The unlucky Pang Jiu was still the role of pathfinder, holding a spear in his hand and walking cautiously. He carefully observed the ground to prevent someone from accidentally stepping into a hole. Just now, a brother was killed by the leaves.
Pang Jiu tripped over a wooden stake, fell to the ground, and twisted his wrist. With this example, Pang Jiu had to be careful, "Damn it, I really don't understand, how can these old guys do this?"
To live in this place.”
A soldier next to him grinned and rolled his eyes. He exhaled and said silently, "Boss, which one of your eyes saw that there are people here? How can you live in such a poor place and keep company with birds and beasts? My biggest wish now is,
Even if I hurried through the old forest and camped on the Kuleika Highlands, I always felt that the forest was eerie."
A gust of cold wind hit, going straight into his neck. Coupled with what the soldier said, Pang Jiu couldn't help but shiver. Although Pang Jiu wrapped himself up like a bear rice dumpling, the cold air still came out, "Don't talk nonsense.
Yes, if the superintendent hears it, I will have to follow suit. You too, you have been in the army for a long time, how can you still have such thoughts? There are no gods and monsters in this world, there must be...
..”
"Gah...Gah..." Pang Jiu was talking, but suddenly his voice fell silent. His round eyes looked straight ahead. The soldier next to him lowered his head to check the ground, but there was no sound.
, and suddenly felt funny. What are you saying about you? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. So he raised his head slightly and wanted to make a joke, but when he saw the expression on Pang Jiu's face, his eyes widened.
I was shocked as if I had eaten shit. What is going on?
Following Pang Jiu's gaze, he also froze. There was a burly figure more than ten feet away in front of him. He was dressed in black fur, and the skin on his face was also dark. Only two eyes were shining, and there was a hair on his head.
Two horns, what kind of monster are these? Pang Jiu saw it, but Pi Qing, who was walking at the front, didn't seem to notice it. He was still checking the road. Pang Jiu's throat rattled, but there was no sound. He pinched her hard.
He paused, forced himself to calm down, and finally shouted, "Pi Qing... Pi Qing... Stop the fuck, your right side... your right side..."
When Pi Qing heard someone shouting, he turned his head in confusion, but before he saw the person behind him, he saw a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes. He didn't even see what was coming towards him, but there was a sound coming from his chest.
There was a sharp pain, and when he lowered his head, he saw that his chest was split in half, and the blood mixed with the internal organs was falling down. It was only then that he felt the pain, and finally lay on the ground. Hiss...
Jiu kept gasping for air, his feet seemed to be fixed by something, what did he see?
The monster quickly passed by and disappeared into the forest, but Pi Qing's whole body was disemboweled. The scene in front of him will never be forgotten in this life because it was too bloody.
"Monster...monster..." Pang Jiu's lips trembled, and several soldiers around him also looked shocked and frightened. What kind of monster was it? It was opened by Pi Qing at such a fast speed.
, the death was so tragic that it was simply shocking. Pang Jiu’s people stopped, and the abnormality here finally reached Shang Kexi’s ears. When Shang Kexi heard that a monster had appeared, he hurried to the front, where Pi Qing’s body was lying on the ground.
, blood flowed from the internal organs to the floor, and the chest was torn in half. Rao Shang Kexi has been on the battlefield for a long time. He has killed countless people and has seen many broken limbs and arms. But seeing the miserable condition of Pi Qing, he still felt that his scalp was a little bit...
numb.
What on earth caused this? Is there really a monster? Before the tens of thousands of troops arrived at the Kuleika Highlands, there was news about jungle monsters. This was not a good thing for the expeditionary force. Tie Mo was sitting
Yun Songxia was feeding the horse when he heard the sound of discussion in his ears. Elizabeth also walked over with a frown on her face, "What happened?"
"Something happened to the people exploring the road ahead. A soldier was attacked and said that he encountered a jungle monster." Elizabeth naturally did not believe in the so-called monsters, but she did not believe it, which did not mean that ordinary soldiers did not believe it. Even Ivanjie, a Siberian
The old youtiao also felt a little chilled in his heart, "No, that brother died in such a tragic way, it doesn't look like it was caused by a wild beast."
For the Northern Shanxi Army, dead people are not terrible. The soldiers have long been aware of death, but the question is how to die. If there is a monster, how can we not panic? Tie Mo was worried for a while, and he had just crossed the Yenisei River
, encountering this kind of thing, it seems that the road is really long and difficult. I threw down the fodder in my hand, supported Evanjie's shoulders, "Stop complaining, let me go and have a look."
