A dense rain of arrows shot out like raindrops towards the defeated troops of the Sky Eagle Empire who were completely defenseless. Amidst the miserable howls in the sky, the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Empire fell to the ground one by one. It only took a short moment.
That is, tens of thousands of people were killed.
Reckless's face became extremely ugly. Hearing the screams behind him and the shouts of killing from both sides of the road, he continued to run forward in a hurry, regardless of fatigue or even giving orders.
He led the way, and the soldiers behind him naturally gave up the idea of turning around to defend themselves against the enemy, and just braved the dense rain of arrows and rushed forward. When they finally escaped from the dense rain of arrows, they encountered another obstacle on the road.
The armies that suddenly rushed out from both sides were slashed and killed. When the sky dawned and they finally got rid of the wolf-like and tiger-like Dragon Soaring Empire pursuers behind them, less than 70,000 people of more than 800,000 people were left.
One hundred thousand.
In just one night, the Sky Eagle Empire once again lost a hundred thousand people.
In his reckless heart, he no longer had the slightest thought of resistance. When he came to the Soaring Dragon Empire, he originally thought that he would be able to lead an army back home in glory soon. But now, his only hope is to return alive.
Hungry, he was too tired to run anymore, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
"Marshal..." Two young generals ran to him and tried to help him up, but instead of being able to help him up, they were dragged to the ground by him.
Reckless sat on the ground gasping for air in an extremely embarrassed manner. He turned to look at the two generals and asked nervously: "How is the situation now?"
"We have thrown away the pursuers. They should be far away from us now. We should be safe for the time being." A general said breathlessly.
"They are humans too, and they will get tired." Rude thought for a while and said, "We are so tired, they are not much better than us, I think they should be resting now."
Having said this, he paused slightly before making a decision: "Send the order, let the whole army rest, and take advantage of this time to gather the army quickly. As long as we can breathe again, with the strength we have at this time,
, you are not afraid of the pursuers at all, as long as you persist to Lingfeng City, everything will be fine."
"Could it be..." A general looked at Reckless hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Reckless frowned and asked.
"Would Lingfeng City have already..." the general said hesitantly.
"Impossible!" Reckless shook his head firmly: "The Dragon Empire only has such a small army, how can it have the ability to deploy the army to Lingfeng City? Moreover, Lingfeng City is so far away from Lucheng, no matter how powerful their generals are.
It is absolutely impossible to predict such a long-term situation!”
"But... we have been attacked repeatedly recently..." Another general said hesitantly: "What if... Lingfeng City really..."
"Then what do you think we should do? Lingfeng City is the only way for us to retreat. If we don't go to Lingfeng City, do we have to go back to fight with the pursuers?" Reckless became angry, glared at the two generals and said in a deep voice: "What do you think about the following?
Are the number of pursuers small? If you think so, I don’t mind letting you lead a large army to resist the pursuers!”
"That's not what we meant!" The two generals were startled and hurriedly explained.
"What are you talking about? Go and gather the army for me immediately!" Reckless frowned fiercely.
"Yes!" The two generals said no more, tried to stand up, and dragged their extremely tired bodies to get busy. However, Reckless looked solemnly thinking about what the two generals said.
Although he did not think that the number of pursuers behind him was very small, he could not help but consider what these two generals said.
After pondering for a moment, he finally made a decision: "When I get to Lingfeng City, I will just rest for a while, and then leave with the army, or even not enter the city at all!"
After making such a decision, his uneasiness was slightly relieved. He took out a long breath, took out some water and dry food, ate some hastily, and then lay down directly on the ground.
He rested for more than an hour and still didn't wait for news that the pursuers behind him were coming. He gradually felt relieved and simply stopped rushing. He ordered the army to bury pots and make rice on the spot until they were full and drunk.
Keep on your way.
Time passed very quickly and very calmly. Reckless rested enough until noon before finally not daring to rest anymore. He was worried that the pursuers behind him would suddenly rush up and block them.
"The front is the boundary of Xiaoyang Mountain. We should be able to reach Xiaoyang Mountain in the evening. Then we will find a high-lying place to camp and then have a good rest. Now we can't waste any more time. We must wait until dark
I rushed to Xiaoyang Mountain before and must find the safest place to spend the night before dark!" Reckless said as he stood up.
The two generals around him thought what he said made sense, because once it was night, the hilly areas would become extremely unsafe, but not during the day. At least in their opinion, Xiaoyang Mountain during the day should be
There will be no ambush.
