Chapter 222 Officers and Rebels
On the second day, the caravan escort came back from the country to inquire about the news.
The news brought byis that there are a small number of rebels along the way to the border, and there is no big power. It has to go all the way to the sphere of influence in Luzhou to have the largest chaotic Sirius army.
Under Qi Lie's meditation, he waved forward, and the caravan slowly set out to follow the country.
As long as it is not a large-scale assembly of tens of thousands of people, the caravan will not be afraid to meet it. After all, worshipping the fire gate is the second largest faction in the country, which will always make people a little afraid. Moreover, more than a thousand guards of this caravan are all warriors above the third-order. When they meet ordinary rebels composed of ordinary people, one person resists ten without asking. Question, even ordinary guys have learned a half-style self-defense...
The caravan slowly stepped into the border.
What I saw along the way was trampled farmland and houses with black smoke. Although it was not ten rooms and nine empty, there were still ten rooms and five or six empty rooms, which was a depressed scene.
At this time, Qu Shan couldn't help but deeply doubt it. When Mr. Sun met him for the first time, he actually said that Sui Guo was a rare rich country in the East. Where is this wealth reflected...
After passing through one village after another, the caravan slowly moved forward. For several days, they met refugees. The rumored chaotic army did not see it.
Qu Dan was muttering to himself. On this day, as soon as he walked out of a mountain pass, he suddenly beat the gongs and drums in front of him, and a large area of ragged clothes and armed with "weapons" appeared in front of him.
Their weapons include hoes, shovels, wooden sticks and other agricultural tools, as well as some inferior knives and long guns, which make the whole team look like a refugee army, blocking the road of the caravan, dense, with thousands of people.
The first person was carrying a good knife, shaking his legs, slanting the sky, touching the stubble on his face, and roared, "Which caravan is ahead? Passing Grandpa's territory, why don't you donate money quickly!"
Qu Shan looked at it and laughed. This man's strength is only the sixth level, and the army behind him is the ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness at all. It is thought that he took advantage of the strong wind of civil strife to be the mountain thieves and bandits who blocked the way and robbed the darts.
It's not good. The mountain thief didn't say that classic line...
The caravan estimated that there was no threat to this team of robbers, so they were relieved, but General Manager Sun still stepped forward and held his fists in his hands and said, "I am Sun Xin, a subordinate caravan of the Fire Gate. Please make way..."
"Worship the Fire Gate?!" The head of the mountain thief was shocked and immediately felt a trace of fear. "You said worship the fire door. How do I know you didn't lie to me? Give the money quickly, and grandpa will let you go!"
Sun Xin sneered and threw a sign with a bright red flame far away. The head of the mountain thief picked it up and looked at it. His face immediately changed greatly. He left the sign and ran away: "Grandpa has found the wrong person, grandma, withdraw! Get out of here!"
After a while, the chaotic crowd dispersed without a trace.
The caravan set off again.
Qu Dan nodded thoughtfully. It seems that although Baihuomen is countless times smaller than Longmen Mountain, it is still a little famous in Suiguo, at least it can frighten some incompetent characters.
I walked for another few days.
The caravan was repeatedly robbed by the "riot army", but after hearing the name of worshipping the fire gate, they immediately dodged from afar.
However, Qu Shan can still see from these turbulent forces that the civil strife in the country has indeed risen to a certain extent. These people are obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob. If there is government control, can such a situation happen?
Qu Dan is still a little confused. Why is there so much learning from the failure of the uprising and so many people rebel?
Resist the country or the Longmen Mountain?
It seems that these two guys are the same giant, and they are not what ordinary people can deal with at all...
Twenty days later, the caravan walked out of a state on the border and entered the second state, Wuzhou.
Along the way, refugees could be seen everywhere, and the chaotic army was simply armed at three to five times, and a miasma, which made Qu Shan frown tightly.
This country is too different from the country he remembers. He even doubts whether he has gone to the wrong place. Is this the rumored rich and beautiful business country?
The boundary of Wuzhou is obviously different from the border. Walking through here, the caravans gradually see the traces of the battle between the officers and the chaotic army. Walking on the road, across the road, you will find several decomposed military corpses, emitting a stench.
The people in the caravan gradually looked at it heavily. It is undeniable that when they arrived here, there were regular rebels who could fight with each other with the officers and soldiers. The combat effectiveness was certainly not low. It was not the previous ones who could be scared by the name of worshipping the volcano alone.
The further you go, the more obvious the traces of the battle become. Finally, in a place of a great plain, a tragic battlefield appeared in everyone's sight.
The banners are broken, the corpses are everywhere, and the ghosts are full of ghosts.
Countless bald eagles circled over the battlefield, adding a gloomy touch to the vast plain.
Everyone in the caravan thumped in their hearts. There were no more than ten thousand dead bodies on the battlefield. I don't know how tragic the situation was at that time.
