Han Xuan took a closer look.
The speaker was Yang Ling, the commander of Changsha Prefecture.
"Do you know how valiant Cao Yu was? In the Battle of Red Cliff, he captured four Jiangdong generals?”
Han Xuan reminded Yang Ling.
"Why does the prefect boost the morale of others and diminish his own prestige?" Yang Ling said with emotion.”
"I only need three thousand soldiers to repel Cao Yu's ten thousand soldiers.”
He requested again.
"If you can't win, I'm willing to obey your orders."
In front of everyone, Yang Ling made a military pledge.
"Very good," Han Xuan said happily,"Go early and come back early!"”
An hour later.
Three thousand soldiers followed behind Yang Ling and dashed out of the city.
After marching for eighty miles, Yang Ling saw a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Stop the army and set up camp here!"
Yang Ling ordered.
The soldiers scattered and set up camp.
After the camp was built, Yang Ling sent out 20 sentries to scout for information.
"This place is narrow. As long as we occupy it, even if he has thousands of troops, he won't be able to pass.”
Looking around the camp, Yang Ling nodded in satisfaction.
The next day.
A sentry reported that Cao Yu was about to arrive.
When Yang Ling heard this, he immediately mobilized his troops.
He told the crossbowmen to hide behind the fence of the camp and wait for instructions.
He also let the soldiers hide under the trenches of the camp and put down all the flags.
After everything was done, Yang Ling brought 500 people and ran out of the camp.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn.
On the mountain path ahead, the sound of marching could be heard.
Not long after.
At the corner of the mountain path, a group of soldiers rushed out.
The leader was riding a tall horse, wearing a mask and holding a halberd.
It was Cao Yu.
After seeing Yang Ling, Cao Yu ordered them to stop and form a formation.
In front of the two armies.
"Is the general Cao Yu?" Yang Ling shouted.”
It was said that the South County Mayor was a martial artist and always wore a mask. Judging from his attire, he should be Cao Yu.
"Since you know my name, why are you still resisting?”
Cao Yu frowned.
The general in front was holding a spear, so it was definitely not Huang Zhong or Wei Yan, because those two used sabers.
He was probably a lieutenant or some other general, so Cao Yu did not take him seriously.
At this moment, Yang Ling was furious.
"I'm Yang Ling, and I'm here to take your head!”
After saying this, Yang Ling raised his spear and galloped straight to Cao Yu.
Yang Ling's plan was to fight Cao Yu for ten rounds, then pretend to be no match and retreat into the stronghold.
If Cao Yu chased after them, they would be able to capture him alive if they surrounded him.
A great merit!
While he was thinking, Yang Ling approached Cao Yu.
"Die!"
Yang Ling raised his long spear high up, and after a series of spear attacks, he stabbed at Cao Yu.
Cao Yu shook his head.”
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear in Yang Ling's hand.
Yang Ling was very anxious and tried his best to pull the spear.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the weapon did not budge.
"You have such great strength!"
Shocked, Yang Ling gave up on fighting with brute force. Instead, he held the spear in his right hand and quickly pulled out the sword at his waist with his left hand.
He chopped at Cao Yu's left hand.
"Showing off in front of an expert!"
Cao Yu snorted coldly.
He exerted a little strength and pulled the spear.
As Yang Ling was still holding his weapon, he was dragged over.
Cao Yu moved like lightning and instantly grabbed Yang Ling's armor.
"Your camp is occupying my check-in spot, do you understand?”
Yang Ling could not understand his words.
Before Yang Ling could struggle.
Cao Yu raised Yang Ling up high and swung him down at the ground!
Boom!
Yang Ling's body crashed onto the ground.
With him as the center, the ground cracked and spread in all directions like a spider web.
As for Yang Ling himself, he was injured by this huge force and collision. His spine was broken and his ribs were shattered.
His eyes were wide open like a dead fish, and blood kept coming out of the corner of his mouth. His body was twitching.
It looked like he wouldn't be able to survive.
"In your next life, be an honest farmer.”
Cao Yu said.
In the next moment.
The Heaven Punisher's Defying Bead stabbed out at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye.
It accurately stabbed into Yang Ling's neck.
Crack!
It instantly cut off his head.
Blood splattered and dyed the ground red.
Cao Yu lifted Yang Ling's head and pinned it to his waist.
Then, he ordered the soldiers to charge and seize the stronghold.
When the Changsha County soldiers lying in ambush saw their commander's head fall to the ground and die on the spot, their minds were instantly thrown into chaos.
For a moment, he was like a headless fly, running around in all directions.
Cao Yu led his men into the stronghold and killed anyone who stood in his way!
Within the village, his figure moved back and forth.
"Surrender!"
After killing a portion of the people to intimidate them, the remaining defenders had long lost the will to resist.
They could only lay down their weapons and surrender.
Cao Yu quickly occupied the camp.
The middle of the village was the place where they had to sign in.
Cao Yu walked over.
A notification sounded in his mind.
The host has arrived at the check-in point.
Do you wish to sign in and receive your reward?
The reward this time is 6,000 Wudang Flying Corps.
The Wudang Flying Army was recruited from Nanzhong and Qingqiang. All members were tribal warriors. They were eager to fight and died in battle. They were invincible and called the Flying Army.
Cao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this familiar voice.
"Collect it immediately and place it five miles behind the stronghold.”
The Wudang Flying Army was good at field battles and mountain raids.
Cao Yu needed such a strong force to conquer the four counties of Jingnan.
As for the 8,000 soldiers he brought, they could be used to guard the stronghold and the city.
To attack a city and seize territory, one still had to rely on the Wudang Flying Army!
Ding! The reward has been received and placed. Please check it in time.
Cao Yu immediately flew out of the stronghold…
