Chapter 428: Surrender
Underpants hanging on the city wall...
Is this a mockery of him for not having the courage to attack the city?
Xiao Jinshan felt like his old face was slapped hard, and he was immediately furious, but he did not explode immediately.
As experienced as he was, he could not help but worry that this was a deliberate provocation.
However, at this time, the person who came to report trembled and said another "bad news".
"Marquis, there is actually one more thing..."
"Half an hour ago, the people in the cavalry camp discovered that reinforcements had arrived in Laicheng. They were a group of foreigners and have now successfully entered the city."
"What?!"
Xiao Jinshan's face darkened instantly.
Finally, he could no longer sit still.
"If this happened, why didn't you report it earlier!"
"You saw reinforcements but didn't intercept them. Instead, you let them get close to Laicheng. Where are the patrols of the cavalry camp?" Xiao Jinshan was furious and smashed the table with his crutch.
In the tent, the air froze for a moment, and everyone hung their heads in fear.
They didn't dare to meet Xiao Jinshan's angry eyes.
But this can't be blamed on others. If there is anyone to blame, it's Xiao Jinshan's overconfidence.
He was so confident that he thought he could trap Mu Yihan to death in the city.
And a few days ago, he learned that there was a ritual to pray for blessings in the city, which made him, a scheming man, conclude that Mu Yihan was desperate.
After thinking that he was sure to win, Xiao Jinshan stopped leading the troops to the front, but withdrew to the military camp in the rear.
As for his men, of course, they followed suit and underestimated the enemy.
As time went by, they even forgot to patrol. It was not until Jia Ju led his men close to Laicheng that they discovered something, but it was too late to intercept them.
Xiao Jinshan knew that something was wrong.
Anger and cruelty were churning in his heart.
He grabbed the ink-colored dragon-head crutch and whipped the two leaders of the cavalry battalion.
For a moment, a series of blood splashed in the tent.
"Marquis, Marquis..."
"I know my mistakes. Please, please give us a chance to redeem ourselves."
In just an incense stick of time, the two generals were beaten into pig heads. With their eyes blinded by the crutch, they crawled to Xiao Jinshan's feet and begged bitterly.
Xiao Jinshan's old face was filled with impatience and anger.
"Come here, cut off the heads of these two people and hang them on the camp flag as a warning to others!"
"Also, organize the troops and set out to force the attack on the city."
"My patience is limited. It's time to put an end to this." Xiao Jinshan shouted in a gloomy tone.
Provoked by this, Xiao Jinshan has decided to launch a large-scale attack and take down Laicheng at once.
Unexpectedly, this happened to be what Xiao Nuobao wanted.
That evening, the sky was full of clouds.
The fiery red glow reflected on the faces of Xiao's army and on their way to the gate of Laicheng.
Xiao Nuobao sat in the tent, squinting his eyes, and was beating the drum for offerings.
Earlier, in order to travel light, she had put beautiful clothes, jewelry, a dressing box, and a personal money box into the offerings so that they could be used whenever she wanted.
Xiao Jinshan's so-called 100,000-man army sounded like a large number of people, but most of them were a motley crowd.
Some were civilians he had captured while attacking the city.
Others were strong men he had recruited with money.
That was why he did not choose to storm at the beginning, but instead hoped to trap Laicheng to death.
Soon, when a horn sounded, Xiao Jinshan's army set out for Laicheng.
However, at this moment, Xiao Nuobao used his mind to throw the offerings out.
The next moment, a golden hairpin fell from the sky with a "bang".
It landed in front of the 100,000-man army!
The soldiers in the back row couldn't see clearly, but they felt like a golden light flashed by, and they all whispered to each other.
"Wait, something fell from the sky just now? Did you see it?" "
Why does it look like gold to me..."
"Don't mention it, it looks like a golden hairpin to me too."
But the front-line soldiers had already seen the hairpin falling to the ground, and they were all shocked at first, and then nearly a hundred people rushed up and scrambled to grab it.
"It's mine, I saw it first."
"It was obviously me who got it first!"
"Give it to you, I have the greatest military merit, this treasure should belong to me!"
The small fight in front suddenly affected the march of the army.
Xiao Jinshan was sitting on the last sedan chair, and when he saw that the team was not moving, he was about to ask.
But at this moment, suddenly, a small shadow fell from the sky.
The next moment, more gold and silver ornaments, jewels and crystals fell from the sky and hit the front of Xiao's army.
Seeing this, the soldiers in front were all furious.
Treasures actually fell from the sky?
They must be dreaming!
Without thinking too much, the greedy instinct made a lot of the front-line soldiers drop their weapons and run to grab them like crazy.
"Mine, all mine!"
"Don't steal my things, I'll fight you!"
The cavalry and heavy troops behind were unable to react at all and continued to move forward as usual.
In just a moment, the chaotic Xiao family army caused a stampede.
Countless soldiers were unable to move forward, and before they could figure out the situation, they were crushed by the soldiers and horses rushing in from the back.
In a short while, soldiers were trampled or crushed to death, and even many horses broke their legs and fell to the ground dying.
The army was in chaos, and nearly 20% of its men had been killed before it set out.
Xiao Jinshan's carriage shook, and he was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with his crutches.
"What happened up ahead... Stop right here!" His voice was so shaky with shock.
