An hour later.

"Why haven't they arrived yet. Ye Shikai led the guards to guard at the entrance of the cave, most of the troops have been evacuated, but there is no news from the rear guard battalion and the ironclad army, even Shangguan Jian, who went to support, has no news, he has sent three groups of people to investigate, but no one has returned, and the sound of fighting in the distance has gradually subdued, and he can't help but start worrying in his heart......

"It's almost there. Suddenly, the voice of the sword soul came from his head, and Ye Shikai was shocked and happy at the same time.

"Really, fake. "Ye Shikai knows the ability of the sword soul, he has divine sense, although he has no vision, he can see things thousands of miles away, since it has said so, then they must be safe.

"Sword Soul, how long will they arrive. ”

Knock, knock, knock.

"General, we're back. Before the sword soul could speak, there was a shout from a full warehouse in the distance, as well as the sound of horses' hooves.

"Haha, hurry up. Ye Shikai laughed out loud and immediately greeted him.

"General, we're back. Man Cang dismounted, knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Shikai, the heavy armor on his body was already tattered, his chest, several fatal armor on his abdomen were full of knife marks, and a bloody wound on his left arm and shoulder looked shocking, and then looked at the ironclad sergeant behind him, all of them were covered with wounds and panting, which showed how fierce the battle was just now.

"Lao Ye, everyone is back, let's leave quickly. Shangguan Jian rode a horse and whipped and came from the rear with the guards.

"Okay, everyone quickly retreat into the cave, the Qin army will catch up soon. Ye Shikai ordered.

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

The entrance to the cave is not big, it is enough for four or five people to pass side by side, Ye Shikai first let the cavalry withdraw, and the infantry lined up outside, and withdrew in turn.

"Hurry up, hurry up. ”

"Report, the Qin army's pursuers are about to catch up. ”

"Speed up. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, they were competing with the Qin army for speed, if they hadn't finished withdrawing when the Qin army came, then there was only one dead end left.

"Old Ye, it's all gone. Shangguan Jian shouted loudly, as the last soldier entered the cave, Ye Shikai's heart finally fell, and at the same time, dozens of Qin soldiers had already rushed over, only fifty meters away from everyone.

"The thieves will be there, chasing and killing them. ”

"Kill. ”

"Kill. ”

"Lao Ye, let's go into the cave, the Qin army is about to kill. Shangguan Jian shouted loudly, and Ye Shikai pushed him into the cave, took out a few pieces of explosives from the storage ring, and placed them at the door of the cave.

"Old Ye, what are you doing with those blocks. ”

"Don't say it, let's go. Ye Shikai pulled Shangguan Jian and threw himself directly to the ground, took out the controller with the other hand, and pressed the button.

Boom, boom.

There were two loud noises at the door, and the strong shock wave almost lifted the two away, and the war horse was also frightened, this is modern explosives, in this era when firearms have not been used in war, it can be described as a "novelty", of course, novelty is novelty, this power is not something that ordinary people can bear.

After the explosion, the earth and rocks above the cave fell one after another, blocking the entrance to the cave.

"Ahem, what is this, it's so powerful. Shangguan Jian coughed a few times and stretched out his hand to disperse the dust in the air, he had never seen such a thing, so he was naturally curious.

"What is this, the earth shakes the mountains, and the power is so great. ”

"Yes, I don't know what kind of magic weapon the general used. ”

The sergeants next to him said one after another, their faces full of horror, but this "explosive" blew up the cave, blocking the pursuit of the Qin army, and also relieved everyone.

"Okay, I'll explain to you later, the army obeyed the order, retreated quickly, and then sealed this cave, there must be no mistake. Ye Shikai ordered.

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

The army withdrew along the road marked before, trotting all the way, speaking of which, this cave road actually ran through both sides of the mountain, which can be regarded as a "ghostly workmanship", but in order to block the Qin army, Ye Shikai could only blow it up, saying that he could not leave this road to the Qin army.

Boom, boom.

………………………………………………………………

"We ...... It's finally out. "The moment the sun shines on their faces, all the sergeants can't help but cheer and celebrate, this time they are brushing shoulders with death, if it is a long time to burn incense, they will die.

"Shangguan Jian, you send a herald to inform General Huo, tell him that we have all evacuated, and blocked the pursuit of the Qin army, let him lead the large army, and we are still in charge of the rearguard. Ye Shikai ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

"Mancang, how many troops do we have. Ye Shikai continued to ask.

"This ...... There are about seven thousand, and if it weren't for the general's proper command, I'm afraid it would ...... The thousands of wounded could not be saved. ”

"General, there are less than 400 of the old brothers in the Central Plains who followed us. Man Cang said suddenly, his expression suddenly fell, they were all fellow villagers, many even in the same village, but now they died in a foreign land, and there were less than four hundred people left.

"They're all good, and I'm the one who has caused them. ”

Ye Shikai walked alone on the cliff and set up a stone monument, the sergeants stepped forward one after another, their faces were solemn, the dead were the greatest, and the soldiers lined up silently.

"General, what are you doing. ”

"These brothers followed me and left their homeland in the hope that one day I would bring peace to them and their families, but I broke my promise. Ye Shikai took out the kettle, soaked the towel, carefully wiped the stele, and then took the sword from his waist and placed it in front of the stele.

"When people die, they always have a home, and we don't have time to take away their bodies, but there must be a place to bury their souls, and to set up a well-dressed grave here, which can be regarded as comforting their souls in heaven. Ye Shikai muttered, stood up, and bowed slowly in front of the stone monument.

"Brethren. Ye Shikai walked in front of the military formation and shouted loudly.

"You are all brothers who were born and died with me, it was my incompetence that made you die in a foreign land, today, the battle is over, but maybe you will enter the battlefield with me in the future, if you don't die today, it doesn't mean that tomorrow is fine, even if you don't die tomorrow, there is the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... Maybe none of us will live to the day when the world is peaceful. ”

"Mangkuang, how many of us are left. ”

"General Hui, counting those who can breathe, there are seven thousand two hundred and thirty-five people. ”

"Well, I will speak this to these seven thousand two hundred and thirty-five brothers today, and if any of you does not want to fight any more and wants to go home and live, I will not stop him. ”
