Twenty-three Battle

  Hu Wei gazed at the refugees holding bamboo spears outside the camp, his mouth curled up, revealing a contemptuous expression. He had previously thought that some official soldiers had come to surround and annihilate him, but unexpectedly they were just some ignorant refugees who didnt know their place. He couldnt help but look down on them a bit, and he gave a signal with his eyes to a sharp soldier beside him.

  Rui Bing nodded, understood in his heart, returned to the camp, led a fast horse, jumped up, held a white flag in his hand, and galloped out of the camp with a whip.

  A swift horse came flying into the bandit camp, Liu Ce walked to Han Fengs side and whispered a few words in his ear, then grasped his spear and strode to the forefront. Han Feng calmly drew an arrow from behind his back and nocked it on his shortbow...

  "Hmph, I thought you were someone, but its just a group of refugees." The swift horse stopped about ten steps in front of Liu Ce, and the sharp soldier on the horse clearly saw the appearance of the refugees in front of him. There were only 7 or 8 soldiers with decent armor and helmets, and they looked at them with disdain, saying what was on their minds without any reserve.

  "You guys are really bold, thinking of attacking our camp? I think youre tired of living!" The sharp soldier rode his horse back and forth, pulling the reins, with a very arrogant attitude. "My General Hu said that those who surrender will be spared, otherwise dont blame us for being ruthless and shedding blood like rivers."

  Liu Ces eyes were icy cold, and he didnt say a word, as if he was looking at a dead person.

  "Cant you hear me? Are you going to surrender or not?" The sharp soldier, seeing Liu Ze hadnt responded for a long time, grew impatient and bellowed fiercely.

  Liu Ce raised his long spear and pointed at the sharp soldier who was shouting on horseback, still not saying a word. The sharp soldier saw this and didnt bother to say anything else, just about to turn his horses head back to camp, when a sharp breaking air sound came, before he could even react, an arrow pierced through his neck, slowly falling off the horses back, eyes wide open, full of unwillingness and shock...

  A series of gasping sounds echoed through the crowd, and Han Feng expressionlessly put away his bow, letting out a cold laugh.

  "You stinky little brat, when two armies are at war, you dont kill the messenger. Youre not following the rules!" Feng Chouyan arrived by Liu Ces side with his long axe, expressing his discontent, although he too was itching to chop this arrogant guy in half.

  "Who are you to negotiate with?" Liu Ce turned his head and looked at Feng Qiu Nian as if he was looking at a fool, then loudly shouted: "Can they be considered soldiers? Are they worthy of discussing terms with me? Remember! They are just a group of bandits, who have brought ruin and devastation to this land, causing families to be torn apart and people to become homeless!"

  The impassioned speech spread throughout the refugee camp, with everyone listening in rapt attention. Yang Youhua secretly admired him: "This Liu brother has great momentum, and its good that Im no longer a member of the vagabond gang."

  Feng Xuans face turned bright red with anger, but he couldnt refute Liu Zes words. Thinking about it, there was some truth to it. He went over and led the horse of the sharp soldier over, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and kicked it: "You got off easy! If you had fallen into my hands, you wouldnt have died so easily."

  "Despicable!" Hu Weis eyes saw the sharp soldier shot down to the ground, and he heavily slapped his palm on a watchtower. The watchtower made a slight cracking sound, "Pass down the order, attack with all your might, leave no one alive!"

  The thieves inside the camp picked up their weapons and rushed towards Liu Ce in a swarm.

  "Bandits are bandits, no matter how many years pass, even a hundred years later, theyre still just bandits." Liu Ce had thought that after the bandit army broke through Gaoyang City, their tactics would be different from before, at least they should have learned to march and form battle arrays. But Liu Ce overestimated their level, looking at the bandits who were completely without formation, he shook his head and raised his left hand.

  "Defend!" Yang Kai-shan saw Liu Ces gesture and immediately shouted loudly, the forty refugees in a row held up their square shields in front of their chests, the front row of troops stood with sharpened bamboo spears at the opening of the shields, tensely staring at the rolling bandits, constantly panting heavily.

  "Dont worry, wait until the bandit comes closer, just poke him a few times with your bamboo spear and youll be fine." Chen Qing, who was also in the migrant army, encouraged a man next to him who was shaking all over, "Its nothing serious, didnt you see that sharp soldier earlier? He fell down with just one arrow..." Under Chen Qings encouragement, the mans mood gradually improved.

  "Hmm~" "Pffft~"

  Han Feng saw the bandits approaching, calculated the range of his bow and arrow, and shot down one of the bandits holding a short knife with an arrow. He then drew another arrow and aimed at another bandit, releasing the string again, shooting down another...

