Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 346 Difficulties and dangers
This time the guard Feng An went back to Gaozhou, but Lin Sen and his thousand elite soldiers were tormented miserably. They walked for several months on the road. The distance was already very far, almost 4000 miles. , coupled with the difficult road, and various non-combat attrition, it can be said that it has gone through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.

If Lin Sen hadn't taken the lead everywhere, I'm afraid there would be complaints among the team, and it would be too difficult to leave.

It's better in Jiangbei, where most of the land is flat, and the speed of riding a horse is still guaranteed.

But after crossing the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and entering the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not the same. From time to time, it will be baptized by continuous rain, and the road becomes so slippery and muddy, with many potholes.

He even encountered several mudslides. If he hadn't discovered the bad omen early, even Lin Sen would have been buried in it.

No matter how high your skills are, you will be blind in front of the power of nature. Apart from experience and vigilance, what you can count on depends more on luck.

Even though the large troops hid there, there were still a few unlucky soldiers who were buried in it, and it seemed that they were gone, and they couldn't be dug out.

It wasn't until I really entered the Lingnan territory that I realized what it means to be unable to move an inch.

Because of miasma and unacceptable conditions, diarrhea has become commonplace for the entire team.

If Lin Sen hadn't known that he might face such a situation, he would have prepared the corresponding medicines and brought them with him, and he would supplement some when he passed through various state capitals, and sometimes he would use local materials.

After all, his level of distinguishing between medicines and medicinal properties is now unparalleled in the world. Even Sun Simiao is willing to bow down. This prevents these environmental factors, which are the most deadly and most likely to cause large-scale attrition, from really exerting their power.

It was also because of this that Lin Sen was accepted and even revered from the bottom of his heart by everyone in the team.

He has almost saved the lives of everyone in the team. Even Feng An's subordinates, there are many who have received Lin Sen's favor, and the subordinates will naturally unite by his side.

But these are not the only things that can kill people here in Lingnan. Even if the problem of acclimatization is temporarily overcome, there are still many enthusiastic local creatures who have sent their own welcome.

They have seen a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts, poisonous insects and leeches.

The key is that these things are very hidden, and when they are found, someone has already been tricked.There are dozens of people who died or were disabled in the team.

Although Lin Sen also prepared medicines to repel snakes and insects, because of the rain and the sweat caused by the humid weather, it is always easy to wash away the smell of these medicines. If they are not replenished in time, they will definitely not be effective Protect them now.

I can't stand it because there are those poisonous things that don't play cards according to common sense, jumping from the tree to attack, and directly biting the neck.

It’s really hard to find time to treat someone with severe toxicity.Those who can find the bite in time and make up their minds to cut off their hands and feet to save their lives are considered lucky.

After entering the range of Lingnan, the horses they rode seldom functioned anymore, and most of the time they could only be led.

The woods are too dense, and most of these fierce soldiers are tall, and they are really riding on horses, and they have to be blown away by branches after walking a few steps.

Therefore, they are basically used to carry military supplies. Dry food and clean water are still essential. Even if supplies are provided every time they go to a state capital, there is a lot of consumption in the middle.

This is due to the fact that before entering Lingnan, he wisely abandoned such a burden as a carriage.

In fact, after entering the south of the Yangtze River, soldiers were often needed to carry the carriages out of the pits.If it weren't for the existence of humanoid cranes like Brother Xiong, I'm afraid the carriage would have been abandoned on the road many times.

However, the horses in the north obviously couldn't adapt to the environment in the south of the Five Ridges, and many died of illness along the way. Even though all the horses were covered with self-made mosquito repellent clothing, some of them were directly bitten by the local mosquitoes. died.

The most disgusting one was one of the soldiers, who was eaten alive by leeches together with his horse. In the end, one of his own people gave him an arrow, which freed him. Burned and buried with him.

But the tragic way of death still lingers in everyone's mind, making all the soldiers depressed for a while.

