The bright full moon slowly entered the thick dark clouds.
The moment the moonlight dissipated, sharp lights flashed in front of the valley.
It was the cold light emitted by the Sui army's weapons.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking.
The Jiangdong Army subconsciously held their breath. They were waiting for the Sui Army to enter the valley.
The Sui army had already approached the entrance of the valley. The size of the 20,000-strong army was quite shocking. It was like a long dragon on the valley road.
Tu Wanxu stared at the exit of the valley in front of him. He was thinking that he would be able to reach Liyang County soon. At that time, he could quickly take down Liyang County, which could be considered a great merit.
His arrogance made him completely overlook one thing. This was a valley road. If the enemy ambushed him again, his 20,000-strong army would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Perhaps this was the difference between an ordinary general and a famous general. An ordinary general could not maintain vigilance for a long time, but a famous general could.
"Attack!"
When he saw Tu Wanxu's tail army enter the valley, Cao Yun immediately gave the order.
Rumble!
The Jiangdong Army pushed the rolling stones in front of them, and for a moment, there was a thunderous roar.
There were also many small stones rolling down from the mountain.
Whoosh.
Tu Wanxu's warhorse was startled, and it raised its hooves and neighed loudly.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!"
Tu Wanxu's expression changed drastically as he cried out in alarm.
In a flash, the rolling stones at the entrance had already fallen and were firmly betting on the entrance of the valley road.
With the entrance blocked, the Sui army could neither advance nor retreat, like a big turtle trapped in a cage.
Tu Wanxu looked up at the valley and saw a scene that terrified him.
Countless rolling stones fell, and the rolling stones continued to grow in his pupils. Moreover, there were quite a number of rolling stones.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently, followed by screams and desperate roars from the valley.
Some of the soldiers did not even have the chance to cry out in surprise before they were smashed into meat patties by the heavy boulders. The entire scene was too tragic to look at.
The blood-colored mist continued to spread out, and just the fall of the boulders caused considerable damage to Tu Wanxu's army.
"Kill them!"
After the rolling stones fell, Tu Wanxu and the others could still hear the rumbling sounds. Before they could recover, more and more soldiers came down from the mountains.
Their armors were as red as blood, and their eyes were like those of wild beasts with red eyes.
"Kill them!"
Tu Wanxu quickly reacted and gave the order to attack.
The previous heavy strike from the falling rocks had caused several thousand casualties to Tu Wanxu. Even if he wanted to counterattack, how could he face the enemy troops who had occupied a high vantage point?
"My lord, this person cannot be recruited. He is loyal to Great Sui.”
Fang Xuanling said.
Cao Yun naturally knew that Tu Wanxu was loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, so he had no intention of recruiting him from the beginning.
Buzz.
The Overlord Halberd in his hand continued to fight, and a domineering aura burst out from his body.
Tu Wanxu sensed the aura and turned to look at Cao Yun.
Just by looking at the pair of starry eyes, an infinite sense of fear arose in his heart.
"Die!"
" Kill!" Cao Yun roared angrily. He wielded the Overlord Halberd and charged at Tu Wanxu.
Even though Tu Wanxu was terrified, he had no choice but to face Cao Yun.
Cao Yun brandished the Overlord Halberd and leaped up from a high place. The Overlord Halberd brought with it the weight of a thousand pounds as it smashed down toward Tu Wanxu.
Tu Wanxu raised his spear, wanting to block Cao Yun's attack.
However, when the Overlord Halberd whistled like a hurricane, Tu Wanxu knew that this attack was definitely not something he could withstand.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out as Cao Yun swung his Overlord Halberd and shattered Tu Wanxu's spear. The Overlord Halberd's momentum did not slow down as it ruthlessly struck Tu Wanxu's head.
From Cao Yun's sudden attack to the fatal blow, there was not a single bit of nonsense in the entire process.
Tu Wanxu's head flew into the air, and blood splattered everywhere. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He would never have thought that this rebel general would have such superb martial arts. This was probably the last thought he had when he was alive.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief, one must first capture the king!
Tu Wanxu had died, and he had suffered heavy casualties. Countless enemies had rushed over, and the remaining ten thousand soldiers of the Sui army had lost all will to fight.
"We won't kill those who surrender!"
Cao Yun, who was holding the Overlord Halberd, stood among the tens of thousands of soldiers and shouted.
His voice resounded throughout the entire valley. After this shout, many Sui soldiers put down their weapons one after another.
The 20,000 Sui soldiers were first ambushed by the giant rocks and then chased by the Jiangdong Army. At this time, there were about 10,000 of them.
Surrender was their only choice in the face of heavy casualties and the death of their commander.
One or two Sui soldiers put down their weapons. The battle was over, and the Jiangdong Army won.
Fang Xuanling looked at his lord in surprise. He had not expected his lord to have such martial arts skills.
"My lord, the ambush has ended. I'm afraid the Sui army in Lujiang Prefecture doesn't know that their commander has died in battle.”
Fang Xuanling said to Cao Yun at the end of the battle.
"What do you mean?"
Cao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. He had basically guessed Fang Xuanling's plan.
"Since Tu Wanxu chose to circle around Liyang County and surround us instead, we might as well beat him at his own game and pretend to be Tu Wanxu's triumphant return to lure the remaining troops of Lujiang County out of the city to fight.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, looking rather refined.
Cao Yun thought to himself. They had also led 20,000 troops to Lujiang County. With their shouts, it was indeed possible to lure the rest of the Sui army out to fight.
After all, Hou Junji's act of twenty thousand soldiers had been very successful, so the remaining soldiers of the rebel army would not have thought anything of it.
As long as the slogan sounded, they would definitely open the city gates and fight.
At that time, taking down Lujiang County would be a piece of cake.
"This plan is feasible."
Cao Yun said in a deep voice.
He immediately ordered the recruitment of 10,000 Sui troops. With these 10,000 Sui troops, it would be easier for the plan to pretend to work together in Lujiang Prefecture.
He estimated that the sky was starting to brighten. If he counted the distance, it would be the same time as Tuwanxu's army arriving at Liyang County and returning to Lujiang County.
After making up their minds, the army quickly set off in the direction of Lujiang County. Along the way, the Jiangdong Army also made a certain disguise.
If nothing unexpected happened, the day the army arrived at Lujiang County would be the day Lujiang County fell!
