In Mengtou Rock, Pu Hu and others waited from dusk until light. The defeated soldiers fled back one after another, and the celebration banquet was changed into a banquet to calm the nerves, but there was no sign of the return of the Luoti.
The wine had been warmed three times, and its aroma had faded. The dishes had been heated into soup, and everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
Pu Hu personally waited at the critical moment for half an hour, sighed secretly, and came back to order the banquet to begin. No matter who won or lost, the stomach had to be filled.
Everyone had been hungry for most of the day, so even though the dishes had to be reheated several times and the wine was bland, they still enjoyed the meal.
Just as he was wolfing down his food, a figure flashed at the door and a man strode into the tent. It was the returning rich bream. Seeing that all the leaders in the hall were eating happily, he suddenly froze and his face became even uglier.
Everyone who was eating and drinking was also stunned. Some were holding their wine glasses, some were holding their bowls. The scene was awkward for a while!
After a long silence, Gong Xi put down his glass and laughed dryly, "Well, Lao Luo, we've been waiting for a long time. We thought you... were going to rest early and go rescue people tomorrow."
Pu Hu also nodded and said, "Yes, I just came back from a critical moment and only ate a bite or two. You look at the food and... burp~~"
Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but burp at an inopportune time, which made him feel even more embarrassed.
Luo Chu glanced at everyone with a cold face, and suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.
Gong Xi was startled, and quickly stood up and comforted him: "Lao Luo, victory and defeat are common in the military. We did wait for the whole afternoon, you don't have to do this."
"It's my fault that we lost the battle, I don't blame you!" Luo Tai shook his head slightly, bowed to Pu Hu and said, "I should apologize to the king."
Gong Xi was surprised and asked, "Then why are you laughing?"
Luo Tai said, "I was defeated today because of the scheme of Yan Pu, so I quietly went down the mountain and prepared to sneak into the camp to kill him for revenge. I found that Liu Qi had already arrived at the camp and the soldiers of Jingzhou were having a banquet to celebrate their victory. Although I didn't have a chance to attack, I came up with a clever plan to defeat the enemy and hurried back."
"Liu Qi is here?" Pu Hu was surprised: "What's your plan?"
Luo Tai strode forward and whispered something in Pu Hu's ear. Pu Hu looked ecstatic and laughed, saying, "Come on, keep eating!"
Everyone was puzzled, but when they saw the black bream return to his seat and start eating and drinking heartily, they also kept their heads down and continued eating and drinking.
After the banquet, Pu Hu ordered Du Fu to patrol the pass, and the rest of the troops went to rest, leaving only Luo Ti and Gong Xi to discuss military intelligence.
After three o'clock in the morning, Luo Tai and Gong Xi came with their troops and asked Du Fu to open the gate. They were going to rob the camp and soon disappeared under the hazy moonlight.
Du Fu said unhappily, "As long as there is an opportunity to make merit, the seven families will rush to take the lead. How can we turn things around?"
Wang Ping said calmly, "Liu Qi was able to defeat Cao Cao, which shows that he is very good at commanding troops. How could the camp not be prepared? I think they will encounter setbacks again this time."
"Zijun, you are still too young!" Du Fu shook his head and sighed, "The soldiers of Jingzhou have won a great victory, and Luo Tai has personally seen them holding a banquet to celebrate their victory. The defense in the camp must be lax at this time. This is a good opportunity to rob the camp!"
Wang Ping looked up at the sky. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Facing the night wind, he murmured, "I heard that Liu Qi is only in his early twenties. I really want to meet him."
At four o'clock in the morning, Gong Xi led his troops to the foot of the mountain and sent out scouts to find out what was going on. The scouts reported back that the Jingzhou army camp was indeed lax in its defenses, with only two teams patrolling.
"God is really helping me!" Gong Xi said happily, "Brother Luo deserves half of the credit for this."
"I don't want your credit!" Luo Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Pu harmed my people. I just want to kill him for revenge and capture Liu Qi, that's enough!"
