The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Xi Fenglie shook off the soldiers' support, wiped away the slight blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and stared coldly at Sikong Jin in front of him. A sinister sneer appeared on his somewhat tarnished face. "Haha, Sikong Jin, you have indeed not disappointed me. However, precisely because of this, you will not leave alive! You are too dangerous. If we do not eliminate you, the plan for our Great Liao's eastern expedition will inevitably face difficulties. Therefore, you will not leave this battlefield alive!"

"Who says he can't walk off this battlefield alive?"

Just as the fierce wind subsided, a gentle and refined voice suddenly came from ahead. Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that Tuoba Yu and his guards were riding towards them, their azure robes fluttering in the wind, exuding elegance.

He galloped over and quickly reined in his horse less than two zhang away from Sikong Jin, and the guards behind him also stopped.

"Are you OK?"

Tuoba Yu's deep eyes flashed with concern, his gaze revealing a suppressed tension as he looked Sikong Jin over.

Sikong Jin glanced at him without saying a word, then turned her gaze to the battlefield ahead before looking at Xifeng Lie.

"Third Prince! It's been a long time. I didn't know you were still alive. I heard you almost clashed with the Northern Imperial Army on the border of the Great Zhou. I thought you had unfortunately died at their hands!"

Xi Fenglie looked at Tuoba Yu with a cold smile. Although he was in a very bad state, his aura had not diminished in the slightest. However, Tuoba Yu could vaguely tell from his voice that he must have suffered serious internal injuries from taking that palm strike from Sikong Jin.

"If even Crown Prince Xifeng could survive under Lord Sikong's command, then of course I am also fine. However, I should thank His Highness for his concern." A faint smile, not reaching his eyes, flickered across Tuoba Yu's handsome face as he replied calmly.

"Well then, I can only say that the Third Prince seems to be quite lucky. However, it seems that your good fortune can only go so far. I'm afraid your Jiangxi Fortress will not be able to withstand the fierce Eagle Army of my Great Liao."

Xi Fenglie's smile grew increasingly sinister as he turned to look at the Tian Sheng soldiers who were retreating like a receding tide. The fierce Liao Eagle Army was still chasing after them, and most of the soldiers had already abandoned their armor and fled in disarray.

"Is that so? Is Your Highness so certain that you can take the Jiangxi Fortress? I think it's not necessarily true."

Tuoba Yu's smile turned somewhat cold, and as if to complement him, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind—

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"

Riding in on horseback was a scout from the Liao Dynasty!

The scout approached Xi Fenglie, hurriedly dismounted, and practically tumbled and crawled to his knees before him, his face filled with panic.

"Your Highness, it's terrible! Scouts from Ningzhou City have just reported that the Tian Sheng army of 200,000 suddenly attacked the defending soldiers. Our army fought back fiercely for over an hour, but due to the overwhelming disparity in strength, all the defending soldiers were killed in action, and Ningzhou City has fallen! All our supplies have been seized by the Tian Sheng army..."

"What did you say? All the soldiers defending the city were killed in action? Ningzhou City has been captured?"

Xi Fenglie grabbed the scout by the collar, staring at him with wide eyes and a sinister expression.

The scout nodded fearfully, stammering, "Yes... Your Highness... Ningzhou City was captured... Our supplies are all gone!"

"Idiot! Get out!"

Xi Fenglie kicked the scout away, a sweet taste rising in his throat, followed by a surge of bloody flavor. He stared coldly at Tuoba Yu, his eyes filled with madness and ferocity, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Tuoba Yu... you did this, didn't you?"

Tuoba Yu smiled and bowed slightly to Xi Fenglie, saying, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry. I presume you have prepared a considerable amount of provisions, enough to sustain my hundreds of thousands of troops through the summer!"

"Alright...it really was you!"

Xi Fenglie swallowed the rush of blood, coldly glanced at Tuoba Yu and Sikong Jin, and sneered repeatedly, "It was my carelessness that caused me to suffer a loss in silence. However, I will definitely not let this go so easily. Tuoba Yu, I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"

"Your Highness, you are mistaken. All's fair in war, and I have always regarded this as a wise saying!"

Tuoba Yu was not displeased at all by Xi Fenglie's sarcasm.

"I will not give up so easily. In the future, when I have prepared my troops, I will personally lead them to raze your Jiangxi fortress once again. Tuoba Yu, you wait! Sikong Jin, you are very good, you are quite good. You are the first person to seriously injure me. I will remember this grudge! However, I hope you will live to see that day!"

Xi Fenglie uttered these words with a sinister tone, and blood involuntarily spilled from the corner of his mouth again. However, he still forced the words back, flicked his sleeve, mounted his horse, and quickly left!

"Order a retreat!"

Xi Fenglie gritted his teeth and uttered these words.

He knew very well that this great battle could only last until now. With their supplies cut off, it was as if Tuoba Yu had cut off their retreat. If his 200,000 troops were to launch a surprise attack from behind, his 200,000 Eagle Divisions would not gain any advantage. For now, he could only temporarily withdraw his troops to Hanyang City and make new plans later.

They could have easily captured the Jiangxi fortress, but Tuoba Yu unexpectedly pulled this stunt! It caught him completely off guard!

Two hundred thousand troops!

Where did he get 200,000 troops from? Wasn't it said that his army was stationed near the border of the Great Zhou?

The duck that was almost in my mouth flew away! And I was seriously injured!

Sitting on his horse, Xi Fenglie grew angrier and angrier. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he could no longer hold back—

In a sense, the Allied forces suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of the Jiangxi Plain.

The Tiansheng army of over 200,000 suffered nearly 100,000 casualties and countless wounded by the Liao army's Eagle Division. In contrast, the Tiansheng army killed fewer than 50,000 Liao soldiers, nearly 40,000 of whom were killed by Sikong Jin's troops who broke out of the Liao army and outflanked them.

Without Tuoba Yu's move, the allied forces' defeat would have been obvious. Tuoba Yu could have easily captured the Jiangxi fortress with almost no effort!

It was already late at night when the soldiers finished cleaning up the battlefield. The allied forces then set up camp at the foot of a gentle slope about 30 miles away from the battlefield.

In the stillness of the night, under the gentle moonlight, the entire military camp seemed unusually quiet after a fierce battle. The surviving soldiers had long since fallen asleep, exhausted.
