Chapter 142: Divide the troops to break through (Subscribe)

A land of mountains and forests.

There are dense grass and tall trees everywhere.

At this time, Lu Yuan was back on the stretcher.

He received a heavy blow from the Great God of War, but apart from some throbbing in his chest, he was not actually injured.

However, when it rolled down the steep slope, there were many trees and stones, which left many fine scratches on its body.

But out of concern for the White Snake King, he called the military doctor to wrap him with several more layers of white cloth.

With the insistence of Zhou An, Xu Changqing and others, Lu Yuan was put on the stretcher again.

It’s a long journey to Bazhou.

But fortunately, the route we chose was full of mountains and trees, and the terrain became higher as we went forward.

Today, these more than 20,000 Tianxing troops are hiding in the mountains and forests, making it extremely difficult for officers and soldiers to track them down.

Even if they were tracked down, it might not be possible to quickly gather troops to surround them in these places with complex terrain.

Therefore, they should be safe before leaving this mountainous highland.

The Tianxing Army was much more relaxed at this time.

It was fine some time ago.

They traveled during the day and rested at night, and occasionally they could hunt a few wild boars and elk in the mountains to replenish the army's rations.

But this trip is to the northwest.

Now, it is the year of snow disaster, and it coincides with this harsh winter season.

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

The further north you go, the more mountains you see and the higher the altitude.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge.

After walking for more than twenty days, light snow began to fall from the sky.

The soldiers of the Tianxing Army were besieged by the imperial court and came from Muzhou in the south without bringing any thick cotton clothes.

Nowadays, soldiers would find some dry straw, weave it into clothes, and wear it on their bodies or stuff it into their clothes to keep out the cold.

At night, bonfires were lit everywhere.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to sleep soundly, and it is even possible that you would not be able to wake up again.

Lu Yuan sat under a big tree.

At this time, his height was more than nine and a half feet, and his entire back muscles bulged high under the clothes that were not stuffed with straw.

Zhou An, who was standing next to him, was helping him roast a sika deer that he had just hunted. He placed the removed leg over the campfire, and oil was already coming out of it, dripping onto the firewood, making a sizzling sound.

Zhou An respectfully handed the roasted sika deer leg to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan bit off the tender and juicy sika deer leg meat with the bone and started chewing it with a "crunching" sound.

In front of me is a dark blue system panel.

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Superpowers: Immortality/Infinite Strength]

【Attributes:
Strength: 1620】

1620 kilograms of force.

Compared with the last time I crossed the river, I had 220 kilograms more strength.

After the last battle, Lu Yuan also understood.

With his current strength, I'm afraid he is still no match for that god of war.

However, this trip was quite beneficial to him.

The army’s food has not been completely consumed.

The officers and soldiers of the Daqian court did not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

With each passing day, his strength steadily increased.

Marching in the snow in the mountains, with a large temperature difference between day and night, affects breathing a little, which may be a little difficult for others.

But for him, it was not a problem at all.

Even without a campfire, he wouldn't feel very cold if he slept on the ground.

As long as he had enough to eat every day, there always seemed to be a current of heat flowing through his body, making him extremely warm.

Therefore, such temperature cannot have any effect on him.

As for hurrying on, it was no problem for his physical strength. Lu Yuan was chewing on the deer leg.

The meat was digested quickly in his stomach, turning into a warm current that flowed throughout his body.

There are goose feather-like snowflakes in the sky.

The Tianxing Army marched down the mountain, and with every step they took, they were knee-deep in the snow.

In the distance, you can see the flat horizon.

You can even see the smoke rising from the horizon.

There should be a village there.

The road was long at this time, so he took his men and chose a snowy area and marched quickly.

There are no more natural defenses to rely on.

If they want to go to Bazhou, this is the place they must pass through.

The imperial court will definitely blockade this place.

However, it is not that easy to block them.

This place stretches for dozens of kilometers.

Although there are cliffs that are difficult to climb everywhere.

However, there are seven traversable paths.

If the army went straight, leaving traces in the snow, it would be easy for the enemy to intercept them.

But, the White Snake King divided the team into four groups.

The four teams each chose a different route to set off, making detours from time to time and leaving behind footprints.

The court's spies naturally had no way of judging which path they would take.

They would certainly divide their forces to guard all the roads.

In this way, the guarding forces of the officers and soldiers would be dispersed, and it would be much easier for them to break through.

Then, we can meet at the agreed place.

At this time, Lu Yuan led his pawns down the mountain and walked forward in a certain direction, taking one step forward and one step back.

Li Qi originally wanted to invite Lu Yuan to travel with the White Snake King.

After all, Lu Yuan is the only one in the Tianxing Army who can withstand the attack of the God of War, and his strength is obvious to all.

The teacher will definitely be safer if he is around.

However, Lu Yuan refused without thinking.

Are you kidding? The Armored Army is chasing the White Snake King. If I follow him, won’t the risk be doubled?
Even if the White Snake King is dead, he can still survive with his own team.

Therefore, he resolutely refused.

He took his pawns, chose another path, and walked quickly.

The White Snake King, Li Qi, led a reorganized division of 6,000 men, walking quickly in the snow.

In the distance, a road between two snow-capped mountains can be seen.

This is one of the seven ways to break out.

On the road, one could already see at least eighteen thousand soldiers setting up camp and guarding there.

As they emerged from the snow.

The officers and soldiers quickly began to gather and set up sharp wooden railings on the road.

Apparently they had been discovered.

However, they had a total of 6,000 pawns, while the opponent had less than 2,000 soldiers, so they could easily break through.

At the commander's command, six thousand soldiers raised their weapons high and marched towards the road where they were camped and guarded.

The Tianxing Army soon engaged in a fight with nearly two thousand officers and soldiers.

The sound of weapons clashing and shouting shook the sky.

The imperial officials and soldiers seemed to have received strict orders, and they did not retreat even though there was a huge gap in the strength of the two sides.

But in the end, they could not defeat three alone, and the Tianxing Army's whereabouts had been exposed. If they could not break out quickly and attracted more enemy forces to encircle and suppress them, they would be dead.

Therefore, the six thousand soldiers fought fiercely, and soon they overwhelmed the nearly two thousand officers and soldiers and approached the road behind.

Just when Tianxing’s army was about to break through the blockade of officers and soldiers and enter the avenue.

There was a dense sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground, which made the snow on the mountain collapse a little, and came from behind the officers and soldiers.
