Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 596: Heavy Rain, Escape

When leading his troops out of the siege, Yelu Sheng was already covered in blood.

Despite his injuries, he laughed heartily.

Hong Dulan had also caught up by this time.

"We must avenge this time!"

He gritted his teeth viciously.

Yelu Sheng nodded coldly.

"Let's go south and massacre the city!"

As long as they can break through the siege, they can leave quickly with the help of the mobility of their troops.

Just at this time, it started to rain heavily. It was already summer, although the summer in the north was not that hot.

But when the water vapor rises in the air and falls down, it also rains heavily.

With a loud thunder, heavy rain poured down, quickly soaking the ground.

The road began to become muddy, and at the same time, the traces left on the ground by their hasty retreat became difficult to discern.

"God help me too!"

Yelu Sheng looked at the rain falling from the sky and laughed out loud with excitement.

If it weren't for the heavy rain, they really wouldn't be able to escape!

The chariots behind them can pursue without sleep, but their horses must rest!

This natural disadvantage casts a shadow over everyone's heart.

But now all this is impossible.

According to Yelu Sheng's understanding, the fuel needed for Qin Ming's chariots was pulled from the rear by horse-drawn carriages.

But what if it rains heavily?

It will be difficult for their tanks to get fuel supplies!

Without fuel, it is simply a pipe dream to catch up with these nomadic cavalry!

Ye Shoujiang and Wu Qingye were also obviously aware of this situation.

They all stopped.

"General Ye, what should we do?"

As a junior, Wu Qingye likes to discuss any problems with Ye Shoujiang.

Ye Shoujiang said after thinking for a moment:

"No need to chase them, they can't get away."

"You mean His Majesty's side?"

"Yes, I heard Cao Chuan is here. What did he bring with him?"

"We didn't bring much with us, just some imperial artillery pieces and some reinforcements."

Wu Qingye always felt that this matter was a bit unreal.

It's raining heavily now, and it doesn't look like it will stop in the short term.

In such a harsh environment, can Qin Ming capture Yelu Sheng?

"enough."

Ye Shoujiang had experienced the great war in Yan Dynasty and had absolute confidence in Qin Ming.

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Go back and contact His Majesty. It's raining heavily now, and many of our intelligence transmission points in the wild have been affected by the rain. They are likely to malfunction."

Because the transmission distance of the telegraph is limited.

They would place an intelligence officer at regular intervals to help them exchange intelligence and pass it on to distant places.

But now heavy rain began to fall everywhere in the entire northern wilderness.

Ye Shoujiang and Wu Qingye need to go back and stabilize their intelligence transmission routes.

Compared with the encirclement and suppression of Yelu Sheng, this is obviously a more important issue.

Soon Qin Ming received information that Yelu Sheng's troops were rushing towards their western front.

Cao Chuan was startled and quickly found Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, we must stop them now. If we let these guys enter Daqian, there will be great suffering!"

"Well, go hold them back."

Qin Ming nodded lightly, his face showing no sadness or joy.

Cao Chuan was puzzled as to how Qin Ming could remain so calm in the face of such a big problem.

He hurriedly followed Qin Ming to the window.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Cao Chuan was already anxious.

"Your Majesty, let's go together. They are too fast. Even catching up to them will take time. What's more, it's raining heavily outside, which will definitely slow down our troops!"

Only with more people can we catch up with Yelu Sheng and prevent him from wreaking havoc along the way in the north!

"Is it too late to catch up now?"

"Then you mean..."

Cao Chuan suddenly looked up and looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

Does Qin Ming want to sacrifice many towns in the north?

This is definitely not his style!

Facing Cao Chuan's puzzled look, Qin Ming sighed slowly.

"Look at the time written on this intelligence. This information was sent six hours ago. Yelu Sheng has been away for a full six hours."

"The Daqian intelligence station was affected by heavy rain, and the transmission of intelligence has been delayed."

"If we chase them now, won't we fall into the enemy's rhythm?"

What Qin Ming said made sense, but there was only one problem, that is, his solution was too cold-blooded, and it seemed as if he did not care about the lives of the people in the north at all.

Cao Chuan immediately looked up and asked Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the lives of those people?"

"Go stop him and minimize the losses. I will bring Yelu Sheng back."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

What he said made Cao Chuan full of disbelief.

"Let him come back? How is that possible?"

Yelu Sheng has escaped.

As long as they go through the western defense line, there is no need to worry about whether the people in the Western Regions will secretly make things easier for them.

Even Qin Ming’s current large army should not be able to catch up with them.

Loot some supplies along the way to replenish yourself.

With their fighting power, they can definitely break through the western defense line.

Qin Ming is usually in the west, mainly engaged in freight transportation.

All the countries along the route have surrendered, so the number of troops deployed is not too large.

This also gave Yelu Sheng an opportunity.

"If I said I could bring him back, I really could. You go first and take all the troops with you."

"Yes!"

Although I don’t know what Qin Ming is going to do.

But when Cao Chuan heard Qin Ming ask him to take all the troops away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I was right about him.

Qin Ming did not intend to abandon the people in the north.

On the contrary, in order to protect them, Qin Ming could even send out all the troops at his disposal.

The only thing that Cao Chuan didn’t understand now was why Qin Ming wanted to stay here.

What exactly is he going to do?

But time was running out and Cao Chuan had no time to think. He could only quickly assemble his troops and then chase in the direction Yelu Sheng left.

They also used the telegraph to contact the defenders of the towns along the way.

If they can stop him, let them try their best to stop Yelu Sheng's progress!

After he left, Qin Ming rode on his warhorse and took hundreds of personal guards with him.

They were all very confused as to why Qin Ming did not participate in this battle.

Several people asked:

"Your Majesty, why do we have to guard here? What should we do next?"

"There are still millions of people from the north behind us. Please take us back quickly. We must not let those nomadic tribes in the north slaughter the people of Daqian!"

The hatred between the two sides has been there for many years.

Now the northern tribes are about to enter Daqian to act as butchers and plunder Daqian's towns.

Such arrogant behavior simply shows that they don't take the Daqian Iron Cavalry seriously!

They have to pay a price for this.

Amid the angry cheers of the crowd, Qin Ming slowly walked up to the platform.

He told them his plan.

"Everyone, let's not go to the back."

"Let's go find their royal tent!"
