If the city gate was really blown open, there would probably not be many people in Huicheng who would survive. Instead of relying on others, it would be better to fight to the death.
Feng Lan's eyeballs, apart from serving as eyes, were not powerful magic weapons in themselves and were quickly destroyed by artillery fire and ammunition.
She only heard the sound of Huicheng from afar, which lasted for seven days and seven nights.
Finally, on the eighth day, the dead silence came to an end.
"Master Hong! This way!"
A group of people on horseback were running through the mountains and forests. Deng Rencheng's face was as pale as gold paper, and his right hand was roughly wrapped with a piece of gauze. Because of riding a horse, his arm was pulled, and the gauze was already blood red.
"There are only small paths here that people have walked on for cutting wood and gathering herbs. Master Hong, please hold on a little longer and go deep into the mountains. Those people are not familiar with the terrain, and there are wolves, tigers and leopards. They dare not pursue us too deeply."
The man called Master Hong by Deng Rencheng was walking in the middle, with Deng Rencheng leading the way in front and others following behind. There were urgent gunshots from time to time, but because of the complex terrain and numerous trees in the mountains, no one was hit.
But soon, the complex terrain also tripped them up.
"Dismount and walk." Master Hong made a prompt decision, whipping the horse with his whip to urge it on. He looked at Deng Rencheng and said, "You are familiar with the terrain, so continue to lead the way."
The horse without anyone on board could not delay for long. It stopped and started frequently, and several small-scale gunfights occurred when the distance between the two sides shortened. In the end, when they shook off the pursuing enemy and walked to rest under the banyan tree, only twenty-one people were left.
Feng Lan stopped the animals that stood up, and the large animals hid. Only some small animals that lived near Feng Lan were left. When they saw this group of bloody people, they became agitated for a while, then retracted their gaze and hid in their nests.
Mr. Hong glanced at the animals, which were all foxes, moles and the like. Although he was surprised, he didn't take it to heart.
He glanced at the scattered brothers following behind him and gave a wry smile, "This time, we're the only ones left. Back then, when we left Pingliang, we fought the Japs. Now, in Huicheng, these idiots have forced us into a desperate situation. This revenge must be avenged!"
Hong Dai stood up indignantly. He knew he couldn't let morale continue to decline. "Damn it! I've come this far and have seen clearly that there is no such thing as a completely safe place in this world! As long as these damned little devils aren't eliminated, we'll suffer wherever we go. Instead of hiding and becoming a waste, I, Hong Dai, will fight these beasts from now on! To avenge my fallen brothers!"
Hong Dai's bloodshot eyes swept over the remaining brothers. "Of course, I, Hong Dai, won't force you. I know you're all tired and scared. Those of you who have wives and children at home can leave with the main group later. I won't blame you. If you're willing to stay and follow me, then let's go!"
"Master Hong! What are you talking about? If I, Deng Rencheng, hadn't had your support, I don't know what kind of life I would have lived. Boy, as long as I'm alive and breathing, I will always follow you!" Deng Rencheng had lost his sunglasses long ago, and with the gauze on his hands, he ran all the way, and he looked so embarrassed. However, Hong Dai now felt that this kid was not a bad guy, but a man of courage!
Hong Dai patted Deng Rencheng on the shoulder. What he said just now was not entirely false. If Hong Dai used to think that Deng Rencheng was a clever clown who was trying to curry favor with him, then now, Deng Rencheng could be regarded as his confidant.
Feng Lan looked at the group of people quietly. Finally, three people stood up and said that they were reluctant to leave their families and wives, but were willing to escort Hong Dai for a while. The remaining dozen people were homeless and had no ties to their families or their country, so they were willing to follow Hong Dai.
Twenty-one people rested under the banyan tree for one night. Feng Lan still absorbed the moonlight tonight, but used his mental power to confuse these people so that they did not notice anything unusual.
However, the silent moonlight and abundant spiritual energy helped them regain their spirits the next day. After their wounds healed, Hong Dai took the rest and chose a direction, which was the exit of the secret passage originally planned by Huicheng.
However, in order to lure away the Japanese and avoid arousing their suspicion, Hong Dai, Mr. Liu, and Marshal Ge each chose a direction to break through and did not choose to leave through the secret passage.
