Chapter 223 Brother, I will repay you by becoming a woman in my next life
Han Zhuo was standing on a small platform at the moment, using his internal energy to speak, giving a speech word by word to the people in front of him, and chattering about some high-sounding words.
These words could naturally be ignored, but Han Zhuo emphasized the last sentence. He said, "This time, I will lead you to attack 50,000 bandits. I have no other requirements, only one military law, and you must all obey it!"
"That is, if anyone runs away out of fear, kill them!"
"Not only will you die as deserters, but your families will also be implicated!"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, looking at each other, not knowing what was in their minds.
At the same time, their faces were full of dejection, as if what they were about to face next was not a group of bandits, but evil spirits from hell!
Afterwards, Han Zhuo distributed weapons and armor to everyone and led them directly towards Liyang County.
On a small hill as far as the eye could see, Li Yuhao and Li Rongdun were sitting in a carriage.
Watching the group of people marching sparsely, scattered, and dejectedly, Li Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He said, "Grandpa, the Jinwu Guards of the Xuanyuan Kingdom are not even as good as a group of bandits. What a pity!"
Li Rongdun sneered when he heard this. He said, "Xuanyuan Country has long ceased to be a country!"
"Over the past few decades, several emperors have been inactive, pursuing mere pleasure. Meanwhile, numerous foreign powers have continuously infiltrated. Now, everyone from civil and military officials to rural gentry and landlords has become their henchmen!"
"Although Yang Pan'er is the emperor, the decrees she issues cannot even leave Kunwu City!"
Li Yuhao nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandpa, are all the people I asked you to arrange in advance ready?"
Li Rongdun stroked his long beard and said smugly, "Don't worry, son. I've already arranged for 200 elite assassins!"
"They will lurk around Han Zhuo! As soon as Han Zhuo arrives in Liyang County, when the two armies confront each other, these two hundred men will rush out and chop off Han Zhuo's neck at the foot of Liyang County!"
"Hahaha!"
……
It usually takes about three days to ride from Kunwu City to Liyang County.
The marching speed of Han Zhuo's team can only be described as a snail.
After walking for five days, we were still not even halfway there.
After entering the forest, Han Zhuo's team began to have deserters.
There were originally only about 8,000 people, but when they came out of the forest, only about 4,000 were left with Han Zhuo.
Half of the people escaped in the woods.
Most of these people fled one by one at night when Han Zhuo and his men were sleeping.
In order to facilitate their escape, they did not bring weapons or armor.
This added a large amount of armor and weapons to Han Zhuo's team's "baggage".
Although Han Zhuo had given these people a death order before the expedition, absolutely no deserters were allowed.
Otherwise their families will inevitably be implicated!
However, among these former Jinwu Guards who escaped, very few of them had families in Kunwu City, and most of them were bachelors.
As for why this is so?
Because they were originally from powerful and aristocratic families, they stuffed their servants and some illegitimate children and offspring from side branches into the family.
These people lied about their identities and were not afraid of being held accountable later.
And when they fled, they naturally fled back to their original families and forces!
As long as you hide at home for a while, you will be safe.
When the morning sun rose over the horizon, it once again cast its golden light on the grass.
Han Zhuo stretched lazily and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the people in front of him were in a mess, and each of them looked a little confused.
Now there are about four thousand people standing on the open grassland, looking at each other.
Finally, they all turned their gazes to Han Zhuo who walked out of the tent.
I thought Han Zhuo would be furious, but unexpectedly, he just yawned.
Then he took a face towel and went to the stream nearby to wash.
So many people were confused by Han Zhuo's actions.
There were more than 8,000 people when they set out, but when they just arrived at the territory of Liyang County, only half of them were left, while the enemy had 50,000 people. How should they fight this battle?
It's obvious that they are going to die!
Not long after, Han Zhuo walked over from the river with a smile on his face.
He looked at the people in front of him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Just pack up and continue on to Liyang County!"
"I still say the same thing. Anyone who deserts will be punished along with their entire clan!"
