Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

During the ugly hour (one to three o'clock in the evening), the not-full moon hangs high in the dark night sky. A transparent gray cloud lightly blocks the moonlight, and the sparkling stars blink mischievously like gems.

Except for the gentle breeze, the whole world seemed silent.

Under the cover of darkness, a large army lurked quietly at the foot of a hillside not far from the Liyang County Castle Tower.

They had lurked there as soon as it got dark, and they waited until now just to wait for the Liyang County army to be in dire straits before taking action.

He raised his head and looked at the few sparse lights on the tower. The few night watch soldiers all yawned repeatedly. The palace hero's deep eyes flashed with bloodthirsty murderous intent and ridicule. Then he waved his right hand, and a group of masked men in black quickly moved behind him.

After climbing up the city tower, the soldiers on night watch died before they had time to react. The men in black opened the city gate and let half the army into the city, while the rest stayed where they were.

"General Chen, I'll leave this place to you." After saying this, Gong Yingxiong led the group of men in black and went straight to the Liyang County Government Office. According to reliable information, the Ninth Princess, Situ Jingyu and Duan Fanghong all lived in the Government Office.

After leading the army for a while, he didn't even meet a patrolling soldier. The doors of every house on both sides of the street were closed, and there was almost no light. General Chen couldn't help but stop.

The deputy general Niu Tiezhu beside him asked in a low voice in confusion: "General Chen, why don't you leave all of a sudden?"

"Something is wrong." General Chen frowned as he looked at the silent surroundings.

Even if the people in the city were fast asleep, and even if the enemy didn't expect them to attack by surprise, they couldn't be so quiet. There weren't even any soldiers on regular patrols. What's more, at this time, it looks like a trap.

, a trap that had been designed long ago just waiting for them to fall into it.

Hearing what General Chen said, everyone felt that the atmosphere was strange and looked around with vigilance: "General Chen is saying..."

"Retreat!" General Chen, who felt more and more suspicious the more he thought about it, immediately ordered the army to retreat.

"Now that you're here, why bother leaving in a hurry?"

As a loud voice sounded, the originally dark and silent surroundings suddenly burst into flames. Countless majestic soldiers suddenly poured out holding torches and swords, quickly surrounding General Chen and others.

Duan Fanghong, who was wearing a purple-red shirt, looked at General Chen with a calm face: "Zhenguo, you are well."

General Chen's expression changed, and he looked at Duan Fanghong with jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.

The two of them have been friends since childhood in the same village. They joined the army together and were in the same army. They ate and slept together, and they were better than real brothers.

Unfortunately, God was unfair. Duan Fanghong had a smooth journey and became the general of Dingyuan who commanded the Shenwu Camp. However, his ability was not inferior to that of Duan Fanghong, but he was always inferior to Duan Fanghong. He was almost beheaded because of a defeat in a battle. Thanks to the prince's mediation,

Only then did he save his life, and from then on he stayed with the prince wholeheartedly.

Although he is also a general, Duan Fanghong's honor and status are still much higher than his. How can this not make him jealous and hateful?

"Have you expected that we would launch a sneak attack?" General Chen's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and there was endless panic in his heart.

Only 30,000 of the 100,000 troops behind him are real soldiers. The rest are all civilians who were forcibly recruited today to supplement the troops. They have no training and no actual combat experience. How can they be brave and skilled soldiers?

One hundred thousand enemy opponents? Is he really going to die here tonight?

Duan Fanghong's expression was still calm, but there was sadness and regret in his eyes: "Zhenguo, you still have time to repent, the Ninth Princess will forgive you."

"Repent?" General Chen laughed at himself. From the moment he decided to follow the prince to the death, he never thought about betraying the prince. Even though he knew that following the prince to rebel against the court was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans, he never hesitated or regretted it.

: "Duan Fanghong, you and I have never really competed once. Let me, the general, learn your skills tonight!"

As he spoke, he was about to rush towards Duan Fanghong with his sword, but was stopped in time by Niu Tiezhu beside him. Seeing General Chen's angry eyes, Niu Tiezhu lowered his voice and said: "General Chen, have you forgotten the prince's secret order? This is not the time to show off. We

It’s better to withdraw quickly.”

After hearing this, General Chen's eyes dimmed. Before the night attack, the prince suddenly gave a secret order. Once he was besieged by the enemy's army, he would use the 70,000 civilians as shields to cover the real soldiers' rapid evacuation. But after all, his conscience was still intact and he could not do anything inhumane.

Something happened, and he believed that the prince would definitely not agree to this.

"If you want to withdraw, you should withdraw yourself. If anyone dares to use those new soldiers as a shield, I will kill them without mercy!"

"General Chen..."

Seeing General Chen raising his sword and galloping towards Duan Fanghong again, Niu Tiezhu curled his lips in disdain, wondering if saving his own life is the most important thing at this time? How stupid!

