"We've fallen into the trap, retreat, retreat to the camp!" The fat general on horseback shouted in horror.
But the retreat was already blocked by Fengzi Camp, so there was no way to retreat.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!" roaring voices followed Xu Mu's shouts.
There were indeed many soldiers in the camp who were so frightened that they dropped their weapons. The dead soldier of Hutang who was chased was quickly stabbed to death.
"Retreat! Retreat—" The fat general on horseback tried to gallop away, but was thrown away by Si Hu with an axe. His body and head were immediately separated and he fell on the snowy road.
"Roar!"
The more than 8,000 beheaded soldiers who fought back all roared angrily. The more than a thousand soldiers who were still in the camp were so frightened that they abandoned the camp and fled in panic.
…
"Brother Mu, how much food does this have?" Si Hu opened his eyes wide and stood in the camp with a stunned look on his face.
Xu Mu was also a little surprised. This camp where grain and grass were stored actually had hundreds of official warehouses densely packed together.
From every official warehouse, if you poke it with a long sword, rice and grain will overflow.
Thinking of the refugees starving to death outside, Xu Mu felt helpless again. Even if it is only separated into an official warehouse, many people can be saved.
The beheaded soldiers following behind were all a little panicked. In normal times, the rice pottery jar at home can be filled up, which is enough to comfort the ancestors.
"General, it wouldn't be a pity if it was burned." Several old soldiers sighed.
"It's not that it's going to burn. In such a snowy weather, it probably won't burn."
"What do you mean, General?"
"The smoke is rising, and it's like a fire."
No matter what happens in the future, having this food will give many people hope.
"You go and collect some firewood and set it up near the official warehouse."
"Follow the general's orders!"
Soon, thick smoke was wrapped in the wind and snow in Guancang Camp in the south of the city. Looking from a distance, it was shocking.
Just then, another captain from the fleeing army rushed back. As soon as he opened his mouth, he burst into tears.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the official warehouse in the south of the city has been captured by the rebels!"
Click.
The captain's head fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuanlu frowned and looked coldly in the direction of the south of the city.
"Chen Changqing, those fools are making a scene."
"It's important to kill Yuan Tao."
"You don't understand. If you ignore it, there will be another official warehouse that will be burned down by these fools."
"How many people are there in the rebellion?"
"About ten thousand. The leader was Yuan Tao's men. It is said that they fought a beautiful battle at the border."
"What do you mean, let me lead troops to kill?"
"Very good."
Chen Changqing looked slightly angry, took his horse, picked up his long sword, and headed towards the south of the city with his 20,000 men and horses.
"Xu Mu, the leader of the owl, will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and made a general!"
After just over an hour, Chen Changqing led his army and approached the Guancang camp in the south of the city. Thick smoke filled the sky, making people's noses hurt.
"Enter the camp!" Chen Changqing pushed away the thick smoke with his hands and was too lazy to waste time. In his eyes, the rebel army of less than 10,000 people was actually a mob.
"kill!"
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's order, the 20,000-strong Muyun Prefecture army raised their swords and halberds and roared into the camp.
"General, there is no one in the camp." Under the thick smoke, several captains came to report one after another, "If not, lead the troops to search for a few times."
"They must have escaped. They are indeed a mob. Put out the fire first and save the official warehouse."
"General, there is no fire in the official warehouse, there is only thick smoke——"
Buzz.
The speaking captain's voice suddenly stopped, and a wave of hidden flying arrows came from nowhere, turning him into a sieve.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
"How dare these rebels!" Chen Changqing's face turned pale. In the past, if the mob heard that regular troops were coming to kill, they would have fled early.
How dare they ambush a rebel army of less than ten thousand people?
"Spill it down!"
One by one, the dead soldiers of Hutang poured the prepared old well water under the camp. In the past, splashing water would have been a useless thing.
But now it was frosty and snowy, and the soldiers in the camp who had their robes and armor soaked were trembling with cold after only a short while.
When another battalion was in a hurry, the flying knives and arrows were shot through the body and fell down.
"Go to the city!" Xu Mu is not eager to fight. If he waits for the 20,000 soldiers to come to their senses, they will most likely not be able to kill them.
Hearing Xu Mu's words, the three thousand dead soldiers of Hutang used the rope hooks to slide out of the camp.
