The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Yan Yu and his soldiers were ready, just waiting for Ainuer Xiong'an's men to come out and reap the harvest.

The soldiers with the weakest strength and combat effectiveness walked in the front of the Xirong army, Ainuer Xiong'an and his guards walked in the middle, and the strongest and most capable ace elite walked at the end.

Ainuer Xiong'an, who was still on the road, never thought that he led the army to retreat from Yixiantian, originally wanting to find a way to survive, but he never expected that this way of survival would become a death road that would strangle his throat.

As soon as the Western Rong soldiers showed up, the Yunli soldiers who had been waiting for a long time started a fight with them.

Being caught off guard and at a loss, one can imagine how tragic the fate of the Xirong soldiers was.

Without exception, none of these Xirong soldiers, who served as the vanguard, escaped and were all wiped out.

Qin Gang led his men to count the number of people, and this time they wiped out about two thousand Western Rong soldiers.

After killing people here, they have been resting for most of the day, but Ainuer Xiong'an and his men are still lingering in the narrow passage.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Ainuer Xiong'an's procrastination. The main reason is that he not only brought people but also war horses, which naturally affected his speed of advancement.

Yan Yu looked back at the soldiers who had just experienced a fierce battle. After thinking about it, he ordered them to retreat and rest, and another team of soldiers came to wait for the battle later.

Unexpectedly, this caused everyone's dissatisfaction and complaints. "Major General, you can't be so partial. We didn't participate in the last war, so why are you asking us to rest right at the beginning of this one? What's going on? Are we not born by our biological mothers, but by stepmothers?"

"Yes, that's right, Major General. You have to treat everyone equally. We are all from the Yan family army and are all direct descendants. You can't treat us differently."

"That's right, that's right, our brothers' fighting ability is also not to be underestimated, we are not leaving, we must stay and continue fighting!"

Yan Yu, who was used to this kind of scene in his previous life, did not feel any pressure at all when facing the current situation. He smiled and waved his hand to ask everyone to calm down.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you're the son of a stepmother? I didn't mean anything else by what I said just now. I just felt that everyone had been guarding here for so long and had just fought a big battle. You must have been tired. I want you to have a good rest."

"Human physical strength is limited. We cannot work ourselves to death all the time. I'm letting you rest so you can better devote yourself to the battle."

"Wars are endless. It won't be easy to fight in the future. When we are ready, I will lead you to the west and march straight to the capital of the Western Rong."

"Seventeen years ago, the Marquis of Zhenbei led his army to capture the capital of the Western Rong, forcing the people to surrender. Today, perhaps under the leadership of the general or the Marquis of Zhenbei, we can annihilate the Western Rong and achieve the feat of destroying a nation. Why bother arguing here for a momentary victory?"

Yan Yu's words made everyone's blood boil. Although the Western Rong were defeated and lost their vitality, it did not mean that they had learned to be obedient.

In recent years, Xirong has been instigating other countries to deal with Yunli, resulting in constant wars of all sizes on the border and the people suffering.

If the Western Rong could really be destroyed, then the surrounding countries would be afraid, and no one would dare to invade Yunli's territory or kill and rob Yunli's people at will.

"Okay, let's listen to the Major General and go back to rest. Once we have enough energy, we can win the battle."

"Yes, listen to the Major General. Let's go, let's go, let's go back and rest."

Yan Yu resolved the dispute in an instant, and everyone lined up and left, leaving the main battlefield to their brothers.

Yan Yu glanced at Qin Gang beside him and said, "They all followed orders and left. Why are you still standing here?"

"Why, are you going to disobey military orders and go against me?"

Qin Ganggang wasn't afraid of Yan Yu's threats. He looked into the distance with his head held high and chest puffed out, saying, "I'm the captain of the Major General's personal guard. If you go to rest, I'll rest too. If you don't, I won't rest either. In short, I'll be wherever you are."

Yan Yu smiled helplessly. He understood Qin Gang's intentions. Qin Gang was worried about him and afraid that he might have an accident, so he had to stay by his side to feel at ease.

