.......
When the King of Wu heard that the food and grass they had brought had been robbed and that the bridge across the Cang River had been destroyed, he could not help but despair. If he could not win the battle, he could still retreat. But if the food and grass were robbed, the army would only be able to hold out for three days to replenish supplies, and the only way to return would be to take a detour through the valleys, where they would starve to death on the way. The only way to break the impasse was to break through the Jiyi Pass within three days and then force the food.
The soldiers of Wu army were forced into a desperate situation and naturally exerted their utmost strength. The two armies fought fiercely and in just half a day, there were heavy casualties and corpses everywhere.
After Tu Yufan seized the food and grass, he cut off King Wu's retreat and left. In order to prevent King Wu's army from stealing his own food, he let Zhang Ertou lead the army and leave.
The King of Wu and the King of Gong were dumbfounded. They did not expect that this man was so cowardly and untrustworthy that he would directly take his army and sneak back to his own territory.
But they had fought to such a state that they had no choice but to fight on, so King Gong transferred a large number of troops stationed at Yulian Pass to Jiyi Pass and fought against King Wu with all his strength.
As a result, when more than half of the soldiers stationed at Yulian Pass were gone, many troops ambushed nearby easily occupied Yulian Pass with their newly invented small fire lances.
This was a backup plan secretly planned by Tu Yufan. In order to reduce casualties, Prince Gong had no choice but to dispatch more soldiers for support.
Prince Gong was so angry that he smashed the table.
"Didn't the spies say that Mo Fan's food and troops had been moved away?"
The staff member replied tremblingly: "Maybe they are going to use King Wu's? King Wu's logistical supplies disappeared overnight, and I'm afraid they have already moved to Mo Fan's rear."
King Gong was speechless. Yes, King Wu’s food and grass disappeared, including some medical supplies from the logistics department. If Mo Fan took them away, he could naturally use them for his own army.
"This Mo Fan is really weird. This Fire Element is unstoppable. It is light and can be carried around. Even cavalry can't withstand the Fire Element's attack. Fortunately, there are not many soldiers who can take the Fire Element. And there are food and grass. How did he transport them under the eyes of King Wu?"
King Gong could only sigh that this boy was so cunning. He was too arrogant before and thought that this man was not a threat. If he had known this, he should have killed him earlier. Why did he end up in this situation?
When the King of Wu and the King of Gong finally stopped the war, the King of Wu was ready to go back to rest, while the King of Gong was preparing to retake Yulian Pass.
This time, Tu Yufan did not want to lose this great opportunity again. One side set out from Yulian Pass towards King Gong, while the other side took a detour to Jiyi Pass where King Wu was. With cannons and fire hydrants, they successively captured the exhausted armies of both sides and captured King Wu. King Gong took advantage of the chaos to flee in a hurry from another gate of Shuangjie City.
As the situation on the battlefield changed, Tu Yufan unexpectedly became the winner.
…
The gate of Shuangjie City
Zhang Ertou fired one shot after another at an ordinary horse-drawn carriage that had just left the city gate. A middle-aged man in gray linen rolled out of the carriage.
"Hey, it's really that guy King Gong. Brother Qiao, you really are a prophet." Zhang Ertou took a look at the middle-aged man who rolled out and punched him in the stomach without any mercy. The middle-aged man curled up in pain.
Not far away, Qiao Shaochu, wearing a blue-gray robe and with a thin figure, walked slowly towards them, coughing uncontrollably all the way.
He looked down at the man in middle-aged clothes with an unclear expression.
"King Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time. This is the first time I see you in such a mess. This is really retribution."
The middle-aged man, also known as Prince Gong, raised his head with fear in his eyes: "It's you, Qiao Shaochu. I shouldn't have let you go in the first place."
Qiao Shaochu sneered, "Let me go? It was because my Qiao family's warriors sacrificed their lives to let me escape. If you hadn't chased me so closely, I could have lived a few more days."
He stepped on King Gong's wrist and crushed it hard. The wet soil mixed with blood gave off a bad smell.
Prince Gong had a painful and suppressed expression on his face, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he opened his mouth and howled hoarsely.
Seeing the extremely painful expression on my enemy's face, a sense of relief surged in my heart, but that was all there was to it.
"Boring, Brother Zhang, you can handle it and report it to the master."
Zhang Ertou grinned, pulled out his long sword and finished off King Gong.
The once-powerful King Gong ended up with his head and body separated.
Qiao Shaochu had an indifferent expression. The death of King Gong could only bring him a moment's pleasure. His people had all become victims of power. Even if more people died, it would only make him realize that he had no relatives left in this world.
