It was already November.
It’s less than two months until the Chinese New Year.
It's freezing cold.
In this desolate mountain and wilderness.
I was freezing and hungry, and I couldn't make a fire, so I had to eat cold and hard food.
Many officers and soldiers were full of complaints and wanted to go back quickly.
Zhao Chenhan has always lived a life of luxury. He always rides in a carriage when he goes out, with a hot basin inside. He sweats in the winter heat. When has he ever suffered such hardship?
But the thought of being fooled and losing the military merits he had gained made him feel uneasy.
Zhao Chenhan gritted his teeth and cut it off, secretly deciding that even if he died here, he would find the person.
"Prince, this won't work."
Master Liao Yongzhong was also cold, hungry and tired, and couldn't help but speak.
Zhao Chenhan's face was gloomy: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Liao Yongzhong hesitated and said, "There is a way, but it's a bit too vicious."
Zhao Chenhan shouted, "Don't worry about it, just tell me what you're going to do."
Liao Yongzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Set fire to the mountain."
Zhao Chenhan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Good idea, you should have told me earlier, the brothers wouldn't have to suffer this. Let's go back and tell my brother-in-law to burn those rebels to death."
Liao Yongzhong quickly stopped him and said, "General Ma must know this method, but it's too cruel. So many people rely on the mountain for their livelihood. If it burns, they will all starve to death."
Zhao Chenhan said nonchalantly, "No matter what they do, these people are colluding with the rebels and they deserve to die."
Liao Yongzhong felt a chill in his heart.
Faced with the lives of hundreds or even thousands of people, Zhao Chenhan didn't care at all, which was enough to show how cruel he was.
"Perhaps this is what the saying 'a kind heart cannot command an army' means." Liao Yongzhong said in his heart.
Zhao Chenhan was about to take people back.
Just then.
whoosh!
A sharp arrow hit the face of the guard next to Zhao Chenhan, and the guard fell backwards.
"Enemy attack!"
Another guard drew out his long sword and just as he shouted, he heard the sound of a sharp arrow cutting through the air, which was temporarily blocked out.
The sharp arrows were as dense as rain.
Zhao Chenhan's men were shot down in one fell swoop.
"Protect the prince!"
Liao Yongzhong pulled Zhao Chenhan and turned to run.
The other guards stopped behind the two men to buy them some time.
But Zhao Chenhan and Liao Yongzhong discovered in despair that many people also appeared behind them.
They are surrounded!
Zhao Chenhan sadly faced the reality.
"Protect the prince and rush out." Liao Yongzhong shouted.
The remaining dozens of guards and soldiers protected Zhao Chenhan inside and rushed forward under the rain of arrows.
At the same time, more than a dozen secret guards suddenly rushed out from the darkness and started killing the rebels indiscriminately.
These secret guards were all experts carefully selected from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. They were first-rate killers and quickly broke through the encirclement formed by the rebels.
They were about to escape.
At this time, another rain of arrows fell, killing several of the secret guards.
The rebels captured Wu County and seized a lot of weapons.
For example, they had nearly two hundred bows and arrows.
The main purpose of those archers was not to shoot the officers and soldiers, but to lure out those who were hiding in the dark.
"The military advisor has a good plan indeed. There really is someone hiding in the dark." Lao Debiao exclaimed repeatedly.
Song Huaian said disdainfully: "These young masters are most afraid of death. They always bring guards with them when they go out. I just didn't expect there would be so many."
"Haha, no matter how many, it's a dead end."
Seeing that he had lured the people out, Lao Debiao no longer concealed himself. All the archers attacked together and fired a volley of arrows, killing and wounding countless secret guards and soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, only four people, including Liao Yongzhong, were left by Zhao Chenhan's side.
It was because they were close to Zhao Chenhan that they survived.
Zhao Chenhan was furious.
"Die! I want them all to die!"
Looking at the heavy casualties among his men, Zhao Chenhan roared.
"Prince, don't be impulsive and don't provoke them."
Liao Yongzhong hurriedly advised.
whoosh!
An arrow grazed Zhao Chenhan's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his face.
The pain made Zhao Chenhan calm down immediately.
"Military advisor, you have great archery skills!"
Lao Debiao and other rebels praised loudly.
He can shoot at whatever he wants from a distance of fifty steps. He is simply a sharpshooter.
Song Huaian smiled faintly and said, "The King can go now."
Lao Debiao brought his men to Zhao Chenhan.
"I am the heir of the Zhenbei Marquisate, how dare you kill me?"
Zhao Chenhan shouted loudly, "If you kill me, my father, Zhao Jingzhou, the Marquis of Zhenbei, will bring a large army to flatten Kulong Mountain and kill even your family members."
Lao Debiao laughed heartily and said, "Prince Zhao, we have long heard of your great name. We naturally wouldn't dare to harm you, but we would like you to stay with us for a few days."
"You want to capture me?"
Zhao Chenhan said angrily: "How dare you humiliate me like this?"
He drew his sword and said, "Do you believe that I can have my father bring a large army to crush you?"
Liao Yongzhong sighed, bowed to Lao Debiao, and said, "I guess this must be Lao Debiao, the King of Heaven? I wonder what conditions he will demand to let us go."
Lao Debiao said, "Don't worry, come stay with us for a few days first."
"No! I'm the prince of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion. I would rather die than accept this humiliation." Zhao Chenhan said angrily.
Liao Yongzhong looked relieved. This was the general's son.
Liao Yongzhong advised: "Sir, as long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. For now, endure the humiliation and take revenge later."
Zhao Chenhan was about to object, but Song Huaian said coldly, "If you don't surrender, you'll be killed. It doesn't matter whether Zhao Jingzhou comes or not."
