After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1142 Ignorance
He also delayed his own escape because he wanted to save the new recruits.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A loud running sound came from the sound. When the old Wei soldiers looked up, they saw rows of towering, mountain-like men covered in black iron armor and holding heavy hammers the size of pots in their hands—the Iron Butchers!

With a smile in his eyes, Tie Tubing raised his hammer high and smashed it down on the Wei army.

Bang-!
Bang-!
Bang-!
A loud explosion rang out, and blood mist splattered, making it seem as if a red rain was falling over the area.

Bang bang bang!
The Iron Slaughterers never stopped their march.

Bang bang bang!
His hammering continued relentlessly, leaving behind 'meat patties' wherever he went.

The Eastern Desert soldiers behind them picked up scraps of flesh from the ground and put them into bags as rations for their march.

Upon seeing this scene, even the veteran Wei soldiers were so frightened that they went limp and lost all will to flee.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
Commander Zhao somehow acquired a gong and began banging it frantically, shouting, "Run! Run to Dingmangtai! Use Dingmangtai as a city wall, and launch a long-range attack on the Eastern Desert army from above! We can also kill a number of Eastern Desert enemy soldiers and avenge ourselves! Don't let yourself die a pathetic death!!"

His son—Young Master Zhao; his troops were arranged in a back-to-back formation, retreating towards Dingmangtai while repeatedly chanting the words of Commander Zhao.

The Wei soldiers on the battlefield were stunned by the killing. Upon hearing this, some of them were shocked, quickly turned around, and ran towards Dingmangtai.

They also shouted, "Run to Dingmang Platform! Use Dingmang Platform as a city wall! Go up there and launch a long-range attack on the enemy! Kill them! Before you die, kill a batch of enemy soldiers to avenge your comrades and yourselves!!"

"Don't die a pathetic death! Go to Dingmangtai and launch a long-range attack on the enemy!"

The shouts grew louder, which helped the scattered Wei army to regroup.

Seeing this, the other desperate Wei soldiers also felt a glimmer of hope and rushed towards Dingmang Platform.

On the command platform not far from Dingmangtai, Marquis Wenchang and General Chi saw this and their pale faces regained a little color.

Good, good, good. As expected of someone who served as a deputy general in the Northwest Army, you certainly have some skills.

Thanks to Vice General Zhao, otherwise, given the speed at which the Eastern Desert army could kill the enemy, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Dingmangtai area safely.

The two originally wanted to put on an act, but the Eastern Desert army was too brutal, so they stopped acting. Since they were all fleeing for their lives together, they could hold each other's weaknesses and didn't have to worry about being betrayed.

Therefore, Marquis Wenchang and General Chi exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently turned around, descended from the command platform, and ran towards their respective prepared escape routes.

Both sides had a considerable number of men, and Commander Zhao had been keeping a close eye on these two good-for-nothings. When he saw them, he cursed, "You bastards, we should have taken care of them first!"

"Lieutenant, don't bother with two dogs. You should run away too," Old Miao said to Commander Zhao.

"Brother Miao, keep your voice down, there are people around us." Li Siwang reminded Lao Miao, his eyes fixed on the Wei soldiers around them, afraid that someone would discover their intentions.

"Withdraw, slightly southwest of Dingmangtai," Commander Zhao ordered in a low voice.

"Understood." Thirty old subordinates escorted the father and son down to Dingmangtai.

Many Wei soldiers rushed past them, some trying to join their formation, but were kicked away by their old subordinates: "Get the hell out of here! Go find your centurions or chiliarchs, don't come here and disrupt our formation!"

"Pah!" Wei Jun spat after being kicked, got up, and rushed towards the Dingmang Platform.

Because of Zhao Zongqi's shout, the entrance to Dingmangtai was already crowded with Wei soldiers. Seeing this, the rest of the Wei soldiers felt that Dingmangtai was relatively safe and did not bother Zhao Zongqi and his small group anymore.

