"Brothers, get out of the city quickly!"
Jiang Guanjun made a move with his spear and led everyone out of the city gate.
With the rise of Jinzhu Killing, he refused to give up and pursued and killed the deserters with a machete in his hand.
Amidst bursts of screams, several more rebels died under her scimitar.
"Girl Jin, leave quickly, stop fighting!"
Jiang Guanjun had no choice but to catch up and grabbed Jin Zhu's clothes, "If the Yang rebels come after us, we will be in trouble."
"I've only killed more than thirty people, and it's not satisfying at all!"
Jin Zhu stomped his feet helplessly and followed Jiang Guanjun out of the city, "Yang Yinglong's rebels are not strong in combat effectiveness at all. How about we just lead our brothers to kill them, close the door and beat the dogs, and kill them?"
Jiang Guanjun urged Jinzhu to leave quickly, while reminding: "Don't be careless, the night is chaotic, we attack lightly, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, so we can kill the enemy easily. If we fight face to face with gongs and drums, the enemy will be ten times as strong as us , there is absolutely no possibility of winning.”
Jiang Guanjun knew that the brothers behind him were all battle-hardened veterans, and under the cover of night, the enemy was visible and we were hidden, so killing the rebels was like chopping melons and vegetables.
But if a team of more than 400 people were pulled out to fight against each other, the individual combat effectiveness of those farmers and even the bandits from Wulong Mountain who had only been trained for half a year would not necessarily be stronger than that of the rebels.
With more than 400 people versus more than 4,000 people, a ten-fold difference, it would be difficult for General Qi Jiguang to win even if he were still alive.
The crowd marched in a hurry and soon joined the main force led by Zhu Renxia.
"Third uncle, have you found Tian Zongren?"
Seeing everyone returning safely, Zhu Renxia greeted them with a smile.
Zhu Renxia has 100% confidence in the combat capabilities of this ace team.
With Jiang Guanjun's martial arts skills and Jin Zhu as his deputy, it can be said that it is a piece of cake to lead the battle-hardened Qi Army to carry out a "decapitation mission" in the melee.
"The head is here."
Jiang Guanjun shook his head on his shoulder and said, "Tian Zongren, Tian Wen and his son have all been beheaded. Tonight they are all eliminated."
"Check the casualties of your brothers." Zhu Renxia reminded carefully.
After Xu Le and Hou Jie counted them, they found that there were thirty people when they entered the city and fifteen pairs when they came back.
No one died and only three suffered minor injuries.
One was hit by an arrow in the back, one was hit by a knife in the shoulder, and the other's calf was injured by an iron ball fired from a musket.
The three of them could be called heroes. Although their shirts were dyed red with blood, they all gritted their teeth and remained silent.
"Let me bandage you!"
Jin Zhu ordered people to bring his medical kit, and under the light of torches, he quickly bandaged the three wounded.
Looking at Liping City with flames soaring into the sky in the distance, Jiang Guanjun couldn't help but sigh.
"Although we killed Tian Zongren through the Liping City Rebellion, avenged the blood feud and eradicated the Tian family's threat to Chang'an Town, we also caused great harm to the people in the city. I am afraid that there will be many families and people killed tonight."
Zhu Renxia sighed: "One general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones being withered. If Tian Zongren is not eliminated, he will keep causing trouble for us in Chang'an Town."
Jiang Guanjun said angrily: "What is hateful is that Yang Yinglong's rebels were undisciplined after entering the city and plundered the people wantonly. If he could strictly restrain his men, the people would not suffer."
"Then get rid of Lu Xiong, the culprit, and avenge the people of Liping City!"
Jin Zhu stood in the biting cold wind, letting her bright red cloak blow loudly.
She said: "Since Yang Yinglong decided to rebel, the people of Guizhou are destined to be affected by the war. The Tian and Yang families have been grudged for a long time. Even if Yang Yinglong does not come to attack Liping today, he will come sooner or later. The war in Liping City It’s inevitable, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Zhu Renxia frowned, and an idea to get rid of Lu Xiong quickly emerged in his mind.
Jiang Guanjun showed a wry smile: "If we could have a thousand men and horses, I would dare to fight the rebels. But we only have more than 400 people, so it is difficult to win. Let's leave this grudge for now until we have a stronger army in the future. , and then assisting the imperial court in eradicating Yang Yinglong will be regarded as avenging the people of Liping City."
