In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.
Chapter 142 Old Fox
Unexpectedly, not long after the deputy general left, the city gate over there creaked open, and a team of Red Soul Army soldiers rushed out. Du Hong recognized the leader, who was the guerrilla general Qi Lei who had stood up many times.
As soon as he came out, he rushed over here and said, "General, hurry up, get the army on the front. The resistance of the rebels in the city is fierce. We can't hold on any longer."
Du Hong squinted his eyes and looked at him, his gaze full of scrutiny.
"How many people are there on the other side and who is leading them?" Du Hong asked.
Qi Lei did not hide it: "About 40,000 to 50,000 people. It was too dark so I couldn't see clearly, but it was definitely no less than 40,000 people. The leader was a man named Xiao, whom I have never seen."
Originally, if there were only these few people, the Red Soul Army would not be afraid. However, since the last defeat of Le Zheng Feiyuan, the Red Soul Army suffered heavy losses and only had less than 30,000 people left. Otherwise, the court would not have allowed Liu Wei to bring his troops here.
Du Hong was naturally aware of this matter: "I didn't expect that Luo Xi, who only controls such a small county, would have so many troops in such a short time."
His eyes kept flickering, as if he was weighing something.
"Master Du!" Qi Lei was so anxious that he shouted, "What are you still worried about? Our families are in your hands. Can we still rebel?"
"If we don't send out a large army, all the efforts of the soldiers just now will be in vain. This is a good opportunity to capture Tongning County. There won't be such a good opportunity next time."
Seeing his anxious and calm expression, Liu Wei actually believed him a little: "Lord Du, speed is of the essence in war, we..."
Du Hong stared at Qi Lei for a long time before saying, "You better not lie to me, or none of your family will survive."
Qi Lei lowered his eyes: "We just want our family to be well. If we lie to you, how can they survive?"
Du Hong glanced at him, called his guards over and asked about the hostages, then nodded to Liu Wei: "General Liu, you lead the army forward, I will leave some people outside the city to support, just in case."
Old fox! Qi Lei cursed him in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about him, so he had to follow Liu Wei to the army.
In the camp, the deputy general had already prepared all the soldiers. When he saw Liu Wei coming, he asked excitedly: "General, can we set off now?"
The others also looked over, their eyes filled with a desire for military merit.
Seeing his soldiers so enthusiastic, Liu Wei didn't waste any words and raised the sword in his hand: "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
The word "one" rushed out from the mouths of densely packed soldiers, reaching the sky and startling the birds sleeping soundly in the withered yellow woods nearby, making them fly everywhere.
"General Qi, let's go and lead the way." Liu Wei said to Qi Lei.
"I obey your command." After Qi Lei bowed, he was the first to mount his warhorse and galloped towards Tongning County.
At this moment, the walls of Tongning County are almost entirely occupied by the Red Soul Army, with only a few enemy soldiers still resisting stubbornly.
But in the city, the sound of killing was still deafening. Just by listening to the sound of swords and knives, one could tell that a fierce battle was still going on inside.
Liu Wei's heart trembled, and he quickly whipped his horse whip, increased his speed, and rushed into the city gate with his soldiers like a fly.
As soon as he entered, he saw the Red Soul Army fighting with the soldiers of Tongning County. The other side was fully armed, and their weapons and armor were no worse than those of their imperial army. They were also very brave and did not look like bandits at all.
"No wonder you were defeated." Liu Wei and Qi Lei said to each other, then raised their weapons and rushed towards the enemy general who looked the most courageous.
When the other soldiers saw this, they also howled and looked for their targets, ready to kill.
But at this time, the two soldiers who were originally fighting in a group suddenly stopped fighting and retreated quickly. Even the corpses lying on the ground stood up and ran no slower than others.
Liu Wei: "..."
What else did he not understand: "Qi Lei, you actually rebelled."
Qi Lei didn't say a word, but instead organized his people to retreat at a faster speed.
Seeing their actions, Liu Wei couldn't help but panic: "Quickly retreat towards the city gate."
However, it was too late. A rain of arrows carrying a strong smell of kerosene flew towards them. If the guards had not quickly blocked them with their shields, Liu Wei would have been killed on the spot.
On the city wall, Luo Xi and Yin Li Chuzhe quietly watched the miserable state of the imperial army, and no one spoke.
After a while, Qi Lei came up. As soon as he arrived, he walked up to Luo Xi and apologized: "Boss, I'm sorry, I couldn't invite Du Hong in."
"It's okay. I didn't expect to kill them all in one go." Luo Xi didn't care at all.
If Du Hong was really that careless, she should really be worried.
Not far away, Du Hong also discovered something was wrong, and hurriedly led the soldiers outside the city to run towards the city gate, ready to provide support. However, he ran into Xia Zhong who was preparing to block the retreat of the imperial army, and the two sides started fighting.
Without the soldiers blocking their retreat, the imperial army trapped in the city quickly fled out of the city.
How can this be done?
Luo Xi quickly ordered the soldiers on the city wall to pour kerosene, thunder stones, rolling logs and other things towards the city gate. Suddenly, there were waves of wailing and screaming there again.
This battle lasted for an entire night before it ended. At this moment, there were no living imperial soldiers in the city. Corpses covered the entire city gate, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Report, Boss." At this time, a soldier ran towards Luo Xi and said, "Enemy generals Liu Wei and Du Hong are fleeing towards the city with the remaining troops. General Xiao asked his subordinates to come and ask the Boss, should we pursue them?"
Liu Wei was not dead. Luo Xi said without thinking: "Chase!"
After she finished speaking, she asked Chu Zhe and Yin Li to handle the final matters in Tongning County, while she went to hunt down the enemy with Xiao Yi and Xia Zhong.
No one knew what these two men ate to grow up, but they ran away at an incredibly fast speed. They only caught up with them when they reached the city gate of Nanyue Prefecture.
Not sure if it was because they had reached their own territory, Du Hong and his team stopped.
Although these people managed to escape here, they were in a very miserable state. They had thrown away their weapons and armor, their hair and clothes were disheveled, their faces were covered with dust and sweat, and there were only about 20,000 people left.
Du Hong staggered out, being supported by someone. There was a pool of blood on his clothes around his waist, and he must have been seriously injured, but Liu Wei didn't see anything.
If Luo Xigang was not mistaken, the person who was carried in as soon as the city gate was opened should be the commander Liu Wei.
It turned out that he was injured and unconscious, but he could still run so fast?
Tsk tsk, it would be great if he just died from the treatment.
Du Hongcai walked out and stared at Qi Lei: "What a Red Soul Army! I underestimated you."
He covered the wound on his waist, wishing he could pounce on them and eat all the soldiers of the Red Soul Army in one bite.
"But don't forget that all the families of the Red Soul Army are still in my hands. It seems that you don't intend to let them live?"
