[Ding, Li Chuang's rage level increased]
[Ding, Li Guo's rage value +1231]
[Ding, Liu Zongmin's rage value +2145]
[Ding, from...]
The system notification sounds kept ringing out, almost deafeningly loud.
To Jiang Tian's surprise, the system notification sounded more than once or twice.
Instead, the sound kept ringing out, and I had never heard it before. It seems that Li Chuang and his gang must hate me to death.
…………
Han Xin, who was on the city wall, saw this and knew that it was time to take the initiative.
"Pass down the order: set up an ambush from all sides, launch a swift attack, surround the rebel army, and leave no one alive."
Soon, the sound of war drums rang out.
A long, drawn-out horn sounded.
Under Han Xin's command, cavalry units quickly charged out from all directions.
"kill……"
"Kill Li Chuang, and wipe them all out."
"Kill... wipe them all out."
Some of these cavalrymen had their families poisoned during meals and died on the spot.
Everyone knew that only the rebel army could do such a despicable thing.
The hatred of having one's loved ones killed is irreconcilable.
Nobody wants to do anything less than to eliminate the other.
Squads of cavalry charged toward the distant woods with overwhelming force.
Jiang Tian looked at the team rushing towards them from a distance and pointed into the woods: "Chen Feilong, if you want to make a name for yourself, lead your men into the woods."
These are all achievements.
Chen Feilong quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
"Brothers, charge with me!" Chen Feilong and his men quickly mounted their horses and charged towards the woods.
Jiang Tian nodded in satisfaction as he watched Chen Feilong and the others rush into the woods.
Jiang Tian looked into the distance, overjoyed. Li Chuang's army had suffered heavy losses in the explosion, and the remaining troops were no threat at all.
Although a large number of rebel troops had not yet entered the forest, these troops were all supply trains responsible for escorting provisions, and their combat effectiveness was negligible.
"Come out..." Jiang Tian suddenly noticed something moving in the bushes not far away. He quickly shouted and drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the bushes.
A middle-aged man stood up from the bushes. He was dressed in tattered armor and tattered clothes, looking utterly disheveled.
The man looked disheveled and dirty.
"Who are you……"
The person stepped forward.
“Stand there and don’t move. If you make any sudden moves, I’ll shoot an arrow through your head.”
"What I hate most is people like you who steal and sneak around like dogs. You look respectable, but all you do is hide in the grass."
"You've misunderstood. I am Ling Yunzhi, the General who guards the Great Wall and the General Who Guards the Distant Lands."
“Ling Yunzhi?” Jiang Tian looked at Ling Yunzhi. “The Great Wall, which you defended, has fallen. The Liao soldiers have been burning, killing, and looting all the way.”
Jiang Tian glanced at Ling Yunzhi, but had no interest in looking at him a second time.
There's not much to say about a defeated general.
Besides, Li Chuang and the others just contributed a lot of rage points, so exchanging them for a few generals wouldn't be a problem. The generals he could easily exchange for were much stronger than this Ling Yunzhi.
With a thud, Ling Yunzhi knelt down in front of Jiang Tian.
"Lord Jiang, I have guarded the Great Wall for thirty years, and the Great Wall has always been impregnable. However, for five million taels of silver, my brothers colluded with the Khitan cavalry."
They betrayed me.
That's why we suffered such a crushing defeat.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Tian asked, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Ling Yunzhi kneeling on the ground.
"I only want to be a soldier under Lord Jiang, even if it's just a stable boy." Ling Yunzhi's attitude was very sincere.
"You, a general of Zhenyuan, are going to be my groom?"
Ling Yunzhi nodded: "Lord Jiang, ever since my defeat at the Great Wall, I have been staying near Longcheng."
Having witnessed you defeat Feng Huo Lian Cheng, Xiao Tianyou is utterly powerless in your presence.
You went straight to the Xiongnu a while ago, and although I don't know how well you fared, seeing how radiant you were, your trip to the Xiongnu must have been very fruitful.
"Although I am the Zhenyuan General of the Great Xia Dynasty, guarding the Great Wall for more than 30 years, I have never been able to break through the Great Wall."
Facing the Xiongnu and Liao cavalry, I have no guarantee of victory.
"Just now I saw that Lord Jiang only brought a little over 100 men, yet he still routed the rebel army."
"Lord Jiang is a peerless genius in both civil and military affairs."
"For Lord Jiang to accept me as a groom under his command is a great affirmation of my abilities."
Jiang Tian then carefully examined Ling Yunzhi again.
Ling Yunzhi doesn't seem to be lying.
"Get up first, and join my guard team with Luo Xiaohu," Jiang Tian said, then stopped abruptly.
Luo Xiaohu's body has been transported to Peach Blossom Village for burial, but Jiang Tian still thinks about Luo Xiaohu.
"You will follow Chen Feilong and temporarily become a member of my guard. As for your weapons, armor, and warhorse, I will make arrangements for them after we return to the city."
Ling Yunzhi was overjoyed.
He quickly got up and said, "Thank you, my lord."
"Ling Yunzhi, you suffered a crushing defeat at the Great Wall. What about your family and property?"
"My lord, my family is all in the capital. And if I may not be ashamed to say this, I have served as an official for over 30 years, guarding the Great Wall for many years."
My accumulated wealth is no more than one hundred taels of silver.
After saying that, Ling Yunzhi let out a long sigh.
"Really?" Jiang Tian sneered.
General Zhenyuan was a first-rank military officer in the imperial court.
His annual salary was tens of thousands of taels of silver.
That's enough money for him to eat and live on.
It's impossible to guard the Great Wall for thirty years and end up with only a hundred taels of silver.
"I would not dare to deceive my lord. You can find out by sending someone to my home. My home is located under the Toad Bridge in the west of the city."
In the capital city.
The eastern part of the city is inhabited by wealthy families.
They firmly believed that auspicious purple clouds would come from the east.
In other words, those living in the east of the city were either rich or noble.
Only those who have no power, no money, and no influence would live in the west of the city.
If what General Ling Yunzhi of Zhenyuan said is true, then this guy's character is still commendable.
“I will send the Imperial Guards to investigate,” Jiang Tian said, looking into the distance.
Han Xin's ambush troops have been dispatched.
They surged forward like a series of breached floods.
The morale of Li Chuang's troops has collapsed.
As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a mountain.
Li Chuang and his men had been severely injured in the bombing and were unable to mount any effective resistance.
The soldiers had no confidence in victory; they were only thinking about getting away from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.
Wave after wave of rebels fled into the distance, disregarding everything.
Chen Feilong and his men wreaked havoc on all sides.
The sabers flashed and slashed among the rebel army, like streaks of silver snakes.
Those demoralized rebels now only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
The group pursued the fleeing enemy relentlessly, leaving a trail of blood wherever they went.
