Chapter 938 - Bonds Everywhere

The dense jungle is particularly hideous in the cold winter, and the wind whistles by, bringing greater depression to those walking in the forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Pi Qing's accident, the ministries were more cautious, and nothing happened until they walked out of the forest. The Kulejka Heights, surrounded by jungle, has a narrow dirt path to the west that splits the jungle into north and south parts, but when winter comes, the path becomes faint under heavy snowfall. The Kulejka Plateau is dozens of miles in circumference, very different from the Taimel Plateau, where the terrain is high in the east and low in the west, and the mountains and rocks are numerous, so the only place that can be stationed is a place in the west, but fortunately, the Germans walked in a hurry, and the camp was not greatly damaged.

The handsome tent was quickly erected, the charcoal fire was raised, several people sat together, the faces of Gao Zhong and the others were obviously not very good-looking, although they crossed the jungle and did not suffer too much loss, but what happened along the way brought huge hidden dangers. Pi Qing's death has already spread throughout the army, and the news about the monster is very miraculous, and it has a great impact on morale. If you ignore this matter and continue to hurry, there will be no big problem in the future, but it is not a good thing for the soldiers to carry this burden on the road after all. As a veteran of the battlefield who has led the troops for many years, of course he understands the importance of morale, if the matter of Pi Qing is not solved, it will be like a latent plague that will always haunt the soldiers, and sooner or later it will be a disaster. Shi Wengong held an iron rod and carried the charcoal in the basin, looking a little worried, "Your Highness, do you think it could be someone left behind by the barbarians, deliberately pretending to be a god and scaring us?" ”

Gao Zhong also nodded, and continued, "Your Highness, although the matter is not big, the last general feels that it is necessary to figure out the matter, and now many soldiers have panicked, if they don't figure out this matter, the impact will become worse and worse." ”

Why doesn't Zhao Yougong want to figure it out? On the way here, I have been thinking about this matter, and I have also thought about whether it is a ghost caused by the Germans, but Zhao Yougong feels that this possibility is very small, if the Germans want to do it, it is to use the advantage of cavalry to carry out frontal blocking or side attacks, pretending to be ghosts, it can be said that it is meaningless. At this moment, I really feel that the expedition to the west is like learning from the west, I don't know what demons and monsters will be encountered along the way, even if many spies have been sent to search this place, but there is still a lack of enough understanding of Siberia. The basin between the Yenisei and the Ob River is a wild place, where even Slavs rarely set foot here, and the harsh climate, combined with the complex terrain, makes this land mysterious and terrifying. Judging from the situation in the Kurejka Heights, it is clear that although the Germans and Slavs occupied Kureika, they did not clear the surrounding area, and who knows who else is hiding in this place?

Maybe it's the local aborigines who did it, and there are many natives in this era who still live the days of Ru Mao drinking blood, and they have a very strong sense of territory. It would be nice if the Germanic captives could be caught, but unfortunately these Germanic cavalry fled south early, and there was no chance of fighting at all. When he was frowning, his eyes flickered, and he happened to see Yelena with her head down, muttering something. Yelena is a bold woman, it is rare to be so quiet, Zhao Yougong couldn't help but be stunned, reached out and nodded her shoulder, "Yelena, did you remember something?" Say whatever comes to mind, and it's okay to be wrong. ”

"Ha" Yelena raised her head, her big eyes were shining, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't seem to have much confidence, "I just heard from the old people of the tribe that a long time ago, there lived a tribe in the woods on the west side of the river, they were huge in size and infinite strength, and the tribes on the Taimer Plateau were plundered before. The elders of the tribe called this tribe the Black Water Division, and they were ferocious, not only bloodthirsty, but also ate cannibal flesh. But I've never seen this Blackwater Ministry, so I always thought it was just a legend, but now that I think about it, could it be true? ”

Cannibalism? Listening to Yelena's voice, coupled with the raging cold wind, the people in the handsome tent all felt a tingling scalp, Zhao Yougong also swallowed his saliva, is there really a cannibal in the world? "It doesn't matter who the other party is, in short, we won't have much of a problem if we are more careful, notify it, put two miles outside the sentry along the way, and the soldiers on patrol should cheer up."

