"Lieutenant Xie, sound the gongs to retreat —"
Han Yu didn't hesitate at all. He even gave up the meat that was about to be in his mouth and let Yang Si go.
Xie Ze was leading his men to kill the enemy when he suddenly received such an order. His emotions fluctuated greatly and he almost vomited blood.
The deputy general was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot. He blurted out, "The advisor is confused —"
Xie Ze gritted his teeth and chose to follow Han Yu's judgment. He gave the order to retreat.
"The military advisor must have his reasons for doing this. We just have to follow his orders." Xie Ze's face was taut, his eyes stained with blood from the killing. "No matter how dissatisfied I am, military orders must be obeyed. How can I question them now? Don't say anything more. Retreat — retreat! "
The deputy general was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Although the position of a military advisor had the right to supervise military affairs, to put it bluntly, it was just an official subordinate to the general. It was mostly an adviser who mainly came up with ideas and strategies.
The strategists under different vassals were also different. Some were just staff officers with no military power, some had partial military power, and some were under the command of the Jianhe strategists who were in charge of the entire army. Han Yu wasn't an ordinary military advisor, but Xu Bei didn't completely delegate his authority to Han Yu to be a military advisor.
In short, Xie Ze, as the commander-in-chief, did not need to listen to Han Yu.
Big brother, can't you have your own opinion?
The deputy general was furious with Xie Ze, but he didn't dare to disobey orders and could only choose to retreat.
Only when he retreated did he realize that his rear army was almost completely routed by the enemy. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
How many enemies had ambushed them?
Ten thousand or twenty thousand?
In fact, Jiang Pengji had only brought 3,000 troops and horses with her to provide support. The remaining 7,000 troops were still on their way and would take about 15 minutes to arrive.
Seeing with her own eyes the bloody corpses, rolling stones, arrowheads, and burning oil that littered the ground of the Lonely Forest Canyon, her anger soared to the breaking point.
"My Lord, there are less than ten thousand corpses in the valley. Many of the corpses are still warm. It can be seen that the tragic battle happened not long ago …" Jiang Nongqin's face was solemn as well. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her cold eyes were emotionless. "My Lord, please send me to lead the troops to chase after them."
Jiang Pengji sneered and said, "No need, I'll go!"
Thus, she took three thousand people with her and left at the fastest speed possible.
What was embarrassing was that the three thousand soldiers were unable to catch up to Whitey, who was galloping at full speed. They were left behind by Whitey by several hundred feet.
She didn't care about the enemy's front and rear armies. She attacked as soon as she saw them and didn't show any mercy.
Jiang Pengji's expression was unprecedentedly gloomy. There was almost no pause in the God Slayer. Whenever the blade lit up, it would definitely reap a few lives.
Kuang –
There was a dull sound of collision as the enemy's rear army reacted and tried to block with their swords and shields.
Jiang Pengji exerted some force with her wrist, and the few tiger-headed bronze shields were cut in half by the God Slayer. The cut was smooth and neat.
Little White raised its hooves and stomped on the enemy soldiers, taking away the stupefied shieldbearers.
The blade of the God Slaying Saber was still as shiny as new. There was not a single crack or scratch on it.
"Courting death —"
Jiang Pengji had already rushed into the enemy's formation. In such a situation, the enemy would always attack the mount first.
Dozens of soldiers hid behind the shield wall. They held long spears in their hands and stabbed at Little White, who was under Jiang Pengji.
From the enemy's point of view, Little White was her mount. Even if she didn't lose any of her riding gear and armor, if she was really stabbed by the long spear, she would definitely lose control due to the pain and indirectly affect Jiang Pengji who was on the horse. As long as she fell off the horse, could the silver-armored young general fly into the sky?
Little did they know that someone had been in the sky and had never come down.
Their intentions were seen through by Jiang Pengji. With a twist of her wrist, the God Slaying Saber turned over.
She was as fast as a ghost. The blade cut off all the horizontal and straight blades on the long spear, leaving only a smooth piece of wood.
The speed of the wood did not decrease. It stabbed the fish scale armor on Little White's body. It was like a normal person walking on the street who was suddenly hit by a stick. Little White snorted in pain. His anger soared, and he went on a rampage even more ferociously. His hooves added more souls to his body.
"Kill —"
Jiang Pengji rushed dozens of feet into the enemy's formation before the 3,000 troops arrived.
When the enemies met, their eyes turned red. When the two sides fought, it was a life-and-death battle. Their battle cries soared to the sky.
The morale of Jiang Pengji's side was like a rainbow. They attacked the enemy's rear army and had the advantage of surprise. The enemy was caught unprepared.
Jiang Pengji's performance was too dazzling. She single-handedly stirred up one side and caused the enemy's formation to collapse.
The soldiers under her command were already full of anger. When they saw their former comrades die in the Lonely Gorge, their anger was added to their grief and indignation.
Now, all these emotions had turned into hostility.
With only 3,000 troops, they had defeated the enemy's rear army of 7,000.
Jiang Pengji alone had slaughtered countless people. The God Slaying Saber in her hand was full of human blood. It looked even colder and more terrifying.
"Who on earth is that?"
Deputy General Xie Ze was scared out of his wits. He had no time to complain about Xie Ze's obedience to Han Yu's orders.
He asked Xie Ze. How would Xie Ze answer?
Han Yu was very far away. He could only see a vague figure, but he was very familiar with the figure.
Suddenly, Han Yu clenched his fists tightly.
When he saw through Yang Si's plan, he knew that Wanzhou would send reinforcements to support Yang Si. But he never thought that the reinforcements would be Liu Xi.
In order to save his subordinates, a feudal lord risked his life and went into battle.
He didn't know if Yang Si was lucky or unlucky.
It was not a good thing for the plotters to have such an emotional lord.
But …
Han Yu felt a little envious of Yang Si.
"Lieutenant Xie, mobilize the archers. We must kill that silver-armored soldier!"
The biggest disadvantage of Jiang Pengji's side was the lack of long-range forces.
After all, they were rushing to rescue the soldiers and provide support, so they couldn't bring a lot of supplies and machinery.
Xie Ze did as he was told without any hesitation.
Yang Si was the first to notice the movement on Han Yu's side. He was so angry that his whole face turned pale. Han Wenbin had already recognized the lord.
"Lieutenant Qin, quickly go and protect the lord. Mobilize the troops to contain the enemy's central army. We can't let Han Wenbin's wishful thinking succeed."
Qin Gong immediately responded and rushed out on his horse. His reaction was a little slow. He finally realized what Yang Si had said.
Protect the lord?
Wait …
The lord is here?
Qin Gong looked cold and ruthless, but his heart was trembling with fear.
Qin Gong couldn't be blamed for not recognizing Jiang Pengji. Generally speaking, he had only seen Jiang Pengji twice.
Both times, Jiang Pengji had appeared in women's clothing. Anyone who was not blind would not be able to mistake her gender.
Now, she had changed into men's clothing. She was wearing a dignified and heavy armor. She also had an aura of 2.8 meters. Killing people was like cutting vegetables. It would be strange if Qin Gong could not recognize her. After the shock, Qin Gong was touched and worried. He was afraid that something bad would happen to Jiang Pengji.
