I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 518 Losing the City
"Brother Zhengfu...is dead?!"

Taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides, Chen Yiqin finally confirmed that his friend Yin Shidan had died.

He was so sad that his whole body was sluggish.

Yin Shidan, who was in the Mahayana realm after all, was unexpectedly killed by the opponent who silently approached his back and killed him with one blow.

Death is not scary.

But those who practice in the Mahayana realm have far better perception abilities than ordinary people.

How could he be easily attacked at close range! ?
"Your Excellency is very resourceful, but I don't know who his name is and what official position he holds in Jin State?" Gao Gong said in a deep voice.

Confucianism cultivators, after all, are accustomed to saying that one should be polite before fighting.

"Headmaster of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jing Wudi."

Jing Wudi also locked his eyes on Gao Gong.

The powerful and heavy punches just now really impressed him deeply.

Even with the heaven-level elixir prepared by the Jade God himself, he still felt seriously injured internally, and his combat power had dropped by at least 20%.

"The Overwatch Council?"

Gao Gong carefully savored the meaning of these three words, and recalled Jing Wudi's methods just now.

His face suddenly darkened.

"Lu Bing is incompetent and missed my big job!"

The Supervisory Yuan of the Jin Dynasty and the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty do have similar functions.

But to this day, Lu Bing has barely uncovered any information about the Jin Dynasty, let alone the existence of the Oversight Council. No wonder Gao Gong said this.

"Lao Gao Ge carefully said that there are also guards in uniforms in the army." Zhang Juzheng reminded him carefully.

"so what?"

"Are I still afraid of Lu Bing?"

Gao Gong retorted with a stinking face.

In his mind, if Emperor Jiajing appointed him as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, or at least the second assistant, even Yan Song would have been defeated long ago.

Not to mention the mere leader of the Jin Yiwei?
"High arch!"

"You haven't wiped out the enemy yet?"

"Yin Shidan is dead!?"

Prince Wanli suddenly fell from the sky.

When he saw the situation of the Ming army, he was so shocked that he wanted to explode on the spot!

"It's... His Highness the Crown Prince... this..." Gao Gong was questioned all over the place, and he felt humiliated and speechless.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Prince Wanli up and down, only to find that he was injured and his hands were empty.

what happened?

With the prince's fourth-level cultivation in the Mahayana realm, could he be defeated by Fan Li?

"Another Mahayana realm?!"

Wanli's eyes fell on Jing Wudi, and he suddenly felt pressure.

He was worried that Fan Li would chase him, and now he wanted to escape back to Haozhou City immediately.

"withdraw troops!"

"withdraw troops!"

"Let's go back to Haozhou!"

Prince Wanli did not ask Gao Gong and others for their opinions, and immediately shouted.

When the three cabinet ministers heard this, their expressions changed drastically!
Now the two armies are fighting fiercely and entangled, with you among me and me among you. Unless there is a winner, it is difficult to separate.

At this time, no military strategy can be used.

It fits the saying: When two armies fight, the brave one wins!

To withdraw troops is to act cowardly.

The ending can only be a disastrous defeat!

Prince Wanli is the commander-in-chief of the entire army. His orders are absolute military orders that cannot be disobeyed.

It's impossible for Gao Gong and others to save it!
"Run!!!!"

I don't know which Ming army screamed, and the experienced veterans on the battlefield turned around and ran away, not even caring about the enemy in front of them.

This is the experience of veterans.

When retreating, if there are enemy soldiers behind you, the only way to survive is to run faster than your companions.

As long as the enemy catches up with your companions, you have a chance to escape.

As a result, a great defeat that Prince Wanli had never seen before was immediately staged in front of him!

"How...how could this happen!?" Wanli said in surprise.

When he came, he clearly saw that the two armies were evenly matched in a fierce battle, and it would be impossible to tell the winner for a while.

The retreat Wanli imagined was that the Ming army of more than 200,000 people fought and retreated under his wise command.

