The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 145: The Fall of Jingzhou City

Jingzhou, prefectural government office, government office.

The Jingzhou prefect, who was about forty years old, rested his hands on the armrests of his imperial chair, his face sullen and his eyes closed. In front of him, Governor Chen and Magistrate Yang, with worried looks on their faces, discussed the current situation in Jingzhou City.

At this time, Wei Zhifu's confidant Feng Bao came to report anxiously: "Sir!"

Hearing the voice, Prefect Wei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.

Feng Bao continued, "Sir, the master has successfully led the rebel army and broke through the siege from the rear city, Jiangdong, and entered the city."

"What?" Governor Chen and Judge Yang were shocked, with a gleam in their eyes, and they looked at Prefect Wei anxiously.

Prefect Wei, who had been sullen, finally smiled, seemingly filled with indescribable excitement. He slowly rose from his chair and took a deep breath, "Okay!"

Governor Chen said, "Sir Wei, this is the perfect opportunity for the rebels to take action. We will certainly provide our full support."

Prefect Wei nodded and laughed: "Okay, Master Chen is right. Immediately summon all troops and fully assist the rebels."

"Yes!"

In a moment, all the servants, retainers and guards from the prefect's backyard, Chen's family and Yang's family seemed to have been prepared. They all got ready and rushed to the back of the city, picking up the spears, swords and arrows hidden in the dark. Under the leadership of Governor Chen, they quickly rushed to the back of the city.

As early as when he started the rebellion, Governor Chen secretly placed a group of personal soldiers, who were hiding in disguise in various places in Jingzhou City, just to wait for today to come.

At the same time, the Prince of Lu's Mansion also received the news that the rebels had broken through into the city. The Prince of Lu was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

"Pass on my order, the people of Jingzhou City must chop off Xiao Ce's head at all costs!" What a Xiao Ce, after stealing the fiefdom of King Huai, he even dared to set his sights on my fiefdom.

It seems that this young master has had enough of the rich and luxurious life in the capital, and he really thinks that these foreign kings are easy to bully!

"Yes!" Several generals responded and came down

A confidant hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping himself: "Your Highness, this is too risky. If the Huai Army and Wang Army outside the city learn of the situation inside the city, our forces inside the city will be scattered, making it even more difficult to defend the city gates."

How could the Prince of Lu not know this? But he didn't believe that a mere rebel army could stir up trouble in his fiefdom. Thinking of this, the Prince of Lu turned and pulled out the Thousand Man Slasher from the shelf. This knife had been used by his father to slay the enemies in Daqing while he defended the land.

Today, he will use this knife to tame the ignorant Xiao family army.

"Come here, pass me my armor!"

"Yes."

Seeing the Prince of Lu's demeanor, his confidants knew that persuasion was futile. The rebels' move had caught them completely off guard. At this moment, the entire city of Jingzhou was plagued by internal and external troubles, and reinforcements would take several days to arrive. The situation was already urgent.

Soon, Prince Lu, wearing armor, led the remaining personal soldiers in the palace and headed straight towards the back city. The Thousand Man Slasher in his hand flashed with cold light and broke through the wind.

After the rebels successfully broke through the rear city, Xiao Ce ordered the deputy generals to lead the soldiers into several groups and attack Prince Lu's palace directly from the south and east of the city.

Xiao Ce and Zhou Chunfeng rode side by side, and from a distance they heard the sound of fighting coming from the front. They didn't stop, but after exchanging a glance, they bravely pressed forward with even greater determination.

The blood from the blade in the hand of King Lu, who was riding on a tall horse, fell drop by drop into the dust.

He never expected that Governor Chen Qi had already rebelled, yet he never had a doubt: "Good Chen Qi, today I will use your life to pave the way for my ascension to the throne."

After the King of Lu finished speaking, he roared, tightened the reins in his hands, and rode his horse straight towards him.

Governor Chen Qi showed no fear at all, gripping the spear tightly in his hand and facing the enemy head-on. The two forces fought again, and wailing filled the entire city.

The common people who had not yet escaped from the city were so frightened that they huddled in their own houses. When they heard the sounds of fighting and killing coming from outside, they hid in the corners, holding their heads and trembling.

