Chapter 108 Even Our Own People Are Deceived [Bonus Chapter]
Wei Fuzhi was silent for a moment. He felt a little regretful. If Zhang Xiao were here, he would definitely be able to say something very pleasing, or at least know how to respond.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Grand Tutor, shouldn't we thwart their plan?"
Guan Zhiwei felt it was a pity to destroy it, so she asked, "Can this thing be rerouted? So that it won't flood our city, but will flood the garrison outside."
"This is a long-term job, and it's very difficult."
Guan Zhiwei sighed, "Then we'll just have to kill all these people who are digging."
Wei Fuzhi took stock of the number of people who followed him out of the city. "It's a bit small. If we can't kill them all in time, we'll be easily surrounded when we retreat."
"To outflank me, huh?" Guan Zhi smiled. "I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder who will be the one to outflank me."
She decisively led her troops into battle, cutting through enemy lines with unparalleled ease.
The news was quickly reported to the Allied forces.
Seeing that an opportunity had come, Qi Xie immediately urged Hong Feng to step forward, saying, "When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, no one is more valiant than General Hong. You also have many fierce generals under your command. If you can kill Guan Zhiwei, you will surely become famous."
Hong Feng was ruthless, but not stupid. He had witnessed Guan Zhiwei's destructive power firsthand and had no desire to engage in any confrontation with her. He thought to himself, "Guan Zhiwei is brave, but I'm afraid I can't take her down by myself. I need someone to help me."
"I've recently been studying ancient books and have come up with a new formation that will surely capture him." Leader Jin loves arranging troops and formations. He doesn't need to go in person, and he thinks that if he can capture him, he will; if not, he can simply turn around and leave.
So he agreed: "I will set up the formation and assist General Hong."
"I was originally 50% confident in killing Guan Zhiwei, but with your help, I'm now 80% confident."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Jin, the leader, was the only one among them who had never directly confronted Guan Zhiwei, so he still harbored some unrealistic fantasies.
Li Chengxi stayed behind to guard the camp, while the two of them led elite troops to provide support at the ditch.
From afar, they spotted Guan Zhiwei and her group. Hong Feng led his troops forward and engaged Wei Fuzhi in battle. The two fought back and forth, but Hong Feng's superior numbers caused Guan Zhiwei's group to break apart.
Jin immediately deployed his troops, using his prized formation to surround Guan Zhiwei. The thirty-odd people were arranged in a well-organized and orderly formation, making it impossible for even a mosquito to escape.
He laughed wildly, preparing to kill the man in one fell swoop and become famous for all time, when Guan Zhiwei drew her knife.
Three cuts.
Guan Zhiwei broke through the formation with three strikes.
Jin Shidao was heartbroken, and his head was almost chopped off by Guan Zhiwei. He was too close, and Guan Zhiwei, standing on his horse, leaped down from the sky.
Before he could react, the knife struck his head. Luckily, his helmet blocked the blow, and the blade sliced down from the side, causing him to fall off his horse.
The guards swarmed forward, blocking Guan Zhiwei's attacks with their swords, and it took a great deal of effort to finally snatch her back.
Guan Zhiwei ignored the man who had lost half his head and searched for the other generals in the encirclement. These generals would raise their flags so that the soldiers could find them.
Soldiers can follow him, and Guan Zhiwei can find him too.
In the crowd of thousands, Guan Zhiwei and Hong Feng looked at each other and she smiled at him.
Without saying a word, Hong Feng turned and ran, urging his soldiers to retreat quickly.
"Grand Tutor, should we pursue them or not?" Wei Fuzhi had gone completely mad with killing intent.
"Don't chase."
Guan Zhiwei was actually quite tired and couldn't kill anymore, but no one believed her.
"I can probably kill another two hundred people. If they all swarm me, they might be able to take me down, but unfortunately, no one wants to be the two hundred and first."
In the barracks, military doctors came and went, and many wounded soldiers were groaning in pain.
Hong Feng ignored his own minor injuries and rushed to check on Chief Jin.
Jin was rushed back to the camp by her personal guards. They hurried to find a military doctor for treatment, but it seemed that it made no difference whether they were earlier or later. The knife cut very deep, piercing through the helmet and slicing off half of the flesh from her head, exposing her skull.
I almost lost my life. Now, let alone fighting, whether I can even survive is uncertain.
Hong Feng thought to himself, "Great! I've wanted to take his soldier for a long time."
Qi Xie was eyeing Hong Feng, and Hong Feng was eyeing him too. No one wanted to be the last dish on the table; they both wanted to devour each other.
“Brother Jin—” Hong Feng cried bitterly by his bedside, expressing his brotherly solidarity and laying the groundwork for taking over his troops.
So what was Qi Xie doing at this time?
Qi Xie pulled Li Chengxi back and said calmly, "My lord, do not cherish the lives of the soldiers. Give them the highest reward and make them keep Guan Zhiwei no matter what. There will never be another opportunity like this! Hurry!"
Two rounds of attacks would exhaust even a goddess. Guan Zhiwei was just relaxing after defeating a wave of enemies when this attack was launched, completely catching them off guard.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengxi simply announced a reward of a thousand taels of silver for killing her, and then sent his best general with troops to do so.
"Where is Guan Zhiwei—"
"Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold! Whoever cuts off his arm will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"
Guan Zhiwei watched helplessly as the soldiers swarmed forward like flies drawn to blood, charging recklessly, willing to risk their lives for the reward of a thousand taels of silver.
Wei Fuzhi, covered in blood and already wounded, stood in front of Guan Zhiwei and resolutely said, "Grand Tutor, you leave first! I'll cover your retreat!"
He had barely finished speaking when he saw Guan Zhiwei leap up alone on her horse and plunge headfirst into the crowd.
She pierced a person with her spear, then with a flick of her arm, she began to swing it in circles, smashing everything around her until it was a bloody mess.
When praying before the gods, tell more lies; if you tell too many lies, even the gods will believe you.
When she killed the first two hundred people, even the reward of a thousand gold pieces couldn't quell the wavering hearts of the people.
When she had almost killed the second two hundred people, no one was still greedy for the thousand gold coins reward, and the crowd scattered and fled.
The way she looked at him no longer seemed like he was looking at a person, but more like he was looking at a war machine, a living catapult, crushing countless people.
She sighed, "I'm actually out of energy. If another two hundred people come, I really won't be able to kill them all."
Wei Fuzhi thought to himself, "You not only deceive the enemy, you even deceive your own people."
The two men led their troops back to the city.
"How is it outside? Why have you been gone for so long?" Gao Huan asked with concern. "I was about to send Zhang Xiao out to look for you."
"I just went out for a walk, I'm a little tired." Guan Zhiwei yawned, "I'm going to sleep now."
Wei Fuzhi, standing to the side, was shocked and kept shaking his head.
What do you mean by "strolling around"? They were fighting like madmen outside, risking their lives!