Pi Qing's body did not move. Shang Kexi also wanted to find some clues, so he did not ask anyone to move the body. Unfortunately, Shang Kexi led the troops in battle and was brave and ruthless. If he was asked to check the body, it would be a bit difficult. Tie
Mo led Sha Diao and others to the place where the accident happened in a hurry. As soon as he arrived, the surrounding chatter immediately disappeared and everyone became quiet. He squatted down and looked at Pi Qing's dead state. It was really scary. He waved to Pang Jiu and called him
He came over and asked, "How did Pi Qing die?"
At this time, Pang Jiu had calmed down a lot, and Tie Mo asked him in person. Pang Jiu carefully recalled the scene at that time, and said bit by bit, "Supervisor, I don't even know what that thing is. It's all black, and there's a
It was as hairy as a gorilla, with two horns, big eyes, and was very fast. By the time Mo Jiang warned Pi Qing, it was already too late, and the thing sprang out from behind the tree and passed in front of Pi Qing.
, when I looked at it again, Pi Qing was disemboweled."
How could it be possible? Tie Mo really didn't believe it. He was already quite strong in Kung Fu. It was easy to kill someone in an instant, but it was impossible to disembowel someone in the blink of an eye without the help of tools. He was tall and tall.
, with black fur and two horns. If not for the many people who saw it, one would have doubted whether Pang Jiu was frightened.
Tie Mo took a long breath and maintained his composure. He couldn't panic. The Western Expedition had just begun. It was strange to back down now and talk about an expedition. He nodded towards Sha Diao. Sha Diao understood it and crouched down.
He laid Pi Qing's body flat and slowly traced the wound with his fingers. His brows were furrowed tightly. The bloody scene did not seem to frighten him at the internal organs left outside. Many soldiers couldn't help but gasp. This General Sha was indeed worthy of his honor.
He was the intelligence chief. A normal person would have vomited long ago, yet he was so calm.
"Supervisor, judging from the wounds on the chest, the dents are serious and the wounds are uneven, but the signs of pulling are not serious. Judging from the current wounds, they are definitely not torn open, but the result of being hit by a blunt object and then split.
"The answer given by the sand sculpture made Tie Mo breathe a sigh of relief. Since it was a blunt weapon, it proved that the other party was not a beast, but a human being. Only human beings could do such a thing.
He turned around and glared at Pang Jiu, and scolded angrily, "Pang Jiu, you are also a veteran, why are you still so suspicious? The other party is just a pretender. From now on, the formation will be more compact, and there is no such thing as
A monster appears and captures him alive."
"Yes." Pang Jiu had no temper at all after being scolded. He scratched his head and was still a little confused. Since he was a human, what was going on with those two horns?
After collecting Pi Qing's body and preparing to bury him on the Kuleika Highlands, the team resumed their march, but the soldiers' hearts became heavier. Tie Mo wanted more, and since Wang Zuoguan was not here, he could discuss it.
Only Shang Kexi and others said, "Tell the brothers to be careful and don't stop before reaching the Kuleika Highlands. It seems that this old forest is not peaceful. We have to be more careful, otherwise it will be very difficult."
It’s easy to capsize in the gutter.”
The dense jungle is particularly ferocious in the cold winter, and the howling wind brings greater oppression to the people walking in the forest. After Pi Qing's accident, all departments became more cautious, and nothing happened until they walked out of the forest.
The Kuleika Highlands is surrounded by jungle. There is a narrow muddy path to the west, which divides the jungle into two parts: north and south. However, with the coming of winter, this path has become indistinct under the heavy snow cover.
The Kuleika Plateau is dozens of miles in circumference, which is very different from the Taymyr Plateau. The terrain here is higher in the east and lower in the west, with mountains and rocks, so the only place where you can camp is in the west. Fortunately, the Germans moved very well.
In a hurry, the camp was not damaged too much.
The handsome tent was quickly set up, a charcoal fire was lit, and several people sat together. The faces of Shang Kexi and others were obviously not very good-looking. Although they traveled through the jungle and did not suffer much damage, what happened along the way brought serious consequences.
There was a huge hidden danger. Pi Qing's death had already spread throughout the army, and the news about the monster was so mysterious that it had a great impact on morale. If you ignore this matter and continue on your way, there won't be any big problems, but
It is not a good thing after all for the soldiers to take this burden with them on the road.
