The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Fortunately, he has escaped, but what he faces now is how to explain to the coach. He originally wanted to ambush, but was backstabbed. He doesn't know how to explain to the coach.

But just when he thought he had escaped, suddenly, a large number of cavalrymen in front of him fell down in an instant. Many cavalrymen actually fell into the trap.

Because they fled so quickly, the charging cavalry lost two to three thousand men in a flash. They were killed inexplicably by the trap.

If the cavalry behind had not discovered the attack in time and slowed down, the casualties would have been even greater.

A look of fear welled up in Tuermu's eyes. He looked around and felt uneasy.

Because they had not set a trap in this place before, but why did they fight for nearly an hour at Zuoguan and were caught in the trap when they were fleeing back?

He knew that they might have been ambushed, but he couldn't understand how the enemy could have predicted that they would escape and sent people to set a trap here.

Even though the trap was really simple, the problem was that it was extremely effective. For them who were fleeing in panic, it was impossible to defend against it, and they didn't even think about defending against it.

Just as he was looking around in surprise, suddenly, countless cavalrymen rushed out from both sides, holding sharp bamboos in their hands and rushing towards them.

Seeing the cavalry holding spiked bamboos, Tuoermu instinctively felt a surge of fear in his heart. Not only him, but the remaining 40,000-plus cavalrymen were all afraid.

The truth is that they were traumatized by the thorny bamboo. Most of the cavalrymen had been hurt by it. Even if they did not lose their lives, the memory of almost dying still scared them!

Therefore, their first reaction was not to fight, but to flee! The panicked Northern Mongolian cavalry instinctively rushed forward.

Even if there is a trap, they don't care. Besides, the trap has been exposed and they can avoid it.

However, after avoiding the traps ahead, they were horrified to find that there was a trap at regular intervals ahead.

Nearly a thousand cavalrymen were lost. When they escaped the second round of traps, they were hit by the third round. Then the fourth round, a total of five rounds of traps. Their cavalrymen lost nearly ten thousand people.

Fortunately, Tuermu asked his men to explore the way, so he did not die in the trap. Otherwise, he didn't know how many times he would have died.

Although they had passed through five traps, the cavalry on both sides encountered the cavalry from Zuoguan. After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Northern Mongolian cavalry had lost their will to fight and just fled at the first blow.

But because of the sweep of the thorny bamboo, the cavalry formation was in chaos again at this moment. Only the nearly 10,000 people in the front escaped the trap.

The remaining 30,000 people were directly divided and killed by the cavalry from Zuoguan.

Tuoermu had no intention of looking back, he just wanted to escape! But before he had escaped far, he found that there were five or six thousand Zuoguan cavalry blocking his way.

The enemy rushed towards him, and Tuoermu ordered his men to charge, while he hid behind them. After a round of collision between the two, Tuoermu took advantage of the gap to escape.

He left behind several thousand cavalrymen, and fled with about 4,000 men.

There was no way to take care of the cavalry behind him, he just hoped to escape back to Youguan as soon as possible and let the commander-in-chief lead his troops to rescue him.

Not long after he escaped, tens of thousands of cavalrymen led by the brothers Chu Chengduan and Chu Chengren came to attack, and the two sides fought a fierce battle.

They killed nearly 30,000 enemies and lost more than 3,000 of their own. The battle lasted for nearly half an hour.

They did not linger in the battle, but instead began to return to Zuoguan at a very fast speed.

After two major battles, our men and horses are exhausted and not suitable for another battle with the Northern Mongolian army.

On the other side, Mu Yuntian was still waiting on the city wall for good news from the front. Tuermu’s ambush troops should have wiped out the reinforcements of Zuoguan, and might even be fighting fiercely in Zuoguan and were about to capture it!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw four or five thousand cavalrymen rushing in from the left pass. They looked extremely embarrassed and as if they had been defeated.

Mu Yuntian was stunned, not knowing what was going on for a moment. That group of people looked like cavalry from Northern Mongolia.

But the Northern Mongolian cavalry were clearly the ones who set the ambush, so why did they escape back in such a manner?

At the same time, Ji Dongkeyou, who was watching the battle on the city wall with a proud look in front of the main tent, was fantasizing that if Zuoguan was captured, he would lead his army straight into the Central Plains and seize Dayan's dream.

But at this moment, a sound of horse hooves was heard, and then cavalry rushed over from the left pass. Looking at the cavalry in their defeated formation, Ji Dongkeyou stood up and looked ahead in astonishment.

It was not until Tuoermu rushed to him, dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground that he recovered from his shock. He stared at Tuoermu blankly, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

"General, Mu Yuntian never joined us. He colluded with Chu Chengfeng of Zuoguan and tricked us into a trap. Almost all of our 100,000 soldiers were killed, and only more than 10,000 escaped."

Tuoermu knelt down and cried angrily. Behind him were a group of generals who had escaped back. They also knelt down on the ground with angry looks on their faces.

After the two battles, in addition to the more than 4,000 people who escaped with Toermu, nearly 10,000 more people escaped back. As for those who did not return, they were all wiped out at Guanzuo.

After listening to Toermu's report, Jidong Keyou shook all over and almost fell to the ground. The guards beside him quickly supported him.

"What did you say..." After finally standing firm, Ji Dongke looked at Tuoermu with bloodshot right eye, his gaze almost devouring Tuoermu alive.

100,000 cavalrymen, how could they lose nearly 90,000 in one go? How could this be possible! They were clearly going to ambush. Why were they killed like this in the end?

"General... Mu Yuntian pretended to surrender. He tricked us. Chu Chengfeng didn't fall for it at all. He just pretended to surrender and then led us to attack. Finally, he set up a strange spike bamboo formation. We suffered heavy losses and almost the entire army was wiped out!"

Tuoermu met Jidong Keyou's gaze. Although he was frightened, he could only bite the bullet and tell him the possibility that he had thought of.

"How dare you, Mu Yuntian, tease me! You are looking for death..." Ji Dongkeyou looked at the city wall of Youguan with anger, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Tuermu, I won't settle your score for now. Bring your men and fight for me on the Youguan city wall. I will kill Mu Yuntian... I will kill him!"

Hearing the angry shout, Tuoermu hurriedly responded respectfully. He had reduced 100,000 cavalrymen to just over 10,000, and should have been beheaded. Jidong Keyou gave him a chance to redeem himself with merit, and he certainly would not let it go.

Not to mention, he was convinced that Mu Yuntian and Chu Chengfeng had set a trap for him. At this moment, he did not hate Chu Chengfeng, but hated Mu Yuntian even more.
