Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 226 Dead end

Zhao Kai had no time to rest because he received another message as soon as he entered the tent.

Ou Zanghua, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, led 20,000 troops and sailed down the river. After disembarking in Jingshan County, he headed straight for Anlu Prefecture.

"Where are you?"

As soon as he entered the camp, Zhao Kai immediately asked.

Liu Hui said solemnly: "We have arrived at Muzi Town, only fifty miles away from here."

"Why were they discovered only now? Where are our spies?" Zhao Kai looked a little angry. He had clearly arranged that the spies should be released over a distance of eighty miles.

The leader of the spies of the Western Route Army bowed and said, "Reporting to the deputy marshal, we still don't know how Ou Zanghua's troops appeared in Muzi Town, but at this time yesterday, no trace of them was found."

"We can't stay here anymore, let's move to Yunmeng County! There is no other way out." Liu Hui looked at Zhao Kai and said.

Zhao Kai nodded in understanding. If he stayed here, he might be surrounded by Qiu Yue, Peng Ze and Ou Zanghua tomorrow, and he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.

So the two men immediately gave orders to the entire army to cook, and after they had eaten and drunk their fill, they would move directly out of the camp.

A large army of more than 30,000 people was able to move as quickly as they were told. They were truly worthy of their origin as bandits, and efficiency was their top priority.

When Ou Zanghua received the news, the other party had already slipped out of the encirclement of the three parties.

He pointed to a river between the two on the map with some amusement, and said sarcastically: "There is also the Yu River ahead of us. It is inconvenient for infantry and cavalry to cross the river. Don't they even bet on this?"

Ling Xiao, the deputy commander of Tianjin Garrison, looked at the map and analyzed with a bit of pride: "It's probably because they are bandits, and their troops are seriously insufficient. They don't have the confidence to fight against us, so at the slightest sign of trouble, they will immediately run away like a frightened rabbit."

"No, no, no, the problem is not with us." Ou Zanghua denied decisively and said, "It must be that the border troops are too powerful and have broken their courage."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately nodded and said, "Master Ou is indeed very observant. I was mistaken."

Ou Zanghua looked up at everyone and said, "Order Captain Zuo to lead the cavalry battalion across the river, and order the infantry battalion to go down along the river to maintain deterrence against the bandit army."

"Yes!"

Qiu Yue and Peng Ze also started to act. The cavalrymen under their command were dispatched one after another to eliminate the spies outside the enemy army, making Liu Hui and Zhao Qian blind and they could only follow the previously planned route.

Two days later, in the northern area of ​​the Jianghan Plain in Xinpu Town, De'an Prefecture, the Three Thousand Battalion successfully blocked the front of the Western Route Army. Behind them, the border troops led by Peng Ze were approaching rapidly, and to the west, the cavalry battalion of Zuo Lengchan's troops was approaching.

Liu Hui and Zhao Kai had no choice but to break through the three thousand camps to have a chance of survival.

The war drums rumbled, and the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.

The cavalry led by Liu Zi and Xing Bendao rushed towards the Three Thousand Camp like a violent storm, and the dust raised by their horses' hooves covered the sky.

"Brothers, if we kill one, we will break even. If we kill two, we will make a profit. Charge!"

Xing Bendao's voice echoed on the battlefield, shaking people's hearts like thunder. He held up a huge battle axe, and the sunlight flashed a cold light on the axe blade. The veins on his neck bulged, and his face was hideous, like a devil from hell.

"kill!"

Following Xing Bendao's roar, the bandit cavalry seemed to be injected with endless courage. They raised their spears and swords high and charged forward in unison, with unstoppable momentum.

They were so united and so ready to die. If such cavalrymen met the garrison soldiers, they would probably be able to disperse them in one round.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Three Thousand Battalion led by Qiu Yue.

The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion did not show the slightest panic in the face of the enemy's charge. They raised their muskets indifferently, their eyes as calm as if they were looking at weeds.

Led by Qiu Yue, they followed the horses and began to speed up. The sounds of their iron hooves hitting the ground gradually gathered together, like thunder.

They were like tigers out of a cage, rushing towards the enemy army with unstoppable momentum.

Every time the iron gun was fired, it was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the smoke and fire intertwined together, almost drowning out the roar of the bandit army.

When the bullets were all used up and only smoke and echoes remained on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion threw away their muskets without hesitation.

Their movements were swift and firm. Without the slightest hesitation, they drew out the long swords hanging on their horses' backs. The long swords flashed coldly in the sun, and they chopped at the opposite side without mercy.

Xing Bendao and Liu Zi noticed Qiu Yue, who looked like a martial god descending from the sky. They looked at each other and rushed forward, spurring their horses and saying, "Qiu Yue, give me your life!"

Liu Zi held a halberd in his hand, the tip of the halberd flashing with cold light, like a silver dragon shuttling across the battlefield. He urged his horse to charge at Qiu Yue like a flash of lightning, and the halberd pierced Qiu Yue's chest with a force of a thousand pounds.

Xing Bendao was wielding a large axe. The axe was heavy, but he wielded it with ease. He followed Liu Zi and rushed towards Qiu Yue. The axe chopped towards Qiu Yue's head with a sound of breaking through the air.

Qiu Yue was not at all flustered when facing the siege of two people. He shook his spear and shook off Liu Zi's halberd, then used his spear to block, and actually with one hand resisted Xing Bendao's two-handed axe.

Xing Bendao's eyes widened immediately. What the hell is this monster? !
Even the so-called "inhuman" cattle breed cannot withstand his axe blow with one hand!
However, Qiu Yue did not give Xing Bendao much time to be shocked. He pulled back with one hand and thrust the spear forward as fast as lightning.

Xing Bendao quickly put away his axe and went back to defend himself, but he could see Qiu Yue shooting out his gun, but his body could not keep up.

With a "swish", Xing Bendao was pierced through the chest by Qiu Yue's gun, and was dragged forward a few steps.

Then Qiu Yue threw the burly man hanging on the gun head out with one hand.

Liu Zi on the side was stunned. Xing Bendao couldn't avoid such a simple move. This kind of monster shouldn't appear here!
Liu Zi was so scared that he immediately turned his horse around and ran away. Xing Bendao was one point stronger than him, but he was killed in one move. If he went up, he would be courting death.

His running immediately caused a chain reaction. A group of cavalrymen followed him and left the battlefield without knowing why, and another group was left behind due to the chaos.

Liu Hui, who was standing behind him, saw this and shouted angrily, "Liu Zi, this idiot, is ruining my business!"

Zhao Kai was commanding his infantry to form a formation to deal with the border troops chasing from the rear, but he did not expect that the front would suddenly collapse, allowing Qiu Yue to successfully kill his way through the cavalry and rush towards their headquarters.

On the other side, Liu Zi fled the battlefield with nearly a hundred cavalrymen, but in his panic, he didn't run far before he was blocked by another group of cavalrymen.

Zuo Lengchan rode a tall horse and slowly drew out his long sword, with thousands of cavalrymen behind him.

He shouted indifferently: "Get off your horse, those who surrender will not be killed!"

Liu Zi turned around suddenly. Although he couldn't see anything, he could still hear all kinds of sounds coming from the battlefield over there.

He thought of Qiu Yue, the god of death, and suddenly lost the desire to continue fighting. His hand loosened and the halberd fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the cavalrymen behind him threw away their weapons, rolled off their horses, and squatted on the ground.
