Chapter 340
Long Xiao led the Longya army to retreat, but ordered the Chiyu army to stay and resist the army of the Demon Soul Kingdom.

When the generals of the Red Feather Army heard this, they didn't know what Long Xiao's plan was. He clearly wanted the Red Feather Army to run back and hold back the Demon Soul Nation's army, so that his [-] elites could escape safely.

"One general is incompetent, and thousands of troops are exhausted! Why is the holy city so stupid to send such a person to command the army? I hate it!" Wu Zhou smashed his spear to the ground and roared angrily.

"Shut up! Stabilize the army, fight and retreat!" Chi Zhongyan turned around and scolded Zhou Wu, and continued to order to stabilize the army.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the situation is now, and Chi Zhongyan can also see it, of course he knows what Long Xiao's plan is.

However, even if you understand, you can't say it.

Cursing Long Xiao now and venting his anger will only distract the army.

Zhou Wu was furious in his heart, but this was not the time to vent his anger.

One hundred thousand Akabane troops have gone deep into the barren land. If no one leads them out, these one hundred thousand heroic souls will be buried here forever.

Although Zhou Wu was angry and hated, he knew that Chi Zhongyan's scolding was right.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his spear, roared, and charged into the army of the Demon Soul Nation, fighting with all his might.

However, the Demon Soul Clan is inherently strong.

Being in a barren land at this time is beneficial to the army of the Demon Soul Nation.

Moreover, not long ago, Long Xiao threatened to destroy the tomb of the ancestors of the Demon Soul Clan, which completely angered the Demon Soul Nation's army.

Now, it can be said that the army of the Demon Soul Nation has taken advantage of the timing, location, and harmony of people.

No matter how tenacious the Akabane Army was, they were only desperately resisting.

Holding the Lihuo Fentian Sword, Qin Yu rushed into the army of the Demon Soul Nation, swiping the blade, and cut out sharp sword lights, cutting down pieces of Demon Soul Nation soldiers like cutting wheat.

However, the Demon Soul Nation's army is huge in number, coming in like a tide, and they can't be killed or killed.

Moreover, the Beast Master of Demon Soul Kingdom is still driving hordes of monsters to rush into the Red Feather Army, biting and killing frantically.

For a while, this barren land became a slaughterhouse for Shura.

Death and killing were intertwined, making the air heavy.

When the Akabane Army and the army of the Demon Soul Kingdom were fighting fiercely.

However, Long Xiao led the [-] elite Dragon Tooth Army and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, even at the cost of sacrificing the rear army.

The Dragon Tooth Army fled with all their strength, and was chased and killed by the Demon Soul Nation's army for more than ten miles. Only after losing the army were they able to escape.

Less than an hour after the start of the battle, the Dragon Tooth Army had already disappeared without a trace.

The Demon Soul Nation's army, which chased down the Dragon Tooth Army, turned around and besieged the Akabane Army.

Under the bitter battle of the Akabane Army, they still fought and retreated.

The left and right armies surrounded the central army, rushing back and forth, barely maintaining the integrity of the army formation.

The battle was fought from morning to night.

With the help of the dark night, the Akabane Army gradually got rid of the hunting and killing of the Demon Soul Nation's army, but they had already suffered heavy casualties.

When they came out of Tianzhu Pass, there were [-] Chiyu soldiers, but now there are less than [-] left, and there are countless wounded.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Chi Zhongyan summoned the generals on the chariot to discuss countermeasures.

The scouts sent back news that the Demon Soul Nation's army was still chasing after them, and they had no intention of letting the Akabane army go.

There are still two days away from Tianzhu Pass, and a bloody battle like the daytime will take at least two more days.

It is impossible for the remaining [-] Akabane Army to withstand such a bloody battle.

What's more, among the [-] Akabane troops, more than half of them were wounded.

Zhou Wu reported the casualties with a serious expression.

Of the [-] Akabane troops alive, nearly [-] were slightly injured and [-] were seriously injured.

The generals gritted their teeth to hold back the anger in their hearts, and discussed countermeasures.

