Chapter 207 Escape

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

This wasn't about how small the mountain was, it wasn't enough for the two fierce tigers to move.

Rather, beside the bed, how could others be allowed to snore?

It's not that you have the greed to monopolize the mountain, but that you're afraid that the other party will have such thoughts, so you can't avoid deciding on a male and female in the end.

The Mu Clan Army and the Azure Dragon Army were obviously these two fierce tigers.

They didn't encounter any resistance when they entered the city, but they met each other in the middle of Big Yellow City.

With Xue Qinguan and Mu Ji's thoughts, they naturally came back to their senses. They were tricked by the remaining evil spirits of Big Yellow City.

However, even though they knew that it was a trick, they did not have the courage to jump out of it.

With the fierce tiger in front, who could care about the wild fox hiding in the shadows?

Thus, the battle between the Azure Dragon Army and the Mu Clan Army was about to break out.

…

"Manor Master, we've already arranged the items. What should we do next?" In one of the houses in Big Yellow City, Hou Ling, who was mottled with armor, led several soldiers to Xu Han's side and said respectfully.

"Yes." Hearing this, Xu Han nodded. He looked at the snoring Azure Dragon Army and the Mu Clan Army through the crack in the door and frowned slightly.

The plan to drive off the tiger and devour the wolf was too smooth, and it was so smooth that Xu Han felt somewhat uneasy.

But at this point, they had no other choice but to brave their way until it was dark.

"Have the citizens left the city?" Xu Han asked with a deep gaze.

"Leaving the city. Before Big Yellow City broke through, General Lin had already ordered the evacuation of the civilians. After General Lin died, Big Yellow City was almost empty." Hou Ling replied, but his voice was somewhat softer when he reached the end. He looked at the nearby Lin Yu Guo with some unease, but he was relieved to see that the other party was not unusual.

"Mm. Then prepare to withdraw. Return to Liangzhou through the south gate." Xu Han said with a deep gaze.

"However, we have nearly 60,000 troops. It would be unrealistic for us to try to hide it from Xue Qinguan and Mu Ji. If they chase after us …" After Xu Han's order landed, Ye Hongjian frowned and said worriedly.

'"No problem. They want to capture each other in one fell swoop. How can they have the mood to worry about us? Even if they do, they will probably only send out a handful of troops. Otherwise, the frontal battlefield will definitely not pay for their losses." Xu Han comforted.

Hearing his words, everyone felt a little more at ease.

As a result, Hou Ling led many soldiers to dispatch their troops to prepare for the retreat.

"Are you confident of success?" When Hou Ling left, Ye Hongjian walked to Xu Han and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xu Han thought for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "If General Lin is not confident in accomplishing something, how can I be confident in accomplishing it? I can only do my best and live up to the general's trust."

Ye Hongjian naturally understood this point. She nodded and said, "I believe you."

After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "If we were lucky enough to survive this calamity, then where are you going next?"

Xu Han smiled at that time. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Ye Hongjian.

"What? Are you testing me? Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

He could roughly guess Ye Hongjian's thoughts. After experiencing such a great battle, it was inevitable for anyone who had never come into contact with such a scene to have some fluctuations. It was reasonable for Ye Hongjian to worry about Xu Han.

However, Ye Hongjian, who had been torn apart by Xu Han's thoughts, did not look strange at all. She smiled and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a small dimple, looking cute as if she was waiting for Xu Han's reply.

"I just want to know one thing… why is that person definitely me?" Seeing that Ye Hongjian had no intention of denying it, Xu Han simply did not pursue the matter further and instead asked.

Ye Hongjian obviously did not expect Xu Han to ask such a question. She blinked her eyes.

There was no answer.

Or rather, he did not think of a way to answer this sudden question.

So she blinked her eyes again.

Xu Han was dumbfounded. He knew that he was destined not to get the answer he wanted from Ye Hongjian, so he shook his head and said, "Prepare to leave."

After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xu Han!" But at that moment, Ye Hongjian suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Xu Han turned around and looked at Ye Hongjian doubtfully.

At that time, the young girl's eyes were filled with an expression that Xu Han found hard to understand. "No matter what, you have to believe that I will not harm you."

