It was probably dawn, or the sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, which made Fan Xuan wake up from his nap suddenly.

The sky outside the tent was pale white, and it was dawn, and it was dawn. There were bursts of footsteps from outside the tent, and there were many people walking.

Fan Xuan glanced at the bed, Chu Xiuyang was still asleep, thinking that it was the effect of the pill, she was not disturbed.

Fan Xuan walked out of the camp tent and saw many scarred soldiers coming from the south one after another. At a glance, some people are lame, some people are covered in blood, some have lost their weapons or armor, and they are walking lazily, with no energy and energy, and they are quite embarrassed.

You don't have to think about it to know that this is the person who came back from the sporadicals last night. It's lucky to escape from the tiger and wolf's cave, so what's the spirit?

Among the soldiers who escaped from the south, there were several generals at the head, who were also covered in mud and blood, and their armor was covered with sharp claw marks.

As soon as they came back, they went to hand over to the general surnamed Jiang, and arranged for cooking and treating the wounded.

Fan Xuan looked back and forth among these people, trying to find one or two familiar figures. After a while, she saw Xu Huaigu's shadow, and her hanging heart finally let go.

She looked from a distance and saw that Xu Huaigu's waist was straight, and although he was not walking fast, he was very steady, and he was very eye-catching among the depressed soldiers.

She knew that when Xu Huaigu returned here, she must have to find Chu Xiuyang first, but she didn't dare to call him, so she had to stand at the door of the tent and watch him silently.

Xu Huaigu stopped, Yin Zishi and Xia Ying were not far from him, and they walked to his side at this time.

Yin Zishi said worriedly: "What should I do next?" I'm worried that the demon clan will chase after me soon, in my opinion, this place may not be safe, so I have to get on the road as soon as possible and retreat to the back line of defense. Xu Huaigu looked around and said, "What you said makes sense, but now we have to obey the arrangement from above, and if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave." Yin Zishi nodded and said, "Let's go to General Chu and tell her about it." ”

"Chu Xiuyang is injured, and the injury is very serious, but I am afraid that he is still recuperating at this time." Xu Huaigu thought of the events on the battlefield and frowned slightly,

"At that time, I was on the battlefield, and I had no choice but to send her over with a flying sword, otherwise I was afraid that my life would not be saved, and I don't know what the situation is now." Yin Zishi hurriedly said: "Then there is always a person in charge here." I went to him and explained the matter to him. Xu Huaigu nodded, Yin Zishi left quickly in three steps and two steps, and Xia Ying also asked him, "Is there anything else I can help with?" Xu Huaigu turned his head and replied: "It's hard work Xia Daoyou, there should be nothing wrong now, if there is anything, I will definitely look for you." When Xia Ying heard this, she nodded, didn't make a sound, and walked to the forest next to her.

Xu Huaigu knew that she liked to be pure alone, so he went with her. Fan Xuan watched the three of them say something, and saw Xu Huaigu looking around, she must have wanted to find Chu Xiuyang, but she mustered up the courage to shout his name again, and those three words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that she was on the battlefield at that time, the situation was too critical for her to have the slightest consideration, and it is estimated that she would not dare to call him by name.

Xu Huaigu stood in place and looked around, and looked around again, only to see a woman standing at the door of the tent in the distance, looking at him, that person was Fan Xuan.

Chu Xiuyang must be with her, Xu Huaigu immediately walked in her direction. Fan Xuan didn't dare to step forward to greet him, nor did he dare to go back to the tent, so he just stood at the door, waiting for him to come.

When Xu Huaigu approached, she didn't dare to take a second look, but lowered her head and said, "General Chu is inside, he is asleep, and there is no big problem." Xu Huaigu paused in front of her, didn't speak, and walked into the tent again, and Fan Xuan followed in.

Chu Xiuyang was still asleep on the bed, her face was quiet, as if things in the outside world had nothing to do with her. Xu Huaigu bowed his head, carefully looked at the wound in her heart, reached out to her vein, probed her breath, and finally looked at the robe she was wearing, was silent for a moment, and said, "This is yours?" Fan Xuan timidly replied, "Yes." She was very scared in her heart, for fear that Xu Huaigu would dislike her, so she would take off the robe from Chu Xiuyang and throw it back to her.

