The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 657: Continue Fighting

"Xiao Si, if we surrender like this, our father will not blame us, but I am afraid of those savages in Daqian..."

Xiao Dan said this and didn't say anything else.

Wang Si nodded and said:

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. So I think we might as well go back and gather our troops and find a chance to escape. Your Highness, think about it, if Daqian really doesn't want to kill us, then whether we surrender directly or are caught during the charge, they will let us go."

"This way you can have an explanation to the Emperor."

"If he really wants to kill us, then surrendering will only lead to our death. Let's gather our troops and charge out. We may still have a chance of survival."

After hearing Wang Si's words, the guards around him nodded one after another.

Although many of them couldn't understand what Wang Si said, they all felt it made sense.

Xiao Dan thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Ningchuan's army of 100,000 soldiers has been scattered and fled due to Lü He's incompetence. Your Highness is injured, but he still wants to kill the enemy. Your Highness is truly righteous."

Wang Si flattered.

"Your Highness is righteous."

The people around him are not as smart as Wang Si, so they can only follow Wang Si and flatter him.

"Haha. I'll let my father see my abilities after I break through the siege of the Daqian army."

Wang Si felt comfortable after hearing this and laughed loudly. He was already imagining the scene where his father would praise him highly after he returned home.

Several people started to walk back. If they could run into the 50,000 troops outside the Cold Valley, that would be the best. If not, it would be good to gather some of the remaining troops.

The group walked back for most of the day and heard countless footsteps in the front.

"Your Highness, be careful."

The leader protected Wang Si behind him. After thinking for a moment, everyone decided to hide first.

Not long after, a remnant army appeared in their sight, wearing the uniforms of the Ningchuan Kingdom. But now they had thrown away their armor and were in disarray.

"Your Highness, he is one of ours."

There was excitement in the low voice.

"go!"

Xiao Dan suddenly jumped out of the woods, startling the marchers. When they saw the man in front of them, they came to their senses.

"Organize the army!"

"Your Highness is still alive!"

The Ningchuan soldiers suddenly felt a backbone. Although His Highness ran faster than anyone else in battle, it was still much better than them running around without a leader.

The soldiers were quickly organized, and there were still 23,000 people in total.

"Why are there so many more?"

Xiao Dan was puzzled. Ningchuan's front army had only 30,000 soldiers. After fighting with Daqian's soldiers for so long, only 7,000 of them died?

"Your Highness, we followed your direction. Those Daqian soldiers were wearing heavy armor and couldn't catch up with us at all."

A captain said.

"I see."

Xiao Dan suddenly realized that many of these soldiers had thrown their weapons aside, and those Daqian soldiers wearing heavy armor would definitely not be able to catch up.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Oh no, that group of people are catching up with us."

Not far away, a scout came back quickly.

Hearing this news, Xiao Dan subconsciously took a step back, and the general wearing a bronze mask appeared in his mind again.

No, what are you afraid of? They are wearing heavy armor and can't outrun me.

"How far away are they from this?"

Xiao Dan asked.

"At their speed, it's probably still two miles."

The scout thought for a moment and replied.

"That's not far away. Let's avoid their attack first and go in the opposite direction."

Xiao Dan said. He didn't have a map in Daqian, and he couldn't tell the exact direction. He could find the way back, but it was blocked.

Now all he could do was to shake off the pursuers.

They walked for three days, stopping and starting frequently, but the Daqian army in the rear seemed to be keeping a close eye on them and they could not get rid of them.

There was a forest ahead. If it was any other time, we would definitely send people in to explore. But now it was impossible. The pursuers were ten miles behind us. If we paused for a moment, we might be caught up.

From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard in the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, Wang Si came running from the rear of the army, panting heavily, and said:

"Your Highness, Daqian's army is chasing us."

"Don't they always do this?"

Xiao Dan asked with some confusion.

"No, they really caught up with us this time."

Wang Si said this and pointed behind him.

Although he couldn't see Daqian's troops due to the obstruction of vision, he could see a commotion behind the army, with people pushing and shoving their way forward. If this continued, there might be a stampede.

But Xiao Dan couldn't care less about that. The most important thing was to leave first.

"Run!"

In an instant, the army became like a pile of loose sand. However, he didn't care about that and ran towards the front army first.

Before they had taken a few steps, the front army, which had already emerged from the bamboo forest, also became commotion.

This time, he saw clearly.

Countless cavalrymen rushed over shouting and killing, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping made him swallow his saliva.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

It’s over, I’ve been made into a dumpling.

"Form a formation and resist! The enemy is no more than 10,000 people, hold on!"

He shouted. He naturally didn't know how many people there were in the Daqian army, but the most important thing at this time was to maintain morale.

But the soldiers were not stupid, they could still see clearly the strength of the enemy and us. The enemy's posture was obviously tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, there was a commander and the formation was successfully formed before the cavalry charged.

Seeing that the enemy's formation had been formed, Lei Pokong did not choose to charge immediately. Instead, he circled around the turtle shell and shot crossbow arrows into it. Many Ningchuan soldiers fell to the ground, but the formation was not disrupted.

But Ningchuan's rear army was in chaos at this time.

There was no one in command and everyone was only concerned with escaping, which meant that when the Daqian soldiers rushed in, they were unable to form an effective defense.

Duanmu Liangjiang took the lead, and one Ningchuan soldier after another died under his gun.

Behind him, the Qingzhou soldiers fought bravely.

Lei Pokong also successfully went around the flank, and the cavalry charged and killed the Ningchuan army, causing heavy casualties.

Xiao Dan had never seen such a scene before and was almost frightened to death.

He watched the Ningchuan soldiers die one by one, and had no idea how to command them. He only knew that they could not hold on for much longer.

Now there are only two choices before him: either run or surrender.

Run?

He didn't even have a war horse, so if he ran at this time, he would only be caught up.

Rather than this, it is better to surrender.

"Surrender."

He said weakly, and could only pray that Daqian would spare his life.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

The soldiers around them had already lost the will to fight again and shouted.

"General Duanmu, they surrendered."

Lei Pokong and Duanmu Liangjiang met and spoke.

"Surrender? Keep fighting!"

Duanmu Liangjiang sneered. If they stopped fighting at this time, the troops of Daliang would not come out again.

"it is good!"

Lei Pokong responded and once again led his troops to charge into the crowd.

Xiao Dan saw with his own eyes a soldier who dropped his weapon and shouted "surrender" and was killed by the enemy general with a single blow.

His mind went blank. So, the other party would not accept surrender?

It's over, completely over.

He thought to himself, and the light in his eyes had faded.

"Your Highness, let's go, let's fight our way out!"

Wang Si on the side shook him. Although the possibility of him escaping was very small, it was better than nothing.

Once you get out and flee in all directions, there will definitely be a chance of survival.

"Yes, kill them!"

Xiao Dan came back to his senses and murmured.

He must not die here.
