Chapter 392: Breaking

There was silence nearby, and the enemy army that had originally stepped forward like a surging force was killed and retreated by the sergeant brought by Ye Guan, and pushed behind the forest not far away, as if they were afraid of the force of the East Wangfu, and they did not come forward for a long time.

Above the ground, the bright red blood was washed away by the heavy rain and merged into a stream on the ground, bright red, flowing down the mountain.

Koron stood silently in the middle of the clearing, the heavy rain washing away the blood stains on his body, revealing the color of his original armor.

On the general's armor, there were countless wounds, large and small, and the entire armor was almost dilapidated.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, everyone didn't move, just watched quietly, looking at General Ding Jiang in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

A cold intent surged from the bottom of Ye Guan's heart, he knew what was happening, but he couldn't believe his eyes at all, until ......

The heavy rain continued to drip down on Koron's body, deforming his original position, and his entire body began to slide slowly, as if he was about to fall.

Ye Guan immediately stepped forward and stabilized Kou Long's body so that he would not fall into the blood.

It's cold. Koron's body had lost a bit of temperature, as if it had been mixed with the cold rain.

Holding Kou Long tightly in his arms, letting the rain hit his face, at this moment, even Ye Guan himself couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face.

Strong feelings of self-blame and guilt appeared in Ye Guan's heart, making him almost crazy, but on the surface, Ye Guan became calm like an animal.

He gently placed Koron's body on the side of the tree trunk, reached out, closed his eyes that were still open, stood quietly for a while, did not say anything, turned around, and walked towards the jungle where the enemy army was entrenched.

The hundreds of soldiers of the Eastern Wangfu behind Ye Guan also knew what was happening, but none of them shed tears, and none of them collapsed. They silently passed through Ko Long's corpse, gently touched the armor on his shoulder, and then, lifting their weapons, silently followed behind Ye Guan.

At such a moment, there is no need to say more.

The general of the Dongwangfu Guards, the rank of four-rank general, enlisted in the army for 20 years, and the general Kou Long, who had countless achievements, died in the Zongqiu Mountain, in this vast jungle, and slept for a long time.

Accompanying the burial were hundreds of Qiu Changcheng soldiers, all of whom were killed with a single sword, without any mud and water.

If you take a closer look at the corpses of these enemy soldiers who were killed by General Kou Long, you will inevitably find that Kou Long must have encountered a sneak attack by a master in the process of fighting them, otherwise with the combat ability of these soldiers, it would be difficult to kill Kou Long.

But now the thoughts in the minds of Ye Guan and all the sergeants are to kill the enemy in front of them and avenge Kou Long, how can they have the heart to check the corpse, not to mention that the current situation does not allow it, they don't even have time to sort out Kou Long's corpse.

Ye Guan's face was cold, and the cyan robe was worn on his body, which had already been wet by the rain, and it was tightly attached to his body, showing his slender body. With the long sword in hand, he stared at the enemy soldiers who were about to move not far in front of him, and slowly walked forward.

The group of sergeants behind him spontaneously formed a formation behind Ye Guan, which was an all-attack formation, and all the sergeants' blades were horizontal in front of their chests, and their eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

"Click!"

A loud lightning sound came, and at this moment, Ye Guan's figure disappeared.

In the next instant, several enemy soldiers were sprayed with blood and died.

The silver sword light swayed wantonly, ruthlessly harvesting life, and at this moment, Ye Guan's mood was like this cold rain, without any fluctuations.

The same is true of the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, who rushed forward without fear of death, fell into the enemy's formation, and desperately waved the blades in their hands, like killing machines, ignoring the enemy's counterattack.

The entire Dongwangfu army, under the leadership of Ye Guan, went straight into the enemy army, slashing wantonly, venting the anger in his heart. At this moment, no one is retreating, only thinking about killing and killing all the enemies in front of them.

The more you go to the depths of the woods to kill, the more the number of enemy troops, in this process, there are also scattered Dongwangfu sergeants into the large army, led by Ye Guan, the entire Dongwangfu army is like a sharp sword, straight into the throat of the enemy, where it passes, it looks at it, and it actually forms an indomitable momentum, no matter how many enemy troops, it can't resist.

At this moment, Ye Guan's eyes were already blood-red.

He never expected that he would be one step too late after all, and that Kolong would die in this jungle, which he couldn't accept anyway.

The anger of renunciation was present in his chest, making him more and more calm. While constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy, he also thought about how to get out of the troops.

Now, because of Kou Long's death and his own accession, the soldiers of the Eastern Palace's mansion have shown unprecedented combat power, but this momentum cannot be maintained for too long, if they can't rely on this momentum to fight their way out of the encirclement, once stopped, the consequences will be the annihilation of the entire army.

But now is not the time to retreat.

If Ye Guan ordered to retreat now, such an indomitable momentum would disappear immediately, and an endless sense of fatigue would immediately fill everyone's bodies, and the troops would collapse at the touch of a button and become vulnerable.

At this moment, we can only move forward and kill the enemy's encirclement to achieve a glimmer of life.

The enemy army really did not send elite troops, Ye Guan only needed to use a small amount of fighting energy, he could easily kill the enemy, with his huge fighting energy reserves and advanced cultivation, this kind of different sergeant in front of him, like a baby without resistance, but even so, Ye Guan could feel the consumption of his fighting energy.

He was like that, and even more so with the other sergeants.

In the middle of nowhere, you can't see the end of the jungle.

The dripping rain kept falling, cooling the entire jungle and trying to extinguish the flames in the hearts of the soldiers.

The night was very deep, and the jungle in the heavy rain was dark.