She had even thought of this picture in her mind, but imagination was imagination, but in fact, Xu Huaigu just nodded and didn't say anything.

Fan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Huaigu stood up, didn't look at Fan Xuan, and said as if talking to himself: "She's really fine now, let her sleep well, don't disturb her." When she wakes up, come and tell me. Fan Xuan was flattered, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, Xu Huaigu looked at Chu Xiu Yang for a long time, and left.

Fan Xuan's heart finally fell. She let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the side of Chu Xiuyang's bed, thought about it, as if there was nothing to do for herself now, and then went outside to ask the person who was cooking for a bowl of boiling water, which was cold on the side.

She looked out of the tent, and more and more people were returning to the camp one after another. When the siege broke through at dawn yesterday, the situation was very chaotic, and the ordinary soldiers fought in close quarters, and they were not the opponents of the demon clan at all, if it weren't for some monks to help protect them, they would simply be fish on the chopping board.

However, the number of monks is limited after all, and those who can protect it will be protected, and most of them will not be able to protect it. Under the battle to the death, the crowd was gradually divided.

Some of the strong ones came out of the encirclement, and the weak ones never came out. Although Xu Huaigu promised Chu Xiuyang to help save those soldiers, but one person's strength is limited after all, and there are several big demons who have always entangled him, even if Xu Huaigu has a heart, what he can do is also limited.

It's just that he tried his best to kill the two Seven Realms Great Demons, and then helped the surrounding soldiers to evacuate, and there was not much else that could be done.

As for how many of the 55,000 soldiers survived, Xu Huaigu couldn't say for sure, he had to count them to know.

It wasn't until after noon that fewer people returned to the camp. If you haven't been able to reach the camp on time at this point, I'm afraid it's already unlucky.

General Jiang's side was counting the casualties with several surviving generals, and his tightly knit brows never opened.

After a few people discussed it solemnly, he hurriedly walked to Chu Xiuyang's tent with his feet raised. After all, the elixir that aided sleep was a fairy elixir, and the medicinal effect was excellent.

Chu Xiuyang had been thinking about it for a long time before he was injured, and he was already exhausted, and it was time to get a good night's sleep, but the arrival of General Jiang still interrupted Chu Xiuyang's good dream.

"This immortal chief, there are affairs in the army that urgently need General Chu to make a decision quickly, and please help wake up the general." The old general surnamed Jiang had a flushed face and a slightly trembling beard, looking very anxious.

Fan Xuan couldn't, so she had to push Chu Xiuyang, bowed her head and whispered in her ear: "General, it's time to wake up." Chu Xiuyang slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt that the whole person was much refreshed, and the injury on his chest was also much better, but there was still a faint pain, which was much lighter than yesterday, and he should be fine.

As soon as the old general saw that Chu Xiuyang had woken up, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is the general okay?" As soon as Chu Xiuyang heard the voice, he also hurriedly raised his spirit and said, "General Jiang? General Jiang hurriedly said: "It's me!" She glanced outside the tent, only to see that the heavy rain had gone yesterday, and the sun was shining outside at the moment, and she suddenly felt anxious, and said, "Damn, how can I sleep until this time!" What time is it? ”

"General Hui, it's just past noon."

"What? It's past noon? "How can I sleep for so long? Chu Xiuyang blamed himself in his heart, and he was in a hurry to sit up.

Fan Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two sat down shoulder to shoulder on the edge of the bed. Chu Xiuyang asked eagerly, "General Jiang, what's the situation in the camp now?" ”

"General Hui, the cavalry has been camped here for a day, and the scouts sent have not seen the whereabouts of the demon clan, so according to your orders, they are temporarily stationed here and are not in a hurry to leave. At that time, the soldiers who were separated from us in the encirclement had also returned to the camp one after another, but the number was still much smaller, and I am afraid that many of them could not get out. Whether to go or stay, at this moment is waiting for the general's next decision. Chu Xiuyang asked anxiously, "How many have you come back?" General Jiang paused for a moment before he said in embarrassment: "According to the statistics of me and the generals below, there are probably only eight or nine thousand people who have returned, less than ten thousand. "More than 50,000 people, only less than 10,000 returned?

