Seeing the Japanese retreating, Su Yuan finally calmed down. Now he must restore contact with the troops as soon as possible and let the masses return at the same time. Su Yuan was about to send someone to contact Cao Bao who had retreated to the mountains. At this moment, Cao Bao sent someone to
Request support.
Su Yuan felt strange that Cao Bao encountered something in the mountains and still needed support. According to the people who came to report, they covered the wounded and evacuated to the mountains. He didn’t know where that place was, but the mountains were high and the forests were dense, surrounded by primitive dense forests.
Unexpectedly, they encountered savages there. The savages moved quickly and secretly, using bows, arrows and muskets. They injured many of them and finally took advantage of them when they were not careful and captured more than a dozen wounded people.
Cao Bao led his troops to search but found no trace, and was harassed from time to time. The anxious Cao Bao was afraid that the wounded would be harmed and did not dare to press too hard, so he sent someone to inform him.
"Can savages use muskets?" Su Yuan felt strange about this. He heard his grandfather say that very early on, some people hid in the mountains to avoid persecution from the court and years of disasters. Maybe what Cao Bao encountered was
their descendants.
"Li Zhuang, you take the troops to Feiyun Mountain to restore the garrison there, and send someone to inform Chunlei and the others to help the people return and repair their homes." Su Yuan ordered.
"What about you?" Li Zhuang asked.
"It's not like we're dealing with the Japanese. I don't need to bring many people." Su Yuan replied, "Just let Chen Xing and Xiao Wu follow me."
"Company commander, you have to be careful. I will ask Shanzi and Xiaohu to keep in touch with you." Li Zhuang said worriedly: "Let me know if anything happens."
"Okay, that's it." Su Yuan responded.
Su Yuan took Chen Xing and Xiao Wu deep into the mountains. The surrounding mountains were even steeper. There were no roads at all. There were thick dead branches and leaves under their feet, which had not been accumulated over many years.
They finally found Cao Bao who had chased them here. "Su Yuan, you are here." Cao Bao immediately came up to greet them.
"How is the situation?" Su Yuan asked.
"When I got here, there was no movement, and I couldn't see any clues or traces." Cao Bao replied, "I don't dare to disperse our troops any more. I'm really worried."
"It's nothing, there won't be any real enemies here." Su Yuan comforted: "He checked Cao Bao's injured men, and most of them were caused by bows, arrows and muskets.
"Okay, Brother Cao, you lead the troops back to Feiyun Mountain and leave this place to me." Su Yuan said.
"How can that be done!?" Cao Bao said immediately: "I lost the person, and I have to find him back. Besides, there are many of them, and you can't handle it with just a few of them."
Su Yuan looked at the dense forest in the distance and replied: "The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. It is more difficult to spread out when there are more people. The three of me just form an offensive and defensive team. Besides, they don't have any modern weapons. I can handle it." Su Yuan continued.
The arrangement was: "You go back to Feiyun Mountain to gather the troops. Now you are needed there to organize the brothers in Feiyun Mountain."
"Okay then." Cao Bao responded.
Cao Bao led the troops back, and Su Yuan signaled to Chen Xing and Xiao Wuyi. The three of them immediately hid in the bushes and grass. Based on Su Yuan's judgment, the people in the mountains must be paying attention to Cao Bao's troops, and they would definitely follow them if they evacuated.
If you monitor or report back, you will be able to find their residence by hiding yourself.
Sure enough, shortly after the team withdrew, a vague figure emerged from the dense forest to the east. Amid a burst of cheers, some followed the evacuating troops to monitor and follow, while others returned to the deeper dense forest.
When there was no movement around, Su Yuan and the others quietly emerged from the hiding place. With Su Yuan in front and Chen Xing and Xiao Wu behind, the three of them formed a triangular formation and searched forward.
It seems that the people here are very experienced in hiding in the forest, and there are no traces at all where they walked. However, Su Yuan still judged the direction from the vertical and horizontal directions of the branches on the ground and the broken branches around him, and they entered a deeper dense forest.
There are more trees that have been around for hundreds of years, and it is completely a primitive dense forest. If the leaves did not fall off in winter, the place would be almost invisible to the sun. Even so, the surroundings are still relatively dark, and the dense branches still block most of the sunlight.
Su Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly felt nervous. Although he hadn't noticed anything yet, there were signs of danger. Su Yuan waved his hand, and Xiao Wu and Chen Xing behind him immediately stopped and raised their guns on guard.
The surroundings were very quiet, but Su Yuan still heard the sound of leaves sliding on the ground dozens of meters away. It couldn't be caused by the wind, nor could it be some animal. Su Yuan stepped forward slowly with light steps.
Suddenly, Su Yuan's foot sank. Su Yuan immediately felt something bad. Even though he moved swiftly, he still could not avoid it. His right foot was caught in a noose. Su Yuan wanted to step on his foot, but the force of the noose was too great.
His whole body soared into the air, and one of Su Yuan's feet was tied up, causing him to stand upside down and be lifted up into the air.
"Company commander!" Chen Xing and Xiaowu who were behind him were shocked. The two of them rushed forward desperately to rescue them. "Don't come over!" Su Yuan shouted loudly.
But it was too late. Xiao Wu stepped into the rope net, and he was tied into a ball with the hidden dead branches and leaves and was also hung up. Chen Xing, who was on guard, stopped immediately, but it was too late. A row of sharpened sticks were nailed to
The wooden stakes swept towards him...
At the same time, excited calls suddenly rang out from the surroundings, and numerous figures appeared not far away and rushed towards us.
Su Yuan had already drawn his gun in his hand. Seeing that Xiao Wu was in danger, he raised his gun and aimed at the main rope on the rope net. There was a "pop" sound, and the rope above Xiao Wu was interrupted. Xiao Wu fell from the air, and there was a thick layer below.
The dead branches and leaves kept him uninjured, and Xiao Wu hurriedly broke free.
Su Yuan immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the rope above him. The rope was interrupted and Su Yuan fell from the air. He was already on guard. When he fell, he turned over and his feet landed firmly on the ground. At this time, Chen Xing on the other side
Unable to dodge for the moment, Su Yuan had no time to step forward. He flicked his foot and the rope above him was thrown out...
The rope head was powerfully made several circles on the wooden stake, and Su Yuan stepped hard on it. Fortunately, in time, the sharp wooden stake was only a few centimeters away from Chen Xing's body. Chen Xing couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. This kind of shock
I had never heard of a method of death, and there were countless bloody holes all over my body.
The people who were gradually approaching were shocked when they saw all this. They did not dare to approach any further, but they immediately shot a sharp arrow at Su Yuan. Chen Xing had not yet left and Su Yuan did not dare to dodge, so he had to raise the gun in his hand to block it, but
But he was hit by an arrow in the back.
Chen Xing and Xiao Wu, who were out of danger, were shocked. In anger, they raised their guns and were about to fire, but they heard Su Yuan stop them: "Don't hurt anyone!"
Xiao Wu felt relieved. He raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky. The sound of the gunshot deterred the attacker, but only for a moment, and then he rushed forward again.
Chen Xing on the side raised his gun and pointed it at the swords and spears in their hands and fired repeatedly. With the precise firing of bullets, the weapons in the attackers' hands were knocked off one after another. Su Yuan also insisted on raising his gun to block the attack.
The two guns spurted out flames, and he aimed at the attacker's feet.
The attackers quickly understood that these three people were showing mercy. In surprise, they finally stopped attacking... But one person still rushed up and rushed towards Su Yuan, and stabbed Su Yuan with the dagger in his hand...
