"Release those bastards, Xiao Tianzuo, from the prison, prepare a car, and tie a flagpole to the car."
"Hang Xiao Tianzuo on the flagpole. I want those Liao cavalry to see what a miserable state their Grand Marshal looks like."
"Yes... I will arrange it immediately."
...
Xiao Tianzuo, inside the prison, had been tortured beyond recognition.
This guy had all ten fingers chopped off; he was covered in wounds and on the verge of death.
"Xiang Yu and Dian Wei, how many soldiers have you recruited these past few days?"
"My lord, the combined troops we two have recruited number over 40,000, plus Li Changkong's 10,000 surrendered soldiers."
We have over 50,000 troops.
"How many of these 50,000-plus men are cavalry?"
"There are fewer than 2,000."
"Have all the soldiers get ready to go to the county government office to collect their weapons and equipment."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he went straight to the county government office.
At this moment, the system's rage value has exceeded one million.
Exchanging 50,000 worth of equipment won't cost you much rage.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu and Dian Wei were extremely excited.
Soon, they led their men and followed Jiang Tian straight to the county government office.
While on the road, Jiang Tian opened the system store.
He exchanged for equipment for 2,000 cavalry, 5,000 archers, and 50,000 infantry.
All 50,000 soldiers received their own equipment.
Shining armor, a super composite bow with a range of up to 500 paces, spears, greatswords, shields, warhorses...
All kinds of armor and weapons are available.
The group donned their armor, and their spirits immediately lifted.
The soldiers who had just received their armor and weapons were extremely excited.
“We are just like our brothers. We can also go into battle and kill the enemy. For each enemy soldier killed, we will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, a house, a woman, and ten acres of fertile land.”
"If I ever get the chance to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, I'll kill 100 of them. Once I've gathered 100 men, how can my little ones at home possibly live a good life?"
"Isn't that right? We've waited so long, and finally we've got this opportunity. I want to let all the neighbors know that I'm going to take back what I don't have."
"Ever since my neighbors found out I joined the army, they have all been overjoyed."
"In this battle, I want my warhorse to be covered with enemy heads."
The new recruits, who had just received their armor, were all incredibly excited and couldn't wait to get started.
"Let's go..." Jiang Tian waved his hand, and Han Xin quickly waved the command flag.
The army set off from Flying Fox City in a grand procession.
In this battle, in addition to 4,000 cavalry, there were 5,000 archers and 50,000 infantry.
Although the Liao Kingdom had 100,000 iron cavalry, it was almost impossible for them to gain the slightest advantage over Han Xin, Xiang Yu, and Dian Wei.
Xiao Tianyou, who was tied to the flagpole, slowly opened his eyes: "Where are you bastards taking me? You bastards, let me go right now!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tianzuo's tirade, Jiang Tian immediately drew his bow, aimed an arrow at Xiao Tianzuo's ear, and fired.
With a whoosh, an arrow flew past and struck Xiao Tianzuo's left ear, turning him into a one-eared man.
"Kid, if you say another word, I'll give the order and shoot you into a pincushion." As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, the other party didn't dare to utter a sound.
On the road from Feihu City to the Great Wall.
Ling Yunzhi and his group ran at full speed.
“General, the Liao cavalry have not caught up,” Ling Yunzhi’s personal guard turned around and said. “These bastards have been setting fire to villages all the way, and the poor people have suffered.”
They are currently preoccupied with their own problems.
They had no concern whatsoever for the people who were being ravaged by the Liao cavalry.
"Internal strife and fratricide are the greatest tragedies." Ling Yunzhi turned around and looked at the billowing smoke rising into the sky behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"These scoundrels, for their own short-term gain, let the wolf into their house, and now they've suffered the consequences."
Their warhorses were trembling all over as they ran.
Even so, these people dared not stop.
"General, look! There's an army ahead!" Suddenly, they spotted Jiang Tian's marching troops.
"Quick, turn into the woods ahead and hide." Ling Yunzhi quickly and gently pulled the horse's reins to the right.
His warhorse swiftly charged towards the woods on the right.
In a short while, they reached the woods on the right.
After entering the woods, Ling Yunzhi and his men quickly dismounted and continued walking.
After walking about fifty or sixty steps, these people finally lay down on the ground.
At this very moment, Jiang Tian's main force was arriving in a grand procession.
"General, whose army is this?" The people behind Ling Yunzhi had never seen such an elite army before.
The thick, sturdy yet lightweight armor, the gleaming horse-slaying sword, the heavy composite bow, the spear, the greatsword...
All of this greatly shocked Ling Yunzhi and his personal guards.
At the very front of the procession were more than a dozen large flags bearing the character "Jiang".
Behind the large banner bearing the surname Jiang were ten banners bearing the character "Han".
Behind the general's flag were the banners of Xiang Yu and Dian Wei.
Ling Yunzhi shook his head after seeing the flags; he had no idea where this group came from.
Suddenly, he remembered the Khitan warrior he had personally killed.
"Could this be Jiang Tian's army? Jiang Tian's army only has a little over 50,000 men, but their military discipline is impeccable, and they seem to be quite powerful in combat," Ling Yunzhi muttered to himself.
"Where did that scoundrel Jiang Tian come from, General? The direction they're heading is towards the Great Wall."
"General, Jiang Tian, that scoundrel, is in league with the Khitans. They're planning to take over the Great Wall from within and without."
"But now the Great Wall has been captured by the Khitans. Jiang Tian, this is just doing all the work for someone else."
"I reckon after those Khitans deal with the garrison, they'll deal with bastards like Jiang Tian next."
The crowd whispered among themselves.
At that very moment.
Ling Yunzhi noticed a carriage in the middle of the procession, with a long flagpole tied to it.
A person was hanging on the flagpole, and the person was wearing the clothes of the Liao Dynasty.
"General, look at the person tied to that flagpole. Doesn't he look familiar?" said the guard beside him. Ling Yunzhi took a closer look.
The person tied to the flagpole was none other than Xiao Tianzuo.
"This is really strange. Isn't Jiang Tian in league with the Liao people? How could he have kidnapped Xiao Tianzuo, one of the two great generals of the Liao?"
Ling Yunzhi thought for a moment and immediately understood.
What the Khitan warrior said was half true and half false.
Jiang Tian was dealing with the Liao people.
"Let's follow and watch from a distance what this guy named Jiang Tian is planning to do."
