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

In the distance, watching the scene happening on the top of the mountain, Zhao Junxuan and Jiazi looked at each other, and both of them felt a tightness in their hearts.

Yang Tai and I were talking just fine, why did we suddenly start fighting?

One hundred thousand taels of gold, not a penny less this time, could it be that the other party has gone back on their word again?

"Your Highness, I think something might have gone wrong. How about I lead my troops in the attack?"

Zhao Junxuan shook his head: "I don't know what happened yet. I'll tell you when Yang Tai comes back and asks."

At this time, Yang Tai, who was scolded by Jiang Yuan, stood up tremblingly. He didn't even dare to say anything harsh. He quickly called the soldiers he brought with him and left in a hurry.

When Yang Tai returned to Zhao Junxuan in a miserable state with a group of soldiers.

"Yang Tai, what is going on?" Zhao Junxuan spoke quickly with a gloomy face.

According to the original plan, Yang Tai was only given a cup of tea, but since both parties seemed to be having a good conversation, a rough calculation showed that half an hour had already passed.

Judging from the speed of Chen Liu, it will probably take at most two quarters of an hour (half an hour) for the other party to catch up.

If we fail to reach an agreement, not only will we have wasted half an hour, but we will also have to give away 100,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. This is a huge loss.

"Your Highness, the people in Taiping County are extremely treacherous!" Yang Tai cried with a sad face.

Zhao Junxuan frowned. The moment he heard this, he understood that the negotiations must have broken down.

"Someone from Taiping County? Could it be Jiang Yuan?"

Yang Tai nodded in great sorrow: "Yes, Your Highness, it was him. This man is full of crooked ideas and even attacked me. It's simply outrageous!"

Zhao Junxuan immediately raised his head and looked at the figure in the distance, shouting with all his strength:

"Jiang Yuan! You've tried to stop me time and time again. Are you really going to fight me to the death today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's voice was heard from a distance.

"Prince Zhao, we in Taiping County have never tried to stop you. But you, time and again, have set your sights on attacking Taiping County. Do you really think we're easy to bully?"

"I'm going to say this today. No matter what you do from here, I will never agree!"

"I absolutely disagree!"

Zhao Junxuan's face looked extremely ugly. A life-and-death battle was inevitable.

"Your Highness! Look!" Jiazi's shocked voice came, and Zhao Junxuan couldn't help but look up.

Originally, the total number of Taiping County people scattered across various mountain ranges was only 10,000 people, but at this moment, the two mountain ranges on the left and right were almost full of people, including many cavalrymen riding tall horses.

If they charged down with the momentum from above, it would be enough to scatter the infantry behind them.

The next moment, a sound like a tsunami rang out.

"If your Excellency disagrees, we absolutely won't agree!"

"We won't agree!"

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Junxuan turned around to look at the soldiers behind him, and his heart sank.

Compared with the high spirits and strong momentum of the Taiping County soldiers, our side was in a state of defeat and had no fighting spirit at all.

To put it bluntly, if I didn't have food on hand, these guys would have run away long ago.

"Generals, obey the order!"

Zhao Junxuan said in a deep voice.

"The general is here!"

A weak voice suddenly came from behind him, but Zhao Junxuan did not continue to speak.

"Everyone, you know our current situation. We have pursuers approaching us. They will kill us in less than half an hour!"

"And now, there is only one way before us: either we fight our way through here, or we are attacked from both sides and annihilated!"

"Tell me now, do you want to live?"

After a moment of silence, the army suddenly erupted in an earth-shaking roar.

"Think! We have to survive!"

"We want to survive!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junxuan finally felt relieved. The most frightening thing for an army is not to always lose battles, even if it has never experienced victory.

But the most frightening thing is that everyone has become a walking corpse, alive or dead, this is the most terrifying thing.

Now that the hope of survival has been awakened in the hearts of these soldiers, there is nothing more to say.

"All officers, listen to my orders and fight your way out!"

"kill!"

Jiazi roared and rushed out first. The tens of thousands of soldiers behind him all raised their weapons, and everyone's face showed the desire to survive.

In this battle, they have no way to retreat. If they don't win this battle, they will die. Everyone understands this and everyone will fight for their lives.

Jiang Yuan, standing on the top of the mountain, looked at the scene of thousands of horses galloping in front of him with cold eyes, and his blood suddenly rose in his heart.

"Fire arrows!"

There are as many as 50,000 troops stationed in Taiping County. The people in the barbarian tribes are not only cavalrymen, but also natural archers. Tens of thousands of feather arrows were shot into the sky, like a big net covering the rebels.

But there were more than 100,000 people in front of them. After three rounds of arrow rain, the rebel chariots and cavalry had already rushed to their front.

Jiang Yuan didn't even need to say anything. Everyone started to desperately throw the rolling logs and stones that had been prepared in advance down.

