The Prodigal Son

"Report!"

A soldier galloped up on horseback, reporting, "General, a large force of enemy cavalry has appeared on the left flank of our unit!"

As the soldiers reported their situation, the shouts of battle grew even closer to their ears.

Shen Tu Hong looked up and saw a dark mass of cavalry charging out from their flanks and rear, kicking up clouds of dust.

Main force!

This is the main force of Qin Yu's troops!

Qin Yu did not send any troops to launch a surprise attack on that reinforcement force!

Qin Yu wants to eat them!

Shen Tu Hong panicked and, disregarding everything else, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Retreat! Retreat now!"

"Clang clang clang..."

Amidst a series of urgent sounds of retreat, Shentu Hong hastily led his troops to withdraw to the right rear.

The first time it beats, the second time it weakens, and the third time it's exhausted!

The morale of the Min Kingdom's cavalry, which had been repeatedly boosted, was broken several times. They already had little morale, and now that they realized they had been ambushed, their morale collapsed even faster.

Many soldiers, in their haste to escape, abandoned their weapons and fled in panic to the right rear following the general's flag.

"kill!"

Qin Yu swung his sword, killing an enemy soldier who couldn't escape in time, and roared hoarsely, "Charge! Charge!"

It's now!

Take advantage of the enemy's demoralized state and kill as many as you can!

Under Qin Yu's leadership, the morale of the Da Ning cavalry soared to unprecedented heights, and they charged towards the fleeing enemy soldiers with roars of excitement.

Strictly speaking, this was Qin Yu's first real entry into the battlefield.

In the previous surprise attack, the enemy forces were so small that he didn't even have time to warm up before the battle was over.

But this time, he is surrounded by a large number of enemies waiting to be killed!

The strong smell of blood seemed to stimulate Qin Yu's nerves, putting him in a state of extreme excitement.

Even though his body was covered in the blood of enemy soldiers, he was completely unaware.

Qi Dachui wielded his golden mace, following Qin Yu closely, cutting down enemy soldiers while protecting Qin Yu's safety.

On the other side, Xiong Quhu also led his cavalry to swiftly cut in from the side, severing the retreating Min cavalry in half.

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

Xiong Quhu's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he raised the heavy Xuanhua axe in his hand, weighing forty or fifty pounds.

brush!

With a single sweep of his axe, a Min Kingdom cavalryman was cleaved in two, blood and entrails gushing out and splattering all over Xiong Quhu's body and face.

Xiong Quhu, however, was completely oblivious, his eyes filled only with the thrill of killing.

The Da Ning cavalry behind Xiong Quhu were also filled with fighting spirit, charging towards the panicked Min Kingdom cavalry like vicious wolves.

The battle continued, with shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and cries of agony mingling together, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

When Shen Tu Hong ordered a retreat, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

About fifteen minutes later, the brief skirmish came to an end.

The battle cries gradually faded, leaving only sporadic skirmishes.

Occasionally, a few Min Kingdom cavalrymen who put up a stubborn resistance were swarmed by the Da Ning cavalry and hacked to death.

There were also some defeated soldiers hiding behind trees. Once they were found, they either surrendered or were killed on the spot.

Looking up, the corpses of men and horses almost covered the surrounding land.

A gust of wind blew by, and the strong smell of blood filled people's nostrils.

Fortunately, Qin Yu had already adapted to the battlefield in Chenzhou, otherwise he would probably feel nauseous right now.

Qin Yu subconsciously reached out to wipe the blood from his face, only to find that his hands were also covered in blood.

Qin Yu roughly shook his blood-stained hands and roared at Qin Xiong, "Pass down the order! Immediately clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded! Also, send men to scout in the direction the enemy retreated, to prevent them from launching a counterattack!"

"yes!"

Qin Xiong roared and left to receive the order, a hint of pride on his face.

In the previous battle in Chenzhou, some people said that Thirteen Young Master won by relying on his cleverness.

After today's battle, surely no one will dare to say that again?

They defeated an enemy force of over 10,000 with only 6,000 cavalry!

Moreover, their own casualties should not be significant.

At this moment, Xiong Quhu, carrying the still-dripping Xuanhua axe, approached Qin Yu with a broad smile.

However, with his face covered in blood, he looked like a ghost when he smiled.

"How did I do in this battle?"

Xiong Quhu bared his two front teeth, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Not bad! The timing was quite good."

Qin Yu nodded slightly, "You'll get the greatest credit for this battle!"

Xiong Quhu truly deserves the greatest credit.

Xiong Quhu's timing in leading his troops to break through was perfect, which quickly shattered the enemy's morale, allowing them to win easily.

"No, no! This credit definitely belongs to General Qin!"

Xiong Quhu waved his hands repeatedly, "This humble general is merely following orders."

"Oh, so you can suck up now, you bastard?"

Qin Yu smiled. "If you're not seeking credit, what are you doing here right after the fight?"

"I wasn't flattering you, I was just stating the facts!"

Xiong Quhu snorted and puffed out his chest, saying, "I just want to tell you, I'm not a piece of trash!"

"Just for this?"

Qin Yu was surprised.

"right!"

Xiong Quhu nodded, his neck stiff, and said, "Although you're much stronger than I thought, I still refuse to accept it! After the war, if I'm still alive, you have to keep your promise and fight me again!"

It must be said that Qin Yu fought this battle brilliantly.

He perfectly exploited the enemy's psychology, not only defeating them with inferior forces but also minimizing his own casualties.

Tactically speaking, he was convinced!

But he still disagrees on the issue of individual ability!

"idiot!"

Qin Yu laughed and cursed, "Since you've said that, next time we encounter the enemy, I'll send you alone to fight tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and see if you can survive!"

Xiong Quhu's face stiffened. "I believe you're not that kind of person!"

"You talk like you know me so well!"

Qin Yu curled his lip and waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost! Go find something to wipe your face. Don't you have any self-awareness about the state you're in?"

"Fine, I'm leaving!"

Just as Xiong Quhu was about to leave, he turned back to look at Qin Yu, grinning and saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover, you should take a piss and see what you look like!"

After saying that, Xiong Quhu immediately took off running, afraid that Qin Yu would catch up and beat him up.

Watching Xiong Quhu dart away faster than a rabbit, Qin Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This guy is quite a character.

However, he really has a sharp tongue!

"Go ahead and wipe yourself clean! You're really not much better than Xiong Quhu."

Nan Que'er smiled and came closer, taking out her embroidered handkerchief to wipe the blood from Qin Yu's face.

Qin Yu smiled at Nan Que'er and teased, "Why don't you have much blood on you? Were you slacking off?"

"I need a chance too!"

Nan Que'er rolled her eyes at him, "So many people protected me, there wasn't even a chance for blood to splatter on me..."

Half of Qin Yu's personal guards are protecting her!

It's obvious that Qin Yu must have given prior instructions.

"Yes, that's good!"

Qin Yu laughed and patted her hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Go and help treat the seriously injured. Every life you can save is a life you can save."

"Um."

Nan Que'er nodded gently, stuffed the blood-stained embroidered handkerchief into Qin Yu's hand, and quickly walked towards the seriously wounded person not far away...
