CHAPTER 751: CHAPTER 320: BAI MOWAN FALLS INTO A TRAP (FIFTH UPDATE)

Logistics Corps.

Ye Qichi had just closed her eyes to rest.

Five consecutive days of incessant medical treatment had pushed her to her limits.

She needed to sleep, even if just for two hours, to fully recover.

However, at this moment, a sudden blare of the horn startled her awake.

A night raid by the enemy?!

During the past five days, they hadn’t engaged in battle at night.

Had the Beimu army, due to several days of disadvantageous battles, chosen to fight with their backs against the wall?!

She may not understand others, as the text did not describe much about the battles, but Xiao Jinsen was in the enemy camp, and with his sly and cunning nature, he would never do something without certainty of success. Now, Beimu Country was his only support; he couldn’t possibly compromise Baimu Country.

There must be a demon behind unnatural occurrences!

"Princess, shall we go to the front line for rescue now? We’ve just received news that the battle has resumed," a soldier stepped forward to report.

Ye Qichi looked around at everyone, some soldiers were asleep, and some were treating the wounded.

She stood up, "Let’s go, this time I will take the soldiers on duty with me today."

She had a feeling.

This time was not ordinary.

So they must not increase casualties unnecessarily.

By personally leading the way to the battlefield, she could control the situation at any time.

"Yes."

Ye Qichi led the logistics troops to the front line.

Was she overthinking it?!

She felt that the Beimu army didn’t seem to have many soldiers coming over to fight.

Actually, it was not just her feeling this way.

The soldiers who went out to meet the battle had the same illusion.

And because the Beimu army was obviously no match tonight, the Bai Family’s military morale soared, fighting more valiantly as the battle went on.

Before long, it seemed they had already forced the Beimu army into a hasty retreat, throwing down their weapons and armor.

"Do not chase!" Xiao Jinxing issued the order.

Did he perceive that tonight’s surprise attack was not the same as the usual battles? Evidently, the Beimu army’s morale was low, their military strength insufficient. Fighting like this was a deliberate ploy to exhaust their troops’ strength, planning to counterattack with the larger forces of Beimu Country tomorrow?!

Yet it felt not that simple.

After all, during today’s battle, they also did not expend much military strength, and even if battle commenced tomorrow, it would not affect them much.

The most likely scenario was that it was a deliberate ploy to lure the enemy. Once they gave chase, there would certainly be ambushes waiting at the rear!

Night battles were not the Bai Family army’s strong suit; they had to prioritize stability first.

All the soldiers, after receiving the order, ceased their pursuit and began to withdraw.

Bai Mowan was also preparing to order her troops to retreat when, in a flash, she spotted the fleeing figure of Xiao Jinsen before her.

She was not mistaken.

Even under the moonlight, which didn’t allow for clear vision.

She was too familiar with Xiao Jinsen; even if he turned to ashes, she could recognize him at a glance.

Thus.

The Beimu army, or more precisely, Xiao Jinsen, had been pushed to the limit, opting to lead the charge himself, which certainly meant the Beimu army was prepared to retreat and save the city after anticipating defeat. However, given Xiao Jinsen’s intense desire for victory, how could he simply give up, he was bound to risk it all!

Now, knowing he was outmatched, he could only retreat.

If Xiao Jinsen were allowed to escape this time...

Given the current situation, defeating Beimu Country was inevitable, but Beimu Country might not surrender Xiao Jinsen, they could hide him away, making him impossible to find, and seeking revenge by killing Xiao Jinsen would then be an indefinite wait.

Xiao Jinsen was so cunning and devious.

It wasn’t just about revenge; his existence also posed a threat to Xiao Jinxing.

She must rid Xiao Jinxing of the scourge that was Xiao Jinsen.

She must kill Xiao Jinsen with her own hands.

She issued an order, "Follow me, soldiers, pursue!"

The sudden command.

Left the soldiers, prepared to withdraw, momentarily stunned.

Seeing Bai Mowan already charging out on horseback, they hurriedly followed.

Ye Qichi was on the battlefield, directing the evacuation of the injured.

The battle was brief and ended in a sweeping victory with few casualties.

Just as we were about to leave the battlefield.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves was heard.

Turning towards the noise, I saw a troop chasing after the enemy force.

"Whose army is that?" Ye Qichi’s voice was cold as she abruptly grabbed a retreating soldier and asked.

She had clearly heard the call to retreat.

Could it be Bai Moyi?!

Only he would be so impetuous.

"Answering the Princess, that’s General Bai Mowan’s army," the soldier quickly responded.

Ye Qichi felt a jolt in her chest.

The next second, she had a bad feeling.

If it were Bai Moyi acting on impulse, seeking an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, that would be normal.

But for Bai Mowan, it was extremely abnormal.

Bai Mowan was not someone who acted rashly, nor was it likely she would disobey Xiao Jinxing’s orders.

Unless she encountered something truly beyond her control.

The only thing that could make Bai Mowan so reckless was...

Xiao Jinsen!

Once she understood this.

Ye Qichi immediately knew something was terribly wrong.

Xiao Jinsen was so cunning. Even if Bai Mowan had a second chance at life, if she hadn’t cleverly clung to Xiao Jinxing’s coattails, relying solely on herself, she was no match for Xiao Jinsen. Perhaps, Xiao Jinsen’s dispatch of troops aimed to lure Bai Mowan in order to threaten Xiao Jinxing.

Ye Qichi urgently called out to her soldiers, "Do not rescue yet; immediately inform the Prince to dispatch troops to stop Bai Mowan from pursuing, right this moment!"

As she spoke.

Ye Qichi quickly found two warhorses and handed the soldier the cross insignia from her arm, "Say it is my command, let no one halt it!"

"Understood."

Having finished speaking.

Ye Qichi mounted another warhorse and immediately gave chase after Bai Mowan.

This moment could not afford any delay; any hesitation, and Bai Mowan would fall into Xiao Jinsen’s trap.

She must intercept Bai Mowan as soon as possible.

Ye Qichi’s riding speed became faster and faster.

She furiously caught up.

Overtaking the following soldiers, she glimpsed Bai Mowan not far ahead at the front.

Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.

She drew the poison needle from her hand, shooting it towards the unhesitant figure ahead.

Of course, not aiming at Bai Mowan.

Instead, directly striking the leg of Bai Mowan’s steed.

The horse, hit by the needle, stumbled fiercely and fell to the ground.

Accordingly, Bai Mowan was thrown from the saddle to the ground.

Seeing Xiao Jinsen not far ahead, about to be caught up with.

Her gaze was extremely cold.

Watching Ye Qichi rapidly approaching on her warhorse.

It was clear her horse had been shot by Ye Qichi.

What in the world was this woman doing?!

Deliberately causing trouble?!

Fearing that she would take the credit for the victory?!

After all, capturing Xiao Jinsen would mean claiming the greatest merit.

Bai Mowan hadn’t expected Ye Qichi to be so selfish!

When Ye Qichi treated the soldiers and made them speak such flattering words, Bai Mowan knew that Ye Qichi was not as fearless as she appeared!

She deliberately sought praise in front of Xiao Jinxing, constantly establishing her own merits by saving countless soldiers, all to secure her position as the Empress with her own credits. Now, she was actually sabotaging the victory of the war for her own selfish gains?!

This was simply, utterly heartless!
