Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 617 Chu Mingyu, Unmatched by Ten Thousand Men; Jin Wuzhu, Leading the Charge [1st Update]

"kill--"

Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji led 10,000 troops into the Jin camp.

Sure enough, the camp gate opened with a single ramming.

To their disbelief, all the figures in the Jin camp were actually scarecrows.

In broad daylight, there wasn't a single living person in the Jin camp.

Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji exchanged a glance. Sure enough, it was all an illusion; the Jin soldiers had already left.

This disappointed Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji: You can leave, but at least leave us some heads!
They're all scarecrows. Did we come for nothing?
"Search!"

Unwilling to give up, Chu Mingyu issued orders, and ten thousand Liao soldiers dispersed throughout the Jin camp to search everywhere.

However, to his surprise, the Jin camp suddenly unleashed its ambush!
Countless Jin soldiers rushed out from behind the deer antlers, from the military tents, and from the haystacks!
These Jin soldiers each had a twig in their mouths, silently unleashing a frenzied slaughter on the Liao soldiers!
Caught off guard, the Liao soldiers were slaughtered and cried out in despair...

Don't be fooled by how easily the Liao soldiers could dominate the Song soldiers; the Jin soldiers could do the same to the Liao soldiers.

Not to mention that the number of Jin soldiers lying in ambush was ten times that of the Liao soldiers, which put Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji in a panic.

"Retreat—retreat quickly—"

Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji hurriedly turned their horses around and rushed towards the gate of the Jin camp.

However, the Jin soldiers were simply too numerous, and their supposed invincibility was far from enough; no matter how they charged, they couldn't break through...

……

"The fight started!"

On the city gate tower, Dongxian Shilang looked down at the distant Jin camp and excitedly slapped the crenellation.

He saw the Jin camp teeming with people, filled with the deafening sounds of battle, and he was very pleased with himself, knowing that his judgment had indeed been correct.

What does it mean to strategize within the command tent and win battles a thousand miles away?

It's a pity that the main force of the Jin army left; at most, they could only capture some old, weak, and disabled people...

Fortunately, the heads of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled are still heads!
Dongxian Shilang pondered the future for a while on the city gate tower, when he heard the shouts of battle from the Jin camp cease.

Two other fierce generals, Aliqi and Yao'erweikang, who were known for their unparalleled bravery, rushed to the scene upon hearing the news:
"Minister, how is the battle going?"

Dongxian Shilang pointed in the direction of the Jin camp and said smugly:
"It's all over!"

"Ugh--"

Aliqi and Yao'erweikang sighed to each other.

They were on their day off today, but they missed their chance to earn merit.

After waiting for a while, the gates of the Jin camp opened, and many Liao soldiers returned home in high spirits, laden with spoils.

When the Liao soldiers got closer, Dongxian Shilang saw that they were all carrying various kinds of spoils of war.

Perhaps because they were too pleased with their victory, they carried their spoils and chatted and laughed, not serious at all.

Even the ranks were in disarray, and Chu Mingyu rode ahead on horseback without paying any attention to it.

Aliqi and Yao'er Weikang were even more frustrated. They weren't afraid of their brother living a hard life, but they were afraid of their brother driving a Land Rover.

Among the four fierce generals, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji were ranked last, but unexpectedly, they were given the credit.

It doesn't matter to Dongxian Shilang, since all the great achievements were made under his brilliant command anyway.

"Lower the drawbridge! Open the city gates!"

Dongxian Shilang, beaming with joy, urged them repeatedly, and then said to Aliqi and Yao'er Weikang:
"Let's go and welcome the victorious heroes!"

Aliqi and Yao'er Weikang were extremely annoyed, but they could only accompany Dongxian Shilang to the city gate.

When Chu Mingyu was escorted onto the drawbridge by Liao soldiers, Dongxian Shilang was already standing at the city gate.

