From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 102: Thousands of Troops Arrive in the Rain (Please Subscribe)
The quartermaster was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Captain Wu, you..."

Before he finished speaking, the swordsman took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "These prisoners have already been frightened. Captain Wu's shouting will inevitably make them feel afraid."

"That's right, if it were us, he would definitely say it was us!"

"Captain Wu, we all know you are brave, but there is no need to take credit for it. Even without this achievement, your Fire Armor Army's Chen Battalion is still at the forefront."

These retainers certainly knew that they had gotten a good deal, but who could blame the quartermaster for only seeing them? Seeing is believing, and any explanation from the Chen Camp before this would be pale and powerless.

That’s why I can be so confident.

Wu Fengdeng looked around coldly, then patted Li Qun on the shoulder and said, "Do you remember the messenger?"

Li Qun was slightly startled, and then suddenly remembered.

"Remember!"

"Please come here."

"Here!"

Since the prisoners of war are not convincing, the testimony of the herald should at least count, right?

Seeing that Wu Fengdeng could find the flaw so rationally, many of the Lu Mansion's followers immediately cried out inwardly that something was not good, and the swordsman in the front also gave a dry cough.

"Haha, Captain Wu, why do you have to mobilize so many troops? The messenger is busy with many things, so it's not appropriate to bother him."

"Since you, the Chen Camp, want this credit so much, then we will give it to you. After all, we are all brothers, haha."

"Farewell!"

He said some high-sounding words, pretending to be magnanimous, and then was about to leave.

However, how could Wu Fengdeng swallow this? He waved his hand, and the people from the Chen Camp behind him immediately understood what he meant and blocked the door.

"We don't want any of ours, but we can't take any less of what belongs to us."

"Don't worry, everyone. Once the herald arrives, the truth will be revealed."

When Wu Fengdeng's cold words were heard, the temperature in the surroundings seemed to drop by several degrees in an instant, making the other soldiers feel something was wrong, and the guests in Lu's mansion looked even more solemn.

"Captain Wu, this is not good. Why make things so awkward? Prime Minister Lu asked us to join the war to make achievements, not to waste time here with you."

When the swordsman's servant saw that the situation was serious, he had no choice but to move Lu Buwei out.

Looking at the Qin State, let alone the Fire Armor Army, even Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others would not choose to be enemies with Lu Buwei, let alone Wu Fengdeng, a small captain.

However, what shocked him was that Wu Fengdeng had no expression on his face and didn't care at all. He just said coldly: "Prime Minister Lu is powerful and influential, a senior official of the Qin Dynasty. He is willing to serve the country and is a role model."

"You are confusing the public today and trying to claim military merit. Isn't that discrediting him?"

"It would be unpleasant to hear you say that."

The person who spoke was another person, who was Lao Ai, who had been watching from the sidelines and had to step in when he saw that the situation was not right.

Wu Fengdeng glanced at him calmly, then he walked up to him, picked up a jade badge in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "I am the lieutenant appointed by Prime Minister Lu, and my military rank is half a level higher than yours!"

"What happened today may be a misunderstanding. If you bring it up with Prime Minister Lu, you must be responsible for your words!"

Lao Ai was an expert at flattery. With just a few words, he made Wu Fengdeng bear the crime of slandering Lu Xiang, leaving the surrounding soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this guy from a famous family? He is throwing dirty water at me like that."

"Alas, I can only say that Captain Wu is too young. Why did he have to drag Prime Minister Lu into this? Now he has been caught by someone."

"At this point, we have no choice but to admit defeat. Regardless of whether they are claiming the title in vain or not, if we continue like this, we will offend the Prime Minister."

"These worms are disgusting!"

……

The whispers were as soft as the sounds of mosquitoes. The guests in Lu's mansion just smiled coldly when they heard them. They didn't care much and even seemed very satisfied and proud.

Being blessed by the Prime Minister makes me much nobler than those of you who play with your lives!
"Since you are the king's personal attendant, I will not argue with you today. Let's just forget about this matter and pretend it never happened!"

Lao Ai saw that the time was right and offered a way out, but Wu Fengdeng said disdainfully: "You are nothing."

"Today, every one of you will be punished. Don't even think about getting away with it!"

"grown ups!"

Li Qun finally arrived with the messenger. The latter just took a look at the confrontation and understood the situation, then directly picked up the military merit book on the table.

Then he flew into a rage: "Nonsense! The people who broke through the west gate and captured 200 Han soldiers were clearly from the Chen Camp! How did you put it on the Lu Mansion's private army!"

The quartermaster was so frightened by the roar that he knelt down in panic, his face turning pale instantly.

"I...maybe I saw it wrong."

"Did you see it wrong? How can you be the commander-in-chief of the war?"

"Damn the little ones, damn the little ones!"

