Yelü Shenxuan's reaction speed was astonishing.

And in the shortest possible time, Yelü Shenxuan made tactical arrangements.

“The order went out, and soldiers within the city dispersed. Common soldiers sought water sources to fight fires, while the elite cavalry...focused their efforts on pressing towards the south gate. As long as they could capture Li Chen, even if every soldier in Yueya Pass was buried here, it would be worth it!”

Yelü Shenxuan's ruthlessness was no less than Li Chen's.

After the order was given, the Liao army inside Yueya Guan City quickly sprang into action.

The ordinary Liao army began to organize firefighting, but most of these fires were fueled by tung oil. When they came into contact with water, instead of extinguishing the flames, they would only grow larger, causing considerable casualties and panic among the Liao troops.

However, the Liao army were not all fools. They knew that burying fires with gravel could extinguish them, and there was no shortage of sand at Yuemen Pass. Under the tireless cooperation of countless Liao soldiers like ants, although the fire could not be completely extinguished, it was brought under control.

Even outside the city, Qin's army rockets were still being launched, inflicting considerable casualties on the Liao army.

Faced with these casualties, Yelü Shenxuan didn't care at all. What he cared about was whether he could catch Li Chen.

Soon, good news arrived.

The Cavalry Battalion still followed the clues and found Li Chen's whereabouts.

Xu Wei hacked a Liaoning soldier to death with one strike, then propped his sword on the ground and knelt down, gasping for breath heavily.

Thick blood mixed with sweat dripped to the ground. Feeling his body had already reached its limit, Xu Wei strained to lift his head and look around.

Chen Tong, protecting the prince, was still fighting.

The enemy forces surrounding us are increasing.

And these enemy soldiers were clearly stronger than those they had encountered before. Xu Wei knew that this was what was called the "elite cavalry."

Each and every one of them is a top-notch expert.

But the distance to where the Qin army controlled the south gate was at least another mile, and the current situation made it impossible to charge through.

"Die, you bastard!"

From the side, came Chen Tong's furious shout.

Xu Wei suddenly turned his head and saw a Liao soldier sneak up on him from behind while he was distracted. Fortunately, Chen Tong discovered it and killed the Liao soldier with a single blow, saving Xu Wei's life.

Chen Tong and Xu Wei looked at each other, considering this life-saving grace.

"How are you" Chen Tong asked.

Xu Wei gasped and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it."

This statement caused Chen Tong's heart to sink suddenly.

At this moment, Xu Wei said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, let Chen Tong take you away."

"I will stay and cover your retreat."

In the end, it was Xu Wei who spoke those words.

Li Chen's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Let's go together."

"I can't go, Your Highness!"

Xu Weizhi raised his voice and said urgently, “Your Highness is certainly not a indecisive person. How can you be so merciful at this time Xu Weizhi has nothing to lose anyway. Dying here is also considered giving my life for the country and Your Highness. As long as Your Highness can escape safely, then everything will be worthwhile.”

"Xu Wei started from a common soldier in the Imperial Guard, with no connections or support. He only achieved his current status because of Your Highness's favor and recognition. Now, it is time for Xu Wei to repay Your Highness's kindness by serving him loyally."

"Furthermore, Chen Tong commanded the Jinyiwei central command. Without him, most of the Jinyiwei would be paralyzed. He couldn't leave His Highness, but Xu Wei could."

"Please, Your Highness, leave quickly!"

His words were incredibly fast, but also extremely resolute.

Li Chen gritted his teeth, he knew very well that now was not the time to hesitate, but to abandon Xu Wei, he found it hard to make this decision.tion of the Eastern Factory.After finishing his words, Zhao He Shan clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "That's the whole story.
