"They suddenly emerged from the bushes, which startled me."
"I heard before I came that the raiders were very barbaric, but the last time I met those refugees, they all looked like they were fleeing a famine."
"Hehehe, they're so badly beaten by Lord Qin and Minister Li they can't even catch their breath. What's the use of being barbaric?"
The troops went up the mountain.
The soldiers below began to whisper among themselves.
According to the rules, they had to travel in silence.
This road is just really boring.
With two days of continuous rain, the entire mountain area was wet and muddy, making it easy to slip.
Yesterday, one of my brothers slipped and fell, injured his knee by hitting a rock, causing a fracture. He's still lying in the military area.
The officer in charge of the troops came from the military headquarters and was trained by Li Zhanhuo.
He also served as an instructor and sergeant major at the military academy in Wall 1.
But in reality, 70% of those selected to help supply Tiger Leopard Peak were veterans.
Veterans don't speak.
Carrying their bags and pulling their carts, they moved forward headfirst, like oxen tilling the fields.
These rambling people are obviously new recruits.
The officer's name was Wang Bo.
He was highly respected in the transport unit.
When the military issued the order, he was the one who asked Li Zhanhuo for the authority, saying that supply and transportation were of utmost importance and that he should be given the elite of the elite.
Li Zhanhuo was also persuaded, and the military allocated some elderly people to him.
But the condition is that Wang Bo has to help train some new recruits.
Some were graduates of military academies, while others were newly recruited and sent to the battlefield.
The ingredients are not complicated.
Most of the new recruits had never seen blood.
Generally speaking, they don't speak.
Because the veterans marching alongside them had a lot of spirit, and that spirit would inspire the whole team.
But things are different recently.
It's raining.
Everyone was in a bad mood.
Wang Bo sighed, turned his head to look behind him, and took a break himself.
From the very front to the very back, the troops marched in formation without disorder, indicating that their training at the military academy was quite good. With the guidance of veteran soldiers, these new recruits were not much different, except for being a bit noisy.
He just can't stand listening to these humans nagging.
"Speak again and you will be court-martialed!"
With a shout from Wang Bo.
The new recruits said no more and hurried on their way with their heads down.
Wang Bo fanned himself to wipe away the sweat.
Indeed, it had just rained, and the weather had warmed up. The forest was full of hot steam, humid and hot, which was very annoying.
But there's nothing we can do.
The fighting is still going on at the front.
No one said anything.
Wang Bo's mission was to successfully deliver supplies to the fortress on Tiger Leopard Peak time and time again.
He was even fortunate enough to be praised by Minister Qin and Minister Li when given the opportunity.
Suddenly, a mountain breeze blew by.
Wang Bo frowned. His intuition told him that something was wrong. He raised his hand and ordered, "Halt the march!"
Tap tap!
The army halted in perfect unison.
"At ease!"
Wang Bo ran to the front, looking at the mountain road ahead. The trees on both sides swayed in the wind, making a pleasant rustling sound.
But there was always a hint of danger in the air.
Wang Bo himself is a veteran.
He was only promoted to a higher position after the military academy was established.
However, he came from the Tenth Wall Party and was not a high-ranking officer like the Armored Guard even in the Glory Court.
They were just ordinary guards.
But this did not affect Wang Bo's keen intuition.
"Something's not right. Something's really wrong here."
Wang Bo frowned and called two veterans from behind him, whispering, "The wind ahead is a bit strange. Go up and scout it out. If you hear any movement, shoot immediately without hesitation."
"yes."
The two veterans exchanged a glance, then hunched over and ran forward, disappearing into the bushes in no time.
rustling...
The wind kept blowing.
The bushes were swaying gently.
Some sounds were being drowned out.
A dagger emerged from the bushes and slit the throats of the two veterans. They couldn't even utter a sound, and before they could fire a single shot, they were taken away from the bushes.
Wang Bo's expression grew increasingly solemn.
He couldn't hear the sounds coming from the bushes.
But the two veterans seemed to vanish as soon as they went inside.
The sinister smell in the air grew stronger.
Wang Bo raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Everyone squatted down with their packs on their backs. The logistics soldiers carried oversized bags and wheelbarrows for carrying starch, making it very inconvenient for them to move around.
But if needed.
They can pick up their guns and fight back immediately.
Wang Bo's gaze began to probe the bushes in front of him.
From left to right, and then from right to left.
Suddenly, a person rushed out of the bushes, wielding a dagger, and lunged at Wang Bo!
"Enemy attack! Fire!"
Wang Bo fell backward and kicked the attacker away.
Gunshots rang out repeatedly behind us!
Countless bullets streaked across the fire lines, passing right over Wang Bo's head!
The bushes were smashed to pieces, and bits of grass and wood flew everywhere with a series of thuds. It's unknown how many people died in the bushes.
However, the raiders will not easily cease their attacks.
The next moment, a line of fire shot out from the bushes!
The bullets and the extremely fast arrows struck the soldiers present with precision.
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Damn it, shoot them! What are you dawdling for!"
"My leg! My leg is injured, ahhhhh..."
All sorts of screams and shouts rang out.
Someone was injured and fell to the ground, but was dragged away by his comrades behind him.