After killing the enemy army in front of him, Ye Guan stopped.

He couldn't see what was going on in front of him, and in front of him, several towering trees lay in the middle, and there was no gap between them, like a wooden wall rising from the ground, blocking his way.

The group of enemy troops who fled the way got into the gap in the trees and did not come out again, Ye Guan stood quietly in the distance, gasping slightly.

The group of East Wangfu sergeants gathered behind him formed a neat phalanx behind Ye Guan. At the same time that Ye Guan led the team forward to kill, most of the originally scattered soldiers of the Dongwangfu had returned, and now, on this side of the road, most of the four thousand sergeants had returned, and there were about three thousand three hundred at this moment, and the rest of the sergeants were self-evident.

No one spoke, and the only sound around them was the sound of raindrops the size of beans hitting the trees, and the sound of "popping" was connected into a line, as if playing some kind of music.

Ye Guan was silent, the situation in front of him had reached a critical point, if he led the team through this gap now, behind it, it was likely that there would be a large army of the enemy, and a bloody battle was inevitable, with the number of enemy troops, not to mention three thousand three hundred people, even ten times more, there might be no return.

Ye Guan looked back at the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion who were standing like pines behind them, the cold rain hit their faces, as if they were unconscious, they didn't squint, they were looking at Ye Guan, waiting for him to give the order from behind. Even if Ye Guan asked them to die later, these people would not have any ambiguity.

The battle has been fought to such an extent that words can no longer describe it.

The sound of swords in the distance slowly weakened, and I didn't know whether on the other side of the road, my own men and horses were wiped out, or they had broken out of the siege and entered the city.

"Retreat. Ye Guan's face was calm, and he said this softly, and the sergeants in front of him did not hesitate at all, and immediately changed the front and quickly retreated.

On the retreating road, there were no more enemy sergeants, and when Ye Guan led the team to rush forward, all the enemy soldiers he saw were killed, without exception.

The process of retreat was much simpler than Ye Guan imagined, in the gaps in the trees in front of him, there were no enemy troops killed again, and in the process of retreating, no enemy masters appeared, let alone any ambushes.

When all the sergeants withdrew from the camp, Ye Guan found that the royal sergeants who were originally on the other side of the mountain road had also retreated back and joined the camp in the original road.

Four thousand sergeants were stationed on both sides, and now less than six thousand have returned.

All the sergeants were concentrated in the camp, and it was evident that everyone, including their generals, was at a loss.

The enemy army seemed to have retreated suddenly, giving the soldiers of the Dongwangfu who were already in a desperate situation a glimmer of life, and they actually retreated so easily.

The sergeants suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, but they couldn't be happy when they thought of their comrades who had just died in battle. Especially when the retreating sergeants learned the news of General Koron's death, their feelings of sadness and resentment immediately exaggerated the entire barracks.

The rain was still falling, Ye Guan stood quietly in the rain, looking at the mountains on the left and right, his heart was a little heavy.

Obviously, the enemy released the sergeant of Dongwangfu this time, but he didn't know what it was for.

The enemy used so many means and lost so many lives of the soldiers, just to besiege and annihilate the army of the Eastern Palace, but now it is so easy for them to retreat, it is unbelievable that such a thing happened.

Countless thoughts immediately appeared in Ye Guan's mind, making him involuntarily want to see through the enemy's intentions, but he shook his head suddenly, shaking such emotions out of his mind.

Before, he had always wanted to see through the enemy's intentions and take the lead in strategy, but it turned out that this road would not work, and he could not walk in front of Tianqing City. At this moment, since the enemy has sent the soldiers of Dongwangfu back to the camp, he must immediately implement the next plan, bring all the soldiers back to Zhu'an City, and retreat along the road arranged before.

"Assemble! Immediately withdraw to Zhu'an City, evacuate through the back door, immediately!" Ye Guan turned his head and immediately gave an order to the sergeant behind him, and as soon as his voice came out, the originally somewhat dull camp immediately reacted. Ye Guan's position in the hearts of the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, there is no substitute, and his orders, no matter at any time, will be carried out.

Although there were still many sergeants who wanted to go back and retrieve General Koulong's body so that they could be buried, they also knew that at this time, there were no conditions to do such a thing. Although it is not known why the enemy suddenly retreated, such an opportunity will not appear a second time.

The troops quickly assembled, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they had already pulled out of the camp and headed straight for Zhu'an City, Ye Guan followed the troops, leading the remaining group of people and horses to return to Zhu'an City.

At the head of Zhu'an City, the sergeant in charge of defense was overjoyed when he saw Ye Guan leading the troops back, and immediately opened the city gate and welcomed all the sergeants back.

Entering the city, Ye Guan ordered the city gate to be closed, all the sergeants immediately began to defend, the newly withdrawn sergeants immediately pulled out and evacuated along the road behind, and most of the sergeants who originally stayed in Zhu'an City also withdrew immediately when the enemy attack was repelled again.

After arranging all the matters, watching the sergeants outside the city evacuate along the back door, Ye Guan's mind became even heavier.

He became more and more unable to understand the intentions of the enemy, what was the purpose of the tactics they had used? Could it be that they were luring their own sergeants out and intercepting them halfway?

But after thinking about it for a while, Ye Guan gave up this idea, if the enemy army had ambushes on the back road, Ren Zijin's battle report should have been sent back a long time ago, and the number of sergeants he led out of the city was quite large, and it was impossible to be annihilated by the enemy army in such a short period of time, and there would always be news coming back.

The enemy must have known that he would arrange for the sergeants to retreat through the back door, but they did not ambush them halfway, why on earth?
