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

Chapter 1269 Stealing Military Merit

west Duo's face was as black as ink, and he couldn't utter a single word about his defeat.

Azili had no choice but to quickly tell them that the Wei army had blown up four tunnels with sharp weapons, that they had lost contact with the other tunnels, and that they had to head to the capital city tunnels to escape.

west Chi was shocked; he never expected that they would suffer such a heavy blow from Liang Wei, the coward!

Xi Duo's anger subsided somewhat, and he ordered, "Xi Chi, lead the way. While Liang Wei is bombarding Dongfu Town, catch their inner camp off guard and make a contribution to Dongmo!"

This guy is shrewd. When it's his turn, he stops shouting about loyalty and starts shouting about meritorious service.

"Yes!" west Chi led his troops, escorting west Duo, and raced into the depths of the tunnels in the capital city. He shouted to the Eastern Desert soldiers along the way, "Quickly run to the end of the tunnel, fight your way to the surface, and find another way to survive!"

The soldiers from the Eastern Desert were completely bewildered, but...

Boom boom boom boom!

Another loud noise followed, and the tunnel collapsed for another thirty meters. Light shone directly into the tunnel, leaving the Dongmo soldiers no time to ask questions. They instinctively ran towards the end of the tunnel.

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
Inside the tunnel, strange drumbeats resounded as the Eastern Desert soldiers shouted, "Eastern slave labor leaders, quickly dig to the surface! Dig an exit! We can't stay underground any longer; we must come to the surface to seek a chance to survive!"

Upon hearing this, the eastern slave leader was horrified, but immediately gave directions and patted the earthen wall of the tunnel on the left, saying, "The soil here is the softest. Dig diagonally from here towards the ground, and we'll soon be able to dig an exit. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The slave laborers in the east brandished their tools, quickly digging into the soil on this side.

"Faster!" Azili said, "Judging from the intervals of the bombing raids, we have at most half an hour!"

Half an hour later, Liang Wei would be able to determine the new location and bomb the tunnel again, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Xiduo's face was dark and he remained silent.

Fortunately, the slave laborers in the east were trained to be extremely afraid of the people from other tribes in the eastern desert, and they were so fast that they left afterimages. They dug to the ground in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Kunle, lead the troops up to take a look! If you encounter the enemy, fight your way out for General Xiduo!" Xichi sent his trusted officers and soldiers to the ground first.

"Yes!" Kunle led his troops forward, and after a quick look, he exclaimed with delight, "General, General, there are no Wei soldiers here, but there is a lot of smoke coming from cooking fires about a mile away. We should be near the Wei soldiers' cooks!"

"Go up!" west Chi said, leading his troops onto the ground and ordering, "Form ranks and welcome the Western Hegemon General to the ground."

At his command, his troops formed a human wall, enclosing an area within a ten-meter radius.

Xiduo then climbed out of the ground.

Azili, leading his dead soldiers, also came to the ground, and Aroda was the last to arrive.

Xiduo surveyed the surroundings and ordered, "Aroda, you immediately lead one hundred soldiers, along with the divine healer, to throw the poisonous fungus into the moat. I will report your unit's heroic service to the Eastern Desert directly to the Western King!"

brute!

Arroda was filled with hatred, but with Sigurd dead, he was now a leaderless and powerless general, and had no choice but to do these dangerous things.

However, the battlefield has always been a place where skill is put to the test, and he believed in his own abilities, believing that even in dire straits, he could fight his way out.

"Yes, this servant thanks the noble general of the Western Frontier for giving me the opportunity... to serve the Eastern Desert!" Aroda shouted loudly, and knelt down, stretching his hands into the air, performing the Eastern Desert's grand salute in a grotesque manner.

west Duo nodded and instructed west Chi: "Give him one hundred soldiers."

"Yes." Sichi quickly assigned a hundred soldiers to Aroda, none of them elite troops, which angered Aroda even more. Rumble rumble rumble!

The sound of gunpowder exploding rang out again, and with a crash, another long section of the tunnel in the direction of the capital city collapsed.

