C50 (2/2)

They first led their troops to attack the dock, creating the pretense of seizing the ship, indirectly forcing Moqiu State troops to adjust again, then raided the relay station warehouse. Even if the Wolf Drinking Town stations had already received the news, they would still not be able to stop the sudden attack of more than three hundred Fire Phoenix Empire elites.

Following that, Chen Qu and his companion estimated the number of kerosene and saltpeter and immediately agreed on the next step. A Qu Feizhi who never thought that things would get out of hand just to watch the show and a Chen Chu who was extremely ruthless, their methods of fighting would cause the entire Moqiu State to tremble!

Right now, Qu Feizhi's mission was basically complete, all that was left was Chen Chu's time! And to do this, it just happened that he had experience. Countless vengeful spirits outside the Phoenix City Pass remembered everything Chen Chu had done before.

His Knights carefully buried the saltpeter from the side of the river all the way to the mouth of the Sunset Ditch, then sprinkled it onto the kerosene. After everyone had retreated dozens of feet, a Knight lifted up a handheld crossbow and shot it towards the kerosene that was lying on the ground.

Flames rose, the sky crumbled and the earth cracked.

The Surging Waves River was enraged. The river water that had been calm for ten million years suddenly found an outlet to vent, and rushed down along the blasted ditch along the way, bringing along the still burning kerosene and blasted rocks into the Sunset Ditch.

At this moment, Xu Keding still had a trace of luck in his heart, because when he saw the Fire Phoenix Army setting fire at the mouth of the ditch, he was already somewhat afraid. Xu Keding almost subconsciously passed through the frontline, and personally gave the order for all the soldiers to turn around and exit the Sunset Ditch from the east side. He then went back to the original route to meet up with Han Mountain City. As a result, when the river water rushed into the Sunset Ditch, although Xu Keding's heart ached, he didn't lose his composure. As the river water rushed into the Sunset Ditch, although Xu Keding's heart ached, he did not lose his composure.

But when he saw the group of ”robust men” standing in a formation on the east side of Sunset Ditch, Xu Keding was dumbstruck.

The road within Sunset Ditch was not wide, three carriages could move away, and if one walked, they could barely move away from the ten people in a row. Several rows of huge rocks were laid in front of Xu Keding, sixty meters away. Behind the rocks were the new set of battalion soldiers, who were already in formation.

Squatting at the very front of the line were five rows of Warriors with shields and sabers in hand. Xiu'er was squatting at the very front of the line as she glared at the incoming Moqiu Soldier through the cracks of the boulder. The fifty people led by the Xiu'er would be responsible for the first and most important wave of interception missions.

Xu Keding could not and did not dare to stop. He finally showed the demeanor of a high-ranking military officer. He drew his saber from his waist and shouted, ”Follow me!” Countless Moqiu Soldier took out their weapons and followed behind their main general, shouting as they rushed up the slope.

”Push!” Xiu'er's delicate shout sounded out a moment later. Several tens of Wulian Border Army Warriors leapt forward, their shoulders firmly pressed against the huge boulder in front of them as they let out low and deep roars.

The gigantic boulder that was about half the height of a man first swayed and then loosened. In the end, it could no longer hold on against the soldiers' strength and tumbled down, smashing towards Moqiu Soldier.

Xiu'er's leg moved like lightning, with one kick she sent the biggest boulder flying, following that she brought the soldiers to retreat. By the time they were on either side, the second row of boulders began to be pushed and rolled.

This was the plan that the Xiu'er, strong man and the Fat Cui had set up to stop Yue Yang. Since he was worried about the new generation of battalion and their fighting capabilities, he might as well not make direct contact with them. In any case, none of these people could even think of escaping. They all had blood on their hands!

Just after Xu Keding had walked past the Sunset Ditch for the first time, strong man brought the soldiers of the battalion to move the big and small stones into the middle of the road. Now that Xu Keding was here, these stones became his most powerful weapons.

During the process of carrying the stones, the Xiu'er was enough to shock everyone who made up the new battalion. This seemingly soft and weak girl easily threw a rock as tall as half a person in the middle of the road. After a dong sound, no one dared to raise their head and look at this commander of the expedition who seemed to be unworthy of his title.

The flying stones were not a big problem for Xu Keding, at least the number of casualties was acceptable, but the road that was blocked by the huge rocks was the most fatal. The group of soldiers behind him were panicking as they rushed towards him. The river water behind them had already calmed down, and the flames had also died down, but the group of knights clad in red, who looked like devils or demons, were making an even more deadly threat.

Xu Keding was very clear that he had lost, and so had Bai Wusheng. The other party would definitely not line up and shout like before to attack him, waiting for him to not have the chance to form a resistance formation. They would repeat the scene that happened at the west side of Sunset Ditch once, using kerosene and saltpeter to burn himself and the soldiers inside this Sunset Ditch alive.

Under the despairing gazes of the soldiers around him, Xu Keding dismounted from his horse, and climbed onto a large flat rock with difficulty, with the help of the guards. Facing the enemy troops on the slope in front of him, he slowly kneeled to the ground, took off his helmet and placed it to the side, then lowered his head and shouted loudly. ”General Xu Keding, you are willing to surrender! I beg you, please let our soldiers live! ”

It was as if in that instant, the entire Sunset Ditch quietened down. This was the first time, the first time in the history of a thousand years, that a high ranking general directly under the had voluntarily surrendered to the army of Fire Phoenix Empire.

A moment later, all the Moqiu Soldier behind Xu Keding kneeled down, and the sound of their weapons hitting the ground resonated throughout the hall.

Chen Chu raised one of his arms up high, stopping his subordinate, the cavalry, as he coldly watched Xu Keding's back, which was a dozen or so meters away.

Xiu'er slowly stood up, and slowly walked to the front of the first battalion array, her voice low but imposing, ”You are allowed to surrender!”
