Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

As for the Zhuang family, Cao Chao didn't say it clearly, but he believed that Zhu Ying would definitely understand what he meant.

As the saying goes, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. Zhu Ying should understand.

After arranging all this, Cao Chao led [-] elite troops eastward.

The war is about to start.

Chapter 122 Ambush

Soon Cao Chao led the army to a gorge, which is the only way from Qilan Kingdom to Dian Kingdom.

With an order, six thousand elites quickly ambushed on the mountains on both sides of the canyon.

Just as everyone took their positions, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and with a slight tilt, Zhuang Jiao's soldiers and horses appeared on the horizon.

Because it was a hurried march, the team became scattered, and some people even took off their armor.

A group of people came here in a mighty manner, only thinking about rushing to the capital of the Dian king as soon as possible, never expecting that there would be an ambush here.

However, when everyone entered the canyon, suddenly countless boulders fell, completely blocking both ends,

"Call..."

The war horse under his crotch was frightened, and he almost knocked Zhuang Jiao off the horse, so scared that he quickly reined in the reins.

"What's going on, is it a landslide?"

Zhuang Jiao looked up, his face turned pale with fright.

I saw countless figures appearing on the mountains on both sides, densely packed to fill the entire mountain.

"There is an ambush!"

Zhuang Jiao shouted and hastily ordered his subordinates to defend.

Just as he finished speaking, countless arrows fell from the mountain.

"Shhhhhh!"

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and densely packed feather arrows scattered towards the canyon like a violent storm.

Zhuang Jiao's army was caught off guard, and countless soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

The line began to become chaotic.

"Shoot, shoot 'em!"

There were bursts of shouts and shouts from the mountain, and another wave of arrows struck.

That's not all, countless woods are thrown down as if they don't need money, and they can often hit several people as soon as they go down with the woods.

"Damn!!!"

Zhuang Jiao was furious to the extreme, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, there was a roar from the mountain.

I saw darkness above my head, and countless boulders rolled down the hillside.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jiao was terrified.

He saw with his own eyes dozens of soldiers in the distance being hit by boulders, their bodies being crushed into slag like rags, red and white scattered all over the ground.

For a while, the screams in the valley were endless, and people fell down all the time.

"Prince, you can't wait any longer, hurry up and break through!"

Just when Zhuang Jiao fell into a sluggish state, the guards around him hurriedly protected him and retreated towards the exit.

Just after the group of people left, a boulder fell right where they were just now, and the soldiers behind were crushed into a pulp by surprise.

Zhuang Jiao happened to witness this scene, his whole body trembled, and he woke up instantly.

"Yes, you can't stay here, all the soldiers follow me to break through!"

He waved the long spear in his hand and rode his horse to kill the way he came.

However, when Zhuang Jiao rushed to the entrance of the valley, he realized that his way was also blocked by a boulder.

"Abandon the horse and climb up!"

Zhuang Jiao gave the order immediately, and the people behind him got off their horses one after another and climbed up along the boulder.

However, at this moment, a row of figures suddenly appeared on the boulder.

When Zhuang Jiao looked up, his whole body turned cold.

I saw countless heavy armored warriors on the boulder, pointing at them with bows and arrows.

In the next second, arrows rained down.

"Puff puff!"

Countless men were hit by arrows and fell from the boulder.

"Don't be afraid, as long as we climb over there, we will have a way out. Climb, climb for me!"

Zhuang Jiao raised his sword and knocked down an arrow facing him, and then shouted.

However, at this moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The person who came was wearing a purple slim metal battle suit with a high collar and a fish pattern iron mask on his face.

"I go!"

Cao Chao on the top of the mountain became furious when he saw the startled salamander went down without his order.

He hurriedly dodged and rushed down from the top of the mountain.

"female?"

Before Zhuang Jiao had time to be surprised, he felt that the power of heaven and earth around him seemed to be imprisoned, and he and the soldiers around him were unable to move.

"Swipe!"

The startled salamander waved the sword in his hand continuously, and countless pink sword lights struck, like pieces of sharp blades, instantly tore Zhuang Jiao and the dozens of guards beside him to pieces.

Zhuang Jiao couldn't even call out, so he died without a whole body.

"The prince is dead!"

Just then Cao Chao arrived and witnessed this scene.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he looked directly at the startled salamander.

This woman dared to disobey his orders and attack without authorization, how could it be paid off in the long run?

At this time, Cao Chao was thinking quickly in his mind how to deal with this matter later, but he didn't care about the battle situation below.

The soldiers and horses who were following Zhuang Jiao here witnessed the main general being cut into pieces with their own eyes, and they were frightened out of their wits and terrified.

The scene in front of him was really shocking. The usually arrogant and domineering prince was chopped into pieces by a woman and turned into a pile of rotten meat on the ground. Who can not panic?

"Surrender! I want to surrender!"

"Stop! Stop quickly, I'll wait for my wish!"

"Yes, I will wait for my wish!"

Countless people voluntarily dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying on the mountain quickly raised her arms in a pause, and soon someone behind her raised a flag.

The rest of the people understood after seeing the flag and stopped attacking.

Bows and arrows, wooden blocks, and rolling stones stopped.

"The prince is dead? Is this true?"

"I can't die anymore!"

"Then surrender!"

More and more soldiers in the valley heard that Zhuang Jiao was dead, and knew that if they continued, their lives would be in vain, so they also threw down their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

In fact, if the enemy hadn't been greeted with bows and arrows, piles of wood, and rolling stones as soon as they came up, and they hadn't been given a chance to speak at all, perhaps quite a few of them would have called for surrender very early.

With Zhuang Jiao's death, the battle ended in just a few minutes.

After this battle, including Zhuang Jiao, more than 1000 people died in the battle of Zhuangjia's army, and more than [-] people surrendered.

On Cao Chao's side, there were only a dozen casualties, which can be described as extremely disparate.

This was a great victory. After this battle, Cao Chao's military strength has reached a terrifying 7000 people, more than Zhuang Kui's.

"Clear the battlefield as soon as possible, and escort the prisoners back to the capital of the Dian Kingdom!"

"promise!"

As soon as Cao Chao gave an order, some of his subordinates gathered the surrendering soldiers and rushed towards the capital of the Dian king.

Others began to clean up the corpses in the valley, collecting armor, weapons, horses, food, etc., and buried the dead on the spot.

"Don't bury it, burn it!"

When Cao Chao saw it, he drank it immediately.

Such large-scale burials have the potential to affect groundwater over time, leading to widespread plague.

Incineration is the best way.

"Master, this..."

The general frowned, but did not dare to refute.

In this day and age, the emphasis is on burial, and it is disrespectful to burn a corpse.

Not only this general, but even other soldiers also looked over here.

Feeling the gazes of the others, Cao Chao remembered this and had to compromise.

"I'm talking about the enemy's corpse, if it is burned, it will be burned, so what?

"As for the corpses of our own soldiers, we can collect them, transport them back to Dian Kingdom, and pick a piece of geomantic treasure land to bury for safety.

"At that time, I will preside over their funeral personally!"
