Chapter 483: Want more

After running forty miles in one breath, Qi Duming ordered the army to stop

advancing and rectify temporarily.

It's not that he doesn't want to return to Yecheng sooner, but that if he runs

like this, the army will be gone.

Fortunately, the three princesses didn't chase after the end. It seemed that

she focused on maintaining the results of the battle and receiving the

prisoners, which made Qi Duming breathe back. He roughly looked at the team

below, at least four to five thousand people could keep up with the line, and

the loss was a little less than expected.

Having said that, it was already an extremely heavy blow to him—whether it was

the Chinese army or the ingenious battalion capable of manipulating ballistas

and bronze cannons, they were all elite soldiers he had cultivated little by

little, and now half of them were thrown in the sights. Shandu is equivalent

to breaking one of two hands, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as

a severe injury.

Qi Du Ming called a messenger, "You go to Pingzhendu to inform General Lu,

saying that the main force of Shenzhou is attacking Wangshandu, so he can

quickly strengthen the defense on the opposite shore."

"My lord, don't you report the situation here?"

"Nonsense! It's good if I can remind him!" Qi Duming said angrily, "If he

loses, he won't necessarily notify me."

"Subordinates understand."

After the army left on horseback, Qi Duming asked the adjutant to open the map

and confirm the army's next journey.

"We are now on Wanhua Road, and Liye City is almost fifty miles away. If

Qingqi is allowed to travel with the big troops, we will definitely not be

there before dark." The adjutant pointed to the map, "So we should send

cavalry back first. I don’t have to choose a place to camp tonight."

"Zhazhai, if I leave first, I'm afraid it will chill the brothers below." Qi

Duming sighed. He dropped the troops that were still at war and led the entire

army to evacuate. In the next period of time, he must spend a little more to

appease people's hearts. "But when the time comes, the scouts will be doubled,

let them stare at the rear, and don't let the Jinxia Army touch it again."

"Yes."

Just as the adjutant responded, two cannons suddenly sounded in the forest on

both sides of the official road!

The troops who had just stopped to rest and recuperated suddenly gathered like

frightened birds, their eyes fixed on the direction of the woods.

"My lord, this—" The adjutant was stunned.

"Don't panic, it must be a bluff!" Qi Duming said categorically, "This is in

Ganzhou, and they can't get around by dividing their troops!"

There are no rivers nearby, and Jinxia is not like them to regard the town as

a stronghold, relying on land to transport materials, how can it play the

trick of dividing forces? A troop with more than two thousand people must be

arranged to follow. If they do this, they will have to act four or five days

in advance if they don't say anything, otherwise they won't have to fight, and

long-distance marching can make themselves collapse.

can rush here in one breath, and the locals have not discovered in advance, it

must be a team of less than 100 people, or simply scout riders. Relying on

looting the houses and bringing dry food, you can go deep behind enemy lines,

but it is absolutely fantastic to block his large force!

However, it was only a quarter of an hour before Qi Duming noticed something

was wrong.

There are people escaping from the woods on both sides, and the number is

probably more than two thousand. It is definitely not just a detection team!

how can that be?

The distance between the two sides is gradually getting closer, and it is

about a mile in less than a quarter of an hour, and he must make a decision

immediately.

"Let everyone move and continue to evacuate westward! The light cavalry is

responsible for blocking the Jinxia army!"

It is impossible to fight with . The morale of this large unit is already low.

At this time, it is very likely that a rout will occur in the field.

The adjutant stared at the front of the official road with a stunned

expression, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.

Qi Duming turned his head, and his heart sank to the bottom-he saw a row of

dark mechanical beasts in the distance, just like the monsters he saw at

Wangshandu, but the number of these beasts was even greater. a lot of!

They lined up side by side in a row and stepped forward methodically. Although

it was the thinnest "long line in one word", he couldn't even raise the idea

of breaking through the front line in his heart.

All human beings are flesh and blood, how can they contend with this kind of

monster that is a mixture of metal and wood?

What makes Qi Duming's scalp numb is that he also saw a giant fox. The fox is

larger than the organ beast, and with its two tails of different colors, it

has an indescribable sense of oppression.

The horse is like a weak lamb in front of this monster.

"My lord... we are surrounded." The adjutant swallowed and said.

sounds incredible, but it is the case.

A large force of two thousand people went on rampage in Ganzhou without being

noticed, and set up an ambush on their retreat early. It seemed that they had

predicted that it would be impossible for them to stop the force of the river

crossing force.

Qi Duming didn't know what to say for a while.

Is this a cunning strategy? Not really. It's just a simple circumvention and

flanking attack, cutting off its back, and there is only one strategy.

Then why didn't he think of it?

It's like asking why people can't fly.

Because other than flying, he can't think of how the other party did this.

"My lord, it's not good!" Another guard stepped forward and reported, "The

scout reported that the princess troops were found 15 miles behind, and they

are still trying to chase us!"

"Master Qi, choose a weak point to break through!" The adjutant persuaded

loudly, "The enemy has no horses, and may not be able to catch up with Qingqi.

I will be willing to stay and break!"

"No...no...no need anymore." After a long silence, Qi Duming uttered three

non-characters in a row-the moment he said this, he seemed to be ten years old

suddenly. "Let everyone put down their weapons and surrender to Jinxia."

"grown ups-"

"This is an order!" Qi Duming shouted. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

The adjutant stared at him for a long time, then bowed his head deeply,

"Xiaguan...understood."

"By the way, come with a rope again, tie me up, and ** me to the Jinxia

Army." Qi Duming closed his eyes, "I said that the guilt of this battle is all

my fault. You rebel and have merit. Your Royal Highness should I won't

embarrass you any more."

When escaping from Wangshandu before, he heard the phrase "Jinxia

preferentially treats prisoners".

Since there is no chance of winning after the fight, and there is no chance of

a comeback, this may also save the subordinates.

But what embarrassed Qi Duming was that he didn't see the princess or the army

commander as he wanted, and no one could say the generous speech that he had

thought up. Jin Xiajun neither cut off his head to claim credit, nor treated

him differently because he was a general, let alone staged a scene where the

monarch personally untied him.

Like the other soldiers, he was escorted back east, but the Jinxia unit

responsible for guarding only had about 500 people.

The army of thousands of people merged not long ago and those bipedal beasts

seemed to be missing.

They...Don’t they go back to Shenzhou?

Looking at the sparse ** team, Qi Duming suddenly felt an indescribable

chill rising from the soles of his feet.

If these people have the ability to unknowingly outflank Wangshandu's rear,

then they can also use the same method to visit Pingzhendu!

The purpose of the princess is not just for him to enlighten this part of the

Ganzhou army!

She wants more.
