"The other party used black powder to attack, and our army suffered heavy casualties." Her eyes paused on Yan Xiao's face: "Linze was injured."
"Is it heavy?"
Before Yan Xiao could speak, Long Aotian blurted out.
Bai Shui shook his head: "I don't know. The situation is not good. We are afraid we have to retreat quickly."
"Where did Ji Xiu get the black powder?" Yan Xiao tried to calm down.
Bai Shui still shook his head.
"I think - I know..." Everyone's eyes focused on the face of Lord Longmen, and Lord Longmen's aura suddenly weakened a lot.
"The Soul Chasing Gate was robbed by Princess Liwan. We should have taken away all the black gunpowder there..." The leader of the Dragon Gate became even weaker. He originally thought it was just a natural disaster combined with personal grudges, but now it seems that
Come on, it was planned in advance!
Wei Zi was shocked.
No matter how many times I calculated, I didn’t expect this!
"Master." Baishui asked Wei Zi's opinion.
"Wake everyone up and retreat in an orderly manner." Wei Zi made a decision immediately.
However, just after arranging the wounded, before they could get out of the woods, they were surrounded by light cavalry from the east, south and north.
To the west are high mountains, and behind the mountains is a raging river. Unless you have wings, you can't escape.
The only way out is to break through forcefully from the east or south.
Linze left an army of about 5,000 people behind, but the night was so dark that Wei Zi and the others had no idea how many people were coming from the other side.
Linze's men said to Yan Xiao and Wei Zi: "The right prime minister has an order. If the rear is attacked, we must first escort a few of them to a safe place."
Yan Xiao asked: "What about him? In this current situation, what is his plan ahead?"
The subordinates shook their heads: "The Prime Minister has not said anything yet, everyone, please leave quickly."
Wei Zi held Yan Xiao's hand: "The other party sent elite troops to attack the rear. It seems that they have plans to kill us or capture us alive to threaten the front. In this way, what we can do is not to hinder the front."
Yan Xiao gritted his teeth secretly, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
The 5,000-man army was divided into three groups.
The first group of 4,000 people will protect the wounded and break out from the north; the second group of 800 people will go to the south to pretend to be a full-scale breakout and attract the opponent's troops; the third group will be Linze's 200 elite troops to cover Wei Zi and his party from the east.
.
But somehow, there are more and more enemy troops in the east. Even if there are two hundred people who are good at fighting dozens of people, they can't withstand the continuous flow of troops.
Seeing more and more wounded, the group was forced to retreat to the high mountains to the west.
"Doctor Wei, why do I think this is so weird?" With the protection of Asan and Asi, the Dragon Sect Master can still talk to Wei Zi.
Wei Zi also noticed something was wrong.
"Yes, I think the goal of this army is not to destroy Linze's rear, but to destroy us."
The troops from the north had already broken through the encirclement with their wounded, while the enemy troops from the south retreated quickly. The eight hundred people pretended to be fighting alone, but only their east side was attacked with concentrated firepower.
If he said it was not because of them, Wei Zi would cut off his head.
"But what are you doing to arrest us?" Master Longmen wondered.
Wei Zi is also thinking about this issue.
Is it because of Yan Xiao? He caught Yan Xiao and threatened Linze?
Something didn't seem right. Linze had never publicly admitted his feelings for Yan Xiao. Ji Xiu probably didn't even know about Yan Xiao's existence.
