C21 Roll over, chrysanthemum! Lower)
Four hours later, five miles away from the stronghold, in the jungle.
"Send the notice down. Hide yourselves well." "General Zhang, you will lead 300 soldiers to go to the camp first and use the fire as the signal. When the fire breaks out, I will lead the troops to attack the stronghold. Please clear the stables at the entrance of the stronghold for us."
"I know, General Wu, don't worry. Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, he led 300 of his soldiers and quietly moved towards the camp.
When they were almost to the entrance of the camp, General Zhang and three hundred of his men bent down to observe them. After observing for a while, they signaled their soldiers, who understood and commanded them to shoot their crossbow arrows at the guards, while four or five more soldiers circled around from both sides of the camp's gate. There was no sound at all from the whole process.
Seeing that everything was going well, General Zhang immediately commanded the soldiers to move away from the stables and forcibly took over the entrance of the camp.
He successfully won the battle at the camp's entrance. Seeing the huge pile of food not too far away from the camp, General Zhang Mo's eyes reddened. This huge credit was going to fall onto his shoulders. Tell the soldiers to prepare the oil of fire and charge to the fodder pile with three hundred men.
However, he did not see a faint glimmer of cold light from the high place where the men were gathered.
There were still ten meters left.
Five meters left.
Three meters left.
"Prepare to light the fire!" Zhang Mo roared.
However, just as they roared out, before they could disperse the flames, countless soldiers ran out from the surrounding tents with swords and shields. They surrounded the three hundred people who had not dispersed yet, and forced them to move towards the center of the field.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap." General Zhang Mo shouted. The soldiers beside him drew their sabers as well, ready to face the enemy.
"Oh, he's not stupid after all." A mocking voice rang out from the newly lit tent.
"Who are you?"
"A sneak attack, and you still want to ask who I am? I mean, are you stupid? Stupid? Or stupid? "
"Today, we admit defeat, I'm willing to surrender."
"Surrender? You wish? "If you want to come, come. If you want to go, go. If you want to leave, go. Where in the world did such a good thing come from?" Gongsun Ztian was furious. He shamelessly protested and raised an objection.
"Young Master, you're too shameless!" The young maid, who was behind Gongsun Ze Tian, poked him and whispered.
"I am not shameless, he is shameless." Gongsun Zaitian did not admit.
"Since this young general doesn't agree with us surrendering, I can only go all out and fight to the death. I even killed a few at the entrance of the camp just now, so it wouldn't be too bad if I were to kill another one hundred or two of your men." Zhang Mo was indeed worthy of his title as a general. When the time came, he would be extremely ruthless to himself as well.
"Oh, the ones at the door? That's your scouts, and I still want to keep them. You guys killed them so quickly ? " Gongsun Zaitian seemed to be innocent as he explained helplessly.
"You ?" Zhang Mo recalled that those people were killed too easily. It was obvious that they had fainted. Thinking of this, he was infuriated.
"You still want to fight to the death? Just you? "Tell them, is it possible?" Gongsun Ztian shouted to the soldiers around him.
"Kill ?" The soldiers shouted in unison.
This shout was like a signal. The entire camp was set ablaze with flames, and the nearby grain was also lit up, instantly illuminating the surroundings.
"Crash!" A wave of shield sounds rang out.
The three hundred people on the field retreated to the center of an open field after being hit by the impact.
And then ?
"Ah... Ah... Help ?. Ah... What is this... "It's scalding me to death..."
Miserable screams rang out.
A huge crater suddenly appeared in the center of the originally flat area, causing the three hundred people to fall into it. The crater was surrounded by special treatment, and a lot of oil was poured onto the sides, making it so that it was slippery and impossible to climb. The bottom of the pit was covered with burning stones. Let your buttocks face down, the enemy generals that pacified the sand and wild geese complained incessantly.
"Hua ?" A sound of water being poured in.
"It's not that the flowers prefer the chrysanthemums, but that the flowers are more floral when bloomed." Looking at the petals of the chrysanthemum that were rolling in the cup, Gongsun Ze Tian chanted a poem in an incomparably coquettish manner.
