Su Qi'an did not expect that Tang Feng would bring troops from Xizhou. He did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to retreat immediately.
No matter how powerful the Dongshan Army is, there is a limit. The fierce battle with the Heilu Army just now took a lot of casualties and physical strength.
If we really want to fight against the Xizhou soldiers of more than 10,000 people, we will undoubtedly use the mantis as a chariot and bring about our own destruction.
The best thing to do now is to throw away everything that reduces your burden and leave here as quickly as possible.
Once you are entangled by the Xizhou soldiers, it will be too late to leave.
Su Qi'an annihilated Tang Feng's elite, and it didn't take much to think about it to know that Tang Feng must hate him deeply.
If he could catch up with them, he would destroy Su Qi'an at all costs.
Fighting against such an army with strong soldiers and high morale is simply seeking death.
The Dongshan Army under his command immediately checked their equipment. Some even discarded their armor, wearing inner armor and holding broadswords.
Under Su Qian's order, they quickly retreated.
The Dongshan Army's retreat was not slow, but this time Tang Feng was determined and would not give up until they were wiped out.
They bypassed the blocked valley and chose a nearby road full of thorns.
The vanguard of a thousand people waved their swords and slashed as they walked.
A road was forced out, and an army of more than 10,000 people quickly attacked tirelessly.
Hurrying slowly and hurriedly, after walking an arduous and dangerous distance, I finally caught up with the fleeing Su Qi'an an hour later.
Su Qi'an had no choice but to command the Dongshan Army to fight with it. The result was self-evident.
This resistance did not last long and was defeated by the vanguard Xizhou soldiers.
It's not that the Dongshan Army is weak. If they really fight, they can still take down these thousand vanguards.
But if this really happens, they themselves will definitely be surrounded by subsequent armies.
Therefore, when the two sides were fighting, Su Qi'an did not think about a head-on confrontation, but instead fought and retreated.
Small groups of troops were sent out many times to lure and distract the troops, in order to buy time for the large troops ahead.
But this time Tang Feng, who has more than 10,000 troops, is now like a nouveau riche.
No matter how many times they were harassed, these Xizhou soldiers remained indifferent. After defeating them, they did not pursue them, but resolutely pursued them forward.
Tang Feng couldn't figure out Su Qi'an's plan, so Tang Feng gave the order long before the pursuit.
No matter how many small groups of troops were harassed, they were ignored.
They only have one goal, to kill Su Qi'an and destroy the Dongshan Army.
As long as Su Qian is killed, what does these small-scale harassment mean?
The plan was carried out bit by bit according to Tang Feng's ideas. After they left the open area where the Dongshan Army annihilated the Heilu Army.
In a forest, Su Qi'an was blocked, because after leaving the forest, there was no so-called open land in front of the mountains.
It was a cliff, and Tang Feng had already forced Su Qi'an to a dead end.
God really helped Tang Feng, so Tang Feng did not send troops to surround him.
Originally, the cliff behind Su Qi'an was a natural dead end.
He didn't need to send troops at all. He just needed to force Su Qian and the others out of the forest. Then they would have no chance to escape.
The Xizhou soldiers advanced slowly without rushing. Tang Feng knew that at this time, he had to be more cautious.
If he gets close, he will fight to the death and struggle before death, and his casualties will definitely increase greatly.
Reducing unnecessary casualties is also a top priority, so this matter cannot be rushed.
Tang Feng was in the middle and rear of the Xizhou soldiers, and he was surrounded by a group of shadow guards.
He was surrounded by layers of Xizhou soldiers protecting him. Facing this absolute defense, if Su Qi'an wanted to make a surprise attack, it would be impossible to kill him among a million soldiers.
Tang Feng had been fooled before in Xizhou City. He would not be fooled by such a trap.
Jump a second time.
Now, he can just sit back and wait and see what happens next.
It won't be long before Su Qian, the one who caused him so much trouble, will die in his hands.
In the dense forest ahead, there were countless Xizhou soldiers. They were divided into more than a dozen teams according to prior arrangements, and each team occupied a certain area.
Each person is like a dot, and the dots are connected to each other and connected together, like a large invisible net, forcing out the Dongshan Army hidden in the forest bit by bit.
Even if the Dongshan Army attacked midway and took out a few points, the Xizhou Army from behind would soon fill them up.
No matter in terms of quantity or quality, they are like an iron wall, no matter how the Dongshan Army targets them, they remain unmoved.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Song Biao and Er Meng raised their voices in unison, requesting Su Qi'an to leave a force for them so that they could act as rearguard and cover the retreat of the rest of the Dongshan Army.
The current situation is, to put it bluntly, a death squad, trying to hold off the opponent at all costs.
This is often used on the battlefield, but this time, Su Qi'an with a solemn face refused them.
The Dongshan Army was not only his subordinates, but also his brothers who shared hardships together. Su Qian could not do this by leaving an army dedicated to death to cover their evacuation.
Even if the queen was to be cut off, he, the Marquis of Dongshan, would have to set an example himself.