Gong Xi sneered in his heart, you sound nice, if you catch Liu Qi, wouldn’t the credit be greater than mine
After some preparation, the two men lit torches from the east and west sides of the enemy camp to send out signals, and then rushed into the camp at the same time.
As expected, the defenders were caught off guard and fled in panic, all running towards the rear camp. Gong Xi was worried that Luo Ti had captured Liu Qi first, so he did not bother to chase after the enemy and went straight to the central army tent with his entourage.
Seeing a figure flashing inside, he was overjoyed and swung his knife to cut open the tent, but saw Luo Tai also rushing in from the other side. The two of them had the same idea.
Gong Xi's heart skipped a beat, he saw that there was no one in the tent, only a lit lamp and a few straw men standing there.
The two looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Not good!"
At this moment, drums suddenly sounded outside the camp, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere. The two men hurriedly left the tent and called on the soldiers to come and fight the enemy.
The Ba people were busy fighting for supplies in various camps. Those armors and weapons were all made of steel, which were much better than their leather armor and bronze swords. Some of them were even put on on the spot.
They didn't care that there was no one in the tent until they heard the drumbeats, then realized something was wrong and came out of the tent one after another, all holding packages of varying sizes, creating a huge chaos.
Gong Xi was anxious and angry. He stamped his feet and yelled, "Asshole, put your things down and retreat!"
A big fire had started in the east, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting up into the sky. Under the firelight, a cavalry was seen galloping towards them.
The man in the lead was wearing a white robe and riding a white horse. He led the way with a sweep of his spear, and several people fell down, and some were even lifted up into the air.
Some Pakistani soldiers stepped forward to resist, but they were all defeated by him and no one could match them. Some of them were reluctant to give up the supplies in their hands and were killed, howling like ghosts and howling like wolves, and fled in all directions with their heads down.
"This is too much!" Gong Xi was furious when he saw him killing his people. He shouted, "I will deal with him. Brother Luo, you..."
Just as he was about to tell Luo Tai to break out, he turned around and saw that Luo Tai had already ridden his horse and galloped away, cursing, "You son of a bitch, how dare you sell me out?"
This cavalry came with great force. The Ba people were mostly infantry, so it was too late for them to retreat. Gong Xi roared and stepped forward to fight with his sword.
Luo Tai fled from the battlefield, which was definitely not something a warrior of the Ba people would do. But it was also good this way. If he could capture the camp and arrest Liu Qi, the credit would be all his own, and his prestige would surely surpass that of the King of Ba.
Ding Dong Dong—
Gong Xi raised his knife and slashed fiercely, but the knife almost slipped out of his hand at the first sight. If he hadn't held a shield in his other hand, he would have been stabbed by a bullet.
"What a fast gun!" Gong Xi gasped, shook his numb wrist, and shouted, "Who is coming?"
"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan!" the general answered, turning his horse around and stabbing with his spear.
Gong Xi hurriedly raised his shield to block, only to hear a series of dense noises. The black iron shield felt like it was being hit by a hammer, his palms felt numb, and it slipped out of his hand.
"Wait—" Gong Xi shouted hurriedly.
The shield is the glory of the Ba warriors. Once it falls out of their hands, it means fighting to the death. Gong Xi does not want to fight to the death.
But Zhao Yun didn't care about all that. He fired a shot back at Gong Xi, hitting him in the waist and abdomen, knocking him off his horse. Several soldiers rushed forward and captured him alive and tied him up.
At this time, Chen Dao and Yan Pu had also arrived with their troops. The Ba people's war song had not yet sounded, and they were in complete chaos. In addition, without the two leaders, there were few resistances, and they all fled.
Luo Dai rode his horse to fight his way out of the encirclement, with only a few men following him. When he reached halfway up the mountain, arrows suddenly shot out, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Suddenly, they were terrified and shouted, "Who!"
A young man walked out of the dense forest. It was Chen Feng from last time. He crossed his arms and sighed, "Should I say that enemies meet on a narrow road, or that old friends meet again?"
