Chapter 444 Raiding Your Hometown
Emperor Xiao Wu was being dragged along by Shen Qingjun and couldn't leave.
He was still worried, so he had no choice but to call out all the guards who were protecting him.
"Go! Protect the Empress and Princess Ping'an."
Swords and blades have no eyes; don't hurt them.
Upon hearing this, the leader of the secret guards simply clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then dispatched half of his men to protect Emperor Xiao Wu.
As for the rest of the people, he took Huangfu Ruoxi and Shen Qingyu with him.
Looking at the remaining half of the guards...
Emperor Xiao Wu glanced at Shen Qingjun, who was still tugging at his sleeve, and felt a little helpless.
They're all so disobedient...
When we get back to Beijing, we'll definitely teach them a lesson...
At this time, the Northern Hu army appeared to be numerous, but the Northern Hu emperor's fate was unknown, and the Right Chancellor was injured.
The entire army was leaderless, and the Northern Hu people were terrified by the fire and bombs.
Now that Changsheng Gong has his army pushing those chariots that can launch fire bombs to chase and bomb them, how can they not be afraid?
The Northern Hu people are brave, but they are not fools.
If it's a face-to-face, close-quarters combat, they certainly won't be afraid.
The problem now is that they were blown away before they could even touch the hem of the clothes of the Dayu soldiers.
How do you play this?
Didn't you see that the vanguard of 100,000 troops had already been beheaded?
They suffered 100,000 casualties, while on the Da Yu side... only some wounded soldiers were carried away.
How are they supposed to fight?
Isn't this tantamount to fighting their true god?
Why bother fighting over Da Yu now? Let's focus on saving our lives first!
The entire Northern Hu army was in a state of collapse.
The remaining less than 300,000 troops suddenly turned around and ran back, plunging the entire battlefield into chaos.
Cavalrymen clashed, warhorses collided, and cowards swung their long-handled swords wildly.
It was absolutely chaotic.
Standing at a distance, Shen Huaichen looked at everything before him in disbelief.
How could a decisive battle planned for so many years end up like this?
How are the historians supposed to write this?!
If it were written according to the facts, future generations would probably regard it as unofficial history!
This battle... exceeded everyone's expectations...
Emperor Xiao Wu felt rather strange as he watched Duke Changsheng lead his army in pursuit of the fleeing Northern Hu people.
Everything seems to be going smoothly.
The only problem is... there seem to be too many Hu people, and everyone is getting too tired from fighting them.
......
Shen Qingyu and Huangfu Ruoxi fought side by side.
Their horses were good; although they set off later, they had already caught up with the vanguard.
Shen Qingyu, wielding a long spear, could almost kill someone with a single shot.
Huangfu Ruoxi was the same, wielding her domineering blade with great force.
The domineering blade meticulously forged for her by the royal forge was exceptionally easy to handle.
"Sister Yu, let's have a contest and see who kills more!" Huangfu Ruoxi said as she swung her domineering sword at the Hu people.
Shen Qingyu nodded immediately.
"Alright! Let's have a contest! The loser has to go back and pour drinks for everyone."
After saying that, the two of them started counting how many people they had killed.
Five! Six! Seven! Eight...
Wait, that doesn't count. I only slashed him, but I didn't kill him, so I'll count as half a kill!
"Continue, nine more..." Shen Qingyu stabbed one after another, becoming more and more excited.
Huangfu Ruoxi was the same; she was counting as she chopped.
The empress looked like she was chopping melons and vegetables.
The female guards who followed were somewhat surprised.
They originally thought that the Empress was just a figurehead leader of their personal guard.
I never expected... that this would actually turn into a real attack involving violence!
They simply couldn't reconcile the image of the empress before them with that of the empress in the harem, who was always accompanied by a large entourage and needed assistance getting in and out of her sedan chair.
When Emperor Xiao Wu's secret guards arrived, they silently joined in the killing.
The empress before them... seems to be no less capable than them!
......
The Northern Hu army has truly been routed.
They had absolutely no power to resist.
Everyone was thinking of one word: escape!
But the more they did this, the faster the Dayu army behind them seemed to catch up.
Chang Shenggong led everyone in a chase, killing as they went, and watched as the Northern Hu army dwindled in number.
By this time, they had already ventured thirty miles into the territory of the Northern Hu.
Looking at the remaining less than 10,000 Northern Hu people, Changsheng Gong suddenly stopped.
"Bring me my bow and arrows!" Chang Shenggong shouted.
The attendant immediately took the bow and arrow that Chang Shenggong had.
He nocked an arrow, aimed, and with a single shot, Chang Sheng Gong shot down the Northern Hu Right Chancellor, who was desperately fleeing on horseback in the distance...
......
In the end, fewer than 10,000 Beihu people returned to their capital.
The people who had just returned to the capital of the Northern Hu hadn't even caught their breath when they heard some terrible news.
Just yesterday, the imperial nobles who remained in the capital were all killed by a tribe that had been hiding for a long time...
Not only did they suffer a crushing defeat at the front, their hometown was also captured!