Xu Han took a deep look at the girl and said after a long time.

"I know."

"Also, do you know what the first thing to do when you return to Chang'an?"

"Huh? Face Saint?"

"Greetings, father!"

…

The Mu Clan Army's eyes turned red.

The Azure Dragon Army's eyes also turned red.

The two most elite troops of the Great Zhou had been doomed to an endless battle from the moment their swords met.

Without the cover of the city walls, without the cover of the hills, there was only a brutal fight between fists and flesh, between knives and knives, and between bloody battles in Big Yellow City.

Every moment someone fell, every moment a fresh life passed away.

Big Yellow City was naturally considered a big city. Other than the prefectures and the majestic capital, there shouldn't be a city more majestic than Big Yellow City in the entire Great Zhou.

But even so, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were still crowded in this city.

When the battle began, the foot soldiers began to fight on the streets. Tens of thousands of archers climbed onto the city walls on both sides and used their firepower to cover their troops. Any strategy would appear pale in such a situation, and only the saber halberd was the best way to win.

In the midst of the fierce battle, a group of people who lowered their heads and walked through the side alleys seemed to be so incompatible with the two sides who were fighting for their lives.

They crossed the dense battlefield to the city gate south of Big Yellow City, which led to Liang Zhou and Chang'an!

Such a huge flow of people naturally couldn't hide it from the Azure Dragon Army on the south side of Big Yellow City.

Immediately, a soldier arrived at Xue Qinguan's ears and whispered the news to the commander of the Azure Dragon Army.

Xue Qinguan frowned.

The strength of the Azure Dragon Army and the Mu Clan Army could be said to be at odds. If they were to send troops to hunt down the remnants of Big Yellow City and Tiance Prefecture, they would inevitably lose the frontal battlefield. However, if they were allowed to head south, or even return to Chang'an, Zhu Xian would not be able to deal with them.

Xue Qinguan's expression changed. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go! Ask Xue Yu to lead ten thousand soldiers in pursuit. He doesn't want to kill the enemy, he just wants to delay the enemy!"

"Accept!" The messenger didn't dare to decline when he heard this. He immediately said in a deep voice, and then hurriedly retreated back to the army to relay Xue Qinguan's orders.

Xue Qinguan's calculations were indeed good. He wanted to clean up the Mu Clan Army before him and pursue the remnants of Big Yellow City and the Tian Ce Mansion in order to complete the mission that Zhu Xian had given him.

However, Mu Ji had keenly sensed the movement of this person just now.

"Do you see that? There are 30,000 elite soldiers and 500 Heavenly Hunting Camp soldiers attacking from the west!" He said to Mu Liangyan beside him.

Hearing this, Mu Liang immediately called out the troops that Mu Ji wanted to attack.

The movement of 10,000 people seemed insignificant, but Mu Ji's eyes were extremely vicious. The departure of 10,000 people immediately caused a huge loophole to appear on Xue Qinguan's front. As long as he broke through that area, the Azure Dragon Army's front would be split apart.

For the ever-changing battlefield, once the troops were split apart, it was very likely that they would be unable to dispatch their personnel, be unable to accurately deliver their orders, and even be unable to care about the end result of being broken one by one.

Especially in the face of elites like the Mu Clan Army, any small mistake could bring immeasurable losses.

Xue Qinguan also realized this at that time. His eyebrows sank, and he didn't dare to be arrogant. He had no choice but to immediately issue an order to the ten thousand plus men who had gone forward to intercept him to hurriedly turn around and resist the Mu Clan's attack. Only then did he manage to stabilize the situation on the battlefield.

Mu Ji, who was far away, saw all of this in his eyes. He then crossed the crowd and looked at Xu Han and the others who had already surged out of the city gate.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The slaughter continues.

Blood covered the entire Big Yellow City, and even the air was filled with a strong stench.

This fishy stench just happened to conceal the pungent smell that was incompatible with the surroundings.

"Dragon oil?" The man sitting on the wooden chair frowned, and the smile on his lips grew a little heavier.

"Exactly what a good plan."

He looked at the Mu Clan Army and the Azure Dragon Army and sighed sincerely.
