"Damned fatuous ruler and corrupt officials, causing the people of all sides to be in dire straits."
A furious roar came from outside the tent.
Zhang Xutuo's expression changed. Not only had the rations behind been burned by the enemy, but the enemy had also broken into the camp.
How could this be?
"This group of traitors is really going to rebel!”
He shouted angrily, picked up a spear beside him, put on his helmet, and rushed out.
Qin Qiong and the others followed closely behind.
When he walked out of the tent, he saw that the rations behind him were on fire.
A group of rebel soldiers charged from left to right.
The morale of the Sui Army soldiers had been greatly reduced, and they had lost all order. They could only allow the rebel army to slaughter them.
"It's over!"
Zhang Xutuo sighed.
Originally, the strength of both sides was similar. The advantage of the Sui army was that the quality of the soldiers was higher.
However, because of the uprising army's momentum and the night attack, the Sui army's advantage was gone.
"Retreat, General!"
Qin Qiong sighed.
This was what Zhang Xutuo wanted.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Zhang Xutuo raised his arms and shouted.
The Sui army retreated from the front line after hearing this. There were only a few thousand soldiers left.
It could be said that the losses were heavy, and there was even a stampede on the way.
The army retreated quickly, following the back of the tent.
"Chase, kill these corrupt officials of the Sui Dynasty!”
Among the crowd of rebel soldiers, Lu Yueming, who was holding a large saber, was very eye-catching.
He sneered as he looked in the direction Zhang Xutuo had left. Once he killed this man, Zhu Ah County would become his base.
In the future, he could use this place to gradually conquer the entire region.
It was not a dream to develop into a local tyrant.
"I didn't expect this day to come for me."
As they were retreating, Zhang Xutuo's helmet fell off due to his haste, and his silver hair danced in the wind.
He was in an extremely sorry state, forming a sharp contrast with his usual dignified self.
"Kill them!"
Just as they retreated to the east of the tent, a series of shouts sounded again.
Zhang Xutuo felt a chill down his spine. He didn't expect the Revolutionary Army to have set up an ambush here and knew where Zhang Xutuo was retreating to.
"General, let's go south. We can take refuge in Black Rock City.”
Qin Qiong suggested.
From the light of the torches, it was impossible for an ambush to be set up on the road to Black Rock City.
"Sigh, that's the only way."
Zhang Xutuo sighed helplessly and followed Qin Qiong's suggestion.
The group of them headed straight for the small path in the east, heading in the direction of Black Rock City.
Seeing this, Lu Yueming wanted to pursue but was stopped by a person from the Revolutionary Army.
"My lord, we can't pursue them. That's the way to Black Stone City.”
The soldier said with a fearful expression.
"Why can't we chase them down when they're fleeing to Black Rock City?”
Lu Yueming snorted and asked.
"General, you don't know that there is a 1,000-man team stationed in the direction of Black Rock City. Moreover, their combat strength is extremely strong, and they can't be provoked.”
The Revolutionary Army soldier gulped.
"What a joke, I've already beaten Zhang Xutuo of the Sui Army to a pulp, so why would I be afraid of the people of Black Rock City?”
Lu Yueming cursed.
However, Zhang Xutuo and the others had already left safely.
"That old fogey will definitely head towards Black Rock City. Tomorrow, the army will attack Black Rock City.”
Lu Yueming said coldly.
The volunteer soldier didn't say anything, but Lu Yueming was curious.
These soldiers did not look like weaklings, and the size of the rebel army was estimated to be around 100,000.
Under such circumstances, what was it that made this soldier so afraid?
Lu Mingyue did not probe further. In short, even with the thousand soldiers of Black Stone City and Zhang Xutuo's defeated army, they were still no match for the Revolutionary Army.
What was there to fear?
"Withdraw the troops. After recuperating tomorrow, we will head in the direction of Black Rock City.”
Lu Yueming tightened the reins and changed the direction.
……
In Black Rock City, the night breeze blew.
Yang Hao sat alone on the drill ground, holding a strange jade pendant in his hand, deep in thought.
The jade pendant was completely transparent, and the five-clawed dragon carved on the front was lifelike.
Under the moonlight, the jade pendant emitted a faint fluorescent light.
This was a jade pendant that Yang Hao had owned since he was a child.
However, he knew that this jade pendant was extremely important. Before his adoptive father died, he had deliberately instructed him to take good care of the jade pendant.
"Could this jade pendant be related to my background?”
Yang Hao murmured.
Then, he changed the direction of the jade pendant in his hand. There was a dragon pattern on the front and a strange "Yang" character on the back.
He could only see this information from the jade pendant.
Whoosh.
At this moment, the neighing of warhorses and the sound of hooves came from afar.
Yang Hao suddenly put away the jade pendant in his hand. From the sound of hooves and the neighing of warhorses, it was not difficult to tell that an army had arrived at Black Rock City.
"Sneak attack?"
Yang Hao frowned slightly and quickly headed toward the city gate.
At the same time, Wang Meng and the others also woke up from their sleep and quickly gathered in front of the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw hundreds of soldiers holding halberds and nervously looking at the unfamiliar soldiers outside the city gate.
