Chapter 1694

"They are hiding in the shadows and shooting arrows. This forest is too dense and they are familiar with the terrain, so it is very disadvantageous to us. Men, quickly protect the royal prince and retreat out of the forest!"

Strategist Pang immediately made the correct judgment after observing the situation and shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately protected Tuoba Zheng and Advisor Pang as they retreated, all the way out of the forest.

There was the sound of horse hooves as a group of West Chu cavalry charged out of the forest, charging towards them.

The South Yue soldiers had just escaped from the sea of fire and were shot to death by arrows. Seeing the enemy charging at them, they only wanted to escape and did not want to fight at all. In the blink of an eye, countless people were cut down by the West Chu cavalry.

Tuoba Zheng heard the miserable cries behind him. They were all the South Yue soldiers he had brought to the west. His heart ached and he suddenly pulled on the reins, wanting to turn around and fight.

"Royal prince, we can't! We can't! The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Their morale is high, so we should avoid them for now. "

Advisor Pang saw through his intentions and quickly tried to persuade him. At the same time, he raised his whip and slapped Tuoba Zheng's horse's butt.

Tuoba Zheng led the defeated soldiers that had escaped from the city. They could only see flames and cries of killing everywhere. They did not know where the enemy was and where the safest place was.

Advisor Pang pointed in a direction and said, "Let's run that way. I remember that there is a White Sand River not far from that direction. We will be safe once we cross it."

The South Yue soldiers were originally in a state of panic, but their spirits were roused when they heard this. They quickly ran in the direction of the White Sand River.

"South Yue barbarians! How dare you invade my West Chu, hand over your life! "

While everyone was running, they suddenly heard a shout from the left. Following that, a group of West Chu soldiers rushed over. The general on the horse was holding an Azure Dragon Saber. Without saying a word, he slashed at Tuoba Zheng, who was in the lead.

Tuoba Zheng was shocked and was caught off guard. He was almost hit by the saber. Fortunately, Advisor Pang reacted quickly and pulled out a saber to block in front of him.

With a loud "dang", the saber in Advisor Pang's hand flew out of his hand and blood flowed from his palm.

He did not care about the pain and desperately whipped his horse, causing Tuoba Zheng and his horse to quickly run in the direction of the White Sand River.

One of Tuoba Zheng's subordinates charged at the West Chu general. The two did not even exchange a few blows before the general's head was cut off by the West Chu general's saber.

The Western General led his troops in a charge and the South Yue soldiers who had already thrown away their helmets and armors were utterly defeated. Everyone was frightened out of their wits and only cared about running for their lives.

Tuoba Zheng looked back as he galloped away. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but tear up.

"Military Advisor Pang, it's all this prince's fault. If this prince hadn't insisted on entering the city, they, they wouldn't have lost their lives. They are all great men of my South Yue Kingdom, each and every one of them is a man of steel! I brought them on this expedition with the intention of bringing them great military exploits and bringing honor to our ancestors. Who would have thought that they would be buried here instead! I let them..

He felt ashamed and remorseful; he wanted to pull out his saber and slit his own throat to apologize.

His personal guards hurriedly hugged him along with his saber, shouting, "You can't!"
