After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

Tongues of flames shot up into the sky and exploded above the battlefield, creating a heat wave that made the surrounding air scorching hot.

Feeling the burning breath, Chagan Wuli felt that the blood in his heart was also ignited, veins popped out on his forehead, and his face looked even more ferocious.

He suddenly clenched the battle axe in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. He roared loudly in the direction of the flames, as if he wanted to vent all the enthusiasm in his heart.

"Everyone follow me to retreat!"

Chagan Uli's voice echoed across the battlefield, like a flash of lightning breaking the tranquility of the morning light.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, with confusion and bewilderment written all over their faces.

Just now they were immersed in the carnival of victory, the flames burning the rebels' baggage brought them supreme pleasure, but now they have to issue the order to retreat, which is unbelievable.

"Retreat? Sir, are we just giving up the chance to win?" A young soldier couldn't help but ask, his voice revealing anxiety and unwillingness.

There was a desire to fight in his eyes, and he seemed to find it difficult to understand Chagan Uli's decision.

Chagan Wuli took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He understood the soldiers' feelings. They fought bravely and tried their best in the battle. Seeing victory in sight, they were suddenly told to retreat. Such an order undoubtedly made them feel frustrated.

However, he had already made up his mind that it would not be wise to continue to fight with the rebels.

"We have achieved our goal." Chagan Uli's voice was low and firm, revealing an unshakable power.

His eyes swept across the burning battlefield, the flames flickering in the sunlight, as if mocking the incompetence of the rebels.

He knew that although retreating now would mean missing the opportunity, this was not a momentary impulse but a well-considered choice.

"If we continue to fight, both of us will suffer."

He continued, with a hint of calm analysis in his tone, "Lin Zhongyun and his rebel army will not be defeated by this small victory, but will become even more angry and crazy.

We must preserve our strength and prepare for the next battle."

The soldiers began to discuss in low voices, and began to waver in their opinion on Chagan Uli's decision.

They knew that Chagan Uli had always been a wise and brave leader. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied, they also felt that there was some truth in his words.

"And, look around."

Chagan Uli pointed to the battlefield, the light of the flames reflected on his face, making him look more determined. "We have burned the rebels' baggage, dealing them a heavy blow. Right now, they are full of resentment but have nowhere to vent it.

It would be wisest for us to retreat and let them kill each other in anger."

After hearing this, the soldiers' emotions gradually calmed down. Although they were still unwilling, they began to understand Chagan Wuli's intention.

On the battlefield, the roar of the rebels gradually became heard, as if questioning their own incompetence and helplessness.

"Yes, sir!" Finally, a soldier responded loudly, followed by others. The atmosphere instantly became solemn and firm.

"Hurry, pack up your equipment and retreat with me!" Chagan Uli gave the order again, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

He looked through the thick smoke at the enemy in the distance, secretly thinking about his next plan.

As the order was given, the Northern Barbarian soldiers began to evacuate quickly and orderly, and the glow of the flames gradually faded away behind them.

Chagan Uli rode on horseback, watching his comrades leave, while secretly thinking about the future strategic layout in his heart.

He knew that this battle was not the end, but a new beginning.

They will regroup with a stronger attitude and wait for the next opportunity.

At this moment, what was burning in his heart was not only the passion for fighting, but also the infinite expectations for the future.

"Lin Zhongyun, wait for the next time that will be your death!" Chagan Wuli's voice echoed on the battlefield like thunder.

He spurred his horse and whipped it, and finally glared deeply at Lin Zhongyun in the crowd, his eyes full of hatred and indomitable spirit, and then he rode away.

The firelight illuminated his back, as mighty as a god of war, carrying the anger and determination of the northern barbarian soldiers, and disappeared in the outline of the morning light.

At the same time, Hu Yanhuan and Hu Yanzhong also noticed the enemy's retreat.

On the battlefield, the glow of the flames gradually dimmed, and the air was filled with a burning smell. The soldiers around him were looking around silently, waiting for orders.

