After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Cai Zhang was so angry that he rushed forward with all his soldiers.

But before they had walked half a mile, they encountered a team of archers led by Ma Xigui.

There was no time for them to react at all. The arrows poured down from above like locusts.

The soldiers in the front row were like paper-made, and fell to the ground one after another after being shot by arrows. The sound of screams was endless.

As the man and his horse were falling, a feather arrow whizzed past Cai Zhang's ear.

Ma Xigui stood behind the bunker, disdainfully retracted the arrow in his hand, and sneered: "Tsk, it missed the target."

Cai Zhang only felt a burning pain. He reached out and touched it, and his fingertips were covered with bright red liquid, stinging his eyes.

His pupils constricted, his heated head gradually cooled down, and the hairs on his back stood up.

At this time, Ma Ben held up a shield to block the continuous rain of arrows, and shouted to Cai Zhang: "Sir, retreat first! They are obviously well prepared! Don't let our brothers die in vain! The best thing to do is to go back to the county government to discuss countermeasures!"

"My lord! Retreat!"

Cai Zhang's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the tragic scene around him. Fear and anger intertwined in his heart, and finally blended into one word.

"withdraw!"

Inside the meeting hall of Wulongzhai.

"Hahahahaha, Lord County Lieutenant, I think Cai Zhang should change his name to Cai Niao. You didn't see how those idiots under him were beaten to a pulp. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaolin."

Hu Ruiqi smiled and patted his thigh.

"Stop laughing, bro."

Hu Ruilin looked at his brother helplessly, and then said to the man who was sitting with his legs crossed and seemed to be in deep thought: "But what my brother said is indeed correct. The soldiers under Cai Zhang are not very useful."

When Ma Xigui saw Hu Ruiqi's description, he snorted and felt competitive.

"What you did is nothing. Today, I almost shot Cai Zhang's head with an arrow, and I didn't even say anything. Tsk, it was just too far away, and it just brushed his ear."

Hu Ruiqi stopped laughing, rolled his eyes at Ma Xigui, and said unconvincedly: "Tsk, you didn't hit the target, why are you showing off? If I still had my left hand, I would teach you what it means to hit the target from a hundred paces away."

Ma Xigui was just about to retort.

"All right."

Li Yanqi put down his crossed legs and interrupted everyone with a serious expression, saying, "The reason why today is so smooth is that Cai Zhang underestimated the enemy. According to his thinking, it would be as easy to crush us with 10,000 troops as it is to crush an ant, so he did not make any plans or deployments."

Li Yanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze wandering over everyone's faces, and said sternly: "But now he already knows the depth of the situation. He will definitely make strict arrangements when he returns and come back. The enemy is numerous and we are few, so you must not underestimate the enemy. However..."

He lifted up his skirt, crossed his legs and casually lay down in the armchair, curled his lips and smiled: "It's a good thing that this rookie doesn't take me seriously, otherwise I would definitely lose this battle. Now it's just right, I don't have to worry about him using any tricks again."

Zhuang Xingbai took a sip of tea and asked with a slight smile, "What you were worried about before was the isolation zone that Village Chief Wang dug around the village?"

"Smart. If we can think of it, this rookie can definitely think of it too. If he uses these methods right from the start, I really won't be able to do anything to him."

Li Yanqi relaxed and changed his posture, and continued: "Within three days, this rookie will come again."

Wang Zhenlong was immediately frightened when he heard this, and he put aside his contempt and asked, "What does the boss mean?"

"I couldn't use the tung oil fire attack before, but now I'm not afraid of it. This vegetable dog wants to burn me to death, so I'll turn him into a braised vegetable dog. Okay..."

Li Yanqi stood up, patted the wrinkles on his hem, and said, "Just follow the previous deployment, especially at night, don't take it lightly. If anyone makes a mistake, I'll punish him. It's getting late, I'm going back to accompany my wife."

After saying this, he pushed the black hair that was resting on his chest behind his back and left the meeting hall leisurely.

Li Yanqi really said it.

At midnight on the third day, under the cover of darkness, Cai Zhang led the reorganized soldiers and climbed up Wulong Mountain.

When they were fifty feet away from Wulong Village, the torches and rockets instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The flickering flames revealed the cruelty on Cai Zhang's face.

He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Set the dense forests around Wulong Village on fire! If there are any bandits escaping from the village, kill them on the spot! If it is that thief Li Yanqi, bring him here. I will kill him myself and use his corpse to light the sky lantern!"

Ma Ben frowned when he heard this, and stepped forward to persuade him, "Sir, this... is not appropriate, right? There are still many old, weak, women and children who are being forced in the village..."

Cai Zhang's eyes were fierce and he looked at Ma Ben as if he was an enemy.

"Since you have entered the bandit camp, you are one of them. What's wrong with that? Shoot!"

Ma Ben felt powerless and retreated into the crowd with his head down in despair.

The other lieutenant generals looked at Ma Ben with different expressions, and one with a pockmarked face made a sarcastic remark.

"You are a piece of trash who can even throw away food and grass. Do you really think you are a big shot? You even want to influence the governor?"

Ma Ben clenched his fists tightly and was trying to endure it when he suddenly heard a familiar roar like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth.

He leaped and landed behind a protruding rock.

In the firelight, a round boulder with a reflective surface rolled over the burning dead leaves and suddenly caught fire, turning into a huge burning fireball, like a giant unicorn, pouncing towards them.

Suddenly, screams and howls were heard in the sea of ​​fire.

Yunlong County Government Office.

After what happened, Cai Zhang no longer had any hatred in his heart. His face was dark and gray, and he sat dejectedly on the mahogany chair at the top.

A group of dark and disheveled lieutenant generals stood below.

Cai Zhang slumped over and asked in a disheartened tone, "How many soldiers were lost?"

The lieutenant generals looked at each other and pushed each other, and no one dared to step forward to answer.

Only Ma Ben bravely stepped forward and said, "Sir, fifteen thousand were killed tonight. Adding the soldiers who died last time, we still have seven thousand left..."

He just finished speaking.

Cai Zhang lifted up the tea bowl on the mahogany table and smashed it to pieces on the ground.

"You bastard! You're bullying me too much! I must! I must..."

As he spoke, Cai Zhang slumped down in the mahogany chair and fell silent.

The lieutenants did not dare to dodge when hit by the porcelain pieces. They all held their breath and remained silent like chickens.

The air seemed to be stagnant. At this time, Master Liu, who had been standing at the back with his hands in his sleeves, took a few steps forward.

Magistrate Dong has already been removed from his post by the government, and during this period of time, Lawyer Liu is temporarily serving as magistrate.

He lowered his head, glanced at Cai Zhang secretly, and said cautiously: "Sir, I wonder if you can allow me to have a word with you."

Cai Zhang seemed to have all his strength drained away. He put one hand to his forehead, waved it, frowned, and said, "Speak."

"Sir, since you are worried about not being able to take down Li County and the thief, why don't you show the other states how you are courteous and tolerant..."

Cai Zhang put down his hand that was touching his forehead, relaxed his brows slightly, stood up and looked at Master Liu.

"What does Master mean?"

Master Liu raised his eyes and glanced at Cai Zhang quickly, then lowered his head again.

"Recruit Li Yanqi and make him yours."
