There was a crisp sound of horse hoofbeats, followed by Wang Ziyi's voice, which was mixed with urgency and breathlessness.
Wang Dongxu frowned when he heard this, and his heart suddenly tightened. For some reason, whenever he heard Wang Ziyi's voice, he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen or was approaching, so he was particularly resistant to Wang Ziyi's voice, and even
With fear in his heart, he desperately wanted to cut off Wang Ziyi's tongue so that he could not speak, thinking that in this way, nothing troublesome would happen.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Dongxu had a straight face, his voice was very cold, and it had a cold aura, which showed how much he didn't want to pay attention to the prince. The prince raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Dongxu secretly, his cold eyes were full of indifference.
From this, he felt Wang Dongxu's displeasure, and even a hint of impatience.
Even so, he couldn't turn around and leave because the danger was approaching, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the bad things.
"General, there are pursuers behind you."
Wang Ziyi turned to look behind him, pointed his hand behind him, and said nervously.
At the same time, when he was speaking, a look of horror appeared on his face, as if there was something behind him that frightened him, making it impossible for him to calm down.
"Pursuing soldiers?" Wang Dongxu's eyes narrowed and he spoke softly.
After a pause, he said, "Did General Zhennan send someone to chase us?"
Wang Dongxu's voice was a little surprised, but his expression was quite calm. Then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made some determination in his heart, and said with firm eyes, "Don't pay attention to them. We finally got here and there is no way we can go back again."
The further these words went on, the softer the voice became. After all, they left without saying goodbye. Deep down in their hearts, they still felt a little guilty, but compared to surviving, all face and dignity were forgotten.
It is not difficult to see from Wang Dongxu's answer that Wang Dongxu misunderstood. He thought that the pursuers mentioned by the prince were Ling Yun's troops. He mistakenly thought that Ling Yun sent people to call them back to fight against the reckless army together. At the same time, he also made it clear that he would never
The determination to turn back.
"No, no, general, not General Zhennan." When Wang Ziyi heard this, he quickly shook his head and claimed no. Maybe it was because of nervousness and fear that he was a little out of breath for a while, so he couldn't explain clearly what the pursuit of the soldiers was.
who is it.
"Who is that?" Wang Dongxu was stunned, glanced at him lightly, his eyes were very cold, and then for some reason, he suddenly got angry and said, "Zi Yi, can you finish what you are saying in one go?
Halfway through, you want to die, right?"
I didn't want to hear Wang Ziyi speak in the first place, but now Wang Ziyi continued to speak intermittently and hesitantly, which completely angered Wang Dongxu.
Wang Ziyi's body trembled, and he said tremblingly, "General... I said, I'm going to say it, it's the reckless cavalry, and there are the reckless cavalry behind us chasing us."
"What?" When Wang Dongxu heard it at first, his heart was shocked, like a bolt from the blue. The brutality of the reckless army and the scene of killing people without blinking immediately appeared in his mind. His lips turned white, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The sweat was like a stream.
It flowed down the forehead, wetted a few strands of hair on the temples, and stuck to the cheeks.
In addition, my body trembled, my hands and feet became weak, and I accidentally turned my body sideways and almost fell off the horse.
"General, be careful!"
Fortunately, Wang Yalong had quick eyes and quick hands. When he saw that the situation was not right, he jumped off the horse decisively and helped him, thus avoiding the accident.
While holding Wang Dongxu back, Wang Yalong looked directly at Wang Ziyi and asked anxiously, "Wang Ziyi, what's going on? How could there be a reckless army chasing us behind us?"
When the reckless cavalry arrived, not only Wang Dongxu was frightened, but Wang Yalong was also terrified.
In Wang Yalong's mind, if the reckless army pursues them, they should go to Nanle Town as soon as possible. With Ling Yun in Nanle City and nearly 8,000 soldiers at the same time, relying on Nanle City, it is not a problem to defend it for several hours.
Even if Ling Yun is defeated by then, they will be able to distance themselves within these few hours. In this way, even if the reckless army finds traces of their retreat, the distance is too far and they will definitely not send cavalry to pursue them.
But Wang Ziyi's words clearly told him that the movements of the Mang Army were different from what he expected, but no matter how he thought about it, he never expected that the Mang Army cavalry would abandon Nanle Town and come straight towards them.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible, they must have made a mistake..." Wang Yalong murmured to himself, feeling that someone must have made a mistake, his plan would not be wrong, and the Mang army would never abandon Nanle Town.
