This time, however, he did not lose his mind and made a decision quickly.
"You're right. As long as we're alive, we can always fight another day. Let's get ready and lead our guards to break through!"
Both Bao Yankang and Bao Junfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They feared that Bao Youxiang might be impulsive and insist on staying to fight the Han Dynasty to the death.
The facts are now clear: the Han Empire is too ferocious. Even if they stay, it will only be a futile sacrifice, and it will be completely meaningless.
If they manage to break through, they can wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
"Commander, there's no time to lose, let's go!"
Bao Junfeng urged them on.
Bao Youxiang shook his head.
"Pack your things first, take everything you can, we absolutely can't leave it to those bastards in the Great Han Empire!"
Bao Junfeng and the other man didn't say much, and sent people to clean up.
In their opinion, the wisest thing to do now is to leave immediately, but they also understand that Bao Youxiang values his belongings too much and will not leave unless he takes them with him.
Fortunately, there wasn't much to pack, and by the time they finished, the Han Empire's army hadn't arrived.
This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Commander, everything is packed. Let's go."
Bao Youxiang nodded.
He turned back for one last look at the place where he had spent so much time, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
But in the end, that reluctance turned into grief.
"Wa State, I, Bao Youxiang, will return!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with Bao Yankang and the others, along with his personal guards.
……
On top of a mountain.
Group 8939
Qi Tongwei stood proudly. He did not command this battle, but in order to prevent Bao Youxiang from escaping, he personally appeared here and released his divine sense to see the situation of Bao Youxiang's base camp clearly.
He also witnessed Bao Youxiang and his group's escape.
Upon seeing the direction the other party fled, he showed no panic; instead, a playful smile appeared in his eyes.
During the past two weeks of dormant development.
He selected 500 men from his 60,000-strong army to establish a new department, the Eastern Depot!
All the warriors selected for the Eastern Depot were taught body-refining techniques by him. Although these people were not cultivators, their strength had at least reached the level of ancient martial arts.
After half a month of intensive training, they all became ancient martial arts masters with internal strength.
In addition to improving their strength, Qi Tongwei also taught these people from the Eastern Depot how to gather intelligence, track and assassinate, as well as various skills needed by secret agents.
Although the Eastern Depot only had 500 people, their overall capabilities were outstanding, especially on the battlefield. If used properly, they could play a very important role.
For example, this time, he predicted Bao Youxiang and others' escape route in advance and arranged for the people of the Eastern Depot to ambush them on their retreat route.
Although Bao Youxiang's personal guard was quite large, its strength was far inferior to that of the Eastern Depot's secret agents.
Imagine, five hundred grandmaster-level ancient martial arts experts dealing with a mere one or two thousand people would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, he had no worries.
They were well-prepared for this war, and now the Wa State Allied Army has been completely defeated and can no longer cause any trouble.

"Bao Youxiang, we will meet soon."
Qi Tongwei muttered to himself, then his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
……
On the run.
Bao Youxiang felt incredibly miserable.
He's come a long way over the years, and even during the fiercest battles with the Burmese army, he's never been this disheveled.

But now, he really is like a stray dog, homeless!
This time, he didn't know where he could go after escaping. He was still completely lost about the future, and a deep sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.
Everyone was in a heavy mood, and they remained silent except for continuing their journey.
Because at that moment, they really weren't in the mood to talk.
What's most important to them now is to break out of here as soon as possible and get rid of the threat from the Han Empire.
The front of the line.
After walking a distance, Bao Yankang and Bao Junfeng finally couldn't help but start chatting.
"Junfeng, what are your thoughts on our future?"
Bao Yankang asked in a deep voice.
He asked this question because he himself was unsure.
He had no plans for what to do next.
Bao Junfeng remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"To be honest, I don't know what we should do next. After this happened, my mind is a complete mess. Sigh!"
He sighed deeply.
Bao Yankang's expression froze for a moment, then he became dejected.
Yes, they've all fallen into this state, now they're running around like stray dogs.
In this situation, who has the mind to think about the future?
group
After a moment, Bao Junfeng suddenly spoke again.
"I do have an idea in mind, but I'm not sure if it will work."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yankang's eyes lit up.
