The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 152 Departure

It was just dawn and the morning light, like a naughty child, quietly climbed up the wall of the palace.

At this time, the heavy door of the palace slowly opened with a creak, and the prince, wearing a shiny armor, walked out with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

The armor flashed a cold light in the dim light, and the prince looked extremely majestic.

The generals following behind him all had stern faces and expressions as serious as stones.

Yunxi and everyone in the mansion stood at the door early. Yunxi was wearing a plain dress, her hair was simply tied up, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of reluctance and worry.

The prince strode up to Yunxi and held her hand tightly.

"Madam, don't worry, I will definitely return victorious." When the prince said this, his eyes were fixed on Yunxi, and his voice was loud and firm, like a ringing bell.

Yunxi's lips trembled slightly. She held back her tears and nodded vigorously, "Your Highness, I will wait for your safe return."

The prince let go of Yunxi's hand, turned around, and jumped onto the horse with one neat move.

He gripped the reins tightly with both hands, pulled hard, and shouted, "Go!"

The sound made the surrounding leaves tremble a few times.

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves "clattering" filled the entire street.

When the people heard the noise, they ran out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street, craning their necks to look at the prince and the soldiers.

An old vegetable seller put down his load and waved his hands vigorously. A woman holding a child held the child high in the air, shouting, "Your Majesty, you must win the battle!"

There was also a young man who ran a few steps with the team, shouting loudly: "Prince, we are waiting for your return!"

"The prince will win!" "Drive out the foreign enemies!" Shouts rang out one after another.

The prince rode on his horse, clasped his fists and gestured to the people with a firm look in his eyes.

He stood straight like a vigorous pine tree, and the lines on his face were firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Those bright eyes seemed to be able to shoot lightning, which made people feel awe.

The soldiers behind him were all in high spirits, their armor shining coldly in the sunlight.

The prince said loudly: "My fellow villagers, I will definitely fulfill my mission and defeat those foreign enemies!"

The sound was like a huge bell, shaking the air around it.

The people cheered, "Your Highness is mighty! Your Highness will win!" The prince kicked his horse's stomach and continued forward with the team.

The dust raised by the horses' hooves seemed to be a testimony of their determination.

The army marched forward, raising clouds of dust. Yunxi stood at the gate of the mansion, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Her slender figure seemed a little frail, her eyes staring straight at the direction where the prince left, her eyes slightly red, and her hands tightly twisting the corners of her clothes.

The maidservant beside her whispered, "Madam, let's go back. The prince will definitely return safely."

Yunxi bit her lip and shook her head, "I'll wait a little longer."

When he arrived at the city gate, the prince looked back at the capital and secretly vowed in his heart that he would protect the peace in this area.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to hide his attachment and concern for the capital deep in his heart.

After leaving the city, the prince discussed strategy with his generals.

"This time the foreign enemy is coming with great force, we must not take it lightly."

The prince said, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes sweeping solemnly over each general.

"Your Highness, we will obey your command and fight bravely!" Deputy General Lin Yong said loudly with his fists clasped, his face full of determination.

The prince nodded and said, "Send spies to investigate the enemy's situation first."

The spy received the order and rode away at full speed.

The army continued to advance, and along the way, the prince saw that the farmers in the farmlands on the side of the road had stopped their work and were looking at them.

"Don't worry, folks. We will definitely drive away the foreign enemies and keep you safe!"

The prince shouted loudly, waving his whip with an excited look on his face.

The farmers knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After several days of walking, we finally arrived at the border. From afar, we could see numerous tents and fluttering military flags.

The prince walked into the tent and immediately called a meeting of the generals.

"According to the spies' reports, the enemy forces are numerous and well-equipped."

The prince said while looking at the map.

"Your Highness, how should we respond?" A general frowned, his eyes wide open with anxiety, and asked in a hoarse voice.

The prince stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, his eyes as firm as steel, and said loudly: "We will divide our troops into three groups. One group will launch a feint attack from the front to attract the main force of the enemy, and the other two groups will encircle them from the flanks."

The generals nodded in agreement. One of them, a bearded general, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, just wait and see. We will definitely live up to our mission!"

After saying this, he took the order and left.

On the battlefield, smoke billowed, and the smoke was as black as the bottom of a pot, and nothing could be seen clearly.

The shouting and screaming made people's ears buzz, as if it was going to pierce the sky.

The prince led the charge, wearing a silver armor that was stained red with blood.

He brandished his sword, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and shouted, "Charge!"

The prince's roar was deafening and his voice was almost broken.

Seeing how brave the prince was, the soldiers were all excited, with red eyes, and rushed towards the enemy like tigers descending the mountains, howling.

The enemy was no pushover either. They were extremely ferocious and fought to the death with gritted teeth.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and flashes of blood, and corpses were lying all over the ground, one next to the other.

The prince was so blood-thirsty that his eyes were as big as copper bells. He raised and swung his sword, and the enemy's heads rolled to the ground like watermelons.

"Protect the prince!" Lin Yong shouted at the top of his voice, his face covered in sweat, which flowed down his cheeks.

The prince, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He didn't flinch at all. He clamped his legs against the horse's belly and continued charging forward, shouting, "I'm going to finish you all off today!"

After a fierce battle, the enemy gradually showed signs of defeat and began to retreat.

The prince wiped the blood from his face and shouted, "Chase!"

The soldiers rushed forward like crazy, like a tide, and the sound of their footsteps made the ground shake.

When they chased to a valley, the enemy suddenly stopped. It turned out that there was an ambush there.

"Oh no, there's an ambush!" Lin Yong shouted at the top of his lungs, his face turning pale with fear.

The prince pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed.

The prince shouted, "Hold on!"

At this moment, the enemy rolled down a huge rock from the mountain. The rock was so big that it hit the prince's army with a loud bang.

The soldiers were unable to dodge and were hit hard, crying for their parents and suffering heavy casualties.

The prince's eyes widened with anger, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he shouted, "Follow me!"

As he said that, he rushed out first.

Seeing that the prince was not afraid of death, the soldiers also plucked up their courage, followed the prince to break through the ambush, and continued to pursue the enemy.

Finally, the enemy was completely defeated, and they fled in all directions, abandoning their weapons and armor.

Some ran away without shoes, and some even threw away their weapons.

The prince stood on the battlefield, looking at the corpses all over the ground, some of which were chopped beyond recognition.

He sighed deeply, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

"Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded!" the prince ordered in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers began to get busy, some carrying corpses, some looking for wounded people, and the battlefield was in a mess.

The prince looked into the distance, thinking of Yunxi in his heart, "Madam, I will not let you down."
