The matter of Yaowang Valley borrowing water sources has become famous in Yancheng, and it has plated a layer of gold on their glorious image of being benevolent and hanging pots to help the world, and they have become living bodhisattvas who save suffering and help the people in Yancheng.

The people of Yaowang Valley enjoyed this honor very much, and when they traveled, they saw the people welcoming them, and some of them even knelt down on the street to bow down, making them feel an unprecedented sense of achievement and honor, and their hearts were greatly satisfied.

Qi Wuwei did not stand up and say who discovered the water source from beginning to end, Shen Congwen and other high-level disciples of the Medicine King Valley had an ambiguous attitude, they knew that the water source was not discovered by the Medicine King Valley, but they did not go to the bottom of the matter, explore and clarify the truth of the matter.

......

Wan Qiuqing led 2,000 light horsemen to gallop along the Yanbei Road, rested for only one hour that night, and finally joined the retreating army at ten o'clock at noon on the second day. Wan Qiuqing didn't want to delay for a moment, and went straight to the commander-in-chief's line to find Marshal Jin Wu to ask about the latest battle situation and the news of the Left Route Army. Two thousand light horsemen stood by to rest, and hurried to feed the waiting horses.

War horses and horses are specially made, and they are mixed with many elixirs, and they can be full of physical strength as long as they eat a little, otherwise how can they withstand this long-distance travel of almost a day and a night. However, even after eating the special horse feed, the war horse still showed fatigue.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but feel distressed in his eyes, this day and night of hard work and resentment, endure humiliation and heavy long-distance travel, let him have some feelings for the war horse under the crotch, busy with the massage techniques learned from the cavalry last night to relax the muscles of the war horse, and after a while, the war horse's mouth let out a comfortable moan.

The retreating army passed by, and although it was orderly, it could clearly feel the declining morale that had collapsed after the defeat.

Looking at their anxious, nervous and frightened eyes, Zhang Xiaopaw felt that they were like frightened birds, if the big tooth army came from behind the butt at this time, most of them would not need real knives and guns, just beat the drum and shout to kill twice, they could scare them into losing their armor.

"They are all urgently recruited soldiers from the refugee camp, and it is not easy for them to retreat in an orderly manner after being attacked by the main force of the Big Tooth Army. Zhou Jianlai sighed.

Zhang Xiaopu still remembered that on the roof of Juxian Restaurant, Qi Yoyo had said that if she gave her 50,000 elite cavalry, she would be able to contain 1.3 million troops urgently recruited from the refugee camp, and if she gave her 100,000 elite cavalry, she would be able to kill 1.3 million troops.

Although this number eventually grew from 1.3 million to 1.8 million, the combat power probably did not increase much, otherwise the 1.8 million army would not have been defeated or defeated. To put it mildly, even if 1.8 million people stood there and let the Big Tooth Army cut and slaughtered, they would have to be cut for several days.

Thinking of Qi Yoyo's unsuccessful career, and now his whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are unknown, Zhang Xiaopu's worries and anxieties that he forced in his heart poured out, but he was immediately forced down again, because he knew that worry and anxiety were useless except for self-confusion.

"Hold on, we'll come to save you right away!" Zhang Xiaopaw subconsciously clenched his fists and silently cheered for Qi Yoyo in his heart.

Half an hour later, Wan Qiuqing twisted her brows and turned back, just looking at the solemn and gloomy look on her face, she could guess that the situation was not optimistic.

"The Big Tooth Army is in hot pursuit, less than twenty miles behind them, and may launch a surprise attack on our army at any time. As soon as Wan Qiuqing opened his mouth, it was bad news that made people's hearts sink, "The preliminary estimate is that there are more than 1.6 million troops, and they are well-equipped regular troops. They blocked the entire eastern and western fronts, pursued our army and steadily advanced towards Yancheng. What I want to say is that we need to break through the blockade line of the Big Tooth Army and go behind enemy lines, because Marshal Jin told me just now that the Left Route Army was scattered by the Big Tooth Army and retreated to the north in a panic, and now it has either been completely wiped out or captured, or it is still trapped somewhere behind the front of the Big Tooth Army waiting for reinforcements to rescue it. And the most terrible situation is that the Big Tooth Army deliberately besieged the Left Army without attacking, using them as bait to set many traps, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net. So—"

Wan Qiuqing's tone paused, and he raised his voice slightly and shouted: "This is an extremely irrational action, I can't force you to go with me, because I have selfish intentions to save the Left Route Army, my son and daughter are in the Left Route Army, I must go to save them." To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses. If any of you don't want to go, you will retreat with the army. Note that this is not an escape, but a rational choice, so no one will laugh at you and despise you. If there is, it must be laughing at the stupidity of those who stay. ”

The team fell silent.

