You Broke Off the Engagement with This Prince—So Why Are You Crying?

Qin Qingxue had ambitions higher than the sky. She used Li Ye to become the first female general of the Great Yuan Empire.

After returning triumphantly, she didn’t hesitate for a second before...

Chapter 409 The Enemy Divides

After the general finished speaking, he immediately called his men and led 50,000 elite cavalry to gallop away.

As soon as the Barbarian King made the arrangements, the Khitan and Jin Khans came looking for him anxiously.

"We can't continue pursuing them. We must retreat immediately."

Upon hearing this, the Barbarian King was almost vomited blood because of his two stupid teammates.

“We can surround Li Ye, the Sixth Prince of Dayuan, right away.

How can we withdraw our troops at this time?

It is impossible to completely blockade the grassland with just our troops.

Why retreat at this time?

Don’t you want to defeat Li Ye?”

"Of course we want to catch him, but if we delay any longer, I'm afraid all the herders in our country will be slaughtered.

Without the nomadic people, what good is our army?" the Jin Khan said angrily.

"What do you mean by that?"

"We just received news that another large army has invaded our two countries and is slaughtering our tribes everywhere.

"This army has no fewer than 80,000 men. Without the main force, the tribes alone will be unable to resist." said the Khitan Khan.

"This is a rebellion! This is truly a rebellion! Dayuan actually dared to attack the grasslands. Who gave them the courage?"

The barbarian Khan was furious.

"It was because of our defeat that Dayuan was able to obtain enough war horses.

Their army only massacred tribes and did not fight with our regular army at all.

Besides, apart from the regular army, the other garrison troops simply did not have enough shields to resist. Even in a head-on battle, they were no match for them.

Although we were about to catch Li Ye, we simply couldn't wait any longer.

If we wait one more day, tens of thousands of people may be massacred. Our country has a small population and cannot bear it at all.

Let the Barbarian King deal with them. We must retreat."

The barbarian king knew very well that even if it were him, he would definitely withdraw his troops to protect his own people first.

If we force them to stay, they might become enemies.

He was angry and helpless, "Tutututut, all of you go away.

One day, Dayuan will become powerful and annihilate us all!"

The Barbarian King sighed deeply.

They felt that this was their last chance. If they couldn't catch Li Ye, their country would probably be destroyed.

Li Ye's actions are often unexpected.

Before this, there had never been a large army that entered the grassland to specifically massacre tribes.

He is definitely the first person in Dayuan who dares to do such a cruel thing.

He didn't consider the impact on future generations or his own reputation at all.

Just a tooth-for-tooth response.

This was what frightened him the most.

If one day the Dayuan army were handed over to him for command, he would definitely dare to massacre all the people of their tribe.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He shouted to his men, "Gather all the troops immediately and capture Li Ye.

If we can't catch him, we'll just have to kill him.

No matter what, he must not be allowed to leave the grassland alive.

The barbarian king was completely furious.

He personally led the army in pursuit.

Li Ye fled with his army and had already fought several battles.

Suddenly I found that the encirclement was not so tight.

He immediately guessed that Zhao Wudi must have received the news and was attacking the grassland tribe with all his strength.

Only in this way can their forces be dispersed and there will be no way to form an encirclement.

After running away for several days in a row, everyone was exhausted.

The enemy chased me desperately, and I could only keep running away.

They will even look for opportunities to fight a fierce battle with the enemy.

There is no chance to rest at all.

Even the war horses were extremely tired and could hardly hold on any longer.

But Li Ye finally saw an opportunity.

I just came across a tribe and killed them, slaughtered the mutton and horse meat, and quickly grilled them.

At this moment, there was no time to expose one's identity.

I have to eat quickly and take a rest.

Even if the enemy chases you, you still have a chance to get rid of it and escape.

Feed all the looted food and grass to the war horses.

The fighting had been non-stop these days, and even the horses had become much thinner.

It's not easy to raise, and the fat has almost been consumed.

Li Ye asked everyone else to go to sleep and went in to keep watch personally.

His cultivation level is relatively high, and he can hold out much longer than ordinary soldiers.

This deeply moved many soldiers.

I feel that even if I have to go through life and death with Li Ye, it is worth it.

Princess Ruyue also wanted to accompany Li Ye, riding a horse alongside him to observe the movements around him.

The place where they stood was relatively high, so they could see very far with the telescope.

You can find the enemy's traces in advance.

Escape immediately and it will be difficult for the enemy to catch up.

If the number of enemies chasing you is small, just attack them head-on and defeat them.

As a result, the barbarian cavalry and tribal people did not dare to intercept them because they did not have enough numerical advantage.

The more concentrated their forces are, the more difficult it will be to form an encirclement.

Li Ye was in great pain, but the enemy was also in good condition.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were constantly chasing them, and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen had to be recruited from the tribes, so a lot of food and grass were consumed.

After a long time of fighting, they couldn't bear it anymore.

Due to lack of water, both of their lips were dry and chapped.

But Princess Ruyue didn't care at all.

I have experienced this kind of hardship before when I fought with King Bingxiang.

"If we continue north, we will enter the territory of Lingshuang Country.

I heard that the soldiers of Lingshuang Country are so aggressive and fierce that even the barbarians dare not provoke them easily.

Plus, they are extremely xenophobic, so we have to be on guard.

At best, we can send someone to negotiate with them and ask them to give us some concessions so that we can pass through."

Li Ye shook his head slightly: "It doesn't make sense at all!

Helping us is equivalent to offending the barbarians. We have no pretense with the Lingshuang Kingdom, so they will not help us.

We will just walk along the border, and when the enemy comes after us, we will find an uninhabited place to rest.

If they come to drive us away, we will retreat immediately.

If the barbarian army also chases in, then we will deal with it.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic."

Princess Ruyue became even more worried after hearing this: "Doing this might give us a chance to escape.

But have you ever thought about how you might have offended Lingshuang Kingdom?

They sent troops to attack Dayuan, what should we do?"

"Let's take it one step at a time! Save your life first and then think about the future."

Li Ye replied.

"You have a point! If we can escape this time, it won't be a waste of time.

At least we got a lot of war horses.

You can also expand the cavalry.

As long as our cavalry is large enough, we won't have to worry about enemy cavalry anymore."

"That's right! Difficulties are only temporary. The more difficult it is now, the more comfortable it will be in the future." Li Ye said with a smile.

At this moment, the barbarian king's temper became more and more violent.

Tribes in the rear were massacred one after another.

In desperation, he could only divide his troops and surround Li Ye on a large scale.

However, since the division of the troops, several of these armies have suffered heavy losses at the hands of Li Ye.

He was so angry that he kept roaring, but there was nothing he could do.