Those who can become the general's messenger are his absolute personal followers. Although they have the same military rank, their status is very different.

The commotion here also caused Wu Fengdeng to feel dead silent and solemn.

The soldiers were shocked, Lao Ai and others had gloomy expressions, and you and I looked at each other with frowns on our faces.

They had done many things like this, picking fruits and stealing credit from other troops, but they never thought it would be so serious as this time!

Is Wu Fengdeng really trying to make things difficult for us?

"Li Qun, what is the crime for falsely claiming military merit?"

"Your Excellency, those who falsely claim military merits shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane according to the law. If it is serious, they shall be beheaded!"

"Tied."

"Here!"

Everyone in the Chen camp showed ferocious looks and rushed forward.

Damn it, I've disliked them for a long time!
歘欻欻~
Instantly, the servants of the Lu Mansion drew their swords and prepared for battle. Lao Ai gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Fengdeng, why are you so tense? Do you want to be an enemy of our Lu Mansion?"

"If you refuse to obey the law, your crime will be even more serious."

Wu Fengdeng stepped forward with cold words, pressing forward step by step, making Lao Ai and the others so angry that their faces turned blue.

"How arrogant! I am a retainer of Prime Minister Lu. How can I allow you soldiers to ride on my head?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the swordsman's servant shouted angrily and tried to escape with a few people.

But just as they turned around and ran a few steps, they suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blowing towards them!
The swordsman's follower's field of vision suddenly rose, and then the world spun around, and a bloody vision spread.

The last scene freezes on the five headless bodies that fell to the ground, and the warm blood on the bodies of the nearby soldiers.

They froze, dumbfounded. The sudden change made it impossible for them to react, but then the pungent smell of blood quickly brought them back to their senses.

In front of him, Wu Fengdeng's spear was still dripping with scarlet blood, looking alluring and dangerous.

The soldiers were filled with shock and their breathing became tense. They couldn't believe that Wu Fengdeng had killed five people so easily!
These are all the retainers of Lu Mansion and the men of Prime Minister Lu Buwei!

I thought that this farce would at most result in one party being punished, and I never thought that Wu Fengdeng would kill with such thundering means!

Even the messenger who had just delivered the order was stunned. He forced himself to swallow his saliva and hurried away.

"How dare you kill someone!"

Lao Ai's roar was deafening.

Wu Fengdeng pointed his spear at them and said loudly: "You have falsely claimed military merit, disobeyed the law, and fled for fear of punishment. You deserve to die for all three crimes."

"If you also want to test whether Wu's spear is sharp, you can take a step forward."

"You should be punished for slaughtering your comrades..."

puff!
One of them wanted to argue, but after taking only half a step forward, his head was knocked off by Wu Fengdeng in an instant.

The blood-stained spears hummed continuously, instantly making the many guests silent. Their long-standing pride collapsed at this moment, and they dared not utter a single sound.

"Tied!"

"Here!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the retainers dared not even fart, and were finally tied up by the Chen Camp. Some of them were even kicked hard, which finally gave the Chen Camp soldiers a chance to vent their anger.

Even Lao Ai was so angry that his lungs almost exploded when he saw his men being captured like this.

When he looked at Wu Fengdeng again, the extreme sense of crisis made him dare not say anything, and he could only swallow it hard.

I originally thought that Wu Fengdeng was just a strong fighter, and he would still be able to behave clearly and be a little cautious in front of the Lu family.

But no one would have expected that he would be so ruthless in killing the guests of Lu's mansion, simply killing for the sake of killing.

Just because they stole their credit?
I used to do this often, but I’ve never seen anyone take it so seriously!
……

noon.

At the gate of the county government office.

"Wu Jianqing, Fei Liao and 28 other followers of Lu's residence falsely claimed military merits. According to the law, they will be punished with 50 strokes of the cane!"

"Supervising General Zhang Di mistakenly recorded his military achievements, causing great disaster, and he shall be beheaded!"

"Wu Fengdeng, the captain of the Fire Armor Army, killed his comrades without authorization. Since the Chen Battalion he led was falsely credited with military merits, and the murderer was suspected of escaping punishment, it is excusable, so he will be given a lighter punishment of ten lashes."

The loud voice spread throughout the crowd, and all eyes were focused on the people at the door.

Zhang Di shouted for mercy, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being torn apart, with blood splattering into the sky.

The twenty-two retainers were tied up very tightly, and they screamed in agony as the thick stick fell on them, making everyone's eyelids tremble.

Even if they were warriors, fifty hits from such a thick stick would keep them out of bed for half a month, and they would have completely missed the war.

Cool!
The soldiers just felt great!
These retainers who usually looked down on everyone finally suffered a punishment. Even the executioners put in all their strength, fearing that they would not be able to kill them.

