Chapter 322 Faster

As it stands now, only the fifth brother can contend with the sixth brother.

No, maybe not.

Thinking of Wala, the emperor's heart could not calm down.

It was too fast. Even if Wala was a waste, it was impossible for Xiao Siyuan to break into the interior so quickly. What's more, Zhiyu also mentioned that the other two tribes in Mobei would also participate in this battle.

But until now, there was no mention of them in the battle report sent from the front.

The biggest possibility is that this is a trap, deliberately luring the enemy to go deep, the most basic trap.

Even if Xiao Siyuan can't see it, the deputy general beside him should stop him.

...

The deafening sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the ground was shaking slightly.

The soldiers who had thrown away their armor and weapons staggered away, each of them covered in blood, with faces showing panic that could not be concealed.

Xiao Siyuan sat on a tall horse, took the bow and arrow from the deputy general next to him, curled his lips, pulled the bowstring to the full, and shot arrows one by one.

Compared with the Wala people's escape, the faces of the Tianqi soldiers were full of spring breeze and high spirits.

Xiao Siyuan was even more so.

After shooting several people to death in succession, there was not a single arrow left on his body. Xiao Siyuan sighed and threw the bow to the deputy general.

"What a pity."

The soldiers next to him wondered, "Why do you say that? The people of Mobei were beaten and fled in panic. Such a wolf-like scene has never appeared even when Jiang Kangan and Jiang Wenjing led the troops."

The others also echoed.

Xiao Siyuan's vanity swelled even more in the face of these flattering words. He laughed a few times: "Of course it's a pity that their princes were not brought here so that they can meet each other."

The people around him were stunned for a few seconds, and then they laughed even more after they reacted.

Jiang Kangan and Jiang Wenjing were nothing. If his father had let him lead the army earlier, Tianqi would have unified the world by now!

What Mobei and Nanzhu, they no longer exist!

He was proud in his heart, looking at the direction where the Wala soldiers fled in the distance, his eyes were full of determination.

He tightened the reins and turned around. When he turned his head, he saw the worried face of the deputy general.

Xiao Siyuan snorted in dissatisfaction, but said softly: "You can see, there is no conspiracy. Go back to buy time. Let's chop off the head of the King of the Oirat and go back to congratulate my father at the end of the year!"

The deputy general looked worried: "Your Highness, when we marched on our own, the Oirat was defeated again and again. They never had a head-on conflict with us, and every time we fought, their number was far greater than ours..."

Before the deputy general finished speaking, Xiao Siyuan interrupted him impatiently: "Why, deputy general, do you mean that I am using my numbers to bully the minority?"

Deputy general: "???"

"I am terrified, I mean..."

"Alright, alright," Xiao Siyuan waved his hand to interrupt him, and rode past him: "Your worries are unnecessary. If you are really so afraid of death, you don't have to come tonight's operation... Go!"

After he left, the soldiers who flattered Xiao Siyuan rode to the deputy general.

"He won't listen, why bother talking to him."

"He is a prince, even if he loses this battle, he will at most be scolded by the emperor," the deputy general stared at the direction where Xiao Siyuan left, his eyes full of murderous intent: "We can't do that, and I can't let my brothers die with this kind of person!"

The soldiers beside him pursed their lips.

They have all fought in wars and experienced battlefields, so they naturally know how difficult it is to fight.

The battle led by Xiao Siyuan gave them a feeling of ease.

Unprecedented ease.

You know, even in small battles before, it was normal to have hundreds of casualties, but now, let alone hundreds, even dozens have never happened. It was

a glaring trap, and there was no intention of hiding it at all. Xiao Siyuan was determined to get into it...

"Everyone has only one life. I won't stop those who want to follow him to attack Wala City tonight and die," the deputy general said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to die, those who believe in me, follow me back to the border."

Everyone's expression was a little shaken.

"Don't worry about the emperor blaming you. He has sent me a secret order before. Now that we can't persuade the fifth prince, we can only protect ourselves."

When he said this, everyone nodded.

Xiao Siyuan returned to the barracks, humiliated Bol and Torre, and fell asleep.

He woke up when the night fell and the cold wind blew.

He woke up for a few seconds, then suddenly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, opened the curtains and shouted angrily: "What time is it?!"

The barracks were unusually quiet. Xiao Siyuan shouted several more times, and a soldier hurried over with a trembling voice: "... Your Highness, it's already the hour of the dog."

Xiao Siyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Where are they?! Without me as the commander, did they go to fight on their own?!"

He should have thought of it earlier. What kind of conspiracy is this? It's obvious that they want to make meritorious deeds in private!

And they made up a reason to deceive themselves!

The soldier trembled: "No, Your Highness, they, they retreated."

Xiao Siyuan: "???"

His mind was blank, buzzing: "What did you say? Retreat?!"

The soldier trembled and dared not look at him.

He also wanted to follow them. Now there were only two of them in the barracks, and they had taken away all the food and fodder. But one of them had to stay behind to inform Xiao Siyuan, so he had to stay behind.

"Your Highness... Now there are only two of us, how about..."

Xiao Siyuan knew what he was going to say. He took a few deep breaths and thought frantically about where they should be now. If he chased them now, he should be able to catch up...

Before he could think of anything, the sound of horse hooves and roars came from outside the barracks.

Xiao Siyuan and the soldier were both shocked. Since they had already retreated, the people coming now could only be... the Wala people!

There was no time for them to be shocked. The two of them jumped on their horses at the same time and galloped away in the opposite direction.

Even on the way to escape, Xiao Siyuan still did not give up and looked back.

The hillside was filled with darkness, several times more than the ones they had fought before. Xiao Siyuan saw the leader imitating his previous behavior, drawing his bow and shooting arrows at them.

Xiao Siyuan was startled and dared not look anymore. He rode his horse desperately with his heart beating like a drum, and the sound of arrows sliding through the air could be heard from time to time.

The two ran desperately, and Xiao Siyuan heard a muffled groan from the soldier next to him. He paused slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he only saw the soldier falling off his horse.

Faster, faster!

This was the only thought in Xiao Siyuan's mind.

The Mobei people were chasing him relentlessly. Xiao Siyuan didn't know how long he had been running. His right arm was pierced by an arrow, but he didn't dare to relax at all. It was not until he saw a bright light in front of him and heard someone shouting that Xiao Siyuan's tense emotions were like a taut string that broke in the middle.