Qi Lie and several people felt bad, urging the caravan to speed up the journey.
One day, two days, three days...
More than ten days later, it had reached the edge of Wuzhou. Surprisingly, there were no rebels blocking the way, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After passing Wuzhou, you will reach the boundary of Luzhou.
Although Luzhou has the largest rebel Sirius army, the people in the caravan are not very worried. After all, Luzhou is adjacent to the autonomous territory of Baihuo Gate. No matter how arrogant the Qi Tianlang is, he always has to give a little face to the Baihuo Gate, because once it angers the Baihuo Gate and attacks on both sides with the army of the government, his rebels will not have a foothold. The place.
Night, camping.
"I have walked more than half of the journey with the country. Tomorrow, I can cross Wuzhou and enter the boundary of Luzhou. The support team in the door should be almost there. Let's hold on a little longer and you can go home." Qi Lie cheered up the guards of the caravan.
"Boss Qi, how long will you rest after going back this time? Shall we start when the civil strife is over? I haven't seen the kid at home for several years, and I don't know how tall he is..." A clerk named Lao Li asked.
Qi Lie nodded: "I will tell the sect about this matter. Don't worry. If you go out, you will definitely ensure your safety!"
"Follow Boss Qi, there is nothing to say! The brothers are convinced that there have been no mistakes in so many years..." Lao Li stood up and said.
Everyone nodded one after another, and everyone was convinced by the prestige of Qi Lie in the caravan.
Just as everyone was chatting, several guards in the distance suddenly rushed over.
Before the person arrived, he immediately shouted loudly, "It's not good. I found a large number of troops on the other side of the mountain and came towards us!"
Wan——
Everyone was shocked one after another.
"What are you talking about, army? How many people are there? Officers or rebels?" Qi Lie immediately jumped up and grabbed the man's neck and asked.
"It's too dark to see clearly. I only know that there are a lot of them. They are driving towards us along the official road!" The guard gasped and his face was full of panic.
"How far is it?" Qi Lie asked in a low voice.
"About an hour to us."
Qi Lie was silent for a moment and immediately raised his hand to command: "Whether it is officers or rebels, it is not a good thing for us. Immediately drive Lei Long into the field. Everyone, act quickly and move the caravan to the cliff over there and back to the cliff!"
The whole caravan immediately moved. Taking advantage of the night, a thunder dragon was driven off the official road, rushed into the field, and then headed for the mountain not far away.
The team must stand on the mountain before the army comes.
In this way, even if they are attacked by the army, they don't have to worry about being attacked, they just need to keep one side.
General Manager Sun commanded the big and small leaders under his command, arranged thunder dragons and horses to drive them to the official road one after another, while the guards of the caravan, under the leadership of the escort leader Pei Qishan, came to the front of the caravan and formed a formation to block the army that could appear at any time.
Roar, Roar--
Thunder Dragon made a thunderous cry at night, which made everyone's face change.
This sound will spread for dozens of miles, and will soon be heard by the front troops, leaving them less time!
"Quick, fast! Speed up!" Mr. Sun roared.
At this time, they are grabbing time with each other. Everyone's heart seems to be beating a drum, dongdongdong, suppressing their rapid footsteps.
After more than half an hour, finally, the last thunder dragon was also driven off the official road, not far from the cliff.
However, the army also slowly appeared in front of the mountain, with dark shadows, a string of endless, and I don't know how many people there are.
Moreover, the army was so solemn and tidy that there was no sound in the night, which made the hearts of the caravan sink down fiercely.
This is not a rebel. The rebels absolutely do not have such strict discipline! Moreover, no rebels will march at night! In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, the army of the army of the country!
It's just that even if you meet the officers and soldiers, there is no ease.
Many people in the caravan experienced the civil unrest more than 20 years ago. At that time, the officers and soldiers were no different from bandits. Seeing the caravan, the robbery was more fierce than the rebels!
The neat footsteps suddenly stopped, and the sound of countless horses' hoofs suddenly sounded in the dark, coming straight to the caravan, and in a blink of an eye, a large circle formed on the periphery of the caravan.
A voice echoed in the dark: "Which rebel in Wuzhou is in front of you? Report it! General Wuzhou led his troops to destroy you. Surrender quickly! Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"
The song is mixed in the crowd, and the army in the dark can be seen clearly.
There are about 10,000 sergeants and hundreds of cavalry. At this time, under the cover of the cavalry, the infantry behind them are slowly surrounding the location of the caravan. It seems that these people want to catch turtles in an urn.
"To this general, we are not a rebel, but a caravan that worships the fire gate. We are returning from the snow clan to the fire gate territory, and ask the general to accommodate..." Sun Xin's voice spread far away.
"The caravan? Bah, it's been a riot for more than half a year, and there are caravans walking outside? Who are you lying to? I think you must be rebels. Sign up quickly. Our generals don't kill unknown people under the sword!"
