"General, we have to retreat quickly."
"Bai Yu has received news that there are more and more Liao people."
"The signal smoke has been lit."
"The Subu reinforcements will arrive soon."
After a night of fierce fighting, many were wounded. Feng Jie's armor was stained with blood. After tying up the captives, he hurried to alert Ning Que. This victory was sufficient. Before the Liao army could encircle them, it was best to retreat now.
"Where are Tieniu and the others?"
"Hasn't come back yet..."
"Something's wrong!" Ning Que frowned. "According to the time, the vanguard should be back by now. I'm afraid they're surrounded."
"I'll take people to rescue them." Wang Ergou stepped forward and raised his hand, saying, "General, please take your people ahead. I'll catch up with you after I rescue Commander Tie Niu."
"Disaster……"
Feng Jie shook his head.
He has been leading troops for many years and has some experience.
Looking at Ning Que, he said earnestly, "Xiao Ning, make a decisive move now! We've made a great harvest this time, and the most urgent task is to return to Yanmen alive. As long as we return, it will be a great achievement. Tie Niu burned down the Liao Kingdom's granary and died a heroic death. If we split our forces to rescue him, we will most likely be surrounded by them."
"General Feng is right."
This time even Shen Qinghe stood up.
The task of burning the granary was inherently dangerous.
The Liao Kingdom was not stupid either.
A granary like this must be heavily guarded. Seeing the flames rise, the other granaries must be on high alert. Tie Niu only had 200 elite guards, so he was lucky to complete the mission. Even if he died in the heart of Liao, no one would say anything to Ning Que.
In war, there will always be sacrifices.
It is enough to be able to make great contributions!
"General, we're ready to shed blood on the battlefield before we even go." Bai Yu walked over slowly, knelt on one knee and said, "If Tie Niu were here, he would also hope that you would prioritize the greater good. As long as you can survive, all sacrifices will be worth it. General, give the order to break out!"
Are they wrong?
No!
The best thing to do right now is to ignore Tie Niu.
Whether he lives or dies depends on luck.
The main force quickly broke through and retreated.
It is now daybreak.
There are more and more Liao people.
If we don't evacuate now, we'll all die here.
But, should we just give up on Tie Niu like that?
Ning Que looked at the beacon fire in the distance.
Tie Niu was originally from Xiliang.
Later, because of his father, he surrendered to Dafeng.
He was extremely brave in fighting.
Whenever a war breaks out, he must lead the troops.
There are over a hundred wounds of varying sizes on his body!
Loyal and devoted, he always stayed by Ning Que's side.
"You're right."
"Feng Jie!"
"I will be here!"
"You and Bai Yu will each lead 500 soldiers, and break through and return along the same route, carrying the captives and the golden offering to heaven."
"General?!"
Feng Jie looked surprised.
What does Ning Que want to do?
"Father once told me that a general must avoid being soft-hearted. Especially in large-scale military operations, where even a single move can affect the entire body, one must know how to make choices. The current situation is critical, and your plan is the most correct. Sacrifice the 200 men led by Tie Niu and retreat quickly, but..."
Ning Que paused.
"Since ancient times, the greatest achievement has been saving the emperor!"
"But what if I come to rescue you?"
"ah?!"
"Xiao Ning, don't be impulsive!"
Shen Qinghe couldn't help but remind him.
This is not a joke!
The destruction of the Liao people’s ancestral land is a great shame and humiliation!
Will hunt them down at all costs.
Ning Que turned around with a smile.
"Don't say any more!"
"Xiao Ning..." Feng Jie gritted his teeth and sighed, "Well, you lead your men back the way we came and break out. I'll take five hundred men with me to rescue Tie Niu. You've already fought all night, against over a hundred men. You can't get hurt!"
"Cousin, didn't you ask me how the Three Guards of Prince Ning were able to form so quickly and become so effective?" Ning Que smiled as he mounted his horse and continued, "Because I am the soul of the Three Guards. As long as I'm alive, I will never give up on anyone. If I leave like this, the Three Guards will disband."
"General?!"
Bai Yu looked at Ning Que infatuatedly.
At this moment, I just feel my blood boiling.
That’s right, Ning Que is the soul of the Three Guards!
What would happen if he did not help?
Many soldiers will feel dissatisfied.
It no longer has the combat effectiveness of the past.
"Everyone, follow the order!"
"Breaking out from anywhere is not a breakthrough?"
"Cousin, we will cover your evacuation."
"Ergou, bring me my banner!"
"Follow me, charge!"
"promise!"
Wang Ergou's eyes were red and he was trying hard to hold back his tears.
He personally carried the banner and followed closely behind.
Watch them gallop away.
Feng Jie just stared blankly.
That’s right, Tie Niu and his group are expendable.
They have successfully completed their mission.
As a suicide squad, we can still die with a smile on our faces.
After all, it can buy time for the main force.
Whoever leads the troops will sacrifice them.
No one will rescue them.
However, Ning Que wanted to lead the troops to rescue people personally!
Doesn't he know the pros and cons?
No, Ning Que knew everything.
And all of this has been taken into consideration!
He divided his troops into two groups, using himself and the large banner as bait to lure the Liao main force into pursuing them, thus covering Feng Jie's retreat.
Ning Que was fully prepared.
Even if they are trapped in the hinterland, we must let them return victorious!
Feng Jie smiled self-deprecatingly.
No wonder my father thinks so highly of Ning Que.
He would never do such a thing in his life.
