While resisting the attack of Batu's army, Jiuhuang led the Celestial Empire's army, which was only a few thousand behind him, to retreat to the south.

"Prince, Jiuhuang, are they retreating towards the desert on the border of the Red Country?"

The adjutant general looked at the retreating Nine Phoenix and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and came to Bass's side and said.

Hearing the adjutant general's words, Bas glanced at Jiuhuang and the others, who could already be described as embarrassed. Watching them retreat towards the desert, a hint of disdain flashed through Bass's heart.

The desert on the border of the Red Kingdom is in danger except for the name, does Jiuhuang think that retreating to the desert will escape his army? Really delusional.

"Send a large army to pursue them, you must capture Jiuhuang alive, if you can't catch them, just kill them directly."

Bas was looking at the Celestial Empire army that was fighting with Batu's army in the distance, and ordered to the lieutenant general beside him.

When the adjutant general heard Ba's words, he immediately said to the Batu army: "Pursue the soldiers of the Celestial Empire and capture the Nine Phoenix alive." ”

And Jiuhuang, Baili and the others, who were retreating here, had already heard the adjutant general's order to Batu's army, and Baili said with a worried face: "County Lord, it seems that Bass's intention is to catch you to make the Celestial Empire compromise!" ”

Jiuhuang was speechless when he heard the words of Baili.

Bass wanted to capture her to make the Celestial Empire compromise, which was simply impossible. She is just a feudal lord of the Celestial Empire, not a true royal family member of the Celestial Empire, not to mention, how could a huge Celestial Empire compromise with Batu because she was a woman? Jiuhuang had to say that Bass's idea was too clever enough.

And she, before the revenge is not avenged, she will not let herself die like this, even if her current situation is unprecedentedly dangerous, but Jiuhuang's heart still wants to do her best to get out of the siege of Batu's army.

At this time, Batu's army was getting closer and closer to the army of the Celestial Empire, Jiuhuang looked at the Batu army that was constantly pursuing in front of him, and then looked back at the desert not far behind him, and finally seemed to have made a major decision, facing the remaining soldiers of the Celestial Empire who were trying their best to resist the attack of Batu's army, and said: "Soldiers, speed up, let's enter the desert behind us as soon as possible." ”

When the soldiers heard the words of the Nine Phoenix, they fought more and more hard to resist Batu's army, and finally after some desperate resistance, only nearly two thousand people from the Celestial Empire followed the Nine Phoenix into the desert successfully, and the rest of the Celestial Empire's army all died under the sword of Batu's army.

Seeing that Jiuhuang had led the remaining Celestial Empire army to flee to the desert, and looked at the bright moon that was still as bright as snow before and became much darker, Bas ordered the Batu army to stop the pursuit of the Celestial Empire army, and the whole army camped outside the desert and waited.

"Prince, why don't we directly pursue the Nine Phoenixes, there is not much left of the Celestial Empire army in her hands, we still have tens of thousands of troops, as long as we take advantage of the victory to pursue, we will definitely be able to catch the Nine Phoenixes?"

The adjutant general asked suspiciously, watching Bass order to suddenly stop the army and garrison it outside the desert.

Bas glanced at his lieutenant general, and then looked at the figure that could no longer be seen under the moonlight and the army of the Nine Phoenix leading the Celestial Empire to disappear in the desert. Then he slowly spoke: "Jiuhuang is a person of the Celestial Empire, they can't survive in the desert at all, we just need to wait until they can't stand the hunger and get out of the desert by themselves, we can catch them immediately." ”

After hearing Bath's words, the adjutant said to Bass with a smile: "I see, the prince is really the wisest and wisest candidate for the next king of Batu in Batu, that Bach is not the prince's opponent at all, and he still wants to compete with the prince for the position of king of Batu." ”

The adjutant had a face of complimenting Bass and belittling Bach, and the adjutant who was supposed to use this to pat Bass's ass did not expect that he actually slapped on the horse's leg.

Bass was enjoying the words of the adjutant general complimenting him, and before he had time to be happy for too long, the adjutant suddenly talked about Bach, and Bass's original happy mood was instantly extinguished, and he looked at the adjutant general coldly, and said: "So idle, take the soldiers to hunt for the prince and let the prince fill his stomach." ”

The adjutant general suddenly heard Bass's words and felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't understand where he said something wrong. But looking at Bass's cold glance, the adjutant swallowed the grievances in his heart, and then took a few soldiers to find prey for Bass in the middle of the night according to Bass's instructions.

When Jiuhuang led the army of the Celestial Empire into the desert, after seeing that the army of Batu behind him did not pursue again, Jiuhuang ordered the army of the Celestial Empire to stop and rest for a while.

