The entrance to the village house!
Two volunteer soldiers were standing guard!
"I'm so sleepy. I've been on duty for the whole day. Old Liu, who was supposed to take over, actually went to drink with Chief!”A bearded volunteer soldier stretched and said angrily.
A short volunteer soldier beside him chuckled and said,""That's really too good for him. However, I heard that we cheated the imperial court today. The carriage we saw today was filled with gold!”
As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer. He even looked around. His mysterious appearance made the bearded man even more curious." What's going on?"”
The short rebel soldier kept him in suspense. He looked at the bearded man proudly." This is an important secret. Ordinary people can't know!”
The bearded man glared at him and pushed him. He snorted and said,"Come on, you're still pretending to be like this with me.”
The bearded man's strength was so great that the short rebel soldier staggered. As if he had tripped over something, he fell to the ground with a muffled groan and did not move.
"What are you pretending for? You'll die if I push you!”
The bearded man was a little impatient and pulled him up from the ground. The short man's eyes were wide open and there was a dagger stuck in his throat. He was already dead!
"My mother…"
The bearded man was so frightened that he pushed the corpse away and sat on the ground. Just as he was about to cry out in horror, a sharp blade flew over from the dark!
Whoosh!
It was the same dagger again, and it accurately stabbed into the bearded man's throat. The bearded man's eyes were wide and round, and he could not make a sound. He fell to the ground and died.
Ta Ta Ta…
A black shadow walked out from the dark and kicked the two corpses. He turned around and said,"The young prince is already dead!"
Wang Baobao was dressed in black as he walked out of the forest. Behind him was a dark mass of soldiers and generals that he had brought with him.
He looked coldly at the small village not far away and ordered the goshawk beside him,"Split into ten teams and surround the entire village. Kill those who resist. Don't give Wu Sheng any chance to counterattack!”
"Yes, sir!"
The group moved quickly. Countless black shadows passed through the dense bamboo forest and shuttled between the villages.
......
Dong dong dong!
Someone knocked on the door.
"It's so late. Who is it?"
There was a commotion from inside. A volunteer soldier opened the door. Before he could see who was in front of him, a cold light flashed and he died in an instant. Someone inside asked," What's going on? Open the door and slowly swallow…"
Before he could finish speaking, a few black figures appeared in front of him. Before they could react, the goshawk and the soldiers behind him raised their knives and slashed down. Four or five heads had already rolled to the ground.
The goshawk glanced at the corpses in the room and said coldly,""Let's go!"
In the village, sounds came from every house. Many people heard the noise and ran out. They were shocked to see the tragic scene in front of them!
Countless soldiers of the imperial court rushed out of nowhere and mercilessly slashed at the rebel army with their long sabers. Blood splattered everywhere!
"What's going on?"
"Ah! No!"
"It's the Yuan Imperial Court who has brought troops to launch a sneak attack!”
"Help, ah…"
Without Wu Sheng's command, the Revolutionary Army was completely scattered. Coupled with Wang Baobao's surprise attack, they were completely unprepared. In a moment of desperation, they could only flee in all directions.
However, they were completely surrounded by Wang Baobao's men. It was impossible for them to escape!
Slaughter! Fresh blood!
It swept through the entire village. Many of the rebel soldiers did not even have the time to pick up their weapons before they were killed by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers.
The massacre continued!
Wang Baobao stood outside the crowd and watched the originally quiet village turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His expression did not change. His sharp eyes scanned the crowd, searching for Wu Sheng.
"Don't let any of them escape. Find Wu Sheng and Lu Qingshan for me!”Wang Baobao's voice carried a hint of hostility as he looked at his subordinates and instructed in a deep voice.
"Yes, Young Prince!"
......
Two hours later!
The night was silent and dark clouds covered the moon!
In just two hours, Wang Baobao had already slaughtered all five thousand soldiers in the village!
Countless corpses were lying on the ground, piled up into small mountains. The night wind blew, and the smell of blood assaulted their faces.
In the end, in the entire village, other than a few deputy generals, there was not a single survivor!
Wang Baobao glanced at the pale-faced Deputy General Zhang. This person was Wu Sheng's right-hand man. Previously, he had led the few clashes with the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, including the transportation of gold. Wang Baobao naturally recognized him.
At this moment, Deputy General Zhang was completely dumbfounded. The accident had happened too suddenly. Even now, he could not believe everything that had happened before his eyes.
Originally, they had returned triumphantly with 30,000 gold taels. In just one night, over 5,000 of their Revolutionary Army had been massacred by Wang Baobao!
If the leader came back and found out, they would definitely not survive!
Wang Baobao looked at Deputy General Zhang and suddenly raised his hand. A long sword was placed on his neck.
"Where is Wu Sheng?" he asked in a deep voice.”
Deputy General Zhang swallowed his saliva and looked terrified." Don't, don't kill me…"
Wang Baobao laughed coldly. The sword in his hand moved closer to his throat. The blade pierced into his flesh, and bright red blood seeped out. He asked again,"Where is Wu Sheng?"
