On a sultry night, the wind suddenly started blowing in the second half of the night.
Dark clouds cover the moon, lightning flashes, and a heavy rain is coming...
Mucheng Valley is silent.
Diao Dou knocked weakly, and it was already the ugly hour. The lights at the entrance of Cao's camp were put out, and from a distance, only sparse lights could be seen. It rained so heavily that all Cao's soldiers hid in their tents, causing the military camp to
It looks very silent, with a hint of suffocating feeling...
Mucheng Valley is located thirty miles outside Longqi City.
It is better to say it is a canyon than a valley. Going west from here, passing through the canyon, the road is divided into two parts, one is writing valley, and the other is Linqiang. Speaking of which, it is also an extremely important pass in the west of Jincheng.
Cao Peng's troops and horses are stationed here!
There was rumbling thunder, and from time to time, silver snakes tore through the sky. The pale light flickered on and off, adding a bit of terror to Mucheng Valley. A bolt of lightning appeared, and in the light, groups of people with their faces smeared appeared outside Mucheng Valley.
Black mud, extremely scary-looking figures. The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, and it is so dark that it is difficult to count.
These people, braving the heavy rain, quietly approached Mucheng Valley.
The sound of rain and thunder covered up the sound of footsteps...
"Kill me!"
When these people approached Mucheng Valley, they heard someone suddenly roar.
In an instant, thousands of people shouted at the same time and rushed towards Cao Ying in Mucheng Valley. But there was no movement in Cao Ying!
A flood of sneak attackers rushed into Cao's camp.
From a distance, you can see that the lights in the Chinese army tent are brightly lit and there are figures moving around.
A man who looked like a leader rushed into the tent with a bright sword. Without seeing the situation clearly, he raised the sword and chopped down a Cao Jun who was near the door to the ground. The human skull fell to the ground, but there was no sound. He
He quickly lowered his head and looked, only to realize that it was actually a straw scarecrow.
No, I fell into a trap!
He quickly stepped forward and pushed down several generals of Cao's army who were still sitting in the tent wearing armor.
They are all scarecrows...
"You've fallen into a trap, let's go quickly."
He quickly rushed out of the tent and roared.
Click, followed by a thunderous explosion, drowning out his screams.
At this time, the rumble of war drums sounded from all directions. On both sides of the canyon, countless archers of Cao's army appeared, aiming at the uninvited guests in the camp, with a burst of crazy designs. The arrows roared in the sound of rain, mixed with rain.
, submerged into the bodies of those people... A series of shrill screams echoed over Mucheng Valley. The uninvited guests who discovered that they had been tricked immediately panicked, turned around and fled out of the camp gate.
But there is a saying that it is easier to get in than to get out.
Groups of white camel soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding long swords appeared outside the camp gate.
The leading general held an iron caltrop in his palm and let out a loud roar: "Kill no one alive, kill them all."
While he was talking, the white camel king under his crotch rushed into the crowd.
The caltrop bones made a muffled sound and swept towards them. A dozen uninvited guests raised their swords to greet them, but they heard a series of cracking sounds of weapons breaking. The caltrop bones brought with them a puff of blood mist, knocking those people over one after another.
land.
The heavily armored white camel king was like a tank, rushing through the crowd.
"A clown dares to steal a camp?"
The general shouted sternly: "My young master has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you stupid thieves to come and die..."
White camel, charge."
White camels followed the general and rushed into the camp. The swords were shining and blood was flowing everywhere!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the same time, inside Longqi City.
As the doors of the inns opened one after another, countless men in black walked out of the inns.
These people nodded to each other, then immediately dispersed and rushed towards the two gates of Longqi City.
On the way, a group of men in black met a group of people.
The leader was a man in black who was not too tall and slightly slender, with a black gauze covering his face.
After the two parties met, they didn't speak a word, just nodded and passed by.
The man in black, masked with black gauze and mask, went straight to the official post...
"Girl, it seems that the thief was not on guard."
