Standing on the cliff, layers of hazy sky seem to be pressing on the top of the head, and the treacherous dark clouds are constantly rolling, as if they are going to swallow all creatures in the world at any time.

The Tianhuoyuan, which had been silent all night, was once again filled with the shouts of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, and the clanging of gold and iron, and the sound of strong wind poured into the ears of everyone on the top of the cliff. The extremely stimulating pain Sensation, from the eardrum to the brain.

Atobe sat on the boulder, holding the saber with both hands, looking down at the shadow of the saber, light and sword, and turned on his back. Others only saw his face as calm as water, but did not notice the dark fire flickering deep in his pupils.

Qingguo's crossbows and arrows fired at once, and Li Haijun fell down a large area amidst the screams; but another Li Haijun surrounded from the flanks, held out their spears, and rushed into Qingguo's archers. It was hard to tell who would win who for a while. Negative, only heard one after another, screaming in chaos.

"Hahahahaha!" Ajiujin, who had always kept a cold face and said nothing, suddenly looked up to the sky and burst into a series of wanton laughter.

Atobe gave him a sideways look, and when he had laughed enough, he asked lightly, "What are you laughing at?"

Yajiujin smiled cruelly and arrogantly, "Isn't it funny? If one more person from the following group dies, I will save myself a little effort!"

Standing beside him, Qianshi couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help reminding him, "Lord Yakutsu, His Highness Atobu is the commander of the coalition forces of the two countries, you'd better be careful what you say..."

"What? He's the coach, you want me to listen to him?" Yajiujinho turned his head and stared at Qianshi with a pair of eyes that were more white than black.

Atobu sneered, "Why, when you came, didn't the lord of your country tell you to obey my master?"

"No one dares to give orders to me yet!" Atobe's arrogant attitude and sharp tone aroused Akutsu's fury, and he jumped in front of the boulder.

"What do you want to do?" Feng, Huadi and Jirou flashed out from behind Atobe, all with angry and guarded faces.

"What, do you want to do it?" Ya Jiujin pressed the handle of the knife, and the scene seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

"My lords, stay safe and don't be impatient." Suddenly a soft and refreshing voice came in.

Seeing that it was Guan Yue who was walking slowly between the two groups of people, Atobu twitched his lips and did not try to stop him.

"Feng-kun, Huadi-kun, Akutsu-sama is the lord of the alliance, we can't be rude. Since the two countries have an alliance agreement, Yamabuki is also a big country with faith, Akutsu-sama, you'd better act according to the agreement." Guanyue said softly. Talking slowly is like pouring a ladle of cold water on a sparking fuze at the right time.

Atobe made a look, and Feng and the others retreated angrily.

The strange thing is that Guanyue's words are quite effective against the rebellious Yajiujin. He threw away his saber angrily, turned his head and glared at Jibu again, "Okay, please give orders, Your Highness?"

"What order do you want my uncle to give?" Atobe was still calm.

"The two groups of idiots below are almost done fighting, shouldn't it be time for us to play?"

"When the time comes, my uncle will naturally give the order, isn't Lord Akutsu impatient?"

"You, you—"

After Atobe finished speaking, he turned his face away and ignored him. Annoyed, Akutsu couldn't swallow his breath, and didn't dare to explode immediately. He naturally turned his gaze to Guanyue, but the latter pretended not to see it, and could only hold back his anger. on the spot.

Guanyue tried to find the figure that he had always missed in the chaotic battle formation, but looking down, he could only see dense banners, people and horses intertwined, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

I originally thought that if I let Yutai go back to Qingguo, I would be able to concentrate on my great cause. Compared with the dignity, honor and disgrace of the royal family, and the continuous generation, this unexpected love is just a flower that blooms and fades, beautiful in an instant That's all.

And at this moment, every time he heard a scream, or every time a soldier fell, his heart would tighten, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was any innocent, enthusiastic and stubborn person splashed on the desert yellow sand. Young blood?

Guanyue tried her best to maintain a peaceful smile on her face, but she couldn't control the loss of heartbeat and the layers of cold sweat oozing from the roots of her hair.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dense gongs from below, which made him hesitate.