"General Yalong, I don't know about this or this!" Wang Ziyi replied with a sad face.
How did he know about this kind of thing? It was just the scouts who stayed behind who came to report that the cavalry of the reckless army was coming towards them. Because the situation was urgent and they could encounter the reckless army at any time, he would pursue them as soon as he got the news.
When he came up, what he never expected was that he was scolded by Wang Dongxu as soon as he came up, and he felt very aggrieved.
"Retreat quickly, order the army to retreat quickly, otherwise when the reckless army comes, we will be no match at all." Wang Dongxu calmed down and said immediately.
"Yalong, the top priority is to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late." Wang Dongxu was anxious and afraid. He was thinking about escaping, but he ignored whether he could outrun the reckless army.
"General, you must not run away at this time." At the critical moment, Wang Yalong was able to carry it clearly and spoke out to stop Wang Dongxu's idea of ​​retreating.
"Yalong, why is this? If you don't leave, our army will collide with the Mang army. Then..." Wang Dongxu was very anxious at the moment, and his heart was so anxious that it almost jumped out of his throat, although he did not finish what he said.
, but they all understand what Wang Dongxu means behind it.
"General, if we retreat at this time, our speed will not be as fast as the cavalry of the reckless army. If we are overtaken by then, it will be a dead end."
"Ah?" Wang Dongxu's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell off his horse again.
"What can I do?"
"There is only one way to go." Wang Yalong was silent for a moment and said with a solemn expression.
"Yalong, please tell me, is there any way to get out of our current predicament?" Wang Dongxu asked eagerly. He couldn't wait any longer.
Wang Yalong said coldly, "Return to Nanle Town."
"Ah?" The two of them were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded. They had just left without saying goodbye, which was equivalent to running away. At this time, Wang Yalong proposed to return to Nanle Town.
If they go back, won't they be humiliating themselves?
"Yalong. This" Wang Dongxu stopped talking.
"General, this is the best way and the only way. Our army's position is extremely empty. Without reinforcements, it will not work at all."
"In this way, before the reckless army arrives, we retreat to Nanle Town. Only in this way can we have a chance to survive. General, we can no longer hesitate. As soon as the reckless army catches up, we will completely lose the chance. "Wang Yalong's rapid speech indicates that the enemy does not have much time left for them. Any further hesitation will only waste time.
In this critical moment, time is life, Wang Dongxu cannot help but understand.
Wang Dongxu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "In that case, let's go back..."
After receiving Wang Dongxu's nod, Wang Yalong immediately shouted, "The general has an order. Nanle City is being attacked by the reckless army. The general said that he could not bear to see Daqian's army facing the enemy alone, so the general decided that the army should return immediately." Nan Le, together with the Nan Yi army, blocked the Mang army."
Hearing these words, Wang Dongxu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Yalong in surprise, with admiration on his face.
Afterwards, Wang Dongxu held his head high and accepted these words happily. At the same time, he gave Wang Yalong a thumbs up, "The one who knows me is Yalong!"
"General, that's ridiculous!" Wang Yalong replied with clasped fists.
To be honest, as long as Wang Yalong can say such shameless words, only a shameless person like Wang Dongxu can accept it shamelessly.
If it were another person, he would have put his head on the ground in shame at this time, feeling ashamed, but Wang Dongxu was just the opposite. Not only did he hold his head high and his face calm, but he also had a matter-of-fact look on his face, as if these words were a true reflection of his heart.
As for Wang Ziyi, who did not dare to speak during the whole process, he only felt contempt for this, and even felt sick. If it weren't for Wang Dongxu's pressure, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
But before he could make any move, he was dissatisfied by Wang Dongxu again.
"Wang Ziyi, what are you still doing?"
"General, I'm going down right now!"
The Handan Army returned to Nanle Town again. This time, the speed was not as fast as when they escaped from Nanle City, but faster.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. Nanle City is right in front of us. As long as we hurry up, we can enter the city."
Nanle City was revealed in Wang Dongxu's eyes. While he showed joy, he also urged the soldiers to hurry up.
Because of the two previous incidents, Wang Ziyi's opinion of Wang Dongxu plummeted, and because of what he did, he felt very contemptuous. Now that he heard Wang Dongxu say such things, he felt even more disgusted.
He can ride a horse very fast, but most soldiers can't. How can two feet outrun a four-legged horse? And Wang Dongxu, it doesn't matter if he is a soldier, he is still dissatisfied with the speed of the soldiers, he deserves to die.
Just when Wang Ziyi was thinking wildly, a bad voice came, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.
