Counterattack

Lingnan Frontier Army Camp.

At this moment, it is Shen hour, the long night is about to pass, and dawn is coming quietly.

There is a glimmer of light in the sky, brewing the meaning of day, and above the earth are endless fortresses.

The total number of frontier troops was 100,000, but they were scattered in three camps in the south of Lingnan. This was one of the camps.

But seeing the soldiers in armor standing as strong as iron, a chilling air filled the air.

Suddenly, the originally peaceful camp seemed to be thundering on the ground, and suddenly random horses roared, and the sturdy soldiers wrapped in fine armor rushed towards the commander's tent, slashing at their comrades with sharp blades, and kept shouting:

"General Cao acted in accordance with the secret order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The traitorous general Chen Liang colluded with the Baiyue tribe and plotted evil. They will be executed immediately to rectify the people's hearts and the society! Don't ask anyone else!"

These people were obviously well prepared. They swarmed in, killed all the guards on the outside, and then rushed directly into the commander's tent, slashing at random with their swords.

It was unlucky to say that Chen Liang, the commander of the military camp, heard the noise and was drowsy. He didn't know what was going on in the outside world. Just after scolding him a few times, he saw Cao Jiuyun's soldiers coming with swords and looking at him with a ferocious and friendly smile.

"What are you going to do!? This general is a second-grade Dinglu Zhenbian general. You want to rebel but you can't!"

Chen Liang saw that something was wrong, so he immediately woke up, used his strength and sword in hand to confront these people.

However, what greeted him was only a cold light, and in an instant, a fierce wave of soldiers surged in.

As a military general, Chen Liang's kung fu honed in the battlefield was not bad, and he had the skills of the Dragon-Wandering Realm. However, it was difficult for him to stop the enemies with his fists. He was covered in blood and fought his way out of the siege.

However, when he walked out of the commander's tent, he saw that he had already been surrounded.

Cao Jiuyun was riding on a horse, holding a yellow silk imperial edict, with a stern look: "Chen Liang, as a general of the imperial court, you have received the emperor's favor without thinking of repaying it, and you dare to collude with Baiyue to rebel. You must be punished! This general of the camp is worthy of death.

Officer, anyone who colludes with you, Chen Liang, will be punished by this general on the spot, and you can arrest them without restraint!"

Chen Liang was so angry that his back molars were broken, "You are talking nonsense, someone is slandering me, I want to go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit and tell the truth!"

"I'm afraid you have no chance, kill!" Cao Jiuyun waved his hand.

A torrent of soldiers came. Although Chen Liang carried a steel blade and killed several people in a row, his personal bravery was nothing compared to thousands of troops. Soon he exhausted the energy in his Dantian and became exhausted.

, was submerged in the fierce pile of soldiers.

Seeing this, Cao Jiuyun dismounted, found Chen Liang's tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and matched it with the other half of the tiger talisman he had forged, with a trace of pride on his lips.

The tiger talisman originally has two sides, one half is in the hands of the general, and the other half is in the military department. It can only be effective if the two sides can fit together, but for the Mingting Cult, it is not difficult to make fake tiger talisman soldiers.

"Although the traitor Chen Liang has been killed, he is not the one who conspired against him. The entire battalion of soldiers is now under the command of my general. Lieutenant Fan Lang will immediately count the troops and horses in his headquarters and follow the general. If there is anyone who does not obey, he will be punished.

Punished for treason!"

Cao Jiuyun held up his forged imperial edict in one hand and picked up the complete tiger talisman in the other hand.

The imperial edict and the tiger talisman are both there, representing the court's order. Even if someone questions it, who dares to say anything at this juncture.

He immediately mobilized his troops and rushed towards another camp.

The camp where Chen Liang is located belongs to the main camp of the border army. The tiger talisman in his hand can mobilize the entire Lingnan border army. As long as he follows the same pattern and seizes military power, he can send troops to capture the pass on the north side of Lingnan and block this important link with the outside world.

aisle.

Soon, he successfully took over the military power of the second camp and led tens of millions of troops to the third camp, which was also a military camp stationed at the three passes of Lingnan.

However, as soon as Cao Jiuyun arrived with a large army, he saw that the army in the camp had set up a formation, relying on Xiongguan to set up defenses, and pointed their weapons, bows and crossbows at Cao Jiuyun's army.

"Bold, this general is Cao Jiuyun, the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army. I have been commissioned by His Majesty to kill the traitors and traitors in the army, clean up the internal troubles, and take over the defense of the three passes. Do you want to rebel?"

Cao Jiuyun saw that the formation was not right, so he used his true energy to strengthen his voice and shouted loudly.

The two armies looked at each other from a distance, and saw a dignified and charming woman walking out of the opposite military camp. She also held an imperial edict in her hand and said with a disdainful smile: "Uncle Cao Guo of the Mingting Sect, your ability to confuse right and wrong is really true.

No way."

At the same time as Cao Jiuyun launched his attack, Chu Yunsheng and others, who were traveling by land and galloping on horseback, also rushed to Lingnan and handed the real imperial edict into the hands of the garrison generals.

If he had taken even less of a step, Cao Jiuyun might have succeeded in his conspiracy.

At first, the general was dubious, but then a scout came to report and found that a large army was coming from the south, and it was not acting under the banner of Chen Liang. Cao Jiuyun, who was supposed to be the deputy general, claimed to be the current commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army.

, acting suspiciously.

"There is indeed a ghost!"

He immediately ordered the formation to be set up, and the two armies faced each other to prevent Cao Jiuyun's troops from getting close.

Cao Jiuyun frowned slightly. He didn't know how the news of the Mingting Sect's rebellion was so concealed and leaked out. But now that the arrow was on the string, he didn't care so much. He continued to insist on his character of punishing thieves and sent troops to attack and seize Xiongguan in Lingnan.

In order to block the subsequent troops of the imperial court.

The war is about to break out!

And in Guangfu City, it's night.

The governor of Lingnan had just received Xia Liang and Chen Wanjun, as well as the naval generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had followed them.

"You guys take what you say seriously, this is no small matter." The governor confirmed again and again.

Although the Baiyue tribe in Lingnan was once extremely arrogant and unruly, under the guidance of De Mu in the Tang Dynasty, they have become very honest and obedient. Occasionally, they will be beheaded by the border troops.

The head hangs on the city gate.

Since he took office, he has not experienced any major events at all. His policies focus on people's livelihood management. He was shocked for a while, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

But at this time, the chaos in the city continued, and someone came to report: "Sir Governor, there is a riot in the city. About three thousand people are heading towards the arsenal!"

The arsenal is a very important place in the city where weapons and equipment are stored.

Hearing this, Han Xiao immediately realized that something was wrong and exclaimed: "Oops, this means that the Mingting Sect's actions are ahead of schedule!"

"This... what should we do?" The governor was anxious.

But Xia Baolan smiled softly and nodded to Chen Wanjun and Gao Xing beside him.

"These three thousand people are just an appetizer. It is estimated that the army of the Underworld Sect is already on the way. Let's go, let's show our skills to the governor."

He clapped his hands happily, full of expectation, "Master, I have been practicing in my room these days, just waiting for this opportunity to perform. Although these three thousand people are just appetizers, you can't compete with me.

You didn't allow me to take action against those people last time, how boring that would be."

Xia Liang said: "Okay, let's see how capable you are."

Jumping up happily, eager to try.
