It's another thing to say that dozens of shuttle darts flew out of the smoke together, although the armor on the soldiers' bodies could help them block most of the shuttle darts, but there were still people who were hit, such a long shuttle dart hit an unlucky soldier's throat without protection, and blood splattered everywhere on the spot, and the handle of such a long gun was inserted into the person, even after falling to the ground, it continued to shake.

These soldiers who came to Ximen to assist were not soldiers of the same battalion, they did not train together on weekdays, and the commanders of the flags at the grassroots level did not belong to each other, and when Lan Ziyi ordered them to march in formation, they could still maintain the same formation because of their high morale and the inertia of training on weekdays. But when Lan Ziyi ordered them to retreat, chaos ensued.

This kind of confusion was inevitable, and the team that had just been moving forward was about to turn around. In fact, as long as the team walked away under Lan Ziyi's order, and the officers at all levels followed suit, the chaos would soon disappear, but now that the demon thieves have attacked, the form has become very bad.

The sudden attack made the people in the formation panic, the screams of the soldiers who won the bid and fell to the ground shocked the surrounding sergeants, and the smoke billowing around was full of murderous opportunities, which made people fearful, and the soldiers could not even hear the voice of the demon thief and suffered an attack, at this time in what direction should they defend? What's next?

Lan Ziyi was afraid of this situation, so he ordered the sergeants to retreat, but it was too late. At this point, he had to find a way to hold his ground, and the thieves' shuttles were coming towards the left flank, so he shouted orders to the sword and shield men behind him to line up to defend in this direction.

Before, Lan Ziyi arranged for sword and shield men and soldiers with short soldiers to defend on both wings, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's roar, these soldiers immediately lined up in the direction where the demon thief threw the shuttle dart just now. But what Lan Ziyi didn't expect was that the sword and shield men who were lined up behind the whole army and lined up on the right flank to defend also moved forward after hearing the order. The team had been scattered when they had retreated, but now there were people walking in the opposite direction in all directions, and the fear of the demon thief's attack had caused the entire army formation to waver.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi scolded these sergeants for being stupid, and he shouted orders to withdraw from the right flank and the sergeants who came from behind, but the chaotic situation overwhelmed his orders, no matter how he waved his hands and yelled, those sergeants were still squeezed together in confusion, and the scene slipped out of control little by little.

At the same time, the demon thieves attacked, the flames and smoke provided cover for the demon thieves, they roared out of the fog, everywhere in all directions, even Lan Ziyi could not tell how many demon thieves came, and the sword and shield men who defended in other directions were crowded in the crowd at this time, the left wing of the whole formation, and now the whole army was attacked by the demon thieves everywhere.

The long lance arranged by Lan Ziyi at the front was originally used to open the way, but after the order to retreat was given, these long lance men put away their long weapons that were laid flat and began to turn around. Lan Ziyi's order was to move the front to the rear of the palace, and he didn't mean to let these long lancers turn around on the spot, but now it's too late to say anything, as soon as the demon thieves attack, these long weapons have nowhere to place, and if you want to put them flat and defend outward, you have to meet your own people in other directions, there is no unified command and arrangement, these soldiers are not as good as martial artists who fight alone, and the short soldiers of the demon thieves do not have to touch the official army and the gun formation have already touched the edge of the official army.

Lan Ziyi had to stabilize the military formation, but he couldn't command the whole army by roaring alone, so he pulled a sergeant next to him with one hand and said to him:

"You, immediately go and give orders to the group of sword and shield men who are rushing over, and tell them to stop!"

But the sergeant who was caught by Lan Ziyi lost his mind and said:

"I'm not a captain, I'm not a flag chief, I'm just a small soldier, I can't pass orders, I can't pass on ......"

Lan Ziyi looked at the panicked sergeant in front of him with wide eyes, this soldier was not a few years older than Lan Ziyi, but the sergeant's insight was worlds apart from Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi read from the sergeant's face that he was frightened, godless, and numb, and what Lan Ziyi felt at this time was despair.

Lan Ziyi, who was shocked, was relieved of his hand, and the sergeant who was caught by him was fascinated by the words, and then was squeezed to another place by the other people surging next to him.

Lan Ziyi sighed, raised his head and looked around, he had been infected by the sergeant just now, and his mind was numb, his ears seemed to be sealed, and he couldn't hear any sound; His eyes seemed to be covered, and he could see everything vaguely and slowly.

Lan Ziyi saw that the left-wing sword and shield men who he had high hopes for were barely lined up in a line to block the impact of the demon thieves, and behind the sword and shield hands in this line, the soldiers with long soldiers were struggling to adjust their formations and prepare to face the battle. But this kind of resistance only appeared in a corner, and the rest of the whole formation had been close to the demon thieves, and the formation and organization relied on by the officials and troops were completely gone, and the arrogance of the demon thieves who followed the fire continued unabated.

