Chapter 1322 Royal Illegitimate Child
Bei Qidewei does indeed have another identity.
He was actually the son of the Eastern Desert Emperor left in the north... Emperors are all philanderers, especially in the Eastern Desert where there is an unwritten custom that each generation of Eastern Desert Emperors would visit various tribes and leave their children behind.
These children do not acknowledge their ancestors; they only help the Eastern Desert Emperor control the various tribes, but this child cannot become a tribal king.
The tribal king must be the biological son of the tribal king; otherwise, the tribes will cause trouble.
Because the Eastern Desert Emperor didn't care much about this, and the children couldn't seize the throne from the royal family, he could freely travel around to different tribes to sleep and have children.
The royal families and nobles of the various tribes felt that they were not at a disadvantage, but rather that they were the ones who benefited... after all, their tribe had obtained a prince as a hostage.
How should I put it?
Both sides felt they had gained an advantage; it's that absurd yet true.
That's why Bei Qi Dewei was heavily protected, and why Bei Qi Dela listened to him and went into battle when ordered to.
"Retreat! Retreat thirty meters!" Bei Qidewei suddenly ordered.
west Chi'er was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly raised his sword and looked around, asking, "Uncle of the Northern Royal Family, is there enemy troops approaching?!"
Bei Qidewei shook his head: "I don't know, but I feel that if we stay here for too long, we will be vulnerable to Liang Wei's long-range attacks. It would be better to move around."
Thump thump thump!
"By royal command, heroes of the Eastern Desert, retreat thirty meters!" Bei Qideer shouted, and ten thousand cavalrymen sprang into action, escorting Bei Qidewei as he retreated.
Xu Sanjun and his elite soldiers, who were lying in ambush on the nearby mountain, grew anxious. They gestured to Xu Sanjun, asking: "Commander, how much longer are we going to wait? Are we going to make a move or not? If we don't act soon, the cargo will escape!"
Our crossbows don't have that long a range.
Xu Sanjun had been trained by Jiang Dalang for several years, experienced the bandit suppression battle in the mountains, and received formal training in the Liang family army camp. He was no longer the same as before.
He quickly gestured: continue to lie in wait.
Upon seeing the gesture, the soldiers had no choice but to remain prone and motionless.
But he was very anxious, afraid that their infiltration would fail at the last minute!
But soon, they received help...
On the main road, Bei Qidewei and his men retreated thirty meters and re-formed a defensive formation, watching the battle between Bei Qidewei and the Wei army while remaining vigilant.
But Bei Qidewei still felt uneasy, as if someone was watching him.
Half an hour later, the feeling became even more acute.
It felt as if no one was staring at him anymore, but rather some sharp weapon was aimed at him.
Well, you're absolutely right.
"Retreat, retreat another hundred meters, it's not safe here!" Bei Qidewei ordered again.
This time, however, Bei Qide hesitated and reminded him, "Brother Wei, if we retreat another hundred meters, our communication with the front lines will be prolonged, and we won't be able to get timely military intelligence, and military orders will be delayed."
west Chi'er inwardly scoffed: "So afraid of death? We've already retreated thirty meters, and we're going to retreat another hundred? At this distance, even if the catapults come, they won't hit you. What are you afraid of?!"
"Listen to my command, retreat! Retreat!!" Bei Qidewei roared like a madman, "This is the Eastern Desert Emperor's decree!"
They even revealed their true identities, and the guards given to them by the Eastern Desert Emperor raised their crossbows, aiming them at the Northern Qider.
What can North Chidler do?
The only order was given: "Escort the Northern Royal General and retreat one hundred meters!"
"Yes," the cavalrymen replied, and had no choice but to spur their horses again and retreat to the back of the main road.
But the warhorse had only run a few meters...
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
A whooshing sound came from the side of the mountain behind.
"Oh no, enemy attack..."
Before he could finish speaking, rumble rumble rumble rumble!