"Tell me quickly."
"Junfeng, we're in this situation now, so don't worry about anything."
Bao Junfeng nodded, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice. (iv)
"Judging from Qi Tongwei's recent attack on our Wa State, his target isn't just us. Now that he's wiped us out, he might soon set his sights on other warlords."
“I’ve read reports about him. He once said he wanted to unify northern Myanmar. Many people thought he was just talking, but now it seems he didn’t just talk; he actually did it.”
"Yan Kang, my idea is that we can lobby other warlords to unite with us against the Great Han Empire."
Bao Yankang paused, his brows furrowing deeply.
He had to admit that Bao Junfeng's suggestion wasn't entirely without merit.
However, he was somewhat worried. Now that they were like stray dogs, would those warlords join forces with them?
After all, they are no longer the powerful Wa State they once were!
Bao Yankang hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his concern.
After listening, Bao Junfeng shook his head slightly.
“Yan Kang, although we've been crippled, our influence remains. And as you've seen, the Great Han Empire is indeed too powerful. Even our Wa State has been reduced to this state. Any single warlord, fighting alone, simply couldn't possibly be a match for the Great Han Empire.”
"Given the current situation, all the warlords face only one path: to unite against Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire!"
Bao Yankang's eyes lit up!
Uniting with other warlords to resist the Han Empire is indeed a viable strategy.
Moreover, if this method works, they might even be able to take revenge. If they destroy Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire, perhaps their Wa State Alliance Army can rise again.
At that time, they were still warlords ruling over a region in northern Myanmar!
"Good, Junfeng, your suggestion is excellent. After we break through, come with me to talk to my father. He has some connections with other warlords, and if he gets involved, the chances of success are very high."
Bao Junfeng nodded.
As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wa State Alliance Army, he naturally did not want the Wa State Alliance Army to decline.
He has enormous ambitions.
Under the protection of the royal guard, Bao Youxiang and his entourage traveled at a fast pace. Just as they were about to leave the territory of Wa State, the royal guard in front suddenly stopped, and a commotion broke out in the ranks.
"I gonna go see."
Seeing this, Bao Yankang felt slightly uneasy. He said something to Bao Junfeng and then went to the front of the group to find out what was going on.
Bao Junfeng was a little worried, so he followed.
When they reached the front of the line and saw what was happening before them, their expressions changed drastically!
Because in front of them, hundreds of people were blocking their way.
These people were none other than the Eastern Depot's Embroidered Uniform Guards, whom Qi Tongwei had arranged to ambush them here in advance!
This is troublesome! Bao Yankang and Bao Junfeng exchanged a glance, both having the same thought in their minds.
In the team.
When Bao Youxiang saw the group suddenly stop, he frowned and asked those around him.
"What happened? Why did it suddenly stop?"
One of his trusted subordinates glanced ahead, his face slightly pale, and said in a deep voice.
"Commander, it seems there are people blocking the road ahead. Young Master and Deputy Commander went to check."
Someone is blocking the way!
Upon hearing this, Bao Youxiang was startled, and his heart began to pound!
His first thought was that the people of the Han Empire had caught up with them!
"Let's go and have a look!"
He became increasingly uneasy and, with several dozen personal guards, walked towards the front of the procession.
Bao Yankang looked at the Imperial Guard in front of him. Although he was very nervous, he did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said to the other party in a deep voice.
"Everyone, we are from the Wa State Alliance Army. We are just passing through here today, please make way for us."
Give Way?
Upon hearing this, Dong Can immediately smiled.
"We are the Eastern Depot and Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Great Han Empire. We are here specifically to wait for you. Do you think we will make way for you?"
His tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Although they are outnumbered, only a few hundred people came today.
But facing nearly two thousand opponents, he was not intimidated at all.
Because all of them are top-notch ancient martial arts masters, any one of them could take on dozens.
The mere 1000-plus men in front of them, mostly remnants of a defeated army, were not taken seriously at all.
People of the Great Han Empire?
Upon hearing this, Bao Yankang and Bao Junfeng's expressions changed drastically.
They were even sweating profusely from nervousness.
This great Han Empire truly has a way of penetrating every corner!