"If the seriously injured soldiers stay in the central army, we will not be able to fight, and we will not be able to escape. This is not the way!" Zhou Wu said sadly.

All the generals fell silent.

In fact, the entire Akabane Army is full of battle-experienced people, and everyone knows in their hearts that in the current situation, the best way is to leave the seriously injured soldiers and speed up the evacuation of the entire army.

However, who will make this decision.

This decision is too heavy. Leaving seriously injured brothers is equivalent to letting them stay and wait to die.

There has always been only one chief general of the Akabane Army, even though Chi Zhongyan has been deprived of his seal of command.

Everyone is waiting for Chi Zhongyan to make a decision.

"General, let's divide up the troops!" Zhou Wu shouted, "I will stay with the wounded brother to delay everyone's time. As long as we return to Tianzhu Pass, the Red Feather Army still has hope!"

"General, let me stay, I will use my last breath to stop the bastards of the Demon Soul Kingdom!" Wei Dalong roared with red eyes.

"General, divide up the troops!" The other generals also hissed.

Chi Zhongyan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Pass my order, all armies will gather those who are seriously injured and unable to fight again to the forward battalion, led by Zhou Wu."

"Zhou Wu, take orders!" Zhou Wu's eyes were red, and he cupped his fists to receive the order, and he was about to go down to lead the wounded soldiers, leaving behind the army of Demon Soul Nation with his own death.

However, he did not wait for him to get off the chariot.

Chi Zhongyan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Zhou Wu leads the vanguard battalion, escorts the wounded soldiers, and returns to Tianzhu Pass from the west!"

Zhou Wu was stunned immediately, and looked back at Chi Zhongyan, his eyes widened: "General! But..."

If it is a ruthless general, facing the current situation of the Akabane Army, the best way is to let the wounded soldiers stay to hold back the enemy, and the Chinese army will move lightly and withdraw to Tianzhu Pass as quickly as possible.

This is the most correct decision.

But Chi Zhongyan finally chose to let Zhou Wu's vanguard battalion escort the wounded soldiers back to Tianzhu Pass.

The main force of the Akabane Army of the military stayed behind, fighting and retreating to resist the army of the Demon Soul Nation.

Chi Zhongyan ignored Zhou Wu, and continued to order: "The whole army of the Chiyu Army obeys the order, turns to the east, fights and retreats, and fights to the end with the army of the Demon Soul Kingdom."

Zhou Wu finally understood Chi Zhongyan's plan after listening to the military order.

The vanguard battalion escorted the wounded soldiers to the west and returned to Tianzhu Pass.

The main force of the Akabane Army turned to the east.

This is to divide the troops into two groups.

No matter which route the Demon Soul Nation's army chooses to pursue, the soldiers on the other route can safely retreat to Tianzhu Pass.

If the army of the Demon Soul Nation also divided up to pursue them, that would also weaken the strength of the army of the Demon Soul Nation, which would be beneficial to both groups of Akabane Army.

Of course, if the Demon Soul Nation's army divides up and kills Zhou Wu's vanguard battalion and wounded soldiers, then the people along the way will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

However, the war between the two countries is inherently cruel.

Chi Zhongyan didn't leave the wounded soldiers where they were to die, he had already given them a way to survive, as for whether they could return to Tianzhu Pass alive, no one knew.

……

Dawn gradually came.

The Akabane army divided into two groups, one west and one east, and retreated separately.

Waiting for dawn, what choice will the army of the Demon Soul Nation make.

Zhou Wu led the vanguard battalion to escort the wounded soldiers, and left first, along the south side of the Tianzhu Mountains, and went straight to Tianzhu Pass.

After the sky gradually dawned, Chi Zhongyan ordered to set off and led the main force of the Chibane Army to go north along the south bank of Luoshui River.

After dawn, the roar of monsters came from a distance.

The army of the Demon Soul Nation came after them, stopped for a while at the branch road, then immediately turned to the east, and continued to chase and kill the main force of the Akabane army.
