Just when everyone was in a quandary, a scout's panicked voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"To all the generals, a large contingent of Jin troops has suddenly appeared ten miles outside our camp and is charging straight towards us at full speed. Scouts were sent to negotiate, but none returned. I urge all generals to make a swift decision!"

These words chilled everyone in the tent.

As expected, the prince's tactics have arrived.

The Golden Army, that is the blade that slays them.

"The Crown Prince is truly unfeeling!"

A general gritted his teeth and snarled, "Since he's been unjust first, don't blame us for being unkind. I agree with General Chen; let's defect to the Liao army!"

"That's right, even if the flood is raging, it's better than dying!"

"It seems this is the only way."

The news of the Jin army's appearance made the high-ranking officials of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry, who were still hesitant, immediately make up their minds.

Instead of sitting idly and waiting for death, it's better to directly join the Liao army. At least, you might be able to survive.

After the decision was made, everyone immediately looked to General Chen.

"General Chen, what do we do now Should we fight" someone asked.

General Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the three unnamed generals.

The three generals' faces were extremely grim.

Before they could explain, General Chen said, "Please, the three of you lead five thousand soldiers to delay the Golden Army. How"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood.

These three men were unwilling to defect to the Liao army.

The three generals' faces changed.

At this point, leaving five thousand men to delay the Jin army was no different from sending them to their deaths.

"General Chen, we..."

"Three wouldn't you"

General Chen's cold words instantly brought a chilling atmosphere to the tent.

The other generals immediately stepped back several paces, subtly surrounding the three of them.

An hour ago, we were comrades. But now, because of our different choices, we can only be enemies.

A general tried to argue, but another man grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice, “The three of us are willing to stay behind and cover your retreat.”

General Chen nodded and said, "Three of you, your choices are different, so your stances are naturally different. Since the three of you have other plans, then today we should part ways amicably. It's not in vain that we've worked together for so many years. Please go."

The three men looked dejected, but didn't say anything. They bowed and then left the tent.

General Chen narrowed his eyes, a flash of killing intent passing through them, but it vanished quickly.

"General Chen, these three people are not on our side. Perhaps..."

Someone suggested, General Chen shook his head and said, "We do need someone to stay behind to delay the Jin army."

Taking a deep breath, General Chen said solemnly, “Everyone, immediately go back and gather your troops, and retreat at once! At most half an hour, they will be within ten miles. By then, it will be too late to leave. Now, run if you can. Burn everything that cannot be taken with you on the spot. Act quickly!”

At the command, the entire camp descended into chaos.

Most ordinary soldiers were unaware of the specifics, they only knew something major had occurred. Still, relying on years of ingrained instinct, they diligently obeyed their officers' orders. When ordered to march, they set off immediately.

And they didn't know that, right on the road leading from their camp to the battlefield in Suiyang County, a force that had just fought a major battle arrived and was resting there.ect several months ago. During this time, his safe house in Beijing and intelligence were all provided by him.""That's good."Nodding, suppressing the surging killing intent in his heart, Li Chen said...
