"Enough! Pass the order to retreat!"

The Dragon Evil King gave in after a roar of anger. It wasn't that he was receptive to unpleasant truths, but rather that after the impulse passed, he resumed his sense. After all, he was a person who had led troops for so many years, and he couldn't be stupid.

The current situation was indeed unfavorable for them.

"Got it..."

"Report!"

Before the crowd could give a sigh of relief, some soldier's announcement came again. The Dragon Evil King's wide-open eyes fixed on the messenger as if he were about to eat him. The soldier didn't even flinch, but stepped forward tremulously and handed him a sheepskin scroll, "The Khan's letter. Please have a look, my king."

Upon hearing the word Khan, everyone present crinkled their brows. The Dragon Evil King snatched the sheepskin scroll and unfolded it. Upon seeing the contents, his dark eyes seemed to burst into flames, and the temperature in the entire tent rose several degrees.

"What did the Khan say?"

A general stepped forward tentatively, afraid of igniting the obviously enraged Dragon Evil King.

"Nothing, he just told us to go back."

The anger suddenly disappeared mysteriously, replaced by a deadly evil feeling. The parchment in his hand was also tightly crumpled. The general who asked the question was full of doubts, but dare not continue asking further at this time. Anyway, they should get out of here first. Otherwise, when the Qing's army got all the way here, they would be doomed.

"Hurry up and retreat to Long City."

After glancing at his subordinates with a sinister look, the Dragon Evil King gave the order, then turned around and strode away with the sheepskin scroll in his hand. The generals looked at each other, all with a serious expression, and also walked out.

With the Qing's army looming behind, ready to destroy them, and their own Khan constantly scheming against them, what were they fighting so hard for?

Tianmen Pass, Dong Kingdom

"The ten thousand northern barbarians were wiped out in just half a month. It seems that Yan Shengrui is not to be underestimated. Send the news back to Shengjing as soon as possible."

Zhou Sheng, who also received the news, looked very serious. If he had only been defensive against Yan Shenrui at first, he now considered him to be his true enemy.

After this battle, he also had a good understanding of why the Xi Kingdom would take great pains to drill everyday and why the army of the Qing Kingdom dare station outside Buming City.

"Why should General Zhou be so cautious? Most of the northern barbarians are foolhardy. They are surely..."

"Shut up, you!"

A general sitting below seemed to have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. Halfway through, he was snapped off by Zhou Sheng, ignoring his flushed old face, Zhou Sheng's sharp eyes swept over everyone present one by one, "Wars have never been a matter of victory for the strong, but the winner takes it all. You should all keep this in your mind! Although most of the northern barbarians are foolhardy, they are brave and skilled in battle. If the same number of people engage in direct combat without strategy, even our army may not win them. However, Yan Shengrui completely annihilated the 100000 troops occupying Buming City in less than half a month.
