Chapter 260: Arson

He said calmly, "I am a humble scholar. In my field, there are many talented people who are better than me. I am the most useless, so I was sent out to deal with you rats."

In terms of eloquence, even if ten Zars were tied together, they would not be a match for Lu Chenyang.

Zar was furious. He used a mace and could hold the weapon with both hands. He immediately attacked Lu Chenyang.

Two maces weighing hundreds of pounds came directly towards Lu Chenyang's face. Lu Chenyang stretched out his sword to block it, easily blocking his attack.

Zar was stunned for a moment. He used all his strength in this attack. Even in the Tatar army, there were not many warriors who could withstand his force.

But Lu Chenyang looked at this weak scholar, and he thought he could resist him so easily?!

Zar's eyes were full of disbelief.

In fact, from here on, Zar has fallen into a disadvantage.

Lu Chenyang didn't give him a chance to come back to his senses. He drew out his sword, and Zar's attack missed. Due to inertia, he fell forward.

Lu Chenyang jumped up from his horse and tapped Zar's head with his foot, which was an extremely humiliating move.

Zar was furious and immediately went to find Lu Chenyang.

But Lu Chenyang was just trying to provoke and tease him, and he was so agile that he didn't give Zar any chance to get close to him.

Lu Chenyang dodged and passed by Zar. "The Tatar general is nothing special. If I had known he was such a wretch, why would I have sent him out? I can just find a small soldier to deal with him."

Zar became even more furious. The Tatar soldiers behind him were filled with righteous indignation when they saw their general being made fun of, and they immediately started fighting.

However, the soldiers of the Lu family army are just as difficult and cunning as Lu Chenyang.

They formed a triangle with seven people in a group, and they could attack the enemy from all directions.

Moreover, their morale was high, and they moved forward courageously, showing no fear of death.

Even though they were outnumbered, the Tatars were unable to gain the upper hand for a while.

The news of the battle here soon spread to the city. Zar's deputy general saw that their troops were at a disadvantage and had to dispatch troops.

Although they had captured Huai'an City, they didn't rest. They burned, killed, and looted the city, and later experienced the invasion of the Lu family army. They had no time to rest. Therefore, only a part of the troops went out to fight this time.

When the order to mobilize troops was issued, the soldiers guarding other places rushed over immediately.

Lu Ning and others who were hiding in the dark found the right opportunity and quietly climbed over the city wall.

It is impossible for ordinary people to climb up the city wall of Huai'an unless they use a stair climbing machine.

However, who could have imagined that Lu Chenyang would one day form an army of people from the martial arts world, each with unique skills.

It's simply cheating.

When Lu Chenyang defeated the King of Nanyang with a smaller force, everyone's attention was focused on his superb command. However, they overlooked the Lu family army's bravery and fighting prowess.

This is an amazing team that never backs down even when facing opponents stronger than themselves.

This was the will awakened by Lu Chenyang. Fighting side by side with Lu Chenyang, fighting together with the man who created one miracle after another, they all felt an indescribable momentum in their hearts.

The fighting spirit is a magical thing. It cannot be seen or touched, but it exists. Only those who are in battle can feel it.

A team of fifty people sneaked into the city silently.

Lu Ning divided the people into two groups, one group consisted of ten people, and they were going to burn the food and grass.

There are a lot of people guarding the food supplies, and ten people is indeed a little too few. However, having fewer people has its advantages, as it allows for more flexible actions.

He selected the ten with the best martial arts skills among the fifty people, and each of them was ruthless and ruthless.

Lu Ning led the team personally and had deployed the tasks before the operation. Their goal was clear, which was to find an opportunity to set fire.

Another team of forty people went to the place where the prisoners were held.

Lu Ning wanted to rescue the prisoners, which inevitably led to a conflict with the imprisoned soldiers. Therefore, more people went to rescue the prisoners. They wanted to kill as many guards as possible and then take the prisoners to create chaos.

The time for internal and external cooperation must be chosen accurately. Before Lu Ning came out, Gao Ming gave him a flare, which required him to send a signal as soon as he rescued the prisoners.

This time their purpose was not to recapture Huai'an City, but to rescue the captured people in the city.

Fifty people dispersed quietly. They had already memorized the terrain map in their minds, but this was their first time entering Huai'an City, so Lu Ning was still very cautious.

There were not many people in the city. The Tatar army was in the barracks, and the civilians in the city were either dead or captured, which facilitated Lu Ning's actions.

Lu Ning found the granary easily, but there were many soldiers guarding the granary. Lu Ning and his companions exchanged a glance, then quietly slipped into the darkness.

The darkness contributed to the spread of fatigue, and the guards were somewhat absent-minded, because they had completely occupied the city, and the cowardly and incompetent Han people had no one capable of threatening them.

Now they are the kings of this city, and they have the right to arrogantly look down on all insignificant opponents.

This made their spirits even more distracted, as their previous victories had numbed their vigilance.

So when they suddenly saw a burst of fire, everyone's spirits immediately tensed up, and then they heard the sound of swords clashing and fighting. Without time to think, most of them rushed to the place where the chaos occurred.

But some people still stayed where they were, guarding the granary gate.

People in the martial arts world are most accustomed to hiding their whereabouts. They use light and shadow to hide their figures, appear silently behind the soldiers, take out daggers, and silently cut the guards' necks.

Lu Ning expressionlessly slashed a guard's neck, hot blood splattering on his hands. But he showed no emotion at all as he dragged the man into the darkness and swiftly opened the granary door.

The craftsmen in the workshop had improved their skills. These daggers had just arrived, and there were only a few dozen of them, specially prepared for the scouts. This time, Lu Chenyang took the lead and equipped all fifty of them.

The new weapon is really useful, it feels so smooth and sharp when touched on the nose.

Lu Ning opened the granary, which was full of grain. He took out a tinder, and the faint light from the tinder made his eyes red.

In order to raise food, Lu Chenyang lived frugally and was reluctant to eat even an egg every day, let alone clothes. The few clothes he had were all patched.

Who could believe it? One of the most powerful men in Dagan was wearing patched clothes. There was even a time when rumors circulated that Lu Chenyang was only wearing these clothes for show.

Lu Chenyang had heard such words before and just laughed it off, not taking it seriously. But Lu Ning knew that Lu Chenyang was completely poor.

He just wanted to buy more food and spend the money on more appropriate things, such as making clothes, which Lu Chenyang thought was something that should not be spent.

If Lu Chenyang could be given so much food, he would be so happy. Lu Ning could imagine Lu Chenyang's face full of smiles.

Lu Ning felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then he threw the tinderbox into the warehouse with an expressionless face.

On a midsummer night, the air was still scorching hot. In the dry granary, a small flame spread in an instant, turning into a raging fire.

Lu Ning walked into the firelight, turned around and walked out of the warehouse.
