Coming out of the garrison camp of Woye Town, Wan Dugui's face became more sad, and Wan Quan asked: "General, the only ones who have food here are the Right Guards and the garrison of Woye Town, we can't borrow food and grass, what do we do now?" Is good?"

Wan Dugui gritted his teeth and ordered: "Now I just hope that Zhao Junsheng can bring the supply team back as soon as possible. Let's go, let's go back and gather the generals to discuss the matter, and mobilize the soldiers to dig wild vegetables in the wild. The only way we can think of now is to dig some wild vegetables to mix them with." During meals!"

"Yes, General!"

Hua Mulan rode her horse and ran all the way. The road had not thawed in the morning, and the horses did not dare to run too fast on the frozen road. When the temperature rose in the afternoon, the road thawed, and there was too much mud and slurry on the road, so the horses ran. She often slipped and couldn't get up to speed. If it wasn't for her superb riding skills, she would have fallen many times.

She changed horses and rode, and only ran for more than 60 miles in the afternoon. When she saw that she was almost reaching the river, she planned to stop by the river and feed some beans to the horses before crossing the bridge.

While running, the two war horses fell forward and down one after another, and Hua Mulan on the horses also fell down involuntarily.

Hua Mulan's face changed, and her body responded instinctively in a very short time. She stretched out her hand and pressed the horse's neck, and she flew away from the falling horse's back, doing a front flip in the air After the movement, he fell to the ground and rushed forward a few steps before dissolving the impact.

Hua Mulan looked back, and saw that there were two filaments less than a foot apart where the horse fell just now. The two horses were tripped by these two filaments, and the filaments were extremely tough, and the horses were running at high speed. Underneath, the horse's leg hit the top and was cut off neatly.

At this time, the two war horses whose hoofs had been cut off by the filaments were standing on the ground, neighing in pain.

"Hiss—" Hua Mulan's face became extremely serious when she saw this scene. No wonder the two groups of messengers sent before and after did not return. It turned out that they were intercepted halfway!

"Swish, swish..." A wave of arrows shot over without warning.

Hua Mulan instantly drew her sword and swung her airtightly. The arrows she shot were knocked away or blocked one by one, and soon a layer of arrows fell under her feet.

"Kill—" With a loud shout, seven or eight masked men rushed towards Hua Mulan from behind the thick trees in the nearby forest.

Chapter 149

There were a total of eight people in ambush, four on each side, and Hua Mulan was flanked by left and right.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Hua Mulan. It could be said that she was facing the enemy from both sides. She had no choice but to turn passive into the master, and immediately raised her sword and rushed towards the four masked men on the left.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand, Hua Mulan knew that this was a critical moment, and the other party must set up an ambush here to kill her, so she did not show mercy.

As soon as she made contact, Hua Mulan took the lead and killed one of them with a single blow. Seeing her fierceness, all the masked men formed formations to fight against her.

Hua Mulan was shocked when she saw that these masked men actually knew how to form an army. They were undoubtedly members of the army. The chill in her heart grew stronger, and her killing intent became even stronger. The vigorous and nimble hands kept moving to meet the needs, and soon rushed into the opponent's space to destroy the formation.

The masked men who had lost their battle were able to fight on their own. Hua Mulan raised her sword to brace the two scimitars that had been hacked away, and swung the sword horizontally, beheading three people in succession. On her face, she no longer cared about the smell of blood, and quickly dodged to avoid the scimitars from other masked men.

Turning around, Hua Mulan distanced herself from the masked men, raised her leg and kicked them out. A large puddle of mud on the ground flew towards the heads of the masked men. These people instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces, but were caught by Hua Mulan. Bullying forward, he swung his knife and beheaded three people one after another in one breath.

There was only the last masked man left. This man looked at Hua Mulan in horror, and kept backing away with the scimitar.

The masked man was terrified, and hurriedly raised his knife to block, but Hua Mulan slashed on the machete with great force, and the whole person was crushed to kneel on the ground and let out a miserable howl.

At this time, Hua Mulan's long sword slashed at the opponent's collarbone, and Hua Mulan raised her leg and kicked the opponent's chest.

Hua Mulan was panting violently with the sword in hand. She kept looking at the corpses on the ground, and then swept around the book forest on both sides, but she didn't find any horses for transportation.

Without horses, there would be no means of transportation, and this would be a big trouble!

She went to the unmelted snow in the woods and squatted down, took the white snow with her hands and rubbed it on her face to wash away the blood splashed on her face. Two human corpses and four horse corpses were attracted by the two meters away.

She took a closer look and found that the two corpses were the two messengers she sent to contact Zhao Junsheng. It turned out that they failed to report back to the camp in time because they had been killed here a long time ago.

There was no time to bury the corpses of these two subordinates, so Hua Mulan could only pick up some dead branches to cover the corpses and turned back to the side of the road.

Looking at the two horses lying on the ground with severed legs but still howling, Hua Mulan sighed. The two horses are no longer usable. In order to reduce their pain, Hua Mulan had to give them a happy ending. hit the road.

