"drive!"
"Hurry up and chase them!"
"We can't let them get away!"
The roar echoed across the grassland.
Tens of thousands of Liao people reined in their horses and galloped away.
This place has passed the Xubu grassland.
And it crossed the sphere of influence of Shuofang County.
It's a no-man's land.
Over the years, the country has been cleared of its walls and only yellow sand remains.
More than ten miles away was a group of Dafeng cavalry.
The large banner symbolizing Prince Ning danced wildly in the wind.
Liang Yili was sound asleep last night when he received news that Xubu's guards had spotted Ning Que and were likely fleeing south.
Liang Yili was extremely furious.
He risked the city's destruction and mobilized his personal guards out of the city.
The purpose was to block Ning Que to death on the grassland.
He had never imagined that Ning Que would give up crossing the river and return in a circuitous manner. The Xubu and Lan clans, with a force of fifty thousand men, had set up a tight net on the other side of the river, even dismantling dozens of wooden bridges.
As a result... Ning Que returned the same way?
All their efforts are in vain!
I'm being made a fool of myself!
The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting!
Liang Yili couldn't sleep either, and directly mobilized tens of thousands of personal guards to go out of the city to encircle and suppress Ning Que. He must block Ning Que in the grassland and never let them return to Yanmen Pass alive!
The emperor has been captured by Dafeng.
Even the golden man used for offering sacrifices to heaven is gone.
This is a slap in the face of the Liao Kingdom!
He shot with both hands!
Blood debt must be washed with blood!
Had Ning Que truly escaped, Liao morale would have suffered a severe blow. After all, Ning Que led only 3,000 men, yet he was able to penetrate the grasslands and ravage Longcheng. He wandered the grasslands for over ten days without incident, with tens of thousands of troops chasing him, yet he managed to return to Yanmen Pass alive.
Just asking, how do we fight this war?
"rush!"
Ning Que ignored the rear at all.
He rushed to the front.
Tie Niu followed closely behind.
Carrying a big banner that symbolizes identity.
Wherever the banner is, there the army is!
As long as the banner does not fall, the army's morale will not be dispersed!
They were about two hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass. Because it was an endless plain, if the war horses galloped at full speed, they could return to Yanmen Pass in three hours.
They fought and plundered along the way, and the warhorses they rode were all the best of the Liao Empire, each one a true dragon. Ning Que had carefully selected them; these horses lacked explosive power and would have been unsuitable for racing. However, each one was plump and strong, making it ideal for long-distance raids.
This is also the reason why Ning Que dared to make a big detour!
You can't outrun the Liao cavalry with just your two legs.
"Haha, come on, you puppies!"
"You guys are only fit to follow Grandpa and eat his ass!"
Tie Niu was extremely happy.
Even if you carry a big banner, you can't stop him from talking.
Ning Que's expression was serious, his nerves still tense. To him, as long as he didn't return to Yanmen alive, it didn't matter.
Moreover, the Liao Kingdom's reaction speed was faster than he had imagined. The Liao people were no fools and had discovered them earlier than he expected. If they hadn't rushed to attack overnight, they would probably have been blocked by them.
Strategically, one can despise the enemy, but tactically, one must also take them seriously. The Liao Kingdom's speed of response proved they were no ragtag group. The reason they were a step behind wasn't because they underestimated the enemy, but rather Ning Que's exceptional performance.
"Shut up and save your energy."
"Run quickly, don't slow down!"
"If the warhorse is exhausted, change horses!"
"yes!"
Tie Niu also put away his smile.
Shen Qinghe spurred his horse to catch up and whispered, "They react very quickly, and their horses are even faster. I've observed carefully, and we've actually slowed down. They've been chasing us desperately, and the distance between us is constantly closing."
"I know."
Ning Que didn't say much.
He was now prepared for the worst.
If it really doesn't work, we can only leave some troops behind to delay.
Of course, this is the only solution.
According to his estimation, it shouldn't be the case.
If nothing unexpected happened, Feng Jie would have returned to Yanmen Pass early. As long as he reported the news truthfully, Feng Wuzhe would undoubtedly be aware of his situation. The best strategy at this point was to advance through Yanmen Pass, deploy a battle formation, and pretend to attack Shuofang, thereby forcing the Shuofang defenders to remain stationary.
This is not about how clever he is.
If you use your brain you will know.
This was the only path Feng Wu Ze could take.
Ning Que stepped on the stirrups and looked into the distance with the help of a telescope. There was still no movement, so he must have not advanced for long.
"Prince Ning, you can't run away!"
A roar suddenly sounded.
A large number of cavalry suddenly appeared from the left and right wings.
The encirclement was quickly expanded from far to near.
"Your Majesty?"
"Ignore them and keep running!"
"Fuck it, we'll cover the rear!"
Chunlun shouted angrily, raising the scimitar in his hand, "Prince, you guys retreat quickly, if you are a real man, stay with us!"
"Shut up!"
Ning Que frowned.
He raised the whip and hit him on the back.
"Live well, everyone!"
“It hasn’t come to that yet!”
"Your Majesty..."
Chunlun immediately wilted.
He wanted to use his life to stop the pursuers.
But I didn't expect Ning Que to refuse directly.
The iron ox carried the big banner and followed closely behind.
"Hey, you kid still want to steal the credit?"
"If it really comes to this, it will be us good family guys who will go first. How can it be your turn?"
