It was as if he had foreseen what would happen in the Northern Camp.
Dark clouds covered the sky tonight.
The bright moon was hidden behind the thick clouds, and the whole world was hazy.
Every soldier received an order from Lord Chen.
Every one of them, tonight.
Could not back down.
No one had ever thought about it.
He would play such an important role on such a night.
Zhang Tang originally thought that he would leave the northeast camp with Min Zhao like Li Xiao and Mr. Li Ru.
But he never thought.
He would stand by Lord Chen's side and follow Lord Chen on his left and right with Wang Yi.
How many times had he seen Wang Yi go out with Lord Chen to the scene, or take risks to catch criminals.
At that time, Zhang Tang often regretted that he was a civil official and could not enjoy such a flamboyant and glorious moment.
But at this moment.
Standing in front of General Peng's tent.
Zhang Tang suddenly felt his whole body tremble.
It turned out that.
Not everyone had the talent to be a hero.
Courage.
It was a very important thing.
Chen Jue took the lead and brought a few people to Peng Tao's tent.
After the guard reported for Chen Jue, Chen Jue was led by the guard.
He brought Wang Yi and the others into Peng Tao's tent.
The moment Chen Jue entered the tent, a hundred elite soldiers immediately emerged from the darkness and attacked the guards around Peng Tao's camp.
...
In the tent.
Peng Tao was sitting in front of the table.
He was also discussing everything that had happened today with the demon Wei Yun.
And the arrangements behind.
They had even begun to prepare to move the provisions that Chen Jue had escorted from Chen Jue's tent to their own provisions warehouse.
With Chen Jue's sudden visit, Peng Tao put down the map in his hand. Wei Yun immediately stood up and threw the paper he had just written on into the brazier.
Then, Wei Yun stood behind Peng Tao and looked calmly at Chen Jue and the others.
As usual, Yuan Tongyi stood in the shadows of the large tent, not making a sound, not moving at all. He was like a statue, silent and resolute.
Hei Yang was half-kneeling in front of the table, holding an ink stick and grinding ink for Peng Tao and Wei Yun Laodao.
Peng Tao's eyes followed Chen Jue and then looked at Wang Yi and Zhang Tang behind Chen Jue.
It was so late. Peng Tao knew that Chen Jue did not come with good intentions.
But when he saw Zhang Tang, Peng Tao felt a bit suspicious — if Chen Jue really came to cause trouble, he would not have brought a small document.
Wasn't this a hindrance?
Chen Jue smiled faintly and looked at Peng Tao.
Peng Tao's saber was on the table. If he raised his hand, he could pull out his saber and counterattack — it was impossible to capture someone in one move …
Pursing his lips, he walked calmly in front of Peng Tao. His posture was relaxed and even a bit domineering.
After sitting down, he said, "General Peng should know that this official did not come to the general's camp just to deliver provisions."
Peng Tao could not guess what Chen Jue was planning. His eyes swept over Chen Jue's face before he said, "Does Sir have any other reason for coming to my camp?"
Chen Jue nodded sincerely.
"Please speak."
Peng Tao's eyes darkened. He looked at Wang Yi and Zhang Tang. Chen Jue only brought these two people. What could they do?
Thinking of this, Peng Tao pursed his lips and rubbed his fingers on the table. He couldn't help but think, Why don't we capture Chen Jue tonight and imprison him in the camp?
Since Chen Jue had delivered himself to our doorstep …
"These past few years, His Majesty has always heard people whispering that the Great General is gathering troops in the north and is preparing to rebel.
His Majesty ordered me to come because he wanted to find out how you are doing in the north.
After all … His Majesty has always ordered the Great General to go down south for an audience, but you have never come. "
Chen Jue reached out and picked up the empty tea on the side. He poured himself a sip and continued under Peng Tao's gaze.
"His Majesty's intentions are very clear. If the Great General comes down south with me, he will let you go.
If the Great General refuses to go down south, I may have to make a move. "
"Make a move?" Peng Tao laughed coldly. "You?
In my barracks? "
Peng Tao's lips curled into a smile, his eyes full of contempt.
Chen Jue looked at him indifferently. He did not smile, nor was he angered by Peng Tao's question.
In the originally quiet and cold night, the noise outside the tent was extremely sudden and abrupt.
Peng Tao naturally heard the noise as well. His smile gradually disappeared and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Chen Jue.
