Yanmen Pass.

Feng Wuze stood at the city wall.

Looking towards the north worriedly.

It has been more than three days now.

There is still no news about Ning Que.

"Report—"

"There's unusual movement in Shuofang City!"

"The main force is divided into 30,000 troops and marches northward."

"Thirty thousand?!"

Feng Wuzhe's expression suddenly changed.

They are not clear about the details yet.

But he could guess it.

Ning Que’s action must have been exposed.

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom encircled and suppressed them at all costs.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Aren't you going to catch a tongue?"

"Why are even the Shuofang defenders moving?"

The two armies are facing each other, and now it is a matter of life and death.

There were only reinforcements sent to the front line, and I haven't heard of any retreat.

The Liao Kingdom did this, and the only variable was Ning Que!

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

I almost laughed out loud.

He probably guessed it all.

It must be Ning Que who was greedy for credit and exposed his tracks.

How could the Liao people not be tempted when they heard about his whereabouts?

Ning Que is the great king of Ning.

If something happened to him, there would be no need to fight at Yanmen Pass.

It doesn't matter whether Ning Que is alive or dead.

It's like giving Dafeng a hard slap in the face!

Haha... I'll let you take advantage of me!

Is it so easy to go deep into the grassland?

You deserve it for trying to stand out without any ability!

In Gu Yuan's view, Ning Que was already dead.

The moment your tracks are exposed, there's no hope.

The Liao Kingdom will be encircled and annihilated at all costs!

This is just the Shuofang defenders!

A total of 30,000 people were mobilized!

What about the Xubu and Lan families in the rear?

Ning Que only had three thousand elite cavalry.

Even if you give him wings, he can't fly!

"General, send out the troops!"

"We can't just stand by and watch Prince Ning get into trouble."

"yes!"

"The other party is clearly trying to encircle and suppress Prince Ning!"

"No." Gu Yuan jumped out and said quickly, "The current situation is unclear. If we rashly send troops, we may fall into the Liao Kingdom's trap. If there is any change at that time, we will be restricted in every way. The safety of Prince Ning is of course important, but this matter concerns the Northern Expedition and we must not act rashly. General, please think twice!"

"Gu Yuan, I'm the draft master!"

"Are you seeking revenge for your personal grudge and want to harm the prince?"

"If anything happens to you, my lord, I will kill you!"

"If you don't want to save us, just say so and we'll do it ourselves!"

"I was only speaking the truth." Facing the scolding, Gu Yuan shrugged nonchalantly. "This time, I led the troops at the request of Prince Ning himself. Now that his identity has been exposed and he's trapped on the grassland, it's his own fault, no one else's fault. If saving him means the Northern Expedition fails, I wonder if you can shoulder the responsibility?"

"Fuck you!"

"I'm going to beat you to death first, you bastard!"

“That’s enough!”

Feng Wuze frowned and scolded, "With a powerful enemy at the door, how can we start a fight among our own people? Gu Yuan is right. The siege equipment is not ready yet, so it is not appropriate to start a war. But you are also right. We cannot watch Prince Ning being besieged."

"What does the General mean?"

"You will each lead 30,000 troops. Set up a battle formation and create the illusion of an assault. Force the Liao main force to return for reinforcements, giving General Ning a fighting chance. As for whether he can return... that depends on his ability."

"promise!"

All the generals bowed at the same time.

That's all they can do!

…

…

"kill!"

Blood gushed out.

Ning Que put away the gun with one hand.

Wiped the blood off his face.

The sound of fighting on the grassland was deafening.

They had been running for a full day.

As the sun sets, blood dyes the yellow sand red.

War horses stood by, wagging their tails.

Their owner lay in a pool of blood.

Ning Que was breathing heavily.

The carefully crafted black armor was covered with knife marks.

Even someone as strong as him was out of breath.

They ran all day without stopping for a moment.

I don’t know how many Liao cavalry we encountered.

I just kept killing and running.

The Xubu army was pursuing them from behind.

They really couldn't rest.

Hundreds of war horses died in the fight!

Shen Qinghe said nothing, but stepped forward and wiped the blood from Ning Que's forehead. There was no strategy to speak of in this situation; it was all about willpower.

Ning Que, as the commander-in-chief, always led the charge. He drew most of the firepower, shielding the soldiers' charge. It's said that since ancient times, the greatest merit has been saving the emperor, but Ning Que did the opposite.

But, it happened to work miraculously!

The soldiers were united as one.

Follow the banner closely and charge forward.

Tie Niu casually changed his lance.

Looking at the sacrificed soldiers, he closed his eyes silently.

They have no time to grieve now.

All you have to do is evacuate as quickly as possible.

"Everyone take a break first."

"It's time to change horses and replenish your strength."

"yes!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun has set now.

But the Liao Kingdom would never stop.

So they still have to run!

Ning Que chewed some dried meat while looking at the map. "We should be here now, in the most fertile northern region. To the back is the royal city, to the east is the Lan clan, and to the south is Shuofang City. In other words, we are now surrounded. We are not facing tens of thousands of cavalry, but the entire Liao Kingdom."

"What do you think?"

"Put yourself in a desperate situation and then you can survive!"
