After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 94 Temporary Recruitment

  Before he finished speaking, his vision blurred, and the commander's spear was already on his neck.

  He was startled, and took two steps back, but the gun light soared, following him like a shadow.

  Actually, the tip of the gun was still three inches away from his throat, but the cold glow almost reached his skin. Forced by this majestic murderous aura, Mr. Sun felt that he could hardly catch his breath.

   "Say one more word, and I'll cut off your head and give it to Junjun Sun!"

  Sun Gongzi's face was ashen, and the rest of the words were held back in his stomach.

Even he was wilted, and of course the other servants and nurses of the Sun Mansion didn't dare to stop him, so the progress on the scene accelerated, and the two horses pulling the cart changed into three horses and five horses. Up the mud slope.

  As for the other boxes in the Sun Mansion, they were all pushed away by everyone, either dragged down the slope, or thrown into the water.

  The common people stole the property of the Sun House, and the commander saw it and didn't care at all.

  In the current crisis, catching thieves and maintaining stability are not important, but letting the team escape quickly is the key.

   When the road became clear and everyone cheered, he turned his horse's head and prepared to go to the rear.

   At this moment, commotion came from the rear of the team, and the civilians ran forward desperately while crying.

  The pursuers are coming.

  Everyone's face changed, and they rushed to climb up the slope.

   Several of them fell into the river without stepping firmly.

   Commander Xiao shouted loudly: "If you still have the strength to fight, pick up your weapon and follow us. After entering the customs, there will be a big reward!"

  He drank three times in a row, and the sound shook the whole field.

   Liu Sanjiu in the team couldn't help turning his head back, as if moved by emotion. But his wife immediately grabbed his arm and shouted: "Don't even think about it, you still have children!"

  When a man dies, how difficult will it be for orphans and widows in a foreign land?

  Thinking of this, Liu Sanjiu had no choice but to give up.

  He glanced back guiltily, picked up the child and ran forward.

  Among the fleeing crowd, more than a dozen men stopped gradually. Some people turned around immediately, some hesitated, but they still approached.

Commander Xiao pointed to the box that the Sun family had just opened and said, "You were temporarily conscripted into the army. If you come back alive today, you will be given more titles, more food, and more land! Now choose the weapon you have at hand, choose a horse! Those who can shoot arrows will go up the **** and up the tree. Prepare!"

  Everyone picked their weapons one after another.

   There are also thin and weak men here, but they know in their hearts that if the Gale Army can't hold it, the team in front will suffer, and their family members will be slaughtered.

  In this battle, no one can stay out of it, so it's better to win a big one.

   After passing this test, I will have a good life in a foreign land from now on.

  In fact, this is not considered a mountainous area, but because the water level drops during the dry season, a large riverbed is exposed. Everyone was walking on the river bed, which was actually three or four feet (ten meters) above the river bank.

   This is the shortcut to the territory of Panlong City, and only the Gale Army, who is well versed in the terrain and seasons, knows it. Otherwise, the fleeing team will have to bypass the stone forest above, and the journey will take a full three hours.

   Three hours is enough to rewrite the outcome of a battle.

  However, the enemy still caught up, and the fall of Weicheng was faster than expected.

  The archers climbed up the river bank one after another, condescending and ready to release arrows.

  The rest of the crowd put on their light armor and held their weapons. One of them said loudly: "Let's move the cart back to block the road and prevent the enemy from advancing."

  The boxes of the Sun family's belongings were thrown on the side of the road together with the carriage.

  In the past, they could block the way of civilians, but now of course they can also block the way of chasing soldiers. They are effective fortifications.

   Commander Xiao showed approval in his eyes: "Good idea, what's your name?"

   "My surname is He." The man smiled, showing his white teeth, "He Lingchuan."

  He has already thought about it, since the worst outcome is just waking up, then there is nothing to worry about in the dream, just let it go and play.

   Fleeing with the tide of refugees, even if you can survive, what's the point?

"The rear army knows the terrain, so they must retreat here, and the car formation must leave a line for entry and exit." Commander Xiao jumped off his horse, stepped on the mud with the others, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and moved the cart back to Banpo .

   This is hard work, even horses can't drag it, and manpower is even more difficult. The Gale army had to shout and work hard in unison before they could pull the carriage over.

  No one complained, because how difficult it is for me to move now, the difficulty for the enemy to move away will have to be doubled or tripled.

  In order to cause more trouble for the enemy, they dug the mud pit under the carriage deeper, so that the resistance to dragging is greater.

  He Lingchuan followed Commander Xiao, and the heavy rain poured his clothes on his body. As soon as he exerted himself, the muscles in his shoulders and neck stretched out, outlining a stern line.

   Only the two of them can tow a big car.

  The two of them went to move two large boxes and put them on the car. Before they could straighten up, Commander Xiao said to He Lingchuan, "Aren't you from Weicheng?"

  He Lingchuan was taken aback, but his face was confused: "Huh?"

   "The accent is not the same, the clothes are not the same." Commander Xiao turned his head to the side of the hillside, "People in Weicheng are generally small."

  There were a few archers lying on the hillside. He Lingchuan looked up and saw that they were all thin and small.

   "No." A wrong answer could risk death, He Lingchuan immediately replied, "I was originally from Tusu!"

  Tu Su City was captured ten years ago, and it is reasonable for the refugees to flee to Wei City.

  He Lingchuan immediately asked: "Will we have reinforcements?"

   Otherwise, staying here is waiting to die.

   "Yes." Commander Xiao said firmly, "At most an hour!"

  His voice was very loud, and the surrounding soldiers were refreshed.

   They only need to hold on for an hour before they can wait for reinforcements!

  Everyone rummaged through the boxes of the Sun family, hoping to get some more useful supplies. However, most of the military supplies have been removed, leaving only a box of weapons.

  Of course, a lot of gold and silver also fell out of the boxes scattered everywhere, and the newly recruited men always saw them when they walked around, and they were a little jealous.

  He Lingchuan saw a man hide a gold plate in his chest.

   Commander Xiao also saw it, and didn't stop him, but reminded them: "A block is too heavy, it will affect your skills. As long as you survive, you can choose whatever you want here!"

  There was a smile on everyone's face.

  He Lingchuan opened a box, looked at the contents, and was stunned: "This Junjun Sun is a glutton, right? Why do you have to pack everything?"

   Commander Xiao came over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing: "It's useful! Although it's not a military resource, it's really useful. Let's arrange it now."

  He Lingchuan looked at the soft gold and silver in the big boxes all over the floor, and rolled his eyes: "I have another idea, how about..."

   Commander Xiao also adopted his idea.

   So everyone made some arrangements, which took a lot of time.

   There were more and more refugees fleeing from the rear, and they all fled uphill from the gap in the convoy.

  Two quarters of an hour later, the shouts of killing got closer and closer.

   Commander Xiao and others stood guard on Banpo, concentrating on it. The rain hit the face, and no one felt cold.
