"Woooo...Help..."

"Save us!"

"Tuoba Zan!" Chu Ling's face darkened, and he picked up a bow on the horse's back with his back, and drew the bow. The bow was pulled over and shot at Tuoba Zan mercilessly. Tuoba Zan quickly waved his knife and pushed the arrow shot at him. The hand holding the knife trembled slightly, but he did not stop and put the knife on the neck of a crying child, "Senior sister, do you still not retreat."

Chu Ling took a deep breath, raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "The whole army retreated ten miles!"

"Thirty miles!" Tuoba Zan said immediately.

Chu Ling sneered and said, "Don't be too arrogant. Even if you retreat a hundred miles, I can still kill you!"

Tuoba Zan hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Okay, you retreat first!"

Chu Ling held the reins and looked at the young man on the city tower. He put the knife on the girl's neck, his eyes were red and murderous, no longer the stupid and unsuccessful junior brother who went to the capital.

"Tuoba Zan, if you go back on your word, even if you hide at the end of the world, I will take the head of your neck. You'd better believe it... Otherwise, your father will be your lesson."

"It's you!" Tuoba Zan gritted his teeth.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Didn't you know it? Now you are so indignant as if you are so filial." After that, Chu Ling stopped looking at Tuoba Zan, and turned his horse's head and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!"

"Yes, princess!" Although Xiao Feng and others were unwilling to accept it, they had to follow the order.

The people of the Clan can live without taking the life of the Apocalypse, but they cannot.

On the city tower, Tuoba Zan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the army gradually fade away.

"Prince, the Apocalypse has retreated. Let's..." A general next to him whispered, and his eyes looked at Tuoba Zan with a bit strangeness.

The Apocalypse people say that warriors are treacherous, but in the eyes of the Citizens, using civilians to threaten the enemy is still a inferior method. They may kill the civilians and loot their property after victory, but from the day the Citizens entered the pass, few generals have used the Citizens to threaten the Citizens' soldiers. First, it may not work, and second, this move is contrary to the martial spirit that the Citizens have always pursued.

The more accomplices have a status and reputation, the less they will not do this.

But they could not blame King Qi, because they all knew that if they did not do this, they would not be able to defend the small city at all. Today's shame must be endorsed by every soldier of the tribe in this city.

Tuoba Zan looked calm and said in a deep voice, "Reorganize the troops and prepare to retreat! The Southern Army cut off the rear!"

The general asked in a low voice, "Where is the prince going to retreat?"

"Ningzhou." Tuoba Zan said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The general bowed his hand, turned around and walked away quickly.

Tuoba Zan looked down at his hand holding the knife, and there was still blood on the knife. Next to him was a corpse of a woman who had just been chopped. Blood lay all over the ground and spread to Tuoba Zan's feet. His hand holding the knife suddenly shook, not knowing whether it was because of Chu Ling's arrow just now or something else.

Tuoba Zan frowned and turned around and left.

On the hillside ten miles away from the small town, Shangguan Yunru quickly walked over and said in a deep voice, "Princess, the people of the Clan are ready to retreat. The Clan cavalry is in the head, and the southern army is broken." Chu Ling nodded and said, "I understand." Shangguan Yunru's young face was much more angry and unwilling, "Princess, did you just let them run away?"

They also sacrificed many soldiers to force the Northern Jin people into this small town. Now they let people go like this is really uneasy.

Chu Ling looked back at him and smiled, "Let them go? Where is that easy?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunru's eyes lit up, "The princess has other arrangements?"

Chu Ling sighed lightly and said, "It would be better if Tuoba Zan could be trapped in the city, but... the chance was not great. This situation just happened a little earlier than we expected. I originally thought that at least we had to wait..."

"The princess had expected it long ago?" Shangguan Yunru said in surprise.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Do you think Tuoba Zan is a gentleman?" Tuoba Zan's temperament was so anxious that he could not do anything. It was not unimaginable to threaten Chu Ling with the people of the Ancestor in the city. And what's even more terrifying is that even if Chu Ling was not deceived, Tuoba Zan would not let those people of the Ancestor.

Like all the people of the tribe, he never regarded the people of Tianqi as human beings. Perhaps Tuoba Luo would treat the people of Tianqi well because of the court and political situation, Tuoba Yin would not do anything because of Princess Lingxi and himself that he was not good at bullying the weak, and Tuoba Xingye would not do such things. He was a general who only considered things on the battlefield and would never involve ordinary people, but Tuoba Zan had no worries.

