Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Wu Zhen's team silently approached Liujia Village.

While they were still some distance apart, Wu Zhen did not rush to attack, but instead sent out scouts to gather information about the village.

Although they were just a motley crew that had temporarily gathered together, as a general, the worst thing you can do is underestimate the enemy.

If the enemy numbers are too large, he wouldn't mind waiting a while once the defensive works are complete.

Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, a night raid is a good option.

As soon as the scout returned, Wu Zhen couldn't wait to ask.

"How well is the village defended? What is its weakest point?"

"Reporting to you, sir, the village is almost completely undefended. There are only a few men dressed in leather clothing and carrying wooden swords wandering around the village entrance."

The scout paused, let out a barely perceptible sigh, and continued, "Most of the people in that village are elderly or children. It must be a gathering of the remaining people from several surrounding villages."

"Is there anything unusual?" Wu Zhen thought for a moment, then asked.

"There are some unusual things, quite a few," the scout said. "There's a hole every so often in the village, but the holes are very obvious, and the cavalry can easily avoid them."

On one side of the village, there were small houses that looked and smelled like mushrooms, but we didn’t dare to get close for fear of being discovered. So we couldn’t be sure if they were mushrooms or just something the villagers were doing to scare us.

On the other side is a strange lake, only a dozen meters long, which must have emerged from underground. Perhaps it was because of the discovery of this lake that the people from those villages gathered here and formed a new village.

On the outskirts of the village, there's a strange, large, square building made of wood; perhaps something is hidden inside.

"Ignore those anomalies, and if we charge straight in, what do you think our chances of winning are?" Wu Zhen then asked.

The village was almost entirely populated by the elderly and children, with flimsy fortifications that were practically useless, and combatants wielding wooden swords.

The scout said almost with certainty, "The other side won't be able to fight back at all."

He could already picture the scene where, once the cavalry charged into the village, the villagers who had been resisting the attack would immediately crumble and scatter in all directions.

"I see. You may leave now." Wu Zhen waved his hand, signaling him to step down.

He did not rush to attack, but waited and questioned the other scouts who had gone out to scout.

He's done so many bad things, yet he's survived for so long only because he's cautious and careful.

After receiving the same answer from everyone, Wu Zhen revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

He didn't care whether these people were refugees from the surrounding area. All Wu Zhen knew was that he had finally made progress in his pursuit of the traitor Wang Er.

Although Wang Er's head was not cut off, the cunning villain managed to escape, but the uprising forces he led suffered heavy losses.

Even if it's extremely painful, he'll have to spend some money to make amends for his mistakes. Even if he gets punished later, at least he can save his own life.

"Cavalry, charge with me! The rest of you, follow! Kill!"

Without further hesitation, Wu Zhen gave the order and led his army to attack Liu Family Village.

Soon, he saw the village the scouts had described. Just as the scouts had said, it was mostly inhabited by elderly people who were fleeing into the village.

Only a dozen or so fools with wooden swords stepped forward, trying to stop the chariot with their bare hands.

Do these guys really think they can hold off their own cavalry? What a foolish idea!

Wu Zhen smiled sarcastically.

However, to his surprise, even when he led his cavalry to charge the village, some of the villagers still dared to come forward!

Furthermore, Wu Zhen made a strange discovery: the villagers were mostly wearing straw hats and carrying white objects as they walked to the pits.

Wu Zhen sensed something was amiss, but now that the cavalry had begun their charge, he couldn't very well let them stop.

He shouted at the cavalry, "Speed ​​up! Those who block the way, kill them!"

They were getting closer and closer to the strange hat-wearing villagers, almost within a few steps.

At that moment, the villagers waved bone meal at the pit a few times.

In an instant, a huge red mushroom wall rose from the ground, completely blocking the cavalry's path.

Those cavalrymen had never seen such a scene before. They instinctively gripped the reins tightly, trying to slow their horses down so they wouldn't crash into the red mushroom-shaped wall.

The horses, already frightened, lost control and tilted to the side, causing the people on their backs to fall to the ground.

The powerful inertia threw the person on horseback off, and he groaned in pain after landing on the ground.

In that single moment, the entire cavalry force was wiped out.

Among them was Wu Zhen, but thanks to the protection of his armor, he only suffered minor injuries.

Logically speaking, this injury should not hinder Wu Zhen's activities at all.

But he got up in a panic, looking at the red wall with a bewildered expression.

This bizarre development, beyond his comprehension, left Wu Zhen somewhat stunned.

But the next moment, he immediately reacted and roared at the infantry behind him, "Quickly, those who don't want to die, get up and kill these traitors! Otherwise, if the court admits guilt, none of us will escape punishment! And for every one of them you kill, I'll give you double the reward!"

Wu Zhen didn't know whether the imperial court would blame these soldiers, but he knew that if these infantrymen didn't fight, he probably wouldn't be able to escape today!

"Kill them! Slay those traitors and take the reward!"

Humans are social beings after all. Under the instigation of Wu Zhen's confidants in the team, and seeing that the red mushroom wall had not harmed them, they were further emboldened.

Soon, some people couldn't suppress their greed and rushed forward.

Once one comes, another follows. More and more infantrymen stepped forward, hacking and slashing at the red mushroom.

As for Wu Zhen, he quietly huddled among the soldiers, ready to take off his armor and run away at any moment.

If the horses hadn't all collapsed and were unable to get up, he would have loved to mount a fast horse right now and leave this godforsaken place as quickly as possible.

But if I run away now, these infantrymen will definitely scatter, and it will be very obvious that those strange guys will catch me.

Then he probably won't be able to escape.

Only by waiting for these infantrymen to collapse on their own can Wuzhen blend into the crowd and see if he can escape.

"What's going on? Why is there an earthquake at this time?" Wu Zhen swallowed nervously.

He watched the mushroom wall being gradually abandoned, a strange premonition rising in his heart.

Once that wall is breached, what I will likely face is the thing I fear most.

Soon, the last mushroom wall was smashed open, and a white expanse appeared before their eyes.
