The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"The more fierce the enemy's attack, the more the King of Nanyu wants to defeat us. Now we have been fighting for a day and a night, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties. If we retreat even a step, we will lose all our momentum."

Sun Zizai recalled Ye Feng's words in his mind. The first attack was a strong one, the second was weaker, and the third was exhausted. As long as they could continue to withstand Zhao Pengju's charge, it would be time to counterattack.

"But...but, of our 60,000-man army, only 20,000 are left..."

Ge Qing's face flushed red and he couldn't help stamping his feet. His eyes were filled with grief and anger. Due to the continuous battles, there were already dense piles of corpses around him.

"Order from the Lord of the State: General Sun has led the army and has held out for a day and a night. Immediately shrink the formation, retreat fifty feet, and let the enemy in."

At this moment, a messenger holding a battle flag quickly came to Sun Zizai and Ge Qing and issued the order conveyed by Ye Feng.

"Great! Great!"

When Ge Qing heard this, excitement appeared on his face.

Sun Zizai swung the kitchen knife in his hand and killed two enemy soldiers. He quickly came to Ge Qing and said, "Order the entire army to retreat to the rear."

"withdraw!"

Ge Qing did not hesitate. With a command, the soldiers, one by one, were covered in blood. Even though they were retreating, their eyes were filled with ruthless fighting spirit.

No matter who they are, they cannot remain indifferent when seeing their comrades falling one after another. All they want now is to kill the enemy.

Hua Hua Hua...

Seeing Sun Zizai leading the army to retreat, Zhao Huan held a long sword with ecstasy in his eyes: "The enemy is retreating, we should chase them down quickly!"

A deputy general quickly reminded him, "Your Highness, the enemy has fought desperately for a whole day and night, with countless casualties, but they have not been able to retreat even a single step. If they retreat now, I'm afraid there is a trap behind them."

"What do you know? Look at how hurriedly the enemy is retreating. It doesn't look like there is an ambush at all. If we chase them now, it will be a great achievement as long as we capture the enemy general!" After a life-and-death battle, only more than 10,000 troops were left out of Zhao Huan's 30,000 troops. He now just wants to make a contribution so that he can inherit the throne.

"Little prince..."

The deputy general wanted to give him some advice, but was interrupted by Zhao Huan: "If you continue to procrastinate and miss the opportunity to fight, don't blame me for being rude. I will punish you according to military law!"

"As ordered!"

The deputy general shook his head, unable to continue his persuasion, and could only directly convey the order: "The entire army will pursue!"

"Kill!"

More than 10,000 soldiers were already blood-thirsty. When they heard the words that the entire army should attack, each of them was fearless and chased after Sun Zizai.

"General Chen, what should we do? The young prince has already gone to chase the enemy!" When Cha Hai saw the enemy retreating, he was undecided whether to give chase or not, so he came to Chen Guang and asked.

Chen Guang frowned slightly and gritted his teeth: "The young prince is eager to make achievements. The enemy has been deadlocked with us here for a day and a night. If they retreat like this, they must have some ulterior motive. If he rashly pursues them now, the situation will definitely be bad."

"What should we do? If we don't move, the young prince will be alone and his army will be destroyed. I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to the prince."

Cha Hai knew very well that no matter how useless Zhao Huan was, he was still the future heir to the King of Nanyu designated by Zhao Pengju. If they didn't care about the other party's life or death now, and the King of Nanyu heard about it in the future, he would inevitably feel resentment, and they would be the ones to suffer.

"We have been unable to capture the city after a long time. If we chase them out and encounter an ambush and suffer heavy losses, the situation will be very bad!" Chen Guang's face was gloomy.

Da da da……

At this moment, a series of footsteps were heard. Chen Guang and Cha Hai saw Jiang Peng rushing up behind them. Another 20,000 reinforcements had arrived.

"General Chen, General Cha, are you encountering any difficulties?" Jiang Peng did not expect that as soon as he received Zhao Pengju's order and rushed up with 20,000 soldiers, he found that the enemy was retreating. He hurriedly led the army to Chen Guang and Cha Hai.

"General Jiang, you've come at the right time. We have been fighting the enemy here for a day and a night, with countless casualties. The enemy has gathered its strength and its combat effectiveness is very strong. But it suddenly chose to retreat, and we are afraid there is an ambush behind. Now the young prince has led a large army to chase them out. Should we chase them?" Cha Hai looked at Jiang Peng with helplessness on his face. Even if Zhao Huan wanted to give chase, he should at least communicate with them first.

"Hunte him! The prince has only one heir now. If he dies in the process of hunting, I'm afraid we will all be to blame." Jiang Peng hesitated for a moment and said directly.

"Order the entire army to chase and kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guang had no other choice but to order his entire army to chase and kill Zhao Huan. Now, only more than 10,000 of his 30,000 troops were left.

Of the 20,000 soldiers under Cha Hai's command, only less than 8,000 were left. The three armies together had almost 40,000 troops, and they quickly chased after them.

"Who led the army that just chased us out?" Zhao Pengju stood on the tall battle tower, his eyes slightly narrowed. The enemy army held on for a day and a night, and suddenly retreated without making any investigation. If they were chased out like this and encountered an ambush, wouldn't they suffer heavy losses? If they were beaten back, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Li Deng followed Zhao Pengju and pointed at the flags in the back: "It should be the young prince's army. He is also eager to make achievements."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Pengju's face was full of anger. War is not a joke. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. "Send a message to the king immediately, asking him to stay where he is and not to pursue."

A counselor nearby saw the army chasing after Zhao Huan and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's too late. General Chen and his men saw the young prince chasing after him, so they must be afraid that he would go deep into the enemy territory alone, so they followed him and chased him."

"Damn it!"

Zhao Pengju felt some regret in his heart. If he had not insisted on training his eldest son Zhao Huan, in such a battle situation, neither Zhao Mu, Zhao Chenchen, nor Zhao Hui would have been able to chase and kill them in such a short time.

"Immediately send a message to Xu Qi to lead 20,000 troops to chase them out as quickly as possible. Even if there is an ambush, you must use your superior force to suppress it for me."

Zhao Pengju didn't care about other things. Now that Zhao Huan, Chen Guang and others had already chased after them, he could only make the best of the situation and make up for his mistake.

He still has nearly 100,000 troops under his command. If he sends out 20,000 soldiers now, plus the 50,000 troops in front, he will have nearly 70,000 troops. Even if Ye Feng has an ambush, it is unlikely that he will be defeated.

"As ordered!"

The messenger took the token and quickly conveyed the order.