The next day, the sky was covered with a white fish belly, and Jiuhuang's highly cautious heart was put down all night, at this time, Baili walked to Jiuhuang's approach, looked at Jiuhuang and said: "County Lord, now that the sky is dawning, Batu's army is still outside the desert, what are we going to do now?" ”

Hearing Baili's words, Jiuhuang stood up from the ground, looked at the faint Batu army outside the desert, and then looked at the endless desert behind him, and then Jiuhuang said: "I have heard for a long time that the desert on the border of the Red Kingdom is dangerous and abnormal, we must be cautious. ”

When Baili heard Jiuhuang's words, he said with some uncertainty: "Does the county lord mean that our army continues to walk towards the desert?" ”

Jiuhuang shook his head, although this is the desert at the junction of the Red Kingdom and Batu, but behind this desert, it is also the border connecting the Celestial Empire. Now Batu's army is guarding beyond the desert, waiting for us to go out and fight it all, so why don't she lead her army out of the desert to find a place to reach the border of the Celestial Empire.

"Beyond the desert is the border to the Celestial Empire, as long as we can find the right direction and get out of this desert smoothly, we will be able to return to the Celestial Empire."

This method is the only feasible way for them now, facing the Batu army that has no chance of victory, Jiuhuang believes that they still have at least a glimmer of hope in the desert, a glimmer of hope that they can get out of the desert and return to the Celestial Empire.

Outside the desert, Bas led a large army to garrison here, and from last night until now, he has not been able to see the figure of the Celestial Empire soldiers, let alone the figure of the Nine Phoenix.

"Prince, you said they wouldn't come out, did you? Nine phoenixes, they won't escape from the desert back to the Celestial Empire? ”

The lieutenant's voice sounded in his ears, and Bas glanced at the lieutenant general, thinking about the lieutenant's words in his heart, and before Bas could speak, another lieutenant said: "Prince, we are now going back to the capital city, if we delay the time here and let Prince Bach return to the capital city first, then it will be a great disadvantage to the prince." ”

The lieutenant's words reminded Bass that their priority now was to return to the capital, and if Bach was allowed to return to the capital city first, as the lieutenant said, then the Great Khan would definitely have an opinion of himself and look at Bach differently.

It's just that the Nine Phoenix is obviously in front of him, and Buzz doesn't want to miss this opportunity to catch the Nine Phoenix; If he catches the Nine Phoenix, even if Bach arrives in the capital city before him, the Great Khan will not look at Bach differently, but will favor him even more.

Thinking of this, Buzz first wanted to catch the Nine Phoenix's heart getting bigger and bigger, and while thinking about catching the Nine Phoenix as soon as possible and then returning to the capital city, he ordered the army to no longer wait for the Nine Phoenix to take the Celestial Empire soldiers out of the desert, but to lead the army towards the desert.

Here, Jiuhuang was leading the remaining Celestial Empire army to look for something in the desert, when suddenly a soldier suddenly said: "Oh no, Batu's army has entered the desert!" ”

Hearing the exclamation of the soldiers, Jiuhuang looked back and saw that Batu's army was walking densely towards the desert, and Jiuhuang didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately led the soldiers forward.

"Prince, look, that's the army of the Celestial Empire in front."

A scout spotted the figure of Jiuhuang and the others, and immediately turned to Bass.

When Buzz heard the scout's words, he looked in the direction that the scout was pointing at, it was Jiuhuang who walked forward with the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, Buzz was happy in his heart, and said to the Batu army beside him: "Quick, the army of the Celestial Empire is in front, hurry up and stop them, you must catch Jiuhuang." ”

After Bath's order, Batu's army pursued Jiuhuang and the others one after another.

Looking at the pursuit of the Batu army behind him, Jiuhuang led the army to run forward, unable to tell which direction in the desert, and did not know how long he had led the Lin army to run, but the Batu army behind him was still in hot pursuit.

Seeing that Batu's army caught up with the soldiers who fell behind him, Hisako had no choice but to stop moving forward and take the soldiers to fight again with Batu's army.

Originally, it was another fierce battle, but the sky is not as good as the people. The desert under my feet was still normal, but I didn't think that in an instant, the earth-like desert under my feet suddenly turned into mud, making people unable to take a step, and people gradually sank into the desert under their feet.

The sudden change made the hearts of the armies on both sides tremble, and Jiuhuang looked at her feet, which were slowly sinking into the mud and sand, and the feet were still sinking downward, and all the soldiers around her and around her were like this.

At this time, Baili, who was not far from her, suddenly said: "County Lord, we have encountered the killer of the desert - quicksand!" ”

Baili's words made Jiuhuang raise his head in his heart, look at Baili in disbelief, and said, "Quicksand!?" ”

Looking at Baili who nodded, a trace of despair flashed in Jiuhuang's heart. Although she didn't know about the desert, she had heard that the desert was full of dangers. Two killers in the desert - quicksand and storms.

I didn't expect that I would lead the army without words, and I spent a night in the desert, but I encountered a big killer in the desert - quicksand!

Looking up at the gloomy sky, he roared in his heart: Is it really the sky that is going to kill my nine phoenixes, so that I didn't die at the hands of the Batu people back then, failed to die under the poison of Batu, didn't die under the battlefield, and now I want to die in this desert?

No, Jiuhuang's heart is full of unwillingness, she is unwilling to die in the quicksand of the desert like this.
