Chapter 284: Capture the King First
When the wind and sand suddenly stopped, Qi Yanzhou and Sun Chu were almost at the stone wall.
When the voice with internal force came, Qi Yanzhou stopped.
"Sun Chu, you go and lead the National Defense Army to resist the sand bandits, I will go and capture the leader first!"
Before he finished his words, he used his Qinggong skills to leave.
Sun Chu wanted to stop him but was a step too slow.
He knew that time was running out, so he did not try to stop Qi Yanzhou and quickly climbed over the wall to escape.
After arriving at the eye of the storm, the National Protection Army had already come out of their tents, ready for battle.
When they heard the arrogant shouting of the sand bandits, they were all filled with fighting spirit.
The plan to deal with the sand bandits had already been formulated. As soon as Sun Chu returned, he led the National Protection Army and entered Yanghe Town.
There are one hundred soldiers of the National Defense Army, and ten of them are left to protect the Qi family.
Ye Chutang came out of the tent, looked at the National Defense Army who were ready for battle, and said, "I'm here, you go to the town to help."
"Mrs. Qi, our mission is to protect you and the Qi family."
"I'm just pregnant, not disabled. I will protect the Qi family. If you go into the town to help, your chances of success will be better."
"But Master Qi..."
"No buts! Unless you want to force me into town and kill the enemy for you."
Ye Chutang was determined and the National Protection Army had no choice but to obey.
Wu Chenggang voluntarily brought the escorting officers to protect the Qi family.
Mr. Qi and Qi Hean knew martial arts and came out of the tent and stood beside Ye Chutang.
"Second sister-in-law, if there is any danger, you run first and don't worry about us."
"Tang'er, your third brother is right. Protect yourself and the baby in your belly."
Ye Chutang didn't want them to worry, so he just said "hmm" perfunctorily.
The sound of swords clashing and shouts of killing could be heard from afar.
It's got everyone outside of town on edge.
The people from the Chen and Ye families were covered in dust, ate a lot of sand, and were almost scared to death.
When they looked at the Qi family members who were dressed relatively cleanly, they felt indignant.
But no matter how angry you are, you have to endure it.
The shouting and screaming were getting closer.
Chen Weiming, the head of the Chen family, was extremely panicked. He lowered his voice and said, "The Sand Bandits are numerous and powerful, and they kill without blinking an eye. They also have the advantage of terrain. Qi Yanzhou's chances of winning are very low. We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
He didn't want to die here without leaving any trace.
The eldest son, Chen Yifan, nodded in agreement, "Dad, let's find a chance to escape."
The officials didn't care about their lives at all.
Even if Qi Yanzhou could defeat the sand bandits, they might not be able to survive until the sandstorm was over.
If Qi Yanzhou lost, they would be killed immediately by the sand bandits.
Since there is no way to escape death, I might as well take a chance with my life and escape by taking advantage of the sandstorm.
You won’t lose if you die, but you will gain if you live!
Seeing that his son thought the same as he did, Chen Weiming nodded with satisfaction.
"When the sandstorm hits again, we'll run!"
This statement did not win everyone's approval.
Mrs. Chen didn't want to take any risks.
"Husband, Fan'er, don't take it for granted. We were almost buried even though we hid by the wall. If we leave the shelter, we don't know where we will be blown to by the strong wind."
"Dad, brother, mom is right. Xun'er is so young, how can you let him escape?"
Xun'er is Chen Yifan's only son.
He said nonchalantly: "I'll just hold you. We only have one chance to escape, we can't miss it!"
"Brother, don't you know how strong the sandstorm was just now? You can't even stand steadily, how can you hold Xun'er?"
Mrs. Chen agreed, "Yes, the wind and sand are so strong that we can't see the direction clearly. What should we do if we are blown away or knocked down?"
After that, she said with certainty: "I won't run."
“Bang!”
Chen Weiming slapped his wife in the face, "Stupid woman, you are so stupid!"
Mrs. Chen said nothing and made up her mind to stay.
Although the current situation is not favorable to Qi Yanzhou.
But he is a war god general, and he often wins battles with a smaller force, so it is not impossible for him to defeat the sand bandits.
In her opinion, the chances of survival were greater if she stayed than if she left.
Chen Weiming wanted to strangle his wife to death, but was afraid of causing too much noise and making his escape hopeless.
"You can leave or not, from now on, you are no longer a wife of the Chen family!"
After that, he asked, "Who wants to go together?"
There are more than twenty people in the Chen family.
There were less than ten people willing to take the risk with Chen Weiming.
If a fugitive is caught, he will be executed on the spot.
It's normal that people don't want to take risks.
Chen Weiming called several people who wanted to escape aside and discussed the details of the escape.
Chen Yifan suddenly said, "Dad, how about we join forces with the Sand Bandits to kill the officials and the Qi family and stay in Yanghe Town?"
The drought is severe now, and even if you escape, you will face hunger and cold.
If I could stay in Yanghe Town and settle down, it would be much better than being a fugitive!
When Chen Weiming heard his eldest son's words, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Fan'er, your idea is good, but how can we unite with the Sand Bandits?"
"Dad, you cover for me. I'll go into town and look for an opportunity."
When Chen Yifan was climbing over the wall, he was discovered by Wu Chenggang.
He wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Ye Chutang.
"A bunch of idiots seeking their own death, ignore them."
She had excellent hearing and heard everything the Chen family said.
The Chen family has no bargaining chips in their hands, yet they want to join forces with the inhumane sand bandits. It is simply a pipe dream!
Wu Chenggang thought that the Chen family had nothing and no ability, so he ignored it.
At this time.
The shouting and screaming in the town became louder and louder, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was sickening.
He asked worriedly, "Can Young Master Sun and the others win?"
Ye Chutang turned his head and glanced at Wu Chenggang.
"One more person means a better chance of victory. Sir Wu, how about going to add some help?"
Although Wu Chenggang's martial arts skills were the best among the escorting officers, they were still far inferior to those of the National Protection Army.
He didn't want to go into the town to die, so he pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
"It's better for me to watch the prisoner outside the town."
In town.
Sun Chu led the National Defense Army to fight hard against the sand bandits and prevent them from leaving the town.
Qi Yanzhou has already exchanged dozens of moves with the leader of the sand bandits.
The opponent's martial arts were not as good as his, but he had an endless supply of hidden weapons and poisons.
So far, the two are evenly matched and neither is at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the eye of the storm was about to pass, Qi Yanzhou became a little anxious.
Fighting in the severe sandstorm weather, he and the National Protection Army would certainly be no match for the battle-hardened sand bandits.
So, he used himself as bait and deliberately revealed his flaws.
He wanted to capture the other person alive at the cost of getting injured.
The leader of the sand bandits saw through Qi Yanzhou's plan at a glance.
"Lord Chen, I am also a veteran of many battles. I have used all your tricks before, hahahaha..."
When the shrill laughter sounded, he quickly stepped back.
I want to wait for the sandstorm to come, then take advantage of the terrain and environment to deal with the exile team.
"Don't fight head-on, stall for time and wait for the sandstorm!"
Although the bad weather is not suitable for combat, it is suitable for one-sided massacre!
Qi Yanzhou was well aware of his disadvantage and immediately chased after him.