Standing outside the official post, one could see two angry lanterns that had been knocked to the ground by the rain... The gate of the official post was closed tightly, and there were no soldiers guarding it around. The man in black stopped and observed for a while.
, then someone said: "Girl, let's take action... I guess Suwei, the King of Poaching Qiang, has already taken action."
"Well, do it!"
The leader of the men in black pulled out his sword and pointed towards Guanyi.
More than two hundred people immediately sprang out from the darkness and rushed towards the official post. They were seen moving nimbly and came to the wall of the official post, working in pairs. One of them was doing squats on horseback under the corner with his hands on his body.
In front of me, another man was walking as fast as he was flying. He stepped on his companion's hand, used the force to fly up into the air, and sat astride the wall.
Then, he pulled his companion up and they jumped into the courtyard wall at the same time.
After a while, I saw the gate of the official post opened, and two men in black were behind the door, waving to the outside.
The leader nodded, stepped forward with his sword in hand, and rushed into the official post.
"Where does the dog thief live?"
"It's right in the backyard... Most of his subordinates are gathered in the backyard. It's raining so hard. They might have gone to bed early."
"Come in and catch someone alive for me."
"But……"
"But what?"
"King Su said, it doesn't matter whether you live or die."
The leader's beautiful eyes widened and he shouted softly: "It's you who makes the decision, or I make the decision."
"Of course it's the girl who makes the decision."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Act quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a scream.
"What's wrong?"
The leader was startled and quickly ran forward.
After running a few steps, I heard the sound of a bowstring trembling. Zheng... followed by sharp arrows roaring through the air, the leader quickly jumped up to dodge, and then heard a scream from behind. A man in black turned over and fell into a pool of blood.
among.
A sharp arrow hit his temple and almost penetrated his entire head.
With the appearance of this sharp arrow, more than ten cold arrows were shot out from the darkness of the official post. These cold arrows were all fired. The men in black gathered in the courtyard and became obvious targets, one after another.
was shot.
"Bang room!"
The leader exclaimed and shouted quickly.
More than twenty men in black immediately took action and rushed toward the side rooms on both sides. A series of kicking sounds were heard, and the door was kicked open. Immediately afterwards, those people were heard shouting: "From behind
The window has escaped, chase!"
The companions rushed into the room quickly, but they let out a series of screams, followed by no sound at all.
The leader's heart trembled and he shouted loudly: "Light the fire!"
In a flash of fire, two or three corpses were seen lying in each wing.
There were sharp knives stuck on the ground. It seems that when they rushed into the house, they stepped on the knives, fell to the ground, and were immediately killed. The back window was wide open, raindrops were swept into the side room, and the wind was howling.
"be cheated!"
The leader was startled and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!"
But before the man in black could react, the gate of the official post suddenly closed with a bang.
On the walls and roofs, men in black appeared one after another, holding repeating crossbows, and they fired at the men in black in the yard. There was no place to hide in the yard, and steel arrows came like rain.
The man in black let out a series of shrill screams. The leader quickly dodged and hid behind a pillar, shouting loudly: "Hide quickly, find a place to hide."
But, how easy is it?
The man in black was shot like a headless fly in the courtyard. The lucky ones managed to save their lives by running into the corridor.
The leader did not know how many companions had died.
However, the wailing sounds coming from the courtyard made her feel particularly nervous.
"Bitch thief, I will fight with you!"
The wailing sounds in the courtyard constantly stimulated the nerves of the man in black.
After the opponent made one strike, he stopped shooting and disappeared without a trace. The thick smell of blood filled the yard, and a man in black finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out from behind the pillar, roaring.
Rushed into the yard.
A cold light like a crescent moon appeared. The body of the man in black was still running, but his head had fallen to the ground.
There was blood spurting out of his chest, and his body was still rushing forward.
That strange appearance made everyone feel inexplicable fear.
However, no one saw the enemy's traces appearing...
