Chapter 300 Chapter 297: Empty Camp
Dusk soon came in a busy life.
A team moved forward in silence and soon arrived at the Quanrong position along Shanhaiguan. This team came to a pile of rocks in front of the Quanrong position. Gu Fan, the leader, suddenly jumped off his war horse, hid behind the pile of stones, and ordered the entire army to hide.
Situ Mengming and Xie Yuxiang came to Gu Fan and said, "Little Marquis, there should be the *** line of the Quanrong Army in front of him."
"I just don't know how many troops there are..." Gu Fan whispered: "If you rush in rashly, you will definitely suffer a lot of losses..."
"Little Marquis, are we still attacking at night?" Xie Yuxiang couldn't help asking.
"No..." Gu Fan stopped him and said, "We have been fighting against the Quanrong in the recent night attacks, so how can we be unprepared for it? Launching a night attack at this time is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
"What should I do?" Situ Mengming and Xie Yuxiang looked at each other for a moment, and they didn't seem to know what to do.
Gu Fan took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, but his brows suddenly frowned.
"Little Marquis, what's wrong?" Xie Yuxiang couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Fan suddenly frowning.
Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes and said to Xie Yuxiang and Situ Mengming: "There is an empty camp ahead!"
"How is that possible?" Xie Yuxiang and Situ Mengming exclaimed at the same time.
After Gu Fan practiced the "Secret Method of the Demon Sect taught by Ye Xuanji, the most obvious thing to strengthen was his perception, so even Situ Mengming, who was a god-level, could not sense the reality of the opposite camp, but Gu Fan could sense it. "Mr. Xie, if you don't believe it, you can see if the barracks are empty..."
"Can it be an ambush in the empty camp?" Situ Mengming said with some concern.
Gu Fan shook his head and said, "In the radius of five miles, I didn't feel the breath of a warrior. This must be an empty camp."
"Since the Quanrong Army left a *** line in front of Shanhaiguan, it was to block our army's way back, why did it leave an empty camp?" Situ Mengming asked in confusion.
Xie Yuxiang also interrupted and said, "Is it because the supply cannot keep up?"
"Impossible. The supply on the front line has nothing to do with the Quanrong camp." Situ Mengming also had a period of time in northern Xinjiang and knew that the supply on the front line and rear of the Quanrong army was separated, which ensured that the front line of the Quanrong army had sufficient mobility to carry out mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. The front line of the Quanrong army was best at raising warfare, so the reason for insufficient supply was impossible to retreat in front of the Quanrong army.
"Don't worry about this, let's go and have a look first." Gu Fan straightened his body, stepped onto the war horse, and rode his horse towards the Quanrong Camp.
"Little Marquis... don't be impulsive!" Xie Yuxiang was shocked when he saw Gu Fan flying on his horse and running towards the direction of the Quanrong Camp. He hurriedly chased after him. Seeing this, Situ Mengming stood up, jumped to the horse, followed with a horse's belly, and then the entire team followed one after another.
Gu Fan took the lead and walked through the antlers and fences set up in front of the camp and entered the Quanrong Army's camp. At this time, dusk had just arrived, and there were no torches in the entire camp, and the atmosphere seemed strange and gloomy.
"Little Marquis, this is really an empty camp!" Xie Yuxiang looked at the surroundings and said in surprise: "And look, the camp is intact and the tents are still there. Why did these people leave?"
Situ Mengming suddenly pointed to a place in the camp and shouted, "Little Marquis, look!" Gu Fan looked in the sound and saw bags of grain and forage in the camp. Gu Fan looked at it and found that there were at least three hundred bags, and he couldn't help but say, "When the Quanrong Army left, he didn't take away the food and grass. How could it be possible?"
Situ Mengming frowned and said, "The Quanrong Army has an extremely shortage of food and grass. This should be a very important strategic material. There are tents. The team with poor conditions requires more than a dozen soldiers to live in a tent. There are so many tents and so many food and grass here, and they can be discarded directly... It must be weird!"
Gu Fan also heard that the Quanrong Army had tight food and supplies, and the tent was also scarce in wartime supplies. So much was left here, which was equivalent to giving it to Yan Tianjun directly. It was so strange.
"Little Marquis... Could it be... there is a fraud on the food and grass?" Wu Xiangce immediately stepped forward and said to Gu Fan: "Can it be a trap?"