Thirty people? That's not even enough for Tie Tubing to kill with one blow!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
"Wei soldiers, do not panic! Assemble below Dingmang Terrace and advance in batches to launch a long-range attack on the enemy!" Commanders Jia, Wu, and Cao ordered their messengers to beat the drums and shout the order. The enemy army surged forward like divine punishment, and no new orders came from the command platform. The commanders knew that defeat was inevitable, but they wanted to die with some dignity!

"Lieutenant General, Young Master, quickly hide in the middle of the formation." Old Miao tugged at Young Master Zhao and praised him, "Young Master is very capable. He is still sober and not scared out of his wits. He has made our Lieutenant General proud."

Young Master Zhao's face was covered in tears, but fortunately he hadn't broken down and could still understand human speech, so he hid in the middle of the formation.

"Let's go, head southwest a bit." Commander Zhao grabbed his son's hand and gave the order to Lao Miao and the others.

The group of thirty people quickly headed towards the southwest point below Dingmangtai.

There was no platform at the southwest point, so there weren't many Wei soldiers, only a few scattered groups of survivors.

Zhao Zongqi and his men had the advantage of numbers and their formation, and they managed to push aside the people occupying the tunnel entrance.

That's right, Commander Zhao dug a short tunnel here... He and his soldiers took turns digging it while he was guarding this place, just to survive on the battlefield.

"Boss, give it your all with Dad..." Under the cover of their formation, Zhao Zongqi and his son dug through the top layer of soil and pried open two more layers of blue bricks, finally revealing the wooden planks.

After removing a few more planks, a hole was revealed.

"Get lost! This place belongs to us! We're the Northwest Army! Anyone who wants to come and take over our territory, think twice before you give up!" Old Miao cursed away another group of Wei soldiers who wanted to join them in fighting the enemy. After receiving a few more spittle, he finally heard the voice of Commander Zhao.

"Old Miao, I'm leaving."

Old Miao didn't turn around, but urged, "Hurry up and go, the banging is getting closer and closer, if we don't leave soon we'll all be meat patties."

Young Master Zhao finally came to his senses, grabbed Old Miao's hand, and looked at the other soldiers: "Uncle Miao, Uncle Siwang, Brother Su...aren't you leaving?"

Old Miao said, "The rules of the battlefield are that the most capable live, and the weakest are left to fight the enemy."

Young Master Zhao: "...But I'm a new recruit, and a logistics support soldier at that. I don't know how to fight."

He's the weakest one; he should be the one to stay.

Old Miao laughed and said, "Young master is mistaken. The abilities we are talking about are those of you and your deputy general outside the battlefield. Only if you and your deputy general are alive can our families live a prosperous and peaceful life."

Old Miao clicked his tongue, finally turned around, and said to Commander Zhao, "Deputy General, each family needs at least one hundred taels of silver as a subsidy, and you must support each family until the eldest grandson gets married. Only when the eldest grandson is married can the family line continue."

General Zhao: "What are you tspitting about? I may be stingy, but I won't be stingy in this kind of thing... Don't worry, my wife has a lot of valuables hidden away. I have the money to give each of your families a hundred taels of silver as compensation, and I will also support each of your families. No one can bully your families."

“Yes, we trust our deputy general,” responded Lao Miao, Li Siwang, Xiao Su, and other old subordinates.

"Boss, let's go quickly," General Zhao urged his son.

Young Master Zhao was already sobbing uncontrollably, grabbing General Su's arm and saying, "Brother Su, Brother Su, you should go too... When we came, my wife was pregnant, and Jin Douzi was only four years old. She's still so young and can't be without a father."

Xiao Su scolded him, "Don't be so ignorant of the rules. If I leave because of this, what will happen to the other brothers? Tsk, young master, stop crying and hurry up and leave. If you delay any longer, everything will be in vain."

why?
Why can't we walk together?

Young Master Zhao couldn't understand, and there was no time for him to think. Commander Zhao covered his mouth, and two soldiers held down his feet and threw him into the tunnel.

With a whoosh, Young Master Zhao slid into the tunnel and disappeared.
