Hsu Fengnian suddenly looked at an unremarkable rider in the group of mounted bandits. "Old Sir, you're not kind. You let a great grandmaster like Zhong Liang pretend to be a coward for so long."
The old man seemed to have let go of the knot in his heart. He laughed loudly and said, "All is fair in war."
Hsu Fengnian smiled.
The old man had already turned his horse around. He turned his head and asked, "This Old Man is very curious. When did you know that the ten thousand riders would come? Or was this a trap set up by you and the Protectorate from the very beginning?"
Hsu Fengnian didn't say anything.
The old man shook his head and slowly left.
The Order of Peace, "Divinator Slow," Tuoba Qiyun, Yelu Yuhu, and the great demon Zhong Liang, who had been hiding among the mounted bandits until the last moment, returned north.
Tuoba Qiyun coughed a few times. After stopping her cough, she said, "It's a pity that Murong Baoding still needs half a day to get here. Otherwise, we might have a chance to make Hsu Fengnian stay."
The Imperial Tutor of Beimang said calmly, "It's not that Murong Baoding can't make it. He just doesn't want to."
Before leaving, Yelu Yuhu didn't forget to make a chopping hand gesture at that bastard. At this moment, she said coldly, "They're all traitors!"
They were all traitors.
Other than Murong Baoding, who else had the surname Murong?
The old man had already closed his eyes to rest, turning a deaf ear.
Tuoba Qiyun shouted, "Shut up!"
The demon Zhong Liang, who had returned without accomplishing anything, yawned loudly. He didn't want to get involved in anything.
The old man was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Whether it's Yelu or Murong, even if one Beimang can't hold them all, as long as we take down Liyang, no matter what their surname is, no matter how ambitious they are, it'll be enough to share."
Yelu Yuhu said in a small voice, "Sir, I was rude."
Behind the four horsemen, the more than a thousand bandits who were baffled by the situation felt very bleak in the wind.
Especially the dumbstruck Song Diao 'er, who had no idea what had happened. The situation had taken a turn for the worse.
Yu Luandao, who thought he was going to fight to the death, came to Hsu Fengnian's side. The latter approached him and patted his shoulder. "Let's go back to Liangzhou together with the Great Snow Dragon Riders."
Yu Luandao stared blankly for a moment, his eyes instantly becoming moist. He quickly turned his horse around and galloped away.
Hsu Fengnian gave Hong Yuang a look. The latter nodded with a grin, and then stopped talking.
Hsu Fengnian, whose back was facing Hong Yuang, said calmly, "You don't have to blame yourself. After you're done, go and tell the thousand-odd mounted bandits that if you want to live, you don't need them to risk their lives. Later on, each of you will go to the battlefield and cut off the heads of five Rouran cavalry. "
No matter how stupid Song Diao 'er was, and how he had always been a very intelligent person, he should know what was about to happen to him. As a result, he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed with all his might. He said in a heart-wrenching voice, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Although Song Diao' er deserves to die, Song Diao 'er still has one thousand and two hundred loyal mounted bandits that can be used. I can even help the Beiliang gather another two thousand strong mounted bandits. Song Diao' er will definitely help Your Highness disrupt the Beimang's supply lines …"
"Your Highness, I beg you to spare my life. Song Diao 'er really is still useful!"
No matter how Song Diao 'er kowtowed and begged for mercy, Hsu Fengnian had already left.
When Song Diao 'er saw Hong Yu's feet out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly raised his head and roared before he died, "Hsu Fengnian, at least let this old man die by your hands!"
Hong Yu slapped his palm down on the head of this ungrateful mounted bandit and pressed down, turning his head and upper body into a pile of meat paste. It looked like a blood-red tree stump. Hong Yu lightly shook his hand and spat. He sneered, "You got off too easy."
The Youzhou cavalry had just finished cleaning up the battlefield. When they heard the news from Yu Luandao, there were no heaven-shaking cheers that came from surviving a calamity.
All the Youzhou cavalry who had thought that they would once again have to abandon the corpses of their comrades, silently carried the corpses of their fallen comrades onto their warhorses with red eyes.
After Hsu Fengnian stopped his horse, he looked at the three thousand and two hundred Youzhou cavalry, as well as the comrades behind them who had their eyes forever closed.
Hsu Fengnian's lips trembled, but in the end, he did not say a single word. He and his horse turned around and began to head south.
This cavalry would soon be able to head west, then south again, and they would be able to enter Liang Province.
Yu Luandao followed.
Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao followed.
Fan Fen followed.
The three thousand and two hundred cavalry followed.
That child Yu Dilong was still hanging at the tail of the army. He sniffled and muttered to himself, "Big guy, I'll owe you first."
Shi Yulu said softly, "General, I didn't dare to tell you before, but Liu Tao, who died on the battlefield two days ago, was that young scout who was waiting for you in Ji Bei Village. Before this child died, he said that if you had time in the future, he hoped that General could pour a bowl of wine for his corporal in front of the tombstone on Mount Qingliang. It would be best if you could get him a bowl as well."
Captain Fan Fen stretched out his hand to wipe his face. His expression could not be seen clearly. "This child did not drink when he was alive."
Hsu Fengnian nodded.
He remembered that young scout. Back then, when he had returned from the village, the scout had wanted to speak but did not dare to. In the end, he did not say anything and only smiled bashfully.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly pressed his horse's belly and raised his spear. He charged straight for the ten thousand Rouran cavalry and the Hong Jingyan.
