"My plan is perfect, but Zhou Hou's plan is even more perfect. Now, he is able to distinguish between gratitude and hatred, a true hero of the world.”
At this moment, Dou Xianniang could not help but sigh in her heart.
He was strong in martial arts and was also quite righteous. How many people could do this in a chaotic world?
"Take him away."
Lin Changye glanced at Dou Xianniang and waved his hand.
"Yes."
Immediately, a few Zhou soldiers stepped forward and gestured for Dou Xianniang to walk in front.
"Cunxiao, order a few Flying Tiger Cavalrymen to wear the armor of the Xia army and head to Xindu City to lure the rest of the troops to Zaoqiang.”
Lin Changye narrowed his eyes slightly and issued an order.
The 10,000 cavalrymen had been dealt with, and there were still 10,000 infantrymen in Xindu Prefecture. They could use a trick to lure him out and then completely conquer the entire Xindu Prefecture.
"Zhou Hou!"
Li Cunxiao was also a quick-witted person. When he heard Zhou Hou's order, he immediately understood the intention of the plan.
"The few of you, immediately put on the armor of the Xia army and head to Xindu City overnight.”
Li Cunxiao shouted.
“窸窸窣窣...”
Following a series of sounds, several Flying Tiger Cavalry immediately put on their armor.
"Rumble…"
Along with the sound of horse hooves, the army quickly headed in the direction of Xindu Prefecture.
" Head to the ambush area."
Lin Changye narrowed his eyes slightly. He led the remaining troops to set up an ambush in Zaoqiang. It would not take long for them to reach Xindu City from here.
"We have specially come to convey General Dou's orders. We want you to quickly head to Zaoqiang and help General Dou surround and kill the Zhou army!”
On the same day, the cavalry arrived at the city gates of Xin Capital and shouted at the generals who were guarding the city walls.
"Go and kill the Zhou army?"
General Li Wanqu, who stayed behind, did not suspect anything. He only left 3,000 soldiers and gathered 70,000 infantry to leave the city for Zaoqiang.
"As expected, we don't have enough troops to destroy the Zhou army.”
While they were marching, Li Wanqu thought to himself. General Dou had only brought 10,000 cavalrymen, while the Zhou army had 20,000 soldiers. Even if the ambush was successful, it would be difficult to wipe them out.
Therefore, it was reasonable that they needed a portion of their forces to destroy the Zhou army.
Only then would General Dou's plan be complete.
"Speed up, go…"
Because of the urgency, they almost rushed to reach Zaoqiang as soon as possible.
When they arrived at Zaoqiang, they did not find any signs of battle.
"Strange, why can't I see the general and the Zhou army?”
Seeing this, Li Wanqu was puzzled.
"Kill them!"
All of a sudden, the sounds of battle rang out from all directions as the Zhou army charged out from nearby.
The Flying Tiger Cavalry was at the front, and the rest of the Flying Tiger Infantry were in all directions. The Flying Tiger Cavalry, who were wearing the armor of the Xia army, also quickly took off their armor, revealing the tiger-patterned armor that only belonged to them.
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap!"
Li Wanqu exclaimed.
However, it was already too late to react now.
The rapid march itself lacked stamina. In addition to the fact that the Zhou army had ambushed and occupied the terrain, the Xia army was almost like wheat being harvested, falling in groups.
"Break out of the encirclement with me!"
Li Wanqu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he wanted to gather his forces to break out of the encirclement.
"Die!"
Li Cunxiao drew his bow from the army, and the arrows brought about the sound of wind as they killed Li Wanqu on the spot.
With the death of Li Wanqu, the battle had come to an end.
Out of the 7,000 Xia soldiers, 2,000 were killed in this battle. The remaining 5,000 were either captured or surrendered.
Due to the huge reduction in the number of soldiers in Xindu Prefecture, the Zhou army quickly conquered Zaoqiang, Nangong, and other cities.
Xindu Prefecture was completely conquered by the Zhou army.
“......”
Meanwhile, in Qinghe City, Qinghe County, the news of the Zhou army's large-scale expedition soon reached this place.
Ge Cai and Ge Qian gathered in the hall, frowning deeply.
"With the formation of the Zhou army, I'm afraid they've mobilized quite a number of troops.”
Ge Cai frowned.
"That's true. Who knows if this Zhou Jun did it on purpose?”
Ge Qian nodded and retorted.
This was also the reason why Qinghe County hadn't made any unusual movements until now.
Moreover, the Zhou army had taken down two counties in a row. From this, it was not difficult to see how strong they were.
The two brothers on the plane were afraid that there was a trap, so they did not dare to make any strange movements.
"Report!"
Just as the two cousins could not hold it in any longer and were about to decide whether to send troops or not, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
Then, he saw a scout from the Qing He Army rushing in.
"What is it?"
Gurney stood up and asked.
"Reporting to my lord, the main force of the Zhou army has arrived at Xindu Prefecture and has already fought with the Xia army.”
the scout replied.
"Is that true?"
Hearing this, Ge Qian was secretly delighted and asked for confirmation.
"This subordinate's words are naturally true. If there is any falsehood, you can punish me as you wish, my lord!”
The scout said firmly.
"Since that's the case, the Zhou army's main force has been sent out, and the rest are just some new recruits. This is a rare opportunity!”
Gecai waved his hand to dismiss the scout. Then, his eyes lit up as he said to his cousin.
"Cousin, if that's the case, why are we still hesitating? The Pingyuan County is now open and waiting to welcome us!”
Ge Qian laughed.
"Since that's the case, we'll lead the army straight to Pingyuan County and take their lives while the Zhou army is lacking in strength!”
Gurcai stroked his goatee and revealed a sinister smile.
The Zhou army had been eyeing them from behind for a long time. It was time to get rid of them.
There were hungry wolves in front and fierce tigers behind. They would not feel so bad if they dealt with one first.
Since the tiger had revealed its weakness, he would naturally deal with the tiger behind him first.
What they didn't know was that the tiger was just pretending to sleep. It had already sharpened its fangs and was waiting to stretch its neck over.
"Pass down my order. Have the 20,000 soldiers gather and prepare to march into Pingyuan County!”
Gecai waved his hand and gave the order.
Qinghe County had a total of 30,000 troops, and now they had dispatched 20,000 troops. It was obvious how much Ge Cai valued this opportunity.
"Yes, sir!"
Geqian was overjoyed. After receiving the order, he quickly retreated from the hall.
"Ta…Step..."
Geqian personally gathered the army, and the sound of military boots being stomped could be heard without end. In less than a moment, the 20,000-strong army had gathered.
The two cousins were wearing armor as they inspected the army at the city gate.
"Soldiers, follow me to Pingyuan County and destroy this tiger, the Zhou army!”
Gecai raised his arm high and shouted.
"Yes, my lord."
The 20,000 soldiers shouted in unison.
"Send troops…"
Gurney nodded in satisfaction and gave the order to start marching.
Geqian sat on the horse's back and stroked his beard. He could not help but think about the scene of him charging into Pingyuan County.
As if she had thought of something good, or more accurately, a woman, she even let out two strange laughs.
