The Prodigal Son

Qin Yu and his men retreated.

Without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if hesitating even for a moment longer would be disrespectful to these tens of thousands of elite cavalry.

Watching Qin Yu and the others quickly retreat, Shen Tu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly.

It was indeed a feint!

Qin Yu wanted to scare them away so that his main force could quickly wipe out their reinforcements!

Fortunately, they were not scared off.

Otherwise, I really won't be able to explain myself when I get back.

As the army continued its pursuit, a group of cavalrymen suddenly appeared on the distant land, ready for battle.

Shen Tu Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately roared, "Order to halt the advance!"

Under Shen Tu Hong's command, his cavalry quickly stopped about a mile away from Qin Yu's troops.

Neither side made any unauthorized moves.

Shentu Hong frowned as he looked at the troops ahead. Qin Yu had quite a few men at his disposal!

Roughly estimated, there should be four or five thousand people.

Qin Yu clearly had so many soldiers, so why did he only take such a small number of men to intercept them just now?

Now that they have launched a full-scale attack, why is Qin Yu letting these people reappear?

Qin Yu could have used himself as bait to hide these people and then ambush them when they entered the ambush area. What is this now?

Furthermore, Qin Yu has far more than just this many men under his command!

Where did their remaining forces go?

Did they hide? Or did they split into two groups to launch a surprise attack on the reinforcements?

At this moment, Shen Tu Hong had absolutely no idea what Qin Yu was trying to do.

It felt like every step Qin Yu took was suspicious.

He wanted to charge forward recklessly, but he was afraid of being ambushed.

This situation—where he dared not fight freely but could not retreat—made Shen Tu Hong extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that Qin Yu and his men had no intention of launching an attack, Shen Tu Hong immediately ordered, "Send several teams to scout in all directions!"

Although he didn't think Qin Yu was as powerful as Ji Lianhuan claimed, he still had to be careful.

After all, their soldiers had just been terrified by Ning Huang's two extremely terrifying sword strikes.

If we are ambushed again, our morale will collapse, and we will surely lose this battle!

Well, let's just do it to give Ning Huang some face!

Shen Tu Hong comforted himself in his heart.

He would never admit that he was afraid of Qin Yu.

Under Shen Tu Hong's orders, several hundred-man cavalry units immediately began scouting on the left and right flanks respectively.

Seeing the enemy's movements, Qin Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The enemy general is indeed quite cautious.

Damn it, if you're afraid of this and that, why don't you just leave!

Why bother fighting to the death?

You're out of your mind!

Qin Yu cursed inwardly, then ordered Pei Xiao and Han Chong to be summoned. "Wait for my orders. If you must retreat, lead your troops to retreat immediately!"

"So you're already preparing to leave?"

Pei Xiao glanced at the enemy troops and said, "In my opinion, the enemy is currently in a state of panic. We can fight a small battle first and then retreat."

"Screw you!"

Qin Yu glared at him. "The enemy is on high alert right now, and this isn't the time to attack! You two listen carefully: if you dare to dawdle when I order a retreat, I'll twist your heads off and use them as chamber pots!"

Meeting Qin Yu's gaze, the two trembled and hurriedly shouted, "Your subordinates obey!"

Looking at Qin Yu's expression, Nan Que'er couldn't help but smile.

This guy is starting to look more and more like a general.

Time passed little by little.

Seeing that the enemy's scouts had begun to return, Qin Yu finally gave the order to retreat.

Having received Qin Yu's earlier warning, Pei Xiao and Han Chong dared not be negligent and immediately began to lead their troops to retreat upon receiving the order.

"They withdrew again?"

Shen Tu Hong and Yin Ye exchanged a silent glance, their faces filled with confusion.

What exactly is Qin Yu up to?

Filled with doubt, Shen Tu Hong dared not advance rashly and could only wait quietly.

About fifteen minutes later, all the personnel sent to investigate returned and reported the findings to Shen Tu Hong.

There were no ambushes!

cheated!

Qin Yu is deliberately stalling for time!

The rest of his troops must have gone to launch a surprise attack on the reinforcements!

The longer this drags on, the more advantageous it will be for Qin Yu and his group!

"That little brat is indeed a bit cunning!"

Shen Tu Hong cursed and gave the order to advance again.

Soon, their army was mobilized again.

However, after advancing less than ten miles, they once again encountered Qin Yu's army.

Several thousand people formed an assault formation, seemingly wanting to engage them in a real battle.

Just as Shentu Hong was about to give the order to attack, Yin Ye suddenly spoke up to stop him: "General, the enemy could have easily gone much further, but they suddenly stopped and formed an attack formation. Be careful, it might be a trap!"

Shen Tu Hong frowned and looked around at his surroundings.

The enemy is now in open territory.

But there is a grove of trees not far away.

Could there be an ambush in the forest?

Shen Tu Hong hesitated for a moment, then ordered the army to halt its advance and send men to scout ahead again.

This delay lasted for nearly 15 minutes.

When their scouts returned, Qin Yu led his troops in retreat once again.

Once he confirmed there were no ambushes in the woods, Shentu Hong glared at Yin Ye with annoyance. "The enemy guessed you'd think that way and deliberately stalled for time here! If they keep dragging this out, that reinforcement will be completely wiped out!"

Yin Ye's face stiffened slightly, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Shen Tu Hong is telling the truth, what can he say?

Shentu Hong ignored Yin Ye and roared angrily, "All troops, launch a surprise attack!"

With Shen Tu Hong's order given, the army moved once again.

After chasing for another ten miles or so, they once again saw Qin Yu's troops, who were waiting in full battle array.

"Using this trick again?"

Shen Tu Hong's face turned ashen.

This time, Shen Tu Hong didn't give Yin Ye a chance to speak at all, and directly ordered the entire army to press forward.

They've been held up for over an hour now!

If we let Qin Yu drag this out any longer, we might as well turn around and return to Yiling.

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of elite cavalry roared and charged toward Qin Yu and his men with murderous intent.

A cunning smile flashed across Qin Yu's face, then he shouted the order: "Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu spurred his horse and charged out.

"kill!"

Behind Qin Yu, four thousand elite cavalrymen, lances raised, roared and charged toward the enemy.

Although their troop strength was far inferior to that of the enemy, their morale was by no means weak.

Amidst shouts of battle, the two sides' cavalry clashed swiftly.

Qin Yu unleashed the strength of the peak of the seventh realm. As his blade swept across, an enemy soldier's head flew into the sky.

Qi Dachui and Qin Yu's personal guards followed Qin Yu closely, charging through the enemy ranks.

Ning Huang moved as if he were in an empty field. He didn't even draw his battle sword; he simply raised his hand and waved his true energy.

Each burst of true energy could claim the lives of dozens or even more enemies.

A drop of blood spurted into Ning Huang's hand. With a flick of his wrist, the drop of blood pierced the throat of a Min Kingdom cavalryman like a sharp arrow.

Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel secretly envious.

Damn it, he got fooled again!

There's no way to have a good time with this kind of arrogant person.

However, Ning Huang does have the ability to show off!

Although the enemy troops in front of him were as numerous as ants, a vacuum appeared around him.

Just as the two sides were engaged in fierce fighting, a deafening battle cry arose from the flank and rear of the Min Kingdom cavalry.

"kill……"

Upon hearing the shouts of battle coming from the flank, Shen Tu Hong's expression suddenly changed.

Got it!

We've fallen for their trap!

This time there really was an ambush!
