From the looks of things now, only the fifth brother can compete with the sixth brother.

No, maybe not.

Thinking of the Wala, the emperor's heart could not calm down.

It was too fast. Even if Wala was a waste, there was no way they could let Xiao Siyuan break into their territory so quickly. Moreover, Zhiyu also mentioned that the other two tribes in Mobei would also join the battle.

But until now, there has been no mention of them in the battle reports sent from the front line.

The biggest possibility is that this is a trap, a basic trap deliberately set to lure the enemy deeper.

Even if Xiao Siyuan couldn't see it, the deputy general beside him should have stopped him.

…

The deafening sound of horse hooves came from far away, making the ground tremble slightly.

The soldiers, having discarded their armor and weapons, staggered away, each one covered in blood, their faces revealing unconcealable panic.

Xiao Siyuan sat on a tall horse, took the bow and arrow from the deputy general next to him, curled his lips, pulled the bowstring, and shot arrows one by one.

Compared with the hasty escape of the Oirat people, the faces of the Tianqi soldiers were full of smiles and high spirits.

Xiao Siyuan was even worse.

After shooting several people to death, with no arrows left on his body, Xiao Siyuan sighed and threw the bow to the deputy general.

“What a pity.”

The soldiers nearby were puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, why do you say that? The people of Mobei were forced to flee in panic. Such a miserable scene has never happened even when Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Wenjing were leading the troops."

The others also echoed.

Xiao Siyuan's vanity swelled even more amidst these flattering words. He laughed heartily a few times, "Of course it's a pity that we didn't bring their prince here so they could meet."

The people around were stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter when they realized what was happening.

Jiang Kangan and Jiang Wenjing are nothing. If my father had let him lead the troops earlier, Tianqi would have unified the world by now!

What about Mobei and Nan Gu? They no longer exist!

He was very proud and looked at the direction where the Wala soldiers were fleeing in the distance, his eyes full of determination.

He tightened the reins and turned around. When he turned his head, he saw the worried face of the deputy general.

Xiao Siyuan tutted in dissatisfaction, but his face softened as he said, "You can see there's no conspiracy at all. Let's go back and buy time. We'll chop off the head of the Oirat King and return to congratulate our father at the end of the year!"

The deputy general looked worried. "Your Highness, when we march on our own, the Wala have been repeatedly defeated and never engage in direct conflict with us. Moreover, every time we engage in battle, their numbers are vastly different from ours..."

Before the deputy general finished speaking, Xiao Siyuan interrupted him impatiently: "What, deputy general, do you mean that I am using my numbers to bully the minority?"

Vice Admiral: "???"

"I am terrified. What I mean is..."

"Alright, alright," Xiao Siyuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and rode past him on horseback. "Your worries are unnecessary. If you were truly so afraid of death, you wouldn't have to come for tonight's operation... Go!"

After he left, the soldiers who had flattered Xiao Siyuan rode their horses to the deputy general.

"He won't listen, so why waste your breath on him?"

"He's a prince. Even if he loses this battle, the most he'll get is a scolding from the emperor." The deputy general stared at the direction where Xiao Siyuan left, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "We can't do that. I can't let my brothers get killed following this kind of person!"

The soldiers next to him pursed their lips.

They have all fought in wars and experienced battlefields, so they naturally know how difficult it is to fight.

The battle led by Xiao Siyuan gave them one feeling - ease.

Unprecedented ease.

You have to know that in the past, even in small battles, it was normal for hundreds of people to be killed or injured. However, nowadays, let alone hundreds, there are not even dozens.

It was a blatant trap, with no attempt to conceal it, yet Xiao Siyuan kept trying to get into it...

"We all have only one life. I won't stop anyone who wants to follow him tonight to attack Wala City and die," the deputy general said in a deep voice. "If you don't want to die, and you trust me, then follow me back to the border."

Everyone's expressions were somewhat shaken.

"There's no need to worry about His Majesty blaming us. He previously gave me a secret order. Now that we can't persuade the Fifth Prince, we can only protect ourselves."

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.

Xiao Siyuan returned to the military camp, humiliated Bol and Torre, and then fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up when night fell and a cold wind blew.

He woke up for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, opened the curtains, and shouted angrily, "What time is it?!"

The barracks were unusually quiet. Xiao Siyuan roared several more times before a soldier hurried over, his voice trembling, "...Your Highness, it's already the hour of the night."

Xiao Siyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Where are they?! Without me as their leader, are they going to fight on their own?!"

He should have figured out what kind of conspiracy it was earlier. It was obvious that they wanted to make meritorious deeds in private!

And you even make up a reason to deceive yourself!

The soldier trembled: "No, Your Highness, they, they retreated."

Xiao Siyuan: “???”

His mind was blank and buzzing: "What did you say? Retreat?!"

The soldier trembled and didn't dare to look at him.

He also wanted to go with them. Now there were only two of them left in the military camp, and they had taken away all the food and supplies. But one of them had to stay behind to inform Xiao Siyuan, so he, the unlucky guy, had to stay behind.

"Your Highness... Now there are only two of us left, how about..."

Xiao Siyuan naturally knew what he was going to say. He took a few deep breaths, his mind frantically wondering where they should be now. If he chased them now, he should still be able to catch up...

Before he could figure it out, the sound of horse hooves and roars were heard outside the military camp.

Xiao Siyuan and the soldiers were all shocked. Since they had already retreated, the people coming now could only be... the Wala people!

There was no time for them to be shocked. The two men jumped on their horses at the same time and galloped away in opposite directions.

Even on the way to escape, Xiao Siyuan still did not give up and looked back.

There was a dark mass on the hillside, several times more numerous than the ones they had fought before. Xiao Siyuan saw the leader and imitated him before, drawing his bow and shooting arrows at them one by one.

Xiao Siyuan was shocked and dared not look anymore. His heart was beating like a drum as he rode the horse desperately. From time to time, he could hear the sound of arrows cutting through the air.

The two men were running desperately. Xiao Siyuan heard a muffled groan from the soldier next to him. He paused slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the soldier falling off his horse.

Faster, faster!

This was the only thought in Xiao Siyuan's mind.

The Mobei people were chasing him relentlessly. Xiao Siyuan didn't know how long he had been running. Even though his right arm was pierced by an arrow, he didn't dare to relax at all. It wasn't until he saw a bright light in front of him and heard someone exclaim that Xiao Siyuan's tense emotions were like a taut string that broke in the middle.