Zhu Renxia said: "There is a saying that it is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, but it is difficult to prevent them. Let's calculate with intention and unintentional. I believe that Lu Xiong will definitely fall into the trap. Before dawn, I will let him send his head over by himself."
Zhu Renxia immediately described his plan to Jiang Guanjun and Jin Zhu in detail, and the two agreed repeatedly after listening.
"It seems you can try it."
Zhu Renxia nodded: "Then follow my plan. I will go to the city to defraud Lu Xiong. You take the brothers and walk twenty miles east to ambush around the valley."
"Yang Yinglong's men deceived Tian Zongren's men, and now we have to deceive Yang Yinglong's men again. This night is really fun."
Thinking of being able to kill bad guys again, Jin Zhu smiled brightly again, "It is such a pleasant thing to do justice for heaven, punish evil and promote good!"
Jiang Guanjun was a little worried about Zhu Renxia's personal adventure: "How about I go? If Lu Xiong finds out, I can still fight out."
"Don't worry, third uncle. Now that Lu Xiong trusts me, I will definitely be able to trick him out of Liping City and make him fall into a trap."
Zhu Renxia got on his horse and headed west towards Liping City with Ding Xiao and a dozen Qi soldiers who did not participate in the battle.
Jiang Guanjun led more than 400 people to march eastward as planned and set up an ambush in a valley 20 miles due east that was suitable for an ambush, waiting for Zhu Renxia to trick Lu Xiong out of Liping City and surrender himself to the trap.
By the time Zhu Renxia arrived at Liping City, the east had already turned white, the fighting in the city was coming to an end, and the shouts and noises gradually disappeared.
Lu Xiong sent people to control the four city gates. After some counting, he found that he had lost more than 800 people, annihilated 1,300 people from Tian's army, and captured more than 600 people.
All the money, cloth, weapons, armor, grain and other baggage in Liping City's warehouse were seized, which was regarded as a great victory.
The only thing that made Lu Xiong dissatisfied was that a fire broke out in the prefect's Yamen and was burned into ruins.
Tian Zongren, the head of the Tian family in Sizhou and the prefect of Liping, is missing. It is not known whether he died in the fire or escaped by taking advantage of the chaos.
This made Lu Xiong very dissatisfied, as if he had eaten a fly out of a delicious dish.
"Count the burned prefecture offices for me. Even if Tian Zongren is burned to ashes, you must find him for me!"
"General, Jiang Renxia from Wulong Mountain is asking for an audience outside the East City Gate."
At this moment, the soldier guarding the east gate came on horseback to report, "He said he has something important to report to you, related to the whereabouts of Tian Zongren."
"Oh...this is so good!"
Lu Xiong was overjoyed and murmured to himself, could it be that Tian Zongren escaped from the city gate and was caught by the people from Wulong Mountain?
He hurriedly sent someone to find Cao Bin and asked, "Did the people from Wulong Mountain follow you into the city?"
Cao Bin cupped his hands and said, "The general was afraid of being robbed of his credit by these bandits, so he didn't let Yang Dali enter the city. He just asked him to lead his men to form an array in the east of the city to prevent reinforcements from coming to support Tian Zongren."
"As expected!"
Lu Xiong stroked his thick beard and was filled with emotion, "Your move was really wrong. Tian Zongren was probably captured by the people from Wulong Mountain after he escaped from the city."
"The East City Gate was indeed opened for a period of time. What a damn unlucky thing!"
Cao Bin depressedly slashed into the air with his knife, muttering while venting his anger.
"Liu Yong of a hundred households was killed by a team. Nearly half of the 200 people guarding the city gate were killed or injured. The east city gate was lost for less than half an hour. Tian Zongren probably escaped from Liping City within this time. It was really a mistake. These bandits from the mountains!”
Lu Xiong stroked his beard and said with a bad smile: "Even if you raise a dog, you still have to throw bones to them, right? Anyway, the credit for entering the city first tonight is yours, Cao Bin's, and it is indeed thanks to the people of Wulong Mountain We just broke through the city easily, so it doesn’t hurt to give them some credit!”
After asking about the situation, Lu Xiong ordered the messenger: "Go to the east city gate and bring that Jiang Renxia to see me. I would like to see if he has anything important to report to me."
"yes."
The rebel agreed, got on his horse, and galloped towards the east gate.