A deafening roar of thunder exploded in their ears, a wave of heat swept over them, and the air was filled with a pungent smell, mixed with the aroma of charred meat.
Why does it smell like meat? Warm blood fell on them, followed by excruciating pain, and then screams of agony.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble!
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble!
Two more waves of bombing struck, leaving tens of thousands of enemy cavalry unable to regroup and launch a counterattack.
"Charge! Kill the royal family of the Eastern Desert and avenge the dead Wei soldiers and civilians!" Shouts of battle rang out as a hastily assembled army, composed of scouts, elite soldiers, the vanguard of the Wei army, and mountain tribesmen and wolves, charged from the right flank and the mountain wall.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Stop the enemy! Royal soldiers, follow me to escort General Wei away! We must not let General Wei fall into their hands!" Bei Qide Wei's bodyguard, A'anyetai, shouted in the Eastern Desert language.
However, in order to fight the war, many Wei soldiers were imprisoned and forced to learn the language of the Eastern Desert. Although they could not understand much of it, they memorized the words "royal family" perfectly. After all, the royal family had a heavy status and great merit, so they had to memorize them.
"Royal family! There's a royal family member from the Eastern Desert here! Heavens above! Ancestors! Your Majesty! We've caught a big fish! Charge! Charge! We'll capture the Eastern Desert royal family alive, even if it kills us!"
Mu Erzongqi's voice cracked from shouting.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dalang was so capable. Following him, not only did the surprise attack succeed, but we also landed a big one.
"Brother, royalty, a member of the royal family!" Mu Er was a good younger brother, so he instinctively called his older brother over to help catch the big fish.
General Mu: "Shut up, you idiot! Shouting like that on the battlefield, do you want to become a target?!"
My ancestors, why did they give me a brother with such a temper? I am a top-notch scout captain, I value swift action and have no idle chatter!
However, General Mu was also very excited. He quickly spurred his horse and led ten trusted soldiers towards the direction from which A'anyetai's voice came.
Don't shout randomly on the battlefield, as shouting will reveal your location. Mu Da Zongqi used sound to pinpoint Bei Qi Dewei.
However, having troops is faster than having a general's flag.
Whoosh whoosh!
The wind whistled around him, and several warhorses galloped past him.
What went by? Which team was it on?!
General Mu and his ten trusted soldiers were so startled that they reined in their horses and stopped, hurriedly saying, "Follow us and help!"
Whether or not we can catch the big cargo ourselves is not important. What is important is that we cannot let the enemy escape. Whoever takes the lead must be helped by the rest of the Wei army.
"Anyone who delays military operations for personal gain shall be executed!" General Mu shouted this, fearing that some Wei soldiers might be misled by bad intentions.
Whoosh whoosh!
It would expose one's location and attract a volley of enemy arrows.
Fortunately, they were excellent riders, quickly controlling their horses and leaning their bodies to dodge, successfully avoiding the enemy's arrow attacks.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Wei army had already engaged the enemy, and due to the three bombardments of sharp weapons, the warhorses were startled and trampled, resulting in more than half of the enemy cavalry being killed or wounded. The surviving enemy soldiers also lost their warhorses, and both sides were reduced to infantry, engaging in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
"Heroes of the Eastern Desert, assemble! We have many people in the Eastern Desert. Quickly form a formation, gather our forces, and we can counterattack these Wei soldiers!" Bei Qider shouted, but he also had his own selfish motives. He gathered his guards and dead soldiers around him, ready to escape at any time.
As I said before: dying for the Eastern Desert is the business of the Eastern lackeys. As a member of the royal family, he only needs to share the benefits, enjoy the good life, and claim military merits. He doesn't need to fight to the death.
The Eastern Desert soldiers were very strong and quickly assembled into formation to launch a counterattack.
But our army has powerful bombs.
"put!"
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble!
After a loud bang, the pungent smell of sulfur and the aroma of meat wafted out, and screams continued.