The huge official post turned into a hunting ground. All the men in black became each other's prey! It's ridiculous to think that the murderers will become the killed? The leader leaned against the pillar, sat down slowly, and closed his eyes.
Eye.
After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath and pulled off the black scarf on her face.
"Cao Peng, come out and kill me if you have the guts. Why do you do it secretly?"
She strode out of the porch, and behind her came the nervous shouts of her companions: "Girl, be careful..."
But this time, there was no movement.
Lightning and thunder, wind and rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the yard was silent.
The leader stood among the corpses, showing a beautiful and charming face.
The rain wet her clothes, outlining her graceful figure. But she didn't realize it, still holding the sword tightly in her hand.
"Mrs. Zhao, it is indeed you!"
After a while, a cold voice came from a side room.
Immediately after the door opened, Sun Shao and Deng Ai walked out holding torches.
Behind them, a young man slowly walked out, it was Cao Peng.
He was wearing a moon-white robe, with only a bag hanging on his waist, and he was unarmed. When Cao Peng appeared, a man in black who was hiding in the corridor suddenly jumped out, holding a steel knife, and rushed towards Cao Peng.
"careful!"
the leader shouted loudly.
But before she could finish her words, Cao Peng turned around and an iron meteor whizzed out, hitting the face of the man in black. The huge force directly dented the face of the man in black...
The man in black had blood all over his face and his eyes were squeezed out. He fell straight to the ground and died.
"I just want to know, can Zilong be involved in this matter?"
Cao Peng ignored the corpse and stared at the leader in the courtyard.
This leader turned out to be Zhao Yun's wife, Mrs. Zhao, who had a rather suspicious origin.
A look of guilt flashed across Madam Zhao's face, and then she said coldly: "Cao Peng, this is our personal grudge and has nothing to do with my husband."
"Personal matters?"
Cao Peng scratched his head and narrowed his eyes.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "Wang Shuang, do it."
A sharp whistle sounded, and a dark warrior was seen descending from the sky like a ghost. No one knew how they entered the corridor. Each of them had a crossbow and a short sword in their hands. The man in black was startled. , hurriedly stood up to greet them. But what greeted them was steel crossbows that came out of the bow string one after another.
The short blade is sharp and unpredictable.
Soon after the shouts of killing started, they calmed down.
"No, no..."
Lady Zhao shouted loudly, but how could the secret warriors obey her orders? These secret warriors were trained by Shi A and had been trained in Xingyang for more than three years. Compared with the secret warriors that Cao Peng brought to Jingzhou, , even more terrifying.
The men in black are also brave and strong soldiers, but they are completely unable to resist these ghostly and unreasonable dark warriors. In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred men in black were wiped out by the dark warriors...
These secret agents slowly walked out from under the porch and approached Mrs. Zhao.
"Put down your weapons, put down your weapons immediately."
Madam Zhao bit her red lips so hard that blood flowed out.
But she also knew that the situation was over...
Although there are accomplices outside Guanyi, since Cao Peng can set up an ambush here, he must be prepared.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Cao Peng, I just look at you, how long can I be proud of you?"
Cao Peng laughed!
“I have always been very proud, that was the case in the past, that is the case now, and that will always be the case in the future.
Madam Zhao is so sure, she thinks that the six thousand Qiang soldiers outside Mucheng Valley can be her support, right?"
"you……"
"Ms. Zhao, you underestimate Cao's ability.
Just as its name suggests, it is dilapidated... When I left Liangzhou, how could I not leave behind a back-up? Do you think I kept Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xing and others just to help my father stabilize the situation?
Let me tell you, Suweiyan is my person!
Don't you think about it, her father's tribe is under my rule, how dare she disobey my orders?
Haha, long before I came to Longqi City, I had secretly ordered the four towns in Hexi Pass to mobilize 6,000 troops and station them in Shuigu. As soon as Su Wei took action, I had already received the news... Presumably at this time, Su Wei Po Qiang has become a historical term and no longer exists. Next, Dou Mao, do you think you can do anything to me?
