Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 608

On the barren field, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the lonely grove was swaying in the wind and sand blown by the strong north wind. Lin Chuan and other hundreds of exhausted guards abandoned their foaming horses and plunged into the woods .

"Whoosh-"

The continuous fierce battle did not get enough rest, and Lin Chuan, who was wearing a heavy armor, was a little short of breath, and they ran towards the depths of the woods.

Compared with the open and boundless wilderness, this forest is the best barrier to stop the cavalry. Although the forest is only five or six miles away, for Lin Chuan and the others, this is their only shelter now.

"Ah—I can't run anymore..." A guard soldier sat on the ground weakly while running.

The rest of the guards were also panting and breathing heavily. The whole night of running and fighting had exhausted all the strength in their bodies. Now they were hungry and thirsty, and their legs were as heavy as lead. Can't stand it either.

With one hand on his hips, Lin Chuan supported the tree trunk with a bowl-thick mouth in the other, breathing heavily as he watched the sweating guards give the order to rest in place.

As soon as Lin Chuan's words fell, the exhausted guards immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing in the air greedily, they were so tired.

"Scout the centurion, send someone to scout the way—"

"The duty officer sets up the sentry—"

While observing the surrounding situation, Lin Chuan set up sentries. Now they are in a dangerous situation, and if they are not careful, they will be wiped out. Lin Chuan dare not be careless.

Although the scouts were exhausted, they stood up without saying a word and searched around the woods to prevent unknown dangers. The sentries on duty cheered up and immediately extended their vigilance outwards.

After making sure the surroundings were safe, Lin Chuan sat down with his back against the tree trunk. As soon as he relaxed, he felt extremely sore all over his body, and his throat was as dry as a fire.

"Young commander, drink water." A centurion handed the water bag that was about to dry out to Lin Chuan with both hands.

Lin Chuan's throat was extremely dry at the moment. Hearing the sound of water shaking in the water bag, he took the water bag gratefully, pulled out the cork, raised his head and took a sip. The cool and sweet water immediately made Lin Chuan feel his throat was extremely dry. Refreshing, moistening his dry throat.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to continue drinking, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva. He put down the water bag and saw that the guards were staring at the water bag in his hand, turning his Adam's apple and swallowing.

When Lin Chuan's eyes shifted to their shriveled water sacs, he suddenly understood that the big guys had already run out of water.

Lin Chuan returned the water bag to the centurion, "Give the rest of the water to the brothers."

Seeing Lin Chuan's resolute eyes, the centurion nodded and handed it to the No. 1 guard on the left: "One mouthful per person, pass it on."

The water sac was being passed around in the hands of the guards. Everyone took a sip carefully to prevent it from spilling out, and then passed it on to the next soldier. Although everyone was physically and mentally exhausted and in danger, an invisible force But it took root and sprouted in their bodies, making them stronger.

Soon after going out to explore the road, the scouts returned to their resting place with their bodies bent.

"Young commander, this forest is not big, and it will end in the past two miles or so." The scout centurion's face was serious, which meant that the possibility of them trying to escape through the forest was reduced to zero, because it was an isolated forest , as long as he walked out of the woods, he still had the possibility of being overtaken by the Hanhai cavalry.

The surrounding guards immediately became depressed and desperate after hearing the words of the scout centurion. Facing the wolves-like Hanhai cavalry, this forest cannot provide them with the slightest sense of security. As long as the Hanhai soldiers surround the forest, They will be trapped inside, and if they break through, they will also die in the pursuit of the vast sea cavalry. Negative emotions spread among the guards.

Lin Chuan could feel the despair and frustration. Now they are really in a desperate situation. Not only are they short of food and drinking water, but also countless chasing soldiers from the vast sea are outside the forest. As long as they go out, they will definitely die.

"Brothers, your wives and children are still waiting for you to go home and reunite in your hometown. We can't give up hope. Although there are many cavalry in the vast sea, as long as you obey my orders, I will bring you home!" Facing the guards The low mood of the soldiers, as the commander, Lin Chuan stepped forward in time to encourage the soldiers and help them rebuild their confidence.

Lin Chuan's words were full of confidence, and he could not see any despair at all. His tone was full of strong confidence, as if he could really bring out the desperate soldiers.

Thinking of his wife and children in his hometown, and seeing Lin Chuan's smiling, confident face, the desperate guards chose to believe in Lin Chuan, as long as they followed Lin Chuan, they would be able to go back alive.

"Young commander, just give an order, even if you die, I will help you!" A sergeant waved his fist and said courageously.

Some people immediately echoed: "Yes, I fought with Han Hai offal!"

Seeing that the guards rekindled their fighting spirit, Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the soldiers continue to fight, then they still have hope.

"Young Marshal, the people of Hanhai have entered the forest—" The sentinel came back to report to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, now it was the moment of life and death, they had to fight hard, he looked at the resolute soldiers and stretched out his arms and said: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!" The soldiers stretched out their arms to encourage each other.

Lin Chuan gathered several surviving officers together to assign tasks. Now that the soldiers have high morale, what Lin Chuan needs in the face of several times the enemy is the deployment of tactics. Often good tactics can withstand several times the enemy.

"Drive! Drive!" Countless Hanhai cavalrymen were galloping around the woods, trampling the ground with their iron hooves and rolling up a large amount of dust, and the periphery of the woods was in a mess.

At the place where Lin Chuan and the others abandoned their horses, more Hanhai cavalry gathered. Many cavalry had already dismounted and lined up in a skirmish line to search and advance into the woods under the urging of the officer.

"Search carefully! Keep your eyes open!" The Hanhai cavalry held their small round shields and pointed their lances more than one meter long to search the depths of the woods.

Behind the cavalrymen are groups of Hanhai soldiers holding sabers, they are gathered together and ready to fight at any time.

"General, this group of Nanchuan Army has been trapped by us in the woods, and this time they cannot escape with their wings—" Hanhai officer reported to the head of the Hanhai division, Baka.

The head of the division, Baka, stared at the woods and snorted coldly: "Tell the soldiers, kill a Nanchuan army, and you will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

Hearing Baka's words, the surrounding Hanhai soldiers immediately burst into smiles. Ten gold coins are not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family of three to spend for a year. They are all eager to try and go into the woods to kill the Nanchuan army. , get the reward.
