"Humph, it's just you? The county is already under our control, and you can't fly!"

Another spy sneered.

"Our lord, Prince Zhang Cheng, is leading an army to kill us right now. You all must die!"

At this time, the spies in the yamen were still shouting. As soon as these words came out, the yamen officials took a breath of cold air.

"What?! The enemy has entered the city?!"

Zhao Si sneered again and again.

He stood up suddenly.

"Your troops have been wiped out by my Fengyang guard, General Qin.

"What, it's impossible?" Several spies were terrified.

The spies didn't know that their master had already fled in panic.

Zhao Si ordered his people to put the spies into prison under strict supervision, and then interrogate them slowly when they came back.

Then he took the yamen runners and soldiers to Zhang's house to check the situation.

As a result, not long after leaving the county government office, they encountered the Zhang family's troops who rushed out, and the two sides fought together.

"Hurry up and chase! Don't let anyone get away!"

Zhao Si brandished a long sword and led all the government officials and soldiers in hot pursuit.

"Kill!"

The two sides fought fiercely on the street, with blood splattering everywhere.

Everyone in the Zhang family is outnumbered and powerful, and all of them are desperadoes, fighting to the death.

"Run!"

Zhang Cheng turned around and shouted while fighting.

"Don't worry about those rats! It's important to rush out of the city gate with all your strength!"

He chopped down a government officer with one knife, knocked down a soldier with one punch, and killed many people with heads rolling.

Zhao Si was held back by the rebels and saw that the enemy was about to rush out of the city gate.

"Damn it, I can't catch up..."

He gritted his teeth and only regretted that he did not bring more troops.

On the other side, Qin Zhen led his army into the county in a mighty manner.

"Prince Chu! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Li Xing roared loudly, and the three of them met in front of the county government office.

"General Qin! You came at just the right time!"

Chu Ze was ecstatic and held Qin Zhen's hand tightly.

"The gang of traitors in the Zhang Mansion have already gone to the west gate!"

"Hmph, how can we let them escape! The entire army will obey the order and set out immediately to destroy the rebels!"

Qin Zhen shouted an order, and thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city gate like a violent storm.

Chu Ze and Qin Zhen led their troops in hot pursuit, but they were still a step too slow. They watched helplessly as the gang of traitors in Zhang Mansion rushed out of the west gate and ran farther and farther away.

"Report——!" A scout came over on Pegasus and shouted: "Your Majesty, General! There are two groups of enemy soldiers ahead that have joined the Zhang Mansion!"

"What?!" Chu Ze suddenly changed his color and shouted angrily: "How many people are there?"

The scout wiped his cold sweat and replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the prince, my subordinates estimate that there are at least five thousand people!"

"Five thousand?!" Qin Zhen's expression changed when he heard this, and he muttered: "Including our original troops, they are only over 13,000!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth, a fierce light flashed in his eyes and said: "Bitch thief! I've been prepared for it!"

He looked around and saw that the enemy army had spread out a long snake formation, with a fierce momentum and murderous intent.

"General, with this attitude, if you rush into the battle rashly, even if you can win, you will probably lose three to five thousand people!"

Qin Zhen nodded, frowning, and fell into deep thought.

Li Xing said from the side: "Your Majesty, how about we stay put and send scouts to investigate?"

Zhao Si also echoed: "Yes! Only by finding out the true and false status of the enemy's army can we make a decision."

Chu Ze stared ahead, his eyes gradually becoming firmer. "That's all we can do. Li Xing, quickly select a group of capable scouts to explore the enemy's left and right sides. Be careful!"

"No!" Li Xing accepted the order and immediately called over a dozen elite scouts to quietly go around to the enemy's flank.

"Prince Chu, I think the enemy is well prepared and must have been planning for a long time. I'm afraid it won't be possible to make a quick victory today!"

Qin Zhen frowned, obviously also in trouble.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Ze's mouth: "No matter how cunning the dog thief is, he can't defeat us."

"I want to see how many more cards Zhang Cheng has hidden!"

He glanced at the enemy formation coldly and made plans secretly.

It turned out that they had learned from the prisoners that the former prince who was behind the Zhang Mansion was a Han. It was indeed hateful that a Han was still working for the Yuan Dynasty.

"That guy Zhang Cheng must be trying to delay time, waiting for reinforcements, or waiting for an opportunity to escape."

"The formation has been laid out on the opposite side. If we rush for success, we will lose the lives of soldiers in vain!"

"But if we wait blindly, I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity and give the enemy a chance to breathe."

Chu Ze weighed his options, frowning, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Qin Zhen saw his embarrassment and patted him on the shoulder.

"Prince Chu, as things stand now, it's better for us to wait for work."

"As long as we guard tightly and don't let a single enemy soldier escape, we will surely slowly deplete their morale!"

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled in relief.

"General Qin is really impressed! In that case, let's have a protracted battle to see who has the last laugh!"

He ordered sternly: "Go down with the order, set up camp where you are, strictly monitor, and don't move without permission!"

"Promise!" The generals took the order and began to direct the soldiers to build camps and strengthen defenses.

Zhao Si said with a worried look on his face: "But Your Majesty, if the enemy suddenly escapes, won't we delay the opportunity to fight?"

"Don't worry." Chu Ze said confidently: "With General Qin in charge, those rabble can't make any trouble!"

"We have much more cavalry than the enemy. They will die faster if they run away."

Qin Zhen also smiled and said: "Zhao Si, don't worry so much. Just lead people to defend the east gate, and leave the rest to me!"

"Here!" Zhao Si nodded and bowed, and hurriedly took the order.

Just as the army began to garrison, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp.

"There is a situation!"

"The enemy is invading!"

A guard rushed into Chu Ze's camp in panic.

"Your Majesty! The enemy...the enemy sent someone to send a letter, asking you to meet him in person!"

Chu Ze and Qin Zhen looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sending a letter? That bitch Zhang Cheng, what does this mean?"

Chu Ze frowned, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Someone, bring me in!"

"promise!"

After a while, a sandalwood box was carefully placed in front of the case.

Chu Ze opened it and saw a letter lying quietly inside.

He picked up the letter and after reading a few lines, his face suddenly darkened.

"Asshole! That's so presumptuous!"

He threw the letter on the table and cursed angrily.

When Qin Zhen saw this, he quickly stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but change his color.

"What?! He Zhang Cheng actually asked to meet with you alone to "discuss surrender"?!"

"Bah!" Chu Ze spat and sneered again and again: "Does this bitch think I am a three-year-old child?"

"If he really wants to surrender, he can just bring people over. Why is there any need for 'secret talks'?"

"This is obviously the Hongmen Banquet, trying to take advantage of it! Humph, it's a dream!" (End of Chapter)
