Stunning weapon

Chapter 38 Pathfinding

There are many forests and dense grass on the mountain. It is no longer a problem to hide in such weather, but safety is more important.After thinking about it, Mo Xiaochuan felt that this would have no effect on the overall situation, but he didn't think that it was because of their diversion that the team in the camp lost their direction, and there were no traces to be found in the heavy rain.

The chasing team was searching around like headless chickens.

Mo Xiaochuan and the others who were marching ahead didn't know this, but after the diversion, the danger was much less, but the problems that followed also increased a lot.The road was difficult to walk in the heavy rain, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction in the forest. Even if they wanted to postpone the march, they had nowhere to camp, so they had to give up.

The only thing to do now seems to be to bite the bullet and walk, but Mo Xiaochuan knows that if he marches for a long time in this kind of weather, the soldiers' bodies will definitely be affected, and they are caught in a dilemma for a while, but they don't know what to do alright.

Mo Xiaochuan had a headache now, and Deng Chaoqun, who was in the camp in northern Xinjiang, had even more headaches.

The people sent out have sent back several times of news, but there is no result. Mo Xiaochuan and the others seem to have disappeared out of thin air. The three teams were sent out without even a trace.Faced with this situation, Deng Chaoqun made a lot of guesses, but the most important point was Mo Xiaochuan's safety.It's not easy for him to make a decision on such a big matter by himself. Chen Guangming naturally cannot discuss it. It's okay not to let him know.

After much deliberation, it seems that Han Cheng is the only one.

Deng Chaoqun sent someone to invite Han Cheng, and after explaining the situation, Han Cheng's face was serious, and he frowned and asked, "Why are you telling me now?"

"I just found out, and you also understand that the young commander and the others have already left for some time, and the people we sent out to catch up and report the news are already very fast." Deng Chaoqun said with a worried look on his face: "Based on the current situation, The young commander should have left elsewhere, and the people we sent out couldn't find him at all."

Han Cheng knew that he was a little too excited just now, so he gave Deng Chaoqun a slightly apologetic look, nodded, then turned his head to look at the sky outside through the tent door, and said, "They are doing the right thing. I was worried about the steps , that's the mistake."

"Now is not the time to take responsibility. The key is that we can't find the junior commander. Besides, we were only thinking about the authenticity of the letter before, but we ignored an important issue." Deng Chaoqun's face was extremely ugly.

"You mean, the purpose of the counterfeiters?" Han Cheng suddenly came to his senses, lowered his brows, took a deep breath after contemplating for a moment, and said, "If this secret letter is made by people from Xiliang, then we will be in danger." gone."

"That's right!" Deng Chaoqun took a deep breath and said, "But all we can do now is prepare the army and try our best to get the young commander back."

"I'll take people there myself." Han Cheng stood up and said.

"Nonsense, how can you leave." Deng Chaoqun shook his head loudly, and said: "Besides, what can you do if you go, you can't see how much better than the school lieutenants and general banners below in such matters as looking for people. "

Knowing that what he said was reasonable, Han Cheng nodded and said, "Okay. Let's wait for the news first."

While Han Cheng and the others were busy, more than a dozen fast horses separated, and the fastest one had already left the border of Yan State and headed straight for the Xiliang Army's barracks.

In the commanding tent of the Xiliang army, the famous Xiliang general Hua Qichong sat on a hardwood chair with his eyes closed, tapping his fingers on the tabletop of the gang, thinking about something.

Hua Qichong was over forty years old. Among the famous generals at that time, he only lost to Mei Shichang, and it was a small defeat.This person is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is a powerful figure in the Xiliang army. In fact, the emperor and Xiangguo agreed that this time is a good time to attack Yan, but he himself did not think so.In his opinion, although Mei Shichang is not in the northern border, the northern border is full of elite soldiers and strong generals. If he can't hold on, the hope of breaking through the northern camp is very slim.

Moreover, now no one knows what is going on with the barbarian country, and suddenly intervened in it, which made Citi Chong a little unprepared. The problem, because he was not sure, so he changed from an offensive state to a defensive state in the deep ditch and high base.

However, the armies of the three parties are already in a stalemate here, and the northern camp of the Yan Kingdom is stationed here, and they will definitely not retreat.Then the only ones who can retreat are the Xiliang Army and the Barbarian Army.

However, retreating troops is not as simple as retreating a few steps, especially in this stalemate state, early retreating troops is likely to attract the opponent to take advantage of the fire and chase after them. If there is only the Northern Xinjiang Camp of Yan Kingdom, it is okay to say, and now there is another one If the barbarian kingdom is attracted to pursue them together, the [-] troops of Xiliang will be here.

Hua Qichong never thought that his dispatch of troops this time would end up in such an embarrassing situation. The Xiliang army approaching the Yan army, not only did not cause them any danger, but it seemed to help them contain the barbarian army.The current situation gave Citi Chong a headache. After midnight, he didn't think of a coup to resolve the current embarrassing situation.