"Chen Jue, I thought you at least had a brain, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You are looking for death."
Peng Tao's voice was cold. He raised his hand and pressed it on the long sword on the table. He was ready to stand up at any moment.
Chen Jue sat steadily and continued, "The Western Garrison Army is already here. They will surround us before dawn. I have His Majesty's imperial edict. Your soldiers will not listen to you … I advise you to obediently follow His Majesty's orders and come down south with me. I will tell His Majesty that the Great General is loyal — —"
Peng Tao laughed coldly and interrupted, "Chen Jue, do I look like a fool to you?"
Peng Tao stopped shouting and immediately turned to Yuan Tong behind him. "Take him down."
Almost as soon as Peng Tao finished speaking, Yuan Tong had already charged out.
Wang Yi was not slow either. He charged at Yuan Tong like an arrow.
Chen Jue quickly stood up and took two steps back. His gaze was fixed on Peng Tao.
Zhang Tang was like Wei Yun Laodao. He stood to the side and did not move.
"General, I'm afraid your small guard team won't be able to handle my hundred elite soldiers. Even if the main army can surround us, I have already taken you as a prisoner and I have His Majesty's imperial edict.
Let me advise you again. How about you let Yuan Tong retreat. You will still be the Great General when you come down south with me.
We don't have to meet on the battlefield! "Chen Jue's voice was louder as he stared at Peng Tao with a face full of righteousness.
Peng Tao was still sitting in front of the table. He looked coldly at Chen Jue. His ears listened to the sounds outside and he bit down hard on his cheeks.
In a one on one battle, it was indeed impossible for his small team of guards to win against Jue Chen's hundred elite soldiers. They were trained to fight in wars, and were not good fighters who were good at fighting.
Fighting and fighting were two completely different things.
His face was heavy as his fingers continuously rubbed against his large blade.
He could hear the sounds of Wang Yi and Yuan Tong's blades clashing and the commotion outside the tent.
He raised his eyes to look at Chen Jue. Seeing the other's smug expression, he suddenly curled his lips.
Would the hundred elite soldiers kill his small guard team faster, or would his archers and crossbowmen come to his rescue faster?
"Have the Deputy General bring the archers and crossbowmen battalion to help," Peng Tao suddenly said.
He looked into Chen Jue's eyes as he said this. No one in the tent responded. Chen Jue listened and watched but felt waves of numbness on his back.
Chen Jue's gaze immediately fell on Wei Yun Laodao and Hei Yang.
Wei Yun immediately moved slightly to the side and blocked Hei Yang behind him.
Chen Jue immediately understood. Hei Yang probably had the ability to transmit sound from a thousand li!
Not good!
This way, the speed at which the reinforcements would come would be more than twice as fast as what he had expected.
Chen Jue's expression was heavy and his emotions were in chaos.
… … …
Peng Tao's deputy general ran out of the tent. But when he ran to the archers and crossbowmen battalion with six personal guards, they were surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers.
"Who is it?" The deputy general shouted angrily. The dozen soldiers did not retreat.
The leader gave the order and the dozen people immediately pulled out their swords. They were full of murderous intent.
After a few breaths, the deputy general and the six bodyguards all fell to the ground and died. The leader of the dozen or so people tore off his black mask, and the weak light of the fire shone on his face. The once white face had been tanned by the sun in the north, and the once scholarly face was now showing a bit of frivolity.
It was Qiao Fang.
"Go to the archers and crossbowmen battalion!" Qiao Fang gave the order and led the remaining ten people to the archers and crossbowmen battalion.
… … …
Peng Tao held his sword and stared at Chen Jue.
Hei Yang suddenly said, "General, we can't contact Deputy General Zhang … …"
Peng Tao suddenly turned his head to look at Hei Yang. He knew very well that if he couldn't contact him, he was dead.
Chen Jue stood to the side with one hand behind his back and the other holding the long sword at his waist. He stared at Peng Tao.
Hearing this, he sighed and quickly said, "General, you really don't want to consider my suggestion?"
Peng Tao snorted coldly, "This is my camp. If I'm caught by you, how can I still face — …"
As he said this, he stood up and was about to capture Chen Jue.
Chen Jue moved his hand and pulled out half of the sword at his waist.
