The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1478 Retreat

When Langjie received the news that the enemy troops retreating towards Gongbu suddenly changed direction, he felt very sick.

This group of enemy troops suddenly changed direction. Instead of joining another group to encircle He Dan's troops as he had expected, they headed straight for his front army!

Before Langjie could recover, another spy came to report: "General, we found a large number of branches along the enemy's raid route. Those branches have obvious signs of being dragged..."

Branches?

Drag trace?

Langjie was suddenly stunned.

What are you doing dragging branches?

The next moment, Langjie suddenly reacted.

The enemy wanted to create the illusion of a large number of cavalry charging by dragging branches!

Got it!

Fell into a trap!

Lang Jie reacted belatedly and shouted anxiously, "Pass the order down, attack at full speed! Quick!"

The front army is in danger!

The enemy wants to eat up their front troops!

He must now attack at full speed and try to join the front army in the attack...

As he thought about it, Langjie slowly closed his eyes again.

"stop!"

Langjie called out to the messenger who was about to ride away: "Pass the order, the entire army... retreat!"

"what?"

The deputy general looked at Lang Jie in disbelief, "General, are we just going to retreat like this? We're not going to care about the front troops?"

"I can't control them."

Lang Jie shook his head with a bitter look on his face. "Yun Zheng has already seen through our plan and has set us such a big trap! If we try to take care of the front army again, I'm afraid we will lose ourselves..."

The front army is finished!

If they raided now, the front troops would probably have been eaten up by the enemy.

Once the enemy forces meet up, we can immediately turn around and attack these eight thousand people.

The deputy general was unwilling to give up, and gritted his teeth and said: "We can send someone to contact He Dan's troops! Combine the strength of our two divisions, and we will be able to fight the enemy!"

Lang Jie closed his eyes in pain, "Do you believe this?"

Under normal circumstances, let alone He Dan's troops, even if there were only their 8,000 troops, they could definitely fight the enemy.

But now, he didn't dare to fight.

It turned out that he was just like those ordinary soldiers. Whenever he faced Yun Zheng, he would be afraid before the battle even started.

I have overestimated myself after all!

After being asked by Langjie, the deputy general fell silent.

No confidence!

Yes!

Langjie has no confidence, and he doesn't have much confidence at all.

They hadn't even really fought with the enemy yet, but it felt as if their backbones had already been broken by the enemy.

"General, are you afraid of death?"

At this moment, the deputy general suddenly asked.

"Not afraid!"

Lang Jie answered without hesitation: "But I am afraid that my death will be meaningless, that our people will die in vain, but will not change the overall situation of the war..."

“I don’t think about death!”

The deputy general took a deep breath and said, "If everyone is like us, clearly capable of fighting, but afraid of Yun Zheng, the world's number one general, why should we fight this battle? Why not surrender earlier?"

After listening to the deputy general's words, Langjie fell silent.

Yes!

They are clearly capable of fighting!

Just because the enemy's commander was Yun Zheng, he didn't dare to fight.

"So, you still want to fight the enemy?"

Langjie looked at the deputy general with deep eyes.

"Correct!"

The deputy general clenched his fists and said with a deep look in his eyes: "I heard that Yun Zheng went to Shuobei in the past because he wanted to inspire the morale of the Shuobei army with his death, so that the Daqian soldiers in Shuobei would regain the courage to fight Beihuan!"

When Langjie heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He had actually heard of this matter.

However, facts have proved that Yun Zheng did not go to Shuobei to die, but to seize military power!

At this moment, Langjie was struggling with his conscience.

To fight or to retreat?

After a long while, Lang Jie suddenly made up his mind and roared with murderous intent: "Send the order, all troops to attack! Immediately, hurry up and contact He Dan's troops, let He Dan meet up with our troops, kill Yun Zheng, and achieve unprecedented merit!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly took the order and left.

"Today, either Yun Zheng dies or we die!"

Langjie glanced at the deputy general and put aside all the fear in his mind.

At this moment, Langjie's eyes became extremely firm.

Fight!

The worst that can happen is death!

If their death in battle can arouse the courage of the Xiqu soldiers to fight against Daqian, then their death will be worthy!

With this in mind, Langjie immediately led 8,000 cavalry to launch continuous raids along the route that Qin Qihu and his men had taken.

At the same time, Yun Zheng and his team had ended the battle.

The enemy's morale had already collapsed, and as Qin Qihu led his troops in, the enemy completely lost the will to resist.

After Lin Ji led his guards to kill Sonam Tsering, most of the enemy troops chose to surrender.

The few enemy troops who resisted stubbornly were quickly wiped out.

Just as they were cleaning up the battlefield, scouts came hurriedly to report that another group of enemy troops were heading towards them.

Because the enemy attacked at full speed, they were unable to judge the number of enemy troops.

"Well done!"

Qin Qihu grinned, his whole body filled with fighting spirit: "We have just warmed up, and someone else comes to die!"

As he spoke, Qin Qihu excitedly waved the mace in his hand, imagining that he would blow the enemy's main general's head off with one blow.

Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately gave the order: "Pass the order down, take the prisoners, take our wounded and the bodies of the casualties, and retreat immediately!"

"Ah? Retreat... retreat?"

The smile on Qin Qihu's face suddenly froze, "Your Highness, you... gave the wrong order, didn't you?"

retreat?

When their morale was high, the enemy came to die, and they actually retreated?

This is totally unlike Yun Zheng’s fighting style?

"I didn't give the wrong order! Retreat immediately!"

Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "The enemy is holding their breath and is here to fight us! At this time, there is no need for us to fight the enemy head-on! Wait until their breath has dissipated, and then we will fight them slowly!"

As Yun Zheng's order was given, everyone quickly began to retreat.

Yun Zheng called Lin Ji and ordered him, "Find a few wounded soldiers from the enemy army and have them tell the enemy general that I have important matters to attend to in Ganci, so I will spare them for now! I am waiting for him in Ganci, and I hope he will lead his troops to surrender in Ganci. I will definitely reward him with a high position and generous salary!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ji quickly took the order and left.

Qin Qihu took a look at the dead horses and quickly ordered his soldiers: "Hurry up and cut off a few of the horse's legs and take them away!"

Damn it, if they just leave like this, all the meat on these war horses will be left to the enemy.

Pity!

After taking the spoils, Qin Qihu quickly retreated with the main force.

When Langjie led a large army to attack, he saw only corpses all over the ground, and heard the wailing of the wounded and the wailing of injured horses.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Langjie's face was gloomy.

Damn Yunzheng!

Leave all these wounded soldiers to them!

This is clearly intended to make these wounded soldiers a burden to them.

Lang Jie took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Go find a few wounded soldiers and ask about the enemy's situation!"