This is... Ming Jin's retreat?Guan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fuck it!" Yajiujin gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, and kicked a big rock down the cliff with a resentful kick.

"You all wait outside the tent, don't disturb the medical officer to treat their wounds!" Tezuka's attitude was firm and he would not be violated, he blocked all the emotional subordinates from the tent.

He was about to put down the curtain, when a person flashed out from the crowd, strode forward and protested loudly, "No, I must go in and watch!"

This boy is his younger brother Yuta, his cheeks are flushed with excitement, and his eyes are bloodshot.

Tezuka hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, come with me."

The medical officer had already cut off the clothes of Fujisuke and Kawamura Takashi, and cleaned their wounds, and the shocking new creation could be seen more clearly.

There was a big hole in Fuji's left shoulder, from the shoulder to the back, which was obviously pierced by someone else; Kawamura had a long cut from the chest to the abdomen.

Although Bu Er gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold on, his face was already pale, dripping with cold sweat, and his body seemed to fall down at any moment.Hecun, who was on the other bed, had already passed out from the pain.

"Is your injury serious?" Fuji Yuta called out anxiously, but he didn't dare to go up rashly.

"I'm fine, Yuta." Fuji forced a smile, then asked Tezuka, "Kawamura, what happened to him? Has everyone withdrawn?"

"Don't worry, they are all withdrawn, and Li Hai is unable to catch up for the time being." Tezuka turned slightly sideways, allowing Fuji to see the medical officer busy around Kawamura, "As for Kawamura, he was seriously injured. Sent back to the country for medical treatment, and you too."

"Me too? If I go back, then here..." After halfway through the question, Buer smiled wryly and shut his mouth. He was so hurt that he could do nothing even if he stayed.

Tezuka bowed his head and thought for a while, then said something that surprised everyone, "I plan to withdraw my troops and return to Qingguo."

"Withdraw, all the troops?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to withdraw our troops? I thought about it before, but, Lord Tezuka, if we withdraw our troops, the Li Navy will take advantage of the momentum to catch up, and the entire border will retreat by then. The consequences... Sigh!"

Fuji sighed heavily, and didn't want to say any more, so as not to touch Tezuka's mind.

The two countries were originally evenly matched, but that disease caused Tezuka to be exiled to the Ice Emperor, which caused Qingguo's army to be shaken and the hearts of the people were not in harmony, which allowed Lihaiguo to seize the advantage. I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore the decline.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure."

"Ah, I would like to hear more about it!"

Tezuka's words made Fuji's dim eyes suddenly brighten, and he wanted to stand up as he was used to, but it touched the wound, and a gust of blood gushed out again.

"elder brother!"

"My lord, please sit still!"

Yu Tai and the medical officer hurried forward, one supporting and the other pressing.

"I'm sorry..." Fuji smiled apologetically, returned to the couch and sat down, still looking at Tezuka expectantly.

Tezuka stood with his hands behind his back, looking down, his eyes were deep, and he said every word very cautiously, "I am going to divide the troops into two groups, and the main force will be led by Oishi to retreat. I will bring 500 troops with me to break the rear. In case the Lihai soldiers pursue, You can also block it for a while, let the army withdraw to the country, and buy time to deploy defenses at the border."

"It's absolutely impossible! Master Tezuka, with a mere 500 troops, how can you stop Lihai's pursuers?" Even though he was held down by Yuta and couldn't move, he was shocked.

"Why, do you not trust me, or do you want to disobey the military order?" Tezuka's indifferent tone revealed unshakable persistence.

"No no, Master Tezuka, I..." Fuji has never been like this, anxious and at a loss for words.

If you continue to spend a long time on the Tianhuo Plain with the Lihai Kingdom, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to your own side. Besides, there is now an Ice Emperor who is eyeing a tiger with unknown enemies.

Tezuka's strategy is correct, let a small group of people take risks, but it can buy time for the army to retreat. Looking at the generals in front of the battle, there is indeed no one whose command ability and combat ability surpass Tezuka. Leading is naturally the most suitable.

It's just that there is a huge gap between the number of people and the widows, in case Tezuka has something good or bad in this battle...

