The Qing Fortress Army's retreat from the battlefield was not as easy as they had imagined. After they left Nan Geng City, a small group of Blackfeather Army elites followed closely behind. At this time, Liu Yizhao realized that the Blackfeather Army was determined to take down the ten cities in Nan Province, which was why they had gone through so much trouble to clean up the rear.
Under normal circumstances, the Blackfeather Army would not have needed to chase after such a remnant army, because the Qing Fortress Army had made it clear that they would not participate in the battle anymore.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army was not at ease. Their plan was too big, and they could not tolerate any mishaps in the rear. They had to get rid of all the hidden dangers.
Therefore, the Qing Fortress Army went around in circles in the mountains, and it took them half a month to shake off the Blackfeather Army behind them. Then, they quickly headed north to Mount Lu Wang.
This was not Liu Yizhao's destination. He wanted to head all the way north, and even if it was a little difficult, he had to bring the group of soldiers behind him back to a safe zone.
Right now, he was worried about these soldiers who had been following him for so many years. If he was alone, there would always be a place he could go in this big world.
However, at this moment, Liu Yizhao suddenly frowned because he felt someone was secretly spying on him. However, before he could do anything, the other party had disappeared into a cave.
"Commander." The guard also saw the movement over there. "Should we chase after them?"
"No need." Liu Yizhao shook his head. "This place is deserted. They might be commoners or street children hiding here from the chaos of war. As long as it's not the Blackfeather Army, we don't have to worry too much."
"What if …" The guard said softly. "What if they can pose a threat?"
Liu Yizhao smiled. "Since it's not the Blackfeather Army, what other threat could there be? Could it be that another army would pop out from here? Which army would be stationed here? "
An hour later, Liu Yizhao looked at the mountains and plains filled with Wu Weijun soldiers, and his smile gradually disappeared …
"Negative emotions from Liu Yizhao, + 666!"
Li Heitan stood in front of the team, holding a piece of paper and reading aloud, "You have been surrounded, but in the spirit of friendly cooperation … voluntary, honest, equal, and mutually beneficial principles, I hope you will stop moving forward, or we will beat you up!"
Liu Yizhao looked at the group of people on the mountain with a livid expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. The guard beside him hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's really an army here. I wonder where they are from …"
"Wu Weijun." With a calm expression, Liu Yizhao said, "Who else but Wu Weijun, who has lost his city like us, has appeared here who doesn't belong to the Blackfeather Army?"
"What should we do?" The guard said, "If it's Wu Weijun, we don't need to worry about him at all. That army has long been rotten to the core."
Liu Yizhao understood what his guard meant. He wanted to crush this Wu Weijun army and open up the path that was blocking their way.
However, Liu Yizhao nodded. "Pass down my order. Let Wu Weijun have a taste of defeat again. Since when did Wu Weijun dare to block the path of the Qing Fortress Army? But don't kill in vain. Just defeat them. "
From Liu Yizhao's point of view, Wu Weijun had nothing to sympathize with. He had never treated Wu Weijun's group of dregs as allies because they were not worthy of being his allies.
If Wu Weijun hadn't casually lost Yun 'an City, his Qing Fortress Army might still have more than three thousand people.
When he had broken out of Nan Geng City, he had encountered the Blackfeather Army that had taken a detour. Wu Weijun had more than twenty thousand men but couldn't even stop three thousand. They were trash among trash.
Thinking of this, Liu Yizhao's expression turned even colder. But he didn't want to kill people now because if they really fought to the death, there would be casualties among the soldiers under him.
With the current Qing Fortress Army, his heart would ache if another person died.
But just as the Qing Fortress Army was about to kill their way out, they saw the Wu Weijun army suddenly run back. By the time the Qing Fortress Army caught up, it was as if the entire mountain had evaporated into thin air.
Liu Yizhao pushed aside a pile of grass and revealed a hidden cave. The guard exclaimed in surprise, "Were these people born in the year of rabbits? How did they disappear in the blink of an eye? Commander, should we chase them into the cave?"
Liu Yizhao walked into a cave and used an artifact to illuminate the underground karst cave. Initially, he thought that this was a tunnel dug by Wu Weijun, but now it seemed that this was not the case. These caves were naturally formed but were used by Wu Weijun.
He continued walking forward. At this time, he could still hear the sound of footsteps echoing in the distance. In the end, before he had even taken two steps, Liu Yizhao discovered that the karst cave extended in all directions and was extremely large!
"Don't chase after them." Liu Yizhao shook his head after he came out. "The underground cave is very wide. We're not familiar with the paths and might get lost down there."
At this moment, Li Heitan had taken a shortcut and ran back to Mount Lu Wang. When he saw Lü Shu, he shouted, "Your Majesty, the Qing Fortress Army is going to attack us! What should we do? "
Lü Shu was stunned. "How many people do they have?"
"A rough estimate is 1,000 people!"
"How many people do we have?"
"More than 3,200 people!"
"Then what's there to say? Beat them up!" Lü Shu said angrily. He now felt that Wu Weijun did not lack strength at all. Based on Wu Weijun's current strength, even the Blackfeather Army was slightly weaker than Wu Weijun.
This was why Zhang Weiyu said that Lü Shu had taken advantage of the situation. Back then, why did Wu Weijun's first commander like to recruit street children? Because street children were generally stronger, especially those who followed great nobles. Their daily cultivation was much stronger than that of soldiers. As the private property of great nobles, they enjoyed different resources.
Of course, if it were not for the new techniques and the hard work of Zhang Weiyu and the others, Wu Weijun's strength would definitely not be enough. But he had already broken through …
So what Wu Weijun lacked now was not strength, but courage.
Li Heitan scratched his head. "Then let's try beating them up?"
"Go on, go on." Lü Shu waved his hand and then whispered to Lü Xiaoyu, "Let Anthony, Jia Sanyi, and the bishop protect them. Quietly, don't let them have someone to rely on."
It was said that the merciful did not command soldiers, and Lü Shu was also learning to let them grow. But the problem was that the soldiers that had been trained with so much difficulty could not die just like that.
Lü Xiaoyu nodded and went underground. At the same time, Zhang Weiyu and the others, who had received instructions from Lü Shu, had already set up a command center in an open space under the karst cave. Everyone would receive instructions from them to launch a sneak attack on the Qing Fortress Army.
Since it was a war between two armies, of course they could not fight casually without order.
