The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Haha, then you wait."

Ning Quan smiled and waved.

In a blink of an eye, several guards rode away

A moment later, the guards brought back two hares.

"so cute!"

Seeing this, Li Wanyue ran over happily, grabbed one of the rabbits and held it in her arms.

"Your Highness, can I take this rabbit back?"

Li Wanyue asked, blinking her beautiful big eyes.

"of course can."

"Um."

Li Wanyue smiled happily, then returned the rabbit to the guard, preparing to take it home to raise.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounds suddenly came from a distance.

Ning Quan heard the sound and looked in the direction, only to see more than ten riders galloping towards him from a distance, led by Huo Qubing.

"Huh? Isn't this General Huo? Didn't he go to Qilian Mountain?"

Li Wanyue also noticed Huo Qubing and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"do not know."

"Something must have happened."

Looking at Huo Qubing who was rushing towards him, Ning Quan frowned.

"Your Highness, it's not good."

"A large number of bandits are heading here, preparing to besiege Hulan."

Huo Qubing came quickly and reported.

"What? Bandits actually dared to besiege Hulan?"

Ning Quan's face instantly darkened when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Over 6,000 bandits are heading towards Hulan. They are less than 30 miles away."

Huo Qubing continued to report.

"Humph, they are quite courageous."

"But this is also good, it's a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Let's go back immediately."

Ning Quan snorted coldly and then led everyone back.

"General Li, everything is left to you."

"We must destroy them all if possible."

After returning to the city, Ning Quan gave instructions to Li Jing.

Ning Quan is not good at commanding operations, so it is naturally safest to leave it to Li Jing.

"I accept the decree."

Li Jing clasped his fists in response.

......

Twenty miles outside Hulun City.

Thousands of bandits are marching towards Hulun City.

This team is composed of three gangs of bandits, namely the Gale Bandits, the Hero Bandits and the Flying Dragon Bandits.

The Swift Wind Bandits, the Heroic Village and the Flying Dragon Village are well-known bandits in the Beiting area. They commit many evil deeds on a daily basis, including burning, killing, looting and other atrocities.

The three leaders are all famous, skilled in martial arts, and are all above the eighth rank.

The leader of the Gale Bandits is called Xu Hu, an extremely cruel man.

The leader of the Hero Village is called Zhou Yong, and he is also a ruthless character.

The leader of Feilong Village is called Zhang Biao, who is also a cruel and ruthless person.

The three of them joined together, and their target was of course Ning Quan.

There was not much money in Hulun City before, and they were even too lazy to come.

But now it’s different. Ning Quan has arrived in Hulun and brought with him a large amount of supplies, food, and even treasures.

The temptation is too great for them.

So the three of them decided to join forces and prepare for a big fight.

As for why they wanted to unite, it was of course because Ning Quan had a lot of troops under his command, and no one of them could defeat them.

"Hahaha, brothers, let's go all out this time and try to eat Ning Quan in one go."

Xu Hu, the leader of the Gale Bandits, stood at the front and laughed loudly towards the sky.

"Hehe, yes, Boss Xu is right."

"If we win this battle, we won't have to suffer from hunger for at least three years."

Zhou Yong laughed.

"Yes, I'll be rich soon."

Zhang Biao also looked excited.

"Brothers, run a few steps."

"Capture Hulan and there will be a huge reward."

Xu Hu waved his hand and shouted loudly.

"okay!"

"Come on!"

......

The bandits shouted in unison and quickened their pace.

Soon, they arrived outside Hulun City.

At this moment, the gates of Hulun City had already been closed, and soldiers were on full alert on the city walls.

Seeing this, Xu Hu, Zhou Yong and others also looked serious.

They could naturally see that each of the defenders was an elite force.

"Haha, luckily we're united, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to eat them."

Xu Hu narrowed his eyes, looked at the densely packed defenders on the city wall, and said sinisterly.

"That's for sure. There are at least more than 2,000 of them."

Zhou Yong echoed.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter how many people we have. Let's just do it first."

Zhang Biao snorted coldly.

"Yeah, kill them."

"Well, let's do it!"

Xu Hu nodded.

"Brothers, kill!"

Immediately, Zhou Yong and Zhang Biao shouted and ordered the bandits to attack.

Suddenly, two thousand bandits rushed forward and attacked Hulun City.

At the same time, the defenders also began to fight back, and hundreds of arrows flew out and shot at the bandits.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Plop, plop!"

Arrows rained down on the bandits, and dozens of them were hit immediately.

For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and screams continued.

But the remaining bandits did not retreat and continued to charge forward.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

Li Jing on the city wall couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw this.

A group of rabble wanted to break through the city wall he was guarding.

Simply dreaming.

"Kill."

The bandits rushed to the city under a hail of arrows and began to climb the city wall.

The Hulun city wall is only two meters high and can be climbed with a little help.

"Archers, keep shooting."

"Spearmen, step forward and defend."

Seeing this, Li Jing immediately gave orders.

"Swish swish~"

"Bang bang bang~"

After receiving the order, the soldiers on the city wall quickly took up their positions.

The archers continued to shoot, and feathered arrows flew out and hit the climbing bandits again and again.

The spearmen raised their spears and stabbed at the bandits who were climbing up.

For a time, there were continuous howlings and heavy casualties.

"Your Highness, with just these few bandits, we can just kill them directly. Why bother defending the city?"

Zhang Fei, who had been watching the battle with Ning Quan, asked in confusion.

"Of course we want to eliminate as many of them as possible."

"If you attack, you will certainly win, but the bandits will definitely scatter and flee, making it difficult to wipe them out later."

Ning Quan explained.

"Oh, Your Highness is wise. I understand."

Zhang Fei was stunned.

"Okay, since you're itching to do it, go ahead and kill some!"

"Remember to hold back a bit and don't scare the enemy away."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was eager to try, Ning Quan said with a smile.

"promise!"

Zhang Fei grinned, then took big strides and ran in the direction.

"kill!"

"Kill them all."

When he got closer, Zhang Fei roared, swung his Zhangba Snake Spear, and chopped out sharp afterimages as he charged towards the bandits.

Those bandits were no match for Zhang Fei and were hacked to death in the blink of an eye.

Ning Quan ignored Zhang Fei and continued to watch the battle.

In this battle, Ning Quan's strategy was to show weakness to the enemy, lure the enemy into continuous attacks, and strive to wipe out all the bandits.

There are more than a dozen gangs of bandits, big and small, in Qilian Mountain, and it is very difficult to wipe them out due to the terrain.

The three gangs before us are the largest among the many bandits. If we can wipe them all out here, it will save us a lot of trouble in the future.

The battle continued, and although the bandits were brave, they were unable to break through the city walls.

Half a minute later, the bandits had no choice but to retreat, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
