Chapter 27: Escape Battle

Wang Yao desperately peeled away the grass in front of his sight. While running forward, he looked back in panic. He could clearly feel his heart beating as fast as a drum.

They had been fleeing in the bushes for a long time since they were accidentally discovered by a lone group of black soldiers. Along the way, the black soldiers were everywhere like wronged ghosts, jumping out from every corner from time to time to block their way.

Bang!
With a sharp clanging sound, relying on the power of the black sword, Wang Yao knocked a black soldier who was chasing behind him to the ground with a backhand. He stabbed down hard and instantly killed the black soldier who was lying at his feet. However, looking at the seemingly endless black soldiers coming out from the bushes behind him one by one, he couldn't help feeling despair rising in his heart!
There are too many black soldiers!
The group fought and fled all the way, relying on the favorable terrain and tacit cooperation. At least twelve or thirteen black soldiers died at their hands. But even so, the black soldiers still appeared in an endless stream like mass-produced sausages. This could only mean that the black soldier troops that had bypassed them had begun to return for support, and they had completely exposed their whereabouts in the enemy's rear!

"The black soldiers are coming to support us. This is not a solution!" Ono forced back the black soldiers approaching Maomao with a knife and shouted anxiously.

"I don't need you to remind me of what I can see with my own eyes!" After killing the enemy in front of him, 2da waved the sharp knife in his hand and shouted, "Don't fight! Retreat! Retreat! Extend the battle line and don't let the Black Armor Army surround you!"

Faced with the black soldiers who outnumbered them by several times, even they, the elite vanguards, had to choose to flee. They were not heroes, and once surrounded by the black soldiers, being hacked to death would be the best outcome!
"We can't retreat any further! If we run forward, we will be blocked under the first defense tower of Wei!" Maomao shouted, her face pale with fear. As a female soldier, what would happen if she was captured by the enemy on the battlefield? She knew it in her heart.

While fighting against the black soldiers who were rushing towards him, Wang Yao took the time to glance at Maomao. Looking at the pale face of the black-haired girl, he felt a chill in his heart, and his originally panicked heart slowly calmed down.

At least!

We can’t let anything happen to such a sunny girl!
After being discovered by the black soldiers, in order to avoid encountering the black soldiers coming back for support, they had no choice but to flee in the opposite direction. But as Maomao said, going forward would also be a dead end. In front of them was the first defense tower of Wei State. If they ran any further, they would inevitably be blocked there. In this case, instead of being driven into an iron cage like a rat and falling into a trap, it would be better to fight to the death here!
A fierce look flashed in his dark eyes. Wang Yao gritted his teeth and, driven by the high speed of his speed boots, he killed the black soldier who had been entangled with him for a long time with a single sword. Then he followed everyone and fled in a panic to a bush that was temporarily safe.

As soon as they stopped, Wang Yao said to Xiao Ye: "Take Maomao and run away first, and find a secret place to hide in front!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then 2da couldn't help but shout: "Maomao's magic support is very important!"

At this time, without the firepower of the magic soldiers, the team's already fragile defense will collapse instantly.

But Wang Yao's eyes were firm: "Even if there is Maomao, do you think that the five of us alone can wipe out a large army of 400 people?! It's a total annihilation or a big gamble, make a choice!"

2Da was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Wang Yao's words.

"What do you mean?" Shi Liang, who didn't understand, stared at Wang Yao in disbelief as he suddenly seemed like a different person.

"It's harder to be discovered as a single target. If we gather together now, it's like walking with torches in a wild beast jungle at night! My plan is this: Xiaoye takes Maomao and goes ahead to find a secret place to hide." After a pause, Wang Yao looked at Erda and Shi Liang squatting beside him, and continued, "And the three of us will be responsible for attracting the black soldiers to flee in another direction, and then Maomao and Xiaoye will take the opportunity to return the same way!"

"Then what are you going to do?!" As if sensing something bad was about to happen, Maomao's voice became a little excited.

“As long as you and Xiao Ye can escape successfully, the three of us will find a chance to disperse again. I said it before, a single target is less likely to be discovered. Now we have to disperse one by one and confuse the enemy's vision, so we have hope of survival! As for whether we can escape the pursuit of the black soldiers after we separate, we can only leave it to fate, hehe.” Wang Yao felt that he might be scared crazy, because he felt that he was laughing, and even had a hint of inexplicable excitement and anticipation for the impending danger in his heart.

If this had happened in the past, he would never have believed it even if he had beaten himself to death.

"No! I won't abandon you!" As expected, Maomao objected loudly. At this moment, her dark eyes were already filled with tears.

