Hicks' army began to advance in the direction of Manchuan Pass, preparing to encircle and annihilate Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong's army. At this time, the bad news in the direction of Manchuan Pass officially reached the hands of the two. Coupled with the actions of the elven army in the direction of Nanyue City, the two judged that Zhou Yi and Zhao Mu should have died in the south, otherwise Hicks would not dare to march here regardless of the safety of the rear.

The result of the coincidence was that these two guys ran directly, and the army gave up a qiē and rushed towards Manchuan Pass.

Prince Hicks was directly dumbfounded when he got the news, and he couldn't understand which one the Qinling people were singing! Ignoring the friendly army, he didn't even dare to take a picture and ran away, what kind of southern expedition is this!

However, now that the target has fled, the rest is much easier. Leaving an army to monitor the Qinling army in the direction of Manchuan Pass, he directly led the army to turn and head south.

"Zhou Yi Xiao'er! Hmph, this time the king will see where you are going!" My heart suddenly felt much happier, this is the happy mood of the great revenge that is about to be avenged!

After returning to Nanyue City and explaining the situation to His Royal Highness Ha Wu, Prince Hicks began to arrange his army. All the infantry troops quickly returned to the cities of Baiyue County, and they were not allowed to go out of the city to pursue without a military order, otherwise victory would be a capital crime!

He personally led nearly 300,000 cavalry troops along the trade road in the direction of Wanghai City, and this time he vowed to annihilate the half-elf army led by Zhou Yi in Baiyue County.

"Your Highness, looking at Prince Hicks's posture, it's like a lion fighting a rabbit with all his might! A million and hundreds of thousands of troops are deployed layer by layer, just for a half-elf legion, oh, at most a human legion. Is it really worth it? It's better to attack Manchuan Pass!" Xue Ling said as he stood at the head of Nanyue City with Yu Wu and looked at the departing cavalry from a distance.

"Sister, how can a little maid like you and me intervene in military affairs!" Xue Qin gently tugged at her sleeve next to her, scolding her for not criticizing Prince Hicks' military operations.

"Okay, Qin'er, don't blame her anymore! The three of us don't have to pay so much attention when we are together, but Ling'er should be careful, and when outsiders are present, we must not talk about military affairs!" Originally, she was a little dissatisfied with Hicks's disregard for the overall situation, but when she heard the two maids arguing, she reacted quickly. While instructing Xue Ling, he also explained himself. Perhaps Prince Hicks's actions were not wrong, after all, with such a large enemy army behind him, it was indeed impossible to attack Manchuan Pass with all his might.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, on one side is the army of Hicks rolling south, and on the other hand, three young girls are walking down from the top of the city. From this moment on, the shape of Baiyue County began to take a sharp turn for Zhou Yi.

The two legions stayed in Wanghai City for only two days, replenishing supplies and recuperating their horsepower. Then the Eight Banners Regiment was in front and the Guards Regiment was behind, heading towards Zhongyue City.

Zhou Yi sat on the horse, but he was in an extremely bad mood. The sense of foreboding in my heart yesterday morning was really worrying. Even the huge amount of gold coins harvested in Wanghai City could not alleviate the worries in his heart.

"Is there something wrong? I see that you haven't stretched your brow since yesterday. Zhao Min said that he didn't care about him, but he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Zhao Mu also turned his head when he heard this, his abnormal situation could not be ignored by anyone who cared about him.

"It's just that yesterday I suddenly felt palpitations, and I always wondered if something bad had happened! But I don't know what's wrong. Zhou Yi was a little depressed, anyone who suddenly had such an ominous feeling would be suspicious.

"Brother Zhou, are you too tired lately!When you arrive in Zhongyue City, you can take a good rest!" Zhao Mu thought that he had worked hard during this time, and it took some energy to guide.

Zhao Min rolled his eyes, but suddenly said: "Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple." There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it. Lord Zhou, this article will also be the county lord!"

Hearing her say this, there was a kind of embarrassment of being caught plagiarizing, and the worries in my heart were immediately dispelled. Zhou Yi didn't know why she said this, but when she looked up, she suddenly saw Zhao Min's sly eyes, and she understood everything. A hot current surged in her heart, it turned out that she cared about herself very much! Yes, in this strange world, it seems that only she is still her relative.

"Hey, where did the county lord hear this article! I also know that Brother Zhou's "Teacher Says" will not be long enough!" Zhao Mu was successfully diverted, and it seemed that his attention was indeed easily taken away. belongs to the type that is very easy to fool, and people who are stupid and have money to come quickly may be his true portrayal.

"Oh...... , I also listened to those half-elves and thought it made sense, so I wrote it down!" Under someone's nervous gaze, Zhao Min did not expose the fact of his plagiarism, but the long sound of oh made Zhou Yi's heart tremble. Who knows if the Holy Dao knew that his poems were plagiarized, would he kill himself with a thunderbolt!

