The arrival of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai made Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin happy. With the help of two veteran generals, even if they had fewer soldiers, their chances of winning increased and their losses would be reduced.

But the news that Cheng Pu brought next made everyone ecstatic.

"Haha, Gongyi, Youping, this time we are not the only ones coming to help. Duke Yi and Darong are leading 30,000 Jiangdong navy troops. They have passed Dengtian Pass and are galloping towards here. They will arrive tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Qin shouted, "Okay, 30,000 Jiangdong naval forces, let's fight the governor tomorrow. This time our forces are not inferior to his at all, not to mention that we have four generals in charge."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin naturally knew that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao were the four great generals under Sun Jian, and each of them was brave in battle and had both courage and strategy.

The first three later served as ministers under Sun Ce and Sun Quan. Only Zu Mao failed to save Sun Jian and was killed at Hulao Pass. It was a pity that they were unable to work together.

Now in this world, I can finally catch a glimpse of the grace of the four generals.

Not only Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were happy, when the four of them were born together, God knows how happy they were when they woke up again and saw each other.

Zhou Tai then introduced Li Yinzhi, Du Mo, Lu Zhishen and others to Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.

After a brief chat and getting to know each other, everyone began to discuss tomorrow's attack.

That night, Han Dang and Zu Mao successfully arrived with 30,000 Jiangdong navy troops, greatly increasing their strength.

The reinforcement of 30,000 troops naturally could not be hidden from the spies of the Luzhou governor, and the news soon reached the Luzhou governor Wang Zongren.

When he saw the contents of the note, his face showed a hint of panic and shock.

He didn't understand why a wild Buddhist force only knew how to ring bells and chant scriptures; and why a river bandit with no background suddenly had four powerful generals and 30,000 troops.

"Humph, I don't care who is standing behind them, even if it's a prince. The Tang family has been ruling the country for long enough. Why can't I, Wang Zongren, compete with them?"

"Hmph, even if there is such reinforcement, what's the harm? I don't know what you are capable of, whether you can be my opponent. Since you are going to attack this governor tomorrow, I will wait and see."

After receiving the news, Wang Zongren did not take Zhou Tai and others seriously at all, not knowing that he would soon regret his decision today.

······

The next day, the army gathered and marched straight to the city of Tianyang.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were at the front, followed by Li Yinzhi, Lu Zhishen, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others, who rode on horseback at the forefront of the team.

Wang Zongren, who had received the news early, stood on the top of the city wall in a dark cold armor, looking at the troops with flags flying below the city. For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Especially when he met Cheng Pu's dusty eyes, Wang Zongren suddenly felt as if he was seen through.

Perhaps because he was not confident, Wang Zongren murmured, "Hmm? This person may not be as simple as he seems. This is really beyond my expectations. It seems that I need to be more cautious in my plan."

The drums were beating loudly and the horns were blowing in a dull and melodious voice. As the sounds of drums and horns spread in all directions, the air was suddenly filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Feeling helpless and angry, Jiang Qin immediately applied to go into battle. He wanted to dampen the enemy's morale as soon as possible and vent the anger that had accumulated in his heart.

"Dong dong dong -"

The war drums vibrated and thumped, and the battle began.

Jiang Qin held a spear in his hand and attacked the enemy with all his strength.

As a result, unexpectedly, the enemy general was killed by Jiang Qin after just one encounter.

Later, Jiang Qin fought more and more fiercely, killing twelve enemy generals of all sizes in a row.

After this battle, Jiang Qin's strength was finally realized.

Wang Zongren looked at the corpses on the battlefield. He was heartbroken to see twelve men lost in a short period of time, but for the sake of his plan he could only choose to endure it silently.

Seeing that no one under his command dared to fight, Wang Zongren could only choose to hold his ground and wait for the army to attack.

Sure enough, no matter how Jiang Qin shouted and cursed under the city wall, no one on Wang Zongren's side responded.

In desperation, Zhou Tai could only order his Jiangdong troops to charge towards Tianyang City.

As the army charged, a war was about to break out.

Ladders, siege vehicles, catapults and other siege weapons developed by the Mohists were also put on the table.

The reason why all kinds of siege equipment appeared was that Cheng Pu specially prepared them to reduce casualties, and now they finally came in handy.

In addition, Lu Zhishen, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others flew to the top of the city wall and launched a frenzied massacre of the soldiers defending the city, which greatly relieved the pressure on the attacking soldiers, and more and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city wall.

Below, with the repeated impact of the siege vehicle, the sturdy gate began to shake.

"Boom--"

As the city gate was knocked open, a hail of arrows suddenly flew out from inside, so dense that they were like a swarm of locusts passing through, capable of swallowing up lives in an instant.

"Buddhism - Bodhi tree, out"

As Li Yinzhi's voice rang out, Buddha's light suddenly shone brightly around him, and the shadow of a Bodhi tree appeared behind him breaking out of the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it has grown into a towering tree.

The arrows flying in from the sky collided with the shadow of the Bodhi tree, making a sound like iron colliding, and the more powerful ones even created sparks.

The Bodhi leaves were like shields, easily blocking the arrows from the sky.

"Kill--"

As shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield, the monks behind Li Yinzhi immediately raised their sticks and charged forward.

After almost a day of fighting, Feiyang City was captured.

But unexpectedly, after entering the city, Wang Shouren and his generals seemed to have disappeared, and their figures were not seen at all.

Even the soldiers guarding the city retreated from another gate and evacuated to the rear in a timely manner.

Cheng Pu looked at the somewhat empty streets. Apart from the corpses all over the ground, he didn't seem to sense a lot of life. Even the people in the city seemed to be pitifully few.

As if he had thought of something, Cheng Pu found Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and others and told them his guess.

Li Yinzhi asked Du Mo to investigate secretly to see if he could find any abnormalities.

Soon, Du Mo returned and announced the results of the investigation to the public.

In the city, under the surrounding walls, in the villagers' homes, and everywhere on the streets, there are saltpeter and thunder rock buried. Once they are ignited by fire, the saltpeter will burst into violent flames and the thunder rock will emit a powerful thunder force. The entire city may be razed to the ground by the explosion.

By then, those in the city will die without a burial place.

After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to take advantage of the situation.