As for the remaining Wu Fengdeng, everyone looked at him with admiration and pity. Even the man holding the whip couldn't bear it and whispered, "Captain Wu, bear with it."

Before he could wave his hand, there was a commotion among the crowd. Two hundred and forty-six men from the Chen camp rushed out, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison to Zhang Ping who was inside the gate of the county government office.

"We are willing to take the punishment for Master Wu!"

How could they not be moved and follow wholeheartedly when someone is willing to risk punishment and offend the prime minister in order to gain military merit for his subordinates?
With a boss like this, why worry about a bright future? !

The sound echoed in the sky, and finally attracted the attention of the generals inside the gate. Among them, Guo Huan felt proud.

Give me face!

"Go down."

Wu Fengdeng said lightly.

slap~
Even though the ten lashes were light, they left blood marks all over Wu Fengdeng's back. However, these injuries were only as minor as mosquito bites to him.

He didn't care, but Qing Dai felt distressed and sighed repeatedly. While applying the medicine, she said, "Master Wu, you get injured every other day. You really don't take your body seriously."

……

Xinzheng, South Korea.

In the dark prison cell, Han Fei sat quietly against the wall, his long hair loose and his eyes dull. He had turned halfway through the military book in his hand and could no longer concentrate on reading.

Although he was not put in shackles or chains this time in prison, and the cell was equipped with a soft bed, bookshelf, etc., just like being outside, he still felt extremely heavy.

As the saying goes, honest advice hurts. I watched with my own eyes as my father was coerced by treacherous ministers and repeatedly did stupid things. Even as a prince, I was unable to change anything and was instead thrown into prison.

Ironic, really ironic.

"Hey, Your Highness, are you bored?"

"Can you tell us why you came here?"

"Your delicate body cannot be piled up with such lousy people like us."

"Would you still like to eat the pork leg on the table... slurp~"

The dishevelled prisoners in the surrounding cells lay on the doors, like stink bugs, rotting and breeding maggots in the darkness.

Han Fei glanced at him sideways, then lowered his handsome face slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, with a few tears falling occasionally.

squeak~
At this time, a beam of light came from the end of the corridor, and six or seven jailers came forward. The head warden bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, your half-month sentence has expired. The king is calling you."

Han Fei nodded slightly and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes when he stood up.

Outside the prison, it was sunset, and the golden light shone on his face, quietly casting a soft halo.

Then several maids began to change his clothes and tie his hair. However, when they looked around, they could not see Uncle Ding except for a few eunuchs and maids.

"Where's General Ding?"

A eunuch said in a deep voice: "Sir, General Ding has not returned to Xinzheng recently for some reason."

Han Fei frowned slightly when he heard this, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Ding Teng has been his servant since he was a child. They have been inseparable for more than ten years. He must be aware of the important event that he is being released from prison today.

Since he didn't come at this time, something unexpected must have happened!
As soon as this thought came to Han Fei's mind, he saw a rider galloping from the city gate, holding a golden scroll in his hand.

This is... a battle report?!

Han Fei's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately chased after him without even bothering to dress up.

In the Xinzheng Palace, a sharp scream pierced the silent sky.

"Report - Qin's army is approaching! Qin's army is approaching! Nanyang needs help!"

……

That night, it rained heavily with strong winds and rain.

On the top of Nanyang City, Ding Teng had already put on a set of rusty armor with many scratches on it, and it looked very old.

His originally hunched back was now straightened, his eyes staring straight into the darkness ahead, with a loud rustling sound in his ears.

"Has the battle report been delivered?"

The deputy generals around him remained silent, and a captain carrying a longbow stepped forward.

"General, the battle report has been delivered to Yangdi Post Station this evening and has been sent to Xinzheng by flying cavalry. It should be delivered now!"

Ding Teng nodded, finally feeling a little comforted: "Deploy, mobilize troops, rush to help, reinforcements will arrive in at least five days."

After saying this, he realized that the voice was quite unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the tall and burly young man in front of him.

"what's your name?"

Without waiting for the man to answer, a deputy general stepped forward and said, "General Ding, this man is called Ji Chang, from Handan, and he learned from Fei Wei. He joined me last month and served as the captain of Shenji. He is a very skilled archer and once shot and killed a seriously injured deputy general of the enemy with one arrow!"

"Ji Chang... not bad."

Ding Teng gave a slight approval.

He had heard of the name Fei Wei, who was an unparalleled archer and had studied Confucian archery for three years. He was well-known in China and rarely accepted disciples. The fact that Ji Chang was able to become his disciple showed how talented he was.

In this battle to defend the city, archers are the most important force. I am lucky to have such talents under my command.

"General!"

At this moment, a soldier shouted and Ding Teng suddenly turned around.

Kaka! !
In an instant, there were flashes of lightning and thunder, and strong lights flashed, and it seemed that thousands of troops were coming in the darkness ahead.
