"Let's go! This is our last chance!" Lu Wenru urged the people beside him.
The battle with Da Zhou had been in a stalemate until now. The disparity in strength between the enemy and their side was too great. In addition, they had been surrounded for half a day and lacked food and water. Everyone had already reached the limit of their patience. Even Si Qin's final path of asking for help from Da Zhou had been cut off.
Lu Heng knew that the situation was hopeless.
He no longer had the time to lament that the large amount of gold and silver he had invested had gone to waste. It was already hard enough to get out alive.
Da Zhou's soldiers and the Tatan were fighting to the death. They knew that if they didn't give it their all, only death would await them. As such, each of them exploded with their greatest potential. Even though they had fewer people than Da Zhou, they were still able to maintain a delicate balance.
Lu Heng saw this opportunity to escape precisely because of this. If Da Zhou won, he really would have no hope. He also knew that the Tatan wouldn't be able to last much longer. As such, he had to act quickly.
Right at this moment, in the desert to the west of the battlefield, the sound of a bugle horn suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, a strong wind sprang up. The banner on Pang Xiao's back fluttered in the wind. The black banner with the word 'Pang' embroidered on it fluttered in the wind. At this time, a similar troop had arrived in the sea of sand in the no man's land. The banner had the same word 'Pang' flying above it.
The sound of the bugle horn rang through the clouds. The sound of the drums became louder and louder, urging people to move faster. When the soldiers of Da Zhou who had been caught in a fierce battle heard the sound of the war drums, their hearts trembled and their blood seemed to burn. When they saw that the group of troops in the desert had the large banner with the word 'pang', everyone's hearts jumped with joy.
They had surrounded the Tatars outside the no man's land. Now that they had people in the no man's land, the Tatars were like turtles in a jar. Victory was only a matter of time!
Lu Heng looked at the troops in the desert that were getting closer and closer. His pupils constricted.
Other people didn't know this, but he knew.
Pang Xiao's people didn't have the time to go around the no man's land to ambush them. The only explanation was that there were people in the desert.
He still hadn't forgotten about Xi Yue.
He had completely given up on Xiyue, and at the same time, developed an unprecedented jealousy and hatred. After he left Xiyue, he gradually embarked on a path that was completely different from Qin Yining.
Xi Yue was a large oasis located in the depths of the desert in the no man's land. The original inhabitants of the oasis were people who lived in seclusion a hundred years ago. The arrival of Qin Yining and Pang Xiao that day gave the people of Xi Yue a living goddess and their new king!
Who would have thought that Pang Xiao would be willing to use his own troops in Xiyue for the decisive battle between Da Zhou and Tatan!
Lu Heng urged the people around him, "Quick, quick, quick, let's go!"
However, the speed of the people in the desert was extremely fast. The person in the lead was riding a fast horse. She was dressed in dark green clothes and her hair was tied up high. She had an exquisite figure and a beautiful face. She had a long sword in her left hand and a long braid in her right hand. She took the lead and rushed out of the crowd.
Amidst the yellow sand of the desert, that person's face gradually became clearer.
Lu Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Wasn't that the female guard by Qin Huaiyuan's side? It was said that she had died with Qin Yining's family, Cao Yuqing!
He might have mistaken her for someone else, but when he left Xi Yue, he was lucky enough to have Cao Yuqing escort him. Cao Yuqing had even comforted him. No matter what, he would never mistake this person for someone else!
Why would Cao Yuqing appear in the group?
Could it be that … the Family Qin didn't die at all!
Lu Heng lowered his head and ran.
No matter how calm a person was, in a life and death situation, they couldn't care less about appearances or rules. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He only felt that Pan An was worthy of being called Pan An's daughter. Their family had played such a big game of chess and deceived everyone!
The location of the last stop might have been part of Pang Xiao's plan. They were just waiting for people from the desert to surround them!
"Kill!" At Cao Yuqing's command, the small assault team formed by the spies behind her suddenly plunged into the Tatan's group like a sharp arrow.
The soldiers who came after were dressed in rattan armor. Some were on horses, some were on camels, and there were also infantrymen. Every one of them held a weapon and advanced in an orderly manner under the command of their commander.
The leader of these rattan armor soldiers was dressed in a black brocade robe. He wore a silk headscarf and held a feather fan. His beard fluttered in the wind, and he had a handsome face. It was Qin Huaiyuan!
"Beat the drums." Qin Huaiyuan ordered.
The shirtless men on the chariot received the order and beat the drums in unison. The momentum was so great that it was as if there was a surging tide.
When Pang Xiao and Si Qin were locked in a fierce battle, Si Qin was already in a state of panic.
Pang Xiao was shocked at first because he did not arrange for people to take a detour through the deserted desert. However, when he saw that the person who came was his father-in-law, Pang Xiao was instantly encouraged and his morale rose again.
His admiration for his father-in-law was as high as a mountain. What kind of schemes did he have to be able to keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court and organize the troops of Xiyue to help him at the crucial moment?
Pang Xiao's attacks became fiercer and fiercer. Si Qin was already no match for Pang Xiao. Now that the morale of his troops had collapsed, he could not hold on any longer.
The two warhorses crossed each other. Pang Xiao chopped off one of Si Qin's arms with one strike, causing him to fall off his horse in pain.
Tang Xiu and Huzi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went forward and tied Si Qin up like a dumpling.
Pang Xiao turned and charged into the enemy. He stood on his horse and raised his saber, chopping off the Tatan King Flag. Ji Zeyu also had a tacit understanding with Pang Xiao. He also turned and chopped off the Commander's Flag, allowing the horse to trample on it.
When the Tatan people saw that the King Flag and Commander's Flag had fallen, they were immediately terrified and lost their composure. The people of Da Zhou, whose morale was high, once again gained the upper hand.
After a night and a day of fierce fighting, the battle finally came to an end.
Pang Xiao urged his horse to gallop towards Qin Huaiyuan. When he got close, he jumped off his horse and saluted happily, "Father-in-law, why have you come?"
Qin Huaiyuan got off his chariot and smiled at Pang Xiao, "Of course I can't sit by and do nothing about such a big matter. I only brought a thousand of Xiyue's elite troops. I was originally worried that I would miss the crucial moment, but now it seems that I came at the right time. "
"Father-in-law, you have been a great help! How are you feeling? "
"Not bad."
"Is everyone in the family doing well? How are Brother Han and Brother Zhao? "
"They are all well. You don't have to worry. They are used to living in Xiyue. What about Sister Yi? "
"Sister Yi is doing well. She was injured a few days ago because of my negligence. She is now recuperating at Zhuangzi. Oh right, Sister Yi gave birth to a pair of twins. The brother is called Brother Xuan, and the sister is called Sister Yun. They are already seven months old!"
