Chapter 322 Rooted

The hot air balloon began to descend slowly.

A Duo screamed in the basket, reminding everyone to be careful and take the landing point outside the camp.

After Gein's enemy retreated, the medical officer built a fire in the camp to boil water for the treatment of the wounded.And the surface of the hot air balloon is heavy lacquer, which is the easiest to catch fire.In case of a little spark, it took a lot of effort to slowly make the balloon, which is regarded as a treasure by countless teenagers, it will be scrapped.

At that moment, everyone gathered together laughing and joking, pulling the ropes together to pull them out.

This big guy seemed easy when it took off, but it was difficult to control when it fell.Dozens of people were dragging the thick ropes, as if they were being led so that they couldn't stand upright. From a distance, they looked like a huge centipede writhing on the ground.

When the balloon slowly fell to the ground, Hodor crawled out of the frame wiping sweat, and everyone stepped forward to pat him on the shoulders, chest or back.Zheng Rui was particularly hard-hitting. He slapped Ado's body with thumping noises, making him crumble, screaming in pain, and couldn't help grinning.

Everyone understands that just now, this young man from Bohai really saved everyone's lives.And the risk he took was no smaller than anyone else.

Because the savages were attacking from the outside, all the preparations that should be made when the hot air balloon took off were not properly done.The rope that should be tied to the rock was caught by several clerks and wrapped around their waists, and the fuel that Hoduo brought for the balloon was only a bag of coal...it wouldn't last long.

If there is a strong wind blowing during the time when the balloon is in the air, no matter whether the balloon floats to the forest or the sea, the only passenger is very dangerous.And if the balloon started to fall, but the wildlings didn't retreat, Hodor would probably fall directly into the siege of hundreds or thousands of enemies, and he might be chopped into a pulp in an instant.

Only this time he decided that after returning to Laizhou, he should at least give credit for his achievements.

Until dusk, the old man Hu who had retreated with the savages did not come back.Zheng Rui was a little worried, and proposed to return to the Hue camp in the north before it was dark before making plans.

But Li Yun decided to continue to set up camp here, and the lights should be brightly lit.

In the middle of the night, holding a torch made of medicinal herbs, he patrolled the battlefield.There was a bloody smell everywhere on the beach, and thousands of mosquitoes that were bigger than Hu Feng flew from nowhere, making a terrible sound of flapping their wings, like clouds of black clouds flying among the wild grass.

Most of the wounded wild Jurchens who were left behind were already dead at this time, only seven or eight with extremely vigorous vitality were still groaning faintly.

Li Yun went around twice more, picked out a few savages whose limbs were injured but seemed to be salvageable, and dragged them on the ground to a depression outside the camp.

When he first started to do it, the savages struggled violently and looked very frightened.

But there are also calm ones.

There was a man whose wrist had been cut off. He probably fainted before, but he just woke up now. He was chattering, trying his best to comfort his companion, and even managed to get up, staggeringly followed Li Yun, trying to Let Li Yun see the smile on his face.

Li Yun turned around and went back to the camp, and asked the medical officer who had been busy for a long time to give them simple treatment.

Although this fight was due to a misunderstanding, after all, several people died on our own side, and the killing spirit of the soldiers is still there.The medical officer was not very happy with this order, so he put medicine on them with a stern face, roughly bandaged them, turned around and left.

The soldiers in the camp took out iron pans and baked multigrain pancakes.A few soldiers jumped into the stream shirtless and caught fish, and they were discussing how to eat them.

Li Yun came back with two pancakes, broke each in half, and placed them beside those savages.

Not that he was stingy.When the Mongolian army threatened Zhongdu before, a pancake like this could be sold for [-] yuan, and a pancake represented the lives of a person or even several members of a family.

The savages in front of them probably had a similar life.

Although the land around Hesihanguan is fertile and produces a lot, the winter in the Northeast is really terrible. The annual wind, snow and cold wave are enough to kill many people.Li Yun could see that these savages were all physically strong, but they were obviously the result of overdrawing their vitality under the tempering of hard life, and they were completely different from the soldiers under Ding Haijun's command who were fed, clothed, and then went through hard training.

When Li Yun served in Northern Xinjiang, he saw with his own eyes that many originally strong and fierce soldiers weakened rapidly after the age of 30, and then various diseases suddenly broke out. Within three to five years, they changed from living people to walking dead. die.

These wild Jurchens in front of them are ten times and a hundred times more ignorant than the warriors in northern Xinjiang, and their living environment is worse than that in northern Xinjiang.Their struggles in the deep mountains are like wild animals. If they want to live to be 30 years old, they must be very lucky.

The savage with the broken arm was holding a pancake, and leaned over to thank him somewhat exaggeratedly.

In the night, his messy hair and beard half concealed his pale face, making him look like a ghost.

Li Yun waved to him and went back to the camp to rest.

During this day, everyone worked very hard, except for the soldiers on duty, the camp quickly fell into silence.

In the early morning of the next day, the sentinel reported that two of the wounded wildlings placed outside had died, and several others were missing.

At noon, the big dog in the camp started barking. The child got up and ran out with the big dog, but none of the sentinels stopped him.

It was the old man Hu who came back with dozens of people.

The child ran over and hugged him, laughing loudly.

The old man Hu washed his face and tied up his hair again. He looked refreshed and changed into a very worn but clean robe.

Most of the dozens of people who followed him were old, and just by their age, one could tell that they must be the leaders of the savages.There was a young man with a thick bandage on his arm, the man with the severed arm rescued by the medical officer.

Li Yun greeted him solemnly, and stood in front of those savage leaders.

He had no guards around him, but none of the wildlings dared offend.People in the front row pushed and shoved each other twice, and someone behind them dragged out a simple frame made of branches. On the frame were those Li Yun's subordinates who died in the forest yesterday.

The appearance of the corpse is naturally very tragic, but it can be seen that someone has tried to clean the corpse, the clothes have been stripped off, and they were put on again later, as well as the weapons and other belongings, which are placed on the frame.

Li Yun nodded, and waved for the soldiers to come up and clean up the corpses.

Hoduo also came up, and a few sharp-sighted savages recognized Hoduo and yelled a few words. Dozens of people prostrated themselves on the ground in fear and did not move.

A Duo was a little dazed.

His brain is really not working well, and now he only remembers that he lifted up the hot air balloon yesterday and sang a drama in Bohai language on the hot air balloon.

It's too late to take out the balloon at this moment, but it's okay to sing a few words.

So he cleared his throat and inhaled heavily.

"No need, no need." Li Yun persuaded: "Aduo, you can go with everyone and bring back the body of your comrade."

Hodor walked back resentfully.

Li Yun said loudly: "From today, we will set up camps and pastures here. If you are friends, you can come to work on the pastures. We will give him food and other good things. If you are enemies, then Continue to fight! The gods will watch us, if we die, we will demand a hundred of your lives to pay for it!"

The savages didn't seem to care about Li Yun's threat.On the contrary, they looked forward to the good things Li Yun said.So Li Yun asked the soldiers to carry some clothes and food out.

Compared with these savage tribes, Dinghai's supplies are much richer, and Li Yun is fully confident that he can quickly close the distance between the two sides.Then, starting with these savages, the distance with many tribes in the Northeast mainland can be shortened.

When the savage leaders raised their hands and cheered around the supplies, Li Yun asked Old Man Hu: "How about you, old man? What are your requirements?"

The old man sat comfortably on the ground, and pushed the child towards Li Yun: "I can stay here, but my grandson has to go to Shandong. He has to live a good life, and it is best to be able to study."

"no problem."
