Chapter 6: End of Mountains and Waters (5)

Early the next morning, the firefighting team turned to the east direction with a stomach, intending to intercept a batch of new demons that had just landed.It may be that Fengsui transmitted the wrong information, or it may be that the shop soldiers sent by the postal station were intercepted. The battle that could have been easily resolved, but there was an unbelievable problem. More than a thousand people were still in the office before they were halfway through. A large group of monsters that shouldn't exist were encountered on the road.

At that time, the scouts on both sides were taken aback, and then they fought involuntarily.The scale of the battle expanded rapidly. First, the front soldiers were involved, and then the main column joined the battle. The rear leaders and even the heavy squads were not spared from the chaos.

The group of demons encountered by the firefighting team may be the guerrillas separated from the main force, or the remnants who escaped from the encirclement of the Zhenshu Army. They added up to less than 500, and half of them were wounded.However, it was such an incompetent enemy that caused the fire brigade to kill nine people and severely wound six people, more than the sum of previous battles.

In addition, due to the chaos of the marching column, Zhou Yanhong spent a full hour gathering the mules and reorganizing the team after the battle.Five miles around.You can see the smoke and dust raised by the carriages, and when more than a thousand people are busy on the road, they are almost ashamed, and even their saliva has turned into mud.

Of course Suo Zhongwu did not take care of himself.When fighting against the evil spirits, although he said that he had chopped off a one-eyed sea crocodile, he was immediately scratched by his own whip to his ears, leaving a bloody mouth open in his right earlobe.It is the first time since he came to the Eight Kingdoms of Henghai that he has played well in battle, and the injury is not the place, so that his neck is covered with blood, and his hands are slippery.

The fire brigade was a shame this time.When Jidu stayed in the whole team, he quarreled the Cangtou team fiercely and ordered the pros to "Keep your eyes open, follow me to get your face back!" However, it is not easy to do this.

On May 29th, the soldiers from the back building arrived at the landing site easily, but only found a few demon corpses whose cause of death was unknown.Zhou Yanhong then sent out five groups of scouts, all of which were fruitless.On May 30, the soldiers in the back building continued to search for the "landing monsters" in the intelligence. They first ran east to Jingjun Mountain, then turned west back to the beach, and went around Fengze County in a big circle, but only caught To a few groups of scattered corpse puppets, fewer than thirty heads were cut.

There was no gain for two consecutive days, which greatly affected the morale of the fire fighting team.On the night of May 30th, when they were camping, the soldiers from the back tower showed up for the first time, and their marching mileage dropped to forty miles that day.In the face of this situation, Suo Zhongwu once again made suggestions to Zhou Yanhong, hoping to go back to the Heavenly Court to find out the news, "by the way, I will also get some supplements for the brothers."

His physical strength and will are almost reaching the limit.After a few days of marching down, Suo Zhongwu picked countless blisters on his feet, and his legs were so heavy that he could hardly lift them up. If it weren't for the tangling of the leggings and the hot water to soak his feet every day, he might not be able to walk normally.As far as Suo Zhongwu saw, most of the firefighters were in this situation. Some people even had their shoulders worn out, so they could only wear a few more bandages to resist.

This time, after Jedu stayed, he carefully considered Suo Zhongwu's suggestion. Judging from the change in expression, he should have been really moved for a while.However, Zhou Yanhong tightened his lips in the end and made his face straight again."Another long time." Even though it was in his own private account, and both left and right were screened back, the voice was still suppressed very low after Ji Du stayed, and he almost whispered to Suo Zhongwu:

"Wait for a long time. Tomorrow morning, the firefighting team will go to Houyangdong to conduct reconnaissance and verify the information provided by the refugees. The one-way journey is only twelve miles away. At that time, if our army empties again, you will... invite the Heavenly Soldier Festival. Next, go and come back soon!"

Suo Zhongwu finally got the promise of the actual leader of the Eight Henghai countries.He took a deep breath and dragged his steps back to his bunk.Along the way, few brothers greeted him. The battalions and teams didn't even have the strength to set up a pot to boil water, bake some bait cubes and pot helmets on the stove, even if it was today's dinner.

That night, the barracks set up around Beitang Mountain snored literally.The Yingyuhous were particularly kind, blowing the light-out snail half an hour earlier than usual, and Dianmao the next day was also two quarters late.After Jidu stayed, he was also sympathetic to his subordinates. After the barracks were dismantled, the firefighting team waited for a long time until the last person left behind returned to the team. Then, according to the rules, the third drum was beaten and the camp officially started.

The marching column headed straight towards Houyangdong Village along the new road to Xiuguan.Although the place has the name "village", it is actually a mud stall, and many places maintain the original mangrove forest.According to Zhou Yanhong, the state government only started organizing immigration last year, and now it has moved a hundred households. Not to mention paying taxes on food, the work of burning wasteland has not been finished.

Yesterday afternoon, the refugees who came to the fire brigade were these people.They add up to a total of 85 households, which is exactly the same as the number of households in the resettlement village.They had become frightened birds at that time. After they joined the officers and soldiers, they immediately became crying children, howling women, young and strong people, and old people chattering endlessly, surrounding the sentry and shouting injustice.

Suo Zhongwu thought he did not lack sympathy, but he also had to admit that the performance of Houyangdong refugees was far worse than that of the breeding farm.They pushed dozens of wheelbarrows, and the cattle, horses, mules and other large animals were not pulled down. Every family brought out a lot of floating wealth, but the looseness of the team was comparable to chicken feathers; several li were not convinced by each other, regardless of the week. No one is willing to take responsibility for what questions Yanhong asks. It is a good hand to tear each other down, and it is a great time to put the hat on the accusation.

That kind of chattering scene is more lively than stocking ducks and geese.The time, place, and number of the monsters landing, the fire brigade wanted only these, but the refugees could come up with ten different opinions, and the reference value was almost zero.

This is the reason why the fire brigade did not let the refugees into the camp.In fact, there are only two pieces of information finally provided by the refugees:

On May 30, an unknown number (the smallest number is "thousands" and the largest is "several millions") demons landed on the beach, scared them to drag their families and ran away.In the rush, these people had only time to take away all the valuables, and they really couldn't spare two seconds to light the beacon smoke, and the fire brigade from the capital became the first regular army to receive news.

If the refugees are met by the Fengze County soil group, they will definitely rule the crimes of the chiefs.But the fire brigade was too lazy to intervene in the local military administration, and left with them with one eye closed.However, many people think that the refugees' claims are too nonsense, after Zhou Yanhong went up to Jiedu to stay, and down to the ordinary soldiers holding the reins.