In the land of Hehuang, I have mobilized a hundred thousand troops.
After tonight, I will launch a general attack on Dou Mao... I know that he has 200,000 Di people under King Di's rule. But I don't believe that those 200,000 Di people will accompany him to death. I have given the order, Anyone who resists, regardless of male or female, young or old, will be killed. They have two hundred thousand Di people and can withstand several massacres by me. They are not afraid of killing one person, ten people, a hundred people, or a thousand people. .
But if ten thousand die, one hundred thousand...
I think the remaining 100,000 Di people still dare to oppose me again?"
Madam Zhao, looking at Cao Peng blankly, suddenly made a plop and sat slumped on the ground.
Cao Peng sneered, "Then next, I need Madam Zhao to clear up my doubts... Do you and I have any personal grudges?"
Madam Zhao suddenly raised her head and looked at Cao Peng, her eyes like eyes.
"Cao Peng, you killed my father and took away my home. You and I have an sworn hatred."
"Kill your father? Take your home?"
Cao Peng suddenly felt that Madam Zhao in front of him seemed familiar.
If the charm and maturity of a young woman fade away... He slapped his forehead, pointed at Madam Zhao and said, "Ma, Ma, Ma... you are Ma Teng's daughter."
He couldn't remember the other person's name, but the girl who looked like a little leopard in Guzang City appeared in his mind.
What's up with the horse?
"Ma Yunlu!"
Cao Peng finally remembered the other party's name, "You are Ma Teng's daughter."
Lady Zhao, however, had red eyes and glared at Cao Peng without saying a word.
"Take her down."
Several secret soldiers stepped forward and arrested Ma Yunlu.
Seemingly desperate, Ma Yunlu did not resist and allowed the secret men to tie her up with ropes.
"slow!"
Cao Peng suddenly said: "There is no need to tie her up. Put her in the woodshed and wait for Zilong to come back before dealing with her."
Ma Yunlu suddenly raised his head, looked at Cao Peng and shouted: "This matter has nothing to do with Zilong... He doesn't know my identity at all. Cao Peng, you want to kill or cut into pieces, it's up to you. But Zilong doesn't know about this." .”
"Are you worried about him now?"
Cao Peng smiled coldly, "Don't worry, it won't take long before you meet him."
Ma Yunlu struggled to rush forward, but was suppressed by the dark warrior.
"Zilong is innocent...he has no idea who I am.
If he was really involved, how could he rescue Wang Mai? Then Wang Mai fell into my trap. If it weren't for Zilong, he would definitely die."
Cao Peng was about to leave, but when he heard these words, he suddenly stopped.
"You...are Ma Rufeng?"
"That's right!" Ma Yunlu raised his head proudly and said loudly: "I am Ma Rufeng, and I almost killed Ma Rufeng, whom you bought from your sworn brother Wang. Cao Peng, if you have the ability, kill me? To avenge your brother."
Ma Yunlu, is Ma Rufeng?
This was a result that was beyond Cao Peng's expectation.
He stared straight at Ma Yunlu, but Ma Yunlu held his head high and looked at him without fear.
After a while, he sighed softly, "Miss Ma, your father and I are enemies of each other, and each is his own master... I killed him because he killed Hutou's father. It is reasonable for you to kill me." . But your mistake is that you involved Zilong in this grudge... Do you think that this matter can be settled by death? "
After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Cao Peng, kill me..."
"Wang Shuang, keep an eye on her!" Cao Peng's cold voice came, "If she loses a hair, I'm asking for you."
"Here!"
A sturdy young man walked out of the dark warriors.
He came to Ma Yunlu, looked at Ma Yunlu, and said coldly: "Miss Ma, have you heard everything?
I advise you not to have any stupid thoughts... If you die, General Zhao will be full of words and cannot explain clearly."
Ma Yunlu indeed had thoughts of seeking death.
But after hearing Wang Mai's words, he suddenly stopped struggling.
That's right, if she dies, Zhao Yun will be the real one, and it will no longer be clear...
