"My sons, follow me and charge!"
Liu Tang had no idea that there were many dangers ahead, so he made a sudden advance and plunged directly into the dangerous area. Suo Chao, who was coming from behind, saw Liu Tang taking the lead and charging towards the thieves. Not to be outdone, he raised his whip and urged his horses to lead his soldiers towards Liu Tang.
At this time, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others had already arrived at the safe area. They were not in a hurry to escape. They raised their arms and ordered the entire army to stop and rest, watching as the second general Yuan Jun entered the trap.
Ridiculous! When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang behaved like this, even a fool could see that there was a conspiracy, but Liu Tang and others rushed to take advantage of the situation...
"No, there's an ambush!"
When he reached the center of the trap, Liu Tang realized something was wrong. The vegetation here is yellow and dry, and many flammable materials have been placed artificially. If nothing else, it must be a trap set by the thief general.
Liu Tang felt a chill in his heart, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shivered. He raised his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat to the rear.
Unfortunately it's too late!
Chen Sheng's general Zheng Bu ignited the withered grass and other flammable materials on the ground with a fire. The fire instantly started a prairie fire. Even if Liu Tang and others grew two more legs, they would not be able to escape.
Not only the fire attack, Wu Guang also ordered five thousand soldiers to prepare bows and arrows and stand by in the west, which is the only place where the fire attack can escape. When Liu Tang and others escape, a thousand arrows will be fired!
In addition to the archers, Chen Sheng also ordered his generals Zhuang Jia, Zhao Ping, Qin Jia, Deng Zhong, Deng Shuo, Zhao Sao, Chen Yu, Wu Yu and others to stand behind the archers with 6,000 elite troops.
The ants killed the elephant, and Liu Tang and Suochao were not much better than them. After the fire attack, only 500 of the 3,000 elite soldiers escaped.
Another wave of arrows fell, and the number of five hundred men was reduced to thirty... In the end, among the six thousand thieves, Liu Tang was wounded by Zhuang Jia, Zhao Ping, and Qin Jia, and was finally beheaded by Zhao Sao. Liu Tang was picked up by the owl on the tip of a spear!
As for Suo Chao, he tried his best to escape from the hands of the four generals Deng Zhong, Deng Shuo, Chen Yu and Wu Yu. He was seriously injured and had to lean on the back of his horse. With the strength of Baoju's legs, he could barely escape. Return to Xiapi City.
The morale of the rebel army was originally low, but after this battle, the morale quickly recovered! Coupled with the activation of Chen Sheng's skill, the morale, marching speed, and defense of the entire army were greatly improved.
The thief general summoned Liu Tang's head, hanging on the spear, and marched into Quyang County with the army in a show of force...
Let us return to Qi Jiguang and Chao Gai!
Chao Gai took the lead as a vanguard officer, led Zang Ba, Yang Zhi and three thousand elite troops and quickly arrived at the place where Liu Tang died.
But what they saw was a mess, all they could see were the black marks exposed after the fire burned them out, thousands of charred corpses, Chao Gai and other soldiers' eyes were red, veins popped out at their temples, they gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, glaring angrily into the distance.
Keep walking, it’s another place! I saw that the ground was densely covered with arrows, among which corpses were lying in various directions, all of them were soldiers of the Yuan Army...
Going to another place, there were very few corpses, and the most eye-catching thing was the headless corpse in the center. Chao Gai had tears in his eyes, full of disbelief. He turned over, dismounted, knelt down on the ground, and took the headless corpse into his arms to look at it carefully!
"Thieves, I, Chao Gai, swear that I will cut you into pieces."
The headless corpse was none other than Liu Tang. Chao Gai's mentality exploded and he raised his head to the sky and roared, temporarily venting his anger. But a soldier came forward to report that the bandit army was heading towards Quyang County!
Chao Gai's eyes were red and he became a little crazy. He clenched his teeth and looked into the distance. He waved his big hand and signaled the whole army to march towards Quyang County.
"General Chao Gai, don't act on your own initiative. We should wait for General Qi to arrive, and then rush to Quyang together to destroy the bandit army."
Zang Ba proposed persuasion, but was rejected by Chao Gai. He said that the rebel army had just entered Quyang County and it was time to rest and reorganize. Sending troops at this time would surely catch the rebel army by surprise.
Before Zang Ba could refute, Chao Gai ordered the entire army to march towards Quyang County. When the army moves, Zang Ba has no choice but to shut up!
In half an hour, the vanguard army arrived outside Quyang County. Just as the bandit army was setting fire to cook, Chao Gai saw that the opportunity was more appropriate and ordered the entire army to attack the city...
All of a sudden, shouts and sounds of killing came one after another. The shocked bandit commander in Quyang County put down his hands to eat, hurriedly picked up his weapons, mounted his horse and rushed towards the city wall.
"The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded by Chao Gai with fifty taels of gold and a beautiful concubine."
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward! The soldiers set up ladders and climbed up with shields, hoping to become the rewarded person.
Chao Gai took the lead and led his soldiers to climb up the city wall. In less than a cup of tea, he led a dozen soldiers to climb up the city wall and engage in a confrontation with the thieves.
"The Han dog will take his life!"
When Zheng Bu, the general of the rebel army, saw Chao Gai and others scaling the city wall, he quickly picked up his weapons and came to support him, intending to kill Chao Gai and other Yuan troops who scaled the city wall.
"Ding! Zheng Bu's skill 'Sword General' is activated, and the force value increases by 2 points."
"Ding! Detecting people, please wait..."
Zheng Bu, five-dimensional attributes: 87 force value, 57 commander value, 46 intelligence value, 32 political value, and 60 charm value."
Chen Sheng's subordinates were a group of people with wine bags, rice bags, smelly fish and rotten shrimps, and they were selling out their first bids. They were looking for useless people, but it was a pity for the red-haired ghost Liu Tang...
Seeing that the thief was charging towards him, Chao Gai was furious and cut the thief in front of him into two pieces with a knife, preparing for battle.
"You're just a little thief, let me do it."
A bold statement came from behind Chao Gai. He looked closely and saw that it was Yang Zhi who was fighting with the army. He also climbed up the city wall. Seeing that there were thieves attacking Chao Gai, he took the initiative to help Chao Gai so that Chao Gai could vacate the city. Go out and look for Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others.
"Ding! Yang Zhi's skill 'King of Swords' is activated, and the force value increases by 3 points.
The second skill, 'Green Beast', is activated, and the starting hand's force value increases by 5 points. The fighting spirit is currently at full value, and the force value is increased by 6 points!
Effect 3 has not yet been activated, and the current force value has been increased to 109 (110)."
Yang Zhi gave Chao Gai a look to look for Chen Sheng, and he could just leave this place to himself! Chao Gai thanked him and picked up his weapons to find Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, the commanders of the rebel army.
"Hmph! The Han dog saw that I beheaded you and cut off your head to use as a weapon pendant. Just like the Han general before..."
Zheng Bu uncovered Yuan Jun's scars, which made Yang Zhi look gloomy. After the death of his own general, it was a great shame and humiliation to have his head picked up by a thief general.
Without saying a word, Yang Zhi rushed towards Zheng Bu. With just one strike, the sword in his hand was knocked away several feet away.
Another blow, and a trace of blood appeared on Zheng Bu's neck! Before Zheng Bu could react, his head fell from his neck...blood splattered and his death was translucent.
The thieves are just a bunch of rabble, why should they be afraid?
Yang Zhi secretly cursed in his heart, shook off the blood on his knife, and continued to rush towards other places.
