Maybe I shouldn't have saved you in the first place.
— Jebe
I seem to win all the glory, and it seems to lose nothing.
— Situ
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by the flames soaring into the sky, the Dazhou military camp was in chaos.
Deputy General Chen Cang rushed into the main tent, his armor was covered with blood.
Looks like it's been a tough fight.
"Your Highness, let's retreat quickly, the Chahar tribe took advantage of the night to attack suddenly, and they have already attacked!"
Chen Cang's face was tense, no matter what he wanted to protect His Royal Highness.
[Drip, congratulations to the host for unlocking the force value]
Si Tu put on his battle robe, picked up the nine-pan whip, with a stern look on his face,
"I'm not in the habit of being a deserter."
This plane is very satisfactory to her, she hasn't stretched her muscles for a long time, it's time to move around.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Cang knelt on the ground and begged bitterly,
"Your Highness, we don't have much food and grass left in our army, and there is no support. If we continue to fight this battle, we will only lose completely."
It is better to lose than to lose your life.
Before marching, he promised His Majesty the Empress that His Highness the Third Highness would return to Shangjing intact.
so miserable
It seems that there are a lot of tricks in it.
[How likely is this battle to win?]
Even if there is 50%, she should give it a go.
[If there is a host, at least 70%]
With four fragments unlocked, the force value of the host is enough to be equal to one hundred.
Si Tu bent down to help him up, with a serious expression on his face,
"Trust me, this battle will not be lost!"
Before Chen Cang could react, Si Tu strode out of the camp, beating drums and beating the enemy.
The sound of the drums was particularly passionate in this dark night, hitting the hearts of all the soldiers one after another, igniting their determination to fight.
"Look, the person playing the drum is His Highness the Third Highness."
"Your Highness is still insisting, what right do we have to retreat, brothers, give these barbarians a wink!"
The soldiers rearranged their armor and guarded their posts in an orderly manner.
For a time, most of the forwards of the Chahar tribe were repelled.
The fire was reflected in Si Tu's pupils, and when she climbed up the city wall, she vaguely saw the enemy army rushing to support in front of her.
"Your Highness, Chahar's reinforcements have arrived."
Chen Cang looked nervous and clenched his fists tightly.
If it wasn't for those people from the previous dynasty, how could they not have any support from Da Zhou
"Bring me my red robe and armor, and dispatch a small unit in the army."
Si Tu reckoned that the enemy's reinforcements would take half a quarter of an hour to arrive, so it was still too late to cut off their reinforcements.
But a bait is needed.
And the leader of a country is the best bait.
Situ's red robe and armor were particularly eye-catching when he stepped on the steed, and he could be recognized at a glance even in the dark.
"Vice General Chen, cover us for a while and cut in from the enemy's side."
Chen Cang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Si Tu's eyes.
"In the face of war, there is no status, only responsibility."
Now that she has been appointed as the head coach, she has the responsibility to guard the city.
No matter what the cost!
Holding the reins tightly, Si Tu said to the thirty or so soldiers behind him,
"You are all the most heroic soldiers in my Great Zhou, but I still want to remind you that there may be a return to this trip."
Even she can't guarantee that it will be 100% successful, let alone be able to come back alive.
"We swear to follow the Third Highness!"
"Follow the Third Highness!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, and their morale soared.
And at this moment, Si Tu felt the long-lost blood.
The city gate opened slowly, and a red figure rushed out quickly.
Sticking to a corner of the city wall, Si Tu went around from the side of the mountain to the rear of the enemy army.
At this time, Chahar's reinforcements collided with Si Tu.
"General Duomu, don't you think that is the chief general of Da Zhou?"
The red robe is particularly conspicuous, and Si Tu wanted this effect.
Duomu took a closer look, but he was still afraid of being cheated, so he didn't make a decision for a long time.
"General, being able to capture the main general of the Zhou Dynasty alive will definitely lower their morale, and Khan will not treat you badly then."
They have been oppressed by Da Zhou for more than a hundred years. How could they let this opportunity pass so easily
Si Tu also grasped their mentality.
Ever since Xi Xi and the Empress ascended the throne, Chahar has been invading the borders of the Great Zhou all the year round.
However, the previous dynasty was complicated, and Xihe sent his most beloved daughter to fight, just to gain military merit and get the title of crown princess justifiably.
But I didn't expect that the people below were obedient and vicious, swallowing food and grass privately, and the front line was in a hurry, but the governor of Yongzhou was still reluctant to support.
This caused Si Tu to lose again and again.
"Whoever captures the main general of the Great Zhou, this general will be promoted to three ranks in a row, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold."
The Chahar tribe is a nomadic people with scarce resources. For them, a hundred taels of gold is not a small amount.
All of a sudden, the soldiers were excited, shouting, and rushed towards Situ like crazy.
It was better to lure them as far away as possible. Si Tu whipped his whip and ran in the opposite direction.
Under the moonlit night, that red figure was particularly eye-catching.
"Scatter!"
Since their target was her, it was also one of Si Tu's plans to minimize casualties and allow them to return alive.
But the soldiers who sensed her intentions gritted their teeth and shouted,
"We will follow His Highness to the death!"
Throwing their heads, sprinkling blood, and guarding the Great Zhou are their only beliefs as soldiers.
At this moment, a long arrow pierced the sky and shot straight at Si Tu's horse's leg.
"Damn it, these little bastards are really good at shooting."
Li Ge spat, then hurriedly said,
"Your Highness, change my horse."
The horse neighed, and the team led by Si Tu was forced to stop.
"That's too late."
The terrain here is intricate, and only the people in Chahar understand it.
But Si Tu and the others were already surrounded by the enemy army.
"The southwest corner is the weak link of their encirclement, attack there in a while, rush out!"
The sound of roars and clashes of weapons can be heard endlessly, and blood and sweat have created supreme brilliance.
Si Tu took the lead to open the way, waving the nine-pan whip, tripping several enemy warriors in succession.
A hole was torn open in the encirclement, and Si Tu shouted loudly,
"It's now, spread out and run!"
After snatching a horse, Si Tu swung his whip and wiped out all the enemy troops who wanted to block the way.
"Their leader has run away, chase after him!"
Alechi was thrown, got up, picked up the big axe, and chased after him on horseback.
Si Tu tugged at the rein, but the horse couldn't move no matter what, and insisted on running towards the west.
If she guessed right, it should be Chahar's main account.
Flowing arrows hit her, Si Tu quickly took off the armor, drew an arc in mid-air, and caught all the arrows.
But wave after wave of arrows struck, the armor was pierced through several holes, and Si Tu casually threw it away.
He took out a nine-pan whip and caught more than a dozen arrows, but there was always a sparse one, and several arrows shot straight at her.
Si Tu couldn't dodge in time, and was shot in the shoulder and back.