Fuji couldn't help shivering, not daring to think about it anymore, and heard Tezuka categorically say in his ear: "That's the decision, you can heal your wounds at ease, and I will discuss it with everyone later."

"Wait!" Fuji Yuta stretched out his arms to stop Tezuka.

"Yuta, this is a major military matter, don't interfere." Fuji whispered to stop his younger brother, he really couldn't add any more trouble to Tezuka right now.

"Master Tezuka, I am not opposed to your decision." Yuta took a deep breath, and raised his jaw stubbornly, "I am asking you, let me follow you, and we will end the army together!"

"What did you say?" No less shocked than hearing Tezuka announce his decision, Yuta is his only younger brother!

"Brother, I am a warrior from the Qing Kingdom, and I am also your younger brother. Let me cover you and everyone retreating."

"Yuta..." With these words, Fuji had no room to refute.

How long has it been, and I finally heard him call brother so sincerely, Yuta, he has really grown into a man!

In the Lihai camp, there was also a group of restless rushing around, busy treating wounded soldiers everywhere, while Yukimura, Yagyu and the others surrounded Sanada Genichiro anxiously.

The medical officer said in embarrassment: "Master Sanada, there are too many injured people, and Mafeisan has been used up, so I can only ask you to bear it."

Sanada's upper body was bare, his waist was straight, and he sat cross-legged. He simply answered three words, "Let's do it."

The medical officer held the shaft of the arrow, calmed down, and suddenly exerted force to pull it out. Even though he immediately covered the wound with a clean cotton cloth, blood still splashed on the skirt of the nearest one, Yukimura.

Sanada's cheeks were tense, like black and cold pig iron, and he didn't even groan, but his forehead was covered with bean-sized sweat.

"How is it, medical officer, is Sanada-sama alright?" Yukimura asked impatiently.

"Return to Your Highness, fortunately the arrow was not coated with poison. Although your lord's injury is not serious, you can't fight in battle anymore." The medical officer replied in fear, and after a while, he finally said boldly, "The medicinal materials in the barracks Seeing that it is exhausted, if there are a large number of wounded, I am afraid, I am afraid it will be unsustainable!"

Several Lihai military generals around him all cast their eyes on Yukimura. In their eyes, more or less, they all tried their best to hide what they dare not and cannot reveal as samurai at this moment.

Yukimura was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, "Understood."

The medical officer picked off the rust-stained flesh for Sanada, cleaned the wound, applied wound medicine, and wrapped it tightly with cloth.

Everyone in the tent is a brave general, but watching the gleaming knives scrape Sanada's body back and forth, watching the sweat rolling down his cheeks, they can't help trembling with their hearts.

The return of Tezuka Kunimitsu really boosted the morale of Qing Guo's army and increased its combat power. After this battle, Qing Guo suffered heavy losses, but Li Hai also suffered a serious loss of vitality. How far forward?

The goal set at the beginning to break through the border of the Qing Dynasty and take advantage of the victory to attack the mainland, now looks like it has become more difficult.

With great difficulty, the medical officer raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said weakly, "It's ok." The big stone in everyone's heart fell slightly.

The medical officer and the servants were busy packing their things, while Yukimura slowly sat down beside Sanada, and unexpectedly waved to the generals, "It's fine for me to watch over Sanada-sama, you all go out and rest."

"Yes." Everyone did not dare to disobey, and all silently withdrew.

Yukimura picked up Sanada's robe and put it on for him, heaving a deep sigh.

The two sat silently facing each other for a while, and Sanada suddenly asked, "Does Your Highness want to retreat?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

"..."

Sanada shut his mouth and looked at Yukimura, although he didn't say a word, his eyes were enough to express everything.

Yukimura smiled wryly, "We have been together for more than ten years, and we even like the same person. It seems that I really have nothing to hide from you. This feeling is really bad."

"So I guessed right?"

"I don't know now. If we retreat, all the previous efforts will come to naught. If we continue to attack Qingguo, we don't know whether our troops and supplies can support it. Besides..."

Yukimura gave Sanada a helpless and self-deprecating expression, the latter immediately understood, but he could only respond in silence, because this "let's talk" did not refer to anyone else, it was Keigo Atobe who made them both headache and distressed !
