On weekdays, if these concubines ask for this, it's nothing, after all, they are all emperor's women, and it's normal to ask for something.

But now it's different.

As soon as they asked, time would be delayed.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard didn't want to hear it, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare not listen, these people were all the emperor's women, and if the wind blew in the emperor's ears in the future, then he might die without knowing how he died.

In desperation, he had to ask the soldiers to prepare hot water.

Emperor Qiu Tang also knew this, he wanted the Praetorian Guards not to listen, but a few concubines were coquettish in his ear, and he suddenly relented, so he didn't say anything.

In the end, the group actually stayed here for more than an hour!

"Your Majesty, we should go, if we don't, the enemy spies may find our traces. ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was in front of Qiu Tang, looking a little anxious.

Other people don't understand, but he, a general, can naturally understand that delaying too long in this kind of retreat is completely an act of looking for death.

The Nanyan Kingdom is not the weak kingdom before, their army can even defeat the army of the Liyang Dynasty, not to mention the army of those families in Zonglan City.

As long as they are given a little time, it is strange that those private soldiers of the family can stop them.

Therefore, the commander of this Praetorian Guard began to be anxious, after all, the delay here was too long.

Qiu Tang also knew the stakes, and knew that his people had been delayed for a long time, and if they continued to delay, there was a high possibility that something would happen.

Then he nodded and said, "Give them the order and prepare to go." ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly went down to pass on the emperor's order.

There were also some concubines who didn't want to leave and went to coquettish Qiu Tang or something, but this time Qiu Tang didn't continue to pay attention to them.

No matter how unhappy these concubines are, they have to obediently obey the order and continue to move forward.

It's just that, as before, it's still not very fast.

"Report, General, traces of enemy troops have been spotted ahead, and their speed is very slow. ”

When Qiu Tang was resting with people, Zhao Yun had already led the army to chase after him through a rapid march.

"Well, give the order, slow down the army and advance for two quarters of an hour to regain strength, and immediately attack after two quarters of an hour, making sure to break through the enemy in the shortest possible time. Zhao Yun ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun's order went down, and the speed of the army, which was originally carrying out a rapid march, was quickly slowed down, only half of the previous one, which could allow the army's physical strength to recover somewhat, which was conducive to waiting for the battle.

Two quarters of an hour later, the army led by Zhao Yun had recovered some of their physical strength.

At this time, Zhao Yun made the army speed up, although it was not a rapid march, but the speed was much faster than before.

More than half an hour later, Zhao Yun's army caught up with the slow Qiu Tang army.

"Kill!"

Without further ado, Zhao Yun directly led the troops to kill him.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The army behind him also rushed over in a burst of shouts and killing.

"What's going on?"

Qiu Tang, who was walking in the front, heard the sudden shouting of killing from behind, and the whole person was stunned.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is chasing and is now attacking us, so leave quickly, and stop them in the future. ”

The Praetorian Guard commander hurried over.

"What? The enemy is chasing after you?"

Qiu Tang was shocked and said, "How much time is it this time? How can the speed of the enemy army be so fast? Could it be that the private soldiers of those families in Zonglan City can't even stop it for two or three hours?"

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was full of anxiety, when was it, and he said this? If those private soldiers of the family blocked the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom, would the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom still be able to chase after them?

If it weren't for Qiu Tang being the emperor, he would have wanted to scold.

Now, he could only say urgently: "Your Majesty, it must be that we have just stayed for too long, so we have given the enemy a chance to catch up, you leave now quickly, and two thousand elites will be arranged to protect you, you go quickly!"

Qiu Tang finally reacted at this time, and now, running first is the king.

Then, without saying a word, he rode forward at a very fast speed.

Even his queen and children didn't bring anything with him.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked stunned when he saw it, he didn't leave just now, and now he is so decisive? Even the queen and her children don't ask more?

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was very helpless, what kind of emperor was he loyal to? Before, it seemed that he handed over the kingdom army to Dong Wuze, who came from the dynasty, and then the army died miserably, and now he doesn't even want his wife and son to flee for his life?

However, no matter how helpless he was, he could only arrange for the army to protect Qiu Tang as quickly as possible.

Then, he took the Praetorian Guards to meet Zhao Yun to buy enough time for Qiu Tang to retreat.

As for those harem concubines, he didn't have the extra energy to protect them, so he could only let them ask for more blessings.

"Kill!"

The Praetorian Guards at the rear had already engaged the army led by Zhao Yun.

The army of the Zonglan Kingdom is worthy of being known as the first in the southwest of Yuzhou before, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

Especially these Praetorian Guards, they are not weak.

Compared with them, these armies led by Zhao Yun are only at the level of five or five open.

You must know that these troops led by Zhao Yun came from Dunchuan City, and they were trained by Lian Po, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong.

The combat effectiveness of these Praetorian Guards can be at the level of five or five with them, which is already quite powerful.

But......

With the addition of Zhao Yun, this balance of power is completely gone.

Zhao Yun was brave, after entering the enemy formation, the enemy formation collapsed in an instant, and then faced the surprise attack of the Nanyan elite soldiers, there was no resistance, and soon it was a rout, and a large number of troops retreated and fled.

When those harem concubines saw the rout of the army, they were in chaos all of a sudden, and they each beckoned their personal palace maids to protect them and run out.

These palace maids also have some strength, but they also ran away from the rear with these concubines, but they also made the military formation of the Praetorian Guard even more chaotic.

This was convenient for Zhao Yun, taking advantage of these chaotic armies, leading the soldiers to kill.

"The enemy general Hugh is rampant, eat me with a knife!"

Just as Zhao Yun pierced the body of a soldier with a shot, an angry shout came from the right front.

Zhao Yun took a look and found that it was a middle-aged man wearing the general's armor.

According to the news from the Jinyi Guard, he immediately recognized this person as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

Then, without saying a word, he rushed over with his spear.

"Die!"

The commander of the Praetorian Guard raised his broadsword and slashed at Zhao Yun.

But before the knife fell, a flash of light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he felt his body light.

Immediately after, confusion followed.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he saw himself flying, and on his chest, there was a spear in Zhao Yun's hand.

"The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