Chu Xiuyang's heart suddenly tightened, he closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, was heartbroken for a long time, and asked, "What about the cavalry?" How much was lost? ”

"The situation of the cavalry was much better, with only a few hundred men lost." Chu Xiuyang put a little snack and said, "This is better." By the way, what about the monks? Were there any casualties among the monks? The general surnamed Jiang was a little stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Monk? This...... This monk probably can't be counted as our establishment, I don't count it. Chu Xiuyang's tone suddenly hardened, and he scolded: "Why don't you count? They killed demons with us, threw their heads and spilled blood together, why not! Besides, at that time, it was General Lu's order, so we treated the monks as soldiers, why didn't they count as an establishment? Could it be that because you are old, you can not even pay attention to General Lu's words? ”

"Yes, what the general said, I was wrong." The old general was annoyed, and hurriedly said,

"I'll do it." Chu Xiuyang snorted coldly. Then he bowed his head and paused for a long time, and then sighed bitterly: "More than 50,000 people! Of more than 50,000 people, only 10,000 remain, wow! General Jiang also lowered his head and sighed: "This is also something that cannot be helped." It was supposed to be a fatal game, but now there are 15,000 people alive, which is already a great luck. Fortunately, the scouts I sent out didn't find any traces of the demon clan's pursuit, as long as they sorted out their team, continued to set off north, and passed through that mountain road to return to the north. This road is in the deep mountains, little known, and the demon clan should not find it for a while. Therefore I beg the general to hasten and give the order to go north, and as long as we cross the mountain, we will be able to return to our position. "Mountain Road...... These words happened to reach Chu Xiuyang's heart.

Breaking through is only the first step, and with so many people dead, what about the more dangerous mountain roads? How do you go about this?

General Jiang saw that Chu Xiuyang was a little stunned, and hurriedly reminded: "Please give the order to go north as soon as possible!" If you stay here for a while, you will have more risk of being caught up by the demon clan! Chu Xiuyang thought for a while, then looked outside the tent again, and said, "It's afternoon now, and it's already night when you walk into the mountain." The demon clan has the advantage at night, if there is an ambush, what should I do? General Jiang said: "That road is very hidden, the demon clan has just captured the seventh level, and it must be still sorting out the team, how could it be discovered so quickly?" What's even more important now is that the demon clan behind will catch up at any time! Chu Xiuyang was not in a hurry, and said: "The scouts you sent have not found any traces of the demon clan from yesterday to today, and if they want to catch up, they will catch up long ago, and they will not wait until now." Besides, if we leave now, what will happen to those soldiers who haven't had time to return to camp yet? ”

"But ......"

"I know what I know." Chu Xiuyang interrupted General Jiang's words,

"You go and give the order, rest for the night today, and set off at dawn tomorrow."

"Yes." General Jiang couldn't argue, so he had to sigh, walked out of the camp quickly, and gave the order.

Thinking that there were only 10,000 soldiers left, and there was still a dangerous road to go, Chu Xiuyang felt a headache.

She rubbed her temples vigorously, sighed, and lay down on the bed again. Fan Xuan handed her a bowl of water, and she took a slight sip.

Fan Xuan put the water on the table, stood up, and was about to walk out of the tent, when Chu Xiuyang stopped her and said, "Miss Fan, where are you going?" ”

"Go find Xu Huaigu. He said before, let me tell him as soon as you wake up. ”

"That's what he said?" Chu Xiuyang's eyebrows were curved, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't know whether the expression on his face was laughing or worried, and said, "That's exactly how it should be, I'm also about to look for him." Go ahead, you're done. Fan Xuan nodded and walked out of the tent.
