Chapter 23: What a terrible word

His body was tense and slowly sank, allowing the dead leaves and rotten soil to bury his body. After a while, there was no trace of anyone in this dense forest. Qin Feng held his iron knife and quietly hid in this thousand-year-old forest that no one had arrived in countless years.

The rustling footsteps sounded, passing by where he was hiding, for about a stick of incense, and the sound finally disappeared completely. I suppressed my urgent mood and waited for a cup of tea before Qin Feng crawled out of the ground. His face became heavier and heavier.

This was the fifth day he left the death camp. He did not meet a soldier from the western border army of Great Chu. However, since yesterday, he found teams of Western Qin troops rushing towards Jingjingguan.

Including today's group, it is the eighth group in two days, with a total number exceeding 20,000 people. These Western Qin troops are in order and are disciplined during the march. Even the voices of speech are extremely unheard. Occasionally, one or two voices are heard, and most of them are officers who are issuing orders. This is not the border army of Qin, but must be the Thunder Army from Yongdu.

The Qin border army did not have such rigorous discipline and style.

He had not seen his own troops, and there was not even one defeated army. How far would it take to fight this battle to even one defeated army? In the army, the so-called complete annihilation, this would never happen! Qin Feng could not believe that everything he encountered was true, but the reality was just in front of him. He did not encounter the expected army of the Great Chu, even if it was a defeated army or a deserter, but he found that the Qin army was heading towards Jingjingguan one after another.

Or, Zuo Shuai's army was just cut off from the retreat route by the Thunder Army. It was not so easy to completely eliminate a tens of thousands of troops. Zuo Shuai and the others may just be surrounded and are struggling to support them, so there were no deserters or defeated soldiers. With the hope that Qin Feng continued to run forward carefully.

Now he must be careful again and again. Obviously, this area has been controlled by the Qin people.

At midnight on the sixth day, Qin Feng arrived at the Yixian Gorge. Here, he finally saw the army of Da Chu, but he was not a living person.

In the long canyon, the bodies of the Chu army were lying on the ground, layer by layer, and nowhere to be seen. It is obvious that the Chu army had fought fiercely with the Western Qin army here. They wanted to break through the first line of gorge and open up the road to retreat, but they failed. The Western Qin Thunder Army, who are now heading to Jingjing Pass, must have set out after blocking the Chu army here.

With his hands trembling slightly, Qin Feng walked into the canyon, and a broken military flag fluttered in the wind. Seeing the flag, Qin Feng couldn't help but tremble. He kicked his feet and came under the flag like the wind. This was the military flag of Jinglei Camp, and the captain of Jinglei Camp was the wolf teeth that walked out of the suicide camp.

Under the military flag, hundreds of corpses fell down in a ring shape, and the middle ones were opened. Qin Feng suddenly saw the remains of wolf teeth. In front of his chest, a hole as thick as a wine glass penetrated straight from his chest and shot him to death.

Seeing Langya's eyes dying with eyes closed, Qin Feng lowered his head sadly. Langya did not die in the death camp, but died worthless in such an inexplicable battle.

A huge noise came from afar. Qin Feng suddenly looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came, but his body did not hesitate at all. Between a few leaps, he was already climbing along the cliff on one side, climbing up the protruding rocks and vines growing between the stones, small trees and monkeys, until he found a dense group of weeds and covered his body. He stopped, squatting in the weeds, and looked into the canyon.

About a thousand Qin soldiers were rushing into the valley cheering. This was the Qin border army he was familiar with. They were dressed ragged and pale and thin. Looking at the bodies of countless Chu soldiers falling in the canyon, they cheered and rushed in. They began their looting.

Armor, clothes, even headscarves, footcloths and other things were not spared. Under their skillful techniques, the bodies of the Chu army in the canyon turned into naked corpses in a very short time, exposed naked in broad daylight. The Qin border troops, which were originally beggars, were transformed. If Qin Feng had not witnessed all this with his own eyes, he would have believed that this was a great Chu army.

With his hands tightly clamping the rocks, Qin Feng tried his best to suppress his anger. He could only endure and remain silent, and could not attack for the bodies of these comrades. Even if his martial arts skills were higher, he could not be the opponent of thousands of Western Qin soldiers.

The robbery time was the most painful torment for Qin Feng. He did not know the rest of the Thunder Camp except Wolf Teeth, but these people can be said to be his comrades-in-arms. Over the years, they have lived and fought in this mountain range together, but now, he can only watch their bodies be humiliated.

The soldiers in the canyon took away the flag of Jinglei Camp, and then piled up the naked corpses. Soon, countless firewood was cut down and piled up on these corpses. A smog of smoke rose up, and a raging fire ignited in the canyon. Soon, the smoke and the odor of burning filled the entire canyon. Qin Feng grew from the grass, bowed to the body of the burning comrades in the valley, and climbed towards the top of the canyon.

Standing on the top of the mountain, he clearly saw that there were at least ten smoke pillars that soared into the blue sky within a radius of dozens of miles. After seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Feng knew very well what these smoke pillars meant. Each smoke pillar represented the demise of at least one battle camp of the Chu army.

