Chapter 1600: Crazy Escape
Being surrounded by mountains and water has always been a favorite destination for poets and scholars.Not far ahead, there stood a towering attic. The attic was obviously newly built, and people came...Chapter 1600: Frantic Escape >
Yelü Shenxuan swore, he had never been so furious in his entire life.
Even though he had endured every hardship imaginable fleeing from the Qin capital all the way back to Liaoning, even surviving death several times, he had never felt as humiliated as he did today.
This anger wasn't about the severity of the harm inflicted, but rather the extreme insult.
It's like rubbing his intelligence in the dirt, stripping him naked and humiliating him in front of everyone.
This humiliation, for Yelu Shenxuan who was prideful to the bone, was worse than killing him.
"Alive, I want to see him; dead, I want to see his body!"
At this moment, Yelv Shenxuan was completely hysterical. He roared: "If you let Li Chen go, I will have you all die to atone for your sins!!!"
Under Yelu Shenxuan's death command, the Liao army erupted with tremendous fighting power, which directly put several times the pressure on Li Chen to escape.
A piercing horn blared throughout the city of Yueya Guan, a signal unique to the Liao army, heralding the start of battle.
The Liao army had a special communication system that used the rhythm and volume of whistle signals to transmit simple military orders quickly and efficiently throughout the ranks.
And the surrounding Liao army, upon hearing the whistle, would charge in the direction Li Chen was fleeing, like mad dogs.
This move was something Li Chen hadn't anticipated before.
Though he repeatedly raised the bar on how difficult the Liao army was, when faced with reality, he realized he still underestimated this army that was unrivaled in its bravery across the land.
The strength of the Liao army, claiming to be the number one military force in the world, is indeed not without reason.
Repeated lessons had made Li Chen no longer underestimate the natives of this world, but their abilities and wisdom continued to refresh Li Chen's understanding.
"Your Highness, this cannot go on."
Xu Wei urged Li Chen urgently, "The Liao army is simply too numerous. They are everywhere. At this rate, before we even reach the south gate, we'll be dragged down by the Liao army."
Li Chen frowned and said in a serious tone, "Change the route. The enemy general probably already guessed that we would go through the south gate. Let's detour to the west gate first, then go to the south gate."
The team immediately changed their course, but it made little difference.
Everywhere were countless Liao troops, and their objective was so large and obvious that as soon as they appeared, countless Liao troops would swarm them from all directions. Moreover, once delayed, they would immediately be bogged down like quicksand, with even more Liao troops surging in from every corner.
Just as Xu Wei said, if they continue like this, they won't even be able to run to the south gate before being dragged to their deaths by the endless Liao army.
At this moment, Xu Wei gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Now, we need to risk our lives to escort the Prince out. However, our target is too big, so we must leave some people behind to hold back the enemy."
Xu Wei's eyes swept over the dozen or so remaining martial monks, gritting his teeth and saying: "Who is willing to stay"
The monks moved without hesitation, nearly simultaneously taking a step forward.
This step represents that they are all willing to stay.
This scene filled Xu Wei with immense satisfaction.
"Well, I have not mistreated you in my days, nor have I been wrong about you."
Xu Wei called out ten men and said, "You ten stay here. My last order to you is simple: do everything in your power to delay as much time as possible."left Fengxi Palace and went straight to Taihe Hall. She made a big show of it all the way, but Li Chen didn't receive any news at all. This made Li Chen realize that he still underestimated this fath...