"Third Uncle, how about some? This kind of scented tea tastes pretty good."
"Hua ?" Another splash.
This time, it was a deep pit outside the tent. Several pots of boiling water were poured into the pit, and the screams were even louder.
"Third Uncle, this is called 'Scram, Chrysanthemum'." Gongsun Zaitian held a teacup in his hand as he looked at his Third Uncle with respect.
"Reporting ?" Reporting to the Young General, about five miles away from the camp, there is a troop of about three thousand cavalrymen moving towards our camp at high speed. "
"Okay, I got it, it's going according to plan. Inform the Deputy General Cheng, the rest is up to them. "
"Yes, this subordinate will inform the Deputy General Cheng right away."
"Third Uncle, stop eating. Leave me some." You have so much meat, why are you not afraid of being full to the point of death. "
"I'm willing to die from the pressure."
"..." In the face of a glutton's obsession, Gongsun Zaitian was quite impressed.
Outside the tent.
"Kill! General Zhang has succeeded! Charge!" Wu Zigong led his horse and commanded the soldiers under him to increase their speed as they rushed towards the army camp.
The three thousand man team were like arrows that left their bowstrings as they shot towards the camp's gate.
"This leader of the generals is really afraid of death!" "He let the team rush to the front while he ran to the middle of the team himself." Deputy General Cheng and a few other deputy Generals beside him said.
When I heard about the plan, I even felt that it was a bit of a fantasy. Now, I'm more and more impressed by the wisdom of the young general. A deputy general beside Deputy General Cheng spoke up.
"That's right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, the plans that the young general has made are now clear. Everyone get ready, it's time for us to go on stage." Deputy General Cheng interrupted their thoughts and ordered.
"This subordinate understands." Everyone mounted their horses and began their preparations.
A journey of five miles was equivalent to less than a bag of cigarettes for a light cavalry unit.
Soon, the cavalry vanguard was close to the entrance of the camp.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
The cavalrymen at the front parted their heads, but the horses continued on. Soon after, the cavalry army passed through the entrance of the camp one by one, but all of them 'agreed'.
In time, the frontline cavalry soldiers discovered that something was wrong and stopped their horses one after another, but for the advancing cavalry troops, the frontline suddenly 'braked', and as a result, they fell to the ground, becoming extremely chaotic. The rear cavalry continued to strike the frontlines, and the frontlines tried to pull their horses back, bumping into people, horses bumping into horses, and people riding on horses.
"What's going on?" Wu Zigong realised the chaos and shouted loudly.
"Sir, there seems to be an ambush. The front of the army was attacked by an unknown force and they suffered heavy losses." The assistant general by the side led his horse and explained it to Wu Zigong with much difficulty.
"F * ck, why aren't you leaving with me?" Wu Zigong did not care about him at all, turned his horse around and started running towards Dragon Wolf Pass.
"Follow," the deputy general said to the remaining soldiers who were barely able to stabilize their horses.
Just as Wu Zigong was escaping with his handicapped veterans, many soldiers and generals appeared within and outside of the camp, surrounding the enemy troops at the entrance. The swords and shields were in front, the bows and arrows were behind, the arrows and arrows were flying together.
After Wu Zigong led his troops and ran a few kilometers, seeing that there were no pursuers, Wu Zigong and his assistants stopped with the remaining troops and started to count the people.
"How many of us are left?"
"General, there's less than a thousand left."
"Damn it, didn't they say that Situ Qingyun had always fought head on against his enemies? Even if they had known we were coming, they would have been surrounded by the army. How could they have made us get into such a mess for no reason? What exactly happened? " Wu Zigong was completely puzzled.
"What is going on?" Third uncle was also confused.
"It was all because I nailed the pillars during the day. There, I pulled a few pieces of metal wire. This metal is extremely tough, and after the wire was formed, it became exceptionally sharp. I placed it in front of the door to test it out." It was not easy for Gongsun Ztian to grab a piece of lamb leg. Just as he was about to take a bite, his third uncle interrupted him and explained.
"Eh, that piece of yours isn't ready yet, right?" Third Uncle asked.
"Where?"