"You bastard Wei scoundrels, you've gone too far!" Xiduo shouted angrily, "Aroda, what are you waiting for? Quickly lead the troops to do it!"

He added, "Don't worry about being discovered by the Wei soldiers; drawing the enemy troops is also one of your tasks."

Aroda: "..."

Are they determined to destroy us?!

"Yes!" Aroda, pulling two divine healers along, led a hundred Eastern Desert soldiers and pointed towards the moat: "Cross over this large wasteland ahead, get to the vicinity of the moat, and throw the poisonous fungus directly into the moat!"

But this vast expanse of wasteland is truly enormous.

This is the outer perimeter of the barricade camp. You need to pass through the barricade camp area and then cross the trap area to reach the vicinity of the moat.

Aruda and his group didn't have horses yet, and the area they were traversing was full of Wei soldiers and provisions, so this mission was simply impossible to complete.

Xiduo clearly wanted them to risk their lives to draw away the Wei soldiers, so as to buy them time to escape!
With a whoosh, Aroda and his group of over a hundred people moved swiftly forward in the suburbs like a small snake.

west Duo withdrew his gaze and turned to the direction from which wisps of smoke were rising. He said, "west Chi, immediately lead five hundred soldiers and sneak towards the direction of the cooks of the grain corps of Wei... The location of the cooks is very close to the warehouse. The weapons package must be in the warehouse. Get them. If you can't get them, set fire to the warehouse and destroy them to clear the way for the destruction of Wei by the Eastern Desert!"

"If we see the Qin-character military flag, we should penetrate deeper into the enemy camp and slaughter the Qin family who made these weapons! Then we won't suffer a crushing defeat, but will return in triumph!"

It was no secret that the Heavenly Thunder Weapon was made by someone surnamed Qin; many Eastern Desert soldiers who understood the Wei dialect heard about it and relayed the news back.

"Yes!" west Chi accepted the order and immediately mustered five hundred soldiers, who crawled on the ground like snakes, heading towards the direction of the cooks.

“My lord, the collapsed tunnel will expose its direction, and the Wei soldiers will definitely follow the tunnel to this place. We can’t linger any longer. We must detour as soon as possible to the main road outside Dongfu Town and intercept the Liang family!” Azili urged.

west Duo wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, he ordered, "The entire army, turn around and detour to the main road outside Dongfu Town. We'll ambush and kill that Liang fellow, thus contributing to the destruction of Wei in Dongmo. Let's go!"

"Hoo!" More than 600 Eastern Desert soldiers responded and escorted the Western Rudder towards the wilderness near Mianfu Mountain.

however……

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, a gunpowder pack flew out from the trench in the wasteland ahead.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

A deafening roar erupted, and flames shot into the sky, bombarding the path ahead of Xiduo and his men.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
War drums thundered, and Commander Gu, Commander Dai, and Commander Tang Eryan led their troops to attack from three sides, along with the side that was throwing sharp weapons, forming a four-sided encirclement and launching a long-range attack on the western flank.

"Red feathers and golden helmet, leather shawls on the shoulders, and four-ribbed hairpins—he's a nobleman from the Eastern Desert. He's made great military achievements; we must give him the spoils and not let him escape!!" the scouts shouted, their voices hoarse. If it weren't for the fact that a scout team couldn't defeat the enemy, they would have already charged to the front.

"Charge! Kill the nobles of the Eastern Desert and avenge the Wei army and its people!" Commander Gu, Commander Dai, and Commander Tang Eryan went wild with excitement.

Seeing Fan Zhengao and Fan, as well as Da Gan Qianhu, make meritorious contributions, they had long been itching to do the same. Now that they had caught a big one, they just wanted to take him down quickly!
west Duo was shocked. He never expected that Wei soldiers would be lying in ambush in such a desolate place... How long had the Wei soldiers been lying in ambush? Why hadn't they made a sound? They had assumed there was no one in this desolate area, otherwise they would have run away long ago!

There must have been some noise. With so many people lying in ambush, how could there have been no sound at all?
It was only because the wilderness was quiet and the sounds of weapons bombarding the tunnels that Gu Qianhu and his men were able to successfully ambush the enemy.
