Chapter 796: He must die at the hands of another person
He said: "Silent Qiu deserves to die, but he must die in the hands of another person. Now, we have killed tens of thousands of Da'ao soldiers. The mission is completed, go back!"
Helpless, the soldiers could only turn around silently...
Looking behind me, the birds are silent, the mountains are silent, corpses are piled up on the ground, and the ghosts are condensed so that the sunlight becomes pale...

Silent Qiu led the remaining soldiers and horses, about 30,000, and fled northward in panic.
The food and grass could not be maintained, so he withheld the remaining food for his own use and ordered his soldiers to dig wild vegetables and tree roots to satisfy their hunger.
He knew very well that there was an even worse war waiting for him.
At this time, he must conserve his strength and save his life.
Even if he is the only one left in the end, he will still rush back to King Aokin.
Finally, half a month later, they arrived at Qi County. Of the original 30,000 troops, excluding those who died of starvation and those who escaped halfway, only less than half remained.
However, Xuanyuan Kingdom's flags have been planted everywhere in Qian County, and Xuanyuan Kingdom's soldiers are waiting on the city towers.
Jingmo Qiu didn't dare to get any closer and led a group of people towards the west path, preparing to circle back to Da'ao from there.
After walking for about five miles, the soldiers who explored the path came back and reported in a panic: "Oh no, Generalissimo, a large number of Xuanyuan Kingdom's ambush troops were found ahead!"
"Damn it!" Jingmo Qiu roared and ordered to the soldiers: "Let's go south!"
However, in the same situation, before the group of people had walked a mile, the pathfinder turned back and reported: "A large number of Xuanyuan Kingdom's ambush troops were found ahead, Generalissimo, what should we do?"
At this time, all the soldiers were tossing back and forth, tired, hungry, and dejected, and had long lost any fighting spirit.
Jingmo Qiu gritted his teeth and ordered to go west again.
This time, there seemed to be no ambush. He was overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers to speed up their journey and strive to return to Da'ao as soon as possible.
He also encouraged the soldiers and said: "Everyone, work harder. As long as we cross the mountain col ahead, we can return to the Great Austrian Country. Then there will be big fish and meat for you to enjoy!"
This move was indeed effective. The team moved forward faster and soon reached the big mountain col.
