Chapter 824: Escape (1st Update)

"Retreat?" When Empress Dowager Yan heard this, she didn't seem so annoyed, but asked Ji Xing a question: "Where to retreat?" ”

Ji Xing said with a solemn face: "For today's plan, the only way to retreat to our North Korea, as long as you cross Pan Manhan, presumably Li Mu will not be able to catch up again." ”

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Ji Xing, and Ji Xing also looked at Queen Yan, their eyes intersected, and there seemed to be some kind of strange atmosphere echoing in the air.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Yan suddenly whispered, "Since that's the case...... Then please leave it to the prince. ”

Ji Xing's heart fluttered slightly.

"She, she actually ...... me, to me"

Ji Xing felt that her body no longer belonged to her, and her heart fluttered, fluttering, as if she had ascended to heaven in an instant......

Ji Xing doesn't even remember how she got out of this mansion.

After returning to his barracks, Ji Xing immediately summoned the remaining generals: "How many troops do I have available now?" ”

A general who looked quite old and steady coughed and said in a low voice: "Back to the prince, there are still 18,000 people available, and there are 8,000 people in this Yan army." ”

This sentence poured down from the top of Ji Xing's head like a basin of cold water, instantly making his body cold.

I think he led a 50,000-strong Korean army when he set out, how high-spirited was that, but now? Of the 50,000 troops, there were only 10,000 left!

In view of the very small population of Korea, it may not be possible to restore the number of troops to 50,000 in one or two years.

After a while, Ji Xing gritted his teeth and said, "This damn Li Mu! I will avenge this revenge in the future! ”

"Revenge?" When several generals heard Ji Xing's words, their faces did not react, but they were a little disapproving.

The youngest of these generals are also over thirty-five years old, and they are all experienced people in battle formations, so it is impossible to see that when it comes to arranging troops and even strategy and tactics, the Li Mu on the opposite side is definitely not in vain, otherwise he would not have beaten the 50,000 army of the Korean State to only 10,000 in one battle.

That is, there is also the city of Xiangping City as a backing, otherwise the result of the battle that day will be a super rout of the 50,000 army of the Korean State, and even few people present may not be able to escape with their lives!

Of course, no one would say such bad words in front of the prince, and everyone looked at Ji Xing very respectfully, waiting for the prince's decision.

Ji Xing didn't let these generals wait too long, and soon he made a decision: "Tonight, our army will break through at night!" ”

When the generals heard this, their bodies were shocked, and their faces showed excited expressions.

Someone is about to ask, why is this escape still exciting?

After all, no one present is a fool, and the current situation is very obvious, and continuing to defend the city is just a dead end.

With no reinforcements from outside and no morale inside, this battle is completely impossible to fight, and only by running away in time while the troops still have some combat strength can we maintain a glimmer of life.

So the generals did not talk nonsense, and went down to organize their troops in a hurry, preparing to run away at midnight two hours later.

As a qualified commander, even if he runs away, Ji Xing has come up with a plan.

He did not gather everyone together, but let the large army retreat from the east, and he himself quietly retreated from the north.

On the map, it is definitely closer to the east, and it is inevitable to take a detour to the north.

"Why go north?" Empress Dowager Yan, who was already ready to go, looked at Ji Xing in front of her with some doubts.

Ji Xing looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and for some reason there was a sudden urge to possess her in his heart, and this impulse roared like a tsunami, instantly filling his heart, almost making him unable to control himself.

But fortunately, Ji Xing knew in his own heart that it was not the time, so he pressed the impulse in his heart and turned over on the horse.

When she returns to Pyongyang City, isn't this woman at her mercy as she wants?

"Let's go!"

A moment later, the east and north gates of Xiangping City opened at the same time, and the two armies left the city like two torrents in the night, rushing towards the Zhao army camp not far away.

However, it was said that Ji Xing's way, because the north was the weakest place in the encirclement of the Zhao army, so Ji Xing and the five thousand soldiers around him did not use much strength, and quickly rushed out of the encirclement of the Zhao army after a short battle.

After breaking through the encirclement, Ji Xing subconsciously glanced back at the east and found that there was a shout of killing and shaking, and the firelight lit up half of the sky, and it was obvious that the main force that broke through was caught in a fierce battle there.

This discovery made Ji Xing involuntarily relieved, and thought a little proudly: "Fortunately, I chose this plan to attack the west......"

Ji Xing led the soldiers around him to march all the way, and fled non-stop for a whole night, and after escaping about sixty or seventy miles, he finally stopped briefly in a small valley.

