"Help... cough... cough..."

  In the midst of the raging campfire, countless "human torches" were running wildly in all directions, trying to shake off the flames on their backs. Many bandits rolled around on the ground, but as soon as they put out the fire on their bodies, they were trampled by countless large feet or set ablaze again by other bandits who had fallen to the ground, slowly dying in endless agony...

  The iron armor on the body of the Iron Tiger Army's sharp soldiers was burned to a deep red by the fire, and the scorching hot armor leaves devoured and tore their skin inch by inch until they were finally burned into a pile of white bones and turned to ashes, leaving behind only an eerie and inhuman scream that echoed through the entire plain...

  Outside the camp, countless fleeing bandits trampled over the corpses scattered all over the field, but the fire oil in this strange world was extremely sticky. Once ignited, it spread like a wheat wave blown by the wind, setting off a sea of flames. The corpses on the ground became fuel for the burning fire oil, and some "fire men" who passed by set off sparks that instantly spread across the entire battlefield with a gust of cold wind. Thick smoke shot up into the sky, blocking out the western sun, like a dark night...

  Above Wuliang Town, Wei You and the soldiers guarding the town gazed at the rolling thick smoke for a long time without speaking. At this moment, everyone's mind had one voice echoing repeatedly: This Li Suwen is really ruthless.

  Before long, Li Xiwen slowly stepped onto the city wall and stood behind Wei Yan to watch the result of his own handiwork. The surrounding officers couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw him.

  After a long time, Wei You sighed slowly and said to Li Xiwen: "Su Wen, you are indeed the pride of your family after all. This fire has brought great fame to your Li family, and the revival of the Li family is in sight..."

  Li Xiawen slightly bowed and said: "Thanks to the support of General Lai Weijun, I just did some insignificant little things..."

  Several high-ranking officials around him heard that his eyebrows didn't even wrinkle: a trivial matter? You burned the bandit army to ashes with one move, and it's still a small matter?

  Li Suwen's expression was calm and composed, his emotions not showing on his face. He said to Wei Yan in a light tone: "General, now that Duan Hong has been defeated and the crisis at Wu Liang Town has been lifted, I'm sure there are still brave warriors by his side who will sacrifice themselves to protect their lord. With the rear route cut off at Liu Dao Kou, Duan Hong's remaining troops can only retreat to Gao Yang. I request that you lead a contingent of soldiers and take advantage of this opportunity to pursue Duan Hong, retake Gao Yang along the way, and put an end to the bandit troubles in He Yuan once and for all!"

  "Hmm... This is a serious matter, let me think about it some more."

  Li Suwen bowed and made a gesture of respect. He knew that it wouldn't be long before Wei Wucai would agree, all he had to do was wait quietly.

  ……

  Gong Qing and Lei Meng had already been burned to ashes by the fierce fire along with many other bandits, and the six thousand elite soldiers below were also reduced to nothing. They had originally come on this trip with the task of assassinating Zhang Zhong, but unfortunately, man cannot outsmart heaven, and a great fire not only made it impossible for them to complete their mission in this lifetime, but also took their own lives...

  Ding Jian's face was pitch black from the smoke, his body had a large patch of burns, and blisters covered his entire exposed arm. Looking at the charred corpse faintly visible in the thick fog, as well as the thunderous sounds of the Lei Ting army clashing all around, he felt deep regret.

  "If I can get out of here alive this time, I will definitely go to Jing Tai to join Governor Lin and never be a bandit again." After making up his mind, Ding Jian endured the pain in his arm, tore off a large piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped it around his head, and crawled towards the outside of the battlefield...

  When Duan Hong was chased by the Thunder Army and escaped to Liudao Kou with his men, he was caught up by another branch of the Thunder Army who had been waiting in ambush. The two sides clashed again, splashing countless blood...

  "Bandits! Surrender!" A commander of the third banner of the Thunderbolt Army saw Duan Hong, shouted loudly and rode over, knocking down seven or eight bandits along the way. He held an iron rod spear and aimed directly at Duan Hong's location, with thousands of soldiers closely following behind him, harvesting all the scattered and terrified bandits along the way.

  "Hah!" But the sound of six roads mouth advancing, thousands of soldiers drank in unison, with their own iron armor as blades, those crowded and unarmed bandits were knocked to the ground...

  Duan Hong was so frightened that he turned around and fled on horseback, but by this time the tens of thousands of bandits had completely collapsed and no longer had any courage to turn back and fight to the death with the Thunderbolt Army, instead crowding together in clusters waiting for the Thunderbolt Army to slaughter them.

  ……

  Outside the city of Gaoyang, in front of Yang Kai's formation, thousands of captured bandits were strung together with ropes and beheaded one by one in front of tens of thousands of bandits on the city wall.

