320: run!

"Charge!" Wang Da Tou roared!

The Qin Army advanced like a broken bamboo!

The 100,000 cavalry he led this time were all elites!

Moreover, the 100,000 cavalry outnumbered the enemy by several times, so as soon as the two armies made contact, the situation tilted to one side.

In just half an incense stick of time, tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry scattered and fled, leaving behind only Xiongnu corpses and warhorses.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Wang Da Tou laughed loudly. This trip was not in vain!

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw another line of cavalry charging towards them from a distance!

"Haha, I didn't expect an extra meal!

It seems I'll be eating until my mouth is dripping with oil today!" Wang Da Tou's smile grew wider.

"All troops prepare..." Wang Da Tou shouted excitedly, but when the Xiongnu cavalry got closer, Wang Da Tou's expression suddenly changed drastically!

He saw a tide of Xiongnu cavalry surging forward, kicking up a sky full of dust, and the end of the cavalry was nowhere in sight!

He finally understood why Lin Yue was so desperate to retreat!

There were no less than 300,000 cavalry among the pursuers! And countless more cavalry were rushing towards them from all directions.

The waters here were too deep; whoever didn't run would die!

"Run!" Wang Da Tou yelled at the top of his lungs... "Why are you running so fast? What about those fifty-odd merits? You really don't want them anymore?" Lin Yue asked, chasing on his warhorse.

"What if Wang Da Tou realizes what's happening if we don't run?" Wang Zhi laughed.

"No, what about those fifty-odd merits? Are they just thrown away for nothing? You really don't mind?" Lin Yue felt somewhat incredulous.

"Are you stupid?" Wang Zhi looked at Lin Yue with an unreadable expression, then sighed and said, "I'm a Supervisor. What do I need military merits for? Can I get promoted by relying on merits?"

Then he turned his head and rode forward, no longer wanting to talk to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue was speechless at his words. After a long pause, he said, "Then why are you collecting ears? Do you have a collecting habit?"

Wang Zhi turned back and asked, "What's a collecting habit?"

"If they're useless, why are you collecting ears? They're bloody. Aren't you the one who likes cleanliness the most?" Lin Yue asked.

"Are you stupid?" Wang Zhi sighed again, saying, "They're useless to me, but useful to others!

I see whose family is in difficulty, or who is about to retire, and then distribute them as needed.

Do you know that sometimes the military merit from just one head can determine how many more acres of land you get after returning home, and can also determine whether you go home to farm or get a position like 'Qiu Dao' or 'Ting Zhang'? Doesn't that secure your future life?"

"Haven't you always been in the palace? How do you know all this?" Lin Yue asked, somewhat curious.

"I am in the palace, but I'm not deaf and blind," Wang Zhi said, a bit exasperated.

He often disguised himself as a commoner to gather information in Xianyang City, so he was very familiar with these matters, even more so than Lin Yue.

Lin Yue once again felt insulted. After some thought, he said, "Then aren't you falsely reporting military merits?"

"What do I do?" Wang Zhi sighed once more, then vigorously spurred his warhorse, not wanting to have any more conversation with Lin Yue.

Lin Yue rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward.

He was in charge of this kind of thing. A difference of dozens of military merits was nothing to him, not to mention he really had that many military merits.

No one could say otherwise. Not to mention how much support Wang Zhi's action would gain from the Soldiers.

Just to report him for favoritism and malfeasance, but the Supervisor happened to be the one who handled such injustices. Was Wang Zhi supposed to personally say, "Who in the hall is accusing this official?"

Lin Yue imagined that scene and couldn't help but find it amusing. Then he also sped up to catch up with the Army.

He looked back and saw that the pursuers had fallen a long distance behind them. Lin Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed Wang Da Tou had done well.

He just didn't know how he was doing now.

"Don't worry, his cavalry, though not as good as your White Horse Righteous Cavalry, are also elites of the Great Wall Legion. It won't be difficult for him to escape," Wang Zhi's voice drifted from ahead.

Lin Yue nodded. Wang Da Tou had been through many battles and wouldn't fail to understand, so he relaxed.

Their White Horse Righteous Cavalry rode for a few more miles when suddenly a lone rider charged towards them.

"Who goes there!" Liu Sandao roared angrily.

"My name is Su Kai! I am a scout sent by the Young Master and the Great General!

I'm here specifically to meet you. Follow me; I know the route!" The Qin Army scout shouted from a distance.

"How can I trust you?" Lin Yue asked.

"Please follow!" The Qin Army scout suddenly said.

"What?" Lin Yue's face was full of question marks.

"Yes, it's him!" Wang Zhi suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

Everyone looked at Wang Zhi with puzzled expressions.
