Xiang Wenqi led his men all the way north, but he was still hesitant in his heart, so he did not gallop at full speed.

When they were about to approach Jiaonan Road, Xiang Wenqi suddenly stopped everyone and ordered two hundred people to wait here and not to continue with them.

Doubt still took root in Xiang Wenqiu's heart. He was also a cautious person. He thought carefully, if they really went to Wuding City for a test, how could all one thousand people be unharmed?

Everyone trusted Xiang Wenqiu very much, and immediately selected 200 people, and the remaining 800 people followed Xiang Wenqiu back to report.

Walking all the way to the last small slope before Jiaonan Road, a large barricade appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Xiang Wenqi was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly stopped everyone, while he rode his horse forward alone.

At this time, he saw a man standing up on the slope in the distance. It was Deputy General Chang beside Mo Qiandai.

Xiang Wenqi made a silent gesture to the people behind him, meaning: Get ready!

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The eight hundred people present had already quietly become tense.

"Deputy General Chang, what do you mean?" Xiang Wenqiu shouted loudly.

Deputy General Chang greeted them with a smile and said loudly, "In order to ensure that the disease is isolated, the general has prepared many medicine bags and incense. You can relax here and then return."

Deputy General Chang raised his hand and pointed. Xiang Wenqiu lowered his eyes and saw a pile of medicine bags and incense behind the fence.

He did not dare to let down his guard, and at this time, Deputy General Chang said, "General, you are anxious about the situation in Wuding City. What is going on there?"

Xiang Wenqiu gripped the reins tightly, hesitating and struggling in his heart. Finally, he took a steady look at the fence in front of him, and finally calmed down and answered loudly:

"Yesterday, my subordinates led the troops to attack, and the soldiers defending Wuding City chased them with bows and arrows, but their attacks were weak and powerless."

"I provoked them several times in front of the city gate, insulting them with foul language, but the gate of Wuding was always tightly closed. I thought that there must be heavy casualties in Wuding City, and it would be difficult to continue."

When Deputy General Chang heard this, his eyes and eyebrows lit up immediately!

Xiang Wenqiu tensed up and asked nervously, "Deputy General Chang, when can we return to the city after burning incense?"

"Return to the city?"

Deputy General Chang sneered and suddenly changed his expression.

Xiang Wenqiu's face changed when he saw this, and when he was about to shout, a large group of archers stood up behind Deputy General Chang!

Xiang Wenqiu looked carefully and saw that the person standing next to Deputy General Chang was none other than Lu Xiu, who was also the captain of a thousand men in the Southern Camp!

At this point, he knew that things were not going well, and shouted: "Draw your sword, retreat!!!"

The rest of the people did not go deep enough and quickly turned their horses around. Unexpectedly, the next moment, nearly a thousand archers suddenly appeared on the three slopes!

"Kill!" Deputy General Chang ordered fiercely.

Xiang Wenqiu saw the arrows raining down on him, and his eyes instantly turned red with anger!

"Retreat quickly!"

Puff, puff, puff——

The arrow entered the body, making a dull sound and screams of pain were heard everywhere.

Obviously everyone was already busy with their own affairs, but at this critical moment, there were still people who tried their best to rush forward and protect Xiang Wenqiu.

"Brother Xiang, let's go!"

"Protect the captain!"

Xiang Wenqiu watched his brothers fall one by one, and he regretted so much that he almost vomited blood!

Even with Qiao Diyi's advice, they were enemies. How could he believe that the country and generals for whom he had sacrificed his life and shed his blood would one day shoot their bloodthirsty arrows at them!

But at this moment, seeing his brothers falling off their horses one after another, Xiang Wenqiu felt dizzy and his faith collapsed!

"They have mothers and wives at home waiting for them to come back day and night—"

Now thinking of Qiao Diyi's words again, Xiang Wenqiu felt even more heartbroken!

"Chang Kewu!!!"

Xiang Wenqi ran out while waving his knife and screaming miserably.

