A lieutenant lay next to Ximen Duo, pointing at the slowly approaching army and said.
I saw a team of tens of thousands of people marching slowly on the official road.
The leader was riding a black monster, it was Ximen Hao.
The marching team sang the same marching song they had sung countless times. In fact, they were tired of singing it and were looking forward to a new one from His Highness the Crown Prince.
Ximenduo looked at the approaching team and whispered to a messenger:
"Inform everyone that our mission is to contain them. We cannot fight forcefully. As long as we delay their time, we will use long-range weapons for a while."
"yes!"
The messenger took the order and quickly began to convey the order.
"Be prepared and retreat after the fight. Don't fight forcefully."
Ximen Duo said and took out a crossbow.
Ximen Hao also walked forward carelessly while giving instructions to the dozens of armored cavalry beside him.
These people are all former members of the death squads, and they still have unused flash bombs and high-explosive grenades that they received last time.
"Everyone listen to the order, look at my gestures, and throw out all the flash bombs!"
"yes!"
Twenty cavalrymen took orders in low voices.
"Commander!"
"exist!"
"Give me the order. After the enemy launches an attack, the rear team will change to the front team. Don't be chaotic and evacuate quickly."
"As commanded."
As orders were issued one after another, Ximen Hao's team gradually entered the ambush circle.
"Get ready to attack the vanguard and push them back! Let go!"
Ximen Duo gave the order and took the lead in shooting the crossbow.
"Swish swish..."
The overwhelming barrage of bows and crossbows shot down, all targeting the vanguard led by Ximen Hao.
"Pronounce it like a monkey!"
Ximen Hao shouted, then rode Mo Lin and ran backwards.
"Swish swish..."
"Bang bang bang..."
With bursts of white light flashing, a large number of people's eyes were suddenly blinded.
"It's not good! The prince was hit by an arrow! Retreat!"
With a shout, tens of thousands of people neatly changed their formation and retreated quickly.
As for the ambush site, due to the flash bomb, only a few dozen corpses were left on Ximen Hao's side, and he quickly withdrew from the ambush.
"Mad! What the hell is this?"
Simon Duo rubbed his stinging eyes, tears streaming down his face.
Not only him, but many soldiers around him covered their eyes, and some even wailed. The intense white light was simply too uncomfortable.
"Marshal, they have withdrawn, should we pursue them?"
One general asked, rubbing his red eyes.
"What are you chasing after? Have you forgotten our mission? Continue to ambush!"
Simon Duo said angrily.
"But Marshal, I just heard that Ximen Hao was hit by an arrow."
"Hit by an arrow? I'm afraid it's a conspiracy. Keep ambush. Keep attacking when they come!"
Simon Duo will never go out easily. He is outnumbered and outnumbered, and he will not make fun of his own life.
The general had no choice but to accept the order and continue the ambush.
About half an hour later, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by bursts of angry shouts:
"Avenge the prince! Kill him!"
"Revenge for the prince..."
"Boom!"
A group of cavalry rushed up, followed by a large number of soldiers.
"What?! Ximen Hao is dead?"
Ximen Duo couldn't believe his ears. If Ximen Hao was really dead, then they would have won half the battle for the throne.
"Generalissimo! This is a rare opportunity! Ximen Hao is dead, which is a good opportunity for us to destroy them!"
The general stepped forward again and said, his tone full of excitement!
Ximenduo's expression changed, and he always felt that things were not that simple. He ordered:
"Long range attack! Don't act rashly!"
"Swish swish..."
Another burst of crossbow arrows was fired, but this time the attacking soldiers seemed to be victorious and showed no signs of retreating.
Ximenduo still stood still. Even if these people were out of the attack range, he still did not send out troops and continued to waste arrows.
"Soldiers! Run away! The prince is dead! There is no need to fight any longer!"
A general yelled and ran away with his own soldiers.
It didn't matter if one person ran away, but a large number of soldiers still fled, and some even simply threw away their weapons and armor. They really abandoned their armor!
"Grand Marshal! Ximen Hao is really dead! Those Zhendong troops have all fled! Grand Marshal! Why don't you take the opportunity to gather them and replenish our troops?"
The general suggested again and again.
This time Ximen Duo seemed even more hesitant. Although it felt like Ximen Hao's death was a bit sudden, facing an enemy army that had been defeated for thousands of miles, it was a good time to attack.
If the generals over there were to react, there would be no chance.
"Horn! Attack!"
He finally gave the order.
"Duwuwu...duwuwu..."
As a trumpet sounded, the rebels came out of their ambush en masse and began to pursue the defeated army.
After everyone left the ambush and was pursuing the pursuit in excitement, suddenly a horn sounded from the opposite side.
"Duwuwu...duwuwu...duwuwu..."
Three blasts, and in an instant, the morale of the fleeing soldiers soared, and their attributes increased dramatically.
"kill!"
"Wow!"
From the hillsides on both sides, Ximen Hao led his men to appear and quickly charged down.
"No! You've fallen into a trap! Retreat! Don't fight!"
Ximen Duo's expression changed greatly, especially after seeing Ximen Hao, he knew it was a trick and quickly gave the order to retreat.
If he fights hard at this time, he is no match at all, and his father's plan will be ruined.
"Rumble..."
The soldiers who were chasing just now turned around and retreated, while the Zhendong Army who had been crying for their fathers and mothers just now turned around and pursued them one by one. In this reversal, no one was left.
"Hahaha! Ximenduo! Master Hao has the halo of being the protagonist! How can he die so easily? Hahaha! Soldiers! Whoever takes Ximenduo's head will be rewarded with 10,000 gold stones!!!"
Ximen Hao's voice instantly made the soldiers' eyes turn red.
Ten thousand yuan stones, for an ordinary cultivator, would be too much to spend in a lifetime!
For ordinary soldiers, 10,000 Yuanshi can make them rich for three generations!
"Kill! Kill Simon Duo!"
"Come on!"
Stimulated by the Yuan Shi, the soldiers started charging like crazy one by one.
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
Simendo was commanding and retreating, hating the general who had encouraged him before.
Ximen Hao led his group of wolf cubs to kill so many that the rebels could only focus on the head but not the tail, leaving thousands of corpses behind and fled into the mountains and forests.
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Ximen Hao saw that it was almost done and ordered to stop the pursuit.
"Your Highness! Our army is so powerful, why don't we pursue it?"
A Zhendong Army general was puzzled.
Ximen Hao shook his head three meters tall, and the blood stains on it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Don't chase the poor enemy, organize your formation, march slowly, and wait for the enemy to get into your pocket."
Although the general was confused, he still turned his horse's head and issued the order.
