In the afternoon, after Xue Antian and the others had prepared their rations and reorganized their troops, Qin Shuang personally led 500 soldiers and swaggered out of Liang City.
At the same time that Qin Shuang and the others left Liang City, Xue Antian secretly sent out a group of soldiers in disguise to mingle with the commoners according to Qin Shuang's arrangements. He also spread the news,""I heard that the Golden Blade Stockade a hundred miles away from Liang City was killing the commoners wantonly. Hence, Qin Shuang's City Lord Feng Xiong personally led his soldiers to eliminate the bandits.”
The speaker was not serious, but the listener was serious.
There were two reasons why Qin Shuang did this: Firstly, he would use this opportunity to promote Xiong Ba and himself. Second, he intentionally told the spy Liu Jindao sent to Liang City.
Liu Jindao wanted to avenge his sworn brother, Chu Xiong. However, due to the strength of the World Association and the pressure of Xiongba Tiger, Liu Jindao did not dare to confront the World Association head-on. He could only think of a way to lure Qin Shuang out of Liang City and then ambush or kill her along the way.
This was Qin Shuang's guess, but she was 80% sure.
Not long after Qin Shuang and the others left Liang City, a few people who were disguised as martial artists gathered together.
In a dilapidated house.
"Brother Wang, Qin Shuang has already left Liang City with 500 soldiers.”
"Are Xue Antian and the others by his side?”
"Brother Wang, Xue Antian is still guarding Liang City. Qin Shuang only has a little handmaiden by her side. There are no martial arts experts in the pugilistic world.”
"Haha, this is truly a heaven-sent opportunity. This time, Qin Shuang was too careless. He immediately sent a messenger pigeon to inform the tiger king to prepare his defenses in advance and strive to chop off Qin Shuang's head in one fell swoop to pay tribute to the soul of City Lord Chu.”
After leaving Liang City, Qin Shuang did not advance at full speed. Instead, she advanced at a fixed speed.
Xue Antian had not been idle during his time in Liang City. According to the training plan that Qin Shuang had personally drafted, Xue Antian personally led the guards to train their bodies, practice the array formation, and familiarize themselves with the battle strategy and plan.
What was worth mentioning was that Qin Shuang had specially created an elite troop.
There were five hundred elite soldiers, and every one of them knew martial arts. Qin Shuang had specially trained them according to the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun and the black-armored warriors in her memory.
In terms of equipment, each member of this elite troop was equipped with two fast horses. The fast horses were wearing armor, and the members were fully armed. They were dressed in cold iron armor, with a large sword at their waist and a bow. Some of them carried a big bow, while others held a long bow.| There were also people using chains and caltrop nets to coordinate with each other.
When Qin Shuang proposed to form this elite troop, Xue Antian understood the equipment and array formation."With such equipment and equipment, coupled with repeated practice, even an ordinary first or second-rate expert would have to cry and beg for mercy.”
Qin Shuang named this elite troop the Liang City Cavalry.
The Liang City Cavalry were mainly heavy cavalry, charging and breaking through formations, and supported by formations such as caltrop nets.
During this period of time, Xue Antian would personally lead this team to simulate various combat environments for practice every day, while Qin Shuang would also assess and patrol from time to time.
During this period, if there were any careless people, Qin Shuang would definitely chase them away without hesitation.
Of course, Qin Shuang had also provided all the men in Liang City with the salary and treatment they deserved.
In terms of food, under the premise that the military abstained from alcohol, there was fish and meat in every meal.
In terms of service and treatment, those who could join the Iron Cavalry of Liang received three times the salary of ordinary soldiers. Their families and children could also enjoy many privileges, such as exemption from all taxes, or the right to be responsible for the care of the old, the weak, and the young.
As Qin Shuang's promises were fulfilled, the people who joined the Liang City's Steel Cavalry were all dutiful and responsible.
Up until now, the combat strength of this elite troop was definitely not weaker than thousands of soldiers.
This was also the reason why Qin Shuang dared to personally lead the troops out.
……
After nightfall, Qin Shuang and the others set up camp in an open area.
At the same time, the messenger pigeon sent by Liu Jindao's subordinate in Liang City had also successfully arrived at Golden Blade Stockade.
Tiger King Mountain, Liu Jindao's village.
"Tiger King, according to our scouts, Qin Shuang has personally led 500 soldiers out of Liang City and is currently on the way to our Golden Blade Stockade. Firstly, Qin Shuang is not with Xue Antian. Secondly, there are no martial arts experts around her. Thirdly, Liang City has not prepared any reinforcements…"
One of his subordinates read the letter sent by the scout loudly.
As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, Liu Jindao, who was sitting in the main seat, roared and laughed crazily,"Haha, haha…Qin Shuang, oh Qin Shuang, I thought you were so capable, but now it seems like you're just a little brat who hasn't even grown a single hair. Humph, you slandered my sworn brother and killed my nephew. Today, I, Liu Jindao, swear to the heavens that if I don't take your head, I, Liu Jindao, will not be a human!”
