"General — the enemy is already prepared, what do we do now?"
Seeing that the number of enemies was increasing, their charge was met with a strong obstacle, and it was difficult for them to advance. Instead, they were being suppressed by the enemy.
Seeing this situation, the general in charge of the sneak attack was so angry that his eyes turned red, but the weapon in his hand never stopped, and blood dyed the ground.
"Fight and retreat —"
He was one of the few generals under Huang Song's command who did not come from the Yuanshi family. He was extremely decisive. Seeing that the enemy had already set up an ambush, he decisively chose to give up. However, he did not order his soldiers to turn and run. Instead, he ordered them to retreat in an orderly manner. As long as they could retreat before the enemy reinforcements arrived, it would not be a problem to preserve most of their forces. Although Jiang Pengji had more people on her side, she couldn't block them all at once.
Of course, if the battle dragged on for too long, the soldiers under Jiang Pengji's command could exhaust them to death.
Time was running out, and the enemy was closing in on them. The sneak attack soldiers couldn't help but feel despair as they faced the endless stream of enemies.
Jiang Pengji was the first to notice the situation on the battlefield. She raised her eyebrows when she saw the general retreat decisively.
There were many talents under Huang Song's command, but for some reason, they were not valued. As a result, many of them were not famous.
Not to mention anything else, this person's ability to judge the situation was much better than Yuan Xin's.
However —
"My place is not a hotel. How can you come and go as you please?"
Jiang Pengji laughed and gave Little White an order. Little White changed its meek behavior and galloped toward the northeast.
The sneak attack came very suddenly. Even with Jiang Pengji's early warning, casualties were inevitable in a battle between two armies.
When Jiang Pengji arrived on Little White's back, the area within 200 feet of the Northeast Barracks was a mess. Weapons and arrows were scattered everywhere. Corpses of both sides were lying on the ground. Fresh blood soaked the soil, and a strong smell of blood wafted in the hot and stuffy air.
Jiang Pengji was cold. Without saying a word, she carried the God Slaying Sword and joined the chaotic battle. The blade was like the Black and White Ghosts of Impermanence's magic weapon that could reap souls. With one slash, she killed a person. She and Little White had worked together for many years, and their teamwork was excellent. She would slash, while Little White would charge and trample.
"Master …"
Xie Ze was in charge of the Northeast Barracks. When he saw that his lord was also present, he was so scared that his heart almost went out on strike.
Jiang Pengji gently swung the God-Slaying Saber. Fresh blood splattered on the ground, leaving a long trail. The tainted blood faded from the blade, and it became clean and shiny again.
"Yuan Gui, gather some soldiers and follow me!"
Xie Ze held back countless words of ridicule in his heart, but what he blurted out was — "This general obeys your order!"
He turned around and called for a group of soldiers and horses, gathering more than a thousand elites at the fastest speed.
Although Xie Ze did not have night blindness, his night vision was only at the level of an ordinary person. He wasn't blind, but he still couldn't see clearly a few feet away. He also knew how dangerous it was to fight at night! If they were not careful, they could easily be killed by the enemy. How could the lord not understand this?
"Everyone, keep up!"
"My lord, you can just leave the task of chasing after the thieves to me. Why do you need to take the risk yourself?"
Xie Ze never thought that there would be a day when he would worry about his lord stealing his job.
My lord is brave and good at fighting. As a general, I am deeply ashamed!
"They're cutting off their tail in order to survive. They're abandoning a portion of their troops to hold up the rear while the vanguard takes the opportunity to pull away. Now that the night is dark, as long as they can open up a distance of 30 to 40 feet, it will be even harder to catch up with them, "Jiang Pengji said," Keep up, don't lose them! "
Day was different from night. A person's field of vision was limited.
The enemy only had to worry about running forward, but the pursuing troops had to consider many aspects.
Jiang Pengji was very clear that even if Xie Ze led the troops to chase after them, he would at most bring back one or two hundred corpses. The real big shots would be firing the cannons.
Xie Ze said, "My lord, the wilderness is dangerous and unpredictable. You'd better …"
Jiang Pengji said, "Your eyes aren't good. If I let you chase after them, the enemy will be long gone!"
Xie Ze was speechless.
Jiang Pengji's night vision was extremely strong. Even if this body was Liu Xi's, her night vision was still better than that of an ordinary person. Besides, no matter how fast the enemy ran, could they be faster than her mental strength? As long as they were within the range of her mental strength, she could find the enemy's position at any time.
Soon, Xie Ze understood why his lord said that their eyes weren't good.
The soldiers chasing after the enemy lost them, but Jiang Pengji confidently pointed out the enemy's direction. Two points in a line, they headed straight for it!
Not long after, Xie Ze heard the enemy's movements.
Jiang Pengji took down the bow and arrows on the horse's back as she rode. She nocked an arrow and drew the bow to a full moon in one breath.
Several arrows left the bowstring and flew. The arrowheads seemed to have eyes and accurately hit the backs of several people.
They were suddenly ambushed. The bodies of the enemy soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell forward due to inertia. They faced the ground, their faces smashing into the ground and dragging some distance. Their companions nearby heard the movement and immediately knew that their pursuers were nearby. They were horrified.
"General, the enemy has caught up …"
The sound of horse hooves behind them made them panic. They had finally shaken off their pursuers, but why did they come after them again?
The general said, "Based on the enemy's movements, I think there aren't many pursuers. We can fight!"
Jiang Pengji rode Little White and charged for several feet. When dozens more people died under her sword, she acutely noticed that the enemy in front of her had stopped running and was about to get into formation to fight against them. She curled the corners of her lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile. She raised her hand and waved her sword, accurately hitting down the stray arrows that were shot at her. She raised her sword high.
"Kill …"
Thousands of feet away from the Northeast Camp, the two armies collided and launched a swift and violent charge.
Jiang Pengji happily harvested heads. It was really hard on Xie Ze, who was worried about her. He was afraid that his lord would be injured if he made a mistake.
"She's simply a lunatic!!!"
The enemy's general's face was ashen. How could he have imagined that Jiang Pengji would dare to run out of the camp with one or two thousand people and chase after and intercept them?
It would be fine if it was during the day, but visibility was obstructed at night. It was very easy to lose sight of the enemy and encounter unknown dangers.
Jiang Pengji was like a hothead, but she still caught up with them with great precision.
Of course, at that moment, he still did not know that the "lunatic" and "hothead" he mentioned were Huang Song's mortal enemies in this battle!
The two armies fought and quickly rushed into a mess. It was like two different-colored waves colliding with each other, merging and mixing with each other.
In a chaotic battle, it was easy to accidentally injure one's own side, but Jiang Pengji did not have this concern. She killed a child with one slash of her sword. Sometimes, she could even kill a group of them with one slash.
Xie Ze could only bitterly follow his lord with his trusted subordinates. Wherever his lord went, he would go and help her clean up the small fries.
He did this to protect Jiang Pengji, but it also exposed her position.
The enemy did not know Jiang Pengji's identity, but someone who could be protected by so many soldiers must be a big fish!
Unknowingly, Jiang Pengji steadily pulled the aggro. Even though the enemies came one after another, no one could hurt her.
The battle lasted for more than an hour. Jiang Pengji steadily won the title of Best of the Match. Xie Ze panted and shook his hands.