Shi Liang, who had been silent all this time, secretly glanced at Maomao, who had tears in her eyes, bit his pale lips, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "I agree with Wang Yao's proposal!"

"Shi Liang!" Ono, who had the best relationship with him, couldn't help but shout.

"Or do you have a better idea? Just like Wang Yao said, only if we spread out can we have hope of survival!" Shi Liang glanced at Xiao Ye and smiled tragically: "Maomao is in your hands. If you let her get hurt, I will not let you go when I return!"

When Maomao heard this, she finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.

Shi Liang looked at Maomao, his green eyes glowing softly: "You must live well."

2Da looked at everyone with a heavy face: "Is it decided then?"

At this time, the noise in the distance behind was getting closer and closer, and the black soldiers had caught up!
"Let's play a game with the black soldier!"

Looking at his frustrated teammates, Wang Yao smiled and gave them a final shot of reassurance.

"A game of cat and mouse, let's see who is the smartest mouse (Shu)!" Everyone was stunned, and then they couldn't help but smile. "Mouse" was the nickname given to these Shu soldiers by the Wu and Wei countries, but at this time, it sounded particularly appropriate.

Yes, in such a desperate situation, the black soldiers are like evil cats that are chasing them relentlessly, and they are indeed like mice that can only run away everywhere!

"Finally I found you, you hiding mice!"

Amidst a chilling roar, a black soldier with a ferocious face pushed aside the bushes around him and suddenly appeared at the side of the crowd. He swung the sharp sword in his hand straight at the unsuspecting Maomao!
"action!"

Erda shouted and flew in front of Maomao.

Bang!

Sparks flew as metal clashed and Erda raised his shield to block the black soldier's attack. At the same time, Wang Yao followed suit tacitly. The sharp black sword pierced through the black soldier's chest from the blind spot, killing him with one blow.

Buzz~!

A slight vibration suddenly came from Wang Yao's chest, as if the phone in his arms was vibrating, but at this time, he had no time to care about these. After killing the black soldier, he turned around and yelled at Maomao and Xiaoye: "Go!!"

The battle was over, leaving no time for anyone to think. Although she was reluctant, as a soldier, Maomao knew what to do at the critical moment to make the most advantageous decision. She wiped the tears from her eyes and shouted at the backs of the three people: "You must hold on. When we go back, we will definitely ask the captain to bring reinforcements to support you!"

After saying that, Maomao disappeared into the bushes, pulled by Xiaoye, looking back every few steps.

After the two men left, a large number of black soldiers surrounded them from the bushes on all sides. 2da immediately shouted, "Iron Bucket Formation!"

After two days of running-in, Wang Yao and Erda Shi Liang had become more and more tacitly understood. As soon as Erda spoke, he immediately followed his own accord and leaned back against the other two, forming a circular battle line.

The violent clash of swords produced a large amount of sparks and foam. The harsh clanging sound resounded throughout the endless grass, attracting more black soldiers. The gushing blood dyed the grass red, and also dyed the eyes of the three men red.

The bodies of the black soldiers kept falling at my feet——

The pile is getting higher and higher.

At this time, it's all about willpower and the strong desire to survive! But.
After all, human willpower is limited, and physical strength is even more limited. Faced with a vast mass of black soldiers, an enemy that cannot be killed no matter how hard they try, even a brave warrior cannot withstand the large numbers. Even those three are as tenacious as they can't withstand the pressure and are forced to retreat.

During the difficult battle, Wang Yao and Erda looked at each other, and each saw the message of escape in the other's eyes.

"Shi Liang, run!" 2 Da roared, then swung his sword hard at the three black soldiers in front of him, knocking them down, and with the remaining momentum he knocked down the black soldiers who were rushing up from behind.

When people are in danger, the power they unleash is extremely terrifying! This is the same principle as the story of the old lady who lifted the car with one hand just to save her granddaughter in time.

As a gap opened up on the battlefront, Wang Yao and his two companions immediately seized the opportunity and broke through the weak spot in the enemy's encirclement and escaped.

At the same time, in the rear of the black soldiers.

The captain-level soldier with a square face looked at the three blue soldiers fleeing from afar. He couldn't help but curse: "What a bunch of good-for-nothings! They can't even take down a few Shu Kingdom's elite soldiers!"

"I didn't expect that these Shu Kingdom's vanguard soldiers are so powerful." Another captain-level soldier couldn't help but admire.

Powerful enemies are opponents worthy of respect, and this will not change in any world.

"Hmph, I've lost my patience with these rats. Since we can't catch them alive, it's the same thing to hand over their heads to the King of Wei!" The square-faced captain-level soldier snorted coldly, then he raised his right hand with a gloomy expression.

"Magic soldiers, get ready!"
