Among this thousand Song army, there are Bai Yuanhao's Zhenxi Army, the Imperial Forest Army, the Praetorian Guard, and even the city guards of Dingchuan City.

They totaled 40,000 people, led by Li Hua, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who was the highest-ranking person among all the Thousand Song people present. The commander of the Praetorian Guard, the chief general of the Zhenxi Army, and the general of the city guard, have already died in the previous battle.

Li Hua himself had fought on the grassland border, and he had some combat experience.

However, after all, he has been out of battle for many years, not to mention that when he was young, he was just a partial general in the Zhenxi Army.

He is not a real commander of the army, let alone a god in the use of soldiers. Moreover, the Imperial Guards and the Praetorian Guards have always been responsible for the security of the royal palace, as well as some ceremonies, honor guards and other activities.

Their combat effectiveness may not be low, but they have no experience in going into battle to kill the enemy.

At this time, there were nearly 100,000 people in the center of Li Hua's army, which were the people who had escaped from Dingchuan City.

Among them were rich gentry, merchants, commoners, women and children......

They dragged their families and families, carried their burdens, and drove ox carts, which greatly slowed down the march of this team. And they all have one thing in common, that is, they have no combat effectiveness.

Li Hua knew very well that this fleeing army would soon be caught up by the Qianlan army.

He was both saddened and reproached by the death of His Majesty and the generals and ministers, but now what he needed to do was to keep most of the people in this team alive.

He did not want to abandon any of the people of the Thousand Song Dynasty, and small countries like this, which were born in distress all year round, were often much more united than the rest of the country.

It's just that what to do, Li Hua doesn't have any good way, he can only take one step at a time.

The direction of their journey is the northwest border of the Moon Kingdom.

Li Hua was the one who participated in Bai Yuanhao's coup plan throughout the whole process, and he certainly knew what Bai Yuanhao's army had done.

In his mind, the most important thing is to rush to the northwest to meet the eldest prince now.

When they see the eldest prince, they can be protected. And began to counterattack. He never dreamed that the great prince, whom he had high hopes for, would soon be killed in battle.

Once this army enters the northwest, it will only throw itself into the net.

Ji Bingyun was awakened by the shouting of killing, and when she opened her eyes, the sky was still pitch black, and the sound of killing was already shaking the sky.

The 100,000 Qianlan army was responsible for pursuing the remaining 40,000 Song troops, and they were the first to catch up and fight them. It was 30,000 blue vanguard cavalry. At that time, they had escaped less than a hundred miles.

More than 100,000 people fled in all directions. There were boxes, pots, bowls, and axles scattered on the ground, and once these 40,000 Song troops were defeated, they had only one way to die.

Lin Yong and nearly a hundred soldiers of the Monk Regiment were still by Ji Bingyun's side, and the order given to them by the eldest prince was to let Ji Bingyun survive even if he died in battle.

They vaguely guessed the eldest prince's plan, after all, they had also experienced the battle of Fulunpo and had seen Ji Bingyun's ability, but they still felt that this guess was too nonsense.

And because of this. They didn't recommend Ji Bingyun to Li Hua from the beginning.

The battle ended quickly, and the individual combat strength of the Imperial Guards and the Praetorian Guards was quite high, and they formed a formation to resist the onslaught of the Blue Cavalry, and even inflicted heavy losses on the other side.

In the end, the Thousand Song Army paid more than 3,000 dead and wounded, and the Qianlan Vanguard Army chose to temporarily retreat with no hope of victory.

They could wait for the 70,000 army in the rear to come, and then the Thousand Song Army would no longer have a way to live. There are more than 100,000 people holding back. They simply can't escape.

When this fugitive army set out again, there were nearly 10,000 people missing, and in addition to the 3,000 soldiers, thousands of people had died in the chaotic battle just now.

And after this short battle, they gathered together again in shock.

Without a large army, they may not even have the last chance of life.

Looking at the tragic scene. Ji Bingyun endured the discomfort and struggled to sit up straight. She has a calm and calm mind, but she can't hide her fragile heart.

How she wished that all this was just a dream. When he wakes up, he can return to the peaceful courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where he can greet his parents and play with Fluttershy again.

However. There's no more of a chance......

She had only seen a rough idea of the battle just now, but it was enough for her to see a lot of things.

She could see that the commander of this army was jerky and hesitant when commanding, and if it continued like this, this army would soon be torn to pieces by the next Qianlan people.

There is no time to hesitate, and there is no room for retreat.

Her country has died, and she will never have the opportunity to be that carefree daughter in the Ji Mansion again.

"Now, who is in charge?" her soft voice came into Lin Yong's ears.

Lin Yong didn't dare to slack off on any of her words, and after hearing this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "It's General Li Hua, the commander of the Royal Forest Army!"

"Take me to General Lai, I have something to say to him. Her voice was still as soft and soft, but there was determination in her words.