Chen abandoned his spear, knocking the Thousand Man Slayer in Lu's hand, which had nearly killed him, and stood up. However, Lu, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was an expert on the battlefield, quickly counterattacked again.

There were intertwined sounds of ping-pong. The Thousand Man Slayer scratched Chen Qi's arm, and King Lu was also stabbed in the shoulder by a spear, but neither of them gave in.

shhhhhh! ! !

Suddenly, a volley of arrows came from the back of Governor Chen's formation. Some of Prince Lu's personal soldiers who had no time to dodge were shot and fell down, and the battle situation became even more chaotic.

Zhou Chunfeng raised his hand slightly, and the guard Ming Yi, who was following closely behind him, drew the long sword at his waist and jumped up from his horse.

"Kill~~"

Accompanied by Ming Yi and other guards, the rebel soldiers raised their spears and passed through the soldiers behind Governor Chen, swarming around and killing the few personal soldiers of Prince Lu in the city.

Seeing this, Chen Qi's personal soldiers shouted in joy: "The rebels are coming, brothers, go!"

Prince Lu and his generals changed color when they heard the sound, and reacted quickly to command the battle. Prince Lu took advantage of Chen Qi's distraction, went around behind him, and swung his sword to attack him.

In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Man Killer who was about to kill Chen Qi was hit by a dart and deflected.

Prince Lu turned his head away in anger. Before he could see who was coming, a big foot kicked him in the chest from the horse's back and knocked him to the ground. "Ah!"

The confidant who was desperately trying to resist the foreign enemy was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

Chen Qi, who had survived the ordeal, took a deep breath as he watched dozens of powerful soldiers descend from the sky. They responded swiftly, their swords slashing like silver tornadoes, blood raining down and screams cascading down his face.

Xiao Ce in the rear seized the opportunity and looked up at the rebels who had already made arrangements in the attics of the shops on both sides. With a slight raise of his hand, the soldiers immediately drew their long swords and aimed at the soldiers of King Lu below.

shhhhhh! ! !

“Ah, ah, ah!!”

The sudden rain of arrows shocked even the King of Lu and his generals. The rebels responded too quickly and had already taken control of the commanding heights in the city.

Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Zhou Chunfeng raised his sword and swung it with a mighty hand: "Capture the Prince of Lu alive, and the rest will be killed without further delay."

"Yes, kill——!!!"

The cries of killing within the city were even more intense than before, almost overwhelming the city walls. The clatter of horses' hooves and the crackling of weapons made the city dwellers feel as if the sky was turbulent and they could only live in darkness and fear.

The personal soldiers that Prince Lu was able to keep by his side were naturally all extremely capable in combat, and his trusted generals were even better at commanding. The battle in the city lasted for more than two hours.

No matter how fierce the fighting was in the city, no matter how loud the artillery fire was outside the city gate and how smoke filled the battlefield, the Huai Army, Wang Army and part of the Lu Army defending the city were unaware that the city had been lost.

It has to be said that the old man, King Lu, was very powerful and had superb martial arts skills. Ming Yi and several of his brothers took great pains, with wounds all over their bodies and blood splattered all over the ground, before they captured this man alive.

The King of Lu was furious, his face covered in dirt and grime as he glared fiercely at the man in front of him. Looking again, he saw that all his trusted generals had fallen to the ground with serious injuries.

The resentment in his heart reached its peak. At this moment, a pair of black military boots came into view. King Lu, who was kneeling on the ground with a knife at his neck, knew who was coming without looking up.

He lashed out with anger, glaring at Xiao Ce with gritted teeth, "The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit. Even if I lose my fiefdom, my Lu army will never let you, Xiao's army, go."

Xiao Ce smiled contemptuously and was not in a hurry to respond to Prince Lu's words. He first glanced at Governor Chen who had suffered a great loss, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sir!" Chen Fuxun bowed respectfully.

The personal guards behind him all knelt on one knee and said, "Little ones, respectfully welcome Master Xiao."

Xiao Ce was in a good mood. He laughed heartily and raised his hand to signal, "Everyone, get up."

"Yes."
