The melee only lasted for an hour, when both sides of the melee heard the rumble of horse hooves in the distance.
The personal guard who had been guarding Dongfang Chen frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind Dongfang Chen: "Your Majesty, the pursuers are here, we'd better retreat quickly to avoid being attacked from both sides."
Dongfang Chen was in the mood to kill, and Qiang Yuqin had left a few bloody wounds on his body. He had almost forgotten that there were pursuers behind him. Hearing the words of the personal guard, a chill ran down his back. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he still
While retreating, he ordered: "Give me the order, retreat! Move to the south!"
Dongfang Chen's soldiers, who had already heard the sound of the pursuing troops' hooves, had already begun to think about retreating. Upon hearing Dongfang Chen's order, they retreated very quickly.
However, it is not so easy to retreat at will. Qiang Yuqin had been entrusted by Dongfang Xu in advance. If one day he encounters Dongfang Chen fleeing here in embarrassment, he must go out of the city to stop him. Of course, if Dongfang Chen's troops are in order, let him go.
Enter the city, and then look for opportunities to cooperate with them inside and outside.
Under the current situation, Qiang Yuqin naturally commanded his soldiers to pursue him closely.
Dongfang Chen was in a hurry to retreat, so he could only leave 5,000 people to fight Qiang Yuqin again, and led the remaining people to continue to escape.
In the blink of an eye, 20,000 people led by Yun Jingchu and Yun Jingxi arrived here. They glanced at the two sides in the melee and then at Dongfang Chen who was escaping, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Dongfang Chen has never been a courageous person, otherwise, he would not have been bullied and dared not fight back. Of course, it was precisely because he was not brave enough and had great endurance that he could live to be ten years old and find her.
At first, she had trained his courage, but it only made him get out of his inferiority complex and become a little stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, later, she focused on cultivating his imperial power and, of course, conspiracy and power.
There are only so many things she can teach him. When they gain a certain degree of power, he will have to figure out these things by himself and provide advice from his advisers.
Now, it turns out that she and those counselors were not successful enough, which is why that person failed like this.
After only thinking for a moment, Yun Jingchu briefly took a look at the situation on the field and immediately ordered to pursue the fleeing Dongfang Chen.
Next, for nearly three days and three nights, Dongfang Chen was chased by Yun Jingchu and Yun Jingxi to the sky and into the ground. He was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. The ten thousand people under him decreased sharply, and what was worse was that
, during the battle, Yun Jingchu shot him in the right shoulder with his sword, causing him to lose his fighting ability.
In the end, Dongfang Chen lost the majority of his troops and managed to escape with more than a thousand remaining guards, disappearing into a deep mountain.
At night, a group of soldiers lit torches and searched for the missing Dongfang Chen and others in the deep mountains and old forests.
In a plain at the foot of the mountain, Yun Jingchu, Yun Jingxi and Dongfang Xu were sitting by the campfire to rest while waiting for news.
"Report! Not found in the north."
"Report! Nothing found in the east!"
"Report! The west side is not found!"
"Report! Nanman has not been found!"
It wasn't until early in the morning that the four groups of people looking for Dongfang Chen and others returned one after another. However, the news they brought was not optimistic.
"Surround the mountain on all sides and continue the search tomorrow! Seeing that they have entered the mountain, can they escape and fly into the sky?!" Dongfang Xu said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"That's weird, where did they hide? They were so well hidden!" Yun Jingxi muttered while frowning in confusion.