Deputy General Chang stood on the slope and saw those people falling one after another with an indifferent expression, even with a hint of sarcasm.

Xiang Wenqiu is a talented person, but it's a pity that he blocks the way for others. The Lu family in Kyoto could have provided a lot of financial support to the general.

Deputy General Chang thought about this, glanced at Lu Xiu beside him, saw that his emotions were clearly visible on his face, and his brows were full of ecstasy, and he shook his head secretly.

After all, he was raised in a honey pot, and is far inferior to Xiang Wenqiu who has worked his way up step by step.

But this was not something he could control. After all, as a deputy general, he was just following orders.

Xiang Wenqi was mentally prepared in advance, and at this moment, everyone ran wildly under the rain of arrows, and in the end, nearly 500 people escaped.

This was because the soldiers on the slope were concerned about the epidemic and did not dare to pursue the enemy, otherwise they would have suffered even greater casualties.

Xiang Wenqi had already ridden his horse out of the range of the arrows. He looked back with red eyes and saw Deputy General Chang ordering his men to throw down oil-soaked torches.

A cluster of flames suddenly ignited, instantly burning to death the soldier who was still struggling on the spot.

When Xiang Wenqi saw this, he suddenly opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Xiang!"

Everyone around him was injured to varying degrees, and their faces were filled with sorrow and their hearts were filled with sadness.

Qiao Diyi really hit the nail on the head...

In General Mo's eyes, these soldiers are worse than grass!

They left their homeland and loved ones and came here with the purpose of defending their country, but the country and the general trampled on their loyalty and enthusiasm in this way!

If Qiao Diyi hadn't reminded them in advance, their thousand brothers would have stepped into the trap without any preparation, and now only one in ten would have survived!

Xiang Wenqi straightened his upper body by supporting himself on the horse's back. When he heard screams and cries of pain coming from the fire, his heart broke.

He opened his mouth and shouted with all his might at his former comrade, now the executioner, on the slope:

"A country that regards human life as insignificant and causes its compatriots to kill each other will surely perish! Will surely perish!!!"

When Deputy General Chang heard this, he sneered.

Seeing Xiang Wenqiu leading the others to run south, Lu Xiu couldn't help but said anxiously: "Deputy General Chang, they escaped! Should we chase them?"

Deputy General Chang was full of impatience towards Lu Xiu, but considering the power behind him, he suppressed his contempt and said in a deep voice:

"Chase? What if they get infected with the disease and bring it back to Jiaocheng? Wouldn't we become sinners for eternity?"

"The south is the territory of the Yong Dynasty. Do you think Xiang Wenqiu and the others are still alive?"

As he spoke, Deputy General Chang lowered his eyes to look at the fire below the slope, waved his hand and ordered: "Watch it, don't let the fire spread, archers retreat!"

Deputy General Chang turned and left, and everyone left the scene, leaving only the Northern Army soldiers who died tragically at the foot of the slope, with no remains left.

Xiang Wenqi forced himself to run all the way until he saw from afar the two hundred people who were left behind. His heart suddenly broke and he fell off his horse.

"Brother Xiang!"

Everyone exclaimed and gathered around.

Just then, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind, and everyone looked back hurriedly like a frightened bird.

The leader had a stern look on his face and was still young. It was Qiao Diyi, whom he had only parted with half a day ago!

Everyone was shocked. This was the territory of the Northern Kingdom. How could Qiao Diyi dare to take the risk to come here!

Qiao Diyi pulled the reins and took a quick glance, and he knew that his father had predicted Mo Qiandai's cruelty.

As a fellow soldier, Qiao Diyi was well aware of the blow suffered by the Northern Army. He sighed and said loudly:

"You have no way out. Follow me back to Yong State. As the son of the commander-in-chief, I will definitely protect your lives. Once this matter is over, I will let you go home!"

The Northern Army had different expressions when they heard this and were afraid to make a decision.

At this time, Xiang Wenqiu, who was in a coma, woke up and raised his hand and said in a miserable voice:

"Okay, I agree—"
