After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Before the battle was over, Zhao Tianhao had already dealt with 15,000 remaining troops in a very short time.

Chen Futu, wielding his Dragon-Slaying Halberd, shouted from the edge of the sea of ​​fire, "General Zhao, are you satisfied with this battle?"

"Traitor, do you dare to duel me!"

"Heh, once you catch me, you can do whatever you want with me."

"Chen Futu, tonight I will fight you to the death!"

Seeing his soldiers still wailing in the sea of ​​fire, Zhao Tianhao angrily ordered a pursuit.

Chen Futu once again spurred his horse and fled, continuing the chase. More than 10,000 men, led by several lieutenants, were in hot resentment and vowed to tear Chen Futu to pieces.

As for Zhao Tianhao, he certainly wouldn't pursue him. He still needed to gather his remaining troops and retreat overnight to rejoin the main force.

Just when he thought the danger had passed, an arrow suddenly pierced his eye socket in the darkness.

"Ah! My eyes!"

Zhao Tianhao screamed and fell off his horse, blood gushing from between his fingers as he covered his eyes.

It was Qin Liangyu who fired a sneak arrow from the shadows. When she discovered that Zhao Tianhao had fallen off his horse, she immediately led her troops to charge.

"Capture Zhao Tianhao alive!"

"kill!"

Zhao Tianhao was writhing on the ground in pain, but his men desperately protected him, hurriedly putting him on a horse and escorting him away.

Qin Liangyu charged into the enemy ranks alone, her spear striking down men and horses alike.

Unfortunately, there were too many enemy troops in disarray, and Zhao Tianhao ultimately escaped.

On the other side, Chen Futu led his army of more than 10,000 men in a maze of trees. Suddenly, a tripwire appeared, and the East Sea cavalrymen who were charging ahead were sent flying one by one.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Futu turned back to launch a surprise attack, coordinating with the three cavalry groups led by Li Xiuning, Du Hongxue, and Luo Wushuang who had been lying in ambush, and frantically cut across the battlefield.

In this battle, Chen Fu slaughtered three lieutenant generals, and the rest were taken down by Li Xiuning.

By the time the battle ended, it was already dawn.

The tree-lined path was littered with corpses, some of them enemies, and many of them were female soldiers.

The scene was terrifying; the entire area was deathly still, and there wasn't even a place to stand.

Of the two thousand women soldiers from Chen Futu's four teams, only about six hundred remained after the battle, almost all of them were wounded, and some of the girls had even lost their arms.

"Your Highness, we have annihilated over eight thousand enemy soldiers in this battle."

Du Hongxue, covered in blood, staggered in to deliver the news.

Chen Futu stared at the corpses of the women soldiers being collected and fell silent.

"Your Highness, you are injured!"

Du Hongxue noticed the laceration on Chen Futu's chest and quickly went to help him.

Chen Futu shook his head. "It's just a superficial injury, nothing to worry about."

It seems that things should be coming to an end for Qin Liangyu by now.

In this battle, the three thousand women soldiers used guerrilla tactics as a basis, with each move linked to the next, and finally defeated the enemy's thirty thousand soldiers. Unfortunately, the remaining women soldiers were all incapacitated and had to withdraw as soon as possible. If they returned to Pingzi to recuperate now, they would most likely be surrounded and killed by Zhao Tianhao.

After much deliberation, Chen Futu ordered the bodies to be burned and the soldiers' ashes to be brought back.

A moment later, Qin Liangyu returned. Her cavalry force was well-preserved, still numbering over five hundred. She had executed all the soldiers who had surrendered the previous night, killing over six thousand and burning over three thousand to death. Including those killed in the fighting, about five thousand of the thirty thousand troops from the East Sea had escaped. The commander-in-chief, Zhao Tianhao, had been shot in one eye and, even if he didn't die, would find it difficult to command the army.

