"Your Highness, the enemy is catching up! What should we do?"

The guard rode behind Tadar, glanced back at the advancing Jin army, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He loudly asked Tadar for directions.

Tadar suffered a severe injury to his right shoulder, with blood dripping down his arm and into his palm, and his lips began to turn pale.

He gripped the reins tightly with his left hand, lowering the horse, swallowed hard, and ordered, "Speed ​​up, back to camp!"

Once we cross the Yunjia River, the soldiers who go back to report will be able to bring back a large force, and we won't have to worry about wiping out the three thousand troops of the Great Jin!

Once the Jin army crosses the Yunjia River, they will pursue them for no more than three miles and ensure they never return!

The speed of the horses of the Great Jin Dynasty could never match that of the steeds of the grasslands, and the distance between them gradually increased. Song Yanqing had no intention of pursuing Tadar into the heart of the grasslands.

Tadar surrounded him with his troops at the foot of the Yanlian Mountains. Regardless of whether he had troops stationed in neighboring areas, crossing the Yunga River was not a consideration for him.

The Tatar camp was large, far beyond the reach of their three thousand men. If they failed to capture Tadar on the other side of the Yunga River, they would have to give up this excellent opportunity.

Horse hooves pounded across the shallows of the Yunga River, traversing its banks. Song Yanqing pulled the reins tight and stopped on this side of the river, watching the Tatars gallop across the grasslands on the opposite bank.

A soldier beside him whispered, "Your Highness, are we not going to give chase?"

If we keep going, we might catch up!

Song Yanqing's ambitions lay elsewhere. They understood that the Tatar prince was not without cunning, and that once they crossed the Yunga River, they would surely encounter a large contingent of Tatar troops waiting for them.

With the pursuers behind him still not crossing the Yunga River, Tadar turned around and glanced at Song Yanqing, who was leading the group. His venomous eyes seemed to wish he could kill him on the spot.

He made a vow in his heart that one day he would cut off Song Yanqing's head to avenge today's humiliation!

On the opposite bank of the river, Song Yanqing tightened the reins, causing his horse to turn around. He shouted, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy! Return to camp immediately!"

No matter how much the soldiers behind them regretted it, it was useless. Military orders could not be disobeyed. The commander-in-chief's order was destiny. They followed closely behind and galloped back.

At the foot of Yanlian Mountain, there were many soldiers who were seriously wounded. Song Yanqing had someone bring Lu Qiqi, who was at the bottom of the cliff, to the mountain.

After Lu Qiqi gave the seriously wounded soldiers a simple first aid and determined that An Shi's injuries were not life-threatening, Song Yanqing ordered Shiwu to lead the soldiers back to camp, and they followed closely behind.

Fifteen didn't know what important matter the Prince of Kangle was talking about, but once the young master spoke, he could only obey.

Song Yanqing instructed him, "Make it look like I've returned to camp. Qin Shiyu knows how to arrange it."

Fifteen accepted the order again, "Yes."

After the army had gone far away, Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi rode their spirited horses across the grasslands to Yunjia River.

The two men, riding tall horses, stood on the banks of the Yunga River, holding tightly to the reins.

Song Yanqing said, "After crossing the Yunga River, we will be in the heart of the grassland. Judging from the direction Tadar fled, the camp is not far from the heart of the grassland."

Lu Qiqi gazed at the lush green meadow in the distance, then looked down at the Yunjia River, which shimmered silver in the sunlight.

She said, "Since we are not far from the Tatars' main camp, and Tadar is now seriously injured, the Tatar camp must be in complete chaos right now."

Let's rest for a bit and wait until it gets dark before we use the light to sneak into the Tatar stronghold.

No sooner had they finished speaking than the two of them, along with their two horses, entered the space.

If the fish in the Yunga River had intelligence, they would surely think they had seen a ghost, watching the two of them suddenly disappear.

Even before Song Yanqing's injuries had fully healed, Lu Qiqi had already told him about her plan to use spatial manipulation to infiltrate the enemy's main camp.

As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king. The original plan was to assassinate the Tatar prince Tadar, who was leading troops to attack the border city, in the Tatar stronghold, and then take all the Tatar horses, cattle and sheep into the space.

With the commander-in-chief dead and food shortages looming, the Tatar army will struggle to gain any traction in the short term. If no one takes over for a long time, the Jin Dynasty army can win without a fight and return to the capital sooner.

An Shi's troop deployment to the aid was unexpected, but it also helped to complete their plan. Now all that was needed was the right opportunity.

As darkness fell, Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing emerged from the space. Like two heroes in the night, they rode their horses across the Yunjia River, splashing countless water droplets beneath their iron hooves.

The two rode horses at breakneck speed. With Song Yanqing leading the way, Lu Qiqi felt at ease following. She was a complete novice when it came to navigating the grasslands, and naturally couldn't compare to Song Yanqing.

Lu Qiqi was the first to spot the distant firelight and called out to warn others.

The sight of distant firelight meant they had found the right direction and located the Tatar stronghold.

This place is not far from the Tatar camp. Although they have space, they have exposed themselves in advance, thus losing the advantage of surprise attack.

Therefore, the two dismounted, and Lu Qiqi put the horses into her spatial storage and quietly scouted towards the enemy camp.

The eldest prince, Tadar, was seriously wounded. Although the soldiers in the camp were somewhat disorganized, the generals who had followed Tadar in battle quickly stabilized the situation.

Not only that, but additional soldiers were also stationed outside the camp to guard against a sudden attack by the Jin Dynasty.

Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing lay prone at the foot of the hill to check the situation and discovered that the camp was surrounded by layers of Tartars.

Song Yanqing lowered his voice and said, "Tadar is seriously injured. The Tartars are probably afraid that our army will not let go of such a good opportunity, so they led their troops to attack the camp overnight."

Lu Qiqi deeply agreed with what Song Yanqing said. She said, "The space does not have the function of teleportation, so you cannot directly hide and sneak into the Tartar camp."

This location is close to the Jin Dynasty, so it must have been the area most heavily guarded by the Tartar army.

We circled the camp, and we could always find a weak point.

Song Yanqing had the same idea. "Tonight is different. If the Tartars want to keep watch, there will always be a time for them to change shifts. That will be the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the enemy lines."

The two lay on the grass, discussing and deliberating, their thoughts perfectly aligned, like comrades who had fought side by side for many years.

Having made up his mind, Song Yanqing got up first, followed closely by Lu Qiqi, and the two of them walked around the enemy camp.

Regardless of the army, the commander's tent is always located at the center, and the Tatars were no exception.

Therefore, Tadar's serious injury today has undoubtedly added considerable difficulties for Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing.

The Tatars also differed from the Jin people. They made a living by herding and lived by the water. Rather than being an army, they were more like soldiers who were conscripted from the strong men of their tribes.

For such a reckless man, one must use clever tactics to deal with him.

Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi circled the edge of the camp until they finally found a place where the Tartars were visibly few in number.

The two found a good spot and prepared to sneak into the enemy camp when the Tartars changed guards!