"Okay, then you can stay. I'm not the one who's tired anyway. As long as you can bear it and you're happy, you can do whatever you want." Yan Yu knew that it was useless to say anything he said. Qin Gang would never choose to leave.

Yan Yu understood best the weight and significance of this sincere loyalty.

It was almost evening when Ainuer Xiong'an brought his men to the exit. The vanguard troops who should have been waiting here were nowhere to be seen, and a faint smell of blood could still be smelled in the air.

The silence all around was filled with a strange feeling that made people irritated and uneasy. Even Ainuer Xiong'an, who was experienced in battle and had boundless courage, could not help but tighten his grip on the sword at his waist.

"Go, send someone to check out what's going on and where our people have gone?" Ainuer Xiong'an instructed the attendants around him, while he himself kept looking around.

Soon someone went out to investigate the situation. When they came out of the exit, they did not see their own people, but the strong smell of blood told them the answer. The expressions of several people were terrified.

"Shall we do it?" Qin Gang clenched the knife in his hand, waiting for Yan Yu's order before rushing out to chop people.

Yan Yu shook his head and said, "Tell them to go back and tell Ainuer Xiong'an the news, so that he won't be caught off guard and get frightened, which will affect his performance."

When it comes to the ability to harm others, Yan Yu dares to say he is the best, and no one here dares to say he is second.

He was holding a knife to kill someone, but he still pretended to be considerate and caring about others. If a person was narrow-minded, he would probably be angry to death at this moment.

"Go, take the things we have prepared over there. Since Zuo Xian Wang is here, we have to give him a big gift first, otherwise people will say that we don't know the rules and etiquette." Everyone was very nervous as the war was about to begin, but only Yan Yu looked relaxed and at ease. He even closed his eyes to rest.

Qin Gang immediately stood up and took his men to carry the bundles of firewood that they had prepared in advance and soaked in tung oil to the exit.

Yan Yu knew very well that if Ainuer Xiong'an could not see his vanguard troops, he would definitely be on high alert, hide inside and refuse to come out easily, or even turn around and go back.

Although Yan Yu had already arranged for her father to bring people to guard the entrance on the other side, Yan Yu still wanted to share more of the burden with his father and reduce Yan Mingde's pressure.

Therefore, he had already ordered people to get a lot of firewood bundles and pour tung oil on them. If these firewood bundles poured with tung oil were set on fire, Ainuer Xiong'an would choose to risk his life and rush out. In this way, Yan Yu would have the opportunity to reap another wave of benefits.

The person who went out to get the news ran to Ainur Xiong'an in a panic, and could hardly speak clearly. "King, King, Your Majesty, outside, outside..."

"Why are you panicking? Calm down and speak slowly." Ainuerxiong'an shouted sternly. He probably knew what was happening outside at this time. What he couldn't figure out was who was guarding outside and why he had to pick on him at this time.

Although he was a defeated general at this time, he still had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. How desperate would those who wanted to deal with him have to be to want to fight him head-on?

Soon he will let that person know that it is not so easy to get the upper hand from him.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Before Ainuer Xiong'an could speak, the people around him lost their patience.

"What are you panicking about!" Ainuer Xiong'an gave them a look, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

Seeing that no one dared to discuss it anymore, Ainuer Xiong'an turned to the few people who had gone out to get information and asked, "What exactly happened outside?"

"In reply to the prince, our people are not waiting outside, and there is a strong smell of blood outside. They are probably killed in the battle." The person who was trying to find out the news was calmed by Ainuer Xiong'an's calm demeanor and was no longer panicked.

Although he had guessed this result, Ainuer Xiong'an still trembled in his heart. There were more than 2,000 people, and they were gone in just a day and a night. It seemed that the opponent was much stronger than he thought.

Ainuer Xiong'an may seem like an impatient person, but in fact he is a very steady and cautious person.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then ordered, "A Song, take a team of personal guards out to explore the route first. Remember to be extremely careful and don't rush into anything."

"Yes, Your Highness." Asong accepted the order and immediately left with his men.