Many people have already begun to fall behind and cannot continue to escape.

At this time, it is also the time when the morning light is faintly bright.

Ji Xing took a piece of dry food and came to the carriage of the Empress Dowager Yan.

"Queen Mother, now that the war situation is urgent, please ask the Queen Mother to take a break for the time being."

Empress Dowager Yan nodded, took the dry food from Ji Xing's hand, and beside her, Xiao Yan Wang had already fallen asleep.

Empress Dowager Yan suddenly asked Ji Xing a question: "Prince, what kind of city is Pyongyang City?" ”

Ji Xing subconsciously straightened his chest and said proudly: "It's better than Xiangping City!" ”

Let's forgive this Tu Baozi, after all, he is only a descendant of the remnants of Yin Shang who lived on the Korean Peninsula, and he has never been to a big city in the Central Plains in his life.

Empress Dowager Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since this is the case, then the old woman wishes the prince a smooth journey and returns to Pyongyang as soon as possible." ”

Ji Xing froze for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed: "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan sighed and said slowly: "The old woman is the empress dowager of Yan Kingdom, and Ke'er is the king of Yan Kingdom, if she can't keep the ancestral inheritance, she is already unfilial, how can she abandon the millions of soldiers and civilians of Yan Country to be the exiles?" The prince invited him back to North Korea, and the old woman led the army back to Jidu, if she couldn't defeat the Zhao people, she would throw her life on the land of Yan. ”

Ji Xing's expression changed, and after a while, he said: "Please think twice, didn't Jin Wen Qi Huan also go into exile in other countries back then, and later he was able to create an immortal foundation, why should the Queen Mother take it to heart about today's small setbacks?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan shook her head and said, "The old woman has made up her mind, and I ask the prince not to persuade him anymore." ”

Ji Xing's face became more and more ugly.

You must know that at this time, Ji Xing has completely regarded Empress Dowager Yan as his own woman, but now this woman is not going with him, isn't this nonsense?

What's more, if Ji Xing really went back like this, then there were only a few thousand people around him, and the women didn't catch it, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?

Therefore, Ji Xing made up his mind in just a few breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Although Ji Xing is not talented, he can't sit back and watch the Queen Mother fall into danger, no matter what, please return to Pyongyang with me, and then think about it in the long run!" ”

In Ji Xing's opinion, as long as you bring people back first, it's not up to you to decide what will happen when the time comes?

As for whether you are willing or not, a big fist is the last word.

Empress Dowager Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Could it be that the prince wants to force the old woman?" ”

What about forcing you? A voice kept echoing in Ji Xing's mind, and he almost shouted this sentence, but in the end he closed his mouth very smartly and said coldly: "You can't stay here for a long time, please take a little rest for the Queen Mother, and we will set off again in an hour!" ”

As he spoke, Ji Xing turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, a very sharp long sword pointed at his chest.

Ji Xing's face changed greatly, staring at the general of the Yan State Praetorian Guard in front of him, and said coldly: "Queen Mother, I led a large army to come to your aid, is this your attitude towards reinforcements?" ”

The change here was almost immediately noticed by Ji Xing's personal guards, almost subconsciously, Ji Xing's personal guards pulled out their long swords and shouted at the general of the Yan Guard: "Put down the long sword and rest to hurt my lord!" ”

Most of the fleeing troops were mainly the Korean troops of Ji Xing, but there were also 2,000 Yan soldiers, so in this short period of time, the two sides were divided into two distinct camps, each drawing his weapon and confronting each other.

Behind Ji Xing, Empress Dowager Yan sighed slowly and said, "Prince, the old woman has already said that it is absolutely impossible for the old woman and the king of Pyongyang City to go, and please let the old woman and her son live." ”

Ji Xing's face was extremely ugly, and he was even more angry in his heart, you must know how noble his identity is since he was born, where is there a moment when he is threatened with a sword like this? Immediately said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, if you act like this, who will dare to help you in the future?" Let me go, or you will regret it! ”

"Impossible." Empress Dowager Yan very firmly rejected Ji Xing's request: "Unless the prince agrees not to entangle the old woman anymore and let the old woman and the king leave." ”

Apricot couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the sound shook the valley in the early morning, and patches of yellow leaves fell from the branches.

"Queen Mother, this is your last chance, you have thought about it yourself!"

The atmosphere was almost stagnant.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook faintly.

A scout who was on guard outside the valley rushed into the valley.

"Prince, Zhao Guoren is chasing after you!"
