Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

After Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue completed the deployment of the trap, General Song and General Chen took action according to the established plan.

General Chen still arranged his own troops to guard Qingdu City, while General Song led an army of 200,000 and marched towards the Beiliang army’s base.

The soldiers under General Chen who stayed in the city did not slack off either. They beat drums vigorously on the city wall to cheer, and their voices shook the earth. The deafening sound of the drums even reached the Northern Liang army camp.

In addition, these 200,000 troops were divided into two routes, advancing in one direction, waving flags and shouting all the way. Their mighty power was shocking.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Beiliang army camp was tense. Since the food and grass were stolen and the camp was retreated 20 miles, they not only sent more personnel to intensify patrols and alerts, but also sent teams out to search for food supplies.

Faced with the current situation, the Northern Liang army is on high alert and dares not relax at all.

However, it was only a short time after the New Year, and many farmers had little food left for themselves except for the grain seeds that needed to be sown in the fields.

The troops that went to the nearby town to raise food and fodder have not returned yet, and the left general urgently submitted a confidential letter to the court requesting additional food and fodder, but the reply from the Emperor of Northern Liang was: food and fodder are being prepared intensively, and they are asked to hold on for a few more days.

It was easy to say, but it was the soldiers who were starving! The little food they had looted from the surrounding villages was like feeding an elephant with a mosquito leg for an army of 500,000. It was completely ineffective.

Therefore, during this period of time, they had no choice but to dig up wild vegetables around the camp to fill their stomachs.

Even so, more than half of the soldiers had been starving for several days. The army's morale began to waver and became increasingly low...

The people in the military camp were in a panic, and many of them were thinking of deserting.

After all, everyone has parents, wives and children to support. If they die on the battlefield, at least their families can get a pension to get by; but if they starve to death here, it would be a truly unjust death!

However, as soon as someone tried to escape, he was immediately caught back.

What's worse is that in order to make an example of him, General Zuo actually ordered the deserter to be beheaded in public! As a result, the Beiliang soldiers who were originally ready to make a move no longer dared to think of escaping.

Just when everyone was in panic, news suddenly came: the Yuan army was beating drums and shouting, rushing towards their camp in a mighty force!

For a moment, the soldiers were panicked and completely confused. When General Zuo learned about this, he quickly asked, "How many troops are there in the enemy army?" His voice revealed a hint of nervousness and worry.

At this time, night fell and it was as dark as ink. The spies of the Northern Liang Kingdom stared with wide eyes and tried to observe, but they could only vaguely see that the front and the surroundings seemed to be full of Yuan troops. This army was huge in scale and majestic, and the sound of war drums was deafening and resounded through the sky.

"About...more than 400,000 people!" The spy reported the number of people in fear, his voice becoming stammering due to nervousness.

"General, let's withdraw!" a deputy general suggested. After all, the soldiers were starving at the moment. It would be very difficult for two people to attack one enemy in such a state. Moreover, the two sides were equally strong, so there was no way they could continue the battle.

"General, let's retreat! As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. We will come back to take revenge after we have rested and recuperated." Another deputy general echoed.

"Yes, General, let's retreat first!" The other deputy generals echoed and expressed their approval of the withdrawal.

General Zuo was extremely unwilling to give up, but the reality was forcing him to make this decision. He gritted his teeth and fiercely issued an order: "Retreat!"

Following the general's order, the army of Beiliang began to pack up quickly and march lightly. All the equipment and supplies that could be discarded were discarded, just to speed up the march and retreat towards the border of Beiliang. General Zuo was full of resentment and frustration, and secretly vowed that when he could regroup one day, he would definitely return here again to avenge his previous humiliation.

When General Song saw that his goal had been achieved, he followed them calmly, shouting loudly to kill. It seemed that he was chasing them fiercely, but in fact he did not really attack. He just drove these people from Northern Liang Kingdom to flee forward like driving ducks.

However, the soldiers of Beiliang State were completely unaware of this! They only heard that a large number of Yuan State troops were chasing them. In order to survive, they had no choice but to keep running desperately.

Those high-ranking generals had war horses and could run to the front easily, but these ordinary soldiers could only rely on their own legs to move forward step by step. They had not eaten for several days and were already at the critical point of being starving and dizzy. If it were not for their extreme desire to survive, they would probably have no strength to run.

At the same time, Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue had already led a group of soldiers to a high slope a little further away from the trap and quietly set up an ambush there.

Not only that, they also deliberately scattered ten pistol team members around the trap to ensure that no one from Beiliang Kingdom could escape this carefully planned ambush.

At this moment, a soldier with sharp hearing put his ear to the ground and clearly captured the chaotic sound of horse hooves and the disorderly footsteps coming from far away.

"Your Highness, Princess, the Northern Liang army is here." the soldier reported.

"Okay, everyone, pay attention. The people from Beiliang Kingdom are coming. The shooters are ready, and the pistol team is ready. Don't let any enemy escape." Su Luoxue ordered loudly.

"Yes." Everyone answered.

Everyone held their breath and paid full attention to the movement ahead. Slowly, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves. The generals of Beiliang State riding on war horses appeared in everyone's sight first, and then the soldiers of Hei Ya Ya came towards them. However, these soldiers were now exhausted and staggered when they ran.

Riding in the front were General Zuo's two lieutenants, who were riding their war horses and galloping forward desperately.

It’s almost there, it’s almost there, the trap is almost there.

Xuan Moyin, Su Luoxue, An Yi, and more than a thousand soldiers were staring at the horses running in the front. One hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters, the horses of the two deputy generals running in the front fell into the arrow pit as everyone expected, and the sharp bamboo swords pierced the horses and the people's bodies in one go.

The following troops also fell into the pit one after another. They had no time to hold the horses and fell down due to inertia.

At the moment when his horse stepped on empty air, General Zuo cried out "Oh no!" and immediately jumped up and landed on the flat ground between the two traps.