More than 1,600,000 regular troops of the Great Tooth are menacing, and they are only 2,000 people, and if they want to break through the blockade line and rush behind enemy lines, they also have to trample through the trap that the enemy may have already set and wait for them to throw themselves into the net.

Wan Qiuqing, who was anxious all the way, was not in a hurry this time, and gave everyone a full quarter of an hour to think about it, and finally thirty-five people chose to quit.

When these thirty-five people left, their faces were red, and they didn't dare to raise their heads in shame, but no one laughed at them, as Wan Qiuqing said, this is not an escape, this is a wise choice.

"All you guys left behind are fools. Wan Qiuqing's eyes flushed slightly, "I only thank and thank you as a mother, I promise you that if you die in a glorious battle, your family City Lord's Mansion will help you take care of it, and if you don't die in a great disaster, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely give you an extremely rich reward." In addition, I, Wan Qiuqing, give each of you another promise, if I Wan Qiuqing is lucky not to die in battle, I can help you or your family to do something, as long as it does not violate the way of chivalry, it is within my ability that Wan Qiuqing can do, I will do my best to do it. ”

The lady of the city lord of Yancheng, a half-step powerful promise, everyone was amazed when they heard it, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

"Thank you, madam, I am willing to saddle the horse and charge for my wife, and die without regrets!" Zhao Quan's right fist was attached to the knight's badge on his chest, and he bowed to Wan Qiuqing to thank him.

"I am willing to saddle the horse and charge forward for my wife, and die without regrets!" Everyone else also followed and saluted Wan Qiuqing.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Wan Qiuqing's eyes were ruddy, and he was deeply moved by the people in front of him who knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but still chose to stay, took a deep breath to suppress the agitated emotions, turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Let's go!"

Going any further, they would plunge headlong into the arms of the enemy's large army, and Wan Qiuqing led the team down the official road and went west along a small road.

Although the Big Tooth Army blocked the eastern and western fronts, there must be a weak defensive position, and if they want to break through the blockade and go behind the enemy's back, they must find this weak position and break through it.

The team had just marched a mile to the west, when a group of cavalry suddenly chased behind them, and at a glance there were about 2,000 men and horses, led by a handsome young man wearing silver armor and carrying a silver gun.

Zhang Xiaozhu and the three of them walked at the end of the team, and when they heard the sound, they looked back, their eyes fell on the silver-speared youth, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they praised in their hearts: "What a brave and handsome general!"

I saw him take the lead, and shouted in a deep and loud voice: "Madam, wait a minute, the boy will go with you to save Yoyo Sister." ”

Wan Qiuqing heard the shouts from behind, immediately slowed down, turned around and saw the young man's face from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised and responded: "Haotian, why are you here? You are the commander of the Right Route Army, you are here, what should the Right Route Army do? There is no child's play in the army, but you can't let your temperament come around." ”

"Madame, don't worry, the kid knows the severity and doesn't dare to come nonsense. The young man with the silver spear replied, "The boy was ordered by Marshal Jin to come to help his wife." ”

The silver-speared young man is not an outsider, it is Li Haotian, who was promoted to the position of general and is responsible for commanding the 300,000 troops on the right side.

The genius of the Li family, Li Haoran's brother, Li Haotian.

When Zhang Xiaopaw heard Wan Qiuqing's name for Li Haotian, they immediately knew his identity, and the three of them couldn't help touching their noses, and their hearts tightened. They knew that they had a deep contradiction with the Li family, and they naturally alerted themselves to Li Haotian in their hearts.

"Thank you Marshal Jin for your help!" Wan Qiuqing hurriedly thanked him in the direction of the army, then looked at Li Haotian and said, "With the help of the young general, it is like a tiger with wings!"