He led the army in a hurry, and it took him more than three hours to finally reach Xiaoyang Mountain.
He had to take a rest at Xiaoyang Mountain, because Xiaoyang Mountain was still more than fifty kilometers away from Lingfeng City. If they didn't rest at Xiaoyang Mountain, they would have to cross mountains and ridges overnight, which was extremely hard.
How could they still have the energy to cross the mountains and ridges overnight after they had been on the run for so long? And the most important thing is that Xiaoyang Mountain is a hilly area. As long as they find a suitable place to camp, they are not afraid of a sudden attack by the enemy.
From a reckless perspective, the decision he made at this time should be the safest decision.
Looking at the vast hills and mountains in front of him, Reckless let out a long breath, turned to the two generals beside him and said: "Give me the order, and the whole army will speed up. Once they reach the highest hilly area in front, they will immediately
Set up camp and rest where you are!”
"yes!"
"Report!"
Just as the general agreed, a soldier hurried over to report. The soldier's face looked very ugly.
"Say!" Reckless looked at the soldier's ugly expression and immediately realized that the situation might be bad. He hurriedly glared at the soldier and asked, "Are there any pursuers behind you?"
"Yes!" The soldier nodded breathlessly, and then said extremely nervously: "Not only are there pursuers behind us, but they have already caught up with them. They have already started fighting with the soldiers behind us, and we have suffered heavy losses!"
"How many people are there in the enemy army?" Reckless asked hurriedly, feeling nervous.
"Densely packed. Totally countless!"
"Asshole!" Reckless cursed heavily, his face extremely ugly. It was already getting dark. If the pursuers continued to pursue them, they would have to cross mountains and ridges at night, which would be extremely difficult and extremely difficult.
Danger.
However, the pursuers from behind had already arrived, and he did not dare to give the order to turn around and defend the enemy. Although he still had a full 600,000 troops in his hands, these 600,000 troops were completely without combat effectiveness at this time.
In addition, he had no idea what kind of strength the pursuers behind him had, so he did not dare to give the order to turn around and resist.
"The whole army retreats quickly and heads for Lingfeng City. No rest is allowed along the way!" Reckless gritted his teeth and gave the order before standing up and striding toward the rugged hilly area ahead.
He led the army to move forward in a hurry, but the news that he was being chased and killed by enemy troops kept coming. His face became more and more gloomy, and his heart became more and more worried.
Looking at the already darkening sky, Reckless frowned tightly: "If there is an ambush here, then..."
Thinking of this possibility, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. But when he thought about it again, he felt that it was impossible. In his opinion, even if the enemy commander used troops again, it would be absolutely impossible to do this.
Not to mention that the enemy army only has a small number of people. Even if the enemy army has a sufficient number, it is absolutely impossible to know that he will arrive at Xiaoyang Mountain this evening!
In his opinion, this is simply impossible.
However, what he didn't expect at all was that what he was worried about was an absolute fact, because in this rugged hilly area, on the top of the hills ahead, there were a hundred thousand troops ambushed.
The leader of the Wan Dajun was none other than General Wang Bo.
Reckless and several generals walked along the rugged mountain road, and soon came to a not very wide mountain road between two hills. He often took a breath and continued to move along the mountain road helplessly.
.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Reckless and his soldiers did not have much energy to climb up the hill, so they could only move along the mountain road. Behind them, the army of the Soaring Dragon Empire did not stop.
They have been chasing after them, and in just such a short period of time, the reckless army has been reduced by more than 50,000 people.
Reckless and several generals around him had just rounded a hill. Suddenly, there was a loud shout of killing from the top of the hill, followed by countless rocks and logs rolling down from the top of the hill.
"this……"
"No, there's an ambush!"
"Quick, run forward!"
Reckless's face was ashen, and the generals beside him were already issuing orders in a hurry. Of course, they did not dare to choose to retreat. At this time, the pursuers behind were like wolves and tigers. In their view, turning around to resist could only lead to death. The only way out
The way out is to go around this hill as quickly as possible.
Naturally, the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Empire did not dare to look back. Even though stones and rolling logs fell densely on the hills, and even though large areas of exhausted soldiers were killed and injured, no one dared to turn around. They just lost their lives.
began to run forward wildly.
However, what they didn't expect was that a large number of Longteng Empire soldiers were ambushed on top of every hill in front of them. As they walked forward, they were ambushed along the way. It seemed that the road ahead was already full of enemy troops.
.
Despite this, they still did not dare to look back, because the shouts of death from behind were always so loud.
