In the evening, Gobard, Ma Hui, Rawell and others finally stopped.

At this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition was in disarray.

When he arrived, there were about 10,000 members of the coalition army, all of whom were soldiers composed of armies from various countries. At this moment, there are less than 1,000 soldiers following Gobard, Rawell and others, and these more than 1,000 people are all remnants of the defeated army, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low. Gobard sat on the ground, gasping for air, his wrinkled face wrinkled.

He clasped his hands on his knees, his chest rising and falling as he gasped.

After a long while, Gobard sighed and said, "Xi Changzhen is too ruthless, he made a plan early." At first, it was a constant defeat, and then a counterattack, which was an early morning attempt to ambush us. Ruthless, too ruthless! ”

"Xi Changzhen is Chinese, not indigenous to Vietnam. He was familiar with military books and knew the Chinese art of war. I think that when Li Zhen attacked Guangxi, he had suffered losses at the hands of Xi Changzhen. ”

Gobard exclaimed, "Commander Rael, why didn't you say it earlier if you knew that Xi Changzhen was so powerful!" ”

Stopsecillin also complained: "Yes, Your Excellency should have said it earlier, and we would not have lost so badly." ”

Seeing that the spearhead was aimed at Raywell, Ma Hui hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Okay, okay, it's useless to pursue responsibility again." Now, let's try to find a way to save the situation. If you lose this battle, you can't go back in disgrace! ”

Gobard rolled his eyes and said, "Xi Changzhen is not far behind Li Zhen, and there is almost no chance of winning against such a person, can we find a way to help?" This time, we're planting. If I knew this, I shouldn't have gotten into this troubled water, so that it is difficult to ride a tiger now, and it is not a battle, nor is it a withdrawal. ”

"Hey, where is Ruan Lele? Did you see Ruan Lele? ”

Ma Hui looked around and suddenly asked.

Rankford rolled his eyes and said: "At that time, Xi Changzhen's pursuers were killed, and the big guys only cared about fleeing for their lives, who cares about her life or death?" Now that she's defeated, it doesn't matter if she's not there. ”

Ma Hui said: "Your Excellency, Ruan Lele is a trump card in our hands. Even if we fail this time, it is very beneficial for us to have Ruan Lele in our hands. You immediately send soldiers to find out where Ruan Lele is, hoping not to be captured by Xi Changzhen's people, otherwise things will be difficult to do. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to check immediately!"

Rawell nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered the soldiers to search.

Everyone waited for the news, and soon, the soldier came back and reported: "Your Excellency, according to the information detected, the crown prince of the Nguyen dynasty, Nguyen Minh Duc, has been shot dead by the rebels in the process of escaping. Ruan Lele was taken away by a group of people, life and death are unknown! ”

"Oh, who are these people?" Earl groaned.

Gobard said: "I suspect it's Li Zhen's person!" Except for Li Zhen, no one will send someone specially. ”

"Yes, I agree too!" Ma Hui said.

The group determined that it was Li Zhen's people who rescued Ruan Lele, and returned to the topic to discuss how to fight this battle.

It's just that the people present have their own opinions, and they can't come up with a unified opinion.

At this time, a soldier ran over in a panic, raised his hand and saluted, and then said in a hurry: "Oh no, Xi Changzhen's army has caught up again, and it is only twenty minutes away from us." ”

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!!"

Rawell didn't think about it, and immediately ordered a retreat.

Ma Hui, Gobard and others also hurriedly stood up and continued to escape. I can't rest at night, so I can only continue to escape. Fortunately, it is June, and there is a round of moonlight hanging in the sky, and under the bright moonlight, you can still see the road ahead, so that you can escape quickly. The Eight-Nation Coalition was all about fleeing for their lives, and nothing else was going on.

It took about three hours to escape before he got rid of the pursuers behind him. The army came to rest under a mountain forest, and everyone gasped for breath, exhausted.

Gobard stopped, gasped, and said, "It's too ruthless, these people are too ruthless, and they can't let go of the death at night." ”

"I'm tired to death, Li Zhen didn't have to be so difficult at the beginning!"

Rawell's brow furrowed, tired enough.

"Wu Wenlong, under the general's account, is here, and the foreign dog will die quickly!"

When Earl and the others stopped to rest for a while, a loud shout suddenly came from the mountain forest. Immediately, shouts of killing came, messy gunshots rang out, and a group of soldiers rushed out, directly at Raywell, Gobard and others. This time, Gobard and the others were so frightened that they immediately ran away, and they didn't even have time to remind the soldiers behind them.

Shouts of killing resounded through the night sky, and the coalition soldiers ran forward.

This time, Gobard was hunted down in horror.

He cursed as he ran, thinking that God forbid, he must escape.

In fact, the people around him all had similar ideas, and they were all frightened by Xi Changzhen's methods. Although their legs were tired and weak, they all still had a breath to support them to run forward. Once they stop, the result they face is sure to be killed! From the first half of the night to the second half of the night, all the coalition forces were running forward, and it was only at about three o'clock in the second half of the night that the army stopped again.

Even if they stopped, Gobard and the others ordered people to be on guard, for fear that another army would come out. After a full hour, there was no movement around, and Gobard and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Rawell sat on the side and muttered in his mouth: "Xi Changzhen's guy is too terrifying, and he laid an ambush on the road early." How can he be sure that we will be defeated? How can we be sure that we will follow this path? This man is so cruel! ”

Gobard also nodded, thinking that Xi Changzhen was unstoppable.

"I think we should really think about how to fight this fight. I think it will be difficult to fight Xi Changzhen with our strength alone. The Chinese's art of war is too weird, let's be tricked without paying attention, these people's scheming is too powerful. Therefore, I think we have to find someone to contain Xi Changzhen! American envoy Ma Hui said with a serious expression.

Rawell said: "Your Excellency Ma Hui, do you mean to invite Li Zhen?" ”

Gobard frowned, and said in embarrassment: "At the beginning, we took the initiative to invite Ying to fight, and we also put aside Li Zhen's action. Now, I'm going to find Li Zhen to move the rescue soldiers, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

Ma Hui said: "If Xi Changzhen is allowed to get away with it, we will be really embarrassed." ”

Gobard thought about it for a while and said, "It's not impossible to save this face. The key issue is that we aggressively approached Li Zhen at the beginning, so that Li Zhen was not allowed to intervene in the war in Vietnam, and in the end, we took over the war. In Li Zhen's heart, he must be uncomfortable. It's not so easy to ask Li Zhen for help now. ”

Ma Hui said: "This is the first time that the eight countries have collectively interfered in the affairs of one country. If we don't solve it this time, and then interfere in the affairs of other countries in the future, who will believe us? Even if Li Zhen is embarrassed by us, we have to do it, and we must handle the affairs of Vietnam well in order to erect the majesty of the eight countries. Borrow Li Zhen to establish our prestige. ”

Gobard sighed lightly and said, "Okay, I'll go and beg Li Zhen!" ”
