Chapter 135 The emperor hunts in the south, the emperor is at his end, and he must survive in a desperate situation!

The Han army is about to go deep into Changshan to pursue the rebellious South Vietnamese natives.

However, the camp was not in a hurry to dismantle it, and some troops were left to garrison it.

After all, if you go deep into Changshan Mountain, you don't know how long it will take to fight. With such a stronghold, it is extremely convenient for both supplies and rest.

Of the three thousand South Vietnamese natives who attended the banquet with the leaders, two thousand were persuaded to submit, and the remaining one thousand returned to the glory of the Tianzhu God.

Now Liu Ke only has more than 20,000 fighting troops in his hands.

Among them, there were originally 8,000 South Vietnamese natives. Counting the 2,000 new ones, only 10,000 could walk in the mountains and forests as if they were on the ground.

There are at least 20,000 young men in Bamudan's hands who can fight. It would not be difficult to raise 30,000 more.

After all, the South Vietnamese natives are a nation where all the people are soldiers.

"The bones are very hard, so chew them harder."

The bones of the South Vietnamese natives are indeed hard, and Li Xuan has personally confirmed this.

Liu Ke murmured and ordered the march.

It rained heavily last night, making it even more muddy and difficult to walk in the mountains and forests.

The soldiers of the three armies entered Changshan without saying a word.

Clouds and mist linger in the mountains, and outside the mountains, the rivers around the mountains are sparkling, and fish are swimming back and forth in the water.

The sun shines through the clouds and casts golden light, illuminating this beautiful scenery, making it warm and comfortable.

The whole scene feels like being in a peaceful dream.

In the distance, a group of soldiers and horses bearing the flag of Cochin approached Changshan leisurely.

If you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the mountains, no one is willing to go deep into the mountains and forests.

The woods are full of moisture and mud, so be extra careful when marching to avoid going deep into the mud or accidentally slipping.

Many damp dead branches were rotting on the ground, emitting an unpleasant rotten smell.

In addition, the mountains and forests are also home to various snakes and insects.

Wandering among the branches and grass, sometimes I can even look into the eyes of venomous snakes, watching them entrenched in the treetops, spitting out messages.

After the Han soldiers went deep into the mountains and forests, they seemed to have been forgotten, and their mood was a bit dull.

What can make people feel a little better may be the crystal dew with light on the leaves of the trees.

The soldiers gently opened the branches, and a string of water drops shook from the treetops.

The scout who opened the way first held a long knife in his hand and cut a path through the messy branches and leaves in front, walking lightly.

Quack quack——

During the arduous march in silence, a bird call suddenly came.

This sound makes me a little nervous.

All the soldiers subconsciously looked for fame, and immediately someone cursed secretly:

"brute!"

I don’t know if he is scolding the South Vietnamese natives who have taken refuge in the mountains and forests, or this bird who is ignorant of current affairs.

After all, in these deep mountains and dense forests, the worst thing that hinders marching is not the harsh environment.

Rather, they were afraid of the South Vietnamese natives who might break out at any time.

In order to make the soldiers feel more at ease, Liu Ke, Li Jingji, Hua Chengyu and others who led the army did not dare to say too many words.

There were only the simplest and crudest orders, and the occasional cough.

"Your Majesty, there is a high slope over there with a good view. Why not lead the army to take a rest first."

Chen Fujia came to report. Even though he was from a well-known family and cared about image, the clothes under his armor had a few strands of silk hanging out from the branches.

"Well, let's send scouts to explore first, and then take a short rest."

Going deep into the mountains and forests to search for the South Vietnamese natives was more difficult than Liu Ke imagined.

Now only the South Vietnamese natives who were recruited by him can maintain their fighting capacity.

The combat effectiveness of other Han army officers and soldiers has dropped a lot.

On a high slope, the view is wide.

Li Jingji even climbed up himself and took a look at his current position.

Beyond the sparse treetops, you can see the river at the foot of the mountain, and even hear the faint sound of water flowing.

By chance, he saw a stream in the forest.

Li Jingji was overjoyed and hurried to the donkey cart to pay his respects:

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war: The mountains are close to the valleys, the place of life is high, and the battle is booming without climbing. This is where the army of the mountains is."

"Although the South Vietnamese natives hid in the mountains and forests, they were not easily discovered."

"But we have to survive in daily life, especially this water source, which is indispensable."

"As long as our army searches along the stream, we will definitely find traces!"

It makes sense, but this is what Li Jingji said.

Liu Ke pondered for a moment, no matter what, it is good to have a direction.

If this continues and no one is found, the morale of the army will probably become even lower.

Seeing Li Jingji's eagerness to try again, Liu Ke said:

"You lead the three thousand vanguard and go one step ahead. You place scouts along the way to explore the surrounding environment at any time."

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the person, you can trick the person out!

"yes!"

Li Jingji was ordered to capture the South Vietnamese natives no matter what this time.

The regular army in the battle against Cochin was defeated, so forget it.

If you fight against the natives, will you still lose??

The vanguard troops and horses were marching, and a few scouts were exploring the way ahead.

Suddenly, a strange sound broke the silence during the march.

Everyone's body was shocked.

They looked around hurriedly, but before they could find the place where the sound came from, they saw a scout with a deer-antler spear stuck across his body that flew from nowhere.

The standard weapon of the South Vietnamese natives, but no one saw it, wondering where the enemy was.

Just when everyone was panicking, the scout who had been pierced by the deer antler spear fell straight to the ground.

Dang clang——

The long knife in his hand that opened the path struck the stone, making a clear and harsh sound.

Then there is the big beach, the dazzling scarlet blood.

"There is an ambush, be careful!"

A quick-reacting scout shouted quickly.

This sound made all the scouts tremble with fear.

Not caring about the mud on the ground, they rolled around and crawled on the ground in search of shelter.

One of the scouts had mud on his hands. He wiped them hurriedly and hurriedly took out the ringing arrow from the arrow pot.

He nervously held the bow and pulled the string, and was about to fire an arrow to notify the troops behind him.

But at the same time, another deer-antler spear flew over.

What followed was only the scout's cry of pain.

Then, in the dense forest, there was another sound of bowstrings.

The figures in the woods are constantly changing, branches are shaking and crackling everywhere, and countless arrows pass over the leaves.

The scouts looked solemn, and now they knew where the South Vietnamese natives were.

But this amount is completely beyond imagination.

"For the glory of Tianzhu God!"

The South Vietnamese natives shouted in South Vietnamese dialect, with fanatical expressions on their faces. In addition to their deerskin clothes, they also had tree branches stuck on their bodies.

Dressed like this, if you hide in the dense forest, it will be difficult to see anyone.
