On the top of the city wall, the man narrowed his eyes and took in the scene below.
Then, he smiled calmly: "The good show is about to begin."
Looking at the soldiers left outside the city gate, who were hanging and fighting desperately, the man's eyes became more interested.
His men hurried over and whispered, "General, everything is ready."
"Let's begin." Zhang Shan let out a long sigh, folded his hands across his chest, and twisted the flesh on his face into a ball, waiting for the show to begin under the city wall.
After the last rebel soldier was heroically executed at the foot of the city gate, everyone took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy.
The ramming cars hit the city gate again and again, and the soldiers behind the gate who were fighting desperately to protect the gate could no longer hold on.
Suddenly, a rain of sharp arrows flew over.
Fortunately, the army was well-trained. Everyone gathered together, raised their shields, and protected everyone under the shields.
Arrows rained down like raindrops, and the people being hit had no power to fight back.
"Brothers, hold on!" A struggling voice of encouragement came from the side.
Everyone held up their shields high, not daring to relax for a moment.
On the city wall, Zhang Shan was watching with great interest, raising his eyebrows and smiling complacently.
After a while, the arrows stopped and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom!
A loud noise startled everyone. Looking through the gap in the shield, they saw the flaming stone falling from the sky.
It fell right in front of everyone.
"Back off!"
Cen Xiao frowned and shouted loudly.
Everyone held up their shields and moved slowly backwards.
boom!
A rock fell on the shield, and the soldier was killed on the spot, falling on the battlefield with blood spitting out of his mouth.
Everyone's pace was also disrupted.
"Brothers! Don't panic, keep moving!" Shen Wantang continued.
Everyone adjusted their steps and continued to move backwards.
However, with everyone gathered together, the target was too conspicuous. Even if it was at a slightly off angle, it could still accurately fall above everyone.
Seeing the soldiers falling one by one, Shen Wantang felt extremely heartbroken.
"All soldiers, listen up! After three shouts, separate into groups of two, stay hidden, and meet at the camps!" Cen Xiao continued.
After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao counted three times loudly.
In an instant, the people who had just gathered together scattered.
Cen Xiao grabbed Shen Wantang, protected her under the shield, and slowly retreated.
"To run away? Too naive." Zhang Shan smiled evilly and waved to call his men over.
"Aim the flint at the bushes. Don't be polite. Just burn them."
After he finished speaking, the subordinate beside him became a little timid. He frowned and looked at Zhang Shan in front of him, and his voice became a little trembling: "General, but, but Mr. Chen said that the bushes cannot be moved..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan glanced over with a fierce look, as if he wanted to eat his men alive.
"A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from the battlefield." Zhang Shan gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pinched his subordinate's shoulder.
His grip was incredibly strong, and if he used a little more force, the shoulder of his subordinate would be crushed.
His shoulder hurt, but he could only pretend nothing happened and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."
The angle of the mechanism was adjusted, and flints were thrown towards the bushes.
In an instant, the lush green trees turned into a fiery red area.
The soldiers hiding in the bushes felt a burning pain.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, so everyone had to quicken their pace and go back.
However, the fire spread very quickly, and in just a moment, some people were buried in the sea of fire.
Turning around, Shen Wantang and Cen Shen stopped in their tracks when they saw the bushes that had already been burned.
"Come this way." Cen Xiao's brows tightened, he pulled Shen Wantang and went to the side.
"General, Cen Xiao ran away with that woman!" The subordinate came forward to report again.
Zhang Shan then moved his body, stretched his neck, and showed excitement on his face: "Now, it's my turn to chase you."
As the sky gradually darkened, Cen Xiao and Shen Wantang ran forward desperately on the quiet path.
Shen Wantang looked back from time to time to see if the pursuers were catching up.
"Where is ahead?" Shen Wantang asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." Cen Xiao answered clearly, "We can only burn our boats."
But the legs of two men were no match for the horses, and soon they were surrounded in the woods by pursuers from all directions.
The firelight illuminated the surroundings, and the warm torches brought some warmth in the cold night.
Not far away, the horse was walking lazily towards them, and Zhang Shan was also arriving late.
"Cen Xiao, nice to meet you again." Zhang Shan smiled indifferently.
"I saw it once when I was riding on the ox cart outside the city, and once at the mechanism on the back mountain. This time should be the third time." Zhang Shan counted on his fingers, pretending to recall.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's brows tightened - it turned out that this guy knew everything!
"I don't know where you officials in the court got the courage from. You dare to trespass into the mountain city without knowing anything. There are man-eating beasts in the mountains. Aren't you afraid of becoming the beasts' dinner?"
Zhang Shan said sarcastically, but the smile on his face became more and more obscene.
"Tell me, do you want to follow me back obediently, or do you want me to deal with you here and then take you back?" Zhang Shan let out a long sigh and asked with a cold snort.
Obviously, neither of these was what he really wanted.
Cen Xiao protected Shen Wantang behind him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled calmly: "Zhang Shan, if you want to kill me here, you should first ask your Master Chen if he agrees, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan, who had a calm expression just now, suddenly frowned.
Every time he mentioned Chen Kangjian, he seemed like he was going to eat someone.
"Chen Kangjian arrested me just to have another bargaining chip in the negotiation with the imperial court. If you kill me here, do you think you will end up like me when you go back?"
Now, it was Cen Xiao who was calm and composed.
"Bah! Chen Kangjian, that coward, is he worthy of it?" Zhang Shan's eyes were burning with anger and his voice rose several degrees.
"He is a man close to Prince Duanxian, serving the royal children. Do you really think that he is hesitant and dares not take action?" Cen Xiao continued to speak, watching Zhang Shan in front of him becoming more and more angry.
"Shut up!"
Zhang Shan couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao quietly threw the stone he picked up on the road, and the stone fell right into Zhang Shanma's eyes.
The horse was frightened and raised its front legs high, and Zhang Shan almost fell off its back.
Shen Wantang pulled out the soft sword hidden at his waist, flew up and slashed at the person next to him.
With just two moves, Shen Wantang knocked a man off his horse and took the long sword from his hand. He called out to Cen Xiao and threw the long sword over.
"Cen Xiao, go on!"