Deputy General Zhang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. He quickly replied,"The marshal isn't here. He left with his men in the evening!”
Hmm?
Wang Baobao frowned and looked at Deputy General Zhang's expression. He didn't seem to be lying, so he continued to ask,"Where did he go?"
"No, I'm not. He didn't know, but in the evening, another group of rebel soldiers came to look for the marshal. There was someone called Huang Qiliang among them who said that he had something to discuss with the marshal, so the marshal left with his 3,000 brothers!”
Huang Qiliang?
Wang Baobao's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this person. In the information he had received previously, this name had been mentioned. He was a strategist under Zhang Shicheng!
Why was he here?
Wang Baobao's heart sank slightly. He vaguely guessed that since Huang Qiliang had appeared here, Zhang Shicheng must have come to Cangzhou City!
Did they invite Wu Sheng over to recruit the Mountain Forest Army?
Thinking of this, Wang Baobao's expression darkened.
If that was the case, then the situation had already begun and was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the Imperial Court.
Originally, he had come to Cangzhou to deal with the eight rebel armies in Cangzhou City. As a result, he only had 50,000 imperial court soldiers under him.
However, according to the information he had received, Zhang Shicheng had at least 200,000 men under his command. Now that he had come to Cangzhou, he could not fight against Zhang Shicheng with his current strength. Even if he launched a sneak attack, he would not be able to gain any benefits from such a huge difference in strength.
After Wang Baobao thought about it, he made up his mind. He looked at Deputy General Zhang and continued to ask," Where is the 30,000 gold taels?”
"Yes, yes..."
Wang Baobao looked at Deputy General Zhang's stuttering appearance and narrowed his eyes. He raised his hand and a cold light flashed!
"Ah!"
Deputy General Zhang covered his broken arm and screamed. He never expected Wang Baobao to cut off one of his hands!
"Death is never the most painful thing. If you continue to stutter, I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead!”
Wang Baobao looked at Deputy General Zhang, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and there was no pity in his expression. He raised his leg and stepped on his broken hand." Speak! Where is the gold?"
"I'll talk, I'll talk! In the cellar in the front room!" Deputy General Zhang didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He endured the pain and said loudly.
Wang Baobao glanced at Goshawk, who immediately led his men into the house in front. After a while, he carried a few large chests out. He opened them and saw that all 30,000 gold taels were inside.
"Young Prince, all the gold is here!”
Wang Baobao nodded and looked coldly at Deputy General Zhang, who was covered in cold sweat." Since you're still honest, I'll give you a quick death!"”
Puchi!
Wang Baobao raised his hand and waved. Blood flashed and Deputy General Zhang's head rolled to the ground. His terrified expression was fixed on his ferocious face.
When the deputies saw this scene, they were so scared that they did not dare to breathe. The goshawk stepped forward and said emotionlessly," Young Prince, what should we do with these people?”
Wang Baobao glanced at it and said casually,"Kill them!"
"Yes, sir!"
The goshawk replied. He turned around and a few light shadows flashed, killing the few deputy generals.
Looking at the village that was filled with the smell of corpses, Wang Baobao smiled coldly and waved his hand."Let's go!"
Although he didn't kill Wu Sheng this time, he had taken back the 30,000 gold taels and wiped out Wu Sheng's 5,000 rebel soldiers. He had made a worthwhile trip!
By the time Wang Baobao returned to the Imperial Residence with 10,000 soldiers, the scouts he had sent out had already been waiting for him in the hall for a long time!
"Little Prince!"
When the spy saw Wang Baobao return, he hurriedly went forward and knelt on one knee to greet him.
Wang Baobao walked to the hall and sat down. He looked at the scout and nodded." Why? Did you find anything?”
"Young Lord, we recently discovered that other than the Mountain Forest Army in Cangzhou City, there are also a few other rebel armies that have entered Cangzhou City!" The scout said in a low voice.”
Wang Baobao's eyes flashed, and he had a bad feeling." Tell me in detail!”
"At present, we have already found out that Zhang Shicheng, Liu Futong, Guo Zixing, and Fang Guozhen's forces have arrived in Cangzhou City. It seems that they have the intention of annexing the eight rebel armies in Cangzhou City. They have invited the leaders of the eight rebel armies…"
Wang Baobao frowned when he heard that.
Just as he had expected, these rebel armies had already begun to take action. Now, Cangzhou had gathered all kinds of forces, and the situation would become more and more troublesome. This was no longer something he could control.
Thinking of this, Wang Baobao did not hesitate and immediately ordered,"Men, prepare brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
"Yes, sir!"
Now that things had come to this, he could only send a letter to Ruyang Mansion and ask his uncle, Prince Ruyang, for instructions. If he could send more troops to help him, he was confident that Zhang Shicheng and the others would not be able to return!
