What kind of emperor's son is he?
Chapter 1324 What kind of emperor's son is he?
After climbing a long mountain path, they reached firing range, immediately assembled a small throwing device, and threw five packets of gunpowder, hitting Bei Qidewei right where he was.
There was no way around it; this guy was dressed in the best clothes and heavily guarded. Anyone with eyes could tell he was a prime target.
Five packets of gunpowder, each weighing three pounds, weighing a total of fifteen pounds, were fired simultaneously, blowing up people and objects within a ten-meter radius.
The warhorses were startled again, neighing and running wildly, trampling hundreds of enemy soldiers with a series of thuds, even trampling out their internal organs.
For a time, screams, cries for help, and calls for help filled the area where Bei Qidewei was located.
The search party consisted of royal guards: "Royal Wei, guards, where are you? Shout it out! All surviving royal guards and assassins, assemble immediately and rescue the Royal Wei! The Royal Wei must be nearby!"
He's gone. He flew away and scattered all over the place. If you want to find him, you'll have to crawl on the ground and pick him up slowly.
However, A'anyetai was still alive, but he was almost done for. He was a brave man, and he was afraid that his family would be punished because of the death of Beiqidewei and become slaves of the East. He used his last breath to take out the command arrow.
Whoosh, bang!
The command arrow was released, its red color accompanied by a wisp of golden smoke, and it exploded in the air.
"Oh no! The enemy is calling for reinforcements. There must be more enemy troops lurking nearby. Quickly release the command arrow to notify Commander Dai and the others to kill the enemy and send reinforcements to help us, lest we be surrounded by enemy reinforcements!" Mu Er shouted, already taking out the command arrow and sending it into the sky.
With a whoosh and a bang, the command arrow burst open, releasing a puff of smoke.
"Assemble! Form ranks! Continue fighting to cover Commander Jiang!"
However, it's no longer needed.
Jiang Dalang shouted, "Blitzkrieg complete! Retreat immediately and rejoin the main force! Anyone who lingers in battle, behead them!"
Upon receiving the order, Xu Sanjun, Miao Man, Yao Dayan, and their other trusted men immediately spurred their horses down the wasteland, turned their horses around, and galloped back.
Mu Er was shocked: "It's finished already? What about the cargo? Aren't you going to check it? Aren't you going to take the body back? That's a military achievement!"
"Shut up, or I'll chop you up!" General Mu was truly dumbfounded. How could this idiot be his brother?
"All Wei troops, retreat back to camp and assemble. Those who linger will be executed!" Mu shouted, spurring his horse to gallop backward, ahead of Jiang Dalang and the others.
But Jiang Dalang and his men were excellent riders. After a few leaps, they flew past Mu Dazongqi and his men.
But this time, a message came: "Ignore the enemy cavalry in front, take a detour, and wait until you join up with the main force before attacking them head-on!"
"Understood!" Commander Mu shouted. "Those who hear this order, repeat it so that Commander Tao and the others can hear it!"
"Yes!" The soldiers under his command immediately repeated the words. When Lao Tao, the centurion, and the mountain people and wolves who were still fighting with Bei Qider and his men heard this, they immediately retreated while fighting.
"Bei Qidewei, a member of the Eastern Desert royal family, has been killed by the Wei army's weapons!!" Jiang Dalang and Xu Sanjun shouted this.
Worried that the enemy wouldn't understand and their formation wouldn't be disrupted quickly enough, Jiang Dalang even shouted in the Eastern Desert language.
Beiqidel, along with the few hundred surviving cavalrymen, were stunned. Recalling the thunderous roar from earlier, they looked back and saw only chaos.
"Return to defend immediately and save the Wei royal family!" Bei Qideer seized the opportunity to issue the retreat order.
The weapon was too dangerous; he didn't want to die.
The cavalry from the northern deserts, not wanting to die, retreated en masse.
The western cavalry were in a panic: "Quickly return to defense and protect the young chieftain of the Western Chier clan!"
west Chi'er retreated with Bei Qi Dewei. If Bei Qi Dewei were killed by a sharp weapon, then their young clan leader...