Gu Fan frowned slightly and signaled an imperial guard next to him to go and take a look.
The imperial guard got off his horse, walked to the pile of food and grass, and stabbed it into the haystack with his long sword, as if he had stabbed something. When he pulled out the sword, there was blood on it! Just as the warrior was feeling incredible, he saw a hand hanging down from the haystack. The blood on it had solidified to purple. It was obvious that it had been dead for a long time. He stretched out his long sword and opened the haystack with a "swoosh".
"Ah..." The Imperial Guard suddenly screamed loudly, threw away the sword in his hand, stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground. The Imperial Guardians were the most elite troops of the Beidou Dynasty. It is normal to die on the battlefield. It can make them feel frightened. What a terrible scene it would be? Hearing the sound, Gu Fan hurriedly dismounted and rushed over. He saw that the stack of uncovered haystacks were all dead, and the death was extremely miserable. It could not be said that those were corpses, but limbs!
If Gu Fan saw the corpses of the Yantian army soldiers of the Beidou Dynasty in the Quanrong camp, he might not be surprised. At most, he would mourn them. After all, there was no eyebrow on the battlefield, and Quanrong was not a country of etiquette, so it was common to abuse and kill prisoners. But judging from the outfits of the corpse, they were all wearing leather armor, and their foreheads were slightly sunken. It was the standard face of the Quanrong people. These were actually Quanrong soldiers!
Several bold imperial guards jumped off the horse and used their swords to split the other haystacks. Each haystack was wrapped with the corpses of the Quanrong soldiers, and they were all extremely miserable. The broken limbs and arms were wrapped together, and some were already bonded by solidified blood, which was difficult to separate. There were at least twenty corpses in each haystack, and there were more than two thousand Quanrong soldiers in these hundreds of haystacks!
Fortunately, the northern border is cold and these corpses don’t seem to be placed for a long time, so they did not rot. Otherwise, the entire camp would really be foul.
Wrap the corpse in a haystack, obviously trying to cover up the blood odor of the corpse, otherwise it would be bad if it attracted a large number of predators such as snow wolf.
Then, some imperial soldiers took out the food bags and bags, and there were broken limbs and arms inside. Some imperial soldiers couldn't stand such a scene and vomited it down.
Seeing this, Xie Yuxiang hurriedly ordered: "Come together and burn these corpses! Burn them all!" He wanted to order the corpses to be burned just now. After all, it was really strange and terrible to be with so many corpses in such a strange atmosphere.
Why do these Quanrong soldiers die suddenly? It is really easy to associate them with mountain demons or demons. Moreover, large-scale and concentrated abnormal deaths are really a rare situation on the battlefield.
"No!" Gu Fan stopped loudly, "This is the camp of the Quanrong Army. Once we ignite the fire, the fire will definitely be very bright. If other Quanrong troops are alarmed to gather here, we will inevitably have a fierce battle!"
"Then...what do?" Xie Yuxiang swallowed the words back as soon as he reached his mouth. "It's not, we can't spend the night with so many corpses!" Don't say anything, even if you think about it, Xie Yuxiang would feel creepy.
Gu Fan walked forward a few steps and felt that the soil under his feet was filled with blood and was extremely sticky. He bent down, pinched a handful of soil on the ground with his hands, stood up, and let go of his hands. There were traces of blood marks on his hands, which showed how much blood was flowing into the soil here.
Why is there only blood here, and everything is normal in other places? What does it mean when blood is concentrated here? Gu Fan asked himself in his heart.
It seemed that a flash of inspiration, Gu Fan suddenly realized: "These people were not guarded against others at all, and were concentrated here to kill!"
"Little Marquis, what did you find?" Situ Mengming saw Gu Fan standing in front of the corpse and was reluctant to speak, so he couldn't help but walk forward and ask.
"I think I know who made the move..." Gu Fan sneered, turned around and walked towards his team.
"Who is it?" Situ Mengming saw that Gu Fan was already in his heart, but he was still confused. He had been in the northern border for a long time and knew that there was a demon mountain monster, so even he thought about it unconsciously.
"They provoked someone they shouldn't be provoked, and only this person would do such a ruthless move!" Gu Fan said coldly: "I can only blame them for taking the blame for themselves, leading the wolf into the house, and trying to make a fuck with the tiger!"
"Little Marquis!" Xie Yuxiang and Wu Xiang came up to meet him. Xie Yuxiang asked, "Little Marquis, what should we do below?"