Even if Fan Li chases after him, this is already the land of the Ming Dynasty and he cannot use [Pangu Giant Body]. With Gao Gong and others escorting him, he could return to Haozhou City safely.

Safety?

More than 200,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were in a hurry like a bereaved dog, and their miserable condition was even worse than the refugees Wanli had seen in disaster years.

They didn't actually protect me?
Abandoning his dignified Ming prince, he fled towards Haozhou City like a mad dog?

"Escort!"

"You damn things!"

"I...the prince is still here, how can you run in front of me?"

"When we return to the capital, I will destroy nine of your clans, no, ten clans!"

The louder Prince Wanli scolded, the more the soldiers of the Ming army did not dare to look back and ran away desperately.

Are you kidding me?
More than 200,000 people are running for their lives. Even if Emperor Jiajing comes, he will not dare to destroy their ten tribes!
That's a population of at least several million!
The soldiers of the Ming army suddenly felt that the failure of this battle was entirely due to Prince Wanli.

"Your Highness, stop scolding." Zhang Juzheng said bitterly: "Let us escort you back to Haozhou quickly."

"Humph!"

Prince Wanli still wanted to curse, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure approaching in the distance.

Is it Fan Li? !

"Go back...go back to Haozhou immediately!"

"The first thing I did after I returned home was to strengthen the Haozhou city defense formation!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly responded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a wise man, and all the ministers are waiting for His Majesty the Crown Prince to be attentive."

He thought to himself that this was a serious matter, and it was better than going back to liquidate the fleeing soldiers.

Jin army camp.

Fan Li fell from the sky and saw Jing Wudi here, and asked with a smile: "How is the situation in Haozhou City?"

In fact, there is no need to ask at all.

Jing Wudi was not in the army before, but he was protecting Zhang Daoling and helping him divide his troops to seize Haozhou City.

The fact that he is here now means that Haozhou City has been captured.

Although Zhang Daoling was only in the Qi Refining realm, he was protected by a hundred thousand Jin troops.

With his immortal skills, it is no problem to activate the Haozhou city defense formation.

"Teacher Zhang is already in Haozhou, waiting for His Majesty's arrival." Jing Wudi replied respectfully.

"it is good!"

Fan Li nodded with satisfaction.

"Go to Haozhou!"

……

…………

"How could this be?"

"How can it be!"

Prince Wanli led the remaining defeated generals to the outside of Haozhou City, only to see the Jin army flag flying above the city.

On the city wall, you can see endless Jin army soldiers, wearing armor and carrying sharp weapons, all of them are energetic and full of fighting spirit!
The city defense formation has been activated.

A thick spiritual energy barrier, without a strong enough army siege method, it is impossible to break it open!

Prince Wanli looked behind him. There were only less than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming army following him?

With these few soldiers and horses, there is no way they can break through the city defense formation.

Unless, he and the three Mahayana realms take full action!

But how is that possible?

Wanli must preserve his strength to prevent Fan Li from pursuing him with the powerful men of Jin.

"What's going on?!" Prince Wanli said angrily: "I ordered the army to withdraw to Haozhou, why are there only these few troops left?"

Zhang Juzheng said awkwardly: "Our army was defeated, and many soldiers were caught up and killed by the Jin army. The rest who survived, because His Highness said that they would destroy the ten tribes, probably fled into the mountains and forests and did not dare to return to the city."

"What!?"

Prince Wanli's expression changed drastically.

"It's just...it's just..."

I am just joking?

Wanli really didn't have the face to admit it, and he had no intention of actually wiping out all the ten tribes with more than 200,000 soldiers.

"Ugh!"

Gao Gong sighed beside him.

He held it back this time, but it was just a sigh that Prince Wanli found extremely harsh.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gao Gong persuaded, ignoring Wanli's murderous gaze: "Let's go back to the capital... and plead guilty to His Majesty."
