The Alchemist God

This is just a supply team that was attacked, but it also means that there will be other teams that will be attacked by the Shenyi Army on this night, and it will definitely not be the only one.

Lin Muyu faintly felt a chill down his spine, Gong Shangming seemed to know that he would retreat, how did he do it.

Your Highness, what should I do?

Wei Chou was a little dazed, and stood in a pool of blood holding the Demon Devouring Bow.

We can't go directly to Cangnan Province. Lin Muyu said in a very soft voice, We can't let the rest of the team be attacked. Listen to my orders and release all the scouts. The rest of the people will follow me on the road and cover the road from Winter Frost City along the way. The retreating team.

Yes, this subordinate will do it now.

...

Until the early hours of the morning, Lin Muyu's 10,000-step cavalry once again killed two teams of the Shenyi Army who came to attack, but there were too many people returning to Cangnan Province from Dongshuang City, and many teams along the way were attacked. Attack, and not just the army, some merchant teams were also attacked by the Shenyi army.

Treading snow kept snorting, and he was a little tired after running around all night, not to mention other horses, some of which were even foaming at the mouth, and had to take a rest, otherwise the whole team would collapse Lose.

At this time, the sky began to rain, a rain in early summer.

Situ Xue held up a green oil-paper umbrella and stood beside Lin Muyu to shield her from the rain, but Lin Muyu gently pushed her hand away and said with a wry smile: Axue, no need, thank you, let's move now .”

Transfer... Situ Xue blinked her eyes wide: Where is the transfer?

Everyone is tired. Go to a nearby village to rest for a while, feed the horses, and eat something. Otherwise, many people will not be able to survive.

Yes.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, pouring on everyone's armor, but no one wants to take shelter from the rain, but they just meander forward in the muddy water and still maintain their formation. This is the military might of the Gendan Battalion, replaced by ordinary local troops , I am afraid that the lineup has long been scattered and sheltered from the rain.

The horseshoes on the snow walked along the potholes, Lin Muyu looked up at the sky, and a powerful aura was rushing towards him, it was Wu Tong with the ice palm.

brush.

With a ray of icy air falling in front of Lin Muyu, Wu Tong respectfully clasped his fists and said, Headman, my subordinates have inquired about the direction of Winter Frost City. The Winter Frost City was occupied shortly after we left yesterday. The occupants are a group of cavalry regiments who call themselves the Shenyi Army, with a number of about 30,000.

Thirty thousand cavalry. Lin Muyu frowned: Do they have any other actions?

have.

Bingzhang Wu Tong said: My subordinates found out that Custer, the commander of the Liuji Corps, has also left the Luohe Estuary Fortress with the fastest beast cavalry and heavy cavalry, and gathered with the cavalry of the Shenyi Army in Winter Frost City. In this way, they have about 100,000 cavalry, and a large number of cavalry left Winterfrost City and rushed to this place an hour ago.

What did you say, they rushed here.

yes.

Lin Muyu frowned and stopped talking.

Wei Chou whispered: Your Highness, guess what Gong Shangming wants to do.

This is the last thing Lin Muyu wants to guess. Gong Shangming seems to have understood everything, and every attack is aimed at his weakest position. Lin Muyu clenched his fist and said, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Cangnan Province.

Why? Situ Sen and Situ Xue asked in amazement.

Because Gong Shangming didn't let us go.

Lin Muyu wiped the rain from his chin, and said: They gathered all the cavalry in order to kill us to the greatest extent before we arrived at Cangnan Province. If we continue to go towards Cangnan Province... I am afraid we will reach Dao There was not much left when the Jiangxi Iron and Steel retaining wall, no, we can’t go to Cangnan province anymore.”

There is only one way. Wei Chou squinted his eyes and said, We gather all the troops and baggage teams, wait for the rabbits along the way, and fight them to the death, so that we may be able to force them back, otherwise, we will only die. On the way to escape, our team was too scattered, so scattered that we couldn't fight back at all.

No, there is another way.

any solution.

Lin Muyu looked towards the south through the rain curtain, and said: This place is closer to Qinling Mountains. We can't move fast when we mix infantry and cavalry, but once we enter Qinling Mountains, this disadvantage no longer exists. In the mountains, they are just pure cavalry and us. The speed of the mixed infantry and cavalry units is the same, we go all the way along Baimang Mountain into the Lingkong Province, directly reach Zhanlongguan, and meet Xu Jiantao's troops, this is the only way.

But... Wei Chou frowned and said, Zhanlong Pass now not only has Xu Jiantao, but also exiles the Angel Corps. I'm afraid this may not be the best choice, Your Highness.

It's better than sitting still and waiting to die, that's it, there's no need to discuss any more.

Lin Muyu waved his hand lightly: After entering the village, rest for three hours, and then send out a feather letter, ordering all the surrounding imperial troops who are too late to retreat to gather here, and then go to Qinling together.

yes.

...

Fortunately, the rain in early summer stopped after only a short while. After the day cleared, two teams came together, one was Su Yu's Qinlong Army, and the other was Zeng Yifan's Shenwei Battalion. The Qinlong Army still has 8,000 troops, and the Shenwei Battalion has more than 10,000 people. In addition, Lin Muyu's Gendan Battalion has 10,000 cavalry and part of the garrison of Winter Frost City. They quickly gathered around this small village. Forty thousand troops.

