The seven princesses accepted the order and said nothing more for the next second. Anyway, they had already put the knife on their necks, so no matter what critical situation happened next, it obviously didn't have much to do with it.
Even their father has decided to do this, so they naturally have no reason to refuse.
Soon, the two groups of soldiers disappeared into the night in the backyard.
At this time, less than ten kilometers away from the main city, the reinforcements rushing all the way from Fierce Blood City had already encountered a despicable ambush and a brutal counterattack by the enemy.
Although the reinforcements from Fierce Blood City amounted to 200,000 men and horses, they were originally an army that was moving in a hurry. When they arrived near the main city, they were stranded and depleted, and they were eager to save people without any precautions.
When countless enemy troops rushed out to ambush, the leading general of the Pei family felt that the situation was not good.
However, the other side had already been prepared, and before the Pei family's reinforcements could recover, they sent men and horses to surround them from all directions.
The Pei family's reinforcements were in great disarray, and the ambush army numbered hundreds of thousands of people. The two sides fought, and the contact lasted only half an hour. The reinforcements had been scattered into several camps.
"Reporting to the commander, our soldiers are in chaos. If this continues, I am afraid that in less than an hour, we will be completely dispersed and annihilated. General, please make a decision as soon as possible." The deputy general resisted while rushing to the fierce blood town next to him.
The commander said urgently.
The leading general's brows were furrowed and his eyes were looking in all directions. The troops in each department were indeed in a desperate state, and the words of the deputy general were true to themselves.
"But the problem is that the main city is imminent. The so-called raising an army for a thousand days only lasts for a short time. The head of the family and all his family members are still in the main city. If we don't go to rescue him, we will be sorry for our being soldiers and being unloyal to you.
I’m sorry for my wife, concubines and children.”
The generals also felt very uncomfortable. They were running all the way, not afraid of hardships and dangers. What did they want?
Now, the main city is right in front of us. How can we evacuate at such a moment?
"Commander, I also know that once the main city falls into the enemy's hands, for my Pei family, it is almost like cutting off our heads. At that time, the Pei family will have no owner, and there will be chaos within the sphere of influence. But the problem is, Commander, now we have nothing but
There is no other way to retreat."
Yes, he is also very clear about this. If he retreats, at least half of this army can be retained. He dare not talk about making a comeback, but at least he can regain his strength after going back. Maybe it can become something useful in the future.
force.
This is from a big perspective, but from a small perspective, these people are good brothers who have followed him through life and death.
How could he watch his good brother die miserably at the enemy's knife, and they didn't even gain anything?!
You will die on the battlefield, but you also need a place to die.
"Order the troops to resist while slowly withdrawing." The leading general sighed helplessly. At the moment, he had no other better choice.
"I understand." The general took the order and quickly deployed his troops.
After a while, the entire army began to gather together as hard as possible, and then slowly retreated towards the rear.
"The enemy is about to withdraw, let me pursue you." The enemy commander shouted at the same time.
"kill!"
For a time, the opponent's momentum became stronger, and countless enemy soldiers pursued him with swords.
Beating up a drowned dog is nothing more than that.
As for the Pei family's reinforcements, even under the command of the commander, the army retreated slowly. The purpose was to avoid withdrawing too hastily and causing chaos to one's own side.
But he was always the defeated general. He was constantly being chased and soldiers were constantly falling.
"Activate the second ambush army. They have had enough rest and it's time to take action." The enemy leader shouted softly.
The next second, along with a strange horn sound, on the way back as the Pei family's reinforcements retreated, countless enemy troops suddenly shot out from both sides of the road.
"Oops, they are still ambushing me, and we are surrounded." The general said anxiously.
From the very beginning, the war of support was no longer about simply destroying the support points. What they really wanted to do was to completely destroy the support army.
"City Lord Zhu and Elder Shenlong have given orders that the more reinforcements come, the more threatening they will be, because you never know when they might stab you."
"Killing as many of them as possible is the best way to treat yourself kindly."
"Kill me!"
"yes!"
Following the enemy general's leader's soft drink, the Pei family's reinforcements suddenly fell into despair...
