Just as Yu Li followed Ziyuan's suggestion and commanded the "Orphan Army" to retreat, the Chiyan Army was defeated by Luqiu Borong's army in the blink of an eye.The two couldn't believe what they saw, and for a moment they completely forgot about the retreat.

For grassland people who are good at horse fighting, losing their horses is like having their feet cut off.Facing the Guan Ning military pawns who were attacking steadily like a monolith, they didn't know how to resist after losing their speed advantage, so they could only wait to be slaughtered.

But Jiang Yan didn't want to succumb to fate just like that.Seeing that the defeat was settled, he immediately ordered everyone to protect the companions around him, and turned to retreat to the north in the ruins of the ancient city of the ancestors, intending to continue to deal with the opponent there.

Right now, the military pawns holding the King Jin Banner are on the offensive.Yu Li and Zi Yuan only had a moment's delay before their tracks were exposed.The two of them watched helplessly as the soldiers who had lined up in the Queyue Formation came straight towards them and completely disrupted the plan.Yu Li scolded his mother on the spot, but he had no choice but to order everyone to stand still.

Emperor Daxin also did not expect that those prairie people who were once brave and good at fighting would be so vulnerable now.However, as soon as the thought of killing arose in her heart, the scene of her ordering the killing of the Baijiang clan's survivors under the Suoyang Pass suddenly appeared in her mind.At this moment, she just wanted to clear away all the obstacles between herself and the power of the ancestors, but she actually issued three urgent orders in a row, ordering the army to drive out all the people who appeared in front of them!
"Wei Liangjun don't move forward! This general doesn't want to go to war with you, but if you don't listen to dissuasion, you will definitely let you have a good taste of Lan Yan's power!"

Yu Li was alone, standing in front of the formation with a broad-backed saber, and shouted loudly as he rushed more than a hundred steps away from the murderous soldiers.But just a few yells, how can they stop the army that is charging with all its strength to stop?

And this is exactly the trap he set in his desperation.Right now, behind the young general, there are [-] "Orphan Army" hiding in the shadows, relying on the high and low ruins on the shore as cover.In their hands, they were all holding the fire bolt guns that were ready to be loaded.The remaining hundreds of skyfire thunders were also distributed to the fifty dead soldiers who took the lead.

Seeing that there was only one general who looked like a general coming forward to fight, Guan Ning's soldiers didn't care about his warning at all, relying on the shield in his hand and the armor on his body, he beat the three-way drum and continued to charge.Seeing this situation, the young general, who seemed to be trying to use his arms alone as a chariot, suddenly raised his hand high above his head, then swung it down heavily, and ordered the ambush soldiers behind him to start a volley with all his strength.

Next, what the silver-armored soldiers saw in the eyes of the silver-armored soldiers were brilliant orange-yellow sparks rising from the darkness behind Yu Li, and the deafening bangs accompanying the blooming of the flowers.The sound was like thunder, and it was like the roar of wild animals.The Guan Ning soldiers who entered the shooting range had no time to figure out what had pierced their heavy armor before they were knocked down countless by the howling rain of bullets.

And all this is just the beginning.The commander of the Weiliang Pioneer Battalion Commander had seen such weird weapons under the city of Yujing, but he did not order the army to suspend the attack. Gathering up again, they rushed through the last section with all their strength, thinking that by doing so, they would be able to drive straight in, turning the advantage of the opponent's firearms into a disadvantage. .

However, they didn't know that there were only more than [-] half-grown children lying in ambush in front of them.They didn't even know that what was waiting for them was not just the fire bolt gun.However, they have no chance.

Seeing that the opponent took the bait, the young general suddenly turned around and retreated into the darkness by the lake, dragging his saber backwards.Seeing this, the general of the Weiliang Pioneer Battalion couldn't help laughing. He believed that the opponent's tricks had been seen through by him, so he didn't dare to continue to fight head-on, and even joined the battle to attack.

However, there was a soft "chi chi" sound like a group of snakes stinging from the dark corners around.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers saw dozens of objects with faint sparks being thrown into the air, over the top of their heads, and rolling down at their feet.

Furthermore, blue-purple flames erupted in an instant, like the deadly light shot out from hell under the ground that suddenly burst open.

