At this moment, Linze didn't have time to think about this at all.
The combat effectiveness of the armies of other countries in Kyushu was far greater than his, and now with the help of black powder, his military strength was rapidly decreasing.
Not only that, he was also stabbed several times. Although not fatal, the blood flowed too much, which also affected his combat.
Based on the current situation, I am afraid that if we fight tomorrow, more than half of his troops will be lost.
By then, the battle will be even more difficult to fight.
Linze was making a decision quickly.
If you fight hard, you have no chance of winning; if you retreat, you are not completely sure that you can evacuate safely.
At this time, a big bird was screaming and circling in the sky.
Linze's heart trembled.
This bird is used by him to guard the rear. If something happens in the rear, it will come to report the news.
Linze called his men: "What happened in the rear?"
His subordinates reported that the rear was being encircled and suppressed, but the news he received was delayed. The news that Wei Zi and the others had broken through from the east had not yet been conveyed to the front.
Linze's eyes darkened, and a nameless fire surged in his heart, both angry and anxious.
He vaguely guessed that Ji Xiu sent people to raid the rear, and it should be related to Long Aotian and Wei Zi, but no matter what, Yan Xiao was also with them!
Moreover, with Yanxiao's friendship with Wei Zi, she will definitely advance and retreat with Wei Zi regardless of her own safety.
If the rear is lost, Yanxiao and the others are captured, or——
Linze punched the stone hard, and cracks suddenly appeared in the hard stone.
"Give me the order to retreat to the northeast!"
Going northeast, he could meet up with Yan Xiao and the others. Also, dozens of miles northeast would be the Wilderness of Zhuolu.

Wei Zi and his party had forced their way out of the encirclement, and after another two hours of marching, they finally got rid of Ji Xiu's army.
Yan Xiao looked at the map on his wrist and was stunned.
At this time, Linze's men, who were delivering news from the front line, also arrived: "The right prime minister is leading troops to retreat to the northeast."
"He is retreating to the northeast..." Yan Xiao quickly took out his mobile phone, enlarged the map, and said to Wei Zi, "We are going to the east, he is retreating to the northeast, and we will eventually meet here."
Yan Xiao's finger landed on a point.
The leader of the Dragon Sect leaned over and said, "Zhuolu? Why does this place sound so familiar?"
"Back then, Chi You's tribe and Huang Di's tribe had a decisive battle in the wilderness of Zhuolu. Chi You was defeated and killed here by Huang Di's Xuanyuan Sword." Diyin explained.
"Oh - ah?!" Longmen Master suddenly looked at Wei Zi: "What does Linze mean?"
Wei Zi frowned and said, "He wants to kill Ji Xiu here."
"Is he - sure?"
Wei Zi sighed: "No, this is the last chance."
"How to say?"
"The Wilderness of Zhuolu is the place where Chi You and Ji Xuanyuan fought a decisive battle. And underground in Zhuolu, one of Chi You's nine magic weapons, the Zhu Xie Halberd, is buried." Tianyu's memory emerged in Wei Zi's mind.
Seeing Long Aotian waiting for her to follow, she thought for a moment and said to Bai Shui: "Let everyone rest here first."
Then, she smiled at Long Aotian and Yan and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

The eastern sky has turned gray, and the eternal night is coming to an end.
Wei Zijiang told Long Aotian and Yan Xiao about the battle between the three ancestors in ancient times, as well as the hundred-year journey that Nvwa from the Yandi clan and Tianyu from the Jiuli clan took their respective clansmen to return to Kyushu.
Long Aotian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was speechless even with laughter.
