Seeing that the Dayuan army was catching up and launching a fierce attack on them, Marshal Annan did not dare to stay for long.
They could only leave behind 3,000 soldiers each to fight to the death to intercept the enemy and continue to escape with their troops.
"Damn it! Why are they chasing us so fast? It's ok that the cavalry is fast, but even the infantry can catch up at any time!"
Marshal Annan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"According to our investigation, Dayuan's army is very strange!
Even the infantry were equipped with carriages!
When traveling, they run for a while, and when they get tired, they take a carriage.
The speed is not much slower than cavalry!
We will have to learn their military methods in the future."
The deputy general immediately explained.
Marshal Annan chuckled bitterly, "How many carriages would be needed to support so many infantry? Just maintaining these horses would empty the treasury."
Perhaps only the rich Dayuan Dynasty could afford it.
If God blesses us and allows us to escape safely, we will immediately submit a letter of surrender when we return to Annan.
Never think about attacking the Dayuan Dynasty again.
It's good enough that the Dayuan Dynasty is willing to let us live!"
After this battle, Marshal Annan was completely convinced.
Never dare to provoke the Dayuan Dynasty again.
It's really terrible.
"Yes, it's all Yunlu Pavilion's fault for being restless and misleading His Majesty the King.
I really don’t know what they can do and what benefit they can get from it!”
"Hmph, if we can survive this disaster! From now on, Annan will never allow any disciples from Yunlu Pavilion to enter.
Anyone who dares to enter our territory will be killed immediately!"
Marshal Annan's face was full of murderous intent.
While cursing Yunlu Pavilion, he led his army to escape desperately.
Either find a way to escape or find a suitable place to stay.
The entire army only carried a small amount of dry food, and if they continued to delay, they would starve to death.
After running for a while, I suddenly saw two figures appear in front of me.
The scout who was detecting the news in front was the first to see Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang running away.
I was suddenly ecstatic.
Someone was quickly sent back to report to the marshal, and the rest of the people rode their horses and surrounded them as quickly as possible.
Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang saw that the situation was not good.
While fleeing, he unexpectedly encountered Annan soldiers.
"Master Wushuang, please run away quickly. I will stay and intercept them!
If I die in battle, please take care of my family."
How could Shi Wushuang let all his hard work go to waste?
He gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go together!
Kill them and take their horses, and you can still break out of the encirclement!"
"If we keep dragging it on like this, we won't be able to escape! Besides, I've been defeated so many times, and I'll be punished if I return to the capital.
If it is a war on the battlefield, all mistakes will be forgiven.
You are the eldest disciple of the Yunlu Pavilion, and the Emperor will not punish you."
Qin Qingxue has thought it through very clearly.
I would rather die in battle than lose my reputation and status.
You must also protect your family's wealth and prosperity.
"Don't talk nonsense, have faith in me! Never give up until the last moment!
The disciples from Yunlu Pavilion will be here soon to support us, so we must persevere."
While comforting the desperate Qin Qingxue, he held the sword tightly in his hand and stared at the cavalry.
He was looking for the perfect opportunity to kill the soldiers and steal their horses.
The Annan scouts obviously realized that the two people in front of them were not to be trifled with.
No attack was launched immediately.
After catching up, he intercepted the two men and circled around them from a distance on horseback.
Wait until the army arrives and then capture the two men.
Now Shi Wushuang was completely panicked.
This way, the two of them couldn't escape at all.
There was no time to conserve strength anymore, and he had to use his most powerful tactics.
He took out the poison dart hidden on his body and swung it out suddenly.
It is only used to kill the opponent when his life is in the most dangerous moment.
For someone of his status, using poison darts to launch a sneak attack would be considered despicable.
But if you don't use it again, you will surely die.
Shi Wushuang saw that the cavalry were all wearing armor and was worried that the poison darts would not be able to penetrate them all.
Target the warhorse.
The Annan scouts had never expected that a sneak attack could be launched under such circumstances.
Besides, war horses cannot dodge flexibly.
All were shot with poison darts.
The warhorse neighed in pain, and the poison quickly spread.
In just a blink of an eye, all the war horses under his crotch fell to the ground, struggling violently and looking very painful.
Qin Qingxue was shocked.
No one would have thought that Shi Wushuang was carrying such a poisonous hidden weapon.
There has been a crack in the glorious image of Yunlu Pavilion.
A famous sect like this would never use such vicious weapons.
But the thought only flashed through my mind.
It’s already this late, the most important thing is to escape.
The scouts had lost their horses, and their armor prevented them from running very fast.
The two men rushed forward with swords in hand and killed the intercepting soldiers with just one move.
Shi Wushuang quickly felt around among the soldiers and found the water bags and their dry food.
Pulling Qin Qingxue, he ran forward quickly.
When Marshal Annan heard that Commander Dayuan had been stopped, he happily led his troops to chase after him.
But when they caught up, they saw the corpses of soldiers and horses.
He was so angry that he was fuming.
"What's going on? Can't a dozen people stop two of them?
Even if the opponent's martial arts skills are superior, just don't fight them head-on!"
"General, they launched a surprise attack with poison darts, first killing the warhorse and then our scout!
This can’t be entirely blamed on them!”
"Hmph, keep chasing! Send out your elite soldiers and give them a full chase!"
Marshal Annan knew that he must not relax at all and must capture the two men quickly.
I have completely ignored it.
Even the Qing soldiers were sent out to chase them with all their might.
He led the army to pursue from the rear.
Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang finally got food and water, and ate and drank while they escaped.
Recovered a lot of physical strength.
Seeing the nearby woods, hope surged in their hearts again.
It is easy to hide as long as you escape into the dense forest.
Even if they are caught up, they still have the advantage.
Suddenly I heard heavy footsteps behind me.
Looking back, I saw that it was the Annan soldiers who had caught up with me again.
In order to chase faster, he actually took off all his armor to reduce weight.
"Let's go into the woods and fight them! I don't believe he has that many soldiers for us to kill."
Shi Wushuang became furious and decided to start killing again.
After Qin Qingxue ate the food, her strength recovered a lot and her mentality gradually stabilized.
Nodding, he said:
"As long as we kill these pursuers before the rear army catches up, we can find a place to hide.
But don’t get hurt again!”
"Humph, these soldiers aren't even wearing armor, none of them can stand up to us!
If they catch up, they will die!"
Shi Wushuang said with disdain.
Qin Qingxue deeply agreed that the most terrifying thing about an army is its deployment of troops.
I am far inferior to them in terms of martial arts!
