'Destiny?- are you sure that exists?' -(I)

[Si-Po Village, 1km north of Qing county town]

"Don't Fall back now!- crush those fleeing Jins!"- one of the khitan Liuentenents shouted with all of his voice accumulated.

And, with that voice echoing over the valley- Thousands of khitan troops rushed to the south, in the humidity of the 'Misty' forests.

It was already late in the afternoon, the sun had enough time being stricking high up in the sky, and was actually now seemed to have getting the lose over the height it had reached-

As for the same case to the Zhang's black knights, the constant fighting retreats had now started taking toll on them- and their 'endurance' still being considered 'humane'- was already at it's breaking point.

Although being an elite unit of the Caizhou Jin clan, it was already at it's stretch in limitations- which surely indeed needed some 'miracle' to hold off these thousands of crazy raiders with their mere hundred cavalrymen- who were already exhausted in the mist of the retreats.

But,

"We will not retreat anymore.", Zhang shouted at his second-at-command; his eyes having the stare of a berserk- totally soaked with the lurking thoughts and hope over his soldiers; on whom he trusted more than himself.

"We will fight back!"- He exclaimed.

"But, Lord Zhang!"- Zhang's second-at-command spoke out with a complaining voice, "We nor have the men, nor the hope to fight a winning battle here! You should leave immediately, we will hold them off as long we can!"

"I am afraid; I really can't."

Zhang turned, and stared over the North- The enemy army, now somewhat full in order was approaching directly towards them!

His eyes closed, he took a deep breath-

A small smile flickered over his face, and suddenly the 'pale-face' dissipated off his senses-

As the Khitan army was rushing in towards him, a huge line of smoke started to show up on the eastern Zhao-lin-Zheng's forest line-

Zhang, knew what it meant.

He smiled over at his second-at-command, and pointing his fingers towards the smoke; he exclaimed-

"That's the hope what you needed."

.

.

"Form up a line with every knight available in our command! We will stop these rimagalores here!"- Zhang ordered with extreme determination enough to fill his fellow soldiers with the same extreme-ness and courage.

The line of smoke wasn't really a fire, it was the signal from Wuyang City's scouts that help is coming- and Yun was accurate enough to send the orders in time, as his estimated problem of 'backfire of retreating' was just starting to show up.

It was a flaw in his plan, The plan which 'RSK' formulated over the old tactic of 'mongolian feigned retreat'- the seemingly most trickiest of the military tactics used by the mongols at spamming rates. Somehow, as a history student- he had known the fact that most of the Khitan leaders don't really know well about this tactic- so, it was somehow working for the initiation of his defensive commandeur which was not just only focused on defending this part of the Qing county's hilly passes-

It actually focused on clearing the clouds of doubt that a hidden mongol army was residing around Baohexiang-

And, with the Mongol army spotted and being tackled at Shen-Dian-Zhen's pass- his plan was at it's success.

But, all of these had a thought hidden beside them-

'A unexpected trap for the Khitan and Mongol armies, would cripple their morale and dare to intrude the Jin borders for a while.'

The 'while', RSK thought it was needed to let the 'Time' to again send him back to where he was from- His hometown, where his heart and people resided.

.

.

"Well, I don't think these Khitans would be able to use their numbers",Yun remarked as he stood up and called a soldier.

"To our west, some infantry troops are going to intrude us anytime- Keep eyes open for them!"

The soldier nodded and stared in visible wonder on his face-

Indeed, he was sure of these orders, but the way Yun said, seemed he is too sure about the situation. He wondered how this Princely figure can order so confidently- as confident that the Soldier, or the 'Corporal' of the Black knights to be precise- felt a chill surging in his spine.

The Corporal knew well of the fact, the handful of soldiers he had at this small hilltop, was just too little to be defending this probing spot in the enemy lines.

Seeing him engulfed in worrying thoughts, Yun slowly patted his back, and pointed his fingers towards the west-

"There, see!"

A number of Khitan soldiers were entering the line of the 'Misty' forest- tumbling and scattered enough to not be noticed easily.

It seemed, they were sent to try a flanking attack or just some scouting tasks; but for whatever they were, it was indeed a problem for the handful of Jin soldiers on this probing ground, which seemed to be risky enough while such a number of 'deflected' enemies wanted to move through this 'safe-spot'.

"Your Majesty, Should we retreat back to Wuyang?",The Corporal asked in worry.

"We shouldn't."

Yun looked at the intruding soldiers with his telescope-like thingy, and smiled.

"They seemingly don't really know about our position, at least for the moment- it seems.",Yun remarked with a smile on his face, leaving the Corporal in visible confusion.

"Your Excellency, I may be sound rude; but may I hear how you are making this assumption?"-the Corporal asked Yun in a curious way.

"How?-", Yun paused for a moment; and handed the telescope to the Corporal.

(seemingly not a telescope, but yeah it was some kind of a predecessor to what it seemed to be look like- not to mention it just worked fine.)

"See yourself!", Yun exclaimed as he walked past the Corporal, back into the tent.

.

.

Under the magnification of the "Telescope", The Corporal's eyes caught a very much of a surprising scene, those Khitan soldiers were actually going down south just below their Outpost, more to that- their eyes seemed to have lost the view of the hill which encompassed the smoky line of the forest, driving its wedgy ends through it's heart- slowing the Sun's crest with its deemed shadow upon the western downhills.

The Khitan soldiers, were indeed unaware.

They were walking straight through a very risky route, may be it was only a deflection from the main route; or it was just a scouting group going to trigger any traps and ambushes from this route-

"Who knows?"

The Corporal spoke out of his thoughts.

The thoughts, which keep us all engulfed.

The thoughts, which has kept you engulfed into this Novel.

All are the same thoughts with a little difference in context.