In just a short moment, nearly a thousand Guan Ning soldiers were engulfed by the soaring flames ignited by the sky fire thunder.The high temperature first burned the fragile eyes, mouth and nose, and then immediately baked the skin and clothing into a charred black shell.

However, even so, the human body under the armor still couldn't stop, and continued to charge forward.The hard and brittle clothing and skin were torn off from the soldier like a layer of bark, exposing the bloody muscles underneath.Then, the seriously injured were swept by the sky fire and thunder again, completely engulfed in the flames, suffocated, fell to the ground, and died.

The high temperature even burned the iron armor on the corpse into a bright red color.The hard protective gear that was once invulnerable has now become like syrup under the scorching sun, melting and changing its shape.

For a moment, there was a loud noise accompanied by blue-purple flames, causing the entire ruins under the ice to rumble and resonate.

"That's—the Blue Flame of Peng Kingdom?!"

Amidst the rumble, Luqiu Borong, who was watching the battle behind the army formation, was also shocked by what he saw, his shoulders trembled, but he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and then angrily shouted, "Bring it to my general Ying Ren!"

Over [-] years old, but still full of black hair, Duke Peng hurried over, bowed to Emperor Daxin to the end, and then raised half of his face, like a melted candle, with scars all over:

"Your Majesty Xuan, is it for the battle ahead?"

"It's good to know. Let me ask you, what is used by that team is the Lan Yan from your Peng country?"

Luqiu Borong, who was wearing thin scale armor, asked the other party sharply.However, facing the emperor's censure, Ying Ren behaved quite calmly:

"His Majesty's eyes."

With such an attitude, the tone of the seemingly weak Empress became more and more intense:
"In this way, those who are stubbornly resisting in the front and want to prevent me from seeking the power of the ancestors are the fleet that Ai Qing mentioned to me before, the disobedient fleet?"

Duke Peng still nodded calmly:

"Judging from the Kuijiao leather armor that the general is wearing, it should be."

"Now do you have a way to make them retreat immediately?"

Luqiu Borong knew Lan Yan's power in his heart, and he also knew the morale and strength of his soldiers. He knew that if he didn't take countermeasures immediately, his success might fall short here.So he had to suppress the anger in his heart and continued to ask.

Unexpectedly, Ying Ren's answer was shorter and shorter, and each sentence made her madder:

"The old minister can't."

Emperor Daxin's indignation was beyond words, and he finally couldn't help but grabbed the other party's neckline:
"That's why Duke Ying's soldiers are now colluding with the traitors of the Ye Kingdom and committing crimes. Should I punish you severely? Severely punish the Peng Kingdom!"

Even in the face of the emperor's wrath and almost inevitable punishment, Duke Peng smiled lightly, as if he ignored the hostile deterrence in front of him:
"If Your Majesty wants to deal with the old minister, why bother to announce the old minister and kill him directly in front of the tent."

"Are you begging me to let you go?"

The female princess let go of her hand suddenly, causing the thin scale armor on her body to rattle.Duke Peng took half a step back unhurriedly, and made a kneeling salute:

"The old minister dare not. I just implore Your Majesty to allow the old minister to pay for his merits."

With a lot of rhetoric, Ying Ren, who has neither emotion nor reason, not only managed to touch Luqiu Borong's bottom line, but also took the opportunity to give the other party a step to save face.

Emperor Daxin looked up and down at this former father's old friend, the man he once called his uncle, and knew that the only person he could put hope in right now was him, so he finally nodded helplessly, and sighed:

"Okay, let's talk about it, how do you plan to get rid of the crime?"

At the same time, as the gunpowder smoke gradually faded after the fire and thunder exploded before the battle, Guan Ning's soldiers quickly retreated to [-] paces away as if they were avoiding the plague god.

This actually gave Yu Li great confidence.Right now, he is dragging the broad-backed saber and turned around again, standing in front of the battle, intending to continue to provoke Luqiu Borong.According to his calculations, the Skyfire Thunder in his hand can at least block five or six rounds of attacks of the same scale as before.But now there are only more than [-] sergeants standing under the banner of Jin Wei, and it is already very clear which one is easier to defend and which is easier to attack.