"Here, let me see!"
"Oh!"
"Ah, I was wrong, it's done grilling... "Un, it's really delicious!"
"..." Gongsun Zaitian gritted his teeth.
No one gave him an explanation for Wu Zigong's doubts, just as he was about to fix it and rush to Dragon Wolf Pass, suddenly fighting shouts sounded out. Surprised, Wu Zigong and the others broke out in cold sweat. They immediately mounted their horses and discovered that the pursuers were coming from the left rear.
"Hurry up and leave." Wu Zigong could only lead the group in a different direction. It seemed that they were going to take a detour.
"This damned Zhou Jun!" Wu Zigong scolded.
After running a few miles, suddenly.
"Ah... "Ah ?" Consecutive shouts.
"Trip!" Wu Zigong saw that the leading troops of a few dozen people had flipped over, and there were even a few deep craters in front of him.
"Fuck, it's an ambush. Quickly dismount and retreat into the forest." Wu Zigong knew that he had entered into a trap set up by the enemies.
There were traps in front and pursuers behind, so he could only abandon his horse and enter the forest.
"General, our mission is complete. The enemy has fled into the forest." One of the Academy Officer riders that had caught up with them said to the deputy general beside him.
"Well, our job is done, and the rest is up to them. I want to see if there are any that are still alive. Oh right, bring all the valuable things back to me, you know how the young generals do, and the horses. Right, take off those ropes as well, we can still use them next time ? " The deputy general on horseback was the conductor who kept on talking.
As a result, when they left, there were no living beings on the ground, and the dead one was a clean one.
"General, general, there are no more pursuers behind us." The assistant general ran over and said to Wu Zigong.
Hearing that there were no more pursuers, everyone immediately collapsed to the ground to rest.
"Heaven does not destroy me, the heavens do not destroy me. Haha "Wu Zigong escaped another calamity.
"How many are left?"
"There are less than five hundred people left. "And each one of them is injured."
"Mm, let's take a detour and go back."
"Eh, what smell is this?" A soldier said.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zigong asked.
"Reporting to General, this lowly one was born into a mountain hunter family, this kind of smell is very familiar, it seems ?" It seems like ? It's the snake thread incense, and it's the snake thread incense! "
"What's that?" Wu Zigong didn't understand, but he had a bad feeling about this.
"General, quickly leave this place. The snake thread incense can attract poisonous snakes from within a radius of five kilometers." The soldier said anxiously.
"F * ck, get up and leave." Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a faint sound from the surroundings.
"There's a snake, a poisonous snake, ah ?" "Ah ?" Terrified screams were mixed in with the screams.
"Hurry up and leave." Wu Zigong took the lead, and stopped caring about the direction, as long as it was not the way he came. He buried his head into the ground and ran madly.
"Hurry, there's a pool of water up ahead, hurry and enter the pool." Seeing that there was a pond in front of him, Wu Zigong was overjoyed. The snake thread incense attracted the snakes to leave the place, and the water in front of him could just barely remove the scent of the snake thread incense that was on him.
"Haha, the heavens will not kill me! The heavens will bless me!" Wu Zigong jumped into the pool and howled to the sky.
"Is that so?" A teasing voice came from a hill above the pool.
This voice sent a chill down Wu Zigong's spine.
"Do you want to die or do you want to live?" Deputy General Cheng asked, while asking, he commanded the soldiers to surround the entire pond with their crossbows and crossbows, trapping Wu Zigong's soldiers inside.
"Hmph. You're all ruthless. I admit defeat, but if we resist with all our might, you won't be able to bear the consequences. Why not each take a step back?"
"In the beginning, you would have immediately resisted. I might have been at a disadvantage, but now ? "Too late."
"What did you say?"
"There's medicine in this pool. Do you feel weak in your limbs? Are you feeling dizzy?" Deputy General Cheng explained as if he was playing a prank.
"You ? You poisoned him? "
"Don't... This isn't my masterpiece, this is what our young general wants. "Haha!" Deputy General Cheng was especially happy.
"The heavens want me to die ?" This was the last thought that came to Wu Zigong's mind before he lost it.
