No one expected that this grand excursion would end in such a disgraceful and tragic manner.
No, it hadn't ended yet.
After burning the camp, the Turkic people began a pursuit and massacre. Because it was a surprise attack, the people on this journey didn't even have time to form into groups. Everyone scrambled out of the camp, fleeing south the whole way.
This night, even many years later, was the most terrifying night in Shang Ruyi's memory, one she dared not recall.
Her ears were filled with screams, exclamations, complaints, and cries of despair. These sounds suffocated her even more than the blood splattered on her from those hit by arrows around her. During this time, the Da Ye Dynasty's army tried a few times to resist, but each time, due to the darkness, the enemy's fierce attacks, and the chaos of fleeing crowds, they could hardly stop the enemy's advance.
Escape, they could only escape!