Unable to believe it, the western cavalry hurriedly charged back.
"Abandon the horses, go up the mountain, and take the mountain path to avoid being killed by the enemy forces of the Beiqi Dela tribe!" Jiang Dalang ordered again.
Although Mu Er and his companions were reluctant to abandon their warhorses, it was the best way to escape.
"Don't worry about the warhorses, save your lives first. We'll come back for the horses after the main army wipes out the tens of thousands of cavalry from Beiqide La! Retreat!" shouted Lao Tao, the centurion, and Mu, the chief captain. The soldiers suppressed their pain and climbed diagonally up the mountain, following the narrow path, heading towards the Wei army.
……
On a distant mountain, a force of five hundred men was hidden, with the royal family member in charge gazing at the battlefield.
You can't see the people, but you can see the general situation of the battle.
"The Rong royal family, Bei Qidewei has issued a distress signal. Should we go to rescue him?" A soldier from the supervisory team came over to report, adding, "After all, he is the emperor's son."
The royal family member overseeing the battle sneered: "What kind of prince is he? He's nothing but a hostage. And he didn't even behave like a hostage. He actually tried to use the north and the war to destroy Wei to become a recognized prince and escape his hostage status! He has betrayed the royal family and deserves to die!"
"He could have escaped, but he didn't because of his ambition."
“He is ambitious and dares to act, which is a good thing. If he had succeeded, the royal family would have accepted him, but he failed.”
If you fail, you must accept your fate.
"If this royal family were to rescue a piece of trash who is being besieged and killed by the lowly Liang Wei, it would be tantamount to acknowledging his royal status and placing his humiliation upon the royal family!"
Thump, thump, thump. The entire supervisory team knelt down, especially the one who had delivered the message and reminded him to go to the rescue. He even drew his sword and slashed his own hand: "This servant is guilty. I almost tarnished the royal family's reputation. I beg the royal family to grant this servant death to fulfill this servant's wish!"
No, does that mean you have to die?
The royal family member nodded: "Considering this is your first offense, I will grant you the right to commit suicide. You will die for the loyalty of the Eastern Desert, and you and your family will receive honor."
"Thank you for your generosity, Royal Family." The man took off his helmet, immediately raised his sword, and slashed his own neck.
Blood gushed out, staining this small patch of ground red.
???
No, are you really going to die?
Why? I don't understand this behavior.
It's doing something I don't understand again.
The Rong royal family ordered: "Dismantle it; it is your military rations."
"Thank you for the royal family's generous gift!" The five hundred members of the supervisory team knelt down to express their gratitude, and then began to dismantle and cook on the mountain.
Good heavens, if you didn't know better, you'd think this was the underworld.
No, even the underworld isn't this outrageous!
But they felt no fear, only joy at receiving fresh meat.
???
He's your comrade-in-arms!
Sorry, there's no camaraderie in the Eastern Desert. Comrades and food can be switched at any time.
"Reporting to the Rong royal family, it has been confirmed that Bei Qidewei, A'anyetai, and Xichier in the west have all perished in battle."
After some time, another member of the supervisory team came to report.
Upon hearing this, the Rong royal family member's face, hidden beneath a sheepskin mask, darkened: "Leave fifty men to continue monitoring the situation. The rest of the troops, retreat three miles with this royal family member, in case that the lowly Liang Wei discovers the presence of the divine envoy's supervisory team."
"Yes, sir!" The supervising troops immediately carried out the order.
They moved extremely quickly; within fifteen minutes, only fifty people remained to guard the hilltop.
"Reporting to Commander Deng, Commander Jiang and his men have returned to camp safely. The blitzkrieg mission was a success. Bei Qidewei is dead, and it seems he was a member of the royal family!" The scout rode up and reported Jiang Dalang's blitzkrieg situation to Commander Deng.
"Is he really royalty?" Commander Deng was overjoyed and said, "Good, good, good, well done, eldest son! You always manage to achieve great results in your lightning strikes against the enemy!"
He then asked, "Where are they? How many casualties have we suffered?"
Scout: "We have arrived at the front lines."
