Li Feng's angry roar penetrated the shouts of thousands of people and reached Zhao Lin's ears.
"Kill my whole family?"
Zhao Lin sneered and said, "Bring the bow."
Someone immediately handed over a bow and arrow.
Zhao Lin bent his bow and arrow, aimed at Li Feng, and loosened his fingers.
whoosh!
The long arrow pierced through the crowd like lightning and hit Li Feng's chest accurately.
Although Li Feng was wearing armor that blocked the damage from the arrow, the force of the arrow still made him stagger and almost fall.
Li Feng was heartbroken. He didn't expect that Zhao Lin was not only good at writing poetry and essays, but also good at archery.
Li Feng quickly turned around and ran, hiding in the crowd for fear of being shot by Zhao Lin again.
Zhao Lin threw his bow and arrow to the guard beside him and said, "Pass the order. No killing is allowed. Capture them alive. Anyone who dares to threaten this general will be skinned alive."
"The general has ordered that Li Feng must not be shot, but captured alive."
As the news spread, the number of arrows shot at Li Feng decreased a lot, and Li Feng was finally able to catch his breath, but it was still difficult for him to run back alive.
Some officers and soldiers had already lowered ropes from the city wall to block the city gate.
In the distance, outside the city wall, cavalry were lined up waiting to attack.
Once the cavalry charges over, none of the 5,000 elite soldiers will survive.
Cavalry is a massacre of infantry.
What's more, the rebels are just a motley crowd.
The elite of the mob are also a mob.
Li Feng felt despair in his heart.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to the military advisor." Li Feng murmured.
Just then.
"Don't panic, General. I'm here to save you."
Li Feng suddenly turned his head and saw Song Huaian wielding a long sword like a storm, forcing several Qingzhou soldiers who were preparing to close the gate to retreat step by step.
The messy figures behind Song Huaian made Li Feng feel more at ease.
These are his brothers.
"The military advisor has brought people to rescue us. Brothers, follow me and rush out!"
Li Feng led his men to rush out, and Song Huaian led his men to support them. The two sides soon reunited, and there were only seventeen or eighteen people left around Li Feng.
The others were either shot to death by arrows, hacked to death by cavalry, or trapped inside and waiting to die.
In short, there are only a few people around Li Feng.
"General, follow me."
Song Huaian led his men to protect Li Feng. They fought and retreated under the attack of the Qingzhou army. Although their numbers continued to decrease, they finally saved their lives and left Qingzhou City alive.
"Just let him go like that?" Sudi asked.
Zhao Lin said: "He's just a bastard, not worth mentioning. I'm keeping him alive for Song Huaian. Otherwise, if he goes to anyone he wants, he'll die. Who would dare to keep him here in the future?"
Sudi said: "It seems that he is very useful."
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "There are so many rebels now. It would be too troublesome to wipe them out one by one. It would save trouble and gain more credit. Wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
…
"Military Advisor, I regret not listening to you! So many brothers have been killed by me. I have no face to live anymore." Li Feng knelt on the ground and cried.
"With so many brothers, my heart aches so much, I'm dying of pain."
Song Huaian supported Li Feng and said, "General, don't cry. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. As long as you are alive, you will have as many soldiers as you want."
"Yes, I want to live, I want revenge!"
Li Feng shouted, wiped his tears and stood up.
Song Huaian felt contempt in his heart.
If you don't want to die, just say it. Why put on this show and make people laugh at you?
He really thinks he is a famous actor.
"Lai Changde, you colluded with the government and killed tens of thousands of my brothers. I will cut your heart and liver alive to commemorate those brothers."
Li Feng looked at Lai Changde fiercely.
Lai Changde was so frightened that his soul was about to be shattered that he quickly said, "General, calm down. I really didn't lie to you. Zhao Lin was simply too cunning and saw through our plot, so he fell into our trap. Give me another chance, and I will definitely make sure Zhao Lin is killed without a burial place to avenge today's vengeance."
"Huh, do you think I'll still believe you?"
Lai Changde took out a sharp knife and was about to stab him to death.
Lai Changde hurriedly called out, "Mr. Song, Mr. Song, save me. As long as you save me, I am willing to recommend you to my master, and I will definitely help you rise to prominence."
Song Huaian said quietly, "Still trying to sow discord at this time, he is indeed a spy."
Li Feng became even angrier.
Digging up his people right in front of him.
Lai Changde then realized how big a mistake he had made in his panic, and hurriedly said, "General, to tell you the truth, I am the Marquis of Zhenbei's man. If you dare to touch me, the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely not let you go."
"Who is the Marquis of Zhenbei?" Li Feng asked blankly.
Zhao Jingzhou is famous, but not everyone knows him.
Song Huaian said calmly, "He's a soldier, and his son has a grudge against Zhao Lin."
Li Feng was furious: "You dare to borrow my knife to kill someone? Go to hell!"
Li Feng ripped open Lai Changde's shirt, stabbed him in the chest, dug out his heart and liver, and placed them on the table. After a prayer, he said to Song Huaian, "Military Advisor, we have offended Zhao Lin, and he will definitely retaliate against us. But we only have a few thousand men left. What should we do next?"
Li Feng's army of tens of thousands was pursued by the Qingzhou army. Some died, some fled, and some were captured. Only about 3,000 people, both big and small, were left.
Song Huaian said, "Zhao Lin is narrow-minded. We have no place to stand in Qingzhou. How about we first annex Guo Wei and Wu Chenglong's men, and then go to Wuzhou?"
Li Feng nodded heavily. "What the military advisor said makes sense. Only with the military advisor here can I come back alive. Those two bastards are definitely dead. Go and annex their men, and then go to Wuzhou."
Li Feng did not take time to rest and attacked Guo Wei and Wu Chenglong's stronghold at night.
Although neither of them went back, they were easily captured by Li Feng. When they were about to plunder their belongings, they learned that the Qingzhou army was coming, so they hurriedly fled with their men, leaving their belongings to the Qingzhou army for nothing.
"General, this is a great victory."
After counting the harvest, the military chief, Pi Pengxing, reported, "A total of 3,533 heads were beheaded this time. Among them were the bandit leaders Guo Wei and Wu Chenglong. Only the flying general Li Feng escaped."
"Thirty-eight thousand six hundred and twenty-one rebels were captured, of whom 1,452 were wounded."
"We seized 120 jin of gold, 144,544 liang 6 qian 8 fen of silver, 12,018 guan of copper, and a number of jewels and ornaments."
"There are also some bows, arrows, armor, horses, etc."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. After deducting expenses from the harvest, 30% will be given as rewards to all soldiers. The wounded will get double the amount, the disabled will get five times the amount, and the dead will get ten times the amount. Those with families will also be given ten acres of land, and we will select the best newly cultivated land for harvesting."
Pi Pengxing knelt down and said with great emotion: "I, the humble servant, would like to thank the general on behalf of all the soldiers for his great kindness and generosity."
He also served in other armies.
How could I not know the greed of those generals?
Working under them, let alone getting any rewards, it would be a blessing if your military pay wasn't withheld.
If the military pay had not been so severely cut that he could not survive, Pi Pengxing would not have retired early.