Shangguan Yunru was happy as long as he knew that Tuoba Zan would not run away, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, what will we do next?"

Chu Ling said, "Xiao Feng and Zhu Yaohong have gone, let's cut off their retreat."

"The way out?" Shangguan Yunru was puzzled.

Chu Ling said, "Separate the Southern Army and the Bian people."

Shangguan Yunru nodded seriously and said, "I understand!"

When Tuoba Zan rushed out of the city with the cavalry of the tribe, he was not intercepted by any Apocalypse troops. Tuoba Zan did not dare to stop and immediately led his troops to the north. However, after the cavalry of the tribe, a soldier came out in the air like a sharp blade cutting off the connection between the cavalry of the tribe and the Southern Army. The cavalry of the tribe in front ran wildly and quickly left. The southern army, which was originally walking, was disrupted by the situation.

When the Clans were there, the Southern Army could barely be stable. When the Clans were gone, facing the extremely brave Divine Blessing Army, the Southern Army suddenly became ants on the hot pan and wandered around.

In fact, with the 20,000 troops of the Shenyou Army, it was impossible to crush nearly 100,000 Southern Army. However, the scene where the people of the Clan were forced by the Apocalypse army to threaten innocent women and children had too profound impact on the Southern Army.

The Southern Army only led the lowest food and salary and worked as cannon fodder to survive under the rule of the Bian people. They did not have the awareness of devoted themselves to the Northern Jin world. The Bian people themselves fled, why did they still fight to the death?

If it weren't for escaping this time, what time did they usually rush to the front?

With such an idea, the Southern Army was immediately defeated and dispersed around.

This scene was even more strange in Shangguan Yunru's eyes, "Will the people of the Clan want these Southern Army to fight or cause trouble?"

"Not all, they are used to block the knife." Chu Ling said in a deep voice. The people of the Clan don't want the Southern Army to be too powerful. They will have different intentions for our clan. As soon as the large number of Southern Army becomes stronger, the Clan may not be able to control it.

The fleeing army was not able to stop the 20,000 Shenyou Army, so Chu Ling did not bother to intercept them. However, the fact that the Runzhou Southern Army defeated the people and was executed by the entire army had already spread throughout the southern army. These people had calculated that they had fled, and they would not dare to create the tragedy like that when they were in Runzhou last year.

"Princess." Several general-looking people were taken to the front, and were kicked by someone. They fell to the ground with a bent knee.

Mingxuan bowed and said, "Princess, this is the commander of the Southern Army. These are all the generals of the Southern Army." Ordinary soldiers fled and fled, but they caught all the soldiers of the Southern Army. Although there were inevitably some fish that missed the net, the commander of the Southern Army could not escape. Because Mingxuan took people to target him at the beginning.

Chu Ling nodded, glanced at the girls following Mingxuan and praised, "I did a good job, I will remember you for your achievements when I go back."

The girls couldn't help but feel overjoyed and a little shy, "It's all our business."

Chu Ling looked at the several Southern Army generals kneeling on the ground and raised his eyebrows slightly. The person who was holding his neck with a sword immediately knelt respectfully, "Princess has a clear understanding! Princess has a clear understanding!"

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to know about me?"

A general said, "Princess, this is done by Tuoba Zan, it has nothing to do with us."

The others nodded, "That's right! Please give me a clear understanding of the princess. We are all Apocalypse people and will never dare to harm the people of Apocalypse. We are willing to surrender to the princess, and from then on we follow the princess to expel the people of the Clan, and restore my Apocalypse River and Mountain!"

When Chu Ling heard his words speak with a righteous and stern voice, he couldn't help but chuckled.

The man thought Chu Ling accepted his surrender and was even more happy and kowtowed repeatedly, "I will definitely be loyal to the princess in the future, and I will never repent!"

Chu Ling leaned forward slightly, leaned on the horse's back and smiled, "Is there no repentance?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Chu Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I heard... Tuoba Zan sent someone to ask Tuoba Yin for help? Tuoba Yin should have come to pick him up, and he will be here soon."

"How could it be? Tuoba Liang sent a letter of help three days ago, and it will be tomorrow as soon as possible..."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Tuoba Zan really asked Tuoba Yin for help?"

