Chapter 272: Retreat

When they also arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, they were about to march in, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves on the meadow, and then more than 100 Sui cavalry approached. Li Bochen immediately ordered the soldiers to line up the formation, and shouted with his lance: "Who is coming!?"

The cavalry of the Sui army stopped more than a hundred paces ahead. One humanitarian: "On the order of the Grand Duke, come to the aid of the friendly army!"

Fang Yan scolded when he heard this: "Phew!"

Li Bochen only said in a deep voice: "General Sun, return to the Duke of Chebei." The demon beasts in the valley have been killed by our army, so don't bother!"

There was silence for a moment, and then the man said, "It's Li Bochen...... Is it a commander? It's really a good skill, and it deserves its name. ”

Li Bochen sneered: "We used to be both immeasurable armies, so it is naturally easy to deal with demon beasts. ”

The man didn't say anything more, but rode forward again, and the cavalry behind him slowly followed. When he got closer, he saw that Li Bochen's side was neat and tidy, and all of them looked high-spirited, and the person who led the team stopped.

Li Bochen arched his hand to him and shouted, "Into the valley!"

The people behind him slowly retreated, and he also turned his horse's head and ran into the secret realm. When you enter the secret realm, you can still see the scene outside, but you can't see the inside outside. The general who led the team was stunned for a moment, and the people behind him were also shocked and inexplicable, as if they didn't know where they had gone.

Fang Yan said: "General, who is that person?"

"Sun Feihu. Li Bochen smiled and sighed again, "In the past, I could also forget my life and death." Alas. ”

Sun Feihu's cavalry guarded outside for a while, and then two teams of ten people galloped over cautiously. But Li Bochen mobilized the earth qi to close the entrance, and those people rushed to this place and passed through, but they didn't find anything, so they had to return.

After a while, more than 100 cavalrymen turned their horses and galloped back to the camp, and Li Bochen also ordered the soldiers to dismount and unload.

At this time, the villagers who entered the secret realm were a little frightened and didn't know where they were. Fortunately, Chang Qiuwu came in together at Li Bochen's order, and ran back and forth with those stewards, so that people could rest on the grass for the time being.

Li Bochen was really tired, so he simply sat at the entrance. After a while, Chang Qiuwu came to report with the steward, and he told them where they could go and where there might be danger, and then explained the situation in the river in detail.

When they went to reassure the people, he slowly climbed the cliff next to him, found a small rocky slope and sat down, took off his helmet and looked south.

The walls of the camp have been lit up, and Sui Wuyi's people should also settle down, but tomorrow, I don't know what the situation will be. Sui Wuyi would never allow a mysterious secret realm two or three miles away from his camp, he was already aware of his luck in the Cave Xuan Realm, and he didn't know if there would be any unexpected means.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a slight sound under the cliff, and it was Fang Qi who also climbed up. He had been busy directing the formation of soldiers to patrol and rest in shifts, but at this time he was finally free.

He is indeed a good hand at handling military affairs. Li Bochen said, "Brother Fang, come here to rest." ”

Fang Yan walked up silently, sat down beside him, and turned his face to look south.

The two were silent for a moment, and Fang Yu said, "General, what did you say about the situation in Hou Cheng?" ”

The big cities in the Li realm are all under the control of the occupation forces of the five countries, and they will inevitably hoard grain, grass, and armor in the cities. Even if the masters in the city set up a formation and hid, eating and drinking should not be a problem for a few months or even a year. It's just that it will inevitably have a great impact on ordinary people.

He was about to speak, but his heart suddenly moved.

Fang Yan asked where Hou Cheng was, and his mother in the city!

Li Bochen was stunned, only to feel guilty. To be honest, he really forgot about his mother's incident in the past few days.

He had to whisper: "Brother Fang, I'm really sorry. ”

Fang Yi smiled: "General, what are these words......

But when it came to this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and wipe his face. Li Bochen sighed, thought about it again, and said, "Don't worry." I'm going to settle this matter in the next few daysβ€”it's a big deal, the two of us go out and sneak over, and think of picking up the old man. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that the three words "let go" were really inappropriate, and when he wanted to open his mouth again, Fang Qi said: "General, I know your mind." But not now. ”

Li Bochen opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. If you want to look at it as a prince, lord, or general, it really can't be. Right now, Sui Wuyi is guarding between Hou Cheng and the secret realm, maybe waiting for him to run out.

But for Fang Yan, his mother's safety is more important than the invasion of the Demon Kingdom.

Li Bochen sighed lowly, and was about to grit his teeth and say, "I have made up my mind", but suddenly saw two more troops coming from the direction of the camp. Each one is a hundred-man team and is well equipped. One crossed the entrance to the valley, and the other stopped twenty or thirty paces before the entrance.

Then the officer gave the order, and the soldiers set up camp on the spot, and began to clear the grass and dig the trenches with the baggage they carried, and seemed to be intending to accomplish the work overnight, without resting for a quarter of an hour.

Then someone approached the entrance and stood down, and said in a loud voice: "General Li, although the demon beast has retreated, the Grand Duke is still worried about your safety." Our army is commanded to stay here, and when you come out, we will escort you to the Grand Duke. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Sun Feihu, who had brought the cavalry team before.

Fang Yun got up and said angrily: "It's too much of a bully, they're going to block it?!"

Li Bochen said: "Brother Fang, you go below first to appease people's hearts." ”

In this secret realm, you can see the outside, and the soldiers at the entrance also saw this scene, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. But just now they had just scattered with their own demon beasts, and they wouldn't mess up the morale of the army for a while. But if you really have to be blocked by people outside for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be some problems after all.

Fang Yan saluted and ran down, and Li Bochen looked at Sun Feihu outside on the cliff.

I knew him when I was the ruler of the city of Infinite Measure, and he was also the commander at that time. But the two have little temper and have no friendship. He thinks Sun Feihu is secretive and doesn't talk to people, while Sun Feihu thinks he is a reckless man with a low realm.

I have become this prince now...... Although he only received more than 100 people, he can be regarded as a hundred generals, but in the end he also has a name. People in this world value the word "reputation", and Sun Feihu only calls himself "commander" and "general", I don't know if he is unhappy because of this.

It's just that it's all come to this point, what's the point of thinking about all this? People really think differently.

Sun Feihu walked back after turning around at the entrance again, and Li Bochen didn't have much of the heart to worry about him. In the past, they were both commanders, and they might be able to be opponents, but now, their opponents are Sui Wuyi.

But if they really want to keep guarding it, what should they do? He has not explored all this secret realm, and the area should not be small, perhaps larger than Mengjiatun. The rations brought by more than 1,000 people, plus the things in his realm, may be able to last for more than half a month, but after that, it will be unsustainable...... It's too late to even cultivate.

If it's on the side of the Western Army......

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked to the northwest. I can't see the situation of the Linxi Army camp here, and I don't know if they have repelled the demon beasts and retreated. At this time, the sky was half dark and half bright, clear on their side, and thin clouds on their side, so that the mountains in the distance were also shrouded in darkness, with only vague outlines.

Li Bochen was about to look away, but suddenly found that there seemed to be some black shadows shaking in the mountains over there. He was slightly stunned, suspicious that it was his own delusion. But when I looked at it again, it seemed to be still moving.

At first, he thought it was an optical phenomenon caused by the movement of air currents. For at such a distance, it is the people who are to be seen, and those who must be more than ten meters tall and have to stand on top of the mountains.

But the next moment, he heard a long, low, roar like the Qiang trumpet.
