Time is passing by little by little.
Zhou Zhiruo and the others also began to feel nervous.
In today's battle, the Ming Cult was defeated and suffered serious injuries.
Fortunately, Zhang Wuji had just conquered the three provinces of Hexi and had a large strategic depth. Otherwise, after today's battle, the Ming Cult would disappear from this world.
Zhao Min retreated to advance and gave up Jiangnan. Now she has a large army in her hands, and her era has just begun.
…
Countless Ming Cult soldiers have appeared in the sight of Zhou Zhiruo and others.
The day before yesterday, there were still more than 200,000 troops, but now more than half of them have been killed or wounded.
Most of the troops have already rushed through this small valley.
But Zhang Wuji and a few others were still leaving.
Zhu'er asked Zhou Zhiruo nervously, "What should we do, Brother Wuji? He is still fighting with those Yuan soldiers."
Zhou Zhiruo did not answer Zhu'er's words, but looked at Zhao Linger and said: "Sister, I think it's time. If we don't act now, we will lose the best opportunity."
Zhao Linger also nodded: "Yes, this is indeed the best time. The young master has superb cultivation, and the generals under his command also have good skills. The arrows will not hurt them."
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger have reached a consensus, but Zhu'er on the side still said nervously: "Can't we wait a little longer? What if my brother Wuji gets hurt?"
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhu'er coldly and said: "If Zhang Wuji is hurt, I will die with him."
Then, Zhou Zhiruo, with a pale face, raised a large flag with the word "Ming" written on it.
This was the signal they and the people on the opposite hillside had agreed upon in advance.
The moment the big flag with the word "Ming" written on it was raised high, feather arrows poured down from the sky like locusts.
In an instant, hundreds of Yuan soldiers who had no time to react died instantly.
Zhang Wuji and others took advantage of this rare opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the pursuers behind them.
Looking at the hundreds of corpses of soldiers in front of her, Zhao Min quickly made a gesture to stop moving forward.
The more than 100,000 soldiers under her command quickly stopped.
Zhang Wuji looked back and shouted to Zhao Min: "Let's stop here today. If there is a chance, we will fight again in the future."
Zhao Min responded: "Master Zhang, I, the Queen Mother, had a great time today. It seems we will have another chance to drink together in the future."
…
Zhang Wuji turned and left.
Duan Zihao said with regret: "What a pity, the cooked duck flew away."
Zhao Min also sighed helplessly: "Who wouldn't say that? It's a pity to waste this opportunity. If we want to kill Zhang Wuji again in the future, we will have to pay a greater price."
Zhao Min raised her head again and glanced at the hillsides on both sides.
"Zhang Wuji is quite smart. He actually arranged an ambush in a place like this in advance. These two small hills are not too high, but by the time we take them down, Zhang Wuji will probably have returned to Jinyang."
Duan Zihao said disdainfully: "This is just an incompetent method. Thinking of a retreat before the battle is done. This is not what a qualified general should do."
Zhao Min shook her head: "That's not the case. Zhang Wuji was able to unify Hexi with only a few thousand people. This is enough to show that he is very capable. If he is a waste, then wouldn't my value be lowered?"
Duan Zihao quickly said to Zhao Min: "The Queen Mother is scolding me for my words just now."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "General Duan, what you said is not true. We are all family, so it's better to be casual when talking to each other. Besides, I don't mean to blame you."
…
The army led by Zhao Min has been fighting since morning until now, and has suffered heavy casualties. Although the casualties of Duan Zihao's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are not large, they have reached the limit.
After all, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers came from Longcheng. After a hundred-mile journey, they were already exhausted.
…
Zhao Min looked back at the soldiers behind her, then she said to Duan Zihao, "General Duan, let's go back. Zhang Wuji's Mingjiao army has suffered heavy casualties in the past two days, but our casualties are also not small. Our soldiers are almost at their limit. Let the soldiers rest in Longcheng for a few days first. We can talk about the future later..."
…
Zhou Zhiruo was very surprised to see Zhao Min's troops retreating in an orderly manner.
She could never have imagined that Zhao Min, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under her command, would give up just like that.
Before Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger arrived here, Yu Fei had already made a lot of preparations. The things Yu Fei prepared were enough to kill tens of thousands of soldiers.
But now it seems that all the preparations were in vain.
After seeing the ambush, Zhao Min actually chose to withdraw her troops.
…
After seeing Zhao Min retreat, Zhou Zhiruo and others hurriedly ran towards Zhang Wuji.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji was almost at his limit. When he was fighting with Zhao Min and Duan Zihao at the same time, more than a dozen cuts appeared on his body.
Ordinary people can hardly fight against four hands with two fists, let alone people with abilities.
Just by seeing Zhang Wuji's figure, Zhou Zhiruo knew that he was seriously injured.
Several women quickly surrounded Zhang Wuji.
They all asked about Zhang Wuji's injuries in an almost crazy tone.
Zhang Wuji hurriedly said to them: "Don't panic, these are just superficial injuries. I'll let Zhiruo give me a few stitches in a while."
Then he called Yang Xiao and Yu Fei over.
Zhang Wuji said to them, "Uncle Yang, Miss Yu, I'm slightly injured. Although it's not fatal, it needs immediate attention."
"You two, stay here for a while and pay attention to the movements of the Yuan army. Don't let Zhao Min surprise us."
…
After completing the arrangements, Zhang Wuji was helped to a carriage by several of his women.
As expected, all of them wanted to go up, but Zhang Wuji said, "Don't worry, my injuries are not serious, just a few superficial wounds, they can be healed with a little treatment. Zhiruo has experience in this matter, she will help me treat my injuries first, and I will come out to see you in a while."
As he spoke, Zhang Wuji was the first to get on the carriage.
Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhao Linger and the other three, "The carriage is too small. If we all get in, there won't be enough room. This is not the first time that Zhang Wuji has been injured like this, and it's not the first time for me either. I have more experience than you in dealing with such things."
"If anything unexpected happens, I, Zhou Zhiruo, will be at your disposal as the three of you choose."
