This is a desperate dense forest. Olivia used the machete in her hand to cut off a vine lying in front of her. Looking at Yan Baihu who was leading the way, she was now very sure that this was what he said.
The officer himself, who knew the road very well, could not find the road he was talking about. In the dense rain forest, the jaw-dropping growth rate of those plants had covered up all traces of human presence, and no one could see it again.
There are no traces left by them before.
A small stream appeared in front of them, and Yan Jiu waved his hand to signal the team to stop.
"Let everyone rest for a while, eat something and drink some water!" He touched the sweat beads on his forehead and said to Olivet.
Olivia nodded and turned away, while Yanjiu looked at the creek, slightly dazed. In his impression, there was no such creek, otherwise, he would definitely remember it.
Behind him were the mercenaries led by Olivia and a group of his subordinates, about two hundred people. These people were considered the vanguard of the army, and the army led by Qian Wubing was about a day's journey away from them.
They camped in a river valley, waiting for them to send back accurate information about the enemy.
"Would you like me to send a few teams to search separately?" Olivia came back after issuing the order and asked in a low voice.
"No, we can't separate. They may already know that we are coming. If we come separately, we can only deliver food to them!" Yan Jiu shook his head, rejected Olivia's suggestion, looked behind him again, and asked him
What is gratifying is that even though he led this team in several circles, the morale of this team did not drop because of this. Although the motivated mercenaries were a little tired, no one complained.
"We'll walk along the stream later. Their nest must be nearby. It won't be more than a day's journey. I'm sure of it!" Yan Jiu turned around, "Instead of wandering around in the forest, it's better to follow the waterway.
Let's walk together into the dark and get out of the woods, then things will be easier for us!"
After resting for a while, the somewhat tired team set off again along the creek.
In the river valley dozens of miles behind them, Qian Wubing was in the Chinese army's tent, listening to the reports from the scouts.
Rather than commanding this army, it is better to say that he is the supervisor of this army. In the Li people's unique military system, Qian Wubing is an outsider. Even if he wants to intervene, he doesn't know where to start.
So he simply handed over the command to the Li people's military commander - the elder named "Ben". Seeing Ben commanding the army in an orderly manner, he couldn't tell how he felt.
It was obvious that he had taken the initiative to hand over the command to Ben, but why was he always a little disappointed and even a little worried? Qian Wubing didn't understand his own mentality. Almost all people who were used to having power suddenly felt that they were no longer in their hands.
There is a common mentality, and he is even slightly worried in his heart. If this situation continues, he will never be able to control these Li people, and if he cannot control the Li people, then "his" Tamsui City will not be his Tamsui City.
, and Tamsui City, which can only be the Li people, he does not want to one day bring the Ming army to attack this city that was almost built by him.
"This place is more than twenty miles away from the beach. According to the agreement, the scouts lit a pile of smoke on the beach. After our fleet sees it, it should rush here!" Ben turned his head and looked towards Qian Wubing.
Report back.
Qian Wubing nodded: "Is there no news about Yan Jiu yet?"
Ben shook his head, Qian Wubing waved his hand, and he retreated.
This is a flat river valley. If this is used as the battlefield for a decisive battle, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to one's own side. However, Qian Wubing doesn't think Qin Ge will do what he wants. He even doubts that the other party will.
He set up a battle formation with open swords and guns to fight with himself. This was not a war between two countries, but a fight against bandits. At least, he had never heard of such a bachelor bandit. Just imagine, if all the bandits in this world were,
If you have this kind of virtue, how much trouble will you save for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!
The sky is slowly getting darker. It seems that we have to camp here for the night tonight. Yan Jiu has not reported any news yet, which shows that he has not found the location of the place! Qian Wubing is a little worried.
When the army set out, they only brought seven days' rations. Today is already the fifth day. If Yan Jiu doesn't bring back any news about the enemy tomorrow, he will have to let Ben lead the army towards the sea. The fleet can
To supply the army, it is not a good thing to run out of food in this forest.
The enemy's attack happened around midnight. In the night without lights, it was completely dark. When Qian Wubing was awakened by the noise around him, he walked out of his tent and found that there was a fire everywhere, and the officers
, was shouting loudly, gathering the somewhat panicked soldiers. In the depths of the dense forest on the other side of the river beach, firelight flashed, and from time to time, ignited rockets were shot out from the dense forest.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise not far away, and the huge impact rushed Qian Wubing to the ground. Looking up from the firelight, he saw an old face full of wrinkles, facing the man lying on the ground.
He shouted something loudly, but unfortunately, he could only see the opening and closing of the other person's mouth, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears, so he could not hear clearly what the other person was saying.
"Don't worry about me. Where are your guards? How are you protecting me!" Lufa shouted loudly at Ben: "The enemies are in the woods. Let our soldiers go and pull them out. I'm here.
You go to the front and fight!"
Ben's face was solemn, he nodded towards Qian Wubing and Lu Fa, drew out the dagger from his waist, and ran forward at high speed.
It took quite a while before all kinds of sounds from heaven and earth returned to Qian Wubing's ears. At this time, he had time to rub his ears and ask for directions while protecting him with a nervous look on his face.
"What happened just now?"
"The enemy's rocket attack ignited our powder keg!" Lufa turned around and saw that he was fine, and a big stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart.
Looking towards the horizon, I saw that the rockets falling into the camp on my side were no longer as dense as they were at the beginning. I don’t know if I led my men to rush over and kill the enemies, or if these enemies were just harassing me.
Idea, now it's time for them to prepare to retreat.
"Don't worry, sir!" Lufa saw his eyes and explained to him: "It's just a small group of enemies. If the enemies attack in a large scale, we will be waiting for them!" This is a desperate dense forest.
Olivia used the machete in her hand to cut down a vine lying in front of her. Looking at Yan Baihu who was leading the way, she was now very sure that this officer who knew the way with certainty was also looking for him.
We can no longer reach the road he mentioned. In the dense rain forest, the jaw-dropping growth rate of those plants has covered up all traces of human presence, and no traces left by them can be seen anymore.

A small stream appeared in front of them, and Yan Jiu waved his hand to signal the team to stop.