At this point, Liu Jindao sat up, waved his hand, and ordered loudly,""Someone come…"
"Tiger King, please wait…"
"Hmm? What else do you have to say?"
"Tiger King, our Golden Blade Stockade is famous for its steep mountains. Although we have sufficient people in the stockade, most of them are weak. If we rashly confront Qin Shuang head-on, I'm afraid the gains will not make up for the losses.”
The person who spoke was called Cao Jin, Liu Jindao's dog-headed military advisor. The strategy to lure Qin Shuang into sending troops this time was also done by him alone.
"Kobold Gold, what do you think I should do?”
"Tiger King, isn't Qin Shuang leading troops to attack our Golden Blade Stockade? If that's the case, why not let him rush to Tiger King Mountain and then lead his troops to attack us? We'll take advantage of the natural barrier to kill him first. When he runs away in a sorry state, we'll take advantage of the situation to track him down and kill him in one fell swoop.”
"Haha, Kobold's Gold, your grandson is really sinister. But I like it. Alright, we'll do as you say. After I chop off Qin Shuang's head, I'll lead these thousand men to roam the martial world.”
Liu Jindao had even prepared a backup plan. However, he did not expect that he would not only provoke a kid but also a real tiger.
A day passed.
The next night, after nightfall, Qin Shuang and her group arrived at the foot of the Tiger King Mountain.
The Tiger King Mountain was a lone mountain. It was not connected to any other mountain ranges. The mountain was surrounded by craggy rocks. On three sides, there were cliffs that were hundreds of feet high. There was only one winding path leading up the mountain.
Qin Shuang did not set up camp at the foot of the Tiger King Mountain. Instead, she split up the Liang City cavalry into small teams and hid in the forest near the Tiger King Mountain.
Bit by bit, the night gradually darkened.
On a patch of grass, Qin Shuang was resting on Ji Ruxue's head with a carefree expression.| He looked at the vast starry sky.
Seeing Qin Shuang like this, Ji Ruxue could not help but ask,""Aren't you afraid that Zhanpeng will fail? What if he was captured by Liu Jindao and then turned around to bite you?”
"It's not a matter of having a shadow."
"So confident?"
"This isn't confidence, but rather, not using the person you suspect. Although Zhanpeng's martial strength was weaker, he had ambition in his heart. During this period of time as a lieutenant of the central army, he had done his duty every day. This was not an act, but he wanted to work hard to grasp everything.”
"Then, then how did you know that Zhanpeng would make a move tonight? One had to know that the night was not suitable for large-scale battles. Although Liu Jindao's side would also be hindered by the night, they had many people. If a beehive swarmed down, one would also lose soldiers.”
"Surround him but don't fight. I will take Liu Jindao's head without losing a single soldier.”
"What do you mean?"
"Xue 'er, kiss me and I'll tell you.”
In an instant, Qin Shuang was actually not serious.
Seeing Qin Shuang suddenly sit up and put one hand on her arm, Ji Ruxue, who was used to treating people coldly, actually felt a little nervous.
"Xue 'er, you're so beautiful. You're as beautiful as a lotus, but there's a hint of frost in your eyes. If you open your heart and smile more, I think the Moon Goddess will hide in the clouds because of you.”
"Lecher…"
"Haha, this is called being flirtatious. This is my nature.”
As Qin Shuang spoke, flames suddenly rose to the sky on Tiger King Mountain.
The flames burned brighter and brighter. Under the faint night breeze, there were a few spots at first, but in an instant, they were all over the place.
"Burning down the Golden Blade Stockade, turning the evening wind into the east wind. I think he's going to die tonight…"
Upon hearing Qin Shuang's extremely untidy soy sauce poem, Ji Ruxue not only did not have any disdain in her heart, but she also seemed to understand."So he deduced from the night breeze that Zhanpeng would set the Golden Blade Stockade on fire tonight. With such a fire spreading, the people of the Golden Blade Stockade must have fled in a hurry. The mountain path is winding, and when they reach the foot of the mountain, the Liang City cavalry, who have long been prepared, can take the opportunity to capture and kill them.”
In the Golden Saber Stronghold of Tiger King Mountain.
"What? "It's on fire. Everyone, hurry up and escape…" A subordinate who was traveling with Zhanpeng shouted.
"What? "Something bad has happened. Liang City's army is attacking the mountain. Run for your lives…" Another person added fuel to the fire.
In an instant, one could only hear,"Peng, peng peng…"
"Kill, kill…"
The sounds of killing mixed with the clashing of weapons filled the air. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the entire Golden Blade Stockade was in a complete mess. Everyone only cared about their own lives. Many of them hurriedly ran for their lives in thin pajamas.
