Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 674 Confrontation
Zhao Zhen frowned after hearing this.

Although he had known for a long time that he was just a nobody among the many countries in the [Floating Continent], he still felt angry after hearing this.

He was immediately angrily asked: "Who will help me catch this thief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing rode out on their horses.

Peng Hu saw this and pointed at the two deputy generals on his left and right and said, "This fellow has no one to fight with, but he sent two women to fight. Tao Yongfeng, Tao Yongling, you two don't have wives yet. If you capture them, I will ask the king to grant you two marriages."

Tao Yongfeng and Tao Yongling laughed after hearing this and said, "Thank you, General."

After saying that, the two of them rode out and headed straight for Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing.

When they came forward, Tao Yongling saw that both of them were beautiful women, and he teased them, "Young ladies, swords and spears have no eyes, follow me back to the battlefield, and live happily at home with me from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two female generals were already annoyed. They shouted and ran away separately.

Tao Yongfeng and Tao Yongling had never seen such a heroic woman before. They were unable to control their passion and their hands and feet became limp. By the time the two men came to kill them, they had lost control of their spears and swords.

After hearing the two men's frivolous words, Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing were unwilling to show any mercy. They attacked with two knives and one gun, trying their best to kill them.

Within ten rounds, Hu Sanniang chopped Tao Yongling off his horse with a knife, and Chen Liqing stabbed Tao Yongfeng to death with a spear.

The two female generals showed off their might in front of the battlefield.

Peng Hu cursed, "You two have never seen a woman before."

Wang Bo saw that two of his generals had been killed, and he shouted, "Who will help me capture these two girls? If we conquer Liang, I will make him a county commander."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of bells rang out, and two lieutenants came out first.

When Wang Bo looked, he saw that they were Lu Kun and Bai Hui. They were originally garrison commanders in the Sui army, but later joined him. Their martial arts skills were also among the best in the army.

At that moment, Wang Bo felt relieved.

In the dust and murderous atmosphere, two female generals of Liang State faced two deputy generals of Wang Bo's army. After fighting for more than thirty rounds, Hu Sanniang gradually lost her strength and turned her horse around and ran away. Lu Kun wanted to see the credit, so he was unwilling to give up and rode over.

Yizhangqing hung his two swords on the saddle, took out a dart knife from his dart bag, waited for Lukun's horse to get close, turned his head and threw it, shouting, "Take it."

After hearing this, Lu Kun hurriedly tried to hide, and the dart flew past his ear.

Lu Kun reached out and touched it, and found that half of the ear was gone. He was furious and said, "Where are you going, bitch?"

Just as he was about to chase her, he saw Hu Sanniang had turned her horse around and slashed at him with the sun and moon swords in her hands. Lu Kun hurriedly responded, but after fighting for only five or seven rounds, Hu Sanniang turned her horse and ran away.

Lu Kun thought to himself, "This bitch is no match for me. She relies on hidden weapons to hurt people. If I don't seize the opportunity to capture her, when will I be able to do that?"

But he secretly took a small shield from his horse and rode forward.

Hu Sanniang heard the horses approaching from behind, so she threw the red brocade lasso into the air, looking at him in a friendly way. Lu Kun responded with his small shield, catching him off guard and dragging him off his horse. Gu Dasao, the mother insect, and Hua Baoyan, the anxious dragonfly, rushed out and captured Lu Kun.

On the other side, Bai Hui was unable to defeat Chen Liqing and could only block her. He found an opportunity and turned his horse around and left.

When Chen Liqing saw this, she did not chase after him. She immediately took her gun, picked up the bow in her left hand, took the arrow in her right hand, put the arrow on, pulled the bow to the full draw, aimed at Bai Hui's back, and shot him off his horse with just one arrow.

When the Liang soldiers saw this, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing rose into the sky.

Wang Bo said, "General Peng, if you don't come out now, when will you come out?" Peng Hu heard this and dismounted from his horse, ran out in front of the battle line and shouted, "Who dares to fight me on foot?"

In Liang State, it was Wu Song, the [Subduing the Tiger Tai Sui], who came out with two swords to kill.

This Peng Hu uses a bamboo steel whip, and is very good on and off horseback, especially in foot combat. Today, after losing four lieutenant generals in a row, he dismounted his horse and decided to fight on foot.

Who would have thought that the infantry generals of Liang State were already ready to take action.

The two men didn't say a word, and they started killing each other in front of the battle, one whip and two knives. The two knives flashed coldly, and the whip was cold and sinister.

After fighting for a long time, it was like a flying phoenix welcoming a luan; after fighting for a short time, it was like a horned eagle catching a rabbit.

The two fought for twenty rounds. Peng Hu was exposed by Wu Song and was hit on the head by Peng Hu's whip. Wu Song turned around and saw it was happening. He swung his sword and Peng Hu's head rolled to the side and his body fell on the spot.

When Zhao Zhen saw Wang Bo's position, his morale had already been dampened. He pointed with the ivory whip in his hand, and all three armies, large and small, charged forward together.

The chariots and cavalry were in the front, followed by the infantry, and the artillery was in the front. Wang Bo's army was hit hard, and the soldiers and horses were killed, and the flags and drums were flying.

The army hacked and killed all the way to Diaowo Valley. The soldiers of Wang Bo's army who stayed behind hurriedly closed the gate of the village, and ash bottles and pestle rained down.

Zhao Zhen ordered the horn to be sounded and the troops to be gathered and set foot in the camp.

At the hour mark, each team won a great victory, killing or capturing more than 60,000 soldiers of Wang Bo's army. The three who fought and killed the generals were Hu Sanniang, Chen Liqing, and Wu Song. In particular, the captives said that the person Wu Song killed was Peng Hu, a general in Wang Bo's army.

The credit for the mark had been confirmed, but Zhao Zhen's anxious heart had long since been put at ease.

There were more than 6000 prisoners captured in World War I, and these people alone were enough to offset the points of luck spent.

Zhao Zhen was not in a hurry to attack the stronghold. After resting for two days, he drove away the captives in Wang Bo's army and planned to attack the city.

The prisoners were organized into 40 teams of 1,000 men each, and with the support of the Shooting and Artillery Battalions, they attacked one after another. After seven or eight days of continuous attack, the towers and arrow towers in front of the Diaowu Valley were all destroyed.

Of the forty thousand-man teams, only thirty-two fully staffed thousand-man teams were left.

In Diaowuyu Village, Wang Bo, Nao Tianlong and Zhang Qing all had worried faces.

I thought I had picked an easy target, but it turned out to be a tough one. The front camp was about to be captured. In the past few days, the soldiers were tired and restless after fighting every day. Their morale was extremely low. The people they were fighting with every day were from the village a few days ago.

Nao Tianlong said: "My king, the front camp is about to be lost. If it is broken by Liang State, we will have no place to hide. For now, it is better to take the elite troops and fight out at night to make a comeback."

Zhang Qing also advised: "I have the same opinion. Diaowo Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road out of the valley. If it is breached, we will be trapped in a jar with nowhere to escape."

Wang Bo said: "Now that we have lost our old nest, where else can we go?"

"My lord, there are plenty of unowned lands in the fog. Just go and occupy one." Zhang Qing said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The king has 8,000 elite soldiers under his command, and they can go anywhere. When they become strong enough one day, we will come back to take revenge." Nao Tianlong said hurriedly.

Wang Bo listened and nodded, saying, "Tell the soldiers to get ready. We will go out of the camp tomorrow and fight him, and then break out at night."

After hearing this, Zhang Qing and Nao Tianlong went downstairs and prepared to escape.
