Outside the tent, there were shouts of fighting and killing.
The screams shook the sky.
Flames gathered everywhere.
People's hearts collapsed.
The saber in Peng Tao's hand was heavy. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young.
He was a powerful general.
Every slash carried a huge amount of strength.
Chen Jue did not block even once.
He felt his arms tremble and his purlicue hurt.
"Go and protect Daren!" Wang Yi gritted his teeth and resisted. The veins on his forehead bulged.
Zhang Tang turned and charged toward Peng Tao. His eyes were slightly red from fighting for his life.
Just as Chen Jue's heart turned cold, the rain of arrows outside the tent gradually stopped.
Chen Jue hid behind the table.
He used the table as a shield.
He tried his best to listen to the situation outside the tent.
Suddenly, he heard someone shouting outside the tent, "Everyone, back off!
Let me in!
His Majesty has ordered to capture Thief Peng!
The Western Garrison Army has arrived outside the Northeast Camp.
Everyone, put down your weapons and listen to my orders.
Don't listen to Thief Peng's orders and be a traitor! "
It was Qiao Fang's voice.
Peng Tao suddenly heard this voice and these words.
His eyes were about to burst into flames.
He roared loudly, almost as if he didn't care about his life.
He pounced toward Chen Jue.
Wei Yun Laodao stared at Peng Tao with wide eyes.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "General,
The situation is hopeless … "
Peng Tao roared. Just as Chen Jue thought that he was going to kill him again,
He turned around.
His eyes were red with anger. He raised his saber and slashed down.
"Ah –" Wei Yun Laodao screamed in pain.
His neck was cut by Peng Tao's saber.
Chen Jue stood behind the table and took a deep breath. He turned his head and saw Hei Yang behind him. He rushed over and smashed the back of Hei Yang's neck with the hilt of his sword.
The young boy immediately fainted — and finally stopped issuing orders.
Chen Jue didn't dare delay. He hurriedly turned around to look at Peng Tao. As expected, Peng Tao had already turned around and was charging towards him with his bleeding broadsword.
Chen Jue could only hope that Qiao Fang could quickly pass through the crowd and enter the tent to help.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
We have to capture Peng Tao!
They had to capture Peng Tao!
We can't give Peng Tao a chance to make a comeback!
As long as Qiao Fang comes in!
With one more person, his chances would be greater!
Chen Jue gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the pressure from Peng Tao.
Zhang Tang kept bumping around to buy more time for Wang Yi and Chen Jue.
The fight in the tent was not awe-inspiring, nor did it look cool.
Slowly, killing intent, tiredness, and struggle took over.
But it was the most realistic moment of desperation.
But just as Chen Jue was filled with hope and waiting for Qiao Fang to enter the tent, a voice came from outside the tent again. This time, it wasn't Qiao Fang's voice.
"The dust in the west is caused by the wind, not the Western Garrison Army.
Generals, don't listen to these bandits' nonsense. Quickly kill the enemy and save the general! "
Peng Tao immediately recognized that it was the voice of his other deputy general.
"I've already sent people to investigate!
The dust in the west is caused by the wind!
Archers and crossbowmen, in position! "
Chen Jue suddenly took a step back. Peng Tao also put away his broadsword.
Yuan Tong hurriedly stood beside Peng Tao to protect the general. Wang Yi also retreated to Chen Jue's side.
The two sides stood facing each other again, separated by the table.
Zhang Tang also staggered to Chen Jue's side and panted a few times.
This time, Chen Jue's face was completely ashen.
The Western Garrison Army didn't come.
They didn't come.
Too late.
Too late.
He took a deep breath and looked at Peng Tao's smug and mocking face.
His heart was already cold.
No matter how much he struggled, he was just struggling at death's door.
Now, the remaining elite soldiers outside the tent were just barely holding on, so that Peng Tao's soldiers wouldn't rush into the tent too quickly.
But that was just a matter of time.
No wonder Peng Tao took a few steps back and didn't attack anymore.
The reason why he attacked Chen Jue was because he wanted to capture Chen Jue and fight for a chance of survival.
But now, Peng Tao had victory in his hands. Naturally, he wouldn't fight with his life. He just had to wait … …
And Chen Jue didn't have the strength to fight anymore. Not to mention, he wasn't Peng Tao's opponent. He was just defending and dodging.
Looking at Wang Yi and Zhang Tang, their clothes were already torn and their bodies were covered with injuries.
He sighed and smiled helplessly. "Although I couldn't capture you today, the Western Garrison General will capture you in a few days.
Someone will take revenge for me … … "
Peng Tao laughed. "I'm afraid that the Western Garrison General will be a coward."
Chen Jue looked coldly at Peng Tao, but he was thinking about Li Xiao.
What should he do … … Without him, what would the little girl do?
Oh … … now that she had her father to take care of her, Li Ru would take good care of her.
If Li Yu was still alive, then … … their family would be reunited.
At that time … … those two unreliable men would probably find another unreliable man for the little girl to marry … …
His heart was suddenly filled with anger. It was sour and bitter. His eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
He suddenly felt as if he couldn't breathe.
It was as if a sharp blade was cutting his heart … …
Damned Peng Tao bastard!!!!