Everyone looked at each other and stood still.
At this moment, a dark-skinned middle-aged man stood up from the crowd. He cupped his fists towards Han Zhuo and said, "General, there are only 4,000 of us Dragon Sovereign soldiers left, while the enemy has 50,000!"
"If we rush over here, aren't we just going to die?"
After hearing this, Han Zhuo started to curse the man loudly, scolding him harshly!
At the same time, Han Zhuo also boasted that he was the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, with a brilliant mind! A mere 50,000 bandits, but they were easily defeated!
Then, he kicked the dark-faced middle-aged man hard and turned to go into his tent.
When Han Zhuo re-entered his tent, a tall and thin man walked up to the big, dark-faced man and helped him up from the ground.
The tall, thin man said to the dark-faced man in a thin voice, "Brother Zhang, is there something wrong with Han Erlang's brain?"
The dark-faced man named Lao Zhang said in a gloomy voice, "This Han Erlang is a complete idiot!"
"And he's unaware of it and is still gloating over it!"
The tall, thin man said in a low voice, "Our mission is to kill Han Erlang. Han Erlang will die sooner or later anyway, so why not do it now!"
"If we really get to the city of Liyang County and start fighting those bandits, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
Lao Zhang seemed a little hesitant. He said, "If we act now, I'm worried that these people around us will hinder us."
"What if they help Han Erlang?"
The tall, thin man sneered. "Don't you know who these people are? They don't even dare to escape. They're obviously bringing their families with them!"
"And I guess at this moment, they all wish Han Erlang dead!"
"As long as Han Erlang dies, they won't have to go to Liyang County to die!"
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "That makes sense!"
The two of them discussed it and finally gathered all their people together through various secret codes.
Then, under the backdrop of golden sunlight, they surrounded Han Zhuo's tent.
At this time, the remaining more than 4,000 people were standing in the distance, looking at each other, and pretending to be on the sidelines.
Old Zhang, holding a steel knife in his hand, looked at the tall and thin man, then walked step by step to the door of Han Zhuo's tent.
Then, Lao Zhang coughed twice and said to Han Zhuo, "General, it's getting late. We have to set off!"
However, in the tent, Han Zhuo did not respond.
Lao Zhang said a few more words: "General, we are about to set off."
"According to our plan, we must reach Liyang County today. If we don't set off now, it will be too late!"
There was still complete silence in the tent.
Lao Zhang and the tall and thin man looked at each other, then quickly rushed into the tent!
"kill!"
The two of them shouted together, but after they entered, they found that it was empty inside, without even a ghost!
Not long after they entered, screams came from outside the tent!
"what!"
"what!"
The two of them hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed out, but an arrow flew towards them with a "whoosh"!
The force was so swift that Lao Zhang had no time to dodge. He grabbed the tall and thin man next to him and used him as a shield to block the arrow!
"Pfft!"
The crossbow arrow pierced the tall and thin man's heart!
With trembling lips, he said to Lao Zhang: "You, you..."
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
"If there is an afterlife, I will be your shield!"
Lao Zhang threw the tall and thin man away. At this moment, his face changed drastically!
I saw that the group of useless people who looked like thugs just now were now as if possessed by ghosts, with sharp eyes and stern faces!
They all wore uniform armor and held weapons!
Moreover, Lao Zhang wondered if he was dazzled, as he felt that there were so many more people in front of him.
It looks like there are more than four thousand, at least eight thousand!
Moreover, Lao Zhang found that these people looked unfamiliar!
He felt like he didn't know anyone!
Moreover, their skin looked as dark as his own, as if it was caused by long-term farm work or exposure to the scorching sun.
These people looked ordinary in appearance, but they exuded a chilling aura from head to toe!
Old Zhang saw Han Zhuo riding a black horse. The horse was very tall and strong!
At the same time, a black Fang Tian Hua Ji was hung on the side of the saddle.
"The Divine Ghost Fang Tian Hua Ji!?"
Lao Zhang's pupils dilated instantly, and his face was full of disbelief!
