On the way to escape, Ji Bang said to Zhao Xun dejectedly:

"Teacher, we have an army of 500,000 people! 500,000 people! Are we going to lose like this?"

Zhao Xun also nodded with a heavy expression.

"Now the army of 500,000 cannot be connected end to end, which is equivalent to no one. But if we can escape to Jiuqu City to regroup, it is not a defeat. They cannot eat our army of 500,000, and we still have a chance!"

Just as Zhao Xun said this, there was a sudden gentle patter of horse hooves in the woods ahead.

"who!"

Zhao Xun was instantly vigilant and waved his hand to order his horses to stop. Hundreds of people unsheathed their swords and looked around, getting ready for battle.

But then, people slowly walked out not only in front, but also all around. A team of a thousand people surrounded Zhao Xun and others, and slowly walking out on a white horse in front was a man in military uniform.

A brave young man.

The young man looked at Zhao Xun and grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"Zhou Yuan is here, Zhao Xun comes out to accept the surrender."

Zhou Yuan!

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, looking at the young man with a smile in front of him. He was the one he had admired all his life and had been friends with for a long time. Now that the real thing appeared in front of him, everything made Zhao Xun feel so incredible.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Xun gave a wry smile, turned over and dismounted, took off his sword and helmet and put them on the ground, convinced.

"Zhao Xun! Surrender!"

Zhao Xun took the lead, and hundreds of guards behind him also followed suit, putting down their weapons and helmets to express their willingness to surrender. Only Ji Bang was still stunned, unwilling to accept the reality.

Zhou Yuan ignored Ji Bang, got off his horse and helped Zhao Xun up, who was kneeling on one knee, and accepted their surrender.

Zhao Xun looked at Zhou Yuan who was right in front of him, smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask how many troops your Majesty brought? And how did you guess that I would choose this route to escape to Jiuqu City?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head with a warm smile and waved his hand.

"Dalong has been dead for hundreds of years. I am no longer the emperor of Dalong. Please don't call me your majesty. It's okay to call me general or call me by my real name."

"To be honest, I only brought a total of 10,000 people this time. There were 3,000 on each side of Huangyangkou, and there were only 1,000 on each side of the ambush on the cliff. The surprise attack on Shaping Township was 1,000, and now there are another 1,000 people.

Thousand, the total is only ten thousand."

Ji Bang immediately exclaimed after hearing this.

"There are only ten thousand people! Impossible! We have an army of half a million people!"

Ten thousand people defeated 500,000 people? With a disparity of 50 times the number of troops defeated by a small number? Such a record is rare in history? No one in the world can believe it.

Zhou Yuan ignored the yelling Ji Bang? Instead, he explained to Zhao Xun earnestly and with a smile.

"As for my guess that you would take this route? Is it because I have studied all your records and found that you are cautious and steady by nature? I expected that you would definitely choose the most remote and safe road to avoid pursuing soldiers? So?

Only then can I wait in ambush here."

"I know that you have devoted your whole life to studying my Dalong Art of War and have made some achievements? But you have to remember, my Dalong Art of War? Attacking the heart is the top, and training the troops is the middle. Confrontation is the bottom. You can only hit the bottom and the bottom, but not the top.

It’s a plan!”

When Zhao Xun heard this, he suddenly realized. Who becomes a king or loses a bandit? After the defeat, instead of being punished, he was able to receive personal teachings from someone he admired. This made him burst into tears of gratitude, and he once again thanked Zhou Yuan with his hands, his voice trembling.

"Students... are willing to be taught!"

Zhao Xun, who has the highest prestige and seniority in the Yuan army today, can only call himself a student in front of Zhou Yuan like Ji Bang and those students from Hongtian Prison.

In just one day and one night, Zhou Yuan led his troops to a triumphant return. He defeated the enemy's army of 500,000 men at the cost of 10,000 and only lost a hundred or so, and brought back the opponent's commander Zhao Xun and his lord Ji Bang.

"This battle was fought beautifully! The emperor in the army is worthy of his reputation!"

Long Heying couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and immediately ordered people to collect the remnants of Ji Bang's Longwei Army.

The commander-in-chief of the Longwei Army, Zhao Xun, surrendered, and the lord Ji Bang was captured. The remaining army of the Longwei Army, which consisted of more than 400,000 men but was leaderless, had no choice but to surrender, and was collected by Long Heying and brought back to the army.

Now Long Heying's wings are expanding again, and it is no longer the Allied Forces of the Four Continents that are besieging Tianqi City, but the Allied Forces of the Five Continents!

Long Heying treated Xian Xian well and treated veteran Zhao Xun favorably, trusting him to follow Zhou Yuan to lead troops to attack Tianqi City again, which made Zhao Xun burst into tears.

Ji Bang was unwilling to surrender, but the situation was stronger than anyone else's. There was no reason for him not to surrender when he was already in the enemy's lair.

Fortunately, Long Heying treated him favorably. Although he was not as trusting as Zhao Xun and was temporarily imprisoned, he still had enough food and clothing. Even if he wanted a few beauties for entertainment, Long Heying would do his best to satisfy him.

With the help of the more than 400,000 remnants of the newly recruited Zhongzhou Longwei Army, Long Heying's attack speed accelerated again, and the news reached the ears of the eldest prince Ji Le that day.

Ji Le, who was originally drinking and reciting poems in his bamboo forest courtyard, when he heard the news from the visitor, he shook his hands on the spot and threw the valuable jade jug in his hand to the ground and beat it to pieces.

"How is this possible! The Longwei Army has half a million soldiers, and it is led by the veteran general Zhao Xun who I personally invited. He is known as the undefeated general of the Great Yuan Army. He has never been defeated in his life. How can he be defeated by just one person?

Ten thousand people were completely defeated in just one day!"

Ji Le looked gloomy and shouted that it was impossible, and the official who came to report also sighed:

"Your Highness, you don't know something. The person who led the troops to deal with the Thirteenth Master and the others this time is none other than the First Emperor of the Dalong Dynasty, Zhou Yuan, who is known as the Emperor of the Army and the King of Kings!"

"Old General Zhao has been studying Dalong's art of war all his life, and now he meets the founder of Dalong's art of war, Grandmaster. Isn't this just like a mouse meeting a cat, and he is being plotted to death!"

Ji Le paced anxiously back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, scolding in a low voice:

"This bunch of rubbish, an army of 500,000 people, will be gone in one day, gone in one day! Even if you send a fool to gather an army of 500,000 people together, they will not be eaten by just 10,000 people in one day!"

"Your Highness, you can't blame Old General Zhao entirely. It's really Zhou Yuan who used his troops like a god to be too powerful!"

The official bowed to speak and begged:

"Now that the matter has come to this, I would like to ask Your Highness to make another decision and come up with another solution!"

"What else can be done? What else can be done!"

Ji Le turned around and pointed angrily at the official and cursed.

"Without the army, how can you civil servants kill Long Heying, Tian Waitian and Ji Ren one by one with red lips and white teeth?"

The official was frightened and bowed his head deeply, daring not to reply.
