The sun is rising.

Ning Que looked at the rising sun in the distance.

Panting, enjoying the rare peace.

But in stark contrast to the beautiful scenery were the corpses scattered all over the ground.

Some were trampled into pulp by war horses.

Some were pierced by arrows.

There are still many broken limbs and arms...

The battle was brutal, the ground stained red with blood. Ning Que had actually been trying to avoid fighting, fearing that his whereabouts might be exposed. But the Liao people were no fools; they were heavily guarded, with spies everywhere.

There is no way to avoid it, so we have to fight!

Fortunately, we finally managed to wipe them out completely.

Ning Que turned around.

There was no joy of victory on Tie Niu and the others' faces.

Now, most people are just numb.

Help your dead comrades close their eyes.

Take away their helmets, weapons or belts.

As for the corpse, forget it.

They were in a difficult situation now, and couldn't bring the bodies back with them. They were lucky enough to be able to take these back and build a cenotaph.

"Dragon City is ahead."

"Continue westward and you'll find the Xubu clan."

"General, should we continue moving forward?"

"Yeah." Ning Que nodded and looked at Chun Lun and asked, "How many people do you have here now?"

"About two hundred people."

"good!"

Ning Que couldn't help but laugh.

Chunlun is a very qualified guide.

He showed no mercy as he chopped down people along the way.

Relying on language, he captured many prisoners.

Now, it's time for them to contribute.

"Tie Niu, Wang Ergou. You all come here too."

"What are your orders, General?"

"You've all seen the current situation. We've been circling back and forth for thousands of miles and no longer have the strength to charge forward. If we encounter a Liao army of more than a thousand men, we'll suffer heavy casualties."

Ning Que told the truth.

They are not superhuman.

I can’t stay awake all day and not feel tired.

Not to mention riding for two days and two nights, how many people can even endure sitting on a train for such a long time?

"We're almost out."

"My idea is to avoid fighting."

"First, put away the banners and flags."

Ning Que looked at Chunlun. "Whether we can return to Yanmen safely depends on you. I need you to pretend to be a Liao centurion and capture us all. If you encounter Liao elite cavalry, tell them you want to escort us to Shuofang Commandery. As for how to say it, it's up to you."

"this……"

Chunlun was stunned.

Is there such an operation?!

No, the key point is that Ning Que is willing to trust him?

As a Liao native, Chunlun understood the feelings of surrendered soldiers all too well. After the Liao conquered the Western Xia, many Western Xia people were incorporated into the army, but they were not given much importance and were often used as cannon fodder. The soldiers also ostracized them, and they had no hope of a good life.

But now...

Ning Que entrusted his life to him!

If he tells on the secret, Ning Que and his gang will have to die!

“Is it too risky?”

Shen Qinghe looked worried.

Ning Que's plan was quite unexpected.

This meant that they were to pretend to be prisoners.

He was escorted in a swagger by Chunlun and his gang.

Then escape from under the noses of the Liao people!

"General, this is too risky!"

"They may not be trustworthy!"

Tie Niu and Wang Ergou hurried forward to dissuade them.

But Ning Que was very determined.

After several days of fighting, if they wanted to escape, they would have done so long ago. If they really wanted to stab us, there was no need to wait until now.

“Don’t employ those you doubt, and don’t doubt those you employ.”

"We only have a little over a thousand people left."

"I can't think of any other way except this."

"General..."

"Follow military orders!"

"promise!"

No one dared to object anymore.

Ning Que had shown extraordinary military talent by bringing them here. It was also because of their trust in Ning Que that they were able to persevere until now.

Ning Que not only wanted to return safely, but also wanted to bring them home alive. Otherwise, he could have continued to divide his forces, letting Tie Niu take his large banner as the main force, while he himself escaped by a small route.

The current situation is that we can no longer fight.

The men and horses are exhausted, and the knives are blunt!

If the fighting continues, there will only be more casualties!

Of course he knew that kindness does not lead to good military command.

But he had no choice.

He didn't want to see Jingyang City all white again.

Do your best to reduce casualties!

"General, are you really willing to trust us?"

"Isn't what I said clear enough?" Ning Que looked at Chun Lun and said seriously, "You can also tell these brothers. As long as they cooperate and help everyone retreat to Yanmen, they will be the main contributors this time. When we return to Yanmen, I will personally recommend their achievements and they will definitely be rewarded handsomely!"

"Don't worry, General!"

Chunlun knelt on one knee.

Make a fist with your right hand and hammer it on the left side of your chest.

This was the way the Liao people took an oath.

Ning Que then smiled and nodded.

Now it’s all about luck!

…

Cross Longcheng and head southwest.

This is a large grassland with fertile grass and water plants.

You can see many cattle and sheep grazing.

There were also some herdsmen from the Xubu clan riding on fine horses,

"Xi Nifeng, stop patrolling."

"It's almost dark, have a drink!"

“No!”

The young man rode on his horse and refused firmly.

He is just an ordinary herdsman.

This is my first time on the battlefield.

Moreover, he asked for this on his own initiative.

Because his father Xi Nilie died at the hands of Dafeng!

He wants revenge!