"Everyone, retreat!" Hu Yanhuan shouted without hesitation, his voice revealing decisiveness and urgency.

The sky was already bright, and the cover of darkness was gone. If we continued to stay here, we would definitely become the target of the rebels' counterattack, and we might even be surrounded.

Huyan Zhong quickly responded: "Yes, General!" He led his soldiers, quickly adjusted the formation, and followed Huyan Huan's steps to evacuate the battlefield.

Their movements were skillful and quick, as if such a retreat was a common occurrence for them.

Everyone understands that in a life-or-death situation, a safe retreat is the best option to preserve strength.

The soldiers retreated in an orderly manner amid the fire and smoke, and the sound of horse hooves echoed on the battlefield, as exciting as war drums.

The flames gradually dissipated, and the smoke and dust on the battlefield gradually settled, leaving only the echoing sound of Chagan Uli and others' receding hooves.

When the rebels saw this, they were enraged and rode on horseback to give chase.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense, and the soldiers' faces were filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Sir, now is the perfect time to give chase!" Yuan Jingxin wiped the blood off his face and came to Lin Zhongyun, panting.

His eyes were fixed on the retreating enemy, with endless resentment burning in his heart, and it seemed that he did not want to let the enemy go for even a moment.

However, Lin Zhongyun stared at the retreating enemy troops with a sharp gaze, without a trace of emotion on his face.

He knew that pursuing at this time was not the best strategy, so he responded in a deep voice: "Don't be reckless. Our army needs to hold its ground and wait for the right time to act."

"But they have retreated so far. If we don't give chase, they might escape!" Yuan Jingxin said anxiously, feeling unwilling.

He knew that Chagan Uli's threat was not groundless, and if he allowed the enemy to escape, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I know how you feel." Lin Zhongyun's tone softened, but still firm, "But the enemy has burned our baggage, and the morale of the soldiers has also been affected. If we pursue them now, we may be counterattacked by the enemy and suffer heavy losses. We need to stabilize our position and reorganize our forces to win the next battle."

In fact, he didn't know whether Chagan Uli's conspiracy was behind all this.

The enemy's retreat seemed too sudden, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

More importantly, with their current military strength, they may not be able to do anything to the Northern Barbarians even if they give chase.

Chagan Wuli has now joined Hu Yanhuan and the others, so they have no choice but to continue waiting for Li Zhongwu's army to join them. Only in this way can it be the safest way with the least risk.

There was a hint of unwillingness in Yuan Jingxin's eyes, but he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart and nodded silently.

He knew that Lin Zhongyun's judgment was always accurate. Although he still felt unwilling, he understood that impulsiveness would only lead to greater failure.

On the battlefield, the rebel soldiers gathered and rearranged themselves to prepare for the next challenge.

Lin Zhongyun's eyes were still fixed on the smoke in the distance, secretly thinking about his next plan.

He knew that although he lost today's battle, it was not the end, but the starting point for greater victories in the future.

"Pass the order down, reorganize the troops and prepare for the next enemy attack." Lin Zhongyun gave the order, his voice firm and calm.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would make Chagan Uli pay the price for his threat today.

As the order was conveyed, the soldiers moved quickly and rearranged their formation neatly.

Although their faces were still tired from the battle, everyone's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. Lin Zhongyun walked forward and inspected each soldier, his eyes full of encouragement and trust.

"We have gone through difficult battles and everyone is very tired, but please believe that all this is for our future!" Lin Zhongyun's voice echoed on the battlefield, inspiring everyone.

He knew that morale was the most important factor in a battle. Only by making the soldiers feel united and hopeful could they exert greater strength in the next battle.

"We are not fighting alone, Li Zhongwu's army is on the way. As long as we hold on, we will make the enemy pay a price in the next battle!" Lin Zhongyun's voice was like a war drum, inspiring the soldiers' hearts. Everyone responded and shouted in unison, and morale instantly boosted.

"Prepare bows and arrows, check weapons, and make sure everyone can give their all in the next battle!" Lin Zhongyun continued to command, his eyes firm and powerful.

