Chapter 463: Destroying Zhou Quankun

The battlefield was changing rapidly and Zhou Quankun was feeling scared. It was not easy for him to run away as someone was watching him from behind.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape unscathed, the gate of Nanping City suddenly opened slowly.

The enemy soldiers who were stunned by the thunder bomb took several seconds to react. Those who could move turned around and ran back without even thinking.

Zhou Wuwei and Shi Bin, riding on their war horses, took the lead and rushed to the front.

Holding strong bows in their hands, they locked onto Zhou Quankun's position in the crowd almost at the same time.

The two calculated the range in their minds and quickly approached him.

Even someone as perceptive as Zhou Quankun sensed the crisis at the first moment. He saw Shi Bin drawing his bow and aiming at him from afar.

Zhou Quankun knew how good Shi Bin's kung fu was. He had lost every time they had fought. He didn't dare to bet that Shi Bin wouldn't be able to hit him.

So he made a prompt decision, turned his horse around and ran back.

"General Zhou, why are you running back? The gates of Nanping are wide open. It's a good time to attack the city. You should quickly organize your troops to attack the city."

Wu Xia, who had been staring at Zhou Quankun, stopped him and even drew his sword.

The meaning was clear. If Zhou Quankun dared to retreat, he would definitely strike him with a sword without hesitation.

It is a serious crime for a general who is charging on the battlefield to desert. If the general has run away, how can the soldiers still have the mood to continue fighting? Those who disrupt the morale of the army can be executed on the spot without reporting.

"Wu Xia, are you blind? Didn't you see that I was hit by two arrows?"

Zhou Quankun pulled up his shirt, revealing the arrow wound on his shoulder.

"As long as no one is killed, the generals who are charging cannot retreat. This is a military order."

Zhou Quankun gritted his teeth in hatred.

After just a few words, Zhou Quankun was already within the range of Shi Bin and Zhou Wuwei.

Zhou Quankun, sensing danger, squeezed his horse's belly hard and tried to run back past Wu Xia.

However, Wu Xia was an upright man, and he would not give in even though Zhou Quankun held a higher official position than him.

"what."

Zhou Quankun screamed and fell off his horse.

He was shot with two arrows in the right thigh at the same time.

Now he had a reason to retreat.

"It seems that we both have similar ideas. We both shot Zhou Quankun's right leg."

After Shi Bin shot an arrow, he quickly changed into a long sword and killed all the enemies who dared to block his way.

"Zhou Quankun fell off his horse. I don't know if he can survive. I rushed over to check."

Zhou Wuwei showed a sneer on his face, and Shi Bin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Don't make it too big, if it doesn't work just kill him with one knife."

"I have my measure."

Zhou Wuwei led a team of black armor soldiers and pierced the enemy's heart like a sharp sword.

From the very beginning when the enemy troops were nearly killed by thunder bombs during their siege, their morale was broken.

When Xuanjia rushed forward, everyone scattered.

Zhou Wuwei has taken many pills containing spring water, and his five senses are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

Soon he found Zhou Quankun's trace in the crowd.

Zhou Quankun, who was hit by four arrows, did not die. He was carried by two of his men and ran towards the mountains outside the city.

Zhou Quankun called a soldier and asked him to follow from a distance and not to expose himself, but to follow carefully.

The siege of Nanping City was over in just about an hour. Xiao Changming claimed that he had sent an army of 10, but in the end only more than 3 people came when the real battle broke out.

By the time the siege was over, more than 2 of them had been taken prisoners.

All of them had their hands tied and were strung together like grasshoppers.

Shi Bin also did not allow them to enter the city, and everyone gathered in several camps outside the city to await their fate.

"Have your men cut off Zhou Quankun's head and taken it to General Zhou's grave to show him?"

"No hurry. Zhou Quankun is so badly injured that he won't die for a while. I want him to have a good taste of the bitterness of this world."

"Hey, it's good that he has two lives. I want him to feel the pain of being cut into pieces."

Shi Bin was a little disappointed. Even ten lives might not be enough to compensate for the sins Zhou Quankun had committed.

"General Shi, rest assured. Let me play for a few days. When I am done playing, I will leave Zhou Quankun with some breath and let General Shi finish him off personally."

"Okay, it's a deal."

The weather was cold, and the captives from the south all huddled under the city wall. They were freezing, and only relied on their toughness to keep out the cold.

Not far away, Ding Mao and a few others had just lit a bonfire.

They took a clay pot, poured some water into it, and then put a handful of dried vegetables and bacon in it. The bacon was salty, so there was no need to add salt to the vegetable soup, it could be eaten after boiling.

While the vegetables were cooking, they took out the puff pastry and baked it next to the campfire.

After a while, the hot puff pastry smelled rich.

The aroma of the puff pastry seems to recognize people, and it will go into the nose of whoever is hungry.

The huddled captives all looked at Ding Mao. They had only drunk a little porridge before the siege this morning. Now they saw Ding Mao and others eating puff pastry and drinking vegetable soup, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.

The brave one swallowed and asked tentatively, "Little General, are your meals usually so good?"

"Of course, we were on the march and fighting outside, so we had to eat dry food three times a day."

As he spoke, Ding Mao deliberately pushed the pastry in his hand towards the prisoners, fearing that they could not see how delicious the pastry in his hand was.

"Is it dry in the morning?"

"Yes, this pastry can be used as breakfast or lunch. It is very convenient to eat it three times a day during the war."

"When we're not at war, we don't eat shortbread."

When the prisoner heard this, he secretly comforted himself, thinking that all generals are the same, they only have something to eat when they are fighting.

"We usually eat steamed buns, but eating steamed buns all the time makes us sick of it. We not only have fried cakes, but also fried noodles. If we have time in the morning, we can make a bowl of fried noodles. Just thinking about the taste makes me happy."

As he spoke, Ding Mao showed his bowl to the prisoners.

"This is called vegetable soup. Our Princess Qin said that marching and fighting is a physical activity. You need to eat meat and vegetables so that you have the strength to fight."

Under the gaze of the prisoners, Ding Mao slowly drank up the bowl of hot vegetable soup.

"It's so comfortable to drink a bowl of hot soup on a cold day."

"Can you give us a bite of the puff pastry, sir?"

One of the prisoners asked boldly.

"Since you are so pitiful, it's not impossible to give you a taste."

Ding Mao generously broke off a piece of pastry and handed it to the prisoner who was speaking.

The prisoner devoured the pastry in one bite, and the aroma in his mouth was unforgettable for the rest of his life.

This was the first time in his life that he had eaten such delicious puff pastry.

"How does it taste? Isn't it delicious?"

The prisoner nodded vigorously, "Delicious, delicious."

The other prisoners were so envious that they all asked to try the puff pastry.
