The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 106 The Prince Takes Command

In the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi paced back and forth in the hall, her steps as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Madam, don't worry. The prince will definitely find a way to deal with it." Cui'er stood aside, with a cautious look on her face, and comforted her softly.

Yunxi stopped abruptly, her eyebrows knitted tightly together. "This foreign enemy is coming with such force, and the court is in chaos. I really don't know what to do."

As he was speaking, he saw the prince, dressed in armor, striding into the hall in a hurry.

"Yunxi, don't worry." The prince shouted at the top of his voice, his voice was so loud.

Yunxi took two steps at a time and hurried forward: "Your Highness, this situation..." Before she could finish her words, tears welled up in her eyes.

The prince waved his hand like a cloud, saying, "I have decided to lead the army and repel the foreign enemy."

Yunxi stared at the prince with eyes full of worry: "Prince, this trip is dangerous, you must be careful."

As he spoke, he grabbed the prince's arm and clenched his hand unconsciously.

The prince looked at Yunxi, his face showing determination. He reached out and held Yunxi's hand: "Don't worry, I am a veteran of the battlefield and will definitely fulfill my mission."

Afterwards, the prince summoned all the generals to the parade ground.

The prince stood upright on the platform, his armor shining in the sun.

His thick brows were furrowed, his eyes were bright, and he exuded an unquestionable majesty.

"Everyone, the enemy is invading our borders, and our country is in imminent danger." The prince's voice was like a bell, and it seemed to pierce the sky. "I am commanded by the emperor to lead the army and will drive the enemy out of our territory!"

The generals in the audience held their heads high, their chests puffed out, their gazes determined. Some were large and bearded, their fists clenched, as if ready to charge and kill the enemy at any moment; others were lean, but their eyes were particularly sharp, revealing a sense of shrewdness.

"We are willing to follow the prince through life and death to defend our country!" The generals shouted in unison, and the sound made the leaves around the parade ground tremble.

The prince looked determined, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Arm the army and march!"

Suddenly, the horns sounded and the soldiers quickly took action.

Some soldiers carried long spears and walked hurriedly; some soldiers led their war horses with serious expressions.

Yunxi stood at the door of the Marquis' Mansion, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly in her hands, her brows slightly furrowed.

She watched the prince riding on his warhorse, going further and further away, without blinking.

The armor became more and more dazzling in the sunlight, but it made Yunxi's heart tighten even more.

When the procession reached the city gate, the people came out to see them off. Among the crowd were white-haired old men, women holding babies, and a group of half-grown children.

"Your Highness, you must win the battle!" An old man, leaning on a cane, shouted in a trembling voice.

The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"Your Highness, we are waiting for your triumphant return!" A child waved his hands hard, his face flushed red.

The prince reined in the reins and bowed to the people: "Thank you all, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The team marched out of the city in a mighty procession. The prince rode on his horse with a stern expression.

He kept his eyes fixed on the front, and the wind blew his cloak, making it rustle.

"General Li, what are the characteristics of the enemy this time?" The prince turned to look at General Li beside him and asked.

General Li quickly clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, the enemy has many cavalrymen this time and they fight bravely.

Moreover, they are well-equipped and difficult to deal with." General Li's face was serious, his brows knitted into a knot.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "No matter what, we can't be afraid of them.

Our soldiers are not vegetarians either!"

General Li nodded vigorously: "Your Highness is right, we must ensure that the enemy never returns!"

The prince then asked, "How are the food preparations going?"

"Your Highness, there is sufficient food and fodder to sustain the army for several months," General Li replied.

The prince asked again: "Where are the weapons?"

"The weapons have also been checked, and there are no problems."

The prince nodded slightly: "Give the order to strengthen the vigilance and not underestimate the enemy."

When they reached a valley, the prince pulled the reins.

The prince's tiger eyes widened as he stared at both sides of the valley, his thick eyebrows knitted into knots. He said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is dangerous, there may be an ambush."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of shouting and killing sounds, shaking the valley.

