Chapter 1110: Killing the First Enemy Among Ten Thousand People
At daybreak, scouts ahead sent back news that the enemy army was only twenty miles away from them.
Zhou Guo was shocked, and he got up quickly, saying to the thousand households and hundred households, "Here they are, go down and prepare."
Everyone dispersed immediately.
The vanguard of 700 men rushed out of the valley and confronted the enemy's army of more than 10,000 head-on.
It was also because the enemy generals did not take them seriously at all. The remnants of the defeated army were easy to capture. If he could capture the fourth son of the Xu family, the future glory and wealth would be within his grasp!
Adhering to this belief, he would not retreat even if he knew there was an ambush ahead. Fame, wealth and honor are right before his eyes, who would be willing to give up?
What can this group of people achieve even if they try so hard?
I just didn't take these people seriously.
So, when these hundreds of people retreated into the valley in panic, the enemy followed them without hesitation, like a cat chasing a mouse, and laughed loudly.
A group of people were waiting nervously on the mountain, watching the valley entrance closely, fearing that the enemy would not be fooled and would not be able to come in.
Zhou Guo was also a little nervous. If he didn't come in, or met someone who was smart and cautious, this step might not be achieved.
Soon, news came from the outpost that the enemy had taken the bait.
When all the enemies entered the valley, Zhou Guo stretched out his hand and waved the command flag. Two dragons on both sides of the valley quickly circled around the entrance of the valley and cut off the enemy's tail.
The command flag was waved again, and deafening shouts of killing broke out in several valleys. The cut branches on the top of the mountain shook rustlingly, as if there were people everywhere.
The enemies who entered the encirclement were thrown into disarray when they saw the valley full of enemies.
With a rumbling sound, wood and stones rolled down the mountain.
Ten thousand soldiers fled in panic, and many were trampled to death.
She saw that it was almost done, and nodded to the guard beside her. The guard waved the big flag that was made by making use of clothes.
In an instant, the valley was filled with shouts of killing, and more than 2,000 people rushed forward like a mountain pressing down on them.
Zhou Guo looked on coldly at the location of the enemy's flag. The general was shouting something loudly, and the panicked soldiers began to calm down slowly.
Pushing from the inside out, the people around him gradually calmed down.
She narrowed her eyes, took the bow from behind her, drew out the arrow, and slowly drew the bow to full length.
The bow was four stones and a bit large, but she still carried it with her and didn't lose it.
The bowstring was taut, the arrow pointed at the enemy general.
As if sensing danger, the other general raised his head and looked in her direction.
Zhou Guo's eyes narrowed and his fingers loosened.
There was a sound of breaking through the air and the arrow flew away.
Two pairs of eyes looked at each other in the air.
Zhou Guo curled the corners of his lips.
The tip of the arrow penetrated deep into the flesh and flew backwards, piercing two people.
The enemy general was killed by her arrows.
Then a terrified voice rang out, "The general is dead! The general is dead!!"
The camp, which had originally quieted down, became chaotic again, and they were in a hurry to carry the general's body down.
Zhou Guo shot another arrow and hit the enemy's large banner.
Our momentum is great!
Rushing forward while roaring!
Without a leader, the more than 10,000 people who were already panicking became completely disorganized and ran away without caring about anything.
The battle was won easily, with more than 12,000 enemy troops wiped out at the cost of just over 100 men.
In the end, there were only more than 2,000 people left and they surrendered.
Zhou Guo looked at the river that was so close and did not kill them. Instead, he asked someone to take the two thousand unarmed people across the river.
The rafts were tied up in rows, and thousands of people crossed the river in an orderly manner.
There were no pursuers behind them, so they crossed the river calmly.
Zhou Guo even started catching fish in the river. Her luck was always good, and in more than half an hour, she caught eight or nine big fish.
Dashu couldn't help but say: "These fish have never seen humans. They are so stupid. I can catch them all at once."
He also caught two.
Others who had crossed the river or did not have time to cross the river also started catching fish when they saw this.
The last proper meal they had was the wild boar meat they had a few days ago. They hadn't eaten anything proper in all these days. Of course, fish would be nice, but even if there was no fish, they would also eat the shrimps and crabs in the river, and even snail meat. These were all meat, not grass roots or tree bark.
Who could have thought that the once-mighty Xu family army would one day be reduced to eating grass roots and gnawing tree bark.
With the dry food snatched from those more than 10,000 people, they could have a good meal again.
During the Dashu period, several people started a fire. Zhou Guo scaled and gutted the fish. Since there was no shortage of food for the time being, she didn't want the fish in its stomach anymore.
She wanted to eat two big fish, each weighing five or six pounds. Dashu and Xiaoshu watched the heat. There was a little salt left in the seasoning bottle, which they sprinkled on the two fish. The aroma of grilled fish wafted through the valley.
Those who didn't have fresh grilled fish to eat were not disappointed. They had dry food, which could be roasted and used in the same way. They could also get a few bites from the brothers who caught big fish, which was enough for them to eat.
Zhou Guo held the grilled fish in both hands, put it to his mouth and took a bite. As soon as it entered his mouth, he sighed, "It's delicious!"
This is an ordinary grass carp, but it seems to be much more delicious than the usual grilled fish and not much worse than the shadowless fish.
Dashu handed over a piece of hot cake, "Master, have a piece of cake."
Zhou Guo took it and swallowed the hot pancake and fish. He felt much better in his stomach. It was a pity that there was no pot, otherwise he would have had a drink of hot water, which would have made him feel better.
She slowly ate the two roasted grass carps. As expected, when she was hungry, she thought everything was delicious.
In the past, people said that the stewed grass carp eaten on the road was a rare delicacy. Now, this ordinary roasted grass carp with only salt is also a rare delicacy.
After eating this, I’m afraid I’ll never forget it again.
Dashu and a few others also ate half a piece each. They didn’t have such a big appetite, so half a piece was enough.
After the meal, the rest of the people had to cross the river.
After crossing this river, it will only take two days of journey before we can go out and join the main army.
Although the food they seized was only enough for two or three days, it was enough. They had been eating wild vegetables and grass roots for so many days. Although there were not so many wild vegetables in the mountains now, there were still a lot of tree barks, which could sustain them until they got out.
She ordered the rafts to be burned.
He disappeared by the river with thousands of people.
By the time their pursuers caught up with them, they had already been across the river for two days.
Zhou Guo chose a direction, walked towards one place, and took a detour back to the camp.
During this period, they did not encounter any other pursuers. If it happened again, she was not sure if they could withstand it.
They did not encounter any pursuers and were able to stay in the mountains for two more days because they took a detour.
On the morning of the sixth day after leaving the river, thousands of embarrassed Xu's troops and two thousand equally embarrassed captives finally saw the light outside the mountain.
A group of people looked at the large patches of light in front of them, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. They pointed ahead and said, "We're out, we're out! We're out!"
Zhou Guo raised his hand and the crowd fell silent. They were not out of danger yet and could not alert the enemy.