One after another, the soldiers fought with the demon thieves in the same place, but they were only individuals, even if there were reinforcements behind them, and comrades next to them could not get any help, and in the face of the demon thieves, officers and soldiers faced with the life and death of three demon thieves at the same time, the friendly troops around him may still be busy crowding other places. The blade in the hand of the demon thief cannot cut through the iron armor of the official army, but at this time, it can be used to slaughter soldiers without scrupulousness. At this point in the war, even if there are many officers and soldiers, they have become a group of lambs to the slaughter, and they have no power to fight back.

Lan Ziyi had already fallen into a trance, and the soldiers around him only knew hoarse roaring, cursing, and aimlessly crowding in all directions at this time, but they forgot that there was such a main general as Lan Ziyi beside him. No one asked Lan Ziyi for orders, and Lan Ziyi himself had no way to react, and at this time there was only one question echoing in his mind, that is, what to do.

In the past, no matter how dangerous the form was, Lan Ziyi was guarded by someone, and the three of Tao Zhuhu, Tao Zhulu, and Tao Zhutu never left Lan Ziyi's side, and even when he dragged Tao Zhutu to escape for his life just now, there was Yueshan to protect him. Lan Ziyi had never thought carefully about his life before, maybe he had thought about it, but he had always relied on the people around him to protect, so he didn't have to pay attention to this matter at all, but now there was no one to protect him, and when Lan Ziyi led the team alone, he couldn't even pass on the military order, and there was a big reason why the team was like this and Lan Ziyi's orders couldn't be followed.

The fear of death hit Lan Ziyi's heart again. If Lan Ziyi is afraid of death, it is slander, he took the lead in rushing into battle, he has been born and died I don't know how many times, just now he was in danger and was almost caught up by the demon thief and did not give up the peach and rabbit, he Lan Ziyi will not be afraid of death. But this does not mean that Lan Ziyi does not have fear in the face of death, even animals have the desire to survive, how can there be fewer people, if it is a person, he will be afraid of death, Lan Ziyi is a human being, he also has fear, especially now that he is helpless, he is even more afraid.

A person who is not afraid of death has a fear in the face of death, then his fear will not consume his heart like ordinary people. Instead, this fear of death will become an elixir in the warrior's mind, allowing him to focus on finding a way to live, rather than numbing his mind and allowing him to cross the line of life and death in the chaos.

In the chaos, Lan Ziyi was once again cleansed by the desire to survive aroused by fear, and the question "what to do" echoing in his mind finally found an answer in his heart, but this answer was definitely not what Lan Ziyi wanted to admit, because it meant that Lan Ziyi abandoned the army and fled.

Lan Ziyi, who was frightened by the idea of "running away", completely sobered up, his honor and his belief made him want to hold his ground and fight to the death, but his reason was questioning him whether it was worth dying here.

Lan Ziyi looked around, but the entire battle situation had deteriorated quite a little bit just now. The only one who could line up to fight with the demon thief before the left wing of the whole army has been mixed with the demon thief, it is difficult to distinguish each other, and the other directions are full of holes by the demon thief's impact, and the official army that has attacked and punished each other with the demon thief is now completely warn, just trying to get out, and what is even worse is that the demon thief has gone around to the back of the official army, and it only takes a moment to block the retreat of the official army and surround Lan Ziyi and them.

At this point, the form is bound to fail. But Lan Ziyi can see clearly, there are not many thieves, there are so many people at the moment, as long as they can be organized, the demon thieves who fish in troubled waters are not opponents at all, Lan Ziyi still has extravagant hopes in his heart, he wants to turn the tide and reorganize the army.

It's just that when luck is backed, it will only be more back, not the most, when the army's heart is shaken, the big tent is on fire.

I don't know if it's a thief or an official army, anyway, someone suddenly pointed to the big tent and screamed:

"Look! The manager's tent is on fire! ”

Lan Ziyi, who was still hesitating, immediately turned around and looked over there when he heard this, although there was fire all around, Lan Ziyi still saw the fire of the big tent at first sight. What a big flame it was, Lan Ziyi only saw this kind of fire in the prairie outside the Saiwai in his impression, it was like a bonfire on the flat ground, strong, gorgeous, and devastating, but it would burn all people's hopes.

Looking at the firelight, Lan Ziyi said stupidly:

"King De still escaped!"

The rain is so heavy, Lan Ziyi lit a fire at the west gate and is far away from the big tent, it is impossible for the fire here to spread over and ignite the big tent, and suddenly such a big fire can only be put by his own people from the tent, and the rare treasures that King De piled up in the tent must be very wonderful to burn.

The sergeants beside Lan Ziyi were all stunned when they saw the firelight, and the officers and soldiers who were still moving blindly before were illuminated by this fire, and now they all turned around and fled.
