Chapter 328: Fire burns the camps and thunder roars on the ground!
Wang Derun rode a warhorse and led the county soldiers to the vicinity of the northern army camp.
Looking at the Northern soldiers standing guard in groups of two or three above the camp, Wang Derun raised a sneer.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
"It's time to let these northerners see how powerful we Beiming are!"
After shouting loudly, Wang Derun squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed into the northern army camp.
After rushing into the Northern Army camp, the county soldiers discovered that something was wrong.
They rushed all the way in and were not stopped by the Northern Army!
Wang Derun, who also felt something was wrong, suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Just then, a county soldier commander ran over and knelt in front of Wang Derun's horse.
After bowing to Wang Derun, he reported loudly.
"Your Excellency, there is not a single Northern Army in these camps!"
"This camp is empty, my lord!"
After hearing the report from the county soldier commander, Wang Derun's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger!
"Quick, pass the order down, retreat..."
However, before Wang Derun could finish his words, several flames rose in the night sky.
Under the puzzled gaze of the county soldiers, the flames slowly fell into the camp of the Northern Army!
As the flames faded, the county soldiers discovered it.
It turns out that these flames are burning rockets!
Before they could react, the rockets that fell into the tents quickly ignited them!
As the tents were ignited, the entire Northern Army camp turned into a sea of fire in an instant!
"There's a fire, run, run!"
"It's over, we've fallen into a trap!"
As the sea of fire engulfed them, countless county soldiers began to trample on them.
But this is not the end. Just when the county soldiers were panicked and didn’t know what to do.
“Boom boom—”
A series of explosions sounded, killing more than half of the county soldiers who were already in disarray!
With flames shooting into the sky and explosions continuing, Wang Derun was instantly panicked.
The mount under his crotch was frightened by the explosion.
He became furious and threw Wang Derun off his horse!
Wang Derun, who was thrown off the horse, stood up in panic and rubbed his aching butt.
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
The commander of the county soldiers just now looked at his subordinates who were running around and on fire.
With a frown on his brow, he couldn't help but ask Wang Derun anxiously.
But Wang Derun, who was already scared silly at this time, didn't care about these things at all.
Without waiting for the county troop commander to come to his senses, Wang Derun turned around and ran out of the northern army camp.
Looking at Wang Derun who ran out of the camp without saying a word.
The commander of the county troops couldn't help but spit at his back and cursed angrily.
"What a beast! I am so blind!"
"Everyone, gather your formation and follow me to break through!"
With the efforts of the county army commander, a team of thousands of people was quickly gathered.
Just as the county army commander had gathered the remaining soldiers.
From outside the camp, there were shouts and screams.
“Kill, kill!”
As the shouts of killing rang out, the fifty thousand Northern Iron Cavalry turned into the gods of death in the darkness.
Like a nightmare, it descended upon the county soldiers!
Looking at the Northern Border Iron Cavalry that seemed like divine soldiers sent from heaven, the county troop commander had no time to care about anything else.
Without hesitation, he led the thousands of remnant soldiers that had just gathered.
They rushed out of the Northern Army camp, which was already a sea of fire, and fled all the way towards the city of Chiwan County.
…
Looking at the nearby Chiwan County capital, Wang Derun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning back, he saw that there were only less than a thousand county soldiers left behind him.
Wang Derun couldn't help but feel a little scared, and he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, I almost thought I was going to die tonight."
"But God has mercy on me and I was able to escape."
After calming himself down, Wang Derun led the county soldiers to the foot of the city.
After arriving at the city of Chiwan County, Wang Derun shouted loudly to the top of the city.
"Mayor, please open the city gate quickly and let me in!"
Hearing Wang Derun's shouting coming from below the city, the county magistrate on the top of the city smiled coldly.
Then he walked to the top of the city wall, stuck his head out, and replied loudly to Wang Derun below the city.
"The county governor has been killed by the northern army!"
"The ones under the city are the Northern Army pretending to be the county magistrate. Shoot them to death!"
"Kill these northern soldiers and avenge the county governor!"
Following the order from the county magistrate, hundreds of county soldiers left on the top of the city drew their bows and shot arrows at Wang Derun and others below the city.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—”
Waves of arrows shot from the top of the city wall towards Wang Derun and others.
Suddenly, a large number of the less than 1,000 county soldiers behind Wang Derun were shot down.
Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid Wang Derun was, he could see it.
This county magistrate has secretly defected to the Northern Army!
Without time to think, Wang Derun took the few hundred remaining county soldiers with him.
He turned around and ran quickly in the direction away from the county seat of Chiwan County.
Looking at Wang Derun who was running away, the county magistrate could not help but shook his head helplessly.
"Alas, what a pity that this shameless person escaped..."
Originally, the county magistrate was thinking about taking down Wang Derun's head.
When meeting Jiang Chen in person, he would do so as a token of his allegiance.
However, he didn't expect that despite his careful arrangements, Wang Derun still escaped.
…
Wang Derun fled all the way with hundreds of remaining soldiers behind him.
He just happened to run into the commander of the county troops who was leading thousands of remaining soldiers.
As soon as the county army commander saw Wang Derun, his eyes immediately sparkled with bloodshot.
Immediately afterwards, a strong murderous intent emanated from the commander of the county troops.
"Wang Derun, you are a dog official, you are going to die!"
Under Wang Derun's horrified gaze, the commander of the county troops drew the sword at his waist.
He rode his horse, wielding a sword, and charged towards Wang Derun!
As the county magistrate, how could Wang Derun be a match for the commander of the county troops!
The commander of the county troops raised his sword and slashed, and Wang Derun's head fell to the ground!
The commander of the county troops dismounted from his horse and picked up Wang Derun’s head.
There came the sound of horse hooves behind me!
Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, the commander of the county troops held Wang Derun's head without changing his expression.
He walked up to Jiang Chen and Huo Xiang who were riding their horses towards him and shouted loudly.
"General of the North, please don't kill us!"
"Here is Wang Derun's head. We are willing to surrender!"
After the county soldier commander shouted loudly, he threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
Seeing their commander drop his weapons, the remaining thousands of county soldiers also dropped their weapons without hesitation.
