1765: Don't come to die

After a night of wind and snow, it was finally dawn, but the wind stopped blowing, but the snow became heavier and denser. The place where you can see your eyes was only a few feet in front of you. However, Fan Chang couldn't wait for the snow to stop. After leaving ten soldiers to take care of the wounded, he led the others to brave the heavy snow and began to move forward with difficulty.

The route of travel was planned in advance. Fan Chang was not afraid of losing Min Qi and the others. The only thing he was worried about was that in such bad weather, they would suddenly be attacked by the Qi army. After all, they would enter the Qi army next. Although the two sides had a certain degree of mutual understanding in this area, either side suddenly came and was ruthless, and the other side could only eat coptis chinensis. They could not say anything, and could only look forward to finding the venue next time.

Fan Chang was afraid that Min Qi and his team would not have enough experience on the battlefield and could not make correct judgments based on clues on the battlefield so that they could take advantage of the Qi people.

Such experience is not only about offense, but also about accurate judgment of battlefield situations and orderly retreats, but also one of the training subjects. Any mistake in judgment may cost bleeding.

After half a day, Fan Chang stood in front of a tree with a gray face. It was supposed to be a signal of Min Qi and his group, but now Fan Chang has found nothing.

"Look for it again. Did it be marked on other trees?" Fan Chang yelled at Zhao Er.

Looking at Fan Chang with a bad face, Zhao Er did not smile this time, but took a few people to search carefully, and then returned to Fan Chang with a disappointed look.

"No, we have looked for almost all the trees. If they are wrong again, it is impossible to find a tree to mark it casually. It is full of trees. If they want to do this, how can we find it?" Zhao Er said: "Boss, are they lost?"

"This is possible." Fan Chang looked up at the still dense snowflakes, and turned his eyes to the soldiers with the hawk on his arm.

The soldier shook his head, "General Fan, in such weather, the eagle will not go to the sky at all. Besides, even if it is forced to fly up, what can it do? It is impossible to find their traces."

Although I had known that this was the result, Fan Chang was still very disappointed when he heard the other party say it with his own ears.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we move forward as expected? Or after the snow stops, they can find the right path." Zhao Er whispered.

Fan Chang thought for a moment, but shook his head: "Stop first. If they really go in the wrong direction, they will still walk back after the snow stops. What I worry most is that they meet Qi Jun at this time. If we follow the scheduled plan, they may be farther and farther from their position. After the snow stops, the Harrier Eagle will find their traces, right?"

"It should be no problem." The soldier holding the hawk nodded.

"That's it, let the soldiers rest and maintain their energy. Once the snow stops and finds their traces, we will accelerate our progress." Fan Chang said decisively.

While everyone was waiting for the torture of scratching their hearts, the heavy snow finally stopped, but Fan Chang was not happy at all, because according to his judgment of time, I was afraid that most of the day would have passed. If Min Qi and the others did not realize that they had taken the wrong path but were moving forward, they would not be close to them now.

Without waiting for his order, the harrier eagle had already taken off after the snow stopped.

After a heavy snow, the weather was still gloomy, and Fan Chang's face was like the weather. This time he came out to practice, he was very careful and finally had some trouble.

He took out the map again and spread it on the ground. Fan Chang's eyes were repeatedly reviewing up and down, thinking about how he would deal with it if the worst happened.

A full half an hour later, a black dot finally appeared in the sky, but looking at the direction where the black dot came back, Fan Chang sighed to the sky. That was the direction he least wanted to appear.

Zhao Er, who has always been not serious, looked depressed this time.

"Boss, they are heading towards Panlongzhai."

There are always Qi troops stationed in Panlong Village. Usually there are about 300 soldiers stationed in normal seasons. Only in winter will it reduce to about 100 people, because it is too difficult to send supplies to the mountains in such a season. This is just like the Jinshan Village, another outpost village in this area. Once winter comes, the garrison soldiers will decrease to about 100 people.

But these more than a hundred people are not new recruits, but elite and experienced Qi army brave. Fan Chang did not think that Min Qi would have a chance of winning when he encountered this team. Moreover, those Qi troops who had been defeated by them before were also highly likely to escape to Panlong Village. This would make the number of Qi defenders in Panlong Village reach about two hundred.

"Since the Harrier Hawk can find our people accurately, can we send us a letter? We will definitely not be able to catch up with them, but the Hawk can."

