Chapter 472 Escape
Upon hearing his words, Qin Jinzhi tilted her head and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Even if you have the Queen Mother's peaches, you will still die here today."
Having said that, he flew off towards Huangfu Nanfeng.
Huangfu Nanfeng was knocked off his horse, but he was still able to catch Qin Jinzhi's sword.
"You've been poisoned by the Azure Heaven Poison. Without the Orchid Grass, you won't live much longer! Don't you want to live?"
Qin Jinzhi's sword intent was fierce, and her laughter was arrogant. "Living longer than you means you haven't lived in vain."
Huangfu Nanfeng's face turned ugly.
The Chu army suddenly discovered that their soldiers had attacked their marshal.
They immediately surrounded them.
Huangfu Nanfeng shouted, "Kill her!"
The Chu soldiers immediately surrounded Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi whistled, and the flowing clouds scattered the crowd.
She mounted her horse.
He tore off his Chu armor, revealing the Jin military uniform.
She raised her arm and wiped the black smear off her face.
"I am Qin Jinzhi, the Left Vanguard of the Zhenbei Army. The Zhenbei Army will fight alongside me to kill the enemy!"
Just then, the sound of approaching troops could be heard not far away.
"General Huo Tingshan of the Cloud Banner has come to lend his assistance!"
Huangfu Nanfeng suddenly looked at Huo Tingshan and his men.
Aside from some dust on them, they were completely unharmed!
How is that possible? They were clearly faked to be dead!
The remains of the corpses on the city wall were not fake.
Qin Jinzhi laughed loudly as she looked at Huangfu Nanfeng.
"Huangfu Nanfeng, I must thank you for giving me that city."
Otherwise, I really wouldn't know where to find so many corpses.
You, the commander of this army, have abandoned the people, and now you don't even spare their corpses, leaving them without a complete body. The people of Chu are truly unfortunate!
The Jin soldiers stopped pretending the moment they saw Huo Tingshan.
Huo Tingshan had given orders that if he didn't appear, everyone should fight and retreat to lure the enemy deeper into their territory.
Do not act impulsively; protect yourself.
We're just waiting for the right moment to slaughter them.
Now is the time for them to fight for their country!
Then came the real battle with the Chu army.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huangfu Nanfeng led his army and quickly rode out of the city.
The Jin army's retreat while fighting was all part of Qin Jinzhi's plan to lure the enemy deeper into their territory.
Huangfu Nanfeng's abdominal wound caused him to fall to the ground on the way, and the Chu army provided cover as he quickly escaped.
Just as they arrived at the city gate.
Outside the city, a powerful figure sat on a tall horse.
He held a halberd and had been waiting with his troops for a long time.
Shouzong raised his halberd and said, "The young master has ordered that we kill all the Chu traitors, leaving none alive!"
"kill!"
With Shouzong taking the lead, his momentum of sweeping across the battlefield was unstoppable.
Shouzong quickly charged toward Huangfu Nanfeng, who was surrounded in the middle.
The Chu army was defeated and routed from both inside and outside.
Shouzong's passion was ignited.
He has been away from this battlefield for nineteen years.
Surrounded in the middle, Huangfu Nanfeng quickly fled.
Shouzong's long halberd flew past.
Huangfu Nanfeng's head was then cut off.
Shou Zong raised his head and shouted, "Huangfu Nanfeng is dead! Brothers, kill all the Chu traitors and avenge the fallen heroes!"
The troops brought by Huangfu Nanfeng were thus annihilated at Fenglao Pass.
Shouzong rode his horse into the city.
He frowned as he found Qin Jinzhi.
"Young Master, Huangfu Nanfeng has run away."
Shouzong lifted the head from his hands.
It wasn't Huangfu Nanfeng's face at all.
When Shouzong picked up the severed head, his corpse was right beside him.
The hand holding the long sword was covered in chapped wounds, clearly belonging to a soldier who had been stationed at the border for a long time, exposed to the elements, and certainly not the hand of a prince.
Qin Jinzhi's men kept chasing after Huangfu Nanfeng.
When was the bag lost?
Qin Jinzhi listened as her subordinates recounted in detail how they had caught up with Huangfu Nanfeng.
She frowned slightly, then said, "He must have switched horses when he fell off. Search the city. Huangfu Nanfeng probably guessed there was an ambush outside the city, so he didn't leave the city at all. He should be hiding in the city now. Search along the area near where he fell off the horse!"
"yes!"
Huo Tingshan rode his horse to Qin Jinzhi's side.
"Xiao Bao, the Mo family's defensive mechanisms are really impressive. Apart from some ringing in our ears, none of the brothers are injured at all."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at Huo Tingshan, "Uncle Huo, you've worked hard. You also have to put on this show to lure Huangfu Nanfeng into the trap."
Huo Tingshan laughed heartily, "This is also my first time fighting a battle like this. Once we find Huangfu Nanfeng, we'll use his head as a sacrifice to conquer the Chu Kingdom, and it will be just around the corner!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded.
In the Battle of Fenglao Pass, Huangfu Nanfeng's entire army was wiped out.
The Jin army suffered very few casualties.
With just a few doubles, they managed to outwit the most intelligent general in the State of Chu.
The soldiers searched the city for two hours.
A soldier rushed in to report.
"Young Master, we discovered a secret passage during our search!"
Qin Jinzhi's expression turned cold. "Find out where this secret passage leads, and then seal it off."
"yes!"
Huo Tingshan looked at Qin Jinzhi's face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Huo Tingshan, "Nanfeng has escaped."
Huo Tingshan was silent for a moment, "This Fenglao Pass was originally the land of Chu. It would not be surprising if the Chu royal family built a few secret passages that no one knew about. It is just that Huangfu Nanfeng has such ability to escape right under our noses."
Qin Jinzhi mounted her horse. "Uncle Huo, I'm leaving Fenglao Pass to you. I'll return to camp immediately to take stock of the troops. Tomorrow, we'll launch a full-scale attack on Chu."
Huo Tingshan nodded. "Be careful in everything."
Qin Jinzhi, along with Shou Zong and the others, immediately rode away.
Shouzong looked at Qin Jinzhi with some concern.
"Young Master, why don't we rest for the night before continuing our journey? I'm afraid your body can't take it!"
Qin Jinzhi said, "I severely injured Huangfu Nanfeng. This time, he suffered a great defeat in his attack on Fenglao Pass. At this time, the morale of the Chu army is in chaos. We must seize this opportunity."
By the time everyone returned to the military camp, it was already broad daylight.
"The vanguard has returned to camp!"
"A great victory at Fenglao Pass!"
"The Chu army that attacked Fenglao Pass has been completely annihilated!"
The veteran generals who heard the noise all came out of their tents.
They watched with great satisfaction as Qin Jinzhi dismounted and came down.
Qin Jinzhi stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"This humble general requests the marshal to immediately take stock of the troops and launch a full-scale attack on Chu!"
Looking at Qin Jinzhi's expression, Qin Ye knew that the time had come.
"The vanguard troops shall rest where they are! After a headcount, they shall march with the main army!"
The veterans' eyes immediately lit up with intense desire.
The day has finally arrived!
Qin Jinzhi's men returned to their camp to rest.
It takes time to take inventory of the troops.
Just as Qin Jinzhi was preparing to return to camp.
Suddenly, they saw a person standing among the mechanical beasts that had already been escorted into the camp.
The man directed the group to move the mechanical beast.