It's really over! Qin Feng sat down dejectedly. He no longer had the strength to move forward. He couldn't bear to see the scene he had just seen. Wolf Tooth and Leopard were all dead. Now only Zhang Xiaomao was left behind when he walked out of the death camp. He felt sorry for Zhang Xiaomao at the beginning, but unexpectedly, he was the one with the best luck. If Zhang Xiaomao had no such thing, today, in this Shura field, the person he was familiar with would fall on this land.

Lying like a dead person, he watched the sun gradually set westward, and the moon slowly climbed into the sky. The army of tens of thousands was buried in the mountains because the imperial court temporarily changed its plan. He smiled bitterly. Without this army on the western border of Da Chu, it had undoubtedly penetrated. The western defense line that Zuo Shuai had built seven or eight years was gone. With the remaining suicide camp and the army in Nanyang City, it was impossible to defend Nanyang County at all. If the Qin army wanted to take Nanyang County, it would not be a problem.

Maybe I have to think about my own way out and the Death Camp. Without the Western Frontier Army and without the Zuo Shuai, the Death Camp may not have the necessity to exist, and there will be no one more person who will tolerate himself.

When I thought of Zuo Shuai, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. He was a good general. Although he was a little more utilitarian, who would be exceptional in the officialdom? Even if he was not practicing martial arts too strange, he might die at any time. Don't he want to be famous in history and achieve success?

Amidst his random thoughts, Qin Feng actually fell asleep slowly. In the past few days, his inner fatigue and fatigue of rushing on the road had already put his physical strength and mind on the verge of collapse. At this time, he was sure that the western border army had been destroyed and he could not stand it all at once.

This time I slept until the moon passed and I woke up.

It was not that he woke up naturally when he fell asleep, but that he was awakened. Even if he had mixed his energy, the alertness and sixth sense he had developed through his long-term battlefield career still made Qin Feng awakened by footsteps.

He suddenly turned over and shrank his body after a big tree, like a snake. Qin Feng climbed along the tree pole and instantly climbed above the canopy.

There were five people coming, all of them were the border troops of the Qin army. Judging from the steps and expressions of these people, they were all good at martial arts. The leader, and judging from the outfits, they should be a deputy lieutenant of the Qin border troops.

"Person Deng, after this battle, we will make a big move." These Qin soldiers looked extremely relaxed. "Go to Nanyang County for a while. At least we don't have to worry about having a bad life this year. We haven't been to Nanyang County for two years. Now, those Chu pigs must have grown fat and big ears. It's a good time to harvest!"

"That's right, I just don't know if we will take Nanyang County directly this time. According to my opinion, we should take Nanyang County directly. The western border troops of Chu State were completely destroyed this time. There are three or two big cats and kittens left in Nanyang County. If we don't take them at this time, when will we wait?" Another person said.

The head captain Deng said, "Whether to take Nanyang County or not, this is not something we should care about. The superiors have their own opinions. Don't care about it, just do your own things well. We are here to search for the remaining Chu army. Everyone is cheering up. The Chu army who can escape must be good players. Don't overturn the ship in the gutter at that time."

"Where are there any escapes? We generals are too careful, right?" One person smiled and said, "We have been wandering around all day, but we didn't even meet a single one."

"We can do what the general ordered, so where did so much nonsense come from?" Captain Deng scolded.

"Captain Commander, don't be angry. The Princess Zhaohua who came to Chu this time was also in the army. Is that a great beauty from Chu? She has a high status. I heard that Li Zhi and Marshal Li's order was to capture her alive. The captain Lu Ziguang, did we know that our Marshal Li took this beauty?"

"It shouldn't be taken!" Captain Deng did not scold his subordinates this time, but said with a smile: "This beauty is said to be a tricky guy. After the army surrounded her, she did not hear the news of catching her. I heard that Li Dashui chased us and sent us out, which was also a patrol and guard. Princess Zhaohua's identity is extraordinary. If she could hold her and negotiate with Chu, there would be a big bargaining chip."

"Captain, let's talk. Your uncle is a big shot. There must be insider news. Princess Zhaohua also used Mariser Li to take action?"

"Princess Zhaohua himself is a good martial arts master, and everyone around him is very good at it. Moreover, Zuo Lixing is a master-level figure. It is easy to destroy their army, but it is difficult to capture these people alive. It is really difficult for Marishal Li to hold them if he doesn't take action. When I came out, I heard from my uncle that Zuo Lixing protected Princess Zhaohua and broke through. Marishal Li took people to chase him in person."

"Military Li is naturally able to take action."

"That's of course. Maybe when we go back, we will see that delicate beauty."

Everyone burst into laughter.

In the tree canopy, Qin Feng was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that the army was indeed finished. He was happy that Zuo Shuai and Princess Zhaohua were still alive. His body slowly slid down the tree pole. He decided to deal with these guys, took Captain Deng, and asked clearly.
Chapter completed!