Most people did not know how good Lord Chen's swordsmanship was. They only heard that he had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young. Very few people knew that he only practiced swordsmanship when he was young to strengthen his body.
Peng Tao looked at Chen Jue and saw that Chen Jue was very confident.
Peng Tao pursed his lips and hesitated. If Chen Jue was really good at swordsmanship and he was captured by Chen Jue, then no matter how good Yuan Tong was, he would have no chance.
He could not act recklessly.
Thinking about this, Peng Tao took a deep breath and restrained himself.
"Call the others and continue to mobilize the crossbowmen," Peng Tao ordered again. He could not be anxious.
The camp was his camp, a camp with tens of thousands of people. If they really dragged it out, Chen Jue would definitely not be able to outlast him!
Hei Yang immediately lowered his head and sent a message.
Chen Jue frowned and was secretly anxious. However, Hei Yang was standing behind Peng Tao. He could not get past Peng Tao and kill Hei Yang.
Moreover, if he could kill Hei Yang, he would have attacked Peng Tao first.
He could still stand here and supervise the battle and persuade Peng Tao because Peng Tao was still a little hesitant.
On the other side, Wang Yi's battle against Yuan Tong was already going downhill.
Chen Jue and the others could see that Yuan Tong's swordsmanship was not as good as Wang Yi's, but Yuan Tong had the ability to be invulnerable!
No matter how craftily Wang Yi's sword slashed Yuan Tong's body, he could not move Yuan Tong's body.
Wang Yi did not believe that Yuan Tong had no weaknesses, but there was a price to pay for trying.
At this moment, Wang Yi had many wounds on his body.
Zhang Tang stood on the side, his fists clenched and unclenched, unclenched, and clenched again.
After taking countless deep breaths and looking at the wounds on Wang Yi's body, he finally took another deep breath, gathered his courage, and charged at Yuan Tong.
Peng Tao stared at Zhang Tang in shock. He did not understand why this clerk was suddenly not afraid of death.
Chen Jue's pupils contracted and his fists clenched. Seeing Zhang Tang charge over, he subconsciously took a step forward, then quickly stopped.
He took a deep breath, then held his breath and looked over.
"Bang!"
Yuan Tong's sword slashed at Zhang Tang's head.
But just when everyone thought that Zhang Tang's head was going to split open, with a 'bang' sound, Yuan Tong's long sword actually seemed to have cut into a steel plate.
While Yuan Tong was shocked, Wang Yi's sword quickly slashed at the back of Yuan Tong's neck.
Yuan Tong was shocked. He quickly turned his wrist and blocked Wang Yi's sword with his sword.
Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. He immediately understood Yuan Tong's panicked reaction.
He reached out and grabbed Zhang Tang's arm. When Yuan Tong's sword came, he pushed Zhang Tang towards the tip of Yuan Tong's sword.
The moment Yuan Tong's sword stabbed into Zhang Tang's body, Wang Yi quickly stepped to Yuan Tong's side and slashed at the back of Yuan Tong's neck again.
Being pushed to the tip of Wang Yi's sword, Zhang Tang quickly held his breath and his face turned red.
"Bang!" Yuan Tong's sword stabbed into Zhang Tang's chest, but it was like stabbing into an iron plate.
Yuan Tong alertly turned around to protect the back of his neck, but Wang Yi was one step faster.
With a swish, Wang Yi's sword grazed the back of Yuan Tong's neck.
Blood immediately spread out from the back of Yuan Tong's neck. Yuan Tong's eyes turned red. He roared and rushed towards Wang Yi again.
Zhang Tang quickly took a deep breath. When he held his breath, he was invulnerable and had no weakness.
But once he started to breathe, his body was as soft as usual. He had to be highly focused to maintain his excellent reaction speed.
This was so that when Yuan Tong's sword stabbed him, he would not be killed because he was breathing.
Wang Yi and Yuan Tong's swords clashed again. Zhang Tang stood beside Wang Yi. When Wang Yi needed him, he became a meat shield. He could only watch as Yuan Tong's sword stabbed his body.
Zhang Tang felt like he was going to be stabbed to death every time. His heart was beating fast.
However, his participation still changed the situation in the tent.
Peng Tao's face was dark. His fingers gripped the hilt of his sword, and his veins were bulging.
Wei Yun Laodao turned his head and looked at Chen Jue. He was also frowning.
