The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Yue Fengting, who was in the distance, looked at the fleeing enemy in a panic. He stood there in a daze, unable to come to his senses for a long time. He had never imagined that the Liaoxia army that swept across the entire western Liaoning area would be defeated like this.

He never thought that the war could be fought this way. He saw the strange smoke bomb. It was because the smoke bomb blocked the enemy's sight that the ambushing army could easily kill into the enemy's camp.

Even if the enemy discovered their tracks, they were powerless to stop them. That was why they beat the enemy without any chance to fight back.

After several hours of fighting, more than 30,000 of the 100,000-strong army were wiped out, including those who escaped and the 7,000 killed before, leaving more than 50,000 people captured.

After the war, Chu Chengrui's side lost about six to seven thousand people, of which more than three thousand were casualties caused by the attempt to stop Jiang Lige.

Chu Chengrui had to admire Jiang Lige for being so good. He managed to escape under such a disadvantage and yet caused such heavy casualties on their side.

Of course, most of the casualties were from the former Zhenxi Army, and the casualties of the army he brought from Dayan were almost zero. From this point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army was still much weaker than that of the Dayan Army.

This battle was equivalent to the annihilation of the Liaoxia army, with only less than 5,000 enemy troops escaping.

As for the fleeing enemy, Yue Fengting didn't know whether they could escape Chu Chengxiong's ambush. If they ran into Chu Chengxiong, he would have no way out.

On the other side, the 120,000 people led by Chu Chengxiong were divided into 12 teams behind the Liaoxia Army, directly spreading a huge net and blocking the enemy's retreat in a carpet-style manner.

As he waited for the news, he soon heard a signal flare going up in front of him. He knew it was the message that the enemy's fleeing army had been discovered.

With a slight smile on his face, he quickly conveyed the order to the other troops to encircle them. He personally led the army there.

Jiang Lige had just escaped from the encirclement for thirty miles. He did not dare to stay. Even though he was exhausted, he was afraid of being pursued. He had to rush back to the nearest city as soon as possible to rest.

He had to send the news back as soon as possible. Now, his army only had 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers guarding the cities. It would be difficult for him to occupy western Liaoning again!

After all, he was sure that the enemy troops fighting against him this time had at least 100,000 men, maybe even more. If he didn't find a way to deal with such a large army that he had no way of defeating, then he would have to give up the Liaoxi land!

But just when he rushed out not far, suddenly, a group of 10,000 cavalrymen appeared in front of him, and their retreat was blocked.

The moment he saw the 10,000 cavalrymen, Jiang Lige wanted to rush over with his men, but now he had less than 5,000 soldiers. Not only that, they were also exhausted. How could they possibly be a match for the enemy?

Jiang Lige gritted his teeth. Although he was very unwilling, he knew that he could not fight the opponent head-on, so he quickly gave the order to turn around.

He didn't know where the soldiers in front of him came from, but he knew that they were here to intercept him. He couldn't have imagined that the enemy could actually predict that he would be defeated. A deep fear surged in his heart.

Following his order, the remaining Liaoxia troops quickly turned around and rushed in another direction, their speed increasing slightly.

Even though they were exhausted, they had no time to rest and could only flee desperately.

However, what surprised Jiang Lige was that the army behind them had no intention of pursuing them, but instead slowly approached them.

This situation made Jiang Lige's face change slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt that the other party might have more than just these people, and there might be ambushes in the direction he was heading.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he hurriedly gave orders again and continued to rush forward. If he fled sideways like this, even if there were more people on the opposite side, they might not be able to stop him.

But as he rushed forward, the premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. He always felt like he was walking into an enemy trap.

But at this moment he had no time to think, and he felt that he had reached his limit, or rather, their fleeing army had also reached its limit.

The war horses they were riding began to pant, and it wouldn't be long before the horses they were riding would die of exhaustion.

But he could only hold on, his whole body in an extremely tense state. Time passed little by little, and after running for about two quarters of an hour, Jiang Lige was horrified to find that a group of people in front had blocked their way.

The team seemed to be about 10,000 people, but it seemed that they were not cavalry, but infantry.

Seeing this scene, countless thoughts emerged in Jiang Lige's mind. They were nearly 5,000 cavalrymen, and if possible, they might be able to break out of the opposite encirclement.

However, their current state is not right. Once they are blocked, the breath in their chests may be lost. At that time, their combat effectiveness will be reduced exponentially. Not to mention rushing through the ambush on the opposite side, they may even be trapped in it forever.

Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision, turned around again and rushed to the other side. Although this direction might lead to encountering another wave of enemies chasing him from behind, he believed that he should be able to avoid it.

But just as he led his soldiers to rush towards this side, less than a quarter of an hour later, another group of ten thousand soldiers appeared in front of them.

When Jiang Lige saw this group of people, he felt like he was about to collapse, and the soldiers under his command were about to collapse as well. They were fleeing like this, but it seemed that no matter where they went, they would encounter the enemy.

They really couldn't figure out how many enemies there were! Why did it feel like there were enemies everywhere in this area?

Moreover, judging from their unhurried state, they seemed to be playing tricks on him. He was not in a hurry to attack them, but was instead driving them around.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige knew that the enemy was driving them like stray dogs, and would eventually tire them to death here.

A surge of rage surged in his heart. He shouted to his men, then rushed towards the troops in front with his remaining soldiers.

He decided not to hide anymore. Being played around like this would only exhaust their physical and mental strength, and the other side would win without a fight.

His soldiers saw this and knew that hiding any longer would only lead to a worse situation, so many of them rushed towards the troops ahead, howling. However, some of them were on the verge of mental collapse.

Although they were forced by the army to rush towards the army in front, they no longer had much will to fight.

Seeing the enemy rushing over, the army immediately began to fight back. Not only that, the surrounding armies also began to quickly surround this side. They formed a siege.
