A troop of Shuofang Army soldiers was frantically racing southward in a hurry.
The commanding officer, Tong Piyan, roared to the surrounding soldiers in a low voice, "Move it, everyone, watch out or we'll all be doomed if we fall into the hands of the Tujue people!"
The soldiers around him were aware that the troop they had just encountered was indeed elite, so they spurred their horses to a gallop, rushing down the path.
However, they didn't understand why they had to provoke the enemy first if they knew they couldn't win, and then suddenly ordered a retreat after the fight began.
But these matters were not for soldiers to consider.
What they needed to do was to follow behind Tong Piyan and survive.
At this moment, another troop of the Shuofang Army was approaching. Leading them was Tong Piyan's good friend and Mei Fei's confidant as well—Tian Juhua.
"The Tujue people are right behind us. I estimate they'll catch up in less than half an hour."