Moreover, it is probably limited by the population in the south and the cruel natural environment. Large areas of mountains and forests have not yet been developed, and the dangers buried in the wilderness are not only various poisons, but also a lot of beasts of various colors. what.

Let alone lions, tigers, leopards, wolves or jackals, there are countless people who come to attack in the middle of the night.What surprised Lin Sen and the others most was the crocodile.

Lin Sen and his soldiers, who were born in the north, had never seen such a thing alive before.

Even if Lin Sen was at Lancome, he had seen a lot of crocodile skin things, but those dead things would not bite people. On the contrary, they brought Lin Sen a lot of money, but seeing a live crocodile really made him feel so much better. It is not so beautiful.

A team of soldiers managed to find a source of water that looked relatively clean. They wanted to add some water. Even if people couldn’t drink it directly, it would be good to let the horses drink a few sips. It’s not just people who are prone to dry mouth. The war horses started to walk, and they were obviously sweating much more than before.

But a few pieces of what looked like driftwood jumped out before they were completely standing by the river, and a big guy directly clamped the horse's stomach.

After the terrifying bite force came to the fore, there was a death roll, which directly took away half of the horse's body.

The soldier next to him was unlucky, and his thigh fell into the mouth of another crocodile. Under the tumbling death, even the thigh of a bison couldn't hold it, let alone a human being, and he only had time to exclaim. The thick thighs are gone.

The gushing blood made the crocodiles behind them even more excited, and several of them rushed to the shore, dragged the soldier into the water, and disappeared without a trace with screams all the way.

A laggard crocodile failed to bite, but instead bit the paw of the same kind next to it. It was a habit to roll over to death, pulling the crocodile's leg off, and swallowed it without hesitation.

It took the unlucky crocodile a long time to realize that its claws were gone, moved to the side, and continued to devour the wreckage of the horse indifferently.

After Lin Sen and the others rushed over when they heard the cry, they picked up the armor-piercing cone without saying a word, and nailed all the crocodiles they could see to death there.

It is difficult for ordinary arrow branches to penetrate their thick armor-like skin, unlike the armor-piercing cone that directly pierces them.

And there was another bloody scene in the water, probably stimulated by the blood, those crocodiles that were killed directly became the food that other crocodiles scrambled to grab, that is, within half a minute, they were eaten by their own kind Yes, the scene looked really scary.

Before they set their sights on the dead fellow on the shore, the man-bear brothers got Lin Sen's signal and directly dragged the big fellow to a further place, cut open its stomach, and confirmed that it only ate After eating some horse meat, he simply carried the big crocodile back to the temporary camp.

Lin Sen has been famous for the delicacy of this crocodile for a long time, but in his previous life, even if it was a large-scale farmed one, if you want to eat it, you can’t even see it without tens of thousands of dollars. Lin Sen must be I had no chance to taste it.Now it's time to feel its taste, and it can be regarded as revenge for that unfortunate soldier.

Lin Sen cooked the crocodile dishes himself, and tried it with Feng An, and found that it was indeed as delicious as the rumors said, and the soldiers also got some of it to improve their food.

When encountering a suitable target in the future, the soldiers not only no longer feared, but often hunted and killed them for extra meals.

Of course, the crocodile skin was not wasted. It was cut off as completely as possible, and after a simple treatment, it became Lin Sen's trophy. It would be good to make leather goods later.

Just such a difficult journey through the mountains and rivers, with joy in the bitterness, finally arrived at Gaozhou, Feng An's old nest.

　Finally, the code is finished, and my brain will feel dizzy for a while, and I feel like blood is drilling into my head. It seems that the possibility of temporary high blood pressure is higher. Go to bed, good night everyone.I still have to go to work tomorrow morning, and there will be a supervisory inspection soon, and there is still work to do.Oh, by the way, this chapter is 2600 words full of sincerity. The author is not easy. I ask for all support and comfort...
