283: Chasing Uroli
“Charge!” The Yang Clan Generals chased after him!
After a violent jolt, Wuluoli finally regained his senses.
“Chaji?” Wuluoli looked at the scene before him and asked softly. He could only vaguely see half of Chaji’s back, swaying up and down, making it hard to see clearly.
“Your Highness, run! The Qin Army is catching up!” Chaji said with an anxious look.
“Did we lose?” Wuluoli asked.
Chaji paused for a moment before saying, “No, we haven’t lost. As long as you are safe, we are victorious!”
Chaji was right. The 200,000 North Sea Cavalry might have been defeated, but three to five tens of thousands would always escape. The Xiongnu had a vast empire, and human lives were cheap. Losses were losses, and the Xiongnu could afford them!
But Wuluoli’s capture would be a devastating blow to the entire Xiongnu!
Because in his and the Qin Army’s eyes, Wuluoli was five million warhorses and four million cattle and sheep!
Even if their Xiongnu empire was vast, they couldn’t afford to lose that twice in half a year!
Compared to these, using 200,000 North Sea Cavalry to cover Wuluoli’s escape couldn’t be called a small loss; it was a huge gain! So, as long as Wuluoli could escape, it would be a victory!
Wuluoli’s mouth was bitter upon hearing this, and his face showed a sense of defeat.
“Enemy general, don’t run!” Yang Yansi, the Seventh Son, shouted!
Both of them looked back at the same time, only to see that Lin Yue and the others were almost upon them.
“Your Highness, I’ll cover you, you run!” Chaji shouted.
As a First-rate Military General, he was injured and carrying the warhorse and Wuluoli, a weight of about a thousand catties. He could run for a while, but prolonged running was taking its toll.
His speed was getting slower and slower, and Lin Yue and the others were getting closer and closer. At this point, only by covering them himself could he buy Wuluoli a chance to escape!
“Alright, but how do I get down?” Wuluoli asked.
Upon receiving the order, Chaji roared, swinging his arms forward with all his might. The warhorse, carrying Wuluoli, flew out like an arrow!
Wuluoli’s warhorse was indeed an earth-rank warhorse. At the moment it was about to land, it adjusted its hooves, landing steadily with Wuluoli, kicking up dust all around, and then galloping forward.
“Your Highness, don’t look back, no matter what happens, don’t look back! Run!” Chaji shouted.
Then he gripped his spear, ran wildly as if on wind, and faced the Qin Army alone!
“Kill!” Chaji roared.
“My lord, leave this person to This humble general!” General Yang Ye’s eyes were like torches, and he charged forward with his broadsword.
“Good, the rest of you come with me!” Lin Yue shouted.
“Understood!” The young Yang Clan Generals responded.
And General Yang Ye met Chaji!
General Yang Ye, riding a white steed, charged at Chaji, who was running on the ground. He swung his golden saber in a crescent shape, striking at Chaji.
Chaji dodged to the side with his spear, but the golden saber still collided with his spear, and he was sent flying over ten meters away by the huge impact!
Just as General Yang Ye was thinking of striking him down in one go,
The situation suddenly changed!
Just as Lin Yue was focused on chasing Wuluoli, a dark spear suddenly thrust towards Lin Yue!
Chaji was waiting for this opportunity!
When General Yang Ye charged at him, he deliberately dodged to the side closer to Lin Yue. Then, instead of firmly planting his feet on the ground, he used the impact force of General Yang Ye’s golden saber to fly towards Lin Yue.
It could be said that General Yang Ye, inadvertently, had given him a helping hand!
To catch the thief, first catch the king. In the instant Chaji flew backward and landed, his body rotated with the momentum, and he thrust towards Lin Yue without warning!
“Dong!”
Lin Yue was greatly surprised by the sudden turn of events. Before he could react, Yang Yande, the Fifth Son, who was beside him, quickly used his spear to block, but he was directly knocked away!
But Chaji’s spear did not stop. The strength of a First-rate Military General was naturally not something a Third-rate Military General like Yang Yande could withstand.
Lin Yue, seeing this, also hastily blocked with his saber. No one expected that in this situation, Chaji would feint and charge at him!
“Bang!”
Fortunately, at the critical moment, General Yang Ye’s golden saber flew in first, knocking Chaji back a few steps and giving Lin Yue a moment to breathe.
“My lord, I’ll handle this here!” General Yang Ye said.
Lin Yue nodded and once again chased in Wuluoli’s direction. Chaji sighed, having failed in his sneak attack, and there was no way to try again, so he could only fight with General Yang Ye and his golden saber.
Meanwhile, Wuluoli had already run off. Although he hadn’t completely shaken off Lin Yue, he had created some distance and, during his escape, had gathered a group of fleeing North Sea Cavalry, now numbering around a thousand!
But what made Wuluoli even more delighted was that among this group, A Leng was present!
Although A Leng didn’t particularly please him, and even annoyed him, there was no doubt that A Leng’s strength as a Third-rate Military General would assist him greatly in Wuluoli’s current escape!
In this situation, A Leng serving as a guard or a death warrior, protecting him while also covering the rear, was quite good!
“Your Highness, This humble general has finally found you!” A Leng said with an excited look.
“Good, I just need a fierce general like you to help. Hurry and follow me!” Wuluoli quickly said.
“Yes, Your Highness!” A Leng laughed upon hearing this, as if this wasn’t an escape but a relaxed hunting trip.
He had finally gained the favor of the young prince Wuluoli!
But just then, Wei Liang’s cavalry came head-on. Wuluoli turned his horse’s head in advance, making a semi-circular turn to avoid direct contact with Wei Liang.
However, the tail was too big to shake off. Some of the North Sea Cavalry were still swallowed up by Wei Liang’s cavalry, and the thousand-plus cavalry were suddenly reduced by seventy percent, leaving fewer than four hundred.
At this point, Lin Yue and Wei Liang also joined forces and caught up. They were now less than two hundred meters from Wuluoli, meaning they could catch up in just a few breaths.
“Split up! Everyone scatter! Otherwise, we’ll all die!” Wuluoli’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn’t help but shout.
The North Sea Cavalry responded immediately, and the force of over four hundred men instantly split into more than ten groups, scattering in a fan shape.
Lin Yue disdained such a petty trick, chuckled, and said, “The one in the red robe is Wuluoli!”
Soon, White Horse Righteous Cavalry loudly relayed Lin Yue’s words, their voices rising and falling, but the effect was remarkably good. No matter how Wuluoli scattered, everyone still chased only in Wuluoli’s direction!
As the saying goes, too many skills are never a burden. Some skills you might think are useless, but knowing an extra technique might come in handy someday!
Just like Wuluoli at this moment, he had diligently practiced qin language for the past six months, intending to better understand his opponents, but he never expected it to come in handy at this very moment!
“The one in the red robe is Wuluoli!”
The shouts of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry echoed across the vast grassland, and Wuluoli heard them clearly now!
He reached out to unbutton his red robe, raising it to throw it away, but stopped at the last moment.
“A Leng, put it on.” Wuluoli said in a deep voice.
“Hmm???”