Ainuerxiongan's personal guards were all carefully selected by him and have undergone very rigorous training. Each of them has outstanding abilities and great skills. This is why Ainuerxiongan wants to send them out at this time.

Asong and his personal guards came out of the exit and became extremely alert. However, they walked a long distance from the exit but didn't see anyone.

Just when Asong was confused, Qin Gang appeared with his personal guards. Neither side spoke, but drew their swords and faced each other directly.

When soldiers meet on the battlefield, what matters is absolute strength. The strength of the people led by Asong cannot be underestimated, but the strength of the people led by Qin Gang is even stronger than them. After all, Qin Gang was brought up by Bai Qishan himself. The two teams quickly separated the strengths.

Qin Gang took the opportunity and first subdued Asong, who seemed to be the leader. After Asong was captured, the momentum of the remaining people naturally weakened.

Soon, this team of Ainuer Xiong'an's personal guards was subdued by Qin Gang and his men. Now it is wartime, and keeping these people is not only useless, but will also become a huge burden.

Therefore, Qin Gang ordered these people to be killed without asking Yan Yu for instructions.

Yan Yu threw away the dogtail grass in his hand and stood up. His patience had run out. "No more waiting, light the fire."

Immediately, soldiers rushed down the mountain and set fire to the bundles of firewood, which instantly began to burn. After the bundles of firewood began to burn, they considerately covered the entrance of the cave with a bamboo curtain.

Ainuer Xiong'an, who was waiting for news inside, did not wait for Asong, but instead waited for thick smoke that could choke people to death.

Not to mention the people below, even Ainuer Xiong'an was panicking. He turned around and shouted at the rioting crowd, "Hold steady! Don't panic! The first column will charge out first, and the second column will follow closely. We have hundreds of thousands of troops, so what are we afraid of? Even if there are jackals, tigers, leopards, dragons and tigers outside, we can crush them all if we go out together."

This well-trained army quickly calmed down, obeyed Ainuer Xiong'an's command, and began to rush out in an orderly manner.

As soon as the first column rushed out, they started fighting with the people who had been waiting outside. Then the second column came out, and later even Ainuer Xiong'an came out.

The person in charge of searching for intelligence beside Ainuer Xiong'an changed his expression when he saw Yan Yu. He came up to Ainuer Xiong'an and whispered, "Your Highness, the leading general is Yan Yu."

Ainuerxiong'an felt a panic in his heart, but after calming himself down, he looked up at Yan Yu and was stunned. This Yan Yu, who had defeated him and caused him a great loss, was actually a young man like a weak scholar.

The Yan Yu in front of him and the Yan Yu in Ainuerxiong'an's imagination were too much. For a moment, Ainuerxiong'an found it hard to accept that he was defeated by such a young boy. How embarrassing it was for him.

Looking at Yan Yu fighting with a sword, Ainuer Xiong'an suddenly felt resentful. He could be defeated by someone stronger than him, but he could not accept being defeated by such a young boy.

Ainuer Xiong'an shouted, waved the sword in his hand, and rushed towards Yan Yu.

Yan Yu, who was fighting with someone, felt a strong evil spirit coming towards him. He turned around in a hurry and saw Ainuer Xiong'an rushing towards him with red eyes.

It was too late to dodge at this time. Yan Yu grabbed a Xirong soldier beside him and threw him towards Ainuer Xiong'an. In the blink of an eye, the soldier was cut in half by the sword of Ainuer Xiong'an who was controlled by violence.

Even Yan Yu, who had experienced hundreds of battles and witnessed countless killings in his previous life, was shocked by Ainuer Xiong'an's brutality.

However, Yan Yu reacted quickly, calmed himself down and faced the battle calmly, and managed to catch the sword that Ainuer Xiong'an swung.

This made Ainuer Xiong'an calm down and he no longer dared to underestimate Yan Yu.

Ainuer Xiong'an is known as the number one warrior of Xirong. Not only does he have amazing martial arts skills, he is also born with supernatural powers and infinite strength. There are very few people who can catch his moves, but the thin and scholar-like boy in front of him caught them effortlessly. It seems that his opponent is not as useless and weak as he looks.
