Outside Yanmen Pass.
War horses neighed and yellow sand filled the sky.
The entire military camp was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Feng Wuzhe looked at the Jin man in front of him, his face full of emotion.
"Xiao Ning is really unexpected..."
"Let him get information. He can break through Dragon City."
"Captured the retired emperor Yelu Junda and other nobles."
"They even brought back the Liao Kingdom's golden men used for offering sacrifices to the heavens!"
"The Flying General of Dragon City... that nickname is so fitting. He comes and goes like the wind, as if he had descended from the sky. As the commander-in-chief, he's willing to risk his own life to save others."
Gu Yuan looked ashen.
Looking at the golden man for offering sacrifices to heaven, I feel only deep powerlessness.
Now he only prayed that Ning Que would die on the grassland.
If Ning Que comes back, will there still be a place for him?
Yesterday, Feng Jie led his troops back triumphantly. He explained everything that happened in Longcheng in detail, and then fainted. He hasn't woken up yet.
They attacked for two days and two nights.
No one knows how many war horses died in the race.
They were able to successfully retreat to Yanmen because Ning Que had proactively exposed his position, luring the Liao army into pursuit. It could be said that Ning Que sacrificed himself in exchange for a strategic victory. Of course, the premise was that Ning Que could also return safely.
That’s right, as long as Ning Que can come back.
It doesn't matter even if all the two thousand people he brought with him died.
This achievement was beyond all of their expectations.
Ning Que's courage and insight made them ashamed.
I only brought three thousand people...
Or a long-distance raid of several days and nights.
He actually dared to attack Longcheng? !
After Feng Wuze learned everything, he chuckled self-deprecatingly. He even said that Ning Que was a good deputy general, and that even he, the main general, had to cooperate with him. He seemed to be blaming Ning Que, but anyone could hear the pride in his tone.
After all, Ning Que is his nephew!
So, Feng Wuzhe directly ordered an attack on the city!
That’s right, the order to attack the city was issued internally!
The defenders of Yanmen Pass advanced eighty miles!
All food, fodder and military equipment began to be mobilized!
As long as Shuofang City dared to continue to mobilize troops out of the city, Dafeng would dare to attack the city directly. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and as the commander, he had to seize every opportunity. Feng Wuze didn't even ask for instructions from his superiors. After all, relying on requests for instructions to fight a war would only lead to missed opportunities.
As the main general, he was responsible for this decision!
Of course, this is all Feng Wuzhe can do.
It was impossible for him to send people deep into the grassland.
This is similar to the story of Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather.
The Liao Kingdom might also surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements.
He can only exert extreme pressure in this way.
This forced Shuofang County to stop sending troops.
As for whether he can escape, it depends on Ning Que.
"What did Yelu Junda say?"
"Could you explain anything?"
"No...nothing." Feng Jie looked embarrassed, then smiled bitterly and said, "This old man is a captive, yet he's still so arrogant. He even said we're not his equals, and he won't say anything. He's the Liao Dynasty's retired emperor, and he only admires Prince Ning, who captured him alive. The rest of us have no right to ask him questions, and he won't answer. You can kill us or chop us up as you please."
It's just like a stone from a toilet, smelly and hard!
"That's all."
"He is quite a hero."
Feng Wuzhe did not blame him too much.
With Yelu Junda in hand, he is like a trump card!
"By the way, can Xiao Ning really escape?"
"Of course."
Feng Wuzhe looked far to the north and spoke firmly.
All they can do now is believe in Ning Que!
…
…
"Haha, Your Majesty is showing off this time!"
"They've simply fooled the Liao Kingdom!"
"After risking our lives, we escaped the encirclement."
Northern holiday area.
Tie Niu and others took a rest around the campfire.
Despite the long march of hundreds of miles, everyone was excited and didn't feel tired at all. It was mainly because fighting alongside Ning Que was so exciting. He could accurately predict the enemy's strategies and fool them around.
Ning Que drank the broth and said seriously, "We are only safe now. Essentially, we are still trapped on the grassland. Our supplies are exhausted, and we only have some dried meat left. We have used up all our arrows. If we encounter the enemy later, we can only fight hand-to-hand. Moreover, they will definitely strengthen the defense of the river and even dismantle many wooden bridges. It will be extremely difficult for us to cross the river and return to Yanmen."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's face darkened.
They now have only a thousand or so people left.
There were also many Liao people who were added as supplementary members.
The troops are insufficient and the supplies are exhausted.
Their situation is not so optimistic.
Ning Que didn't mean to suppress morale.
But to make them more awake.
After all, pride comes before a fall!
"So what do you think?"
"If they won't let us cross the river, then we won't." Ning Que smiled. "We'll take a longer route instead of the shorter one, and go through Longcheng in a roundabout way. Taking advantage of the Xubu clan's weak defenses, we'll return to Yanmen Pass via their territory!"
"You mean, go back?"
"Um."
"This idea is indeed very bold..."
Shen Qinghe was stunned.
Who could have thought that Ning Que would do this?
"That's how war works. Especially when you don't have an advantage, you have to be brave enough to break the rules and do things that ordinary people can't do." Ning Que took out a sheepskin map and outlined the direction with charcoal. "Right now, the Lan and Xubu clans are out in full force, and Shuofang County must have sent garrisons as well. We'll pretend to cross the river, creating the illusion of returning south. They'll definitely defend the river to the death. If we return the same way now, we'll encounter even less resistance."
“It’s not easy.”
Shen Qinghe reminded softly.