The violent storm washed away the heat above Longqi City, replacing it with a hint of coolness.
The people living in Longqi City clearly felt the unusual atmosphere permeating the sky above Longqi City. As groups of soldiers rushed into the inns in the city, many people were tied up with ropes and pulled out.
Among these people, some were Qiang Di who came to Longqi City to do business, and some were innkeepers.
Of course, there are more unfamiliar faces...
An acquaintance wanted to go up and question the officer, but when he saw the usually friendly old acquaintance, his eyes widened, revealing murderous intent.
"Why are you asking?"
"Ah...just curious."
"Being too curious will kill you... Do your job and don't ask any more questions."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Those people were all dripping with cold sweat.
This is something big!
At noon, groups of Cao Jun soldiers and horses appeared outside the city.
He escorted countless Qiang and Di prisoners and stationed them directly under the city. Pang Tong took Samoko into the city to report back to Cao Peng. At the same time, he presented Su Wei's head to the bookcase in front of Cao Peng.
"Didn't I say that I want to live?"
Shamoko grimaced, "Sir, it's pitch black and it's raining so heavily. How can I know who Su Wei is? Anyway, if there's anyone who wants to take action, I'll go over and give him a try... This guy is quite good. In some impressions, he looked quite strong, but he couldn't catch my blow. But after I hit him, he ended up like this."
The head of Su Wei in the brocade box was covered in blood and flesh, and his brains had all drained out...
Cao Peng frowned and swept the brocade box off the desk.
"It's all smashed up like this, why did you bring it here?"
"The young master told me that if you want to see a person alive, you want to see a corpse after death... I thought the corpse was too troublesome, so I chopped off the head."
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly!
"That's all, let's hang this thing on the city gate and show it to the public... I just don't know if anyone can recognize it. He is the Qiang King Suwei."
Pang Tong couldn't help but laugh too, and waved his hand to signal the guards to come over and take away Su Wei's head.
"Master, are you going to attack Dou Mao next?"
Cao Peng rubbed his cheek vigorously, and his spirits improved a lot.
"Dou Mao must solve it, but before that, there is one more thing that must be solved...
By the way, how many prisoners were taken last night?"
"After counting, about a thousand people were killed, and more than 3,000 were captured. The rest escaped without a trace."
"Kill them all!"
Cao Peng waved his hand, looking at it lightly.
"Kill them all?"
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment.
Cao Peng sighed and said in a deep voice: "In the past, I made it clear that the Qiang Han family.
I consider myself to be extremely benevolent to these guys, giving them land, houses, and allowing them to live a good life. Even when they break the criminal law, I will give them some corresponding broadband and benefits.
I have good intentions, but some people think I am weak.
Since such good intentions cannot make them surrender honestly, then simply use iron and blood to let them figure out the situation. These guys are stubborn people, just like the Huns. Dogs can't change eating shit, so be kind today , they will come back to cause trouble again tomorrow when they regain some strength...
I don't have the energy to play this kind of game with them every day.
Tell Hehuang that I want Dou Mao's head... Those who obey me will live, and those who go against me will die! I won't see Dou Mao's head within ten days, which is when the horse will trample the river. By then, the corpse will be lying around. There are rivers of blood everywhere, so don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Here!"
Pang Tong heard this and immediately understood what Cao Peng meant.
Enough foreplay, now... it’s time to see who is more ferocious!
Simple kindness may not necessarily move these Qiang and Di people. It must be both soft and hard to achieve the goal.
Cao Peng sighed, "It's a pity that the choice of the Western Captain must be reconsidered!"
Pang Tong said nothing.
"By the way, where is Zhao Yunbu now?"
"Already on the way home...the soldiers and horses of Gongwei are secretly watching.
Su Ze led the army and captured the Poqiang camp... The Sulan family obeyed the prince's order and sent them back to Xiqiang without any difficulty. General Zhao's troops are expected to arrive at Longqi City at noon tomorrow at the latest
