"The exact number has not yet been told, but I estimate that at least a thousand of our soldiers lost their lives in this battle, not counting the seriously wounded. If we add in the light and serious wounded, most of our soldiers have basically lost their combat effectiveness!"

"This Fengqi army is really too tenacious! I thought it would be an easy victory, but I didn't expect it to be fought so hard! If it weren't for your full preparation in advance, we are afraid that our losses would have been even greater. Speaking of this, Rogge couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"But anyway, we're winning! We're safe for now!"

"It's too early to say that! Aubrey is not as simple as we think, he should have sensed that we had fallen for it. Moreover, he will soon get the news of Jerome's death, and he will certainly hasten the pace of his march at all costs! According to my expectation, his vanguard will appear before us in seven or eight hours at most. ”

"In our current state, once they catch up, we have no possibility of getting out again! That means that all the gains we have made with blood and sacrifice in the past few days will be in vain and meaningless!"

So I decided: "Speaking of this, Li Zijun's face tightened suddenly, and Rogge instinctively straightened up.

"Throw away all supplies except weapons, armor, horses, and food!" This order is to be carried out immediately, and set out as soon as it is ready. Remind the brothers: unless we encounter an enemy or a very special situation this time, we will not stop to rest, let them all be mentally prepared in this regard!"

"Yes!" Rogge had already fully believed in Li Zijun's command ability, and had the explanation just now. He didn't have any objections, and immediately nodded yes.

"It's just that we must take all those brothers who died in battle. No one is missing!"

"But?"

"Nothing! They are not our burden, they are our brothers, our heroes!' We can't leave them here!' This is a dead order!

"Yes!" Although Li Zijun vetoed his own proposal, Rogge not only did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he also felt the warmth of a spring breeze in his heart.

Unlike Rogge's feelings, the moment he got the news of Jerome's defeat and death, Aubrey felt as if he had suddenly been thrown into the ice tan, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, cold and biting!

"How so? Jerome has our elite in his hands, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation with the Proud Gold Army, which is several times his size. Not to mention that he still has Charlotte's intelligence to guide him. Didn't Jerome receive information from Charlotte?" In a fit of rage, Aubrey couldn't care about hiding Charlotte's identity anymore, and didn't hesitate to say her name.

"General Jerome did receive a piece of information beforehand, but I don't know if the person who delivered the information to him was the 'Charlotte' you mentioned. The general followed the guidance of this information to bring us to that place, but unexpectedly, it was the other party who set a trap. ”

"As soon as the battle began, General Jerome was shot in the throat by a cold arrow, and then. The other side launched an all-out offensive against us. ”

"We also tried to organize our troops and fight back, but the commander of the opposing side was extremely cunning, and several of our efforts were ruthlessly dispersed by the commandos led by him. In the end, we'll have to fight on our own!" said the wolf-bèi general, whose face darkened. Eyes averted Aubrey's gaze.

Aubrey immediately guessed the reason for the shame on the face of the general in front of him, and a wave of anger quickly rushed to his forehead.

But just as Aubrey was about to lash out at the general, or even punish him severely, one of the advisors behind him suddenly pushed him secretly.

"Do you see who the commander is?" Aubrey trusted the strategist. It was unclear what he was doing this, but he still suppressed his anger.

"It's a young man under twenty years old!"

"What? You people can't even deal with a young man under twenty years old?! What the are you going to eat?"

"He's not very old, though. I've seen him several times in battle, and none of us are his enemies. And that's not even the scariest of all. The most terrible thing is that from beginning to end, I didn't see a drop of blood on him. In a big scuffle like that, it's almost impossible to happen!"

"And he is particularly cunning, his goal is only to get rid of our commander, and he will leave as soon as the goal is achieved, and he will not entangle us too much. A lot of times, he's already led people over, and we haven't figured out what's going on!"

"Fart! You are talking nonsense! How could a young man under twenty years old have such a good appearance?

"Okay, I know everything, you go down and rest!" Aubrey let out a long breath, barely controlling his feelings, and waved the general away.

"Mr. Buck, don't listen to what he says here, this kid is just making excuses for his fear of death and being a deserter!Why do you want to stop me from punishing him?" Aubrey turned to his adviser Buck with a puzzled look on his face after watching the 'runaway general' leave.

Actually, I don't have a good impression of this man, except for one thing, if it weren't for his timely report, we probably wouldn't have gotten the news of General Jerome's defeat by now. I don't think you should punish him for that!"

"Could it be that you still want me to reward him as a deserter?" Aubrey couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Buck's words.

"If the young man he described is true, I really think you should reward him!" Buck said with a meaningful smile as he stared at Aubrey.

"Reward him, what are you kidding?" Aubrey was about to express his frustration to Buck, but his eyes suddenly lit up and he fell silent.

"Sir, do you doubt that the young man is?" asked Aubrey tentatively as he pondered for a moment.

"I carefully analyzed the information sent back by Charlotte, and I was already a little skeptical about it, but after hearing the general's account just now, I have even greater confidence in my own judgment!"

"If this Ed is his 'Charity', and we can catch him this time, or get rid of him altogether, what about you, my lord?"

"It's definitely a miracle!"

"At present, he has become a big problem for our Fengqi Empire and the Dark Moon God Sect! If that young man is really him, and I can catch him, even if I use up all the 20,000 people in my hands, it will be worth it!"

"Hearing you say that, I now think it's very likely, especially in terms of time, almost exactly right! What do you think we should do now?"

"'Fueling tactics' is a taboo for soldiers! But at this time, I think this is the best way!"

"What do you mean?"

"We should send out the fastest teams of 1,000 men and order them to catch up with the Aujin team as much as possible from now on. Whoever catches up with them with a thousand-man team does not need to assemble, wait, or lose money, but immediately attack them. We don't want to destroy them, we want to slow them down as much as possible!"

"Your Excellency, you will lead the rest of the troops and then pursue them at full speed, and we have only one goal: to catch up with them, and finally leave Ed here!"

"It's said that Ed's kid is cunning, will he see that the situation is wrong and get out of the way?" if he chooses to do so, then we will lose more than we gain!" Aubrey couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard Buck's advice.

"Ed's kid is indeed cunning, but he has a fatal weakness, which is actually his strength: he rarely throws off others for his own safety!

"That's it!" Buck's words prompted Aubrey to finally make up his mind, and he immediately gave the order for the whole army to chase after Li Zijun at full speed.

"Ed, look!" Hope, who was with Li Zijun, suddenly frowned, and pointed behind him.

Li Zijun followed Hope's hand and looked back, only to see that a few thick puffs of black smoke had rushed straight into the sky.

"They came so fast!" Looking at these puffs of black smoke, Li Zijun smiled disapprovingly, shook his head and sighed.

This black smoke was emitted by Aojin's scouts, and its purpose was to alert the presence of pursuers.

"Ed, they're not far from us, and in two hours at most they'll catch up with us. Otherwise, I'm worried that we won't wait for Feng Qi's third line of defense to catch up!" Hope said to Li Zijun a little nervously.

"Brother Hope, you're too worried, there's no need for that!" Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand at Hope.

"If my prediction is correct, in another hour or so, we will be completely safe!"

"When the time comes, it's not us who really need to worry about it, but their turn!"

"Order the whole army: keep the speed! Tell them: We are about to go home!" Hope wanted to say something, but Li Zijun didn't give him such a chance at all, and after passing the order, he let out a long howl, urging the horse to come out of the crowd! (To be continued......