Zhao Yougong had to be cautious, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter, tens of thousands of troops had just crossed the Yenisei River, and it would not be good if he was hit repeatedly. After a day's journey, everyone was very tired, and they rested early, Sanniang was wrapped in a thick quilt, and fell asleep, I don't know when, I woke up in a daze, but I saw Zhao Yougong looking at the roof with his eyes open, and he didn't fall asleep when he looked at him, "Official, are you still worried about Pi Qing?" ”

"Not exactly, I just can't figure out why the Germans would go south so decisively" changed his posture and focused his eyes on Sanniang's pretty face, "Crossing the Yenisei River all the way to Kureika, what is the situation on the way, think you have also seen it, this primeval jungle, traps can be arranged everywhere, and the advantages of the infantry formation and cavalry we rely on have little room to play here." If the Germans do not withdraw and find a way to delay us, it will cause us great trouble. Especially when it comes to grain and grass, Dolle can come up with the idea of a raid on Lake Baikal, will he not understand the importance of the grain route? We don't need too many people, just an elite army lurking in the jungle, constantly harassing our baggage soldiers and horses, it will be a disaster for us, and now that we are stationed in Kureika, it is better to say, in the future, to advance to the west, the battle line will be lengthened, and the dependence on baggage will be particularly important. ”

Hearing Zhao Yougong talk about it, Sanniang couldn't help frowning, although she was not as intensive in the art of war as Dongfang Jin and Xiao Zhiyun, but she had been in the army for many years and knew the importance of the grain road. At any time, as long as the battle line is extended, cutting off the grain road is a good way, and this method has been tried. In one day, Sanniang saw the vastness of the jungle in the west of the river, and the jungle in the west of Kuleyka is even wider than in the east. When you think about it, it's a little weird.

After a dozen hours of walking through the woods, the soldiers were exhausted, and when night came, except for the patrolmen, the rest fell asleep, and fell asleep deeply. The soldiers on patrol were not having a good time, the midnight highlands were very cold, their hair was frozen, and many soldiers could not adapt to the climate here and had developed frostbite. The mountains and forests are dense, blending with the night, and the birds and beasts are extinct at night in winter, and the forest is still the sound of the wind in addition to the wind. Cao Yan rode on a tree branch, with a bow and crossbow on his shoulder, a clairvoyant mirror pinned to his waist, the whole person was wrapped in a thick animal skin coat, only two eyes were exposed, and the sentry was really sinful, but fortunately, the head was flexible, originally two hours in turn, but now it has been changed to a shift in half an hour, if it is really in accordance with the original rules on duty and sentry, it is estimated that most of them will not wait for the shift change, and they will be frozen to death outside. A gust of cold wind pierced his neck, Cao Yan couldn't help but shiver, and the sleepiness that had just risen was swept away, which is the only benefit, this kind of bird place, you can't sleep if you want to. Sitting directly above him was fellow villager Zhou Xi, raised his head and looked, Zhou Xi was also a virtuous person, curled up, eager to turn himself into a turtle, "Da Xizi, how did you say Pi Qing died?" ”

"Who knows, General Tang is investigating this matter, let's leave it alone" Zhou Xi replied a little perfunctorily, he didn't want to say a word now, so as not to consume heat. The hot water brought with me ran out of temperature after a while, and now the water bags are frozen. Zhou Xi was a little skeptical that Lao Maozi was a little too anxious at this time, and he was really too offended.

The cold wind was blowing, the starry night was dark, and a team of more than a dozen people passed through the forest, all of them were dressed exactly the same, burly figures, like giants, their whole bodies were shrouded in darkness, they were like a group of ghosts in the forest. Wrapped in darkness and cautious in walking, perhaps by providence, the guard traps set up by the sentinels on the periphery were also useless due to the cold. A thin wire is connected to the treetop copper bell, and as long as the thin wire is pulled, the copper bell will shake violently. However, the sentinels ignored the unique climate here, and at night, the humidity was heavy, and the thin thread sucked in the water, and in the blink of an eye, it froze into a popsicle, and the popsicle broke directly when stepped on, but it would never pull the copper bell.

