The fierce battle continues.
Zhao Lie and others had not rested for long before a landmine was stepped on.
This time Zhou Tie did not lead his men to continue retreating southward.
Instead, he ordered everyone to meet the enemy!
Field battles and night battles are Taoyuan County’s strengths!
The training and diet levels of ordinary soldiers are far inferior to those of our own people.
Our side not only has strong physical fitness, but also excellent night vision.
According to Zhou Tie's experience, ordinary soldiers have extremely poor vision at night, and many of them cannot see anything at all.
He didn't know the reason behind this, but it was the fact.
The night vision of Taoyuan people is often better than that of ordinary people.
The other side has many people and is scattered, their physical condition is not good, and their organizational ability at night is even worse.
We have a small number of people, strong night vision, and just replenished physical strength, so it is easy to organize.
Comparing the two, the best choice now is to take the initiative!
The forest was pitch black at night, with almost no light except the stars in the sky and the bonfire.
More than a hundred people carrying big swords were moving through the woods, in groups of ten, launching continuous sneak attacks and defeating each enemy unit!
The King of Wu's pursuers did not dare to gather together even at night, as it was not clear whether the other side had any weapons as powerful as the heavenly thunder.
After all, someone has stepped on a landmine and been blown away...no one dares to gather in a group and take this risk again.
The wailing sounds began to echo in the deep and quiet woods!
The one-sided slaughter began...
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky gradually brightened.
Zhou Tie leaned on his long sword, looked down at the enemy soldiers who were beginning to retreat, and wiped his sweat.
"Haha, that's enough! Let the brothers quickly retreat south and find a place to rest. The enemy may retreat directly or continue to pursue us, so don't let your guard down."
Zhao Lie responded and hurried to gather the scattered brothers.
........
On the coast.
The King of Wu did not sleep all night and did not get on the boat. He just sat on a rock on the shore in a daze.
My thoughts are surging like the tide.
The sun is rising behind me, and as it rises higher, the heat is spreading bit by bit.
The sea view was beautiful, but the King of Wu had no intention of appreciating it.
Looking at the woods not far away, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of it in a panic. The King of Wu stood up abruptly and looked over.
More and more soldiers emerged from the woods, but they all looked in extremely bad mental states.
The King of Wu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Soon the leading general came before the King of Wu, looking distraught.
He lowered his head and said dejectedly, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent... Let them run away."
The King of Wu pursed his lips twice and said in a trembling voice, "How many people are there on the other side... I see that less than half of them have returned."
"The enemy only has...more than a hundred people, but their thunder is so powerful that we can't get close to them... Twelve hundred people were responsible for pursuing them in the mountains... More than seven hundred people were killed, and the bodies of some people cannot be found." The leading general's throat tightened and his eyes were red.
In desperation he told a lie.
Although explosive packs are powerful, there are not that many of them.
The main reason was that the opponent's ruthlessness was too intimidating... That night, the opponent appeared and disappeared like a ghost, reaping lives everywhere, and disappeared into the darkness after he succeeded. They did not dare to gather together to pursue him, so there was nothing they could do to defend against him and no way to avoid him!
The morale of our side has been hit to the lowest point. Everyone is frightened and has no strength to fight anymore.
Moreover, we have no food. If we delay for another day, more than a thousand people will be wiped out by more than a hundred people!
The King of Wu shook all over, and instantly seemed to have aged ten years!
He murmured, "Ten times the number of troops, defeating the majority with fewer troops... God's will... Could this be God's will..."
Chen Jian quickly supported him and pleaded, "Your Majesty, let's retreat quickly!"
"Retreat...call back the people who are blocking the official road, we will set out to sea immediately!"
........
Four days later.
A ragged beggar appeared on the official road.
The clothes on his body had been torn into strips and were covered in dirt, as if he was covered in seaweed.
He was limping along the road, leaning on a broken stick, with disheveled hair and lifeless eyes.
Occasionally, someone would walk past him and he would quickly dodge.
The person who came was Fang Zhengyi!
Five days! Five whole days! I survived with only a little dry food, some bugs, and the water in the woods!
We encountered a wild boar on the first day!
Fang Zheng ran around in the woods in a panic.
Fortunately, there is still a gun!
The bullet hit the wild boar steadily.
The wild boar was successfully enraged...
Fortunately, the second shot scared it away.
At that time, Fang Zhengyi didn't dare to run around anymore and stayed on the tree for a whole day.
I finally made it to the next night, shivering from the cold. Fortunately, the guards were wearing thick enough clothes.
I took out the fireworks to send the message...but found that there was no fire, so I had to find a way to turn back and look for someone.
Making fire by rubbing two sticks together? Try it every day.
Now Fang Zhengyi's hands are covered with blisters, and he has not succeeded once...
As for the direction, he had long lost track and could only run around like a headless fly. After wandering around for a long time, he realized that this was not a solution. In the end, he had no choice but to choose a path and walk on it without looking back.
In order to help Zhou Tie and the others find him, he tore his clothes and left marks along the way.
However, the fabric of the clothes seemed not enough. He was afraid of freezing to death, so he didn't dare to continue tearing it.
Fortunately... I finally got out of the mountains!
Walking on the official road, Fang Zhengyi was now relying on the strength of his breath to support himself.
