The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 815: Capturing the Guardsman Alive

Three days later, late at night, at the east gate of Kuiyuan City.

The fat man, a two-meter-tall and four-hundred-pound man, was patrolling the East City Gate with a thousand men.

Seeing that they were all old acquaintances, the gatekeeper didn't care and continued chatting.

The fat man passed by the soldiers guarding the city, and suddenly jumped up, swung the nine-ring knife in his hand, and chopped off the heads of two soldiers with the knife, shouting: "Kill!~"

More than a thousand people, holding their swords and waving them at their former comrades, did not hesitate at all.

A quarter of an hour later, the ground was filled with the corpses of Song soldiers. Just as the fat man was about to open the city gate, more than a thousand Song soldiers rushed in. The leading general rode on a big horse and shouted, "Hey! Fatty, do you want to rebel?!"

The fat man snorted coldly and said, "Xu Bangchui, I've been displeased with you for a long time! Die!"

The fat man rushed on foot towards Xu Bangchui who was riding a big horse with a nine-ring knife in his hand. There was a huge gap between cavalry and infantry. With the help of horsepower, the strength and speed were beyond the reach of infantry!

The two of them had always been at odds with each other, and now that they had a chance to "settle it privately", neither of them would show mercy. The fat man rushed forward with a knife in his hand, and Xu Bangchui also came forward with a gun in his hand.

With a bang, the two men's weapons collided. Xu Bangchui thought he had hit a wall, and both he and his gun flew out!

Xu Bangchui screamed and flew off the horse, falling all over. The fat man caught up with him in a few steps, not giving Xu Bangchui a chance to turn over, and killed him with a knife.

"Bah! Let you call me a fat man!" As soon as he chopped down Xu Bangchui, the soldiers he brought started fighting with the fat man's soldiers.

After a while, another seven or eight thousand Song soldiers rushed out. The fat man said anxiously: "You guys block them first, I'll go open the door!"

The fat man rushed to the city gate regardless of anything, and pulled the gate lock with a dozen soldiers, trying to lift the huge lock weighing several thousand pounds. However, the lock was too heavy, and there was no way for more than a dozen of them to open the city gate quickly.

Most of his more than 1,000 soldiers had been killed or wounded, and he was on the verge of being unable to hold on. Suddenly, more than 10,000 soldiers rushed out from behind the more than 8,000 Song soldiers, all of them wearing red scarves.

The young general in the lead rode on a tall horse and shouted, "Fatty, zip them up, I'll leave them to you!!"

A melee involving more than 20,000 people, with shouts of killing resounding through the heavens and the earth

Outside the city, the Zhou army, which had been ready for a long time, attacked the three gates at the same time at Sun Erleng's order. Only Man Sanmiao's army was still waiting for the east gate to open.

Lin Que, who was inside the city, had just gotten out of bed. Upon hearing that the rebels had seized the city gate, he panicked and gathered his own troops to rush over.

When they arrived, more than 20,000 people had been fighting for half an incense stick of time. Most of the people on both sides were killed or injured. The dozen or so people led by the fat man had already opened most of the locks.

Lin Que exclaimed: "What the hell are you doing! Go and kill those rebels who opened the lock!"

The fat man gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's only a little bit left, brothers, use all your strength and pull hard! Open it for me!!"

More than a dozen people were all holding their breath until their faces turned red. They used up their last breath, and there were more than a dozen clicking sounds in succession. Then with a bang, the city gate opened wide.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Man Sanmiao waved his hand and said, "Charge in!" Nie Xiaocheng, leading 10,000 cavalrymen, had already become impatient and rushed out first.

Then, teams of cavalry followed one after another, and a total of 200,000 cavalry rushed into the city gate one after another.

Lin Que led his 30,000 personal troops and saw the city gates were wide open. He shouted, "Stop them all! Drive Zhou's army out!"

He led the way and led his troops to meet the attacking Nie Xiaocheng. The scene of the cavalry charging was unimaginable if you hadn't seen it! Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the scene was filled with the sound of flesh colliding!

Lin Que was ambushed, and he didn't bring many soldiers with him, so he was immediately dispersed by the Zhou army. Seeing Nie Xiaocheng chasing him on horseback, his personal soldiers said anxiously: "General, run! The city gate has been breached, we can't stand it anymore!"