When Citi was contemplating, suddenly the messenger rushed to report and presented him with the manuscript.Hua Qichong picked it up and looked at it briefly, then chuckled lightly, and said: "Mei Shichang will use these insidious schemes and tricks, but I don't know that insidious schemes are not orthodox, and it will be useless if they are discovered. The use of troops is based on a sense of arrogance." No need to be nervous, if the news continues, the battalions will not be able to guard it strictly, and send a team of troops to stop it in front. When they see the people wearing our Xiliang Army uniforms, they will be this group, and they will kill them. When the time comes, the strategy It's self-defeating." After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

After meditating for a while, Hua Qi suddenly thought of something, stood up, walked back and forth for a while, frowning, and said loudly: "Send the order, get the army ready for war—"

Mo Xiaochuan in the dense forest didn't know, because of his own affairs, the entire Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang Army became tense.His surprise attack mission is naturally no secret to the Northern Xinjiang camp, but it has become a public matter for the Xiliang Army.Only they and the barbarian army remained in the dark.

Walking hard in the forest, they had already left the border of Yan Kingdom, and now they might encounter enemy troops at any time. The unknown terrain made them extremely careful.Lu Shang, who had previously patted his chest to ensure that he knew the way, was also a little uncertain at this time.

"Brother Lu, are you sure you are going this way?" Mo Xiaochuan carried a long sword on his back, and it was even more strenuous to walk on this muddy road. Every time he took a step, the soles of his feet would sink deeply into the mud. However, even so, he still refused Lu Shang's help and insisted on walking by himself.

Hearing Mo Xiaochuan's question, Lu Shang rubbed his forehead and said, "There should be nothing wrong with it. In the past, you could see a Guanding Mountain from this side, and you could go there. But now it's raining too much, and you can't see it." If you know the way, I'm not sure."

Mo Xiaochuan looked up at Qiu Hongye, and he also shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure.

Up to now, Mo Xiaochuan has no choice but to hate in his heart. When he first came to this world, why didn't he wear a compass on his body? It's a pity that hatred is useless at this time, and the road that should be taken is still to be taken.He raised his hand and pointed to the front, and said, "Brother Lu, you are not sure which direction to go, so can you confirm which direction you can't go?"

Lu Shang thought for a while, and said: "This way is definitely not allowed. If you walk from this side, there is a cliff ahead. Although it is a shortcut, the deep cliff is absolutely impossible to cross."

"Are you sure?" Mo Xiaochuan asked again.

"I..." Lu Shang hesitated, and said, "How about I ask an experienced sergeant."

"No!" Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "If we let them know that we are lost at this time, the morale of the army will be disturbed, and it will be difficult to control it if the morale is scattered."

Although Lu Shang didn't fully agree with Mo Xiaochuan's words, what he said was also reasonable. At this moment, the morale of the army should not be shaken. In the end, he closed his eyes and opened them again suddenly, saying: "I'm sure, this is a cliff and you can't walk on it." , Commander Ren of other places picks one."

"Okay!" Mo Xiaochuan said straight ahead, "Then we'll go over here."

The team of 500 people moved quickly towards the direction Mo Xiaochuan pointed. The muddy road had already made their clothes dirty, but no one complained.In fact, Mo Xiaochuan still underestimated them. The elite soldiers of the northern Xinjiang camp are by no means in vain. The people Han Cheng sent to him this time were selected from among them. The situation that Mo Xiaochuan was worried about would not happen.

The team moved forward, it rained heavily all night, and it continued to rain at noon the next day. Although the sky was bright, it was still difficult to distinguish the direction in the woods. The team was very tired after walking all day and night. Mo Xiaochuan ordered to go down , Cut down a forest, spread the ground with tree poles and branches, and camp on the spot to rest.

The soldiers followed orders and were busy.

Mo Xiaochuan looked up at the dark sky, and said to Lu Shang: "Are we really on the right track?"

"Should." Lu Shang was uncertain.

"What should it be?" Mo Xiaochuan frowned.

Lu Shang was a little embarrassed, and said: "Young Commander, don't make things difficult for me, old Lu."

Mo Xiaochuan sighed softly and fell silent.I felt a little regretful that I didn't bring the old Taoist priest with me when I came. If he was there, finding the way would definitely not be a big problem.It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and regret is useless. He looked at Lu Shang and said, "Let's go, let the soldiers get busy first, you and I will explore the way."

Lu Shan agreed.

After Mo Xiaochuan handed over the camping to Qiu Hongye, he and Lu Shang strode forward.

The two walked one after the other, and after traveling for more than two miles, they finally walked out of the woods.However, the joy that should have come did not appear on their faces, because what lay before them was a wide cliff.

Mo Xiaochuan murmured: "Didn't you say the cliff is over there?"

"I, I think, I made a mistake..." Lu Shang said with a sad face.
