Chapter 193 193

Li Jizong led thirty thousand elite soldiers to deploy to meet the enemy. King Gong, Li Mulan and his wife led three thousand crossbowmen in ambush on both sides of Chen Jiagu. Supervisor Wang Sheng and coach Pan Xun ordered ten thousand soldiers to **** the people forward. The man led his army to guard near Chenjiagu, and only after the crossbowmen finished attacking the arrow formation, they went to pick up Li Jizong.

Li Jizong set off yesterday and agreed to retreat to Chenjiagu this morning. However, the army waited for a long time outside the valley, the sun was getting higher and higher, it was almost noon, and no one was seen.

“Did the Liao army retreat and General Li went to pursue it?” Wang Sheng sat on horseback and asked Pan Xun suspiciously.

Pan Xun didn’t know, he called the scout, ready to call the scout to investigate. When the scout was about to take his order, Wang Sheng waved his hand and said, “No, General Li must have won. Let’s catch up with the people quickly, lest the Liao soldiers make a detour and slaughter the unarmed people.”

He is the supervising army and has a greater say than coach Pan Xun.

Pan Xun frowned and said thoughtfully: “The Lord’s side…”

When Wang Sheng heard this, he just sent the scouts waiting to be dispatched to inform Wang Gong and his wife that they would bring back three thousand crossbowmen.

The scout took the order, hurried for a quarter of an hour, rushed to Chen Jiagu, dismounted and climbed the steep wall, and finally saw Wang Gong and his wife. Knowing that the army was leaving, Li Mulan raised her eyebrows and asked the scout coldly: “The coach, the military supervisor and General Li have an appointment first. Now the situation of the battle is unknown, how can the army miss the appointment?”

The scout lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. On one side was the coach supervising the army, and on the other side was the prince and princess. He, he was just a messenger.

“Go back and tell Wang Sheng that no one is allowed to leave unless you can meet General Li!” Prince Gong said with a sullen face. The Eastern Route Army defeated because of Cao Yu’s self-respect of disobedience and non-compliance. He did not expect that Wang Sheng was also on his side. These veterans, all relying on the past several military merits, grew their eyes to the forehead. Up.

The prince was angry, and the scout hurriedly went back to spread the word.

Pan Xun looked at Wang Sheng embarrassedly.

Wang Sheng was actually two years older than Li Jizong, and he was also the veteran of the two dynasties. Before Li Jizong returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wang Sheng also fought against Li Jizong, which was Li Jizong’s defeat. Therefore, Wang Sheng was quite dissatisfied with Li Jizong. Prince Gong respected Li Jizong like his own grandfather. Wang Sheng had already turned his anger. At this time, Prince Gong actually relied on the status of the prince to order him, the supervising army personally appointed by the emperor. If Wang Sheng listened, where could he put his face in the future?

“The Liao soldiers split and attacked, and the people of Youyun cannot afford to lose. In this way, you will continue to guard here with ten thousand elite soldiers, and I will meet the people first.” Wang Sheng grasped the rein and said to Pan Xun aggressively. Pan Xun didn’t want to offend either side, and nodded in response. Wang Sheng bowed his hands to him and divided them into ten thousand soldiers and took them away.

Pan Xun looked at the back of the army and looked back at the other side of Chen Jiagu, only hoping that, as Wang Sheng said, Li Jizong was delayed and he was chasing and defeating the retreating Liao soldiers.

In the middle of the red sun, it gradually shifted to the west, and there was still no movement ahead. Li Mulan didn’t know how many times she had stood on the top of the mountain and looked worriedly into the distance.

“Grandfather has fought for decades and has never been defeated. Don’t worry.” Prince Gong came up from below and said in a low voice to appease.

These words could not give Li Mulan any comfort, just when she wanted to make a smile and perfunctory, the sound of horseshoes finally came from the valley mouth of the valley in the distance. Li Mulan’s heartbeat speeded up, suppressing tension and hiding behind the rock with King Gong. However, after waiting for a while, there was still only the fast horse in his field of vision, and no one was behind.

The distance was getting closer, and he recognized that the person was a Da Zhou soldier. Li Mulan couldn’t help but stand up and asked the people below: “Where is the army?”

Under the valley, the man was covered in blood. When he saw the princess, he slammed his horse, raised his head and shouted: “The princess! Yeluxiong led fifty thousand cavalry. Our outnumbered army was almost wiped out! The old general was besieged by the Liao army. The final general has escaped desperately, the princess will send troops soon, if there is no rescue, it will be too late!”
