For the sake of secrecy, the Tartars, who were frantically fleeing for their lives, did not light torches. Therefore, in a dark forest, no matter how fast they escaped, they couldn't go much faster.

And the Haw Par Army's pursuing force, because of the torches for lighting, coupled with the main Tartar force in front, has opened a ready-made road in the dense forest, and the Haw Par Army only needs to follow this road to pursue.

Even when maintaining physical strength for pursuit, the pursuit speed of the Haw Par Army is still higher than that of the Tartars.

Although the Tartars in front had lost all the equipment that might affect their pursuit, they pursued desperately.

However, the distance between the two forces continued to decrease little by little over time.

Soon, the figure of the Tartar rearguard appeared in front of the forward troops of the Haw Par Army.

For these Tartars who once did all kinds of evil, the pursuit force of the Tiger and Par Army did not hesitate at all...... Raise the musket directly, and after a short aiming, quickly pull the trigger.

A crisp musket shot sounded in the night of the order, and the Tartar, who was fleeing for his life with a panicked face, immediately fell forward to the ground under the action of inertia, and his life and death were unknown.

As for the other tartars who had narrowly escaped lead bullets, the sound of a dense musket fire reached their ears like a talisman.

So, in order to survive, in order to avoid the lead bullets that may be shot behind him at any time. The Tartar rearguard had to constantly speed up their escapes.

However, no matter how fast they have to go, they can't fly faster than lead bullets.

Coupled with the fact that they had all been on the road for a day, everyone was covered with exhaustion. Even if they try to keep running faster, their tired bodies can't meet their requirements and goals.

Thereupon. Such a scene occurred on the battlefield. Under the fire of the pursuing troops of the Haw Par Army, round after round of musket fire. There are always a few Tartars who are frantically fleeing for their lives, and there are always a few who are very lucky enough to be hit by lead bullets and fall on the way to escape.

At this moment, the few generals who followed Ao Bai became even more anxious.

Especially when the gunshots from behind them reached their ears, the anxious expression on their faces was immediately covered with panic.

One officer after another, as if they were frightened by something. Immediately chased after Ao Bai and asked, "General, the pursuing force of the Haw Par Army has caught up with us, what should we do next......

"It's so dark, the warriors are so tired, there's no way to fight the Haw Par Army...... Please make a decision right away......"

As soon as he finished speaking, another subordinate spoke up close behind......

"Yes, General, if you continue to run like this, with the remaining physical strength of the warriors, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Tiger and Par Army...... If there is no other way. It's better to stop while the warriors still have a little physical strength. Fight with the Haw Par Army and you will break the net ......"

"Otherwise, when the warriors lose their physical strength, they won't even have a chance to resist in the face of the attack of the Haw Par Army......"

"The warriors are the most elite soldiers of Houjin, and they would rather die on the battlefield with the Haw Par Army than be slaughtered by the Haw Par Army without any room for retribution...... So, please think carefully......."

The words of this subordinate obviously aroused the most primitive fighting spirit and blood in the hearts of many Tartars......

As soon as they finished speaking, they shouted one after another: "Yes, we are all the most heroic warriors in Houjin, and we would rather die on the battlefield than be slaughtered by the Tiger and Par Army...... Fought with the Haw Par Army ......"

"General, if you die, we will stop now and fight desperately with the Tiger and Par Army......"

If you had put it in the past, you would have been very happy to hear these eager requests from your subordinates.

However, hearing these words now, Ao Bai not only did not show the slightest smile on his face, but frowned.

Because, at this moment, he has lost the capital to fight desperately with the pursuit force of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and he can't afford to fight.

So, in the face of his subordinates who were shouting and wanting to fight hard, Ao Bai didn't think about it, so he refused very decisively......

"No...... If you want to fight hard, during the day, Ben will take you to a decisive battle against the Tiger and Par Army, why do you have to work so hard to escape...... You must know that you are the last hope of the Houjin Kingdom, and if even you are killed in battle, then the Houjin Kingdom will be completely finished. ”

"So, no matter what, Ben is going to bring you back and hand you over to the Great Khan......"

As soon as Ao Bai's words were finished, a subordinate with an aggrieved face said, "But, general...... The pursuing force of the Haw Par Army has caught up with us and is shooting our rearguard with muskets......"

"In addition, the warriors' physical strength is about to run out, so how can we return to the barracks in this situation......"

Under the gaze of a pair of desperate eyes, Ao Bai knew that his current self had to give them a very satisfactory answer. Otherwise, these subordinates in front of them will definitely be completely desperate and disappointed in themselves. Then, despite his own opposition, he fought desperately with the pursuing troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, losing his life and the last hope of the Houjin Kingdom in vain.

So, after only a short period of contemplation, Ao Bai replied with great certainty: "There is a way...... There will be a way to ......"

"We can continue to divide our forces, as long as we divide our forces, the Haw Par Army that is pursuing us behind us will have to give up some of our troops. Because, in the mountains, no matter how strong their combat strength is, they don't dare to let their forces be too scattered...... "But we are different, even if the strength of a hundred or even ten people is scattered to break through, the warriors can survive in the dense forest under their feet and find their way back to the camp......"

Of course, at this moment, Ao Bai only talked about the benefits of dividing his troops to escape. But in his heart, he hid the possible disadvantages of dividing the troops and did not say it.

Dividing troops when the morale of the troops is low, and even when they are hopeless about the future, is tantamount to giving the officers and men under their command a great opportunity to break away from the army.

This atmosphere of despair for the future of the Houjin has been hanging over the heads of every Tartar since the defeat of the war.

Although these people didn't say anything explicitly, they all knew in their hearts that after this defeat, at least for a short time, Houjin Zai had no hope of rising, and even the most basic Yiwu of protecting the people of Houjin could not do it.

In such a situation, it is not for nothing to continue to stay in the army.

You must know that the tiger and leopard army stationed outside the mountain not only killed the Houjin army on the battlefield, but also killed the people of various tribes of Houjin.

Rather than stay in the barracks for no sense, it's better to leave (to be continued......
