I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

After hearing this order, several captains shook their heads helplessly and went down to make the announcement.

This war is no longer worth fighting.

If there were casualties during a siege and the battle was fought slowly, with so many casualties, then the war would still be fought, the morale of the army would still be there, and the troops would still have combat effectiveness.

But what's happening now, right after the battle started, thousands of troops disappeared in an instant. This is simply unheard of.

Not to mention them, even if the most elite troops under Prince Zhao were transferred here, the same would happen.

After a moment, Xin Wu turned around and took a last deep look at Taiping County, then led his troops away without looking back.

I failed to take it today because of my carelessness. Jiang Yuan, remember, one day, I will capture this city!

On the other hand, seeing the rebels withdrawing, Long Guangxian on the city wall felt very complicated. He still couldn't figure out what was in the wine jar that Jiang Yuan threw away?

It can actually start a fire at the sight of a spark and cannot be extinguished. Does such a fire really exist in the world?

Or maybe, as the name of this fire suggests, it is a will-o'-the-wisp from hell?

While Long Guangxian was thinking about this, Jiang Yuan had already gathered more than a thousand people at the city gate. These people were all carefully selected, and most of them were native to Taiping County.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these guys may not be considered elite, but they are familiar with the road conditions, and the people of Taiping County are simple and honest. If a real fight breaks out, their combat effectiveness is still quite good.

A moment later, Wang Yuan brought two or three carts of truth bombs with him and came to Jiang Yuan panting.

"Sir, as you ordered, one thousand are all here."

Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, take one and follow me!"

"Ahhh! I'm finally going to kill the enemy and make a contribution!"

"Hehehe! Rebels ahead, you don't want to be caught up by us, right?"

"Everyone, bring enough equipment and follow me after confirming everything is in order!"

Jiang Yuan raised his arm and shouted, and thousands of people suddenly burst into cheers.

Not long after, Jiang Yuan led a group of people out of the city gate, passed through the open area of ​​Taiping County Gate, and plunged into the mountains and forests.

Long Guangxian, who was still directing the aftermath work on the city wall, unconsciously frowned.

Are you sure it's the army and not bandits coming down the mountain?

Do these screaming guys look like regular troops at all?

Could Jiang Yuan really rely on these guys to keep Xin Wu's more than 10,000 troops in the mountains?

Regardless of whether others can do it or not, Long Guangxian doesn't believe it in his heart. There are too few people, and even if he is familiar with the road conditions, it is impossible.

Two hours later, it was almost evening.

In the mountains, Jiang Yuan and a thousand Voldemorts were lying on the edge of a cliff. The road below was the only way for Xin Wu and his group to pass.

After a while, Li Hu came up from behind stealthily.

"Sir, I have already informed them that Panshi is leading his men to destroy the mountain road."

"Good!" Jiang Yuan sneered at the deserted road. "The way out of the mountain is gone. You're here and you still want to leave? There's no such good thing in the world!"

"Everyone, listen up! Team One and Team Two, listen to my orders and drop all the truth bombs in your hands. The rest of you, don't move. Anyone who disobeys this order will have to listen to the Taiping Milk Tea Shop owner sing for three days!"

"hiss!"

"Isn't that a bit harsh?"

"Is it not necessary, sir?"

Listening to the conversations around him, Jiang Yuan angrily thought to the guy closest to him: "Stop bargaining with me! This is a war, and people will die. If you want to live, do as I say!"

After Jiang Yuan's loud cursing, everyone shrank their necks and laughed.

"Don't worry, sir. We are all honest people. We will do whatever you say."

"That's right, whoever dares to disobey the adults, Erzhuzi will be the first to not let him go!"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips in disdain. These were a bunch of aggressive people, all of them were born in the Year of the Dog, and they could change their faces at any time.

"Remember everything, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After warning everyone again, a figure finally appeared in Jiang Yuan's sight. He Wu, with a broken arm and bloodshot eyes, walked in front to lead the way.

"Oh, this guy is really lucky. He didn't die even when white phosphorus stuck to his hand. But he was decisive enough to chop off his arm. He is quite ruthless."

"Sir, are you going to take action?" Zhao Kai looked at the figure below with a sneaky look.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He Wu was considered an expert, and it would be bad if he heard anything.

As time passed, the vanguard led by He Wu had already passed through this area, and the large force led by Xin Wu in the rear had also traveled more than halfway.

The first and second teams who received the order on the cliff all stared at Jiang Yuan's hands. As long as Jiang Yuan took action, they would follow immediately.

A moment later, when the troops transporting food and fodder appeared below, Jiang Yuan decisively picked up the fire starter and started to light it.

Jiang Yuan waited until the fuse was only a few centimeters long before he suddenly threw it out.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Hundreds of explosions rang in his ears. Jiang Yuan quickly got up and waved to everyone. A group of people immediately ran away and rushed into the dense forest and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the rebels below were already in chaos. The guys in the center of the explosion fell asleep without a word, while those who were not in the center but were hit by flying shrapnel rolled on the ground with convulsions.

Many people even rolled down the cliff...

Finally, after half a minute of chaos, He Wu returned with the vanguard.

"What's going on? What just happened?"

"Someone tell me! What's going on?"

After He Wu roared twice in a row, a soldier pointed tremblingly at the sky: "General, I, I'm afraid we have been punished by God..."

"Bullshit!" He Wu looked up at the sky and shouted angrily.

"Are you half asleep or haven't woken up yet? Why are we being punished by God?"

"Sir, this is true. I was walking at the back, and as I was walking, a lot of things suddenly fell from the sky, and then it was like thunder in front of me, with lightning and thunder." The soldier said in a crying voice.

He Wu was even more confused. Thunder? Although it was getting late, the sky was still clear. How could there be thunder?

Just when He Wu was confused, Xin Wu rushed over with several of his trusted associates.

"He Wu, what happened?"

"General, we are still investigating, but this kid said that there was a thunderbolt that struck our troops just now." He Wu said in a low voice.

Xin Wu's face suddenly changed. Since ancient times, going to war has always been about complying with the will of heaven, so that it can be considered as a legitimate cause. Now, he is being punished by heaven, and even God can't stand it anymore.

If this matter were to get out, not only the ten thousand men under his command, but even the hundreds of thousands of troops under Prince Zhao would probably become deserters in an instant!
