Chapter 403: After the Defeat

A hundred miles south of Sui'an City.

A huge team is moving forward rapidly, looking at the scale, there are as many as twenty or thirty thousand people, the long procession, lined up as a long snake on the official road, almost at a glance can not see the end, look around, in the field of vision, there is a banner waving.

It's just such a huge team, look closely, but you can't see half of the majesty and majesty, they are advancing very fast, fast more like a rout, and then take a closer look, although the size of the team is huge, but the soldiers inside are all disheveled, lost their armor and embarrassed appearance, it is a rout army that has just suffered defeat.

At the front of the team, more than a dozen figures on horseback led the team in the direction of the front, looking at their equipment, it should be the general of this team, but even they had a look of exhaustion and frustration in their eyes that could not be concealed, and they looked dejected.

There was silence all around, and only the sound of birds in the valley in the distance could be heard, and the rustling footsteps of the advancing soldiers, all of them lowered their heads and moved forward silently, and a gust of autumn wind blew, which added a bit of gloom.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, a horse quickly greeted the direction of the team from not far away, came to the figure at the front of the team, arched his hand at him, and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?"

The person who was called "Your Highness" by that person raised his head, looked at the figure who had just rushed over, and saw that his face was a little angry and heavy, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and faintly had a bad premonition.

Just suffered a defeat. It already made him feel angry, for him. It's already a shame to be driven out like a lost dog in such a mess. If any bad news comes, he's going to go crazy.

"Tonglu County has been captured, and Changsheng, Xu Fang, Zhang Jinren, Li Tianyou, and Wu Zhi have also died in battle...... "The person who came over earlier said to His Highness with a heavy face.

"What?" After hearing his words, His Highness turned his face sharply and looked at the person in front of him with a look of disbelief, as if he thought his ears had misheard, and it was only after seeing his heavy face that he really confirmed the news. For a while, his face was a little cloudy, ugly and scary.

"Moreover, now that the princess has not heard from her, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid that at this time, it is also a lot of bad luck......" The man glanced at him, hesitated, and then continued to say to him, although the latter words were not spoken, but his meaning was already very clear.

"My sister she ......" heard the news. The man's face was even more gloomy, and he muttered, making people look into his eyes. I don't know what is in his mind.

This person is none other than the Manichaean prince stationed in Quzhou. Fang Tianding, who was enthroned as the king of Annam.

It's just that before yesterday, Quzhou where he was stationed. was attacked by more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and was defeated and retreated all the way. In the end, the two sides had a decisive battle outside the city of Quzhou, after a fierce battle that was somewhat tragic, Fang Tianding's side was defeated, and the general of the general who protected the country was killed here, Fang Tianding could only take more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers, and fled one hundred and twenty miles in one night, and went north in a hurry along the way, and went straight to the direction of Sui'an City.

Fang Tianding is the prince of Manichaeism, he is strong in martial arts, and his subordinates are even more fierce generals, but at this time, he is in a hurry like a lost dog, which makes him feel that he is really ashamed of his life, but the matter has come to this, and he has also heard that not only Quzhou, which he guarded, but also other places in the sect, were attacked by the officials and troops at the same time, and they were defeated and retreated, so even if Fang Tianding was unwilling, he could only listen to the advice of the advisers under his account, go north to Muzhou, join forces with his father, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

It's just that he didn't expect that the current situation in Muzhou, the base camp of the sect, was also eroded to such a point at this time, and the entire eastern part of Muzhou, Muzhou City, Shouchang, Fenshui and other places had been captured, plus the news he had just gotten, as the base camp of the Holy Sect, there were only two cities left in Muzhou, Sui'an and Qingxi.

Originally, a behemoth that spanned five counties in six states and had millions of sect members, it had actually fallen to such a point at this time, it was really a waning day, which made people sigh, especially in the hearts of Fang Tianding and the others, there was a faint sense of sadness.

They all couldn't understand why it was only half a month before and after, why it was showing a devastating trend, like a fallen domino, almost collapsing on the whole line, this situation made them a little confused.

Even his sister, the holy daughter and princess of the Holy Sect, had lost their news at this time, although Fang Tianding had always been a little suspicious of his own sister, but after really getting the news that she might die, he still felt uncomfortable for a moment.