… … …
Outside the tent, the firelight filled the sky and illuminated the entire tent.
Qiao Fang stood outside the tent. Beside him were the elite soldiers brought by Chen Jue. There were only a few dozen of them left.
Everyone held their swords and sabers in front of them as they nervously looked at the archers surrounding them.
The enemy's bowstrings were already taut. They only needed a military order.
Qiao Fang quickly turned around and walked through the elite soldiers towards the tent. He had to go in. If he could capture Peng Tao, he might have a chance.
But just as Qiao Fang was about to touch the tent's curtain, an order came from behind, "Shoot!"
The next moment, a rain of arrows broke through the sky.
… … …
… … …
In the tent, there was still a stalemate.
But the situation was almost settled.
Wang Yi looked at Peng Tao's face and turned to look at Chen Jue. He said in a low voice, "Sir, I can hold them off for now. Let Zhang Tang protect you and escape … …"
Chen Jue looked at Wang Yi's suicidal face and looked into his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled faintly.
Every single one of his subordinates was scolded by him more than once a day, but they were still so loyal.
He looked at Zhang Tang again. The good clerk was now covered in blood. His clothes were torn and his hair was scattered. Zhang Tang had probably never been in such a sorry state in his life.
He had just awakened a super powerful ability. He didn't even have time to be happy before he came to die with him.
He took a deep breath and shook his head at Wang Yi.
How could they escape from an army of tens of thousands?
They might as well escape together with their brothers.
Peng Tao looked at Chen Jue and the other two. He looked at Chen Jue and gradually calmed down.
He knew that Chen Jue had no room to resist.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His Adam's apple bobbed. He was about to laugh.
Suddenly, he heard a "poof" behind his ear. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Yuan Tong holding the back of his neck. Yuan Tong's eyes were bulging as he fell down.
Peng Tao opened his eyes wide and reached out to grab Yuan Tong's arm.
The curtain of the large tent was pushed open with a bang, and a person immediately rushed in. That person only needed one glance to determine the situation in the tent, and like a puppy, he pounced on Chen Jue.
Chen Jue was hit hard. He took a step back to stabilize himself. He put his hands together and looked down. He saw the little girl looking up at him with tears in her eyes. It was as if she had been wronged.
He frowned and was about to fly into a rage.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw three people walk in.
The person in the lead was elegant and handsome. He looked gentle and refined.
At this moment, he stretched out his long arm and turned his finger.
Chen Jue looked in the direction he pointed. Indeed, he saw the blood on Yuan Tong's neck turning into a mist. It was as if the blood had its own consciousness and left the body.
No matter how much Peng Tao wanted to help Yuan Tong cover the back of his neck, he couldn't stop the mist of blood from flying out.
It was Li Yu!
Li Yu turned his head and looked at Chen Jue. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He still looked gentle and modest, but his face was much paler than before. He looked especially thin.
His once black hair had turned gray and was tied to the top of his head.
Looking at it, one could not help but feel a sense of desolation.
Behind Li Yu were Li Ru and Min Zhao.
Li Yu turned his head and looked at Peng Tao. He took a step forward and shook his hand. A hemp rope flew out and tied Peng Tao up like a dumpling.
Blood also flew out of Peng Tao's body, making him lose the strength to resist.
The tent was pushed open again. Qiao Fang walked in. When he looked around, his eyes were still filled with shock.
He would probably never forget the scene of the rain of arrows coming at him. When he was about to die, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped in the air and then shattered into pieces.
When Chen Jue saw this, he immediately patted Li Xiao's back and let Zhang Tang protect her.
Then, he grabbed Peng Tao and walked out of the tent. He shouted, "Thief Peng has surrendered. All soldiers of the Northeast Barracks, return to your tents and await orders!
Those who disobey will be beheaded! "
Li Yu walked out with Chen Jue and looked at the soldiers of the archer and crossbow battalion who surrounded him and another deputy general of Peng Tao.
His face was indifferent. When he wasn't smiling, there was a fierce look in his eyes.
The deputy general stood still and looked at Peng Tao. He frowned and thought about the possibility of him killing Peng Tao and Chen Jue and taking Peng Tao's place.
Li Yu looked at the deputy general and didn't immediately obey the order. He turned his head and looked at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue pursed his lips and nodded.
Li Yu gently raised his hand.
Before the deputy general could think clearly, he suddenly felt all the strength in his body disappear. The scene in front of him began to twist and turn.
The soldiers standing beside the deputy general screamed in fright and hurriedly took a step back.
The blood mist around the deputy general dissipated. In an instant, he turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground.
Commander Qian of the archer and crossbow battalion took a deep breath and shouted, "All soldiers, return to your tents and await orders!"
After shouting, he turned around and led his own battalion back to their tents.
"Those who obey orders, your pay will remain unchanged. Let bygones be bygones!" Chen Jue shouted again.
Although the generals of the other battalions were hesitant, they quickly made a decision and led their soldiers back to their tents.
Only a mess and bloodstained corpses were left.
When the noise and chaos gradually subsided, the darkest moment of the night had passed. The east room began to turn white.
Chen Jue took a deep breath. He felt sore all over and pain.
