The strongest soldier

It is painful to wait for death with unwillingness. It is even more painful to wait and not know when one will die. This kind of suffering of not being able to survive or die made Kuntai completely collapse. He felt that his blood was flowing more and more, dripping. It fell to the ground, and the slight sound was like the grin of death. Kuntai struggled desperately to make his blood flow faster. Any faster, so as to shorten the time of death.

Luo Zheng saw Kuntai's desire to die and guessed that Kuntai really didn't know Lan Xue's whereabouts. Instead of going up to stop him, he found a place to sit down and looked up at the sky through the leaves. A beam of sunlight shone in, squinting, Luo Zheng's face became sad, and he secretly thought: "Xue'er, where are you?" His mind was filled with Luo Zheng's figure, every smile and every frown, clearly visible.

Nearly ten thousand troops searched but found no news. Ahu, who was most likely to know the news about Lan Xue, was killed. Kuntai didn't know about it either. Lan Xue seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There was no one alive or dead body. In the dark, Luo Zheng Knowing that Lan Xue was definitely not dead and was waiting for her to rescue him, this kind of suffering was unbearable.

I don't know how long it took, but Luo Zheng felt someone pushing him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Shi Qingshan. He was startled and saw that Shi Qingshan was pointing at Kun Tai who was hanging on the tree. There was no sound anymore. Luo Zheng reacted and got up. He walked forward and came to Kuntai's side. He checked his nose with his hand and found that he was no longer alive. He touched the other person's body and it turned cold. The blood in the wound on his neck had stopped flowing.

"Dead." Shi Qingshan said.

"How long?" Luo Zheng asked.

"About an hour." Shi Qingshan responded.

Luo Zheng's eyes widened, and after thinking for a moment he said: "Let the body hang here. The surrounding area is mined. The pursuers are coming. They will definitely find a way to take it down after they find the body. A large number of pursuers have gathered around, so this is an opportunity."

"Understood!" Shi Qingshan was startled and then smiled. This time in the attack on Kuntai camp, the team lost five people and injured more than twenty people. Everyone was holding back their anger and waiting for revenge, so naturally they would not let it go. With such a good opportunity, Shi Qingshan immediately made plans.

Ten minutes later, the surrounding area was exhausted, and a bonfire was burned. Wet branches were placed on it, and a line of black smoke rose from the bonfire. With this line of black smoke, I believe that the pursuers will soon catch up here. Let's clean up. OK, we started marching again, but the pangolin fell behind the team. Seeing the sacrificed soldiers and the wounded being carried on stretchers, I felt guilty and wanted to go up to help, but I was afraid that it would affect everyone's speed.

Luo Zheng saw the pangolin behind the team, stopped and waited, and handed the team over to Shi Qingshan for command. Not long after, the pangolin walked up, looked at Luo Zheng and gave a wry smile. He didn't know what to say, and Luo Zheng, who was in an equally heavy mood, didn't know what to say. Knowing how to comfort him, he patted the pangolin on the shoulder and walked forward.

The feeling of losing a loved one can only be understood by those who have experienced it. Pangolin can feel Luo Zheng's inner pain. He wanted to say a few words of advice, but found that his mind was blank and he didn't know what to say at all, so he had no choice but to say nothing and followed Go up and follow Luo Zheng silently, not letting yourself fall back and become a drag.

After an hour of hurried marching, everyone heard a faint sound of thunder. The sun was bright in the sky. It was obviously not thunder. Everyone thought of the pursuers behind them, but they didn't expect them to arrive very quickly. The distance was only an hour away. Luo Zheng did not dare to stop and asked the team to speed up. If the speed is increased, there will definitely be no shortage of enemy pursuers. With everyone's condition, it's no problem to fight once or twice, but Luo Zheng doesn't want to see any more casualties. Because he has suffered so many casualties, Luo Zheng feels guilty.

The speed of the team increased a bit, and before we knew it, it was noon. Everyone stopped to rest on a mountain ridge, ate some dry food and water, and each found a place to relax and recover. The pangolin saw Luo Zheng's face was heavy, so he walked up. He said softly: "Are you thinking about her?"

"Yeah." Luo Zheng hummed softly.

The pangolin was surprised and knew some basic information. He thought about it and said softly: "I don't know how to advise you. I just want to remind you of two points. Your emotions have affected the team's status. When everyone sees you in such pain, they are more worried." It will affect the speed of marching. Secondly, I want to remind you that wherever you lose it, you can find it again. I don’t know if this is right or not. What a religious master said to me, I will give it to you now. hope it is of help to you."

"Where did you lose it and where can you find it?" Luo Zheng was startled, and suddenly he had some understanding. He nodded gratefully and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I know what to do. Can your body bear the stress of such a rapid march?" If not, let me ask the brothers to get a stretcher to carry you."

"No, I've caused you a lot of trouble. I still have some physical strength. Don't worry. I promise I won't drag you back. There is a situation I don't know whether I should talk about." The pangolin said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.

"Kuntai has nine Vajras under his command. After Ahu died, there are eight Vajras. The eight people are similar in appearance but different in spirit. In order to fight for power and gain, there is a lot of internal fighting. No one is convinced by anyone. Now that Kuntai is dead, I guess they will start a fight. Crazy pursuit, whoever kills us will be the boss." Pangolin whispered, as expected of an intelligence worker, he was very accurate in reading people's hearts.

Luo Zheng's expression changed and he began to think deeply. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "If this is really the case, we will be in great trouble. It seems that we need to think of countermeasures. Your reminder is very timely." As he said, Luo Zheng called out Lai Shi Qingshan and the team leaders of each team explained the analysis of the pangolin.

When everyone heard this, their faces became solemn. Normally, the pursuers would withdraw their troops after seeing Kuntai's body. They would fight as they should when they return. If killing everyone is the standard, then the intensity of the pursuit would be different. Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng looked at Shi Qingshan. Shi Qingshan thought for a while and said: "We must divide our troops and let the slower brothers take the wounded away first, leaving the fast ones behind. There don't have to be many people. Then we can find an opportunity to hit him." guy, and then retreat in the other direction to lure the pursuers away."

"What do you think?" Seeing that Shi Qingshan was thinking the same thing as him, Luo Zheng looked at the other captains.

Everyone nodded in agreement. There are laws on the battlefield. It is a law to sacrifice a small part to save the majority. It is also a law to use the most elite force to distract the enemy and cover the retreat of others. Everyone has no reason to object. One of them was injured. The captain said even more excitedly: "Brothers, I'm going to withdraw first. I'll leave it to you all. Let's go back and have a drink."

Seeing that no one objected, Luo Zheng handed over the division of troops to Shi Qingshan. He went aside and thought about what the pangolin had just said. Where did he lose it? The anxious mood actually calmed down a bit.