For a full half a quarter of an hour, the rebels were unable to rush up the hillside.

At this time, all the rolling logs and stones prepared by everyone had been used up.

"Start Plan One!"

With Jiang Yuan's loud shout, countless truth grenades were thrown out instantly.

Boom boom boom!

The sounds of countless explosions rang in their ears, but the rebels still rushed forward. Everyone knew that if they rushed forward, they would at least have a chance of survival.

But if the Chenliu army that has been chasing them catches up, everyone will die!

In this life-or-death crisis, everyone rushed forward desperately...

Soon, as the truth bombs were exhausted, the hellfire finally returned to the battlefield.

The sky was filled with flames that started burning again. Once the skin was touched by them, unless one cut them off immediately like He Wu did in the past, one would have to endure the excruciating pain.

In the distance, Zhao Junxuan looked at the scene in front of him, and looked at Yang Tai beside him with blank eyes.

"Yang Tai, you are very knowledgeable. Where did the explosion and the fire come from?"

Yang Tai swallowed his saliva and could no longer speak. He could only shake his head mechanically.

Zhao Junxuan frowned. Not long after the battle started, his side had already lost nearly 10,000 people.

If this wasn't a life-and-death battle, the army would have collapsed long ago.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junxuan immediately shouted, "All troops, listen up! If we don't break through today, we will die. We have no way out!"

"If they don't die, we will die! Everyone must move forward and not retreat. If anyone is afraid of fighting, the supervisory team will kill them without mercy!"

At this time, on the top of the mountain, all the prepared means have been exhausted, and the number of rebels is still over 100,000.

Faced with such a scene, all the generals looked towards Jiang Yuan. Whether to charge or not all depended on Jiang Yuan's decision.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Yuan calmly threw away the official hat on his head, quickly took out a rope to tie up his long hair, and walked straight to the war drum placed aside.

boom! Bang bang bang!

The deep and heavy sound of drums rang in everyone's ears.

Zhao Kai drew the long sword from his waist with murderous intent: "Master, the drum has been beaten. Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Woo!

Oh oh oh!

The war horn representing the barbarians sounded, interweaving with the sound of Jiang Yuan's drums. In an instant, the 50,000 troops on the top of the mountain were all furious.

"Kill! Go forward without hesitation, there is no life or death!"

The first to take action were the barbarian cavalry. Countless horses rushed down the sand slope, driving the iron chains and iron rods behind them.

At this time, the rebels who rushed to the middle of the mountain slope had already put their lives at risk.

For a moment, sand was flying, and the sound of armored horses colliding was endless. The cavalrymen from both sides who were rushing in the front soon collided with each other.

The shouts of killing and the neighing of war horses were intertwined. With just this wave of impact, the Taiping County cavalry, who were hit hard, completely washed the rebels down the hillside.

Many generals in Taiping County joined together and led the most elite cavalry to charge directly towards Zhao Junxuan's location.

Wang Gang, a tall and strong man, was wearing armor and could easily kill the rebels with the saber in his hand.

Jiazi, who was still below, quickly noticed the purpose of these people.

"Shuluan, Sichen, Renwei, Kui Shen."

As soon as Jiazi finished speaking, several figures among the rebels suddenly rose into the air.

"exist!"

It was just a simple word, but when it came out of the mouths of several people, it gave people a sense of extreme confidence and calmness.

Jiazi slowly pointed his finger in the direction of the many generals in Taiping County and said word by word, "I want these guys dead!"

"it is good."

Without much talk, Shu Luan and his men immediately sneaked into the rebel army again, waiting for the opportunity, ready to deal a fatal blow to Wang Gang, Zhao Kai and others at any time.

At this time, Jiang Yuan, who had stopped beating the drum, let out a long breath, took out a helmet and put it on his head.

"General Long."

"I understand!" Long Guangxian strode towards the warhorse beside him, jumped on it, and pointed the spear in his hand at Zhao Junxuan.

"Follow me!"

Jiang Yuan slowly watched Long Guangxian and his three thousand cavalrymen rush down the mountain again, and his eyes couldn't help but fall behind him.

That is Taiping County’s last trump card.

There weren't many of them, only a hundred.

However, these one hundred people took away countless silver from Taiping County.

Each one of them is carefully selected and is a strong man capable of lifting thousands of pounds. The weakest ones are about to enter the second realm of strength.

All of them were wearing heavy armor, even their faces were covered with protective gear woven from iron rings. The horses under their crotch had long been armed into steel monsters, even their hooves were covered with iron armor.

Both the man and the horse are wearing armor, and they are called Iron Pagoda.

If there are still several ways for infantry to deal with cavalry, the sickle spear can chop off the horse's legs, and the Modao team can kill both the light cavalry and their horses with one blow.

But no matter whether it is the sickle spear or the Modao team, it is a pure joke in front of the Iron Pagoda!