When the army arrived at Zhongyue City, Prince Hicks' army did not return to the defense in time, and the city was captured in a light way. This time, Zhou Yi and the others did not stay long, the army replenished grain and grass, burned the remaining military funds and hurriedly marched towards Dongyue City.

Prince Hicks rushed to Wanghai City, and he arranged for the army to return to the defense before it could reach Zhongyue City. Although the places are different, the mood of the two armies is similar. Looking at the burnt and ransacked warehouse, Hicks couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, although he had already been mentally prepared.

The Zhongyue City side immediately reported the whereabouts of Zhou Yi's army to the direction of Nanyue City and Wanghai City, and at the same time closed the city gate tightly to prevent them from killing the horses.

After receiving an urgent report, Hicks was already on his way to Zhongyue City, and in order to catch Zhou Yi, he couldn't rest at all, and the army quickly headed in the direction of Dongyue City.

"No, it's wrong, it must be Gong Hao and the others who have withdrawn, I forgot to count this. Once they withdraw, Hicks will inevitably chase after them, and our army will not be able to continue to march towards Dongyuecheng!" The army was marching, and Zhou Yi suddenly stopped with a pull on the reins. What he had been estimating was that Hicks would definitely besiege Gong Hao and the others regardless of his heading to Wanghai City when he learned that he was heading to Wanghai City. However, what if Gong Hao and the others withdrew their troops and returned to Manchuan Pass? In this case, although they had to take a great political risk, they would dare to harm even the eldest prince, so what political risks would they be afraid of?

Thinking of the consequences of Gong Hao and the others withdrawing their troops, he couldn't help but shudder. It was simply terrifying, and he and the others would be surrounded by an army of millions of elves. Judging by Hicks' dealings with himself, this scenario is highly likely.

"Someone! Quickly inquire about the situation in Zhongyue City! See if there is a new elven army coming! Quickly report back!" Zhou Yi ordered the scout team to hurry back towards Zhongyue City.

"Brother Zhou, Gong Hao and the others don't dare! Abandon the friendly army and retreat without authorization, this is a crime that should be beheaded by military discipline! Aren't they afraid that Teacher Huangfu will make trouble!" Zhao Mu followed and grabbed the war horse, saw him instructing the scout, and interjected.

"Brother, we are deep behind enemy lines, and the slightest mistake will be a catastrophe, so we must guard against Gong Hao and others!" Zhao Mu did not fully explain, but simply said that he hurriedly let the whole army rest on the spot and wait for the news of the scouts.

Turning over and dismounting, he handed over the reins to his soldiers, and walked to the tree by the side of the trade road and sat down on the ground. Seeing this, Zhao Mu had no choice but to dismount and come over.

Zhao Min sat on horseback, thinking about the meaning of Zhou Yi's words, and a trace of realization surged through, and he was quite helpless to have such an ally behind him.

"Brother, it's not that I'm too careful, but I have a hunch that Gong Hao and the others must have withdrawn. It is estimated that we will be followed by hundreds of thousands of elven chasing soldiers behind us! If Hicks were to learn of our marching route, he would definitely arrange heavy guards on the way back to Manchuan Pass. ”

"Is the situation really so strict?!" Zhao Mu also became nervous when he heard this, if that was the case, he and the others would be dead!

"I hope my hunch is wrong, this result is a bit grim!"

"It's not that you can make it come true if you wish, I guess there must be a large number of chasing soldiers behind us! Don't you think it's normal that we haven't encountered any obstacles along the way? Let's sneak attack Wanghai City, if Hicks is attacking the Gong Hao you said with all his might, how can he not arrange a blockade on the back road to prevent us from going north!

But you have also seen that we went all the way north, and there was no obstacle at all! That means that your inference is correct, that Gong Hao has withdrawn, Hicks should be arranging how to encircle and suppress us!" Zhao Min led the horse and walked over, and bluntly pointed at Zhou Yi's words of comfort to Zhao Mu.

"Well, this place is not too far from Zhongyue City, and the horsepower of the scouts is estimated to be able to get the news at noon. If there is indeed a new army in Zhongyue City, it means that we should already be heavily guarded behind us, and we must make plans early!" Zhou Yi finished speaking, lying down, closing his eyes and recuperating. At the same time, it is also analyzing and calculating how to deal with the worst-case scenario, so that the winner of the temple calculation is qualified to win and survive.

Although Zhao Min is still a little resistant to him, compared to others, he is still half a hometown after all. She strode heroically in front of Zhou Yi and sat cross-legged beside her to rest.

The wait was not long, and before noon, I saw more than a dozen scouts running back panting, and when they saw where the handsome flag was, they quickly turned over and dismounted and galloped over.

"Marshal, there is indeed an army of elves in Zhongyue City. Judging from the military flags on the head of the city, it is probably about two armies. The scout clenched his fists and said, looking at Zhou Yi for the next order.

"Thank you for your hard work! your information is very important, take the first credit!" he waved his hand and told them to go down and rest. Zhou Yi turned his head to Zhao Mu and said, "The worst is coming!"
