Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

The ambushers, who were originally dressed in black, became prey.

They fell to the ground in a heap.

The crossbow arrows shot from the composite bows directly penetrated their bodies, and their flesh could not withstand the crossbow arrows shot from the composite crossbows at all.

The remaining one hundred or so ambush soldiers were trembling in fear.

They saw it with their own eyes, watching the ambushers who tried to escape being shot into pieces before they could take even a few steps.

Those who run away and those who lie down will both die. Only those who lie down will survive with a small chance.

"Stop shooting!"

The two thousand crossbowmen led by Hongxuan stopped shooting.

"Fan Jingtao orders your First Legion soldiers to clean up the battlefield and retrieve all the crossbows!"

"It's the King of Zhenbei!"

"Qilin Guards! Gather all the ambushers. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

"As you command! Your Majesty!"

The battlefield was cleared in a short while, and nearly four thousand enemies were killed.

Only one hundred and thirty-six survived.

These 136 people were gathered together.

The Qilin Guards held their crossbows in their hands and aimed at the ambushers.

King Zhenbei said to the ambushers, "Who sent you to ambush?"

"I will only give you three breaths of time. If you don't answer, you will die under the arrows."

The ambushers became panic-stricken.

Their courage has been frightened out of them.

"Your Majesty, please spare us! Your Majesty, please spare us! We are the troops of General Cao Wenxiu of Dingguo! Your Majesty, please spare us!"

"Your Majesty, please spare us. We are also following the orders of General Cao Wenxiu! Many soldiers did not obey before and were all killed. We were also forced to do this!"

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty, and spare us."

Hong Xuan's eyes narrowed. That's right! They were just the lowest-ranking soldiers. They had no ability to choose what to do. If they resisted, the end would be death.

Hongxuan spoke as he looked at the surviving ambush troops.

"I'm asking if there are any ambushes ahead!"

A soldier whose thigh was pierced by a crossbow replied, "Reporting to the King of Zhenbei! Four thousand troops are the maximum force that the border defense army can muster."

"Before we set out, General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu sent his confidant to tell us that King Zhengbei only has a thousand troops, and we have four thousand border guards, which is more than enough for an ambush!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Hongxuan smiled and said

All Qilin Guards obey orders

"Shoot all of these more than one hundred ambushers!"

As soon as the King of Zhenbei finished speaking, all the Qilin Guards aimed at the ambush troops and shot them directly.

Upon hearing the order to be shot, these ambush soldiers were ready to throw out the poison powder in their hands.

But how could the speed at which they threw the poison powder be as fast as the speed at which the composite military crossbow fired the crossbow arrows?

All fell to the ground and died.

Zhao Bencai realized that these ambush troops were all death warriors and could not be kept alive at all.

He said respectfully to King Zhenbei:

"I thought the King of Zhenbei would spare their lives. After all, they are also the army of Dafeng Kingdom, and the prince also spared the lives of the bandits who helped the Evil Wolf before."

Hongxuan smiled and said:

"They are completely different from the bandits of the Hungry Wolf Gang. These ambushers are death warriors who have received orders and have been trained for many years."

"Don't think that they were killed so easily by the composite army crossbows. You never thought that these four thousand people could fight one against ten. If they were to encounter an ambush, they could kill ten of you."

"It may seem that there are only 4,000 people, but in fact, there are 40,000 people ambushing on both sides. Moreover, their fighting style is not ordinary fighting, but suicide attacks. Have you seen their poison powder? This is the best evidence."

Everyone nodded.

If they were allowed to surrender, then all these ambushes would definitely charge into their phalanx at the critical moment, or directly surround and kill the King of Zhenbei.

These are unstable factors.

"Fan Jingtao, go and arrange for a thousand crossbowmen to cooperate with Yu Deshen and his scouts to conduct reconnaissance!"

"Your Majesty!"

Fan Jingtao directly handed over the 1,000 crossbowmen of the First Legion to the reconnaissance team captain Yu Deshen.

Yu Deshen led his reconnaissance team and a thousand crossbowmen to conduct reconnaissance.

The northern border defense camp.

General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu poured himself some fine wine, while inside the military tent, six graceful dancers were dancing.

Cao Wenxiu laughed drunkenly:

"Drink, let's drink, hahaha! Hongxuan will definitely die today."

The other soldiers also started drinking.

Just then a soldier ran in from outside the station.

His expression was extremely ugly.

"General, something terrible has happened!"

Cao Wenxiu, who was drunk, suddenly felt sober.

He said to the signalman with red eyes,

"What happened that made you so panic? Isn't Zhenbei King Hongxuan dead?

I have arranged 4,000 assassins to ambush him.

Even if he had wings, even if he had a lot of guards to protect him, he would still be wiped out by those assassins in a suicidal way, and there would be no chance of him surviving. "

He has trained these assassins for many years.

Of course it is not possible to redeem tens of thousands of troops.

But the order for these assassins was to deal with Hongxuan alone.

As long as they spot Hongxuan, they will attack him in a suicidal manner. Even if there are guards, there are poison powders everywhere. And most importantly, all those who died were ambushed.

But the next report from the signalman scared General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu to death.

"The death squad sent out by the general was completely wiped out!"

General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu stood up suddenly and roared:

"What! No, it's impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"I have trained the Deadpools for so many years. I know their strength. They can fight ten enemies at once. There are four thousand Deadpools. How could they be wiped out?"

"What should the General do now?"

The communications soldier said in panic.

"How did the King of Zhenbei do it? How many casualties were there? How many of the King of Zhenbei's personal guards were injured? Didn't he only have a thousand personal guards?"

General Cao Wenxiu of Dingyuan State had always believed that King Hongxuan of Zhenbei had only one thousand personal guards.

This is also the reason why he dared to take action.

Moreover, it was his own sister, Noble Consort Cao, who told him about the one thousand personal guards, and the letter was still in his arms.

He was filled with indignation and took out the letter from his bosom and read it again.

"Swish!" He tore the letter into pieces in two or three strokes.

"Tell this general how many troops the Zhenbei King has and how many he has lost. If he has no troops, then this general will lead his troops to kill them on the road now."

He was thinking that his 4,000 warriors would be able to kill most of the soldiers and guards of the King of Zhenbei.

But the signalman's next words were like a bolt from the blue.

"None of the personal guards of the Zhenbei King were lost. I escaped from the crossbows and reported back quickly. When I turned back, most of the ambushers were dead. I didn't have time to turn back because almost all the ambushers on both sides were killed."