So a signal was fired into the night sky, and then Niu Tiezhu ordered 30,000 sergeants to use the new soldiers as cover to quickly evacuate to the city gate. As long as they reached the city gate and there was a large army outside to respond, they would be safe.

"Niu Tiezhu, you deserve to die!"

General Chen had already rushed to a place three steps away from Duan Fanghong when he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him. He turned around quickly and saw Niu Tiezhu disobeying his order. He became furious and quickly threw the sword in his hand mercilessly.

Xiangniu Tiezhu.

Feeling the sharp and cold murderous aura roaring towards him, Niu Tiezhu trembled all over. When he turned around and saw the speeding sword, his face changed drastically, and he instinctively grabbed a soldier beside him to block him in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the sword with thunderous force passed through the soldier's body and sank deeply into his chest. Both of them fell to the ground, and the blood spurting out instantly dyed the ground under them red, and Niu Tiezhu's eyes widened.

His eyes were filled with fear, reluctance and disbelief.

The sudden scene shocked everyone, and even the air seemed to be stagnant. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that this was a time of life and death.

Duan Fanghong was the first to react. Looking at General Chen with a murderous look on his face, he was relieved and worried at the same time. What kind of grief and regret would Zhenguo feel if he knew the truth of the matter? But at this moment, he couldn't allow him to think too much.

General Chen had already snatched a soldier's spear and stabbed him.

While facing General Chen's deadly killing moves, Duan Fanghong shouted loudly: "Those who voluntarily abandon their weapons and surrender under the orders of the Ninth Princess will not be killed!"

The soldiers of Liyang County also shouted in unison and surrounded the rebels with swords in hand without executing them.

The rebels were frightened by the majestic appeals to surrender.

Especially the recruits who had just been forcibly recruited to fill their ranks couldn't help but look at each other. They were ordinary people who just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life. It was a shame that King Zhongwu not only conspired to rebel, but also forced them to get involved in this war because of the safety of their loved ones.

They even used them as shields to protect the real soldiers. King Zhongwu was simply not a human being!

So one recruit took the initiative to put down his weapon, and soon another recruit surrendered, and then one after another, the recruits raised their hands in the air and gave up resistance...including some real rebels.

The surrounding Liyang County soldiers stepped forward and quickly escorted those who surrendered to a safe place, lest they be used as shields by others.

Looking at the loss of more than half of the 100,000-strong army in the blink of an eye, and then looking at General Chen who was in a desperate duel with Duan Fanghong, the remaining soldiers were still a little hesitant, and some of them had been following Gong Yuanhao and General Chen.

Some people are worried about their relatives staying in Jiuyuan County, and are worried that Gong Yuanhao will anger their relatives.

Not far outside the city tower.

Seeing the signal fired in the night sky, Lieutenant General Zhu Huaming whispered: "General Yu, General Chen and the others have succeeded. Shall we go to respond?"

"Wait a minute." General Yu stared at the city gate, and for some reason he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Zhu Huaming was just about to ask General Yu why he did not carry out the original plan, but suddenly he heard a wave of voices urging surrender, and his expression changed.

As expected, General Yu had a solemn expression on his face and sighed softly: "General Chen and the others may not be able to come back."

"General Yu..."

"It seems that the enemy has set up an ambush a long time ago and is just waiting for us to surrender."

"So what do we do now?"

"Stay still and be ready to respond to the Crown Prince at any time!"

Just as General Yu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a strange noise around him that sounded like mosquitoes. His heart tightened inexplicably. Before he could order the soldiers to be on guard, countless cavalry in blue and soldiers in silver armor had already surrounded him from all directions...

..

Inside the city tower, Duan Fanghong and General Chen exchanged hundreds of moves. The two seemed to be on par with each other in terms of kung fu. But anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that General Chen's moves were sharp and merciless, but Duan Fanghong left room for action, obviously not wanting to hurt General Chen.

.

Seeing that he was unable to defeat Duan Fanghong for a long time, General Chen couldn't help but feel impatient. Suddenly, his heart suddenly changed, and he took off his spear and stabbed Duan Fanghong straight away. At the same time, he rushed forward like an arrow from the string, and the dagger in his right hand shone with a cold light.

"General Duan..." The soldiers of Liyang County couldn't help but exclaimed loudly when they saw this.

Duan Fanghong did not expect that General Chen would be so desperate and avoided the spear attack, but it was no longer possible to dodge the dagger in the hands of General Chen who came after him. "Ah..." A scream suddenly

Everyone was shocked, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Everyone took a closer look and saw General Chen lying on his side in defeat. His face was as pale as paper in the firelight, and bright red blood was constantly flowing out of the corners of his mouth. Duan Fanghong was standing there unharmed, and beside him was a man in purple standing solemnly.

He strode to General Chen's side, squatted down, and stared at General Chen with sinister and jealous eyes. Duan Fanghong sighed and said, "Zhenguo, do you know who caused you to lose the war in the first place?"