The soldier holding an eagle shook his head.

"General Fan, you have also seen that the eagle can indeed judge our team, but every time he comes down, I need me to blow the eagle whistle. It will fall after it hears a special call. Unless there is a person in their team who can blow the eagle whistle, the harrier eagle can fall, otherwise it is impossible."

After hearing this, Fan Chang walked forward without saying a word. The other soldiers immediately followed.

"So quickly. The wind and snow were very strong before, so they were definitely not fast and couldn't go far. Let's work harder and we will definitely catch up with them." Zhao Er rushed to the road quickly while cheering for the soldiers.

The sky gradually darkened, but Fan Chang did not plan to stop camping. He could find the path accurately even at night from the way to Panlong Village. What made him extremely heartwarming was that the news brought back by the last takeoff of the Harrier Eagle was that Min Qi's team was still moving towards Panlong Village with great determination. This time, based on the speed of the Harrier Eagle's straight line, the soldiers of the Gable judged that Min Qi and his group did not stop moving forward even when the snow was heavy. The distance ahead of them was more than ten miles even if they were straight. But this was a mountainous area full of mountains and ridges. The straight line distance was ten miles, and the actual distance was probably twice or even more than three times.

In such weather, it is already very difficult to catch up with them.

Fan Chang only hopes that they can stop moving forward at night and camp and rest. In this way, he will catch up with them even if he doesn't sleep all night.

Zhao Er suddenly stopped beside a tree on the side of the road.

"Boss, come here quickly." There are not many such trees in this area. They are also the news tree that communicates with news agreed in advance by Fan Chang and Min Qi and others. When Zhao Er passed by here just now, he saw such a special tree. He subconsciously took a look at it more, but he didn't expect to find something.

Fan Chang walked to the tree, let out a long breath, and suddenly reached out and tore off a piece of bark. Under the bark, there was indeed a wrapped letter hidden.

After tearing open the cover and opening the thin letter paper, Fan Chang's face changed immediately. The sky was dark, and Zhao Er, who was standing beside him, did not see the words on the letter paper clearly. At this moment, seeing Fan Chang's somewhat dumb look, he couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what's wrong, do they know they have taken the wrong path?"

Fan Chang didn't say anything, and after a while, he waved to Zhao Er, "Let the brothers stop first, I want to think about it carefully."

Zhao Er walked forward with suspicion and called on others to rest for a while. Didn’t he say he wanted to speed up his journey? Why did he stop at this time?

Fan Chang had no intention of paying attention to what Zhao Er was thinking at this moment. He sat under the tree, holding the thin letter paper tightly in his hand, but his heart was filled with waves like a tsunami.

The letter was not written by Min Qi, but the clerk who had worked with him for a long time.

The letter is very simple, just a few stupid words.

"General Fan, go back. We know what we are doing. Don't come and die."

They knew what they were doing! They still wanted to not go to die by themselves, so were they planning to go to die? What about Min Qi? The noble young man who was sent to his team was obviously of noble status and was also ready to go to die by himself?

A flash of lightning suddenly passed through his mind. In an instant, Fan Chang suddenly felt that he understood something. Min Qi, is it really the Min Qi who has done a lot under his command?

Before leaving, he just bowed to himself and left without saying a word. This was very different from the attitude he usually showed. In that fight, this person suddenly showed martial arts cultivation that was inconsistent with the strength he usually showed.

This person has been transferred. It was just when General Gan General Min Qi stayed alone to speak.

There must be a plan that I don’t know about is in progress. The focus of this plan must be in Panlongzhai.

Fan Chang stood up suddenly.

"Zhao Er." He shouted loudly.

"Boss, I'm here!" Zhao Er bounced from the ground like a spring and ran to his side.

Fan Chang brought the paper roll in his hand to his mouth. Looking at Zhao Er with a surprised look, he ordered: "You, bring twenty brothers, and now return immediately to escort the wounded people who stayed in the camp out of the mountain."

"Ah?" Zhao Er was surprised. "Boss, it's not necessary for me to send the wounded to death, right?"

"I am not discussing with you if I obey the orders, don't smile." Fan Chang said angrily.

"Yes, general." Zhao Er glanced at him angrily and turned around and left.

Fan Chang turned around and looked towards Panlongzhai.