Wu Xiang said to Gu Fan with a wry smile: "Commander Gu, the soldiers have a lot of opinions on spending the night in this camp, and the atmosphere here is strange. What if the camp is bombed... what should I do?"
In the army, "blasting the camp" is a very terrifying thing. The soldiers have been wandering on the line of life and death for a long time and have accumulated a lot of negative emotions: fear, hatred, and anger. They are under particularly high pressure. Due to being restricted by strict discipline, these pressures cannot be vented. If they accumulate to a certain extent, they will suddenly explode.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers suddenly burst into tears in their dreams and made terrifying roars, as if they were crazy, and even drew their swords to kill their companions around them. What's even more terrifying is that people around them were suddenly awakened. Out of panic and ignorance, such crazy actions would be infected. When exaggerated, a sudden roar in the middle of the night may cause the entire army to collapse.
Such a situation exists even among the most elite imperial guards of the Beidou Dynasty. The more you struggle back from the line of life and death, the higher the possibility of a bombing. It can be said that in one of such a strange atmosphere, the possibility of a bombing is very high!
Gu Fan nodded and said to Wu Xiang: "I know what you mean, Wu Xiang, go and ask the soldiers..."
"Hmm?" Wu Xiang raised his head and looked at Gu Fan.
"It's about two hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan. Do you ask them if they are willing to spend a night here or to rush back to Shanhaiguan overnight!" Gu Fan said to Wu Xiang, "I am willing to follow everyone's opinions and make a decision."
In order to wait for Wu Xiang to ask questions, Gu Fan heard more than 15,000 imperial guards answered almost in unison: "Commander Gu, let's hurry up!"
"Little Marquis, I don't want to stay in this place for a night if I die!"
"That's right, it's so fucking scary." A soldier teased loudly in a Tianjing accent.
"I have also walked through the mountains of corpses and blood, but today I really don't have the mood to sleep with the corpse!" Another soldier's words made everyone laugh. The depression and depression atmosphere just now suddenly eased a lot.
Gu Fan nodded and smiled, "Okay, then we'll go back to Shanhaiguan at night! When we arrive at Shanhaiguan, we all have a good meal, drink a large jar of wine, and take a comfortable bath!"
Having said that, the imperial guards from Yunyi tribe cheered together, as if they had returned to Shanhaiguan.
"Let's go!" Gu Fan waved his hand and walked out of the gate first. The soldiers of Yunyi tribe behind him responded with a hundred responses and rushed towards Gu Fan.
Wu Xiang laughed loudly and said, "The person who fell in the last place must be the horse for everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers of Yunyi tribe unconsciously accelerated the marching. A long dragon of more than 15,000 people disappeared into the darkness quickly and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.
At this moment, a figure stood on the top of the highest tent in the Quanrong Camp. Ye Feng rolled his robe and made a sound. The figure looked at the back of Gu Fan and others leaving, smiled coldly, then stretched out his hand, a seiko hummingbird wandered in the night sky for a while, and then flew rapidly towards the direction of Tianjing.
How can people in Tianjing City, a prosperous hometown, and in prosperous times know the miserable pain of war on the frontier?
In the residence of the Beisu Hou, in the secret room where Dan Tai Ruoxie was in seclusion, the door of the secret room was slowly pushed open. A servant wrapped in black cloth walked in and put a seductive hummingbird on the coffee table in fear and panic. Then he bent and quickly retreated.
In front of the coffee table was an incense burner, with a faint purple mist inside, as if it made the entire secret room extremely mysterious. At this moment, the space behind the coffee table suddenly torn apart. In the black void, a figure gradually became clear and gradually became real. It was Dan Tai Ruoxie, who was wearing a purple robe and covered with hair. At this time, his clothes were all over his body, as if he had experienced a fierce battle and was sweating profusely.
You should know that the power of the Xingjie warrior comes from the vast star field, which is almost infinite. What a terrible opponent that can make him feel tired.
Dan Tai Ruoxie slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "The illusion of void is still too strong. The seventh barrier is hard to break through. What a pity. Let's try again next time!" Then he took a few deep breaths, and his pale face recovered a lot. Then he raised his body, picked up the exquisite hummingbird on the table with his hand, broke it up, and took out a note, which read: "The matter has been done, the letter has been destroyed, and 2,500 Quanrong people were buried with Master Ye."