"This ...... General Li is probably busy discussing countermeasures with other generals right now. ”

"Take me there. ”

"Okay.

”

......

Li Hua's side, in addition to several middle- and lower-level officers of the forbidden army and the city guard, there are also some acquaintances of Ji Bingyun, Bai Jinghuan, Zhao Xing, Xi Feiyuan and others who were abducted to the grassland back then.

Seeing Ji Bingyun suddenly arrive, everyone stopped talking and showed curious looks.

For the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone present is naturally familiar with it.

But this escape, this eldest lady seems very special - she actually has 2,000 powerful 'bodyguards'.

This was a treatment that her younger siblings, uncles, and parents did not have, and although these two thousand people had also joined the battle just now, they still left more than a hundred people around her to stand guard.

How can this special phenomenon not make people suspicious?

Li Hua knew that this was still the eldest prince's order, after all, before the eldest prince left, he had also asked him to protect Ji Bingyun well.

But why?

There was only one reason he could guess, the eldest prince liked Ji Bingyun, so he cared so much about her.

This reason is very nonsense, after all, Xie Shaoying is the one who has a marriage contract with her, and His Royal Highness the eldest prince should not do such a thing. But beyond that, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

For Ji Bingyun. He maintained a certain amount of respect, whether it was because of his prime minister's daughter, the future daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, or the reason for the eldest prince.

"General Li, what are you going to do next?"

After Ji Bingyun saw the ceremony, his first sentence went straight to the point.

This question made Li Hua stunned. I didn't know how to answer her for a while.

They can't think of any countermeasures at all now, except to continue to flee to the northwest. They simply can't find any other way out. And now they are still two thousand miles away from the northwest of the Moon Country, such a long distance is enough for the Qianlan people to catch up with them countless times.

They probably won't make it there, but what can they do if they don't?

In terms of strength, they are much weaker than the Qianlan army, and they have no chance of winning at all, this is a must-lose escape, and he can only do his best.

And in addition. He also didn't understand why Ji Bingyun asked this question.

She's just a protected person, and when men are discussing matters, especially when discussing the military, she doesn't seem to have to or be qualified to ask, right?

"Don't worry, we will see the eldest prince alive!" he finally gave her an answer.

In his opinion. Maybe Ji Bingyun was worried about dying here and was scared, so he asked this kind of overstepping question.

Ji Bingyun didn't have Tang Xiaozhi's caution, she couldn't guess what Li Hua was thinking, and she couldn't see the other party's feelings about her.

"Please forgive Bingyun for being blunt, continue like this. We can't get to the northwest of the Moon Country. She bluntly pointed out their situation.

Li Hua's brows furrowed, although Ji Bingyun's words were true, they still made him a little unhappy.

Bai Jinghuan on the side seemed to suddenly understand something, this scene reminded him of the scene on the grassland back then.

"General Li, let's just listen to Miss Bingyun's opinion? Anyway, there's nothing you can do right now, right?" he smiled and rounded.

And Zhao Xing, Xi Feiyuan and others also seemed to wake up suddenly.

That's right. Before Ji Bingyun pointed out the loophole of Nalong's 'refueling tactics', they were just as disapproving as Li Hua now.

So everyone laughed and persuaded Li Hua to slow down and get angry, and listen to what she had to say first.

"Do you have a way?" everyone's reaction surprised Li Hua and puzzled him at the same time.

Ji Bingyun nodded with a smile: "The first thing we have to do first is to separate from these people......

Before she could finish her first sentence, everyone's faces changed.

If it weren't for those hundreds of thousands of people, the marching speed of these 40,000 Song troops would have increased several times, and there would be no need to look forward or backward when fighting.

At that time, there was a real good chance that they would survive.

But if we do that, the hundreds of thousands of people will surely die.

In other countries, the commander of the army, at such a moment when there is no chance of victory, may really abandon his own people and leave them to fend for themselves.

But Li Hua and the thousand Song generals around him couldn't do it, this kind of thing was simply a sin for them.

"You don't need to say it, it's impossible for me to abandon my brothers and sisters!" Li Hua's face sank, and Bai Jinghuan, Zhao Xing and the others were also silent.

They are now also beginning to wonder if Ji Bingyun is too selfish. In order to be able to escape by himself, so that this army can protect himself, he has to give up on others.

She's too cold-blooded.

"Please also listen to me, I don't intend to abandon everyone, on the contrary, that is their chance to live. "Ji Bingyun did not retreat because of everyone's gaze, and when she finally decided to 'go out of the mountain', she never planned to turn back.

Li Hua said coldly: "The chance of survival? I only know that once they are separated from us, their lives will become unsafe, no one will protect them, even a few thousand Qianlan soldiers can easily kill them!"

"The general was wrong. Ji Bingyun shook his head: "If they follow us, it is a real dead end." ”