Click.... There was another soft sound, Zhou Xi's ears were relatively sharp, and when he heard the sound, he poked his head out and looked down, at this time Cao Yan also lit the rocket, pulled up the crossbow, and shot in the direction of the sound. The firelight illuminated a place, and under the yellow firelight, I saw a group of black devils, only two eyes exuded a trace of anger, Cao Yanga snorted, almost didn't fall from the tree, and his mouth was a little unfavorable, "Monster.... Kill the monster of the skin...."

Zhou Xi was also scared enough, but he was older, and shouted loudly, quickly release the arrow to remind the people in the camp. The black monsters on the opposite side also saw Zhou Xi and Cao Yan, they stretched out their arms and let out a weird whining sound, the two black monsters raised their right arms, Cao Yan was stabbed in the chest by a wooden gun before he could react, fell to the ground, fell from the tree, and was stabbed in the chest, and his life went seventy or eighty, Zhou Xi's fate was not much better, and he fell to death next to Cao Yan. Cao Yan's eyes were abrupt, a terrible scene happened in front of his eyes, those black monsters actually smashed open Zhou Xi's chest, and pulled Zhou Xi's internal organs out, followed by a squeaky sound, Cao Yan is too familiar with that kind of sound, every time he swallows food, he will also make this sound. They actually ate Zhou Xi, how Cao Yan wanted to escape, but he couldn't move, he saw a cyan axe smashed into his chest, and then he didn't know anything.

The arrows rang into the sky, and the nearby sentinels also fired arrows, and the alarm signal soon reached the big battalion, which was well-trained, and without waiting for the Mongolian servant army on the periphery to react, they had already lined up and ran towards the signal source. Shi Wengong has been sleeping in his clothes, as soon as he heard a sound, he immediately rushed out of the big tent, heard that he had encountered an enemy attack, and thought that it was the Germans who came to sneak attack, so his expression was solemn. Shi Wengong led people towards the place where the accident occurred, and soon saw a group of people gathered together, separating the crowd, and under the light of the fire, he saw Yelena squatting on the ground and constantly vomiting, and tears came out. Shi Wengong didn't know what was going on, but when he saw everyone's faces pale, he also chuckled in his heart.

Finally, I saw the two sentinels lying quietly on the ground, their chests torn open, and blood flowed all over the ground, but the inside of their chests was empty, and there were still half intestines on the ground, as if they had been bitten by something. Over the years, Shi Wengong has killed countless people, and Fang Tian has done a lot of things to draw halberds to take people's heads, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his stomach was still churning, and his throat was sour. The air was filled with a fishy and sour smell, and many people vomited.

What the fuck is going on? Shi Wengong is a fierce general on the battlefield, fighting on the battlefield, catching and killing, even in the face of thousands of troops, he will not frown, but the scene in front of him is simply beyond his understanding. Zhao Yougong Sanniang and others soon heard the news and rushed over, Yelena saw Sanniang, and quickly got up and hugged her and walked back, she had just suffered a seedling, but she couldn't let Sanniang suffer another loss. This scene is still not good. Zhao Yougong stood next to Shi Wengong, his brows furrowed tightly, he thought that the matter of Pi Qing was over, but he didn't expect something similar to happen so soon, looking at the pale faces of the soldiers around him, he knew how bad the impact of this incident was.

"Tang Miao, this matter is handed over to you, this king doesn't care what method you use, and no matter what the other party is, give you two days to find out this group of ghost things" Zhao Yougong was really angry, no wonder the Germans would evacuate Kuleika so decisively, it seems that there are many troubles in this jungle, if you don't solve these troubles, it is simply impossible to continue the westward expedition.

Tang Miao nodded, didn't wait for Zhao Yougong's orders, and didn't care how terrifying and disgusting the corpse was, and carefully examined the corpse. Looking at the wounds on the corpse, Tang Miao strengthened his judgment, the other party was not a monster, it was just a group of uncivilized barbarians, "Your Highness, your subordinates will give you a satisfactory answer within two days, but Your Highness will also transfer General Yang to your subordinates." ”

"Yes, you can call on the manpower, this king only needs the result" Zhao Yougong replied very simply, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the impact on morale will be too great.

finally returned to the handsome tent, only to see Zhao Yougong's face pale, a wave of nausea in his stomach, he couldn't hold back anymore, lying on the edge of the wooden basin and vomiting. Sanniang's expression was heavy, fortunately she didn't see that scene, if it wasn't for Yelena stopping her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be better. (To be continued.) )
