Chapter 36: ?overnight
"Battle!"
Zhou Cheng shouted, strode forward, and stabbed Chen Cang with the long knife in his hand.
Chen Cang also moved, he didn't dodge, but took the initiative to approach.
Facing Zhou Cheng's attack, he dodged sideways and evaded quickly.
He was extremely fast, easily dodging Zhou Cheng's stab.
Zhou Cheng's attack failed, so he changed his sword style and swept out a horizontal sword, killing Chen Cang.
However, Chen Cang's movement was extremely flexible. He first dodged and dodged the horizontal sword.
Then, he moved forward quickly and struck a blowing palm.
After Zhou Cheng saw it, he quickly drew his knife to block it, but it was still too late.
Snapped!
Chen Cang slapped Zhou Cheng's abdomen with his palm, causing Zhou Cheng to go backwards.
He didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to stabilize his body, and once again stepped on the wolf's step to force him over.
Zhou Cheng's reaction was quick, and he slashed with a knife.
Chen Cang used his flexible footwork to dodge the slashing knife, and then slapped it out with a heavy palm.
Snapped!
This palm went down, right in the middle of Zhou Cheng's chest.
This palm was so powerful that it knocked Zhou Cheng down to the ground.
Zhou Cheng fell to the ground with an ugly face.
He stared at Chen Cang dazedly, completely unaware that Chen Cang was already so powerful.
Outside.
Sun Tao frowned when he saw Zhou Cheng lying on the ground and then Chen Cang who was calm.
Zhou Cheng actually lost, and he lost so fast?
This is so unexpected!
He could see that it was not that Zhou Cheng was not strong, but that Chen Cang surpassed Zhou Cheng in both speed and strength.
Wang Sheng, who was beside him, shook his head when he saw that Chen Cang easily defeated Zhou Cheng.
This little guy is so powerful, he didn't say it sooner, which made him worry in vain.
Fang Lie was obviously a little surprised when he saw this scene, but he was overjoyed.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him!
He had already sensed that Chen Cang's aura had become much stronger, so when an old soldier stood up to see Chen Cang's combat effectiveness, he did not stop him.
He also wanted to see Chen Cang's performance.
He intends to train Chen Cang, but he also needs Chen Cang's strength.
Now, Chen Cang's performance shows that his guess is correct.
Chen Cang, he really made a breakthrough!
This is Chen Cang's first shot after breaking through to the mid-body quenching state, and he has not yet been able to skillfully use the newly added power.
If you master those powers skillfully and defeat Zhou Cheng, it will be easier than this.
However, his performance just now was quite remarkable for other soldiers.
If it could be easier, wouldn't it be heaven?
Zhou Cheng fell to the ground, very embarrassed.
Thinking of him, an old-fashioned mid-body quenching cultivator who still used weapons, but was defeated so quickly by a newcomer, Chen Cang, if there was a hole in the ground at this moment, he would have plunged into it long ago.
It's so embarrassing!
He stood up, clutching his chest, and stepped aside dejectedly.
I wanted to suppress Chen Cang, but instead it became Chen Cang's stepping stone, which was not a bad feeling at all.
Chen Cang glanced outside, but inadvertently saw Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan suddenly withdrew his eyes, lowered his head, and retreated behind Wang Sheng.
Fang Lie glanced at Sun Tao, "Sun Tao, Chen Cang's performance is obvious to all. He defeated Zhou Cheng with his bare hands, proving his combat effectiveness. Now, do you want to test Chen Cang's combat effectiveness by yourself?"
After Chen Cang heard this, he had some vague expectations.
Instead, he wanted to play against Sun Tao in the later stage of the Body Tempering Realm to see how far his combat power has reached.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
I saw that Sun Tao said, "If I make a move, I will be bullying the weak."
"So, Chen Cang is sent for this task, do you have any opinion?" Fang Lie asked.
"No." Sun Tao shook his head.
He also knew that he couldn't overdo it. After all, Fang Lie is very long.
It's not a good thing to anger Fang Lie.
So, Fang Lie announced that Chen Cang and Wang Sheng would be the ones to carry out this mission.
Chen Cang and Wang Sheng went to the main camp of the Central Army, and together with other soldiers, formed a team to deliver food and grass.
Eight cavalry, twenty infantry.
Food and grass are very important, so the leader of the team was Li Liang, the centurion, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
Everyone brought enough dry food and drinking water, and under the leadership of Li Liang, they left the East City Gate.
Li Liang and his eight cavalrymen had horses to travel, while Chen Cang and other infantrymen could only walk on foot.
The cavalry and the infantry each have their own roles and are indispensable.
Chen Cang was carrying dry food, drinking water, a moon sword, and a shield.
One of the main functions of the shield is to resist the enemy's long-range attacks, mainly arrows.
The cavalry did not carry shields, only the infantry did.
Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, the north wind is getting stronger and the weather is getting colder and colder.
The north wind blows on his face like a knife.
However, for these soldiers, they are used to such a scene.
As a newcomer, Chen Cang participated in such a mission for the first time.
However, Wang Sheng is different.
He is a veteran with more qualifications than many others. He has participated in many tasks, and picking up food and grass is one of them.
Moreover, he has participated in the task of delivering food and grass more than once.
Chen Cang closely followed Wang Sheng's footsteps and humbly learned from him.
Ask him some questions he should pay attention to, and what to do when encountering an enemy attack.
Maybe, he usually delivered the right wine. Wang Sheng told him some precautions based on his experience.
Chen Cang listened very carefully and gained a lot.
Wang Sheng said meaningfully: "Receiving food and grass is both an opportunity and a challenge. It is not terrible to encounter an enemy attack. The most important thing is to be able to kill the enemy and save the food and grass."
And the enemy does not only refer to barren bandits, but also barren beasts, mainly steppe wolves.
The head can be broken, UU reading www. uukanshu.com blood can be shed, food and grass can not be thrown away, what is said is the importance of picking up food and grass.
There was a scout ahead to clear the way, all the way to the east, but the road was calm.
On the way, they also encountered a pair of caravans.
They drove seven or eight camels, with nine guards, from the east to enter Liangcheng.
Because there are various dangers on the road, the merchants learned to report to the group to keep warm, formed a caravan, added guards, and traveled together.
Chen Cang and the others hurried on the road with all their strength, and took a few breaks in the middle, but each break was very short.
In the evening, the sun went down, and they hadn't reached their destination yet.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Liang ordered to set up camp on the spot, and then hurry up after the night.
This is a sandy field, with some sparse bushes nearby, and some dead weeds.
After setting up the barracks, some soldiers took out the dried cow dung they carried with them and set up a fire.
Another soldier went to find some dead branches nearby and increased the firepower.
At night, the fire cannot be extinguished.
Fire is not only used to ward off cold, but also used for lighting.
The key is that when the beasts attack, the open flame can still play a certain role.
After eating dry food, some soldiers went to rest first.
Chen Cang didn't go to rest, but to keep watch. After the first half of the night, he can go to rest.
He and Wang Sheng were in charge of the east. The two sat around the fire, watching the surroundings vigilantly while heating the fire.
Wang Sheng looked at the flickering firelight and said, "You know what? I remember that something happened when I was on my first mission to deliver food and grass. At that time, the person who was watching the night with me went to release water, but he didn't come back for a long time."
Chen Cang listened in his ears, but looked not far away in his eyes, and said, "That person has been gone for a long time, and he never came back."
