Empress Li's reckless behavior just now almost exposed the team and put them in a desperate situation.
Fortunately, Guo Xun took action in time and disguised the rock slide as a rock landslide.
This stopped the enemies at the bottom of the mountain and prevented them from coming up.
Guo Xun faced the rock with a burst of violent output. He had already exerted 12% of his strength.
Soon Guo Xun was exhausted, but even so, it looked like a rock slide.
The enemies at the foot of the mountain fled in a hurry. After a while, there was no movement, and then Guo Xun slowly stopped.
At this time, Guo Xun was sweating profusely, but he did not forget to warn:
"You guys stay where you are and don't move. We'll sneak down the mountain after it gets completely dark."
Everyone was frightened, looking at the pile of stones at the bottom of the mountain. How could they dare to say anything, so they all lay quietly on the slope, waiting for darkness.
Each of them was making their own calculations in their hearts, and unknowingly their eyes fell on Guo Xun.
They couldn't figure out how a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could be so powerful!
After it was completely dark, Guo Xun used his spiritual consciousness to observe carefully and made sure that no one came up from the bottom of the mountain.
After no one at the tower post continued to stare at the slope, Guo Xuncai said quietly:
"Okay, it's already dark, and they probably can't see us. Let's get out of here quickly."
Everyone nodded, crouched, turned around and ran towards the other side of the slope. as expected.
Guo Xun and the others were not discovered, and then they quickly went down the mountain without any delay, and rushed back to the base camp overnight.
Empress Li did not dare to speak along the way, but just listened to people's accusations.
The first person to speak was Cai Songyuan, who had a good personal relationship with Empress Li.
Cai Songyuan was Song Qingji's subordinate, and he was cautious and serious. He couldn't help it. He didn't expect Empress Li to be such a reckless person.
"Why are you so reckless, Empress Li! It's okay to just joke around, but this time! Human life is at stake! If it weren't for Guo Xun, we wouldn't know what happened! If the general knew about it, you would know the consequences!"
"That's right! Empress Li, can you be more careful in the future!"
Ai Gufeng, who usually rarely speaks and is a bit introverted, was also frightened and said the same.
Yu Dafu, who was often bullied by Empress Li, saw that Ai Gufeng had spoken out, so he couldn't hold back and said:
"We have to be careful in the future. We can't make mistakes like this again. Fortunately, Guo Xun helped us out today, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to go back!"
Everyone was talking to each other, but Cao He didn't say much. Empress Li didn't say a word from beginning to end, just hurried on.
Yu Dafu ran over and asked Guo Xun why he was so powerful.
Everyone had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but they didn't dare to ask, after all, they were not Guo Xun's friends.
Everyone else's ears pricked up when they heard Yu Dafu's question. They were all very curious about this question, but Guo Xun didn't explain it and just said to hurry up and hurry up.
Everyone had long been impressed by Guo Xun's strength. Seeing that Guo Xun didn't want to say more, Yu Dafu also wisely stopped asking.
Then everyone went on their way quietly until the next day.
Early in the morning, a group of people from Nanding Country came to the place where the rockslide occurred last night.
After all, it was a rockslide and they were at the bottom of the mountain, so they had to come up to check it out.
When they came up to check, they found some footprints and a large rock pit on the slope.
So they immediately realized what was going on, and they hurried back to the camp.
After a while, he saw a general wearing heavy armor and a broad sword running hurriedly towards the central camp.
The advance team returned to the army and hurried to the camp. Cao He told several generals exactly what they had seen yesterday.
But Cao He concealed the matter about Empress Li. Guo Xun thought it was inappropriate to conceal the matter. What happened last night must have alerted the enemy.
If we don't say it now, and let the enemy come and find us first, it will be a huge sin. This cannot be deceived casually!
Guo Xun stood up at this time. Now is a critical moment, and he doesn't care about your face.
Guo Xun continued what Cao He said:
"When we went to explore yesterday, because of the cold wind and rugged rocks on the ridge, we accidentally stepped on some rocks and almost exposed our whereabouts. I think we have alerted the snake now."
Guo Xun's words did not say that it was the recklessness of his teammates that caused the situation to be alerted.
It was just due to the right time and place. After hearing this, Empress Li breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself:
"I will never go against Guo Xun again."
The generals had long expected that there was an enemy behind the mountain. After the news was confirmed, they looked a little sad. But fortunately, the enemy was in the light and we were in the dark, so we could be safe for the time being.
But now I heard that they might have alerted the enemy, which suddenly made the worries of several generals suddenly rise to their throats again.
But the matter has reached this point and it is useless to talk about it. For a while, several generals did not know what to do.
Ting Caohe roughly estimated that the enemy army numbered 100,000, while we had less than 30,000. How should we deal with the enemy?
Moreover, our terrain is relatively open. If the enemy really comes over, it can be said that there is no way to hide or escape. If we are surrounded in the end, it will be worse than death.
Finally, the generals discussed that the troops should retreat for the time being, and then find a way to deal with it.
The troops quickly retreated another five hundred miles. On this day, several generals called all the non-commissioned officers in the troops together.
Because they felt that the original advance team was just exploring the path.
It doesn't require too much strength, but it's not enough nowadays, so I plan to select another breakout team.
Let them cross the border and return to the Tang Dynasty at all costs to find the Tang Dynasty border army.
When all the officers arrived, everyone discovered that only Guo Xun was still standing alone behind Hainan.
There was a row of people standing next to the other generals.
In the end, each general sent three people plus one person from Hainan to form a team of sixteen people, and the six people from the original advance team were also among them.
Now this team is in danger and has a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. Everyone looks at death with a solemn expression.
Even if there is little hope, they have to give it a try. They all know that this time there may be no return.
The generals never participated. There were more people behind the generals. They could not leave because they needed to stabilize the morale of the troops.
These people in the breakout team are all old troops who have fought with the general for many years, and their strength is not low.
The worst one has the sixth level of refined skin meat, and the highest one has the eighth level of refined skin meat. The captain is Song Hailong, the deputy general of the eighth level of refined skin meat.
After everything was ready, the breakout team headed deep into the Gobi.
Just two days after the breakout team set off, the enemy camp sent a small boat down the river.