But soon, he saw a team of dozens of people marching out of the opponent's formation.Among them, the soldiers were not the Guan Ning soldiers who had charged into the battle before, but the Peng Guojun, who was dressed in Kuijiao leather armor, just like himself.

Before seeing Ying Ren's face, Yu Li already guessed who the visitor was, and couldn't help hesitating whether he should see it or not.But the opponent didn't give him a chance to back down at all. Before he could reach the front, he sent a shop soldier to the front of the formation, and spread the oral order of Duke Peng:
"The lord of the Peng Kingdom has made an order, and General Yu Li has made great contributions in finding the way to the north. Now that the ancient city has been discovered, I hope that the monarch and his subjects will work together to obtain divine power and rule the world together!"

Such a verbal order from Ying Ren suddenly made Yu Li feel a little overwhelmed.He was afraid that this was a trap set by Luqiu Borong, and he was even more worried about whether Ying Ren could still maintain the trust he had at the beginning after he disappeared for so many days.However, when he saw the man with the same ferocious face as himself walking out of the car and walking to the front of the battle with a meaningful smile, he still made up his mind to take the risk to meet him.

"General Yu should understand the widow's mind. Rather than serving a woman, it is far more enjoyable to be an emperor! Today's affairs, only you know, I know. Now there are enough supplies in the widow's hands to allow you and me to obtain the glory of the ancestors." After strength, return to Mizhou safely and rule the world together. And you should be very clear in your heart that with your current strength, even if you can repel Luqiu Borong, you will use up the remaining bargaining chips in your hand."

What Peng Guogong said was straight to the point, and Yu Li couldn't help but recall what he saw in the other party's eyes when he borrowed troops from him at the Chaobai Hall of Peng State that day, the incomparable desire for the power of the ancestors.But that look was all too familiar to the young general—in the past, he had seen that look in Qi Shouyu's eyes countless times. It was something that couldn't be disguised or hidden, like a hungry wolf, Vulture-like greedy and cunning light.

Perhaps because of this, the word "govern the world together" mentioned twice by the other party seems to have magical power in the blink of an eye, which makes Yu Li's heart move.He turned his head and looked behind him, and looked in the direction of Zi Yuan who was hiding among the ruined walls with eight hundred "Orphan Army".

Although he couldn't see the girl's face right now, the young general was sure that the other party must be shaking his head and waving his hands desperately, so as not to trust Ying Ren easily.But this time, he really wanted to make a decision by himself.

Because, in fact, like Ying Ren and former Qi Shouyu, he is never satisfied with power.

"Yu Li can promise the lord that from today onwards, all the [-] 'Orphan Army' under me will be at your disposal! But I also hope that the lord will not forget the promise he made today after he succeeds! "

"Keep your word! Only [-]% of the Peng Guo army that accompanied me to the war is left. Looking under the ice, there is only General Yu who can be my right-hand man!"

Ying Ren laughed out loud, but laughing wantonly and insolently.However, Luqiu Borong behind him didn't know what happened in front of the battle. He just saw Duke Peng from a distance, and with just a few words, he made the young general who had previously fought with the soldiers to bow down and salute. Somewhat gratified, but also full of anxiety.

"According to my decree, Duke Peng is ordered to be the vanguard commander, to lead the soldiers under his command to attack Ye Kingdom and the remnants of the Di people with all their strength, and the soldiers will be their flanks. The battle must end before sunset today!"

Before she finished speaking, the war drums in the formation started beating again.Amidst the sound of rumbling drums, corner flags were waved, and soldiers raised their arms.And everyone is now pointing their finger at Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin, who had just fled not long ago and were hiding in the shadowy ruins at this time.

But for the young He Han and Ye Guogong at this time, blindly hiding can only make them be attacked one by one by the other party until the entire army is wiped out.And all they can do right now is to fight their way out in this complex ancient city that is as complicated as a jungle of boulders!

The two former friends turned their heads at the same time, and looked at the many soldiers who followed them all the way behind them one by one.The warriors had already lined up neatly, and in the fortified army formation, there were still faint figures of Ning Yue, Mo Chen, Leng Jiayun and others.

The young people looked at each other again, and after smiling at each other, they ordered loudly in unison:
"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent! All soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy!"