  Yang Youhuai rode up to the front, exchanged a few whispers with someone behind him, then galloped to Yang Kai's face and shouted: "General Yang! That's going too far!"

  Yang Kai Shan glanced at the stunned bandits on the city wall with a slanted eye, then loudly said: "My Jingwei Camp is specialized in killing things that are not as good as beasts. Come on, take action!"

  As soon as the words fell, more than a hundred bandits were pierced through their throats by the sharp halberds of the Imperial Guards...

  "Th...th..." Zhang Hui's face turned pale as he watched the scene below, unable to utter a word.

  For the past five or six days, the Meihe Town Jingwei Camp, which originally did not interfere with the river water of Gaoyang City, suddenly launched a surprise attack and directly broke through the Houtu Fort, advancing to the foot of Gaoyang City. All the strongholds of the Shunyi Army along the way were one by one eliminated. Many bandits in the strongholds heard that the Jingwei Camp had arrived and fled into the city overnight, and there was not a single bandit stronghold within 100 miles outside the city.

  "What do you want?" Zhang Hui looked at the city below, where another wave of over a hundred bandits had just been executed, and mustered up the courage to ask the soldiers of the Imperial Guard what their demands were.

  "Open the gate and let us in, otherwise this will be your fate!" Yang Kai Shan said, taking the back of his knife and heavily slapping a bandit's Tian Ling Gai, instantly causing the bandit to bleed from seven orifices and die with a crushed skull.

  "No... it's impossible..." Zhang Hui was so scared that he was trembling all over, and now he finally understood the terrified look on the faces of the refugees and scattered logistics troops who had escaped to the city after Meihe Town was breached. However, asking him to open the city gate was absolutely out of the question.

  "Huh?" Yang Kai Shan glanced at Yang Ke and Guo Tao, then looked at Yang You Huai and Sun Cheng before saying loudly: "Then you just keep watching! Come on, continue the execution! This time you can change your method of killing, the general said that no matter how you kill him, he won't ask, as long as it's not like a madman."

  "Hahaha!" More than 1,700 elite guards burst out laughing, and then one by one, they dragged the bandits to the side, using various methods such as strangulation or throat-slitting on these beasts. One of the elite guards holding an iron brush directly scrubbed a bandit's head with it, instantly followed by a blood-curdling scream, splashing fresh blood all over his face. The repressed dark side of the elite guard was now ruthlessly venting out, and more than 1,000 newly joined guards were strongly suppressing their nausea...

  "It's... it's up to you now, hold on... General Zhang will first... first return to the city lord's manor..." Zhang Hui was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his whole person would collapse, so he left under the escort of his personal soldiers and returned to the manor.

  The figure on the city wall had disappeared, and Yang Kai-shan and others didn't bother to make any more moves, directly ordering people to hastily kill the remaining few thousand bandits, then muttering to himself: "The general should be arriving soon, it's up to them next, I hope Mr. Qin's plan succeeds."

  On the right side of the city wall, over a thousand cavalrymen suddenly appeared on the main road. These cavalrymen were dressed in tattered clothes and their weapons were all sorts of things.

  "Damn it!" Just then, the cavalry arrived at the right side of the building and one of the leaders spat on the ground, pointing at the bandits guarding upstairs and shouted, "Damn it, aren't you opening the door yet? Are you waiting for death?"

  The bandits on the city wall were momentarily stunned, a bandit who looked like a general poked his head out to take a closer look, and saw that the young cavalry leader was sitting on his horse, dusting himself off. Behind him was a bald-headed man who looked like a sharp soldier, and another guy with a sloppy air and a beard covering his face.

  "What kind of people are you?" The bandit leader asked timidly.

  That young bandit leader was furious and scolded loudly: "You ungrateful bastard! Your family's Shi Hong asked me to come from thousands of miles away to help you defend the city, what kind of attitude is this? Is the water boiled yet? Is the rice cooked yet? I've traveled over a thousand miles, exhausting myself to death! Open the city gate quickly!"

  Na Shou listened to him and slightly believed, now in front of the main gate, several thousand elite soldiers are still provoking, these cavalry came just in time, although it can't guarantee to repel the enemy, but it can still boost morale and stabilize the military.

  Although the guard had already believed a bit, he still couldn't open the door easily, so he could only shout loudly to the people below: "Everyone wait for a moment, I'll go ask our leader!"

  "What the f***!" The young cavalryman cursed loudly, "Are you kidding me?! You're just going to leave over a thousand of us hanging here?! Let me tell you, once the gates open, I'll be the first one in and I'll slaughter you, you little brat!"
