Chapter 292: Circumvent and Retreat South

Two hours later, a mountain ridge appeared ahead, covered in snow, bare and desolate. The team stopped, and Luo Zheng stared at the mountain ridge, letting the snowstorm hit his face and body, motionless. His eyes sparkled with a gleam of intelligence as he continuously strategized various possibilities in his mind. Zhou Gang, responsible for guarding the rear, hurried over, saluted, and said, "Captain, we haven't spotted any pursuers behind us."

Everyone looked at Luo Zheng with surprise. After signaling Zhou Gang to continue scouting, Luo Zheng said to everyone, "There are two possibilities, one is that the enemy failed to encircle us from both sides, and considering their significant losses and the nightfall, they chose to spend the night in the forest and deal with it tomorrow; the second possibility is that the enemy did not attempt to flank us but rather went to block our route to the south, thinking we would choose a direct retreat and not make it in time."
