"We must rescue Lu Qiu'er at all costs!"
Jincheng City Gate.
The soldiers on the city wall pulled Tian Zong, who hadn't slept all night, up onto the city wall.
Wang Ying's loud and piercing voice echoed throughout the city tower!
"Chu Lushan caused me to become an outlaw and lose my promising future!"
"We urge Lord Tian to hand over Chu Lushan! The Daliang Mountains must immediately withdraw their troops!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, but even the laborers on the city wall did not believe him.
"If you really have a grudge, just wait for Chu Lushan to be executed. Why bother with all this trouble!"
"This guy is clearly saving Chu Lushan so he can go to Beiliang for benefits!"
Tian Zong feigned ignorance and said, "Chief Wang, rest assured, this prefecture will definitely punish Chu Lushan severely to avenge you!"
Wang Ying ordered a thousand civilians to be driven to the front of the battle line and kneel down. Several farmers who struggled were immediately beheaded.
In an instant, cries and screams echoed throughout the city!
These ordinary people, who had suffered an undeserved calamity, kowtowed one by one towards the direction of Jincheng!
"Lord Tian, please save us!"
"Sir! We don't want to die!"
The soldiers and laborers on the city wall were terrified!
Wang Ying's voice was ruthless and resolute, determined to break down the psychological defenses of the city's laborers!
"Tian Zong, if you don't hand over Chu Lushan, I'll kill a hundred of you in a quarter of an hour!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a hundred bandits, acting on orders, raised their knives and brought them down!
Blood flowed everywhere in front of the bandits, and their fallen corpses were still twitching in pain!
The bound civilians let out pitiful screams!
The bandits behind them burst into wild laughter!
"Hahaha! You surnamed Tian, release them right now!"
"If you won't let go, we'll just keep at it!"
In the eyes of these ruthless bandits, there is no difference between killing a person and slaughtering a dog!
The massacre will only excite and delight them!
Xu Fengnian, who was riding on his horse, couldn't help but tremble with his hands!
He believed he had done nothing wrong, but he couldn't help feeling fear in his heart!
Tian Zong spent a quarter of an hour that felt like a year, until the bandits once again swung their knives!
Another burst of crying and screaming!
News of what happened at the city gates has reached the city, and immense chaos and panic are imminent!
If Jincheng is captured, the governor will either be skinned alive by bandits or beheaded by the imperial court.
Losing Chu Lushan would at worst mean losing an official position and being demoted.
Moreover, Han Diaosi had previously abandoned his post without authorization.
"Wang Ying! Stop!"
"This government agrees to your conditions, but you must withdraw your troops immediately!"
"Men, take Chu Lushan to the city wall and hoist him down!"
Upon hearing Tian Zong's words, a deafening cheer erupted from the bandits!
Among these people were three thousand of Chu Lushan's men!
Half an hour later, Chu Lushan's obese body was hoisted off the city wall by the soldiers!
At this time, Chu Lushan's injuries had already healed, and he was in good health.
His eyes were filled with resentment and malice!
Chu Lushan turned his obese body around and stared at the city wall with a sinister look in his eyes!
"Li Chang'an! Track and Field!"
"If I don't kill you all to avenge this great grudge, I, Chu Lushan, swear I will not be a man!"
Chu Lushan's voice became shrill and piercing!
These two sentences sound like they're filled with resentment, madness, and murderous intent!
Inside the tent, Chu Lushan knelt down in front of Xu Fengnian with a thud.
"Your Highness! Waaaaah..."
"Lu Qiu'er knows that the young master will definitely come back to save me!"
"Our Northern Liang army numbers 350,000; when have we ever been bullied like this!"
"Woooooooo..."
Xu Fengnian was in high spirits after rescuing Chu Lushan.
"Luqiu'er, you've been wronged this time!"
Chu Lushan said fiercely, "Your Highness, Luqiu will make sure Li Chang'an dies without a burial place!"
Xu Fengnian readily agreed, "The three thousand cavalrymen of Beiliang will all be under your command! I will also allocate three thousand infantrymen to you!"
Chu Lushan boasted, "Three thousand Northern Liang cavalrymen are enough!"
Xu Fengnian also had full confidence in Chu Lushan, "Of the eight first-rank masters under my command, I will give you five!"
"Lu Qiu'er! Take revenge for every grudge, settle every score for every grievance!"
Chu Lushan's face flushed with excitement, and his eyes blazed with a fierce light!
"Your Highness, rest assured, Lu Qiu'er will definitely capture Li Chang'an alive!"
"I will make him repay the pain he caused me a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"
After Chu Lushan led his troops away, Xu Fengnian said to Wang Ying, "General Wang deserves great credit for rescuing Luqiu this time!"
"You still have seven thousand men. If you can take Jincheng, you can do whatever you want with them!"
The money, food, horses, and women in Jincheng were the best reward for the ruthless bandits.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying knelt down excitedly, "Your Highness, I, Wang Ying, am willing to follow you to the death!"
Wang Ying stepped outside the tent and told the leaders, both big and small, about the attack and plunder of Jincheng.
Immediately, cheers erupted outside the tent!
Yuanping.
Upon learning that Chu Lushan was leading his army, Li Chang'an had already made preparations.
The four thousand Mo Dao soldiers and Bai Fei soldiers are now equipped with the latest gear!
These elites are all fourth-rank martial artists!
Li Chang'an, dressed in brand-new black gleaming armor, rode his horse at the forefront of the army formation.
"Soldiers!"
"That scoundrel Chu Lushan is here with his Northern Liang cavalry!"
"Everyone says that the Northern Liang cavalry are the best cavalry in Liyang!"
"When you swept across the land and conquered the six kingdoms, how did you respond?"
Li Chang'an's first batch of soldiers all had a blood feud with Chu Lushan!
Upon hearing that Chu Lushan had escaped, they were all filled with righteous indignation and glared angrily!
"Fight to the death!"
The veterans have shown their mettle in the battle at Qingcheng Mountain!
The newly recruited soldiers in Yinping are now fully equipped with armor and weapons and are eager to put their skills to use!
"We swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"
"Your Highness! The soldiers of Beiliang are human too; one strike and their heads will roll!"
"Your Highness! The Northern Liang soldiers entered the Mo Dao formation, and both men and horses were annihilated!"
"The Tang Emperor's Mo Dao soldiers are the ones who cut down elite cavalry!"
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard intermittently in Li Chang'an's ears.
They are scouts from the Northern Liang army!
Li Chang'an released his true energy, and his voice could be heard for dozens of miles!
"Tell Chu Lushan!"