As a battlefield veteran who has led troops for many years, he certainly understands the importance of morale. If Pi Qing's matter is not resolved, it will linger around the soldiers like a latent plague. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster. Shang Kexi held an iron rod and
Carrying the charcoal in the basin, he looked a little worried, "Supervisor, do you think it's someone left behind by the barbarian who deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare us?"
Shang Kexi also nodded and continued, "Superintendent, although the matter is not serious, I feel that it is necessary to clarify the matter. Now many soldiers are already panicking. If we do not clarify this matter,
, the impact will become increasingly worse.”
Why doesn't Tie Mo want to find out? On the way here, he has been thinking about this matter, and also thought about whether it was the Germans who did it, but Tie Mo felt that this possibility was very small. If the Germans wanted to do it, they would take advantage of it.
It can be said that it is meaningless to use the cavalry's advantage to block frontally or harass from the side, and to pretend to be a ghost.
At this moment, I really feel that the Western Expedition is like going to the West to seek scriptures. I don’t know what monsters and monsters I will encounter along the way. Even though many spies have been sent to search this place, they still lack enough understanding of Siberia. Arrival at the Yenisei River
The basin between the Ob River can be regarded as a wild land. Even the Slavs rarely set foot here. The harsh climate and complex terrain make this land mysterious and terrifying. From the library
Looking at the situation in the Leika Highlands, we know that although the Germans and Slavs occupied Kuleika, they did not clear the surrounding areas. Who knows who else is hiding in this place?
Maybe it was something done by the local indigenous people. In this era, many indigenous people still lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and they had a strong sense of territoriality. It would be great if the German prisoners could be captured. Unfortunately, these German cavalry fled south early and had no chance of fighting.
When he was frowning, his eyes passed by and he accidentally saw Elizabeth lowering her head and muttering something. Tie Mo couldn't help but was stunned, stretched out his hand and tapped her shoulder, "Elizabeth, did you remember something?
Just say whatever comes to your mind, and it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong.”
"Ha" Elizabeth raised her head, her big eyes flickering, her brows furrowed, she didn't seem to have much confidence, "I just heard Igor said that a long time ago, there was a tribe living in the woods west of the river.
, they are huge and powerful, and the tribes on the Taymyr Plateau were robbed before. Some old people in the Tuva tribe call this tribe the Black Water Tribe. They are ferocious, not only bloodthirsty, but also eat human flesh.
.But I have never seen this Blackwater Department, so I always thought it was just a legend. Now that I think about it, could it be true?"
Eating human flesh? Listening to Elizabeth's voice and the raging cold wind, everyone in the handsome tent felt like their scalps were numb. Tie Mo also swallowed his saliva. Are there really cannibals in the world? "Don't care about each other.
Who is it? In short, if we are more careful, there won't be any big problem. Let us inform you and place guard posts two miles away along the way. The patrolling soldiers should be alert."
Tie Mo had to be careful. He didn't want his boat to capsize in the ditch. Tens of thousands of troops had just crossed the Yenisei River. It would be bad if they were attacked repeatedly. After a day's journey, everyone was very tired and rested early.
, Elizabeth was wrapped in a thick quilt and fell into a deep sleep. I don’t know when she woke up in a daze, but she saw Tie Mo staring blankly at the roof with his eyes open. He looked like he was not asleep, "Supervisor
Master, are you still worried about Pi Qing?"
"Not entirely, I just can't figure out why the Germans went south so decisively, crossed the Yenisei River, and reached Kuleika. What was going on along the way? I think you have also seen this primitive land.
In the jungle, traps can be set up everywhere, and the infantry formations and cavalry we rely on have little room to use here. If the Germans do not withdraw and find ways to delay us, they will cause us a lot of trouble.
Especially the food and baggage items. If Royce could come up with the idea of raiding Lake Baikal, would he not understand the importance of food roads? It doesn't require too many people, just a few elite troops lurking in the jungle, constantly attacking our attacks.
It is a disaster for us to be harassed by baggage troops and horses. Now we are stationed in Kuleika. It is okay. In the future, as we advance westward and the front is lengthened, our dependence on baggage will become even more important."
Elizabeth couldn't help but frown when she heard Tie Mo talk about it. Although she didn't know much about the art of war, she had been with the army for many years and knew the importance of food routes.
