Along the way, there were waiting cavalry and ambushes from the Zhongyun Realm, so their march was not fast.
"Three days have passed, and I'm afraid there's no point in rushing to the mine anymore." Princess Yanyu was wearing a cotton coat, and her bamboo hat was covered with white snow.
She looked at the dark mountain road and expressed her worries.
"No!" Xia Qingchen affirmed: "If you choose to follow us in this battle, it will be the wisest decision in your life."
Especially for Princess Yanyu and Third Young Master, the two people who are at a disadvantage in the struggle for power.
Princess Yanyu looked sideways at Xia Qingchen and smiled helplessly in her heart: "What kind of stupidity did I commit? Why did I follow Xia Qingchen on this adventure?"
He knew clearly that going there would be a waste of time, but he still agreed!
This was not a decision that she should make calmly and rationally.
Da da
The ground shook slightly, and the ice and snow on the snowy mountains on both sides collapsed slightly.
"Someone is coming, get down from the beasts and prepare for battle!" Xia Qingchen gave the order, and the soldiers of the Purple Heaven Regiment jumped off the monster beasts one after another, using the monster beasts as cover to attack the enemies coming from behind.
Gradually, the sound became clearer and clearer, and it was clear that it was a large army of monsters with hundreds of people.
finally!
coming!
I saw a group of people holding torches, riding monster beasts and rushing hurriedly along the valley road.
"Attack!" Xia Qingchen ordered.
Immediately a thousand-man battle group took off, ready to give them a heavy blow!
"Don't do anything, it's one of our own!" A familiar cry came from the monster beast.
Xia Qingchen stretched out his hand to disarm the attack. When the opponent was fifty feet closer, he finally recognized it. They turned out to be the geniuses who had left with Long Xingchen's city guards.
The one who shouted was Mr. Yu Gu, but his injuries were serious. A crossbow arrow penetrated deeply into his arm, almost piercing it.
Looking at the other geniuses, they all have injuries more or less.
Zhang Xiaofeng, Yu Tingtong and other top talents, who were not injured at all, were also in a state of exhaustion.
In addition, there are also Long Xingchen and the remaining one hundred city guard troops.
Long Xingchen's injuries were more serious. His left hand was completely cut off and was wrapped in white cloth. He was unconscious and was carried by soldiers.
However, the second son and the two military palace ladies who were traveling with them were not among them.
"What happened?" Princess Yanyu asked in surprise.
Yu Gugong lowered his head with a depressed expression: "Not long after we left the Immortal Demon City, we encountered an army of ten thousand people suspected of being in the Zhongyun Realm."
"We tried our best to escape, but in the end only we managed to escape. The rest either died or were captured." Yu Gugong said with shame: "The second son, Jun Ruyin, and Jun Yaolan were all captured by the enemy."
What?
Princess Yanyu couldn't help but stepped back. She couldn't believe it. The second son was actually taken away?
He was the most promising heir to Prince Liang, but he was captured!
There is going to be a shocking shock in Liangjing!
"The losses are not as heavy as usual." Xia Qingchen glanced casually and found that of the two hundred geniuses, only about twenty came back, and the rest either died in battle or became prisoners.
He didn't have any sympathy. They chose their own path, and they deserved the price and deserved no mercy.
"Xia Wanxiaoqi, please lead the troops to rescue them immediately." Zhang Xiaofeng said weakly, his eyes moist.
Xia Qingchen refused bluntly: "One day has passed and they have been transferred to the Zhongyun Realm. It is too late to send troops."
"If you still want to survive, just follow me on the expedition." Xia Qingchen said.
Immediately, he looked at the remaining 100 troops of Long Xingchen: "As for you, disperse and integrate into various battle groups."
He couldn't trust the troops of outsiders, so he dispersed them and never allowed them to get together to avoid trouble.
"What about Dragon City Lord?" Yu Guguan said sincerely and gratefully: "In order to buy us time to escape, Dragon City Lord fought with the enemy's two Wan Xiaoqi at the same time. As a result, one of his arms was cut off after losing.
, and then fell into coma due to severe injuries.”
Xia Qingchen stepped over and squatted down to check Long Xingchen's injuries. After a while, he said: "It's just excessive bleeding, not life-threatening."
"But his arm...he will only be a useless person in this life." Xia Qingchen said expressionlessly.
Princess Yanyu said regretfully: "Although Lord Longcheng has some issues with you, I didn't expect that he is also a dedicated and responsible person. When he returns to Liangzhou City, the royal family will not treat him badly."
Xia Qingchen said: "You guys make arrangements, use a stick of incense to straighten things up, and then continue to set off!"
On the new mine.
General Fire Dragon and General Bingfeng were looking at the roster. After reading it, General Fire Dragon said: "Sir Fang, the inventory of supplies and food has been completed, which is enough for us to use for more than a month."
Fang Cuihong was sitting opposite them, lowering her head to check the casualty report of the Yunlan battle group, frowning and saying: "Well, have you strengthened the protection?"
General Bingfeng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I have sent an elite team to guard the food and grass, which can ensure nothing goes wrong."
The two generals were in a happy mood, with smiles on their faces that could not be shaken off. They were completely different from the despair they felt when a million troops suddenly attacked.
They really didn't expect that the Yunlan battle group guarding the checkpoint would be so effective as to kill ten thousand people!
In the past two days, there were only thirty casualties, and three enemy military districts were severely damaged. It can be called a new miracle of war!
As long as the Yunlan battle group is there and their food and supplies are sufficient, this new mine will be a fortress that will never fall!
Fang Cuihong nodded and said calmly: "If we hold on for another seven days, the reinforcements from the Northern Xinjiang Army should be able to arrive."
But for Fang Cuihong, it was a bit painful. Thirty soldiers of the Yunlan Chapter had been injured or killed in the past two days.
She didn't know how to explain it to Xia Qingchen!
Today, the Zhongyun Realm army rested and did not continue to attack the mountain, otherwise there would be casualties.
"Master Fang, don't be upset, you are creating miracles!" General Fire Dragon patted her on the shoulder and consoled her.
Fang Cuihong raised her head, shook his palm away, and said coldly: "What's there to be happy about? If Mr. Xia were here, maybe there wouldn't be any casualties!"
The two generals looked at each other. Fang Cuihong looked too much like Xia Qingchen, right?
In such a dangerous environment, Xia Qingchen's personal command would inevitably make mistakes, resulting in casualties.
"It would be great if Master Xia came back." Fang Cuihong said.
Puchi
Suddenly, a homing pigeon flew over and landed next to Fang Cuihong.
After taking off the letterhead from his feet and unfolding it, Fang Cuihong was pleasantly surprised and said: "Great, Mr. Xia is on his way back!"
"He asked our Yunlan battle group to prepare for battle!" Fang Cuihong was excited: "Are we finally going to fight back?"
She has been really angry these past few days, and now she can finally go down the mountain to avenge the injured and injured compatriots.
"Prepare for battle? Your Yunlan regiment wants to go down the mountain to fight? Isn't that looking for death?" The two generals were shocked: "If you stick to this mountain, you can be invincible. If you go down the mountain, you will be like moths flying into the flames!"
"Xia Qingchen didn't know the battle situation, so what kind of random orders did he give! You must not execute them!"
Fang Cuihong showed a trusting smile: "You know nothing about Mr. Xia!" (Update 5 at 12 noon tomorrow)