Just then, Aliqi suddenly spotted a familiar figure:

The man's face was as red as charcoal, his hair as black as clouds, his eyebrows were bushy and his beard long, his mouth wide and his eyes round, his body was ten feet tall and his shoulders were three sections wide!
He stood out from the Liao soldiers by half a head!

Although this person was wearing Liao soldier armor, the aura he exuded was so overwhelming that even Chu Mingyu couldn't lift her head... Aliqi suddenly remembered that he had met that person once before when he was dueling with other generals on the battlefield!
"Wanyan Wushu!"

Arich's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly realized:

"Oh no! They're Jin soldiers!"
"Chu Mingyu has been taken hostage by the Jin soldiers!"

"what?"

Dongxian Shilang could hardly believe his ears; at this point, Jin Wuzhu had stopped acting.

"kill--"

With a roar, Jin Wuzhu mounted his four-hoofed Snow-Spotted Fire Dragon Steed and took his Chi-tailed Phoenix-headed Golden Sparrow Axe from the Bird-wing Ring Victory Hook!
Like a mountain-splitting warrior, or a demon king incarnate!

Jin Wuzhu was also a fierce general; he fought Yue Fei at his peak for eighty rounds before finally being unable to withstand him.

He also defeated the elderly Huyan Zhuo in over forty rounds.

He's at least at the level of a weak tiger, on par with Yang Zhi.

At this moment, Jin Wuzhu took the lead and charged towards Dongxian Shilang on horseback!

Dongxian Shilang panicked, but fortunately he had Aliqi and Yao'er Weikang by his side.

Yao'er Weikang hoisted Dongxian Shilang onto his shoulder and turned to run. Aliqi snatched a spear from a nearby soldier and blocked Jin Wuzhu.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Aliqi fought a few rounds with Jin Wuzhu before being overwhelmed by the Jin army.

Even more terrifying, he heard a thunderous roar!

When Aliqi took a moment to look, he discovered that countless cavalrymen were charging towards the Jin army camp!
This city is probably beyond defense...

Having no other choice, Alici fought and retreated, until he reached the city where he heard his personal guards calling him:

"General, your weapons and horses are here!"

Aliqi feinted an attack, then turned and charged to his personal guards. He mounted his silver, zig-fist-shaped horse, grabbed his pear-blossom steel-tipped spear, and shouted:
"Come with me!"

Arich charged towards the back door...

……

A day later, Dongxian Shilang, Aliqi, and Yao'er Weikang led their remaining troops, dejected, along the forest path.

They were as busy as stray dogs and as hasty as fish that had escaped the net, all heading to Jizhou.

Dongxian Shilang was extremely frustrated. Even if he tried to shift the blame onto Chu Mingyu, he would still be implicated.

The only option now is to seek help from Yelü Dezhong. If Yelü Dezhong is willing to send troops to help him take back Tanzhou, that would be best.

If Yelü Dezhong refused, he could at least ask Yelü Dezhong to say a few good words to the Wolf Lord.

Aliqi and Yao'erweikang exchanged a glance, speechless. Having such a boss was truly a misfortune.

"Quack! Quack!"

Just then, the sound of hooves echoed along the forest path, and several horses were galloping toward them.

To avoid being pursued by the Jin soldiers, they deliberately avoided the main road and took a side road, but unexpectedly they still ran into the Jin soldiers' scouts.

The remnants of the defeated army, like frightened birds, all looked towards Aliqi and Yao'erweikang.

Arich made a decisive gesture:
Ready to fight!

However, to their surprise, those horses were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them!
It turned out to be three young generals on white horses, wearing white robes, silver armor, and carrying silver spears, plus a young general carrying a large iron hammer.

"kill!"

Aliqi shouted and spurred his horse forward, brandishing his spear, to charge at the four young generals!

Yao'er Weikang followed closely behind, carrying a large knife!

With the two of them as their core, the remaining soldiers charged forward!