The man was stunned and realized that he had been cheated by Chu Ling. He collapsed his shoulders in a little frustrated and looked at Chu Ling pitifully, "Princess..."

Chu Ling glanced at everyone and smiled and said, "You want to follow me and serve the Apocalypse. This palace is naturally welcome, and the opportunity is right in front of you."

"Please...please give instructions to the princess." Several people looked at each other for a few times, and some said carefully.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Stop Tuoba Yin, you will be the one who has made a contribution. As long as you can stop Tuoba Yin for two days, I will be the one who has made up for the merits. As long as you have not done anything that is difficult to tolerate, you can leave it alone."

"Shen...King Shen?" Everyone changed their color slightly.

Mingxuan snorted lightly and said proudly, "What? The princess gives you the opportunity to reform, but you dare not appreciate it?"

The commander of the Southern Army, who had not spoken, smiled bitterly and said, "Princess Ming Jian, King Shen... is a famous general in the Northern Jin Dynasty. How could we be his opponent in this skill?" If he had the ability to compete with Tuoba Yin, how could he still follow Tuoba Zan to fight against a small commander of the Southern Army?

Chu Ling asked, "I can't even do this, what's the point I want you?"

The commander of the Southern Army hesitated for a moment, looked around and whispered, "Princess please retreat, and there is news below."

Chu Ling was a little surprised, and Mingxuan whispered, "Princess, be careful of fraud."

Chu Ling thought for a moment, and still chuckled and gestured to Mingxuan. Mingxuan nodded, glared at the commander warningly, waved to the people around him, and the soldiers next to him immediately pulled the others and retreated. Only the commander of the Southern Army was left on the ground in front of Chu Ling.

Chu Ling looked down at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "I advise you not to act rashly."

"I dare not, don't dare." The commander of the Southern Army smiled and said, "Princess Wu'an... Princess Shenyou is a great disciple of General Tuoba, and I have heard of it some of them."

"Did you come from the north?" Chu Ling asked.

She is usually called Princess Wu'an, and most of them come from near Shangjing.

The commander of the Southern Army nodded respectfully and said, "Back to the princess, that's right. We were originally the late emperor... the Southern Army stationed in Youzhou under Tuoba Liang." Chu Ling was a little curious, "After Tuoba Liang's death, you surrendered to Baili Qinghong? Why did you run to Liangzhou?"

The commander of the Southern Army smiled bitterly, "Aren't we people going wherever we say we can go. The prince consort of Baili ordered us to draw 200,000 troops to follow the King of Qi and Su and Mingguang to go to war."

Chu Ling nodded, "What is the news you want to say?"

The commander of the Southern Army looked at Chu Ling hesitantly, and Chu Ling said, "I will just say what you want, as long as your news is valuable and... your request is not excessive."

The commander of the Southern Army said, "There is only one request, please let the princess raise her hands and let me go. After that, she will definitely retreat to the mountains and forests and will never appear in front of the princess again." Chu Ling looked at him thought. The commander of the Southern Army thought Chu Ling was going to reject him, and suddenly became anxious. "I have also learned about the princess's style of conduct. I can guarantee that I have never done anything that harms ordinary people."

"Oh? I've never done those things when I get to your position?"

The commander of the Nanjun Army said, "At the age of his lower age, the princess should be able to see it. When the Clan entered the pass, I was only in my teens. My father was a general who surrendered to the Clan. Because of his low status, he had no ability and had no reputation. When I was older, he followed his father to the Nanjun Army just to protect his family. I know that the princess has no good impression of the Nanjun, but... there are really many people who are forced to helplessly. In this world... there are indeed many beasts, but... most of them are still ordinary people. Compared to the princess, we may really not be righteous, but most of us just want to live a life, wanting our family to have a stable home and have a meal."

Chu Ling remained silent.

Of course she knew that most of the soldiers of the Southern Army were ordinary people who just wanted to survive. If they were really beasts that were worse than beasts, I was afraid that the number of Apocalypse people would not be enough to harm people. But along the way, they had seen too many tragedies. Therefore, it was necessary to deter the Southern Army.

"As long as what you say is true, I can promise you." Chu Ling said.

The commander of the Southern Army breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The princess is like a mountain, I believe it."

"Can you say it now?"