  The bandits were only a few dozen steps away, and Liu Zhan and others also joined the ranks of the refugees, holding guns (axes) ready to fight.

  "Kill!" Er Gou was eager to prove himself, his eyes red with excitement as he charged towards the refugees in front of him. He had been fighting for the sharp soldier treatment until now, and finally got this opportunity, so he naturally went all out. Remembering the humiliation Sun San had inflicted on him that morning, Er Gou vowed to climb over his head...

  "Hold up the shield!" Yang Kai shouted again, gripping the Ghost Head Knife tightly and staring intently at the target a few steps away. Then, the frontmost shield and the bandit collided...

  A loud crash of bodies hitting the wooden boards echoed through the battlefield, and the refugees in the front row were almost knocked over. Fortunately, the refugees in the back rows used their shields to hold back the crowd that was about to collapse, and they managed to push it back up.

  "Thrust!" Liu Ce shouted loudly, and in the instant when the shield wall pushed the bandits back, dozens of emerald green bamboo spears darted out from the gaps in the shields like venomous snakes, mercilessly piercing the bodies of the bandits. Instantly, blood flowers burst forth, and many bandits were stabbed in the chest, face, and other vital areas.

  A bandit was just knocked back by a shield, almost fell down but was pushed back by the continuous flow of bandits behind him, and happened to collide with a bamboo spear that had come over, his entire left chest was pierced. The bandit looked at the bamboo spear inserted into his body, his face incredulous, and immediately let out an inhuman howl.

  Another bandit was pierced through the forehead by a bamboo spear coming straight at him, and red and white pulp splattered all over the ground...

  Another bandit, facing the incoming bamboo spear, skillfully raised his knife to block the fatal blow, but was pushed from behind by another bandit, and with a stumble, he was pierced through the throat by the spear tip...

  "Retreat!" Liu Ce shouted loudly, kicking open the corpse of the bandit in front of him, pulling out his long spear. The refugees immediately placed their shields on top of the corpses, pulling out the bamboo spears that had been thrust into the bandits bodies. Those bandits who were not yet dead fell to the ground, groaning incessantly, and the hairs on the back of Liu Ces head stood on end as he heard the sound of more bandits charging from behind.

  "Defend!" Yang Kais roar sounded again as he drew his gun in an instant.

  A man had just raised his shield when a long knife came slashing towards his forehead. The man hastily pulled his head back, and the knife was stopped by the shield at a distance of less than one centimeter from his head, leaving him shocked and covered in cold sweat.

  "Charge!" Liu Ce gave another order, and dozens of bamboo spears shot out again, bringing up waves of blood flowers...

  The people in the back of the array saw the scene in front of them and couldnt help but let out a series of even heavier gasps. A thought flashed through their minds: Liu Ze, the little brother, is awesome! It turns out that we can really kill the bandits... The few men who had intended to escape at the sight of the unfavorable situation gave up on the idea, and some peoples hearts were boiling with hot blood, eager to rush forward and kill a few bandits immediately.

  "Top!" "Pierce!"

  As Yang Kai-shan and Liu Ce shouted orders one after another, more than a hundred bandits had fallen to the ground in front of them. On their side, except for a civilian who was injured by a short spear due to a broken shield strap, no one else died. The outcome of this battle made everyone and those old soldiers marvel, especially Sun Cheng and Yang Fan, who suddenly felt that they seemed to have some kind of insurmountable gap with Liu Ce. Chen Qing and Guo Tao, on the other hand, thought it was within their expectations, but being able to turn civilians who had never seen blood into such a fighting force was beyond their expectations...

  The bandits saw the army formed by the refugees in front of them like an insurmountable high wall, and the bamboo spears were harvesting their lives like a god of death, making peoples hearts fearful. Someone suddenly dropped their weapon and let out a terrifying cry, turned around and ran away, and the rest of the bandits retreated in disorder.

  "Dont run! Stop! Halt for General Hu!" As he saw hundreds of refugees rushing towards his formation, Hu Wei shouted loudly on horseback, but the frightened refugees paid no attention and continued to rush forward in a panic.

  "One step further, and you will be killed without mercy!" Hu Kui threatened with his knife, but he was still unable to stop the fleeing bandits.

  "Kill him!" With a single order from Hu Kui, the sharp soldiers killed dozens of fleeing bandits before regaining control of the situation.

  "What a pity." Liu Ce sighed, originally wanting to take advantage of the fleeing bandits chaotic retreat to launch a surprise attack, but he had overestimated those bandits and could only give up.

  "Second Dog, you scoundrel!" Seeing Second Dog crawling on the ground with a dejected look, his face covered in dust.
