal to His Highness, and His Highness also trusts us and is not trustworthy of other tribes, so we Meng Yang people are often asked to serve as scouts," Si'an said.
"It's better to be disloyal."
"What are you talking about? You have seen how many things His Highness has given to the tribe in recent years. It is far from what other tribes can compare with. The lives of the tribesmen are much better than in the past. This is loyalty to His Highness.
The benefits! How can it be worse than being unfaithful?"
"But we lost more people in the battle."
"Even if more people died in the war, because life is better, those who did not die in the war will live longer."
Si'an and Sixing argued fiercely for a few words. Sixing couldn't argue but stopped talking, but it was obvious that he was not convinced. Si'an took a few breaths, used the geographical location to block Yinlu who was chasing behind him, and then pulled away.
After walking some distance, he said to Sixing: "Today or tomorrow, Bai Feng will arrive with the people of our tribe. Then you can ask the tribe whether they like the life now or the life in the past."
"Baifeng's people, huh! She married Zhu and gave birth to a child. Of course, the people she led were all the same towards him." Sixing said.
Si'an was about to say something else when he heard the words, but he suddenly closed his mouth, swallowed back the words he was about to say, looked around warily, and couldn't help but slow down, even though Yinlu was still chasing after him. Not only
He, Sixing and others unconsciously slowed down.
Seeing this situation, Farid shouted happily and was about to catch up. Compared with the time when Emani persuaded him, he had been chasing for another twelve minutes, but there was still no sign of catching up.
He had no idea of stopping the pursuit, but he couldn't save face; at this moment, he suddenly saw the Ming army soldiers slowing down, and they were about to catch up. How could he not be happy? Seeing this, Emene was a little confused as to why the Ming army soldiers slowed down.
It was strange, but he also drew his sword and wanted to capture them with the others.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the woods on both sides. Emine thought it was a tiger or python and other animals walking through the forest, and said in her heart that no wonder the Ming soldiers were slow.
It seemed that he had been stopped by a ferocious beast, and he was preparing to fight the ferocious beast.
But to his great surprise, what came out of the woods were not beasts, but people. These people were covered in animal skins, had dark skin, and looked similar to the people of the Ming Dynasty. As they rushed out of the woods, they shouted loudly.
He started shouting in a language that no one could understand, and wanted to fight with Farid and others.
"There is an ambush by the Ming army! Farid, go quickly!" Aimani shouted and was about to escape. Farid also knew that he was ambushed by the Ming army and was about to escape. But how could these people who rushed out allow them to escape?
, quickly rushed up and fought with them, leaving them unable to escape! They could only fight hard.
