Chapter 634 Retreat
Shen Hao was dumbfounded. He had thought about a lot of scenes and results about the fighting between monks in the Xuanhai Realm, but he never thought about the scene before him.
There was no frightening tidal wave of true qi or the aftermath of devastating power, only a seemingly ordinary confrontation of swords and swords, and then one person fell to his death.
If it wasn't for knowing that the two of them were monks in the Xuanhai Realm, Shen Hao wouldn't have bothered to take a second look at this kind of fighting scene.
A Profound Sea Realm died just like that? !
"Who is that person?" Shen Hao subconsciously asked the guard beside him.
"If our predictions are correct, that person is Xuan Tianqing, the Fifth Elder of Wanjuan Shushan."
"What cultivation base?"
"I don't know. It is rumored that Xuan Tianqing has already stepped into the back of the Xuanhai Realm."
Shen Hao was stunned
One or two levels of Xuanhai Realm can walk sideways in the Jingjiu Dynasty, belonging to the kind of existence that thousands of people look up to. It's no wonder that Wanjuan Shushan is called a super sect. It's not for nothing.
But the monk seems to have stabilized the situation, but what about the army village? Can't let that master run to kill ordinary barbarian soldiers?
Shen Hao came back to his senses, and suddenly found that the high-intensity attack and defense on the wall of the stronghold retreated a lot at once, and the barbarians who had been rushing up endlessly before now have not seen their heads for dozens of breaths.
Could it be that the death of a cultivator in the Xuanhai realm really had such a big blow to the morale of the barbarians? Or worried about being directly inserted into the formation by a master?
Holding a large shield in his hand, Shen Hao covered himself with a thick layer of qi shield. He walked to the edge of the wall and looked down. He was surprised to see the barbarians receding like a tide.
"The barbarians have retreated! Really retreated!"
Not only Shen Hao discovered the accident under the wall of the village, but also many smart and courageous people nearby. Shouting loudly seems to be a victory, but the more direct meaning is: everyone can't die for the time being.
After this breath was relieved, many people couldn't hold back anymore, and they sat on the ground slumped, their expressions couldn't tell whether they were happy or sad, and some of them who were still young directly burst into tears. Men don't cry, but at this time, even in the army who advocates smashing teeth and swallowing blood, no one laughs at crying.
There is a great horror between life and death, and it is a good thing to cry out to vent.
Although Shen Hao was puzzled, he also breathed a sigh of relief. At least for the time being, the upper military stronghold was held, and the sky seemed to be just noon. Could it be that some arrangement by Cheng Jinhou worked?
"Boom boom boom"
The nerves that had just been loosened were tightened again by the sudden deafening drumbeat. Shen Hao hurriedly looked under the wall of the village, the barbarians were still retreating and had no intention of continuing to attack, what are they doing beating the drums at this time?
Those who received the news were Shi Chang and Ba Zong on the wall, and they immediately cheered up.
"Those who can still move, those who can ride horses and slash and kill, lead the horses at the Junzhai Racecourse, and go out with the army!"
Cavalry is useless when attacking and defending the military camp, and can only be used as infantry after dismounting. Now the horses are all kept at the horse farm in the army village. But there are already few cavalry, and there are even fewer left after two consecutive battles. Therefore, the forces that want to organize the pursuit all the way can only be directly selected from those who "can ride horses and hack and kill".
Shen Hao turned around and went down the wall without thinking.
"Shen Hao, where are you going?"
"Leading the horse, didn't you say that you want to go out to chase and kill? How can I be missing?" Shen Hao wiped the blood that had solidified on his face, grinning, looking extremely ferocious, and the three guards were also inexplicably nervous fear.
He was brutally killed by blocking the door, and now he can run if he wants? There was a surge of hostility in Shen Hao's chest, he had to chase it out and let those barbarians taste his knife.
The hostility and evil aura all over his body was particularly strong at this time, even if the three guards were much higher than Shen Hao, he couldn't help but feel awkward, and in the end he could only attribute this fierce arrogance to "natural nature".
As for worry. Shen Hao had it before, but now he is not worried at all. Cheng Jinhou used "noon time" as the timeline to accurately divide the battle situation into two halves. That Elder Wanjuan Shushan named Xuan Tianqing is completely a hole card that has been hidden long ago. Even the last time Cheng Jinhou injured his arm, he must have played it on purpose.
Now that the time has come, the retreat of the barbarians will definitely not be "unable to afford to die". With so many people dead, they choose to retreat seeing that the stronghold is about to be broken. .
That's why Cheng Jinhou calmly beat the drums to chase the enemy.
Shen Hao soon saw his scattered personal guards under the wall of the village. There were more than 30 people before, so there are less than 20 people left.
When I went to the racecourse, the horses were brought by Shen Hao and the others before, and were later incorporated into a very mixed cavalry team. There are no detailed orders, just say "chasing the enemy", and the limit is twenty miles.
This is very wanton.
The magic circle at the gate of the army village was released, and the gate of the village was opened wide. A cavalry team of only three hundred galloped out of it, and then spread out in a line and chased and killed the barbarians retreating in front.
Are so few people useful?
Shen Hao controlled the speed of the horse, he didn't need to fight for credit, he had done enough credit so far, he came out of curiosity, but where is Cheng Jinhou's confidence?
Soon, Shen Hao saw Cheng Jinhou's confidence.
In the distance to the east, a dark army formation has appeared on the horizon, and to the south, there is also a dark army formation approaching.
Are reinforcements really coming?
Shen Hao told the guards around him not to rush forward blindly, and to keep riding at a moderate speed in the middle and rear of the front line. At present, the army array coming from Dong Bread is still a little far away. It would be ridiculous if the barbarians fight back desperately if they rush too hard. We still need to see the situation first.
The changes came faster than Shen Hao thought. The barbarian army that was retreating westward suddenly became agitated, and the formation obviously began to become chaotic. Some marginal barbarians even began to retreat towards the north.
Is this a sign of retreat?
There is also an army formation from Jingjiu Dynasty coming from the west?
As a pawn in the army, no matter how smart Shen Hao was, he couldn't understand every change in the entire battlefield. He would never know what kind of game the frontier army had played at such a cost, nor would he understand that today's tragic offensive and defensive battle was a great opportunity that Cheng Jinhou had waited for for more than a month.
The ruins of the tower in the army camp have been cleaned up. Cheng Jinhou and Xuan Tianqing returned to the tent.
"Wu Yuan and Yuan Qingyun, the two elders, are they going to be okay?" Cheng Jinhou still looked calm and breezy before, but the aggressive look in his eyes disappeared, and he was worried about Wu Yuan and Yuan Qingyun, who had not yet returned. A master of the Xuanhai Realm.
"Don't worry about them. There is no one in the barbarian army that can kill the two of them. Now that they haven't returned, they may have taken advantage of it and don't want to leave." Xuan Tianqing sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, and disguised himself as before. When he was the flag officer, he was a completely different person. He had a sharpness that ordinary people didn't have, and now he didn't need to hide it.
