"They evacuated! They evacuated!"

"Our reinforcements are coming!!"

After seeing the cavalrymen who were pursuing him begin to retreat, Barney shouted excitedly to Tachino.

Tachino was equally excited. He was prepared to flee to the wilderness without caring about anything. After all, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the bullets had a longer range. It was possible that they would shoot him in another half an hour. However, the sound of the battle horn from the front brought them hope.

The sound of the horn forced back the pursuing Yan people, and reinforcements are coming!

But at the moment he still didn't dare to let his guard down. Who knew if the Yan people would suddenly strike back? The current situation was already bad enough.

After more than three hours of pursuit, the army he led fell apart. There were only a few hundred cavalrymen left, while the infantrymen were either killed along the way or fled to the wilderness.

Faced with this, Tachino slapped his forehead and growled in pain.

"Damn it!"

Barney beside him understood his expression and said, "Sir, we are lucky to have escaped from the Yan people."

"Shut up! Don't you see what we are like now?!" Tachino scolded angrily: "I don't even know if you have made any counterattacks!"

"From the beginning to the end, it was the Yan people who were shooting at us!"

"They're slaughtering us like pigs!"

Barney hung his head, quietly rolled his eyes, and muttered, "The situation was too confusing."

Tachino did not speak again, but pursed his lips and ran forward without saying a word. He was not out of danger yet, and he knew he had to quickly join the reinforcements.

But until now there has been no sign of reinforcements, but the sound of horns is still coming from far away. Tachino frowned slowly, feeling a little strange.

A moment later, dozens of cavalrymen gradually came running forward in the night. After seeing clearly what they were wearing, Tachino breathed a sigh of relief. These were indeed his own troops, but where were the reinforcements?

-

The next day, around noon.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the enemy army has been defeated, but the enemy commander took advantage of the chaos to escape. They..." On the march, Wu Sihai came back and reported last night's battle situation to Qin Ze one by one.

After listening to his words, Qin Ze pondered for a moment and said:

"It is indeed difficult to capture the bandit leader without being able to use the terrain to encircle and suppress him, but I am a little surprised that their reinforcements are on the way."

"I don't know how many people there are. I wonder if they will come to kill us."

"Your Majesty, we have left sentries lurking along the way. If the enemy comes, we will know it soon." Wu Sihai replied.

Qin Ze shook his head: "They are leading the army to attack us, which should be good news for us."

"It is much better to fight head-on than to be ambushed."

"But at the moment, it seems that the probability of them engaging in a head-on battle with us is very low..."

"How many days do we have left to reach the Enzo Mountains?"

Wu Sihai immediately said: "If it doesn't snow in the next few days and we don't encounter the enemy, we can reach the Enzo Mountains in five days."

Qin Ze nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed longer than expected. I hope it won't snow next time. But if the enemy is willing to fight with us, I would welcome it."

-

In the afternoon.

"You are such an idiot! You have to take half the responsibility for the disaster that happened last night!"

Tachino, who was following the 31st Imperial Chasseurs Division, was scolded coldly. He lowered his head, his face flushed and hot. Being insulted in public like this made Tachino feel ashamed. He couldn't help but defend himself to Major General Zoye, the commander of the cavalry division who rebuked him:

"Sir, I just want to join you with my troops and make a contribution to the upcoming battle."

"Is this your contribution? A force of nearly 20,000 people, but after one night, only a few hundred of you are left?" Major General Zoye's handsome face was extremely stern at this moment. He really didn't know how this man in front of him, who was almost the same age as him, could be so stupid.

The distance from the military factory to Heinsig is long, and it has been snowing in recent days. It is definitely not a rational approach to rush on the road with a group of exhausted soldiers at this time. What's more important is that they have no defenses behind them, so once the Yan people catch up, they will definitely be beaten without any chance of fighting back.

This was indeed the case. Of the nearly 20,000 troops, some died, some were injured, and some escaped, leaving only a few hundred cavalrymen who escaped.

Fortunately, after hearing gunshots in the distance in the camp last night, I quickly sent a signalman to rush over and blow the war bugle. Although this was just an attempt out of desperation, it did have some effect.

The Yan people were scared away when they heard the horn, but if they did not retreat, by the time he arrived with his army, Tachino and his group would probably have been wiped out.

"Sir, you don't know that those Yan people are all cavalrymen, and they are all sharpshooters. We were just about to take a rest, and we didn't expect them to suddenly come and kill us."

"You really can't blame me. I've done everything I could." Tachino spread his hands and gave Zoye a helpless expression.

His shirking of responsibility made Zoye even more angry. He pointed at Tachino and said angrily:

"Idiot!! Aren't you ashamed of what you said?!"

Tachino sighed and said, "Sir, I have done my best. If I hadn't led them to evacuate the arsenal, they would have become corpses on the night of the 3rd."

At this point, Tachino gritted his teeth and said excitedly:

"You shouldn't be angry at me. It's those damn Yan people who caused all this!"

"It's them! They are the culprit! If they hadn't started the war, how could so many of us have died?"

Hearing this, Zuoye snorted coldly and said with a gloomy face: "Just wait, the Yan people are about to suffer a disastrous defeat. This time, we will wipe them all out as long as they dare to come to the Enzo Mountains."

Tachino said quickly: "They are already on their way, and the number of Yan people who attacked us last night was not that large, it seems that there were only a few thousand people!"

"Sir, maybe your hunting cavalry can defeat them. We can set up an ambush. This is a good opportunity!"
