Chapter 620

It took a full 30 miles to get rid of the wolf riders behind.

Counting again, the number of people is less than 80, and nearly 30% of the people were permanently left behind in the previous rush.

In this way, if you want to go to the military stronghold in the middle, you won't be able to go for the time being, because you don't know if you will meet the barbarians again if you turn around and go back. If you are surrounded again, you will be in big trouble.

After all, Shen Hao felt that he was still a bit lucky. Although he encountered infiltrating cavalry from the barbarians, fortunately there were not many and no advanced monks to fight against him, so that he could fight out as if he had entered the land of no one, so that he would not be caught by the second wolf cavalry behind him .

"Shall we go to the upper military camp now?"

"." Chen Zifang was silent for a while.

There are less than a hundred people in hand, and they are still light cavalry, let alone reinforcements, and I will be hungry after wandering outside for a long time, so I either change to the nearest military camp, or turn around and go back to the Yushi military station.

The chief officer of this trip was not Shen Hao, who had just experienced the battlefield, but Chen Zifang. After pondering for a long time, Chen Zi just said: "Go ahead, and repair after ten miles. Captain Xu, please arrange the cavalry guard."

"Your officer understands."

Captain Xu began to rearrange his manpower, especially the scouts. Instead of reducing the number of people, more teams were sent out. The rest of the people continued to advance northwestward at a slightly faster speed.

Chen Zifang signaled Shen Hao to change his clothes, the blood all over his body would harden on the skin after drying, which was very uncomfortable, and he also took the opportunity to listen to Shen Hao's opinion.

"Master Shen, do you think we should go back to Yushi for shelter now or continue to the upper military stronghold?"

Shen Hao took out a new coat from the storage bag and put it on. The inner armor inside the coat would not be soaked in blood, so there was no need to take it off. Besides, the black beast tattoo on his chest was visibly ugly.

"Pill Master Chen, what are your thoughts?" Shen Hao asked back.

"My idea is to avoid the range of the central military stronghold first, then make some adjustments, and wait for the relevant information to come before making any plans."

Shen Hao nodded in agreement and said, "This is the safest way."

That's why he wouldn't suggest withdrawing the Yushi military depot. The risk is too great. If one is not good, it is easy to be labeled as "fear of war". It is still Chen Zifang's opinion that is safe.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the cavalry stopped. The wounded began to bandage each other, and the rest dispersed to take charge of vigilance. The wilderness at night is not peaceful. In addition to guarding against possible barbarians, one must also guard against hordes of wild beasts. Especially now that almost everyone has blood on their bodies, it is a fierce temptation to those wild beasts that are restless when they smell blood.

Shen Hao followed Chen Zifang around the temporary small camp.

It is said that the camp is actually a small circle sitting around. Because they were worried that they might encounter barbarians again, they didn't light the fire. Many people rubbed medicine and bandaged each other by moonlight. But mostly minor injuries. Those who were seriously injured had no ability to survive the previous horse battle.

Shen Hao followed Chen Zifang, and seeing how the other party handled some wounded made him feel novel. For example, there are sutures to deal with large wounds, but they are not needles and threads, but a kind of large insect forceps similar to clips, which can firmly close the wound through the skin. Loosen and fall off by itself. This is different from Xuan Qingwei's method. Most of the time when Xuan Qingwei treated wounds, he used spells.

It's just that there is no alcohol or iodine here, but there is a similar viscous potion called "red paste", which is accompanied by a strong burning sensation during disinfection. They were all chewed up.

When it was almost the right time, Chen Zifang received a new order from the Taoist chief yamen.

After reading it, Chen Zifang handed it to Shen Hao, and said at the same time: "Master Zuo asked us to go to the upper military camp."

The actual content of the order is actually more than just giving arrangements for a new destination. There is also a simple battle description. Just before, it was not only the central military village that was attacked by the barbarians, the upper part was also attacked violently, and the situation was even "more worrying" than the central military village.

But the general manager of the Daoist Yamen asked Chen Zifang and Shen Hao to give up their plan to go to the central military camp and divert to the more dangerous upper military camp. Why?

Can't figure it out. But the military order cannot be changed.

"Sleep in the wild tonight, and guard in batches." After Chen Zifang and Shen Hao read the order, they turned their heads and formally gave the order to Captain Xu. It's not safe to go on the road at night, and most of the soldiers are tired. After surviving a near death, you will be extremely tired. At this time, it is better to relax your tense nerves a little bit.

Shen Hao didn't sleep, he sat cross-legged on the spot, seemed to close his eyes to rest his mind, but he was thinking about his previous performance in the horse war.

For the first time in battle, Shen Hao felt that his performance was barely good. The reason why they fought in and out of the irresistible was because there were no high-level barbarian monks among the enemies. It is estimated that the other party did not expect that there would be three Yuandan Realm and one Concentrating Ninth Level in the cavalry team of only a hundred people, otherwise there was a high probability that they would not take the initiative to hire them.

To say that it was a crushing battle just now in Shen Hao's senses is actually justified. But there are also many problems encountered. For example, horsemanship is not good at riding, there is no suitable weapon for horsemanship, and some special tactics such as "drag knife" are not familiar with horsemanship. The most important thing is that Shen Hao did not have a good horsemanship in the previous horsemanship. Control your true energy consumption.

As soon as he came up, he cut it with a black cut. It was cool, but it was too expensive. If he hadn't changed it to a knife in the back, it would have capsized the gutter.

It was different from all the fights Shen Hao had experienced before. When in battle, the moves and movements don't need to be too subtle, just one-hit kills should be as simple as possible. The same is true in terms of spells, all those with "confuse" or "hidden moves" are not suitable for killing the enemy in the battle formation, simple and direct ones such as thunder in the palm, snake in the palm, and knife gang are practical, soul suppression, soul power, etc. It's useless to wait.

Of course, Shen Hao reckoned that if he faced a monk whose cultivation level was similar to or slightly higher than his, he would have to go all out and not choose to use means.

Fighting between monks and monks is another matter.

At night, Shen Hao could hear the screams of wild beasts from time to time. It was they who came in droves and were shot by prepared soldiers. There was no chance for the corpse to be buried, so it could only be left in place. The smell of blood attracted more beasts, and soon they played the buffet dinner by themselves.

At dawn, the cavalry started back on the road. Some of the edible beasts that were shot last night were collected by the cavalry, and after dawn, they lit a fire and roasted them as rations while they were resting. Many people are starving. Most people didn't eat anything last night, only a few guys with dry biscuits in their pockets sat down proudly.

However, a dozen beasts are not enough for dozens of people to share food, so we have to reach the upper military camp as soon as possible to have a solid meal.

In the afternoon, Shen Hao rode on his horse and saw a huge fortress made of wood and stone from a distance, and there were even many embers outside the fortress that had just been extinguished and were still smoking. The smell of blood and scorching wafted along the wind, making Shen Hao and his party subconsciously tense up again.
