Therefore, Zhao Lin ordered the soldiers to retreat without further pursuit.
But after he gave the order to retreat, he unexpectedly found that a team of about ten people had rushed out before he called for retreat. The captain of this team happened to be under his command. He had only been in the army for two or three months, and he was promoted to a squadron.
Captain Xue Xiaoqi.
Zhao Lin was shocked. Xue Xiaoqi was young, good at whipping, and very handsome in appearance. However, he was very passionate and a little ignorant.
No, he was half a beat too late, and then he rushed out.
In desperation, Zhao Lin had no choice but to tell Liu Mianbai to take everyone back first while he went to chase Xue Xiaoqi back.
Liu Mingbai and Mo Bei came to the battlefield. Part of their responsibility was to protect Zhao Lin's safety. Naturally, they couldn't leave so easily. However, only he and Zhao Lin pursued them with the vanguard, and the other generals led the soldiers.
They should have just occupied Fangcheng at this moment. It was impossible for the soldiers to go back on their own, so Liu Mobai had no choice but to grit his teeth and let Mo Bei follow Zhao Lin to find someone. He would take the soldiers back first and come back after they were settled.
Meet up with Zhao Lin.
As long as Mobei doesn't lose anyone, nothing will happen.
But just in case...
Liu Mingbai had no choice but to take the people away as soon as possible so that he could come back quickly.
In fact, the Northern Mongolian army was severely damaged and was in no mood to counterattack immediately. It was not too dangerous. However, Zhao Lin insisted on going to find his subordinates, and Liu Mobai had to let him go.
Zhao Lin only brought a dozen people with him. Tonghe Bend is just a small river that can be crossed on horseback. There is a forest on the other side.
At this time, the sky was getting dark and the sight was no longer clear. Zhao Lin was anxious to find someone and did not dare to stop for a moment.
Fortunately for him, after searching for about half an hour, he heard the sound of fighting not far away, and Zhao Lin immediately ran towards the sound.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and the sky tonight is not very good either. It is almost impossible to see the road clearly.
At this time, several people ran towards this side. When they saw it was Zhao Lin, they immediately knelt down and cried: "General Zhao, go and save Captain Xue. He gave way in order to distract the enemy.
We escaped and have been dealing with the enemy for a long time!"
As soon as Zhao Lin heard this, he tightened the reins and left, leaving only one sentence: "Take a few of them back first, I will come back as soon as I go!"
Fortunately, although Mo Bei was a roadblock, his reaction speed was extremely fast and he quickly caught up with Zhao Lin.
Xue Xiaoqi felt that she was going to die.
Her body was covered with scars, and she had no strength at all. But surrounding her were more than a dozen warriors from Northern Mongolia. Today, Northern Mongolia was defeated and retreated all the way north. More than 20 of them were left behind.
I was alone. But I didn't expect that I would bump into a small group of Imperial soldiers.
Naturally, this group of warriors from Northern Mongolia couldn't let go of such a good opportunity. In the months since the war started, this was the first time they had lost so miserably. They had to ask for some interest back no matter what.
Xue Xiaoqi hated his recklessness and could not let the brothers who followed him be buried together, so he lured away the warriors from Northern Mongolia alone and tried his best to kill a few of them, but now he was surrounded and unable to break out.
Xue Xiaoqi's face was covered in blood, and she licked her dry lips unwillingly. However, she didn't know why, but at the moment of death, she was not as scared as she imagined.
These few short months of military life had changed her a lot.
This Xue Xiaoqi is none other than the runaway second princess, Huangfu Xuerou.
