Immediately afterwards, she used the freedom of her hands and feet to deliver a powerful elbow strike and knee strike, knocking the two soldiers back.
However, more soldiers rushed forward and surrounded her.
Xu Yuehuai knew she was in dire straits, but she still did not give up the fight. Just then, the sound of hooves rang out, and a cavalry unit charged into the camp.
The leading general, wielding a long spear and clad in iron armor, looked imposing.
He spotted Xu Yuehuai trapped inside and shouted, "Stop!"
However, the soldiers did not stop; they charged straight at Xu Yuehuai, brandishing their swords to kill her.
Xu Yuehuai was filled with fear; her face was pale, and her eyes revealed despair.
However, at this critical moment, the general beside him showed no fear. He rushed towards Xu Yuehuai, trying to save her, while shouting to his men, "Quickly, go save the prince!"
The Great Zhou cavalry immediately rushed to the bedside, intending to take the unconscious Qi Guze away. They knew that only by evacuating as soon as possible could they ensure the safety of Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of Wuling Kingdom swung their swords at the unconscious Qi Guze.
The sword flashed, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
At this critical moment, Xu Yuehuai picked up a dagger from the ground and stood in front of Qi Guze without hesitation.
Her eyes were cold, her face was tense, and she exuded an indomitable courage.
"You won't be able to hurt him!" Xu Yuehua shouted, her voice filled with determination and resolve.
At the same time, the cavalrymen drew their weapons and engaged in fierce fighting with the soldiers of Wuling Kingdom.
Their agility and nimble movements demonstrated the bravery and fighting prowess of the Great Zhou cavalry.
After dealing with several soldiers blocking the way, the generals of the Great Zhou Kingdom quickly arrived to provide support.
Their arrival made the situation clearer, and the soldiers of Wuling began to gradually retreat.
However, the sounds of fighting outside the camp grew louder and louder, clearly indicating that even more enemies were swarming in.
Xu Yuehuai listened to the sounds outside, feeling very worried. She knew that the war was not over yet, and they had to be even more careful to ensure their safety.
Xu Yuehuai and the cavalrymen guarded Qi Guze closely, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.
They have already lost too many comrades and companions in this war; they cannot afford to lose any more.
Time ticked by, and the war continued. Xu Yuehuai and his cavalry waited for a better opportunity, believing that as long as they persevered, victory was assured.
Time is of the essence, and every moment of delay could have unpredictable consequences.
They had only one belief in their hearts: no matter what, they had to get Qi Guze safely away from this dangerous place.
In the battle of blood and fire, everyone fights for their beliefs.
The cavalry of the Great Zhou Kingdom demonstrated their loyalty and bravery, while Xu Yuehuai proved her resilience and fearlessness through her actions.
As time went on, the battle intensified.
Soldiers inside and outside the camp were locked in a fierce battle, the sounds of swords clashing and shouts of battle mingling together to create a magnificent scene.
However, the soldiers of Wuling Kingdom were as fierce as a storm, and the people of Dongsang Kingdom felt that they were no match for this force.
At this critical moment, Bai Yu made a decisive decision.
"Withdraw—!" Bai Yu's command was short and forceful.
Upon hearing this order, the soldiers of Dongsang Kingdom, though showing a hint of bewilderment and reluctance on their faces, quickly began an orderly retreat.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom were shocked when they heard this order.
They understood that the soldiers of Dongsang could retreat back to Dongsang, but if they wanted to return to Da Zhou, they would inevitably have to travel through the treacherous, remote areas of Wuling.
Without the help of the Eastern Sang Kingdom, whether they retreat or not, they may face the threat of death.
Xu Yuehuai realized the seriousness of the situation. After instructing someone to take good care of Qi Guze, she immediately rode her horse towards the location of Bai Yu and the Ghost Doctor.
Along the way, soldiers from the Kingdom of Wuling blocked her path like ghosts.
Xu Yuehuai's eyes were resolute, and the long sword in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
Each swing of the sword was accompanied by a scream, and the soldiers of Wuling fell one after another.
She was like a bolt of lightning, shattering the heavy atmosphere of the battlefield.
"Help me break through! For the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
Xu Yuehuai's shouts echoed across the battlefield, and her figure appeared even taller in the sunlight and smoke.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom immediately cleared a bloody path for her, their hearts filled with loyalty to their country and a desire to survive.
In the blood-red twilight, Xu Yuehuai rode a black warhorse, charging out from the sea of blood and mountains of corpses, galloping towards them.
Her eyes were firm, her expression resolute, as if an indomitable force was driving her.
Bai Yu and the Ghost Doctor watched her quietly, a sense of admiration rising in their hearts.
"Your Highness, should we stop her?" asked the Dongsang soldier beside him with some concern.
Bai Yu gently shook his head, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "No need, let her come over."
He wanted to see what Xu Yuehuai would say that would give her such determination and courage.
Xu Yuehuai moved like lightning, passing through the dense ranks of Dongsang cavalry and stopping steadily in front of Bai Yu.
Her face was pale, but she could not hide her resolute expression.
"Bai Yu, if you retreat today, Wuling will definitely turn its attention to attacking Dongsang after it takes over Da Zhou."
Xu Yuehuai's voice was a little hoarse, but full of strength, "Why don't we join forces and defeat Wuling together!"
Bai Yu remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Xu Yuehuai. He saw the determination and persistence in her eyes, as well as the weariness and scars on her body.
He knew that she was an indomitable woman, a woman who dared to face any difficulties and challenges.
"Your suggestion is interesting," Bai Yu smiled slightly. "But you know our goals are different. You are for the Great Zhou, while I am for Dong Sang. How can we join forces?"
Xu Yuehuai gritted her teeth: "We can temporarily join forces to resist Wuling's invasion. We'll go our separate ways after the war is over."
Bai Yu gently shook his head: "I understand your thoughts, but Dong Sang's interests cannot be easily compromised."
Xu Yuehuai's expression changed, and she was about to speak when she was interrupted by the Ghost Doctor.
"Bai Yu, you're wrong," the Ghost Doctor said calmly. "In this world, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. There are only eternal interests. If you can see this clearly, perhaps you can consider Miss Xu's suggestion."
Bai Yu frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the Ghost Doctor's words. But he didn't immediately refute them; instead, he fell into thought.
He knew perfectly well that the Ghost Doctor's words were not entirely without reason.