Even he himself couldn't describe the complicated feelings in his heart at this time.

"What do you say, my brother is dead? How did he die? And at this time, when everyone was in a heavy mood because of the news just now, a roar suddenly sounded.

Everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, and saw that the general of Zhenguo, Li Tianyan, widened his eyes at this time, staring at the person who had just come over, and his expression looked like he was almost being eaten alive, perhaps because of anger, his face looked a little distorted at this time, making it difficult to associate the extremely hideous man in front of him, and the free and easy calendar of the day.

At this time, when Li Tianyu heard the news that Li Tianyou had just died in battle, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then soon, almost crazy.

He and Li Tianyou have been dependent on each other since childhood, even when they were apprentices, the two were inseparable, and Li Tianyan also knew that Li Tianyou's strength was not much worse than his own, but all along, because of his identity, his younger brother could only succumb to the position of a twenty-four general in Jiangnan, and he never got the slightest promotion, and for all this, Li Tianyou never complained, everything was because he was his brother, so for his younger brother, He was full of guilt, thinking that it was because of his own reasons that he had lost a lot of things, and originally thought that he would overthrow Qi Gou in the future and compensate for his life's glory and wealth, but before he saw this day, he heard the news of his brother's death.

Thinking of the younger brother who had been following him and had been longing for him, and now he was actually dead, this news simply made Li Tianyan feel that the sky had fallen, and he couldn't wait to rush over immediately, catch the enemy who killed his younger brother, and then cut him with thousands of knives and broken corpses.

And the people around him, seeing Li Tianyan's reddened beard and staring eyes, didn't say anything for a while, so as not to touch the mold.

"Heavenly Leap!" When Fang Tianding came back to his senses, he looked at the subordinates behind him, and they also looked a little dejected and sad, obviously, in their hearts, the status of his sister was much higher than he imagined, which couldn't help but make him a little vigilant, but fortunately, this threat was no longer there, and there were still so many sect members behind him, waiting for him to lead them to recast the glory of the former Holy Sect, so Fang Tianding regained his spirits, After seeing the crazy appearance of Li Tianyan just now, Fang Tianding on the side finally couldn't help but speak, and stopped him lightly.

Hearing Fang Tianding's words, Li Tianding turned his face violently, staring at Fang Tianding, the crazy look in his eyes, even if Fang Tianding saw it, there was a moment of cold, after a while, Fang Tianding reacted, and shouted at Li Tianyan with a calm face: "Li Tianyan, what's the matter, do you still want to make a move on this prince?" ”

Fang Tianding's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Li Tianyan's head, making him gradually calm down, and after hesitating for a moment, he had a strong unwilling look in his eyes, and said to Fang Tianding dryly: "Your Highness, the younger brother of your subordinates ...... He died in battle! ”

After hearing Li Tianyan's words, Fang Tianding's originally gloomy face gradually eased, and he said slowly: "Of course I know that God blessed him to die in battle, and I also know the grief in your heart at this time, but if you want revenge, don't I want to?" You know, my sister, Princess Jinzhi, she is also very lucky, and said sadly, this prince is only a lot more than you in his heart, but if you know this, you can take revenge! ”

Fang Tianding's gaze turned to Nanli General Shi Bao on the side: "How far is it from Sui'an?" ”

"There are still a hundred miles or so!" Hearing Fang Tianding's words, Shi Bao looked around, and then replied softly.

"Speed up! Strive to arrive in Sui'an City tomorrow! Fang Tianding said loudly, as he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Li Tianyan and the other subordinates behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I know that everyone must be very sad and depressed in their hearts now, but don't forget, we are all men who stand up to the sky, our enemies, those hateful Qi dogs, are still eyeing us around, just like evil dogs, ready to bite off a piece of fat from the Holy Sect at any time, and for them, we have to hold our breath, Then keep the shame and hatred you have received today in your heart for the time being, turn them into strength, and when you are at Sui'an, unite and concentrate all your strength, even the Bengali are all taken back from those Qi dogs! ”

Listening to Fang Tianding's words, the eyes of everyone, which had become extremely gloomy, were lit up again at this time, they gritted their teeth, dragged their exhausted bodies, and once again firmly walked in the direction of Sui'an City......
