Chapter 291 A Narrow Victory
This is also what the king has always admired about Yang Zangzi, because the king thinks he has trained elite soldiers well.
However, ever since Yu Mengqing led the army to war, the elite troops of the Great Xia Kingdom have become more powerful day by day.
When they fought last year, their troops were not so powerful.
At least, at that time he could easily deal with several elite soldiers at the same time.
But now, he found it extremely difficult to cope with it.
Most importantly, he has been training himself throughout this deep winter.
He originally thought that he had made great progress, but he didn't expect that the Great Xia Kingdom had made even greater progress.
And their entire army is making progress at the same time.
Looking at Yang Kezi who was fighting with Xue Zhonggui not far away, it was obvious that he was gradually losing the upper hand.
Soon, Yang Zangzi realized that the elite soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom were no longer the same army as they were a few years ago.
If you don't retreat now, it won't just be you who will die.
Maybe there is also Yang Muzi.
He has been fighting with the Great Xia Kingdom for many years, and if he retreats now, he can still escape unscathed.
Moreover, if they retreat now, the Great Xia Kingdom will not be able to capture Huangning County in one battle for the time being.
Thinking of this, Yang Zangzi immediately shouted: "Retreat..."
As soon as he said this, the well-trained Man Jingzi nearby immediately surrounded Yang Zangzi and Yang Kezi to protect them.
This was the strategy that Yang Zangzi focused on when training his elite soldiers.
Once the general calls for retreat, no matter how fierce the fighting is, you must let go and protect the general immediately.
Until the general escapes safely.
Because every time this happens, the enemy will try their best to capture the other leader.
Once the leader is killed, the war becomes meaningless.
"We can't let them escape, chase them..." Xue Zhonggui shouted.
I have to say that Yang Kezi reacted very quickly in this regard.
Not only Yang Kezi heard the "retreat" sound, but he himself heard it too.
But even so, before he could react, Yang Kezi had already retreated to the side.
So, how could Xue Zhonggui not be angry?
You know, he was the one who was stabbed twice by Yang Kezi.
Although Yang Kezi was more seriously injured than him, Xue Zhonggui was very dissatisfied that he did not take his life.
Throughout this winter, he continued to train himself according to Yu Mengqing's method.
But even so, he still didn't achieve the effect he wanted.
I guess Yang Kezi didn't train himself during this deep winter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay with me for so long.
Following Xue Zhonggui's shout of "Chase", the army of Daxia advanced a few more miles.
Chu Shiheng then made a 'stop' gesture.
Twenty miles further ahead, you will reach Huangning County.
All the barbarians were stationed there.
According to spies, with the addition of Jing Keqing, they now have 120,000 elite soldiers.
But now he has less than 50,000 elite soldiers, and continuing to chase them would only lead to his death.
Fifty thousand against a hundred and twenty thousand, even the most powerful army has little chance of winning.
And from the battle just now, Chu Shiheng knew that this deep winter barbarian Jingzi naturally did not stop.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to hold out for so long.
I have to say that Yang Zangzi is indeed a strong opponent.
Without Yu Mengqing's special training, he would not have been so confident of winning this war.
After the army stopped, Chu Shiheng said, "Let's camp here tonight."
Xue Zhonggui and Guo Yalun naturally had no objection to this.
Now that the camping location has been determined, it is natural to send someone to deliver a letter back.
"Mengqing, it's been almost a day, and you don't seem worried at all."
As soon as the army went into battle, Guo Peiying couldn't help but find Yu Mengqing to nag her.
At this time, Guo Peiying was still holding Chu Niansi in her arms, but her heart had already flown to the battlefield.
"There's no point in worrying, but if nothing unexpected happens, they should be safe in this battle. However, it's unlikely that they will be able to capture Huangning County."
Yu Mengqing lowered her head and teased Chu Nianjin and Chu Nianhong and replied.
Even though she knew that the three children were no longer dangerous, Yu Mengqing still brought them to the military camp every day.
The main reason is that even if Yu Mengqing doesn't know Jing Keqing, she knows that he is a strong opponent.
The most important thing is that after hearing the news from the spies twice, Yu Mengqing knew that he was a man with far-sightedness.
This forced Yu Mengqing to be on guard, and she had to be on guard all the time.
In comparison, a person with great martial arts skills is not that scary. What is scary is a person with strategy.
At this time, Jing Keqing gave Yu Mengqing the impression that he was not only a martial arts expert, but also a strategic man.
It is extremely difficult to deal with such people.
"I never thought that they could capture Huangning County in this battle. As long as they can return safely, it will be fine." Xue Zhonglan on the side couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing immediately stopped teasing, raised her head, and looked at Xue Zhonglan meaningfully.
"What's wrong? Is my face dirty?" Xue Zhonglan asked curiously.
"No, there's just a question I've always wanted to know." Yu Mengqing was keeping it a secret.
"What's the problem?" Xue Zhonglan asked curiously.
"Who are you worried about?" When asking this question, Yu Mengqing couldn't hide the 'taunting' in her eyes.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xue Zhonglan's face immediately turned red all the way to the back of her neck.
"Just say it, just say it. There are only a few of us here. What's wrong with admitting it? Besides, my brother is a good guy too." Guo Peiying, who was standing by, came to the rescue.
Xue Zhonglan: “…”
Yu Mengqing: "......"
The two speechless people did not say anything else, but the atmosphere did not become awkward.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Guo Peiying insisted.
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing and Xue Zhonglan smiled at each other and neither answered the question.
"Hey, isn't that Huang Chunhua?" Guo Peiying said, pointing at the slender figure not far away.
Following her gaze, Yu Mengqing and Xue Zhonglan saw the anxious figure from behind.
"It's her, what's wrong with her?" Xue Zhonglan asked curiously.
After hearing this, Yu Mengqing immediately understood. Guo Peiying and Xue Zhonglan didn't know why, but she knew it very well.
That’s right, in this battle, not only Chu Shiheng and his men participated.