Song Biao and Er Meng understood Su Qi'an's thoughts. They were very moved, but they refused Su Qi'an to stay.
"Sir, stop talking. The situation is urgent right now. Let us stay behind. As long as you are here, sir, the Dongshan Army will be there. Even if we die, we will die without regrets."
"Yes, sir, you are the soul of the Dongshan Army. As long as you are here, the Dongshan Army will not disperse. Mr. Wenyan, please take Mr. Su away quickly. We will cover you. Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
Song Biao and Er Meng's faces were full of determination. Huang Wenyan also knew that the situation was urgent and wanted to take Su Qi'an away as soon as he called a few subordinates.
But Su Qi'an broke free immediately, and Su Qi'an said directly, "Tang Feng wants to destroy the Dongshan Army, but it's still early. You want to die, but I haven't agreed yet."
"Aren't the Xizhou soldiers strong? Well, I'll show this to you. I'll leave the third group behind, and the other 1, 2, and 4 groups will withdraw immediately. Today we'll counterattack them!"
After saying that, Su Qi'an stood up, holding a broadsword and carrying a gentian bow behind his back, and a burst of momentum broke out.
It was a fearless aura that shocked everyone around him. They understood Su Qi'an's perseverance, but no matter what they said, they couldn't be persuaded.
Then he stood up slowly, surrounded Su Qi'an, and looked ahead, with the intention of charging together.
Just when Su Qi'an decided to leave 500 people behind, he personally led the team to cover the retreat of the remaining Dongshan Army.
Suddenly, a scout from behind quickly came to report.
"Good news, Lord Marquis, we found a trail in the dense forest that can get us out of danger."
"Is it true? Are you sure that the trail can lead to escape?" Huang Wenyan was the first to speak.
"Back to the military advisor, this is absolutely true. To be precise, this trail was provided by several villagers."
"Villagers?" Su Qian was puzzled.
The scout quickly explained, with indescribable joy on his face, "Master Marquis, those villagers are not local villagers, they are the villagers who escaped from the night attack on Dongshan Village that night."
"What!" This time, Su Qian was shocked.
Not that he was surprised that the villagers of Dongshan Village escaped, but they went all the way from Lingbei County to Manghuang County.
Although the distance between the two is not too far, it is a mountain road and there is no direct official road at all, so you often have to take a detour.
The fact that they were able to escape all the way and come here means that someone must be directing them behind them.
Thinking of this, Su Qian's heart suddenly accelerated. He had a strong premonition. Before he could ask, the scout was also very excited and kept talking.
"Master Marquis, that's right, these villagers are all commanded by my wife, the child instructor, and the others."
This is a word
Su Qian's face was filled with excitement as he came out, and he quickly asked, "Are Ziyin, Tong Zhan, and the others okay? Are they injured? How many people are here?"
Although the scout wanted to answer this series of questions, he had just learned about it and did not know the details. Knowing that he could escape from the trail, he rushed over to report to Su Qi'an as soon as possible. As for the others, he really didn't know much about it. learn.
Su Qi'an also knew that he was a little too anxious. He had no choice but to return to Xizhou. In addition to seeking an explanation from Tang Feng, the main purpose was to find news about Qin Ziyin, Tong Zhan, Qin Huai, Lu Xiaowan and others.
From the north of Xizhou, he ran all the way to the south, and the fierce battle with Tang Feng covered half of Xizhou.
But there is still no news about them, and now, in such a dangerous situation, not only do they survive the desperate situation, but they also know the news about the wife they miss so much.
How could this not make Su Qi'an excited, but fortunately Su Qi'an controlled his emotions.
Knowing that this is not the place to talk, since Qin Ziyin and Tong Zhan have sent people to respond, the top priority is to leave here immediately. If anything happens, we will talk about it in person.
Song Biao, Er Meng and others were also quite happy to hear the news about Mrs. Sister-in-law.
He immediately said to Su Qian, "Sir, if the Dongshan Army is not defeated today, don't hesitate, retreat immediately, and we will cover it."
This time, Su Qi'an did not refuse the two people's proposal. He nodded heavily.
He said to the two of them, "I will leave the rest of the task to you. I will hand over the best weapons and equipment in the army to you. Remember, after a quarter of an hour, no matter what, you have to withdraw from me. Don't be reluctant to fight."
After listening to Su Qi'an's instructions, the two nodded heavily, but Su Qi'an was still worried and waved his hands. Soon, a group of soldiers came over, each of them carrying twenty pieces of high explosives.
This time, Su Qi'an handed over half of the high explosives he took with him to Song Biao and Er Meng.
Looking at no less than two hundred high explosives, both of them smiled.
With this group of guys in their hands, if it weren't for insufficient troops, they would have had the original five thousand people.
With this, no matter what, these more than 10,000 Xizhou soldiers must be allowed to stay here.
With the help of this batch of explosives, the two became more confident and even a little eager to try.
The two of them clasped their fists and said to Su Qi'an, "Don't worry, sir, we will successfully complete the mission and join you all."
