With the command of Commander Hao of the Black Iron Army in hand, Shi Qi delayed for another quarter of an hour.
A quarter of an hour is enough for the fleeing soldiers to run away.
It's not that Seventeen doesn't want to delay longer, the problem is that he is afraid that the two innate masters of the Black Iron Army will come back.
When he left the siege of the black iron army, only a dozen masters of the real yuan realm chased him.
Seventeen slowed down, they also slowed down, Seventeen speeded up, and they followed immediately... It's more like following than chasing.
After following for more than a mile, they gave up and Ren Shiqi disappeared from their sight.
At this time, Shi Qi realized that the so-called pursuit was just a gesture.
The darkness hardly affected Shiqi's sight too much. He quickly found the code left by Meng Baihu, and after running for two miles, Shiqi suddenly heard a big reminder from the sword spirit.
It is said that there are more than 700 warriors hiding in the woods near him.
Surrounded by nearly 40,000 people, Seventeen rushed out, so he was afraid of 700 people
Shi Qi approached the woods and asked loudly, "Who are you?"
The signs were revealed, and more than seven hundred warriors emerged from the forest.
A big man with a dark face said in surprise: "Brother, you really escaped?"
Shi Qi took a closer look and found that these people were all wearing the Bauhinia Army standard armor.
"Why don't you run away?"
The black-faced man lowered his head, and said with some embarrassment: "We planned to escape, but we stopped halfway..."
"wait for me?"
"Um!"
The black-faced man nodded and said: "We saw it from behind. You had already rushed out, but you came back to help us... We wanted to go back and help you again, but we didn't dare. We were afraid of causing you trouble. I just want to wait here to see if you can come back and see if there is anything I can do to help."
"Then come with me!" Shi Qi was still very happy in his heart, at least this black-faced man was much more reliable than Hong Xi, "I still have a group of brothers ahead, we escape together, there are so many people, we need to take care of them! "
Following the signal left by Meng Fei, after running for almost ten miles, Shi Qi finally found the rest of the Bauhinia Army.
They also hid in the woods.
As soon as Meng Fei saw Shi Qi, he shouted happily: "Chen Qianhu, I knew that those people would definitely not be able to do anything to you!"
A group of Shi Qi's brothers all surrounded him and looked at Shi Qi excitedly.
With the help of Shi Qi, many people escaped from the encirclement, a total of more than 1,200 people.
The more than 1,200 people who survived belong to the middle and upper reaches of the Sixth Army.
The team included a leader of the Sixth Army at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, that black-faced man Shen Yan.
There are eight people in Qianhu in the middle or late stage of True Yuan Realm, and seventeen of them know Zhu Guangcai and Zhu Qianhu.
There are quite a few hundred households in the early to mid-stage of True Yuan Realm, more than 20 people!
There are more than 1,200 ordinary Bauhinia troops, and their strength is very good.
The weak and the unlucky are all dead.
Shen Yan was very familiar with the situation on the border. Under his leadership, more than a thousand people fled desperately in the direction of Nanyun Kingdom. During the period, they changed their routes several times to confuse the enemy.
Seventeen and the others were lucky, they only met a small group of Black Blood Nation troops along the way, and the rest of the Bauhinia Army easily killed them.
After running wildly for two days and two nights, they entered the territory of Nanyun Kingdom before they stopped to rest.
After two days and two nights of desperate travel, there were only more than 900 people left in the original team of more than 1,000 people.
Those left behind are almost all seriously injured or too weak, and there are almost no soldiers below the middle stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
Whether the stragglers can go back depends on their luck.
"Let's not go to the original camp, but go directly to Qingfeng City!" Shen Yan pointed to the simple map and said, "The worst estimate is that all the legions we participated in the attack this time were ambushed, and the entire Bauhinia Army suffered heavy losses. The ability of the Iron Legion, the Bauhinia Legion retreated across the board, settled in a city, and turned into a defensive state. If we go back to the camp, we may be in vain, bad luck, and may encounter a large army of the Black Iron Army. It is better to go directly to Qingfeng City , the distance is not counted, and it is not a strategic location, it is relatively safe, and you can get supplies, many brothers need to rest."
Seventeen nodded and said, "Qingfeng City is not bad!"
After entering the territory of Nanyun Kingdom, the marching speed slowed down. After four days, they finally arrived outside Qingfeng City at noon.
The gate of Qingfeng City is closed tightly, and there are guards on the city wall, and there are quite a few of them.
"Who are you, don't get close!" The soldiers standing on the city wall shouted as soon as they approached the city.
Shen Yan shouted loudly: "We are from the Sixth Army of the Bauhinia Army, please open the city gate quickly and let us in!"
"Wait, let's report to Lord Commander immediately!"
Soon, Jiang Jiankai, the commander of Qingfeng City, appeared at the top of the city: "You said you belong to the Bauhinia Legion, so do you have a military order?"
"We belong to the Sixth Legion. We were ambushed by the Black Blood Nation on the way, and we were the only ones who escaped. Open the city gate quickly!"
"No, you said you are the Bauhinia Army, you are the Bauhinia Army, what if you are from the Black Blood Nation and wear the uniforms of the Bauhinia Army to trick me into opening the city gate?"
"Damn it, the commander of the guards of a small city dare not let us in. I have never been so angry! Why don't we go together and take Qingfeng City down!" Shen Yan yelled.
Shi Qi stood up and said, "Forget it, let me do it!"
"Brother, can you do it?"
Seventeen shouted loudly towards the city wall: "Jiang Jiankai, I'm Chen Pengfei, open the door quickly!"
"You think you are wearing a mask, you are Chen Pengfei?" Jiang Jiankai looked at Shiqi with some doubts and continued, "Do you have any proof?"
"Bai Feifei..." Seventeen called out a name and asked, "Do you need me to be more specific?"
"No need, no need, you are my brother Chen, absolutely right!" Jiang Jiankai hurriedly stopped Seventeen from continuing to speak, and then his figure disappeared on the city wall.
Shen Yan was a little surprised and said: "I can't tell, brother Chen is very popular!"
Seventeen smiled and said nothing.
His cooperative relationship with Jiang Jiankai is hard to say.
Not long after, the gates of the city opened, and Jiang Jiankai smiled and went out to greet them warmly, "Brother Chen, brother Chen, hurry up and enter the city."
After Seventeen introduced Shen Yan, the commander of the Bauhinia Army, Jiang Jiankai was frightened into a cold sweat.
Simply because the Bauhinia Army, who had just suffered a defeat, needed to rest, Shen Yan also looked at it for Shi Qi's sake and didn't bother with him.
At the dinner table, Seventeen and the others also inquired about the information with Jiang Jiankai, and learned that the Bauhinia Army's large forces had withdrawn to Bauhinia City, and the city guard commanders on the border had received the news and entered a wartime state, allowing them to strengthen their defenses. The Black Blood Nation may attack aggressively at any time.
As for why the Bauhinia Army returned to Bauhinia City, Jiang Jiankai did not receive a clear notice at the time.
Now, Jiang Yankai understands.
Rest in the city for two days, and leave some soldiers whose injuries have deteriorated and are not suitable to continue on the road. Jiang Jiankai will definitely take good care of them, and the others hurriedly set off in the direction of Bauhinia City.