“No!!!” Lin Que pushed his personal guards away and said frantically: “Even if I die, I will die under the city!! Otherwise, how can I have the face to go down and see the ancestors of the Lin family! How can I see the emperors of all generations!!”

Nie Xiaocheng rode his horse with his gun in hand, and came within a hundred meters of Lin Que. As soon as he saw Lin Que's attire, he knew that he was a high-ranking official, and said excitedly, "This great achievement belongs to me!"

Seeing that Nie Xiaocheng was also wearing a general's uniform, Lin Que said calmly, "You guys run away, and let me kill another Zhou general for the Song Dynasty!"

Lin Que raised his gun and rode his horse, shouting, "General, tell me your name! I will not kill nameless people!"

Nie Xiaocheng laughed loudly, "Hahaha~ I am Nie Xiaocheng, a young general under Marshal Sun~ The enemy general shall die!!"

The two men slashed head-on, and with a clang, they passed each other. Lin Que almost lost his grip on the spear in his hand, and exclaimed in surprise: "What a great strength!!!"

Nie Xiaocheng reined in his horse, turned around, and took another run, rushing towards the still-astonished Lin Que and shouting, "Not bad, you can take my move, come again!!"

Lin Que gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and rode his horse towards the attacking Nie Xiaocheng, shouting, "Don't underestimate me!"

The two men met head-on, and this time they did not pass each other by each other, but stopped about ten meters apart. After all, the running distance was too short, and the horses' speed had not yet been fully increased.

The two men immediately exchanged blows. After more than a dozen clanging moves, Lin Que's hands were numb from the shock. Nie Xiaocheng saw the right moment and used his spear to knock Lin Que's weapon away. He pointed the tip of the spear at Lin Que's neck and said, "Why don't you admit defeat?!"

Lin Que was so ashamed and angry that he drew his sword and was about to commit suicide. Nie Xiaocheng was quick-witted and shot Lin Que's sword down with a spear, and kicked Lin Que off his horse.

He also landed on the ground and laughed: "You have some courage, but you are captured by me, and your life already belongs to me!!"

Nie Xiaocheng happily tied up Lin Que and asked, "Where is your city defender? My target is him, not a small fry like you."

Lin Que blushed, not knowing how to answer Nie Xiaocheng's question. Fortunately, the fat man kneeling not far away recognized Lin Que and shouted naively, "General~ He is the general defending the city, Lin Que."

Nie Xiaocheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Que and said, "You are the general defending the city? No way? Why are your martial arts so poor? Fatty, you are not lying to me, are you?"

The fat man chuckled and said, "How dare I? He is Lin Que. If I frame you, I won't be able to eat meat for ten years~"

Nie Xiaocheng was overjoyed and said happily: "Fatty, you will follow me from now on. My name is Nie Xiaocheng!" He mounted his horse and ran out of the city with Lin Que, who was tied up. He wanted to send Lin Que to the Marshal~

Inside Sun Erleng’s tent outside the city.

Hearing that Nie Xiaocheng had captured the enemy commander alive, Sun Erleng was overjoyed and said, "Prepare the horses! I will go and catch him myself. You really make me proud!"

After a while, the groom prepared Sun Erleng's big black horse. Sun Erleng stepped forward and patted the horse's back and said, "You took good care of it. I didn't expect that Qi Shuai is also a good horse breeder~"

Qi Hong said expressionlessly, "As a general, there is no reason not to love horses. Besides, Marshal Sun's Dayuan horse is a good horse. The guilty general just put a little more effort into it."

Seeing Qi Hong's face full of resentment, Sun Erleng sighed and said, "Are you still blaming me?" Qi Hong shook his head and said, "The fact that the criminal can survive is already a great favor from the Emperor. How dare I blame the Marshal? It's just..."

Sun Er was stunned and said, "Just what? Don't hesitate. Is there anything you and I can't say?"

Although Qi Hong was Sun Erleng's groom, Sun Erleng treated him sincerely and often asked him to drink and talk about military affairs. The two had known each other for more than three years and admired each other very much.

Qi Hong said: "You said that you would find an opportunity to let the criminals make amends for their crimes, but this war has been going on for half a year..."

Sun Erleng laughed when he heard this and said, "You are anxious. Haha. This is the first time I see you anxious. I will keep my word. You will definitely have a chance, but it will not be in the battle between Zhou and Song. It will be on another battlefield."
