The Invincible Sixth Prince

As the army began to disintegrate, Alec fled in panic.

However, before he ran far, he ran into Li Gu who was leading his troops to fight everywhere.

The people led by Li Gu were all vanguards who had been trained by Shen Kuan for almost a year, and each of them had strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

Soon, everyone around Alec was killed.

Alec was also captured alive by Li Gu and his troops.

As Alec's main flag fell, the enemy troops, which had already been defeated, had no intention of resisting. Almost everyone fled in panic and had no intention of resisting at all.

Jia Yao promptly withdrew the pursuing troops and decisively ordered: "Pass the order down, clean up the battlefield immediately! There are no lightly wounded and prisoners, only seriously wounded!"

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly went to deliver the order.

The Daqian soldiers held their breath and faithfully carried out Jia Yao's orders.

As for the enemy's lightly wounded soldiers and prisoners, they would stab them once or twice in the legs.

Not lethal, but enough to render the enemy powerless and prevent them from recovering for several months or even a year.

As for wound infection or death from excessive bleeding, they did not take it into consideration.

Soon, screams were heard one after another on the battlefield.

"Madam Jiayao, this man is the enemy's commander, Alec!"

At this time, Li Gu, covered in blood, came to Jia Yao with the captured Alec.

"There's no time to interrogate him now, knock him out and tie him up first!"

Jia Yao said, and ordered again: "Take our wounded and retreat!"

"Madam Jiayao, why don't you take off their armor?"

Li Gu asked in surprise.

According to Yun Zheng's previous combat style, they would strip off the enemy's armor and take away what they could. If they couldn't take it away, they would bury it in a hidden place nearby so as not to let the enemy use it again.

"You've thought it through very thoughtfully, but there's no time left!"

Jia Yao shook his head slightly, "Let's set up an ambush in the front first, and wait until the enemy cavalry is dealt with, then do this!"

None of the people around Yun Zheng are good people!

They were made extremely uncomfortable by Yun Zheng's move at the beginning.

At last they had men with horses, but no weapons or armor.

Thinking about the embarrassment he faced in the fight with Yun Zheng a few years ago, Jia Yao couldn't help but sigh.

A few years have passed so quickly!

I never expected that there would be a day when I would have to help Yun Zheng clean up the mess.

As Jia Yao gave the order to withdraw, the army quickly retreated with the wounded.

Jia Yao is very familiar with the terrain in this area.

During the previous battle, he had already thought of the next ambush point.

Under the leadership of Jia Yao, the army immediately marched towards Hukou.

However, after they ran more than ten miles, Jia Yao led his troops back from the other side to a place about six or seven miles away from the battlefield, and ordered the soldiers to take the time to rest.

While they were resting, Sheldon, who learned that the rear army had been attacked, also accelerated his return journey.

At this moment, Sheldon was also extremely anxious.

The rear army was attacked by a large-scale cavalry of the enemy and was likely to suffer heavy losses.

"hurry up!"

Sheldon kept urging the army.

When they were still more than ten miles away from Pingji, Sheldon received the news sent back by the spies.

"what?"

Hearing the spy's words, Sheldon's eyes widened in anger, as if he wanted to eat someone.

The rear army was ambushed by a large number of enemy cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

The enemy left many seriously wounded soldiers at the scene.

Almost all of the seriously injured people lost their ability to move, but they were not dead.

The scene was horrific.

The spies have already questioned the seriously injured soldiers, and found out that many of them were injured by the enemy.

Sheldon knew that the enemy deliberately left these seriously injured soldiers to them, hoping that these seriously injured soldiers would become a burden to them!

Damn Daqian people!

I will tear you into pieces!

Sheldon roared madly in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Did the wounded soldiers tell us where the enemy went?"

"The enemy is heading towards the tiger's mouth!"

The spy answered immediately.

jaws of death?

Sheldon's pupils suddenly shrank.

The enemy is going to raid Hukou and burn the food and fodder they have stored there!

Sheldon looked up at the sky.

In less than an hour, it should be completely dark.

Considering the time, it might be too late for them to pursue the enemy now.

There are still five thousand troops in Hukou City.

Although the combat effectiveness of those 5,000 troops is not good, if they defend the city, it would not be realistic for the enemy cavalry to break through Hukou City!

They are now exhausted and it is still unclear whether they can catch up with the enemy.

Even if we catch up, their army probably won't have much fighting power left.

Thinking of this, Sheldon immediately gave an order with a gloomy face: "Pass the order down, the army slows down!"

Under the leadership of Sheldon, five thousand cavalrymen gradually slowed down and moved closer to the battlefield ahead.

Less than half an hour later, Sheldon led his troops to the Shadow Battlefield where there were no enemy troops.

Looking at the tragic scene on the battlefield and listening to the screams one after another, Sheldon's eyes turned red, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his back teeth were almost bitten off.

"General, what should we do?"

The deputy general's eyes were also red, but he didn't know what to do next.

If they had to take care of these seriously injured soldiers, they would definitely not be able to pursue the enemy forces.

But regardless of these seriously injured soldiers, their morale must have been greatly dampened.

After all, the cavalrymen under their command are also human beings!

They would also wonder if their people would abandon them if they were seriously injured one day.

The enemy posed a huge problem for them.

What the deputy general could think of, Sheldon could naturally think of as well.

He is now struggling with his conscience and desires in his heart.

Should we take care of these seriously injured people?

If we consider the entire battle situation, it would be more beneficial for them if these seriously injured soldiers died.

If he was cold-blooded enough, he should have given the order to kill these seriously injured soldiers quickly.

But his reason told him that he must not give such an order.

Otherwise, their morale is likely to collapse and even mutiny may occur!

After a struggle between his conscience and his mind, Sheldon's reason finally overcame his inner impulse. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Order my soldiers to treat the wounded as soon as possible! And choose a place nearby to rest for the night!"

When giving this order, Sheldon wanted to slap himself twice.

He knew that this was an enemy conspiracy, but he still had to do it!

If he encounters this enemy force again, he will definitely crush them to ashes!

Sheldon said viciously in his heart, and ordered the spies to explore in the direction of Hukou to see where the enemy cavalry had gone first, and make further plans tomorrow!

After giving the order, Sheldon dismounted and walked aside, trying to calm himself down...
