Black Rat watched the approaching flames with an excited expression.
The county magistrate and the general rushed over and saw the corpses of the guards lying all over the ground. Then they looked at the granary engulfed in flames and were immediately enraged: "Damn Zhou Cheng!"
"He actually took advantage of our unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack on the granary!"
"I swear I will not be a human being if I do not kill this man."
"Search immediately! Zhou Cheng and his men can't have escaped far—"
With nowhere to vent his pent-up anger, he narrowed his fierce eyes and ordered eight thousand elite soldiers to search along the two official roads.
He then led several hundred elite soldiers into the granary to inspect the extent of the grain destruction.
However,
Before they could even begin to learn how to do it.
Not far behind.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted.
A loud boom!
The entire earth was shaking!
"Aaaaaah!! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
"Boom!"
"My legs, ahhh... I can't see, I can't hear, I can't see... Fire, there's fuel here!!"
Soldiers who were close to the landmines had their hands and feet blown off, while those further away suffered ear and eye injuries, clutching their bleeding ears and screaming in terror.
They fled in terror, backing away, only to be burned by the sudden burst of flames.
Then,
My foot stepped into the landmine's detection zone.
With a deafening roar, countless more were killed or wounded.
Chaos!
Complete chaos!
Screams echoed throughout the entire city.
As they stared wide-eyed at the magistrate, a tremendous storm raged within them. They had witnessed their soldiers being blown up and burned alive, a scene a hundred times more terrifying and bizarre than described in the secret letter.
What's most terrifying is that they don't even know where the problem lies!
All I know is that these soldiers retreated, and as they retreated, they suddenly died with a loud bang.
"General!"
"It's underground. There are deadly weapons buried underground. Touching them will surely kill you."
"Where did these strange things come from? What are they? General, what should we do? I... I don't want to die... This is terrifying, without any warning..."
"Don't move! Everyone stay where you are!"
After the initial shock,
The generals calmed down and ordered all the soldiers not to act rashly.
The magistrate and the general were terrified, only now understanding why His Majesty had dispatched eight thousand elite troops...
Eight thousand! They used eight thousand to ambush more than twenty people.
Having such deadly weapons is all one needs, provided there are enough of them.
Forget eight thousand, even eighty thousand would be blown to bits here! How are they supposed to retaliate?! How are they supposed to fight back?!
"Ha ha ha ha--"
What was that sound?
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
He suddenly raised his head.
More than twenty figures emerged from the high wall in the distance.
When the Zhou family guards saw the eight thousand elite soldiers standing frozen in fear, they let out a deafening laugh: "The eight thousand elite soldiers of Lituo County are nothing but a joke in front of my young master!"
"You cowards, we're standing right here. Do you dare to come and arrest us?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
From a distance, Zhou Cheng stood in the most conspicuous position. Although he couldn't see the other party's expression and demeanor clearly, he could imagine that Zhou Cheng's expression must be extremely provocative and arrogant.
He was so angry!
He was so angry!
They watched as Zhou Cheng and the others calmly turned and left.
The elite soldiers, trapped near the granary by landmines, gritted their teeth in anger, their eyes bloodshot.
Unable to bear this humiliation any longer, he suddenly drew his longsword from his waist and shouted, "To hell with this cowardice! I refuse to believe there are so many weapons! No one is allowed to retreat! Kill them all!"
"Kill them!"
