Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

They were all in a daze.    

They were like a group of zombies.    

Some of them even had blood flowing out of their seven orifices. They opened their mouths and shouted loudly, but their voices were extremely hoarse. After that, they fell to the ground and could no longer get up.    

The people in the motorcade were all stunned.    

Their brains were not enough for a moment.    

They did not understand why the soldiers who had been chasing them earlier had turned into such a state!    

Besides shock, they also didn't know how to be afraid.    

Just like that, they watched blankly as they rushed out of the forest.    

They also saw the huge carriage.    

They were obviously stunned for a moment. Something they had never seen before was always terrifying.    

Moreover, their previous encounter was really... too tragic!    

The courage in their hearts had already been completely exhausted.    

It was only when someone appeared beside them and had the support of their comrades that they could feel at ease.    

Xiao Yun sat at the highest point and looked over with narrowed eyes.    

"Old Man Ma, do you really think they are worthy of our fear?"    

The corner of Old Man Ma's eyes twitched a few times. He said with a bitter face, "It's too scary, really scary..."    

"Perhaps this is what the hell in the mortal world is talking about. They had just climbed out of hell with great difficulty, but they suddenly found such a huge monster in front of them. If you are them, are you afraid?"    

"Of course I'm afraid!"    

"That's right, so they should be more afraid of us than us being afraid of them."    

"So that's how it is..."    

Old Man Ma came to a realization.    

"Do you understand now?"    

"Yes! I understand! Actually, the poisonous fog in the forest was just like the rumors. It was the most dangerous thing! It was only because our young master made us wear that pig's nose that we weren't poisoned. But they can't!"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's not just that. The poisonous fog is not only harmful to the nose, but also to the eyes and skin. So we took the opportunity to rest during the day. In terms of eating and drinking, I added some medicine."    

"Young Master Xiao is a true god!"    

This sentence did not have any meaning of flattery.    

He was a man of Molan Country, but he was helpless in this area. This was the first time Xiao Yun had come here, but he was able to conquer this natural danger zone?!    

What was this? Was this not a god or something?    

No matter how he thought about it, he never thought that there would be a second person who could do such a thing.    

Xiao Yun yawned and lied down.    

"You watch closely. They won't attack immediately. Count how many people they have. Oh right, let our people go out and circle around in a while. We don't need to attack. We just need to let them see our numbers."    

After saying that, he covered himself with the blanket and prepared to sleep.    

Gua, who was beside him, quickly came over to help him cover the corner of the blanket.    

In her opinion, this was very normal.    

After all, in her eyes, Xiao Yun was not an ordinary person. It was not surprising that he could do anything.    

Therefore, she, who was the last to join the team, was the calmest.    

Old Man Ma looked at the pursuers nervously.    

As expected, they did not rush over immediately.    

Instead, they chose a position first.    

It just so happened to be the space Xiao Yun had asked them to clear.    

There were still a lot of wood shavings on it.    

It was perfect for starting a fire.    

More and more people came out.    

Hundreds, thousands.    

Old Man Ma counted carefully.    

The final number stopped at around four thousand.    

They could not stand in the middle anymore, so they spread to the surrounding area. They copied Xiao Yun and cleaned up the surrounding weeds.    

Then they immediately rested.    

Old Man Ma looked at them and felt numb in his heart.    

A team of ten thousand people, how many days had it been? They were still able to support each other. Just by walking through this forest, it became four thousand after coming out?    

More than half of them had died?!    

This forest was simply eating people!    

As for the remaining 4000 people, most of them were sick and exhausted.    

Some even threw away their helmets and armor.    

They were not as domineering as when the army attacked.    

Instead, they looked like a group of escaping people.    

Time passed bit by bit.    

From day to night.    

They never attacked.    

Even though the hundred or so people in the motorcade got out of the big car and walked around a few times, they still did not attack.    

It was as if... the two groups of people did not know each other at all.    

"How is it? How many people are there?"    

Xiao Yun woke up at midnight.    

He rubbed his eyes. It was obvious that he wanted to continue sleeping that night.    

Old Man Ma hurriedly said, "More than 4000 came out, but they are all sick. They lack medicine now and do not have enough supplies. I'm afraid they will die soon."    

"That's right. They are really too anxious. The supply line cannot go so deep."    

"Yes..."    

Old Man Ma nodded and asked curiously, "But, Young Master Xiao, how did they catch up to us and find our location? Logically speaking, wouldn't they get lost in such a big forest? At least, they will deviate from us, right? "    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Old Man Ma in astonishment.    

"You can even ask this kind of question?"    

"Is... Is there anything wrong with that?"    

"You don't even understand?"    

"This..."    

Old Man Ma felt a little awkward.    

He admitted that he was a very smart person.    

But even if he was smart, he knew that there was no way he could compete with Xiao Yun in terms of intelligence.    

Wasn't it normal that he didn't know?    

Xiao Yun waved at Gua and said, "Answer this question for me."    

Gua said, " Oh, yes, Young Master. The reason why they were able to catch up was because we were travelling normally. We didn't intentionally conceal our tracks, cut down trees to open the way, and lit a fire to make food. As long as they follow those traces, they will naturally be able to catch up to us. "    

She finished.    

Old Man Ma was stunned.    

This... was indeed a very simple question!    

It was the kind that anyone could think of.    

What's wrong with my head being slapped? Why can't I think of such a thing?    

He couldn't help but reach out and knock on his head.    

He really couldn't understand his own behavior.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing. Recently, you have been too dependent on my orders. If you carry out too many tasks, your brain won't be able to think on its own. But you have to remember, this is your chance to learn. Learning requires you to think all the time. What I tell you to do is indeed what you need to do, but you have to think about it in your heart. Why should I do this? Where are the benefits and goals? After all, I'm not a madman."    

Old Man Ma hurriedly bowed.    

"Thank you for your guidance."    

Xiao Yun smiled and asked again, "Then tell me, why didn't they attack?"    

As expected, Old Man Ma was the kind of person who would recover immediately if he was reminded.    

He frowned and thought carefully.    

"I think... they might have thought about attacking before, but they also need to rest. It would be best to attack after they recover a little bit of strength, and then use the advantage of numbers to attack us!"    

"Okay, continue."    

"However, just as they had the chance to attack, we all left... We also passed through this dense forest. Out of the ten thousand of them, there are now over four thousand left. Most of them are sick, but we didn't suffer any losses. More than a hundred of them did not decrease, and we even had a huge carriage that they did not know what it was! So they immediately did not dare to attack. At least before they figured out how we survived and what this carriage was... They won't attack."    

"That is to say"    

"In other words, as long as we stand still, they won't dare to attack us! On the other hand, if we hurry on our way, they will attack immediately because they are worried that something will happen. "    

Xiao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction and asked, "Then if they attack now, what is the probability of them succeeding?"    

"This..."    

Old Man Ma calculated again.    

Then he said, "Although they are all sickly, the difference in numbers is obvious. This is the plain, which is the most suitable place for the army to attack, so they still have the absolute advantage. As long as they attack, there are at least seven or eight of them. We are not their match. "    

"Then do you think they will charge?"    

"This..."    

Facing this question, Old Man Ma was completely unable to answer it.    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Being able to think of so much is already considered not bad. As for whether they will charge over or not... they will not."    

"Why?"    

"The battle between the two armies depends on the strength of both sides. We also need to consider the disposition and ability of the enemy general. The one we have encountered is ambitious, but overly cautious. While being cautious, it's also reckless enough."    

Xiao Yun turned his head and looked through the window at the temporary military camp in the distance.    

"Such a general is the worst!"
