After leaving Black Tiger Stronghold, Zhu Fu led his men down the mountain. He had been very flustered when he learned that the Prince of Zhenbei was going to wipe out the bandits, but now that he knew the Prince's true strength, he was no longer afraid and was filled with excitement.
On the road, Zhu Fu, riding his horse, licked his lips, a cruel smile on his face. He turned to the third leader, Li Qiang, and said:
"Let's not delay any longer. Let's catch them off guard as soon as they arrive in Shifeng City! There are only some elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people in Shifeng City. We've been there a few times already, so there's nothing to worry about."
"After returning to the stronghold, gather all the brothers and follow me to attack Shifeng City!"
"Gold and silver, fine wine and women! Tonight! The day my Wolf Head Stronghold rises to power! Hahaha!"
Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "Boss, the Prince of Zhenbei only has eight hundred men. Does he really need all the brothers in the stronghold to go?"
Zhu Fu frowned, turned his head and scolded, "How could you be so stupid! Eight hundred personal guards! Are they ordinary people? They must be highly skilled in martial arts!"
"By using all the men in the village to fight against his eight hundred men, we can minimize our casualties. All you do every day is indulge in pleasure with women. You should learn some military strategy!"
Li Qiang blushed and nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Fu proudly raised his head and laughed loudly:
"Follow me, and you'll learn something! Tonight I'll show you how I infiltrate Stone Peak City!"
"drive!"
........
It was autumn, the sun had set behind the mountains, and it was getting cool in the mornings and evenings.
Under the moonlight, the people of Shifeng City finished their day's work and were preparing to rest when they heard orderly footsteps outside. They all went to the windows to watch what was happening outside.
The next instant, their eyes widened in shock, and they shuddered!
Under the bright moonlight, squads of fully armed soldiers marched down the street. Their black armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and even from outside, one could feel their menacing aura.
"Where...where did these soldiers come from? The Prince of Zhenbei entered Shifeng City today, and I see very few of them!"
"Could it be a passage for ghost soldiers?" The people were terrified and speculated wildly.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, the troops sent by Dian Wei had already arrived to take over.
The centurion, his face grim, reached the top of the city wall. The soldiers who had been guarding the city were startled by this army of unknown origin and hurriedly said:
"Who are you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the centurion said in a deep voice, "We are the troops of the Prince of Zhenbei. From now on, we will be in charge of guarding this place. You may all go back and rest."
Upon hearing this, the veterans guarding the city felt a jolt of fear and their faces showed panic.
They had personally witnessed Commander Zhao Yuan escorting the Prince of Zhenbei into Shifeng City. They clearly saw that the Prince of Zhenbei only had a few hundred soldiers. Where did these people come from?
Moreover, judging from their demeanor, these people are not new recruits, but rather veterans who have been through many battles.
At this moment, the centurion raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "What? Still have objections?"
The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly replied, "No, no, we'll go and rest now!"
Not daring to ask any further questions, the group hurriedly descended from the city wall.
Soon, the centurion arranged for a team of men to guard the city wall, taking turns on guard duty.
Thus, as night fell, soldiers hidden in the mountains reported that they had heard a large number of hoofbeats about 5 kilometers away, seemingly heading towards Shifeng City.
The centurion dared not delay and hurriedly sent men to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence and military camp.
In the military camp, Dian Wei heard the news and a smile gradually spread across his face.
"Investigate again and report back, find out how many people have come."
"Coming to Shifeng City in the dead of night, they're most likely bandits. If they are bandits..."
"Then let's kill them all, hahahahaha!"
On the other side, Qin Ze, upon receiving the news, immediately dressed and went to the military camp.
Dian Wei and several centurions were already waiting there. Upon seeing Qin Ze arrive, Dian Wei immediately said, "My lord, we have just received news that there are about three to five thousand of these people. Judging from their clothing, they are bandits."
Qin Ze nodded, looking at the map under the candlelight, and said:
“Outside Shifeng City is a vast area. Three miles ahead are mountains. They have to cross the road at the foot of the mountains to reach Shifeng City.”
"Deploy your troops as I have instructed."
As he spoke, Qin Ze began to arrange his troops...
........
The full moon hung high in the sky, and a strong wind blew the yellow sand flying everywhere.
Led by their leader Zhu Fu, the people of Wolf Head Village galloped along the road on more than 1,000 horses, raising clouds of dust.
Behind them followed a force of over 4,000 infantrymen.
Zhu Fu knew that if this job went well, he would make a fortune. With the money and the fame he gained, he could attract more refugees to the village.
If all goes well, Wolf Head Village might become the leader of all the mountain strongholds in Jubeichuan after this battle!
"Hmph, those people are cowards and afraid of trouble. Don't they know that the greater the risk, the greater the reward!"
"Wait until I storm the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, then we'll see if you regret it! Hahaha."
Zhu Fu, his face beaming with excitement, could barely contain his desire. He licked his lips and proclaimed loudly:
"Brothers, if we pull this off, all the riches and glory will be ours! Haha."
"Yes, boss!"
Triumphant laughter rang out one after another.
Knowing that Qin Ze only had eight hundred men, Zhu Fu was fearless and led five hundred cavalrymen ahead, quickly putting some distance between them and his men running behind.
However, what he didn't know was that archers that Qin Ze had already arranged were hidden on the mountains on both sides.
Their faces were ashen as they hid behind the trees, silently watching Zhu Fu ride his horse out of the mountains and head towards Shifeng City.
