Half a month later.

In a hilly terrain.

Large carts were scattered all over the mountains and plains, and the embarrassed people sat on the ground one after another, panting.

Some women took the opportunity to open their clothes and feed the babies in their arms.

Seven to eight hundred war horses were scattered everywhere.

Except for a few of the soldiers, they either stood on high points on guard or hid in trees as secret sentries. The rest of the soldiers were either sitting or lying down and fell asleep within a second.

The flag with the word "Wu" was hung on a bare flagpole and stood on the flat ground. Because there was no wind, the flag drooped down, like an eggplant beaten by frost, limp and stiff.

Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were wearing bloody armor, holding on to the hilts of swords at their waists. After each patrolling with their soldiers and horses, they returned to sit next to the banner with the word "Wu".

"It's been half a month. We have either fought or fled with the Mongolian soldiers, and we have reached our limit. Although we are only one step away from Beishan Fort, we may not be able to get through."

Wang Gui took out a piece of dried meat that was as hard as a stone, bit into it with all his strength, and raised his head to reveal a haggard face.

His chin is very pointed and his cheeks are sunken, giving him the image of a sharp-mouthed monkey with cheeks.

"Yes. Although we have worked very hard, we are not generals after all. If nothing else happens, we have really reached our limit." Zhang Sheng raised his head, revealing a face that was almost as haggard as Wang Gui's.

In the past half month, the two of them led the team traveling here and there, traveling day and night, or fighting fiercely with small groups of Mongolian and Yuan soldiers, spending an unknown amount of energy.

They worked very hard.

However, human abilities have their limits. At this point, they are already helpless. Although Beishan Fort is close at hand, I'm afraid...

The two fell silent as they talked, and then looked up at the carriage beside them. This carriage was very big, and it should be very comfortable to sit in it.

but......

The people in the car were either conscious or unconscious for half a month.

"Hey." Wang Gui sighed in unison.

At this moment, a rough-faced man jumped out of the carriage. Because he could not stand firmly, he rolled on the ground. The man simply rolled and crawled to Wang Gui. In front of Zhang Sheng, his face showed surprise.

Said: "Two captains, the general is awake."

"Awake?!" Wang Gui stood up in unison. Wang Gui threw away the dried meat and flew towards the carriage.

Zhang Sheng shouted: "Come here, boil some water and cook some hodgepodge." Then he also jumped on the carriage.

The two of them stood at the entrance of the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right. They lifted the black curtain and looked into the carriage. Wu Nian, who had always been confused, was sitting there.

"General, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"General, the hot water will be here soon."

Wang Gui looked at Wu Nian in surprise and said.

Along the way, Wu Nian almost lay down, and several times they even thought that Wu Nian wouldn't make it through. It was really rare to sit up.

Although Wu Nian is still pale and his eyes are dull, it is really good.

Wu Nian's mind went blank, commonly known as being in a daze. It was like an old-fashioned computer that hadn't been turned on for a year. After suddenly turning it on, something went wrong.

Wang Gui's loud cry made Wu Nian's soul return to his body. First his eyes flashed, his pupils became focused, and then his consciousness returned.

Wu Nian squinted his eyes, remembering the scene when he was loaded into a carriage and ordered to leave the city. Then a bright smile appeared on his face, he looked Wang Gui up and down, and spoke loudly.

Although I have lost weight and become haggard, I am still alive. It’s good to be alive. It’s good to be alive.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Nian said sincerely.

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy. Being able to say this proved that the general had regained consciousness.

This is really great.

In an instant, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng's body was filled with strength. This not only found his backbone, but also felt that the hard work he had endured in the past half month was all worth it.

They successfully led the team and survived as much as possible, waiting for their general to regain consciousness.

This is really great.

All the hard work, all the bitterness, everything.

It's all worth it.

"This is nothing." Wang Gui's eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were slightly astringent. He took a deep breath, stood up straight, and saluted Wu Nian with clasped fists.

Wu Nian smiled and nodded, then shook his head and moved his shoulders, sore, so sore. After waiting for a moment, he asked: "How is the situation now?"

"We are still more than fifty miles away from Beishan Fort. But the spies came to report that the pursuers are already very close." Wang Gui's heart tightened, and his thoughts immediately returned to the current situation, and he said in a deep voice.

"Sixty to seventy thousand Mongolian Yuan and Han soldiers were surrounded from all directions. Some of the elite Mongolian Yuan soldiers were very fast and were right behind us. But we were so exhausted that we couldn't move any further."

Zhang Sheng clenched his fists, showing a look of unwillingness.

Wu Nian frowned slightly, but he quickly smoothed it over. Without him, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were able to accomplish this, which is already good.

After thinking for a while, Wu Nian asked: "Where is Beishan Fort? Have you sent someone to ask for help?"

He has been outside for a long time, and Beishan Fort has been stable for a long time. With the ability of Liu Zhixing, Li Yong and others, they will definitely do a good job in recruiting and training people again.

The combination of veterans and new recruits may not be enough to face the Mongolian soldiers head-on. But if they are responsible for supporting them, it should be enough.

"Three batches of fast horses have been sent back to Beishan Fort to ask for help, but I'm afraid it's too late." Wang Gui said with a wry smile and shook his head.

They did everything they had to do, and Wu Nian woke up. But the current situation is really desperate.

However, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng's heart is still at peace.

As long as Wu Nian wakes up, everything will be fine.

If the battle must be defeated, these tens of thousands of people may not be able to survive. But Wu Nian can successfully leave here and return to Beishan Fort.

That's it.

As long as Wu Nian is still there.

Their military flag is still there.

Their military spirit is still there.

Everything will be fine.

Whether it is one hundred thousand people or two hundred thousand people, they are not as important as Wu Nian. Wu Nian does not know what Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng think.

Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng felt that he had a way out. At least, he could escort Wu Nian away.

But Wu Nian wants them all.

He will not give up on these tens of thousands of people.

"Then think of a way to drag reinforcements to pick us up." Wu Nian thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind. A confident smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly to Wang Gui: "Get out of the way. I want to go see something."

Behold, my loyal soldiers."

Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment, do you still want to hold on? In this current situation, no matter how you look at it, you can't hold on. But when they looked at the confident smile on Wu Nian's face, they felt a kind of...

The person in front of me must be able to create a miracle.

Their wandering hearts were stunned.

"I'll help you down." Wang Gui stretched out his hand and said.

"No. How can the general be helped down? Where is the majesty? I want to get off the carriage and go see my soldiers."
