Chapter 1988: Rise of the War God (Jingkong Arc) (Part 2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Zhou Chongyue, the rebel leader.It’s said that this person possesses extraordinary strength, exceptional martial skills, and both courage and strategy. In less than a year, he expanded an unruly rebel force into an army of twenty thousand soldiers.
To take his head is easier said than done.
Fortunately, not long ago, scouts reported that Zhou Chongyue was injured badly in a military training accident when he fell off his horse and was trampled by the horse’s hooves.
This is the best opportunity to strike a serious blow to Zhou Chongyue.
Guo Mang solemnly looked at the crowd and said, "I know this mission is difficult, but it is our only way out; Zhou Chongyue is injured. If we don’t kill him now, we’ll never have another chance! Once he recovers and leads an attack against us, we won’t be able to resist at all! No, we won’t have to wait until that day, we’ll starve and freeze to death here. We’re all going to die anyway, so why not die on the battlefield? Killing one is worth it! Killing two is a bargain! At least in the Underworld, we won’t have failed our ancestors! We won’t have wasted our lives walking this earth!"
To ordinary people, these words might mean nothing, but to every soldier who is loyal to their country, it undoubtedly ignites their last ember of fighting spirit.
They are not afraid to die.
What they fear is dying without honor.
...
The snow was falling even harder, perfect weather for a sneak attack.
It’s unlikely that the rebels even in their dreams would expect the Cang Continent army, so famished their chests stick to their backs, to launch a night raid on a snowy night like this.
This is sheer madness.
Guo Mang carefully selected the one hundred soldiers with the strongest combat power. None of them had dinner, with the last bits of grass roots and horse meat given to these one hundred warriors.
In tonight’s battle, it’s do or die.
After filling their stomachs slightly, Guo Mang personally led the one hundred soldiers out, appointing Lin Fuzhuang as the ready commander before they left. If he didn’t return, Lin Fuzhuang would continue to lead the fight.
The group rode their horses, braving the goose feather-like snow, and vanished into the night.
They took a detour through the woods to the east, crossed the frozen lake, and arrived at the right flank of the rebel camp.
Everything progressed smoothly.
They left their horses in the woods, and Guo Mang led the team to quietly infiltrate the enemy camp.
At this moment, the unexpected occurred.
Suddenly, many archers sprang out from all around, drew their bows in unison, and surrounded them completely.
Guo Mang’s face changed!
Following this, arrogant laughter echoed from behind, the archers automatically opened a path, and a man in his thirties, wearing armor, burly and tall, with a bushy beard, walked toward Guo Mang with large strides.
He stopped ten steps away from Guo Mang.
Seeing clearly, Guo Mang was dumbfounded: "Zhou Chongyue?"
Not good, it’s a trap!
Zhou Chongyue wasn’t injured at all; he deliberately released false information to lure them into an ambush!
Although the rebels have more soldiers and ample supplies, which gives them a high chance of winning a fight, Guo Mang isn’t easy prey either, he’s skilled in defense; otherwise, Zhou Chongyue would have taken them down a long time ago!
Zhou Chongyue laughed and said, "General Guo, it wasn’t easy to draw you here. But don’t be hasty, hear me out. Zhou admires General Guo greatly; if General Guo is willing to surrender to me, I assure you not only will I spare your life, but I will protect your troops too. The official road is buried in snow; you must be very hungry after so many days? Coincidentally, I have good food and wine to treat General Guo and everyone!"
After he spoke, he clapped his hands.
From behind the archers, a row of cooks from the Defense Camp came over carrying fire pits and several roast whole lambs.
The aroma of lamb mixed with the sesame crispiness made the already hungry Cang Continent soldiers drool instantly.
Guo Mang also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhou Chongyue laughed and made a gesture: "General Guo, please don’t stand on ceremony."
Guo Mang looked at the roast whole lamb, sizzling with oil, his eyes glazed over; he drooled and dazedly walked towards the roast whole lamb.
Zhou Chongyue smiled with satisfaction.
But just as they were about to brush past, Guo Mang suddenly lunged forward with a sword aimed at Zhou Chongyue!
Zhou Chongyue’s expression changed drastically!
Luckily, he reacted swiftly, clutching Guo Mang’s wrist in time.
Guo Mang was too hungry, his strength couldn’t be fully exerted, otherwise that strike would have succeeded!
"General Guo, it seems you’re refusing the wine of respect only to drink the wine of punishment!" Zhou Chongyue sneered coldly, kicking Guo Mang in the chest, knocking both Guo Mang and his sword onto the snowfield.
The other Cang Continent soldiers, realizing this, also quickly regained their composure, drew their swords at the waist, and charged towards Zhou Chongyue.