Inserting the bleeding long sword into the scabbard, Hua Mulan took off the woolen blanket tied to the horse's back and the mink cloak wrapped in cloth and carried it on her back. She needed a woolen blanket to keep out the cold at night, and the mink fur cloak The cloak was sewn by Zhao Junsheng himself and given to her. It is an extremely expensive cloak, and she is reluctant to throw it away.

She picked up her longbow and a pot of arrows, cut a branch with her sword to make a stick, and walked towards Shanwu County.

I don't know when, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky again.

Zhao Junsheng looked up at the snowflakes floating in the sky, and his mood began to become heavy again. The road itself was muddy, which seriously slowed down the marching speed of the convoy, and now it started snowing again. How could this be? good?

Seeing that it was already dusk, and they would soon camp for the night, the soldiers and strong men were exhausted, but the convoy had only traveled sixty miles that day, and it would take two days to reach Jinling smoothly. .

It was like a big stone was pressing on his heart, and Zhao Junsheng's complexion didn't get any better today.

Pei Jin came over and bowed his hands to Zhao Junsheng: "Captain, it's getting dark, if you don't set up camp in time, wait until after dark."

This is troublesome. You see, the soldiers and the strong men are too tired to walk, and it’s snowing again. If you don’t prepare well for the cold, all the brothers will freeze to death tonight! "

what to do?What should be done in order to transport grain and grass to Jinling camp in time?

At this time, a soldier not far away was aggrieved: "Damn, those bastards who stayed in the big camp are probably eating hot food and hot meals at this time, but we are here to suffer haha!"

Zhao Junsheng was not angry when he heard this, but his eyes lit up. He immediately ordered and shouted: "Order the camps to set up camp on the spot, and let the camp leaders assign people to pick up some branches nearby to make a fire for the cooks to cook! Guo Yi , go and call Gao Xiu!"

The luggage team stopped, and the soldiers started to work under the assignment of the battalion head officer.

Gao Xiu came over and cupped his fists and said, "Captain, are you looking for a subordinate?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Gao Xiu, I'm afraid we won't be able to rush back to the Jinling camp within the stipulated time. If there is no food and grass in the camp, I'm afraid something will happen. I have an extremely important task for you. You must Go all out!"

"Please command the captain!"

"It's like this. We still have some food in the warehouse of the heavy army camp. Although it's not much, it should be able to feed the soldiers of the township army for two meals. I want you to ride a fast horse overnight after dinner. Go back to the Jinling camp and report to General Wan about our situation here, and ask him to send someone to the supply barracks to get food for the soldiers to eat! And tell General Wan, please rest assured, I will lead the team back within two days Jinling Camp! It’s dark and the road is far away, so be careful on the road, come!”

A soldier came over with a cloth bag and presented it with both hands. Zhao Junsheng took the cloth bag and handed it to Gao Xiu: "It's cold at night, let's put on this cloak on the road!"

Gao Xiu took the cloth bag and opened a corner to have a look. Seeing a valuable cloak inside, he knew it must belong to Zhao Junsheng. Feeling moved, he folded the cloth bag and cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Subordinate I will live up to the captain's trust!"

After dinner, Gao Xiu was ready to go on the road. Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to lead two horses. He patted Gao Xiu on the shoulder: "Be careful!"

Gao Xiu clasped his fists, got on his horse, whipped the horse and galloped away.

At some point, Wan Yutong, who was disguised as a man, walked up to Zhao Junsheng, "It's so cold and freezing overnight that I sent someone back to report. Is the food shortage in Jinling serious?"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his face, which was stung by the cold wind, and said with a sigh of relief: "You may not have experienced the days of being cold and hungry. It's not a good feeling. People are iron, and food is steel. You are so hungry! The lack of food in the army is the most serious thing. If something goes wrong, there will be a mutiny. Before I led the team to leave, your grandfather said that the food and grass in the army were not enough for ten days, and today is the eighth day , if my guess is correct, the food and grass left in the camp can only be used for one day at most, but with today's marching speed, we still need two days to return to the Jinling camp!"

Wan Yutong didn't speak for a long time, she stretched out her hand to catch a falling snowflake, "If the heavy snow doesn't stop tonight, it may take us more than two days to reach Jinling!"

After being told by Wan Yutong, Zhao Junsheng felt even heavier.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound of horseshoes. After a while, he saw Gao Xiu walking quickly, "Gao Xiu, what are you doing?" Are you back?"

"Captain, who do you think is behind this subordinate?" Gao Xiu stepped aside after speaking.

A person appeared behind Gao Xiu. Zhao Junsheng saw it and said in surprise, "Mulan, why are you here? Old Lu, go get some hot water!"

Chapter 150

Firewood was lit in the camp, and the fire dispelled the darkness and cold air. Sitting by the fire, Hua Mulan was still rubbing her hands and stamping her feet, shivering from time to time. The color of wind and frost also gradually receded.

Zhao Junsheng picked up the copper pot that had just been boiled, poured a glass of water into a clay bowl and handed it to Hua Mulan: "Drink slowly! Dinner will be ready soon!"
