A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

One day later.

More than two thousand unarmed laborers, driven by Wei Ping, fled south in tears.

Far away.

They saw the camp of the Weizhou army.

One of the laborers exclaimed in delight.

"Look! It's the banner of Commander Guo!"

"We're saved!"

"Quickly, go and inform General Guo that Li Rui has seized Wei County!"

"Let our Weizhou army hurry back, drive Li Rui away, and retake Wei County!"

The laborers, in a noisy uproar, rushed headlong into the Weizhou military camp!

The sentry was taken aback by what he saw!

He hurriedly raised his bow and arrow and roared.

"Stop! Stop! If you get any closer, we'll fire arrows!"

however.

The laborers, in their haste and panic, paid no attention to what he was shouting.

They rushed towards the camp gate, trying to go in and find Guo Feng to call for reinforcements.

The sentry was extremely anxious.

The army has issued an order: anyone who approaches the camp without authorization will be shot on the spot!

At this moment, the general in charge of guarding the gate jogged over.

Upon seeing that more than two thousand laborers were about to storm the camp, they were immediately terrified.

"Fire arrows! Stop them! Don't let them storm the camp!"

however.

The chaotic shouts below had already reached everyone's ears.

The sentries were stunned.

"What are they shouting?"

"It seems so, Li Rui is in Wei County."

"Bullshit! Li Rui is right across from us, how could he possibly be in Wei County?"

"But...but that's what they said!"

"That's bullshit!"

Just as the sentries were incredulous and arguing amongst themselves...

The laborers rushed to the camp gate.

Someone shouted in a panic.

"Commander Zhou! This is Ma San, the grain transport officer! Li Rui has captured Wei County! Quickly request Defense Commander Guo to send troops back to reinforce it!!"

The gatekeeper stared wide-eyed at the man in astonishment.

Take a closer look.

It really is Ma San, the grain transport official!

Commander Zhou was bewildered for a moment, then suddenly panicked.

"Ma San! You better explain yourself clearly, how could Li Rui possibly be in Wei County!?"

Ma San wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Really? There are so many of us, would we lie to you?"

We saw Li Rui with our own eyes; the Yuan governor has already surrendered!

Commander Zhou's face changed instantly!

They turned deathly pale instantly!

He shouted urgently.

"What about my wife and children!?"

Ma San waved his hands repeatedly.

"I was only focused on escaping, how was I supposed to know what Li Rui did to your wife and children? I didn't even have time to take care of my own mother!"

Commander Zhou suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded!

I turned my head and took a look.

The other sentries were in the same state, each one panicking and running away in a panic!

They were all from Weizhou, and most of their families lived near Weixian County.

Now they're probably all in Li Rui's hands!

How could I not panic?

Commander Zhou barely managed to steady himself before remembering that he should report to Guo Feng first.

After a while.

Inside the central command tent.

Guo Feng was drinking and chatting with his generals.

"Hehe, yesterday Li Rui lined up to challenge me, and I deliberately let him shout for most of the day before hanging up the truce sign."

Guess what? Li Rui's dark face will look even darker now, right? Hahaha!

Upon hearing this...

The generals burst into laughter!

The registrar smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Since the commander-in-chief is making such a fool of Li Rui, Li Rui is just a child; he's probably looking for a place to cry his eyes out!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The generals burst into laughter again.

"How laughable, Li Rui! Does he really think we're going to have a final showdown with him?"

"In my opinion, this kid's fame in Hebei is mostly due to luck."

"Of course. If it were our Commander Guo, let alone the Khitan emperor's banner, even the emperor himself would..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Guo Feng raised his hand repeatedly.

"Hey, hey, don't speak recklessly. We're now backed by the Khitan; how can we speak ill of the emperor?"

However, that's what they say.

Although Guo Feng said it wasn't right, a wide grin had already spread across his face.

Who is Li Yulong, who is famous throughout Hebei?

Aren't we just being manipulated by ourselves?

Just as he was feeling triumphant.

A commander suddenly burst in through the door.

The man looked panicked and spoke rapidly.

"General, disaster has struck! Li Rui has suddenly appeared in Wei County, and the Yuan governor has been forced to surrender. Wei County... has fallen!"

The words fell.

The atmosphere inside the tent instantly became deathly silent!

quiet……

Such a quiet that makes it hard to breathe.

It lasted for quite a while.

at last.

Clang!

A wine glass crashed heavily to the ground.

The generals were stunned, their breathing suddenly quickening!

Someone suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Commander Zhou by the collar.

His face flushed red, and he almost roared.

"Li Rui is in Wei County!? Is the news true!?"

Commander Zhou was so anxious that he cried.

"This humble general would not dare to lie. The more than two thousand laborers all came from Wei County and have personally witnessed Li Rui's Restoration Army!"

The Yuan governor has already surrendered the city; there's no faking it!

Upon hearing this...

The expressions on the faces of the generals were priceless!

They were just laughing at Li Rui!

They say he has a hollow reputation and was easily manipulated by Guo Feng!

The results of it?

Now, Li Rui has miraculously appeared in the rear!

They even captured their stronghold, Yu County!

Who is that burly, dark-faced man confronting them?

Not Li Rui?

The crowd was too shocked to react.

Everyone understands the consequences of the fall of Wei County.

The morale of the troops... is about to crumble!

This war is absolutely not going to happen!

Even they themselves were filled with fear and worry at this moment.

The families of ordinary soldiers may be scattered in various villages.

But the wives, children, and elderly of these generals were all in Weixian County!

Everyone was filled with fear and turned to look at Guo Feng.

At this moment, Guo Feng...

Still sluggish.

Holding the wine glass, he looked blankly at Commander Zhou.

It's like it's been paused, completely still!

Upon seeing this, the registrar immediately became very anxious.

"General! Please give the order quickly to shut those laborers up!"

The news that Wei County must not be allowed to fall must spread throughout the entire army!

These words were like a heavy hammer blow!

The noise woke Guo Feng up.

He trembled violently and cried out in alarm.

"Yes! Yes! Quickly, drive those laborers out of the camp! We can't let the news spread!"

however.

It's too late.

A commotion came from outside the door.

The general at the door lifted the curtain and looked out; his face instantly turned ashen.

"General, the camp... is in chaos."

The voice just fell.

The sound of drums and shouts came from outside.

"We want to see the commander-in-chief!"

"Has Wei County been lost? Where is the commander?"

"My father and mother are both in Wei County. Have they already been killed by Li Rui?"

"Where is the commander-in-chief? We need to see him!"

I heard these sounds.

Guo Feng closed his eyes, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably!

The generals were in complete disarray, and no one knew what to do.

But everyone understands.

If we still cannot calm the soldiers' spirits...

I'm afraid the next second...

These six thousand Weizhou soldiers had to scatter on the spot!

In fact.

The crowd has already started to disperse.

The Weizhou Army was never a disciplined or elite force.

Upon hearing that Li Rui had stolen their hometown, they were shocked.

The soldiers were no longer in the mood to stay in the barracks.

Immediately, dozens of people broke out of the camp and ran towards Wei County.

With dozens of people, there will be hundreds.

The Weizhou army is collapsing rapidly, like a flood being released!

If the downward trend is not stopped...

They're really going to disband right here and now!

however.

Guo Feng, who was able to stabilize the situation, looked utterly defeated at this moment.

"It's over... it's over..."

The registrar was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

He was about to advise Guo Feng to cheer up and stabilize the morale of the troops.

But Guo Feng seemed to have been stunned by the blow, and kept repeating one sentence to himself.

"It's over... I lost, Li Rui won..."