In the afternoon, Chen Futu led his remaining 1,200 troops away from the Green Shade Road, and along the Xuan River, turned northwest back to Shanhai Post Station.

"Report——"

"Your Highness, a surprise force has been spotted ahead, numbering at least five thousand!"

Suddenly, a scout brought back news, and Chen Futu and the others' expressions changed drastically: "How come there are enemy cavalry ahead!"

"They came from Luofu City."

Luofu, a major town?

Chen Futu felt a chill run down his spine. After all, he was an isolated force deep in enemy territory. It was likely that some of his cavalry had escaped back to Luofu City, which was why the enemy had assembled a cavalry regiment to provide support, all wanting to take his head.

Qin Liangyu's red armor was already soaked in blood. She tightened her grip on her spear and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, our army has no chance of fighting anymore. Prince, quickly lead your men to retreat. I will go and lure them away."

Seeing this, Li Xiuning, Du Hongxue, and Luo Wushuang urged their horses forward, saying, "Let me do it."

Looking at the several women, Chen Futu smiled bitterly.

[The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return. Host detected to be in dire straits. Please make a choice.]

[1. If you choose to have Qin Liangyu cover the retreat, there is an 80% chance she will die in battle. The reward is the "Coward" title.]

[2. Choose to have someone else cover the retreat to protect Qin Liangyu. The probability of all members dying in battle is 100%. The reward is the Supreme Edition of the "Coward" title.]

[3. Choose to rest in place and fight the enemy with all your might; reward: Grade 4]

"I choose three."

Chen Futu made his choice without any hesitation.

His strength has increased again, and he can now barely fight against an eighth-rank opponent.

Chen Futu looked at the wounded girls and the ten guards covered in blood.

"Soldiers, in the Northern Frontier, there are no princes who flee for their lives, only generals who die in battle. The enemy wants my life, but even if I die, I will break their teeth!"

Upon hearing this, the female generals' eyes showed a touch of emotion.

He is, after all, the Crown Prince, not one of those spoiled brats. How could he abandon his trusted and beloved general to live alone?

"Rest here, then follow me to fight the enemy!"

"Here!"

Even when they were at their wits' end, a chilling aura once again emanated from them.

The women's army settled their comrades who were seriously wounded but had not died on the banks of the Xuan River.

If they lose this battle, they can choose to commit suicide by drowning.

Then some girls fetched water to wash the blood off their faces, and even Qin Liangyu took off her mask to wash the blood off her hands.

She was afraid her hands would be too slippery and she wouldn't be able to grip the spear properly.

Chen Futu sat by the river, silently munching on dry rations, his eyelids drooping with drowsiness.

Last night's continuous fighting exhausted the enemy, and our own forces were also exhausted. How long can Qin Liangyu maintain her current fighting strength? As for the others, their strength will only decline further.

About half an hour later, the heavy sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Chen Futu stuffed the last mouthful of dry rations into his mouth, then gripped the War Dragon Halberd and mounted his horse. Seeing this, the others quickly prepared and surrounded him.

At a glance, there were more than 900 soldiers and lightly wounded, and more than 300 seriously wounded, all lying on the banks of the Xuan River, quietly awaiting a result.

"Soldiers, in today's battle, we will fight to the death."

Chen Futu roared as he watched the approaching torrent of iron cavalry.

Nine hundred girls behind them roared, "Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"Kill with me!"

"kill--"

This battle is devoid of any fancy moves; now everyone is left with only weapons and one life.

"sudden!"

Qin Liangyu once again took the lead, her bright red robes and armor dazzlingly beautiful. As always, she was brave and fearless, and with her sharp spirit, she single-handedly tore through the enemy's battle formation.

Chen Futu and Li Xiuning exchanged a glance and then led their troops in a charge.

Chen Futu wielded the War Dragon Halberd with all his might, using every skill at his disposal. Before his eyes was a scene of flashing blades, blood, and flying limbs.
