The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 671 Major Casualties
In the evening, Commander Han finally caught up.He also brought nearly 200 people with him, and they were merged with those who arrived before. According to preliminary statistics, more than 100 elite soldiers and four captains were lost that night.

It turned out that Commander Han was not left behind due to lack of physical strength, but integrated most of the elite soldiers and rescued a lot of food and medicine.Although there were no marching tents, there were still a lot of bedding and luggage, as well as two big pots.Calculated in this way, in the end it was less than a day's journey, and there was always no problem with eating and resting.

Mo Li drank some hot water, ate something, and his face softened.He said to Feng Yao: "We were attacked continuously last night, it seems that the other party already has a plan, I'm afraid it's dangerous to stay too long. Why don't we rush to the capital in one go and make plans."

Feng Yao also understood what Mo Li meant, it seemed that the other party had been forbearing for a long time, and wanted to kill the grass before he returned to Beijing.But looking at the elite soldiers left today, almost all of them are wounded, running all the way and exhausted, if they continue, some people will not be able to hold on and fall on the road.

Feng Yao quickly said: "Let's rest for another two hours, then set off overnight and arrive in the capital tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if you walk tired, you won't even be able to run fast if you encounter an ambush."

Mo Li thought about it, and felt that Feng Yao's words were also reasonable.So he pulled himself together and called Le Zi and the two captains who arrived first to let them and himself explore the way forward.

Mo Li has a good impression of these three people.They were able to follow behind them all the way, proving that their skills and martial arts are first-rate.Moreover, after Moli fell just now, Lezi remained calm in the face of danger and comforted Feng Yao; he was also able to count the number of people and injuries immediately, which shows that this person is extremely thoughtful and a good general.

Especially now that Fengyao is employing people, such talents must be made good use of, and they must be entangled and reused.

Mo Li led people to explore the way ahead, while Commander Han reorganized the remaining [-] people.In addition, only one of the remaining six captains was seriously injured, so only four of the five captains were responsible for leading the team.Another team leader is directly responsible for the movement and placement of all wounded.

Feng Yao walked into the ranks of soldiers, comforted the seriously injured soldiers one by one, and even bandaged and applied medicine to some of them.In addition, he instructed the captain in charge of the wounded: "You don't have to go on the road with us, as long as you ensure that all the wounded you bring reach the capital safely. After arriving, you will meet up at the princess mansion, and someone will naturally arrange you well. healing."

All the wounded were tough guys, who had gone through fire and water for Princess Fengyao, but now even though they were seriously injured, they were unwilling to lag behind.Another person had both broken legs and was carried all the way by several close brothers.It is said that he almost committed suicide on the road, so as not to drag everyone down.

While bandaging him, Feng Yao sincerely said to the man: "Now Feng Yao has nothing to lose, you people who share life and death are my everything, and I don't want to give up any one of them. So your life is early now. It's not your own, but mine. It's not like your leg can't be cured, so why bother to kill yourself?"

Hearing Feng Yao's reassurance, the man lowered his head.Feng Yao couldn't see his expression now, but heard his low gasp.Presumably this iron-like man really touched his heart.

When he raised his head again, his face was already full of shame, and he said to Feng Yao: "After listening to Princess Feng Yao's words, I know that I was originally a short-sighted person, but now my loyalty is in the hands of the princess, this life really cannot be ended by myself. But don't worry, the princess, as long as the princess speaks, the villain will be smashed to pieces and will not hesitate."

Feng Yao nodded, showing a comforting smile.

At this moment, Commander Han suddenly said: "What is burnt? Who is cooking, why don't you look at the fire?"

Immediately, two soldiers interjected: "Commander, there are only two cauldrons left, and we just squatted by the side to take care of them. How could they be burnt? Smell, this bacon is delicious."

"Then where does this burnt smell come from?" Commander Han looked around for the source of the smell with a puzzled look on his face.But all the time, I only smelled its smell, but didn't see any fireworks.

Feng Yao also smelled a burnt smell in the air at this time, but that smell was not the pungent bitterness of burnt food, but a bit sweet?Feng Yao shuddered, immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, stepped back a few steps and said loudly: "Cover your mouth and nose, don't breathe, this smell is not right."

"Ah? Poisonous smoke?" Commander Han was taken aback, and then covered his mouth and nose like Feng Yao did.But at the same time, the two soldiers who had just started the fire fell to the ground with a "plop" and twitched.

In a short while, more than a dozen people twitched their limbs, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground.The rest of the people became alert when Feng Yao yelled, and retreated towards the windward place one after another.But soon several people fell to the ground.

"Retreat to the forest." Feng Yao saw a large forest ahead, which should be connected to the forest in the paddock.Then I thought that the first step is to retreat to a higher place, and the second is that the woods can cover up the poisonous smoke.Moreover, although the poisonous smoke has a wide range, it is outside after all, and it will be blown away quickly by the wind, so as long as they retreat farther away, the poisonous smoke will have no effect.

Commander Han was the first to smell the poisonous smoke, and he had already reacted, his eyes were red and his steps were staggering.But he still guarded Feng Yao's side, and told the soldiers who didn't seem to be poisoned so far not to mess up and stay on guard at all times.

When Feng Yao and the others retreated to the edge of the forest, there were already over a hundred people who had fallen.Feng Yao felt distressed and helpless, he gritted his teeth and had tears in his eyes, wishing he could rush into the capital now and compete with Yun Chen, it was better than watching everyone around him fall on the road one by one.

"Princess, you...you take care. I'm afraid Han can no longer be... loyal to the princess." Commander Han said something suddenly, and then he swayed and fell under a tree.

Feng Yao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he wanted to go over and help Commander Han up, encourage him again, at least let him go to a safe place and treat him properly.Unexpectedly, the two captains on the left and right grabbed Feng Yao and said earnestly: "Princess, let's go. Commander Han's wish is to escort the princess back to Beijing safely."

Feng Yao was pulled into the woods like this.After running for a while in a hurry, the smell of poisonous smoke was finally gone.Then everyone stopped to rest, and at the same time, they were planning how to inform Mo Li and the three captains who were going to explore the road.

Originally, Feng Yao planned to send people out of the woods to find Moli, not to let them go back to the camp, maybe they will be tricked again before the poisonous smoke clears.

Unexpectedly, before the dispatched people took any action, they heard Moli's voice from ahead: "Scatter quickly, don't gather in one place, there is an ambush."