A large number of enemy troops rushed out from both sides of the valley, each of them looked like a ferocious monster.

"Protect the prince!" A bearded general shouted at the top of his voice. The soldiers immediately formed a circle and protected the prince in the middle. They held their spears tightly in their hands, their expressions tense and determined.

How could the prince hide behind? He drew out his sword with a swish, and it gleamed coldly in the sunlight. His eyes widened with anger as he shouted, "All soldiers, follow me and kill the enemy!"

As he spoke, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed out like an arrow.

The prince is indeed a brave general who has experienced hundreds of battles. He brandishes his sword with great force.

An enemy soldier rushed over, the prince dodged to the side and swung his sword in reverse. The enemy soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

Another enemy soldier rushed over, and the prince swung his sword violently, cutting off the opponent's weapon. Then he swung another sword, and the enemy soldier's head tilted and he died.

"Your Highness is mighty!" Seeing how brave the prince was, the soldiers' morale was boosted, and they all shouted and fought with the enemy.

For a moment, there was a chorus of shouts and sounds of weapons clashing.

The prince was so bloodthirsty that his battle robe was stained with blood, but he did not stop at all, and the sword in his hand kept rising and falling.

Seeing this, a small enemy leader tried to attack the prince from behind. A soldier nearby was sharp-eyed and shouted, "Prince, be careful!"

The prince reacted extremely quickly. He turned around and swung his sword, and the little leader fell down holding his neck.

After a fierce battle, the enemy finally couldn't hold on and retreated.

"Count the casualties and keep moving forward!" The prince was covered in blood and his hair was a little messy, but his aura was still so majestic that people dared not look directly at him.

In the evening, the troops set up camp in an open field. The prince strode into the tent, where the generals were already waiting.

The prince sat down on the chair and threw his sword to the ground with a clang.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will split into three groups. One will conduct a feint attack, the second will go around the rear, and the third will attack the enemy's main camp directly."

The prince pointed at the map and tapped it with his finger. "Listen up, everyone! Anyone who dares to slack off will be punished by military law!"

The generals nodded one after another, and one of them, a tall and thin general, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness is wise!

I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Another short and strong general also said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will prepare it right away and ensure that the mission is completed!"

It was late at night. The prince walked out of the tent and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The moonlight shone on him, reflecting his exhausted figure. The prince sighed deeply and murmured to himself: "Yunxi, wait for me to return."

On the second day, just after dawn, the team set out as planned.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing were loud.

The army led by the prince was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and each of them was blood-thirsty.

The prince rode on a tall horse, his armor shining coldly in the sun, and his posture was like a god of war.

The long sword in his hand was swung with a whistling sound, and every swing brought up a splash of blood.

"Oh no, General, we can't hold on anymore!" The enemy general shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of fear, his face pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

"Retreat!" The enemy general gave the order helplessly, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.

How could the prince let go of this opportunity? "Chase them for me, don't let any of them go!"

He shouted loudly, his eyes wide open, and his beard trembled.

The prince took the lead and rushed to the front. The soldiers behind him also rushed forward with roars as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The dust raised by the horses' hooves covered the sky.

After several days of fierce fighting, the enemy was finally repelled.

The prince stood on the battlefield, looked at the enemy corpses all over the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

His face was covered in blood and dust, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Pass on my order to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." The prince said, his voice a little tired.

At this time, a spy came to report: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the enemy army have fled towards the border."

The prince's eyes were stern, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Chase them! I will uproot them!"

The troops continued to advance, pursuing the enemy all the way. Along the way, the prince did not dare to stop for a moment, and his fierceness made the soldiers dare not slack off even a little.

Finally, at the border, the enemy was completely driven out of the country.

"Victory!" the soldiers cheered. Some threw their weapons into the air, while others hugged each other, laughing and crying.

The prince looked at the cheering soldiers and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He jumped off his horse and walked among the soldiers, patting one on the shoulder and touching another's head.

"Brothers, we have not brought shame to our ancestors!" the prince said loudly.

"Return to the capital!" the prince said loudly.
