Emperor Xiao An was overjoyed after reading this. He ran away from under his nose. How could he be stopped? He immediately ordered someone to call the princess over.
When Princess Zhaoning heard that the enemy had retreated, she was naturally very excited. She gathered all the people in the palace and rushed to the roadside to ambush.
Zhu Meng and his men ran all the way, but were chased by Du Shun, Liu Ce, and Liu Tie's men. They lost more than half of the 10,000 men. In the end, they only managed to escape the pursuit with less than 300 soldiers.
Hearing the shouts of killing from behind gradually subsided, Zhu Meng breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the soldiers next to him, "We are finally free. It will be dawn now. Let's keep running forward for a while and we can find a place." Take a rest.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting next to him, "Charge, kill, don't let the people from the Great Earth Kingdom escape."
This shout scared Zhu Meng out of his wits. He had just escaped from the pursuit behind him, but now there was an ambush.
Without saying a word, Zhu Meng quickly urged his horse to continue running. Princess Zhaoning ordered her men, who were all Zhu Meng's men, to urge her horses to pursue Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng had been running all night, fighting and running at the same time. He was tired and his horse was tired.
But Princess Zhaoning is different. Princess Zhaoning is just waiting for work.
The two of them chased each other for less than five miles before Princess Zhaoning caught up with him.
It was daybreak at this time, and Princess Zhaoning could clearly see the person running in front of her. Isn't this Zhu Meng? Naturally, we can't let him run away anymore.
While chasing, Princess Zhaoning shouted loudly, "Zhu Meng, where are you running this time?"
Zhu Meng was completely devastated when his identity was revealed.
He knew that there would be nothing good to gain if he was caught this time, so he had to deal with Princess Zhaoning behind her.
When he thought of this, he leaned on the horse and quietly took off his long bow.
He pulled out a long arrow from the arrow pot and suddenly shot straight back.
It's a pity that Princess Zhaoning is the disciple of Master Lotus. How can you hide this little trick from her? When Princess Zhaoning saw Zhu Meng lying down, she knew that the other party was up to something bad, so when Zhu Meng took the bow, Princess Zhaoning also took off the bow and arrows.
Princess Zhaoning was even more skilled than Zhu Meng. Princess Zhaoning took out three arrows in one breath and put them on the string at the same time. When Zhu Meng turned around to shoot, Princess Zhaoning also shot three arrows.
There was a crisp sound in the air, and Zhu Meng's arrow was accurately shot down by Princess Zhaoning's arrow.
The remaining two arrows were as fast as lightning, heading towards Zhu Meng.
At this time, Jumong saw the arrow coming, and it was too late to hide, so he could only try his best to dodge the vital point.
With two muffled sounds, the two arrows hit Zhu Meng's left shoulder and thigh.
Alas!
The pain made Zhu Meng tremble and his body swayed twice, but at least he did not fall off the horse.
But he was injured and bleeding profusely. It was freezing cold and the blood was flowing out again.
After running for a while, Zhu Meng couldn't hold on any longer.
He felt the figure in front of him begin to sway heavily, and knowing that he couldn't hold on much longer, he leaned down and hugged the horse's neck, letting him go.
Princess Zhaoning followed behind for less than two miles. When she saw Zhu Meng lying down, the horse ran slower and slower. Princess Zhaoning knew that Zhu Meng couldn't hold on any longer, so she was not in a hurry.
Princess Zhaoning slowed down and followed Zhu Meng's horse about ten feet away.
At this distance, if anything happened to Zhu Meng, he would have enough time to react. He followed him and ran for about two miles, when he saw Zhu Meng in front of him swayed twice, then fell down.
Zhu Meng lay on his back, motionless.
Seeing this, Princess Zhaoning was relieved. She put her little finger in her mouth and whistled, and the guards following behind quickly followed her.
Princess Zhaoning pointed at Zhu Meng and said, "Tie him up and take him back to receive the reward from his father."
Then, Princess Zhaoning went back to clean up the scene. Except for a few soldiers who escaped, almost all the more than 200 soldiers led by Zhu Meng were wiped out.
Princess Zhaoning was about to take people back when she heard the sound of horse hooves and saw that her father was actually here.
As soon as he saw Princess Zhaoning, Xiao An hurriedly waved his hand, "Jingfeng, follow me back to Wannian City quickly. There are no enemy troops outside the city."
Princess Zhaoning became excited as soon as she heard this. She didn't bother to clean up the scene and ran back with Xiao An.
At this time, outside Wannian City, Liu Xiangnan had already ordered people to start clearing the battlefield.
Zhu Meng ran away in a hurry, so he left all the supplies behind and didn't have time to take them away.
Liu Xiangnan commanded his people to collect tents, food, grass, various military supplies, and even armor and weapons into Wannian City. To describe it in one sentence, it was a complete victory and a return with a full load.
Now Liu Xiangnan's reputation spread in Wannian City again.
At this time, thousands of miles away, Qingguang City. Jopson, the emperor of the Great Earth Kingdom, received a report from his subordinates early in the morning, saying that the people from the Great Cang Kingdom had also withdrawn, and the camp left by Liu Rumei and the others was empty, with no one left.
Jopson was stunned when he heard this. He mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the city, but why did the enemy all escape overnight?
At this time, the old national teacher Sodro stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we may have been deceived by the other side and burned our food and grass. They wanted to withdraw, but they deliberately attacked with great fanfare to make us retreat to Qingguang City so that they could take the opportunity to withdraw. Walk."
After hearing this, Jopson nodded, "In this case, we can't let them run away so easily. We immediately sent an order to all the soldiers and horses along the line to block them with all their strength. We must stop them. When the prince comes back, we will surround him on all sides. Eliminate these 300,000 people within the borders of our great land."
At this time, Liu Rumei had already led her people to retreat for more than a hundred miles. She ordered her people to bring only seven days of dry food. After seven days at most, they could completely withdraw to Okura.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had been retreated for nearly three hundred miles. After all, he left one day earlier than Liu Rumei, but because he retreated quietly, he did not dare to march during the day and only dared to leave at night.
But today is different, because Liu Rumei also started to withdraw today, so Chen Xiaobei and the others dared to run back openly.
At the same time, soldiers and horses along the Great Tu Kingdom also received orders to besiege them.
At this time in Wannian City, Emperor Xiao An has returned with his people. He didn't even have time to listen to Liu Xiangnan's report before he immediately came to see Prince Xiao Jingyun.
At this time, Xiao Jingyun's face was sallow and he was already too thin to look good.
After reading it, Xiao An felt heavy.
After listening to Quan Quan's comprehensive report, which said that the toad must be found to detoxify, Xiao An was even more disheartened. This situation was almost impossible to solve.
