Looking back at the zip lines hanging down the cliff, all the soldiers sighed, especially the Qi Martial Realm sergeants. At first, they felt that they were going to be abandoned and turned into cannon fodder. Unexpectedly, someone actually made them for them. A ladder of life made of ice crystals and snow finally came to life.
Many people's eyes fell on Qi Ying. It was this scout who built the ice ladder and helped them survive. His contribution was even greater than that of General Song Tianxing who blocked the road behind them.
"so close!"
"I almost thought I wouldn't survive!"
Everyone who had survived the disaster beat their chests and breathed out.
Nico hit Qi Ying on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You really belong to me! Building an ice ladder on the glacier cliff, no normal person would think of such a thing! Is it also a characteristic of your Putuomanla tribe?"
Qi Ying smiled slightly: "We hunters of the Putuo Manla tribe often use zip lines to pass when we encounter cliffs in the mountains and forests. I saw Nico's martial arts snow knife before, and suddenly thought of using zip lines to build ice ladders. ”
"Stop feeling emotional!"
Song Tianxing shouted: "Quickly evacuate the Mobei Mountains! Go towards the front line camp! I sent a messenger eagle to inform Marshal Huo that they will send troops to meet us on the snowfield!"
"yes!"
Everyone quickly prepared and headed towards the Mobei Mountains.
However, a small group of troops stopped.
Song Tianxing frowned and said, "Vice General Feng, you..."
Feng Daya covered his chest, grinned the corners of his mouth full of blood, forced a smile, and said: "No... The speed of Qi Martial Realm soldiers is still much slower than that of Ling Martial Realm... General Song, you and your brothers will retreat first, I will Take your own soldiers to cut off the rear!"
Then, he turned to the left and right, and looked at the sky again, with a trace of contempt in his eyes: "Look, their people are flying down... Boys, get out the Sky-breaking Crossbows and Spirit Crystal Cannons! Who is flying from the sky? , we will blow him to pieces!"
"Vice General Feng..."
Song Tianxing wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt stuck. He just said "take care" and led the remaining 1,600-strong army towards the outside of the Mobei Mountains.
Da Da Da!
The sergeants rushed on the glacier, rushing out along the river like a blue torrent.
There was a violent explosion from behind.
Qi Ying, who was gliding over the team, glanced back and found that the area where Vice Admiral Feng Daya was had turned into a sea of fire, and the Gilded Kingdom's army was rushing towards the glacier from there.
"Vice General Feng..."
Qi Ying was startled.
He originally thought that Feng Daya would join the army and retreat together like the previous times...
Next to him, Nico leaned over and sighed: "Vice General Feng knows that our speed is much slower than that of the Gilded Kingdom. If we want most of the people to withdraw, some people must be behind to hold the enemy back... He He is also a veteran who has been fighting for more than 20 years, and his qualifications are even older than General Song... "
“…”
Qi Ying didn't quite understand Feng Daya's approach. He asked himself, if the roles were reversed, he would definitely not stay and attack the stone with eggs. There are many ways to block the attack, and it does not necessarily have to be a life-and-death struggle. Just like breaking out, it does not necessarily have to be a fight. A way out, wouldn't it be good to create a way out
However, Qi Ying was still a little sad and sentimental when thinking of the disappearance of Lieutenant General Feng, who showed his big teeth when he smiled and looked like Uncle Jiao, the woodcutter who lived next door to his own house in Wuming City.
Not only Feng Daya, but also half of the hunting team's lives were lost in the Mobei Mountains... From front to back, it only took less than half an hour!
Qi Ying felt cold.
For the first time, he felt how cruel the war was. More than a thousand people died, each of whom had their own family. They may have been the only hope for their families, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir dream... I must live well..."
…
The distance was already wide, and the rear part of the hunting force directly held the Tiantian Crossbow on their shoulders, and kept throwing armor-piercing arrows and ordinary arrows to the rear, causing a lot of trouble for the Gilded Kingdom army. The cannonballs flew into the middle of the Gilded Kingdom team and directly shattered a large section of the glacier behind them.
Fighting while escaping, after half an hour, the hunting troops finally broke out of the Mobei Mountains and arrived on the snowfield.
The Gilded Kingdom army behind them was still hot on their heels.
This went on for half a day. On several occasions, it was thanks to the death squads led by officers like Feng Daya who generously sacrificed their lives to stay behind to block the enemy with sky-breaking crossbows and spiritual crystal cannons that the enemy was held back and the army was given time to retreat.
It was not until the hunting force was close to the military boundary between the Gilt Kingdom and the Yunxiao Kingdom that the Gilt Kingdom army withdrew, perhaps considering that the Yunxiao Kingdom's frontline army might have sent support.
During this period, the distance between the two armies did not even extend to eight hundred feet.
After another half an hour, the hunting force that was marching in a hurry finally encountered a mighty green army. The formation was so dense that Qi Yingyan had never seen before, and the number was so dense that it was impossible to count the number of people. There are tens of thousands.
"Adjutant Li?"
What made Qi Ying stunned was that the person leading the team turned out to be Li Jinyan, the adjutant of Baima Yicong. An adjutant with a team of a hundred people was actually capable of leading an army of more than 10,000 people.
As expected, Bai Mayi picked someone out of them at random, and he would be an elite outsider!
The two armies gathered and stopped.
Li Jin saw the hurried look of the hunting team just escaping. He sighed. After scanning it once, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where's Brother Feng?"
Song Tianxing didn't speak, just sighed.
Li Jinyan nodded silently.
The two parties skipped this matter with a tacit understanding. Song Tianxing briefly recounted what happened in the Mobei Mountains to Li Jinyan. Li Jinyan raised his head and sighed: "Sure enough! I was careless that day!"
"how?"
Song Tianxing was a little puzzled.
Could it be that Li Jinyan knew something was fishy
"Let's talk about it back to the camp." Li Jinyan glanced at the hunting team, "Take all the brothers back, recuperate those who need to be injured, and pay those who deserve pensions... Also, the army's rations are still with you! "
…
After returning to the frontline camp, Qi Ying rejoined Baima Yi and told Huo Baima what happened in the Mobei Mountains. The latter beat his chest and sighed: "If I had known this, I would have stayed in Mobei. In the Northern Mountains, we have a fight to the death with the gold-plated thieves! Vice Admiral Feng regards death as his own, he is truly a role model for our generation."
Hearing this, Qi Ying smiled coldly in his heart: Still fighting to the death? It's true that you dare to charge and kill. When the time comes, you will die to protect you, not to mention Deputy General Feng, and General Song will probably have to answer for it.
That night.
The atmosphere in the frontline camp was silent. Commander Huo Wuji summoned all senior officers above the deputy general level and held a military meeting in the middle of the night. After Li Jinyan came out of the tent, Huo Baima took Baima Yicong and left the frontline camp with him. , and rushed towards the Yumen Military Camp in the rear.
Qi Ying galloped to Li Jinyan and asked curiously: "Adjutant Li, a member of the Gilded Kingdom, suddenly appeared in the Mobei Mountains. What happened? I didn't detect any signs beforehand!"
Li Jin paused for a moment: "Well... I have to tell you sooner or later anyway... Judging from the intelligence, I'm afraid a formation master has appeared in the Gilded Kingdom, who can open up space to teleport formations! This time, the Mobei Mountains are targeting hunting troops. It’s possible that the ambush was just an experiment on their part!”
