C118 08's Cruel Scheme(2)

There are only dead generals, no retreating cowards. The vanguard general knew that if he continued, he would be eaten up by the Great Zhou people hiding in the shadows. However, he did not dare to say that he would retreat. The enemies were elusive, and the wilderness was unfamiliar. He did not dare to set up camp. After looking at the map for a while, he found that there was a small town in Anyang, Danxia Prefecture, about ten miles to the north. If the front troops could reach there, there was still hope for them to try their best.

Hence, he ordered them to change the route to the north. Qi Tushan County would go to Anyang first. After contacting the Third Prince, they would join forces to take Tu Shan.

The Third Prince's ten thousand troops were similarly miserable. It was clear that everything went smoothly for the front troops of the border county. When it was the back troops' turn to enter the city, the city gates suddenly collapsed, blocking the hundreds of soldiers outside the city.

When the panic in the city calmed down, they realized that there were no enemy troops at all. There was only fire. Clear of the collapsed city bricks to clear the road. Hundreds of people died outside the city, but none of them were good people.

The Third Prince did not even see the shadow of the enemy and lost a few hundred people. He immediately became angry from embarrassment and ordered the army to pass through the small county to attack Tushan.

After walking for less than two hours, they had already entered the hills. The road was rugged, and the Third Prince suddenly felt that something was wrong. He ordered the army to move slowly. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to wake up. At this moment, it was already too late.

A few days ago, when the general of the Talisman Pavilion revealed his plan, Zhang Zhao, who was in charge of guarding the county, was somewhat worried. Fu Ting had said so at that time, "Not exactly. Even though they were also the ones who cut off the head and ate the tail, the second time is completely different." He then pointed at the map and said: "The main army came from the north, this place is like a gourd Look... although the two ends of the path at the canyon entrance are meandering, the field of vision is wide. Only this ten feet path looks like the middle part of a gourd. If you don't pay attention, you won't suspect that there's a trap here."

When Zhang Zhao left, he did indeed have doubts in his heart. It was only when the Third Prince rushed into the ambush circle without any preparation that he left. Only then did he sincerely praise, "Ting Zhizhen is a true god." With a command, the Great Zhou soldiers used their old strategy to push down the round wooden rocks from the mountain and cut the Great Zheng Cavalry in half. However, this time was different from the last time. The front army only had a hundred people. Amongst them was the 3rd Prince of Great Zheng.

In order to ensure that the assassination of the Hu Manor Master was successful, Zhang Zhao's forces swiftly charged out from both sides. They risked their lives to block the path and prevent the reinforcements from saving the Third Prince. Ye Qingcheng led his forces to attack the rear of the army. The main army was in a mess.

The furious third prince at the mouth of the gourd knew that he had fallen into a trap. He ordered more than a hundred soldiers to move the boulders and logs to clear the path, wanting to join the army.

Countless rockets suddenly flew out from the darkness. A wall of fire appeared at the canyon's entrance. Explosions sounded out, and the soldiers who cleared the road were blasted into pieces.

Dozens of servants under the Manor Master threw torches out of the forest, and they used all their strength to throw out torches. They drew their weapons and charged forward. In an instant, a fire wall that was ten feet tall was lit up on the official road, and the hundreds of people around the Third Prince were divided into two groups once again.

The soldier in charge of the fire wall knew that the Third Prince was on the other side of the fire wall, but he had to deal with the Hu Manor soldiers who were fighting with their lives on the line. He could not help the Third Prince, who was in danger.

On the other side of the wall of fire, the Hu family's master and more than ten martial masters with powerful martial arts skills took out their weapons and charged at the Third Prince and his remaining guards.

The Hu family's master knew that no matter how brilliant Fu Ting's plan was, he would not be able to escape. The enemy was outnumbered, and the 2,000 water troops on the wall could not hold out for long against the 10,000 cavalry. If they did not take down the Third Prince's head as soon as possible, the Great True Army would recover. This place would be the burial ground of the Tu Shan navy.

Ignoring the principles of the Pugilistic World, he attacked with a poisonous concealed weapon. The Third Prince's personal guards could not dodge such a small killing weapon. Instantly, several people fell. "Brother, it's all up to you." The men of sacrifice rushed to a spot not far from the Third Prince's mount and shouted, "Light the fire." Three flaming darts flew out from the side of the mountain road, and all three darts were shot at the men of sacrifice.

"Boom!" With a loud sound, a big hole appeared where the Third Prince was. The people around him were all thrown ten feet away.

The Hu Manor owner could not care less about finding the lost weapon. He struggled to get up from the ground and took a few steps to grab the dead horse. He casually picked up a large knife and chopped off the Third Prince's head. "The Third Prince's head is here. All of you, get off your horses and surrender!"

After the Hu Manor Master and the others succeeded, they could no longer continue fighting. According to the agreement, before the fire died down, they would quickly escape into the forest with the injured people.

The soldiers who lost their opponents quickly realized that the Third Prince had lost his head. In panic and panic, they did not have the time to think about it and shouted, "The Third Prince died in battle!" They dragged half of the body of the dead body over the round wood. "The head of the Third Prince was cut off by the enemy..."

"Retreat! All troops, retreat from Danxia!" The deputy general who was stopped at the mouth of the gourd saw the corpse with his own eyes and gave the order to retreat, "All troops, retreat!"

Ye Qingcheng and Zhangzhao clearly heard this. The pavilion leader repeatedly warned the poor not to chase. They pretended to stop the Grand Righteous Cavalry and let them escape. When the Grand Righteous Army fled to Shadowless, Manor Master Hu led the wounded to retreat. The two of them took inventory of the number of people and redistributed the troops. They took the Third Prince's head and weapons and split into two groups. They charged into the Great Zheng army waiting for the Third Prince's army in Anyang County.

About ten miles away from the county, Ye Qingcheng led the troops and met up with the bailiffs who were in charge of the ambush. The Marquis was on the path that the vanguard had to take.