He was secretly planning his next move in his mind, and he had to give the enemy a fatal blow when they let their guard down.

As time went on, the rebel soldiers gradually reorganized and order was restored on the battlefield.

Lin Zhongyun stood on a high place, looking into the distance, silently calculating the enemy's movements in his mind.

He knew that Chagan Uli's retreat did not mean the end of victory, but the beginning of a battle of wits and courage between the two sides.

"We must be prepared to meet the enemy's challenge at any time." Lin Zhongyun secretly vowed that no matter how the enemy changes, he will lead the rebel army to the other side of victory.

Looking at everyone who was cleaning up everything, Lin Zhongyun turned back to the big tent, his expression immediately becoming gloomy.

The atmosphere inside the big tent was in stark contrast to the busyness outside. The laughter and chatter of the soldiers could be heard outside, but Lin Zhongyun's heart was like rolling waves, difficult to calm down.

Although he had just stabilized the morale of the army, he understood that all this was only a stopgap measure. Before long, without food and supplies, panic would sweep in again.

That was their most difficult time. Although the morale of the soldiers was temporarily restored, if there was a shortage of food and grass, hunger and fear would quickly erode their confidence.

"Damn it! I didn't expect the northern barbarians' real target was the baggage!" His heart was boiling with rage. He clenched his fists tightly and slammed them on the table. Wood chips flew everywhere and the sound echoed in the big tent.

Lin Zhongyun's eyes looked through the falling dust, as if he saw the impending crisis.

He knew very well that in this battle, what they would lose was not only supplies, but also the capital to continue the battle. Losing the baggage meant that they would lose the ability to continue the resistance.

He sat at the table, brows furrowed, secretly thinking about the current situation.

Now he still didn't know what was going on with Li Zhongwu, and when he could reunite with him. Without baggage, they couldn't drag on any longer, and they had to find a solution as soon as possible.

As he expected, Chagan Wuli retreated because this was not their main force. His judgment was undoubtedly correct, but now calculating the time, Chagan Wuli's main force will soon arrive.

Lin Zhongyun's heart couldn't help but tighten. The moment when the enemy would gather strength again was approaching. It wouldn't be long before Chagan Uli would definitely launch another attack. At that time, they would face an even more severe test.

"I must take action tonight at the latest." He decided secretly in his heart. The urgency of time was like a sharp blade, forcing him to make a choice.

In other words, he and the Northern Barbarians were about to make a decision. He looked through the curtain of the tent, at the mountains in the distance, and secretly thought about how to deal with it.

"Am I just going to sit there and wait for death?" he muttered to himself, becoming more and more anxious.

If he were to ask himself honestly, he really didn't expect that the Northern Barbarians would come up with such an idea, which was not even giving him a chance to delay.

The enemy not only put pressure on him materially, but also besieged him psychologically.

He stood up suddenly, walked to the edge of the tent, and looked through the tent at the busy soldiers.

Every tired face reminded him that time waits for no one. He must make a decision as soon as possible and cannot hesitate any longer.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his gaze couldn't help but fall in the direction of Li Zhongwu. Now he could only hope that Li Zhongwu could come and meet him as soon as possible.

……

At the same time, Li Zhongwu had already led a team of light cavalry and arrived here as soon as possible.

However, Li Zhongwu's actions had already been seen by Hailanhak who had ambushed him in advance.

"Wow, I didn't expect that the Khan would actually do this." Seeing the flames rising into the sky in the distance, Hailanhak couldn't help but be amazed.

The intensity of the frontal battlefield was far beyond his imagination, but the more intense it was, the happier he felt.

Because the more this happens, the more both the rebel army and Chagan Uli will suffer losses, and he will be able to sit back and relax and stand till the end.

But at this moment, a panicked figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, staggering as if drunk.

He was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw that the staggering person was none other than his close confidant, Hailan Tesh.

At this moment, Hailan Tesh's face turned pale with fear, and he shouted loudly: "Khan... It's bad... We have fallen into a trap..." (End of this chapter)
