“Yes!”
The seven princesses received their orders and said no more in the next second; the matter was already at their necks anyway, so it was clear that whatever critical situation happened next did not matter much.
Even their father had decided to do so, and naturally they had no reason to refuse.
Soon, the two groups of soldiers disappeared into the night in the backyard.
At that moment, less than ten kilometres away from the main city, the reinforcements that had sped all the way from Fierce Blood had been met with a vile ambush and a fierce counter-attack by the enemy.
Although the reinforcements from Fierce Blood had come with 200,000 men, they were already in a hurry, and when they arrived near the main city, they were trapped and had no defences to save them.
It was only when countless enemy troops rushed out of ambush around them that the Pei family general, who was leading the army, felt that the situation was not good.
However, the other side had already prepared for this and before the Pei family’s reinforcements could recover, they sent their men to surround them from all sides.
The Pei family’s reinforcements were in disarray, and the ambushers had more than 100,000 men, so the two fought for only half an hour, and the reinforcements were already scattered into several camps.
“If this continues, I am afraid that in less than an hour, we will be completely scattered and annihilated. The Vice General said sharply to the Commander of Fierce Blood Town, who was next to him, as he resisted.
The general’s brow furrowed as he looked at the four sides of the gate, the troops were in a terrible state and the lieutenant’s words were not far off.
“But the problem is that the main city is already imminent, as the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days is used for a moment, the family head and all the family members are still within the main city, if we do not go to rescue them, this is sorry for us as soldiers, not loyal to the king, and sorry for our wives, concubines and children.”
The generals also felt badly, they had travelled all the way, braving all the hardships, for what purpose?
Now, with the main city right in front of them, how could they say retreat at such a time!
“Commander, I also know that once the main city falls into the hands of the enemy, for my Pei family, it is almost like cutting off our heads, then the Pei family will have no master, and the sphere of influence is bound to be in chaos. But the problem is, commander-in-chief, there is no other way out for us now but to retreat.”
Yes, this, he also knows very well, if retreat, still this large army can still retain at least half, dare not say anything to rise again, but at least after going back can still revive the flag, may be in the future can become some kind of useful force.
This is a big deal, but in a small way, these people are all good brothers who have been with him through thick and thin.
How could he just watch his good brothers die by the sword of the enemy, when they didn’t even have anything to gain?
He was going to die on the battlefield, but he needed to die in the right place.
“Order the troops to resist while slowly withdrawing.” The leader of the army sighed helplessly, at the moment, he had no other better option.
“My subordinates understand.” The partial general led the order and quickly deployed his troops.
A moment later, the entire force began to gather as best they could, then slowly retreated towards the rear.
“The enemy army is retreating, give me pursuit.” The enemy commander simultaneously bellowed.
“Kill!”
All at once, the opponent’s momentum intensified, and countless enemy troops pursued with their swords.
It was just like beating a dog in the water.
The Pei family reinforcements, even under the command of the commander, were already retreating slowly, in order to avoid withdrawing too quickly and causing chaos on their own side.
But they were still defeated and were constantly being pursued, and soldiers were constantly falling.
“Start the second ambush army, they’ve had enough rest and it’s time for them to take the field.” The leader of the enemy army bellowed softly.
In the next second, along with a strange horn sound, countless enemy troops suddenly emerged from both sides of the roadside on the back road where the Pei family’s reinforcements were retreating.
“Oh no, they have an ambush within an ambush, we are surrounded.” The partial general said urgently.
From the very beginning, the battle to fight the reinforcements was no longer simply about knocking out the reinforcements, what they really wanted to do was to completely fight and destroy this supporting army.
“Both Lord Zhu City and Elder Divine Dragon have instructed that the more reinforcements run, the more threatening they are, for you never know when they might stab you.”
“Killing as many of them as you can is the best option to treat yourself well.”
“Kill them for me!”
“Yes!”
With a soft shout from the leader of the enemy generals, the Pei family reinforcements were suddenly plunged into despair ……