"What kind of trick is this?" Chen Changqing gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved for a moment.
A captain and a thousand men chased him out of the camp when they were shot back by a burst of flying arrows.
"General, there is an ambush outside."
Chen Changqing laughed angrily, "This little guy, you underestimate him. The traitor said earlier, what is his name?"
"My name is Xu Mu."
"Form up your shield formation and fight your way out of the camp!"
Boom boom boom.
The huge shields were instantly stamped on the snow.
"March." Chen Changqing's voice was cold.
The giant shield moved forward slowly, but at least a mile away, there was no sign of anyone.
"General, these gangsters have escaped!"
"Mysterious—"
Thump thump thump.
Before Chen Changqing could finish speaking, a wave of flying arrows came from the tile roof of the alley on the side. More than a dozen Muyunzhou soldiers fell to the ground in panic.
"Enemy attack, damn it!"
"Shield formation!"
I don't know how long it took, Chen Changqing was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly understood something. Looking back at the thick smoke in the camp, his expression became extremely angry.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Yu Wen led the imperial army of less than a thousand people and kept winding forward in the alley. Behind them, countless battalions roared in pursuit.
"I went to die for my country. Whoever lags behind will be brothers again in the next life." Yu Wen's face darkened.
No one in the Fengzi camp retreated, and bursts of roars broke out.
…
On the street, thick smoke could be seen billowing, and from time to time there were soldiers coming back for reinforcements, hurriedly running towards the south of the city.
Before he could run even halfway, he was ambushed and chased by a large group of beheaded soldiers.
In less than midnight, nearly 10,000 people died.
"Prime Minister, if there is no encirclement and suppression, things will be very bad." Chen Lu approached hesitantly and spoke in a solemn voice.
"The little boss is not a simple person."
Xiao Yuanlu's face was irritable, and he couldn't understand how this chaotic party with less than ten thousand people could make such a big fuss.
"Where is Chen Changqing?"
"Still in the south of the city, chasing the Fengzi camp with less than a thousand people to kill, but there are all lanes there..."
"Is he stupid?"
"The Fengzi Camp is extremely brave and keeps invading through the alleyways. As soon as Muyunzhou's camp soldiers retreat, the dogmen from the Fengzi Camp will shoot them behind. After shooting a few rounds, they will run into the alleyway again."
"I guess Chen Changqing is angry and can't help it anymore."
"That little thing wants to distract the troops defending the city." Xiao Yuanlu frowned coldly, "Immediately notify all the camps in the city to cooperate with the defense of the city first, and no unauthorized actions are allowed."
…
During the fighting in the middle of the night, Xu Mu specially counted the number of people. It was discovered that out of the original 8,000 beheaded troops, there are now less than 6,000 left.
Of the more than three hundred brave and brave soldiers, only a hundred died.
The remaining people were all covered in blood, and they all stood behind Xu Mu. Many of the martyrs also changed their weapons, robes, and armor during the fighting. Together with their resolute expressions, they suddenly became majestic.
Xu Mu pondered calmly. The reinforcements in Changyang City were scattered. If they could seize Ximen City Pass within an hour, great things could be expected.
Simon is close at hand. For a while, it was clear that there were tens of thousands of troops.
Xu Mu took off his iron bow and coldly attached the signal arrow. When the string collapsed, the signal arrow immediately flew into the air and suddenly exploded.
…
Outside the city, Yuan Tao, whose face was full of melancholy, became extremely ecstatic after seeing the signal arrow.
"The army obeys the order!"
"Marquis Dingyuan, I order you to lead an army of 10,000 people and pretend to attack the east gate!"
"Gu Ying, you also lead an army of five thousand to pretend to attack the south gate, mainly to contain the enemy."
"The remaining ones will follow me and rush to kill Ximen!"
"Roar!"
"Push the drum!"
Yuan Tao jumped onto a pushing drum cart. The drum cart was surrounded by charging white-robed soldiers.
Without using the drumstick, Yuan Tao took off the finger tiger. Coldly pointing towards the cowhide drum head, both fists were released steadily.
Boom——
A huge drum sound instantly dispersed the wind and snow.
"The general is not a country, the sun and the moon are upside down. How many people in this world dare to be heroes!" A charging general raised his arms and roared.
"Fifty thousand national salvation camp!" Countless figures in white robes echoed, raising their knives.