After the team set off, another team gathered along the way. It was another branch of the Longdan Battalion. There were more than 7,000 people. Together, the total number of troops was close to 50,000.

But other than that, there were still a large number of civilians who were unwilling to leave, but many of them didn't leave when they saw King Qin's flag, and followed the team from a distance, unable to drive them away.

Situ Sen came from the tail of the team with his sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: Your Highness, the situation is not good. The people of Winterfrost City and the surrounding states and counties are unwilling to leave. What should we do? If we take them, Not to mention that the target is too big, and it will slow down our marching speed, how can this be good, or... the subordinates sent cavalry to disperse them.

No.

Lin Muyu hurriedly raised his hand: You can't be so arrogant, if you really do this, we won't even think about going back to Lingdong province in the future.

Then what to do.

Follow me to have a look.

yes.

When Lin Muyu brought Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Su Yu and others to the tail of the army, dense crowds of civilians followed from afar. Some were driving donkey carts, all of them looked tired, and many people's clothes were still soaked. No one escaped the heavy rain just now.

King Qin.

It's His Royal Highness King Qin.

His Royal Highness King Qin is here...

The commoners recognized the King of Qin, and quickly fell to the ground and knelt down. To the common people, the King of Qin was the only symbol of the Qin family. It was because of him that the Qin army had the courage to continue dealing with powerful enemies.

Lin Muyu got off his horse and said with a gentle expression: Fathers and elders, the 300,000 troops of the Tianji Empire are about to kill here in a blink of an eye. Lin Muyu is incompetent, with few soldiers and few generals. He can't resist the powerful enemy and can only give up Lingdong. You all escape Go, don't follow the army, I swear, as long as there is a chance, I will lead the imperial army to fight back and regain the lost ground.

An old man stood up tremblingly with a cane, and said: Your Highness, we are already homeless. There are not only thieves and bandits along the way, but also bandits and bullies on the mountain. If we don't follow His Highness's army, I'm afraid we will die...Your Highness, no matter where you go, we are willing to follow you, please don't abandon us...

The rest of the people echoed together, and even wailed loudly, mourning everywhere.

Lin Muyu frowned. He was not a hypocritical person. He had never met these people before and had no ties to them, but he knew that if he refused such a request, the Qin family would lose the hearts of Lingdong people. With their support, it will be even more difficult to regain Lingdong by then.

He pondered for a while, and said loudly: Everyone can follow, but if you have a chance to live in a nearby village along the way, don't hesitate. If you follow me, you will be displaced and suffer a lot, and our army's rations are originally It’s not enough, I can’t distribute it to you anymore, I hope everyone can understand my difficulties, and I can follow along, but the imperial army can no longer be dragged down by the people, otherwise we won’t even have the capital to make a comeback.”

Yes, Your Highness, we all know.

Your Highness, we will never drag down the army.

Your Highness, please rest assured.

The people spoke eloquently.

...

But in the evening, a group of beast cavalry from the Tianji Empire appeared on the horizon, and the people fled in all directions.

Jie Jie...

In the air, a giant black eagle was circling. It was the Wolf Falcon of the Dragon Knight. Presumably, Gong Shangming had already found the main force of the imperial army. Nothing can be undone.

Here they come.

Ling Shusheng descended from the sky and said, There are at least 50,000 cavalrymen. In addition, there are nearly 50 dragon knights. I seem to feel the aura of the God Emperor faintly. Bei Minghuan should also come.

Wei Chou begged: Your Highness, let's fight, we can't just hide like this.

No.

Lin Muyu's voice was calm: We don't have magic crystal cannons, and we don't have too many magic heart arrows and white diamond arrows, and they also have an elite army from the Shenyi Army, let alone our current 50,000 patchwork army, even if it is In its heyday, the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Long Dan Battalion may not be able to defeat them, they cannot fight, they can only retreat, pass the order, the whole army keeps marching at the Qinling Mountains, leaving the 2,000 men of the third battalion behind to resist them.

Wei Chou's voice trembled: Your Highness, are you going to send the two thousand brothers from the third battalion to die?

Lin Muyu nodded, but did not deny it.

Situ Sen stood aside in astonishment. After so many years, Lin Muyu has indeed changed. He has become less strong and fierce, but has also become more calm and stable. He has a clear understanding of what he holds and what he abandons. Although he has changed, he is more qualified to serve in the army. Commander, only such a person can turn the tide and turn the tide.

However, Situ Xue saw Lin Muyu's tightly clenched hand, the veins were bulging, and her fingertips almost pierced herself. She couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and said, Your Highness, let my brother pass the order...

Um.

Lin Muyu patted Taxue's head and said, Keep marching at a speed, don't stop.

yes.

...

Under the setting sun, a group of 2,000-man infantry left the formation holding heavy shields and spears. Under the order of the battalion commander, they smashed the shields to the ground one after another. The spears pierced through the gaps in the shields. Looking straight at the densely packed invading enemies in the distance, it was as if a steel wall had been formed in the open field, but this steel wall was made of flesh and blood.
