Chapter 287: The Three Kingdoms' Conspiracy, the First Appearance of the Musketeers
As flames lit up, countless soldiers from Xu Song, Bei Ming and Qi fell in a pool of blood before they could react.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Yuchun felt as if his chest was hit by a small stone.
His whole body fell backwards involuntarily and lay on the ground.
Before Chang Yuchun could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Gradually, Chang Yuchun's vision became blurred.
All he could see was a vast expanse of white before him.
"I am...about to leave this world..."
Chang Yuchun muttered to himself and slowly closed his eyes.
Before his eyes, his life flashed by slowly like a kaleidoscope.
…
Looking at Chang Yuchun lying on the ground, lifeless, Huo Xiang said with some regret.
"What a pity. I was thinking of exchanging a few moves with you."
"But you deserve it. You plotted against the lord when you were doing nothing."
After saying this, Huo Xiang turned around with his spear in hand and charged towards the fleeing Xu Song army.
And the bursts of fire just now were the attacks launched by Jiang Chen's musketeers!
Faced with the sudden musket attack, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms were all frightened.
"It's thunder from the sky, it's thunder from the sky!"
"Run! These Xia people are sent by God to punish us!"
Just like that, the entire 100,000-strong army scattered like birds in an instant.
They threw down their weapons without hesitation and fled in all directions, leaving their armor and helmets behind.
Looking at the tens of thousands of people fleeing like birds and beasts, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Li Yuanyi."
"I am here, lord, what do you want me to do?"
"Tell Xiang Huo not to chase them. Just kill all the Xu Song troops here!"
"I will obey your orders."
After accepting the order, Li Yuanyi jumped on his horse and rushed towards Huo Xiang's position.
Huo Xiang, who was chasing the defeated soldiers with a spear in his hand, heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and turned around vigilantly.
When he found out that the person coming was Li Yuanyi, he put down the spear in his hand.
"General Xiang Huo, the lord has an order."
"I will order you to lead the troops to stop the Xu Song army. As for the defeated troops of Bei Ming and Qi."
"Just ignore them."
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Huo Xiang nodded.
"I understand. General Li, go back and protect the lord!"
"Leave this to me alone."
After saying that, Huo Xiang turned around and shouted loudly to his subordinates who were chasing their prey.
"Everyone, leave all these Xu Song people who stabbed you in the back behind here!"
Following an order from Prime Minister Huo, 50,000 cavalrymen left behind tens of thousands of allied troops from the two countries.
Then, he turned around and surrounded the remaining 20,000 soldiers of Xu Song.
Seeing the Northern cavalry suddenly turning around and charging towards them, the Xu Song soldiers were frightened out of their wits.
I wish I could grow two more legs so I can escape from here quickly.
The Xu Song army, whose morale was already low, was no match for the 50,000 Northern Border cavalry.
Just a moment later, more than 20,000 nameless corpses appeared on the entire battlefield.
After leaving a few people alive, Huo Xiang brought them back to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, Chang Yuchun's troops have all been annihilated."
"But I still have a few tongues left."
Prime Minister Huo dismounted from his horse and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Well done, I am very satisfied."
"But there's no need to keep these tongues."
"Yuan Hao, kill all these people!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he turned around and looked at Yuan Hao standing beside him.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yuan Hao sneered, drew the sword from his waist and walked over.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was going to kill them without saying a word, several captives quickly begged for mercy loudly.
"Lord Jiang, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
"We are still useful. We know Xu Xiao's plan!"
Hearing what they said, Jiang Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.
It turned out that Jiang Chen said he wanted to kill them just to scare them.
From their mouths, he learned Xu Xiao's original plan.
Now, it has been proven that Xu Xiao was in collusion with Qi State and Bei Ming.
If the 150,000 northern troops behind them wanted to enter the territory of Xu Song, they would definitely be blocked by Xu Xiao.
Therefore, the only ones Jiang Chen can use for the time being are the 50,000 cavalry in front of him.
There are also three thousand guards and five thousand musketeers.
"Very good, then tell us everything you know."
"If you dare to hide anything, I will not be polite."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen exuded a murderous aura.
Feeling the pressure of Jiang Chen's murderous intent, several Xu Song captives spoke hurriedly in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, sir. Don't worry, sir. We don't dare."
…
After several captives told Jiang Chen about Xu Xiao's original plan, the murderous intent in Jiang Chen's eyes slowly faded.
"What a great Xu Xiao, he is actually waiting for me here."
"It seems that I was too soft-hearted towards Xu Song before."
It turns out that the so-called Xu Song being attacked by Qi and Beiming was a huge conspiracy against Jiang Chen!
Behind this huge conspiracy, there is also Yu Anmin’s push.
After learning all this, the little bit of good impression Jiang Chen had for Yu Anmin instantly disappeared.
"My lord, why don't we just fight our way back to the North."
"Mobilize all the troops in the northern border and rebel against Yu Anmin!"
Prime Minister Huo on the side looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression and said with a bow.
Facing Huo Xiang's proposal, Jiang Chen smiled coldly.
"No hurry, since Xu Xiao dared to plot against me."
"It would be too unkind of me not to do something."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and rode on his mount.
"In order to plot against me, Xu Xiao is really willing to spend a lot of money."
"If anyone dares to plot against me , I will make him lose everything he has!"
Hearing this, Huo Xiang and others on the side all had a sharp light flashing in their eyes.
"Northern Border troops, listen to my orders, follow me and destroy the capital of Xu and Song!"
"I'll take your orders!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, 50,000 Northern Border cavalry came like a black tide.
Followed by five thousand musketeers and three thousand bodyguards, they followed behind Jiang Chen and the others.
Galloping towards the direction of the capital of Xu Song!
At the same time, in the capital of Xu Song State, Xu Xiao stood on the top of the city wall, feeling uneasy.
"Why hasn't Chang Yuchun come back yet?!"
"Could it be that our plan has been exposed? This shouldn't be the case..."
Xu Xiao looked at the empty sky and muttered to himself.
Just when Xu Xiao was about to get impatient, a general next to him shouted, pointing in the direction outside the city.
"Lord, Lord, look, General Chang is back!"
Looking in the direction the general pointed, Xu Xiao smiled happily.
"Hahaha, I knew this kid wouldn't let me down."
However, before he could be happy for a moment, the army, like a black tide, raised its flags.
