"Since you can't subdue them, then you can all die!" A cruel expression appeared on Zhao Wei's face. If he couldn't get his hands on these barbarian soldiers, then no one else could either. Zhao Wei wanted the Yangzhou sabers in the hands of these barbarians. He also wanted their heads. Previously, he might have considered offending Liu Mang of Yangzhou.
But now, it only increased Zhao Wei's brutality. He wanted to kill and annihilate them. This way, no one would know that it was Zhao Wei who did it, not even King of Han Liu Mang of Yangzhou. Yunnan was a place full of miasma and mountains.
It was normal for an army of a thousand to disappear into the mountains.
"Die? General Zhao Wei, don't you think the wind is a little too strong and sprain your tongue? " Jia Xu wasn't someone who was easily taken advantage of. If the other party was strong, then Jia Xu would endure for a while and wait until he was strong enough to get back at them.
But now, almost everything was under control. Jia Xu didn't want to give face to Zhao Wei.
"You're still so stubborn even when you're about to die!" Zhao Wei sneered.
"I don't know if I'm going to die or not, but General Zhao Wei, you have to be careful. You're going to be unlucky, and it's going to be a disaster!" Jia Xu said to Zhao Wei with a smile.
"You're courting death. Pass down my orders. All troops, attack!" Zhao Wei was furious. He waved the order flag in his hand, and the 5,000 Central Army immediately stepped forward.
"Our General Zhao Wei is angry. Brothers, let's retreat!" Jia Xu was straightforward. He directly abandoned all the supplies and retreated in the direction of the forest.
These barbarians might not be able to outrun the Han soldiers on flat ground, but in this deep forest, they were like Tarzan. The three thousand barbarians quickly widened the distance between them and Zhao Wei's troops. From time to time, they would shoot arrows from the shadows, killing many of Zhao Wei's men. Some of the hundred-man teams that were chasing after them were even devoured by the barbarians.
This frightened the generals under Zhao Wei, and they immediately began to gather their troops. If they wanted to chase, they would chase together. This caused their speed to slow down even more.
Zhao Wei looked at the actions of the barbarians. He now knew why Wang Cheng died and why Yang Chao was defeated. If this continued, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later if he couldn't touch or hit it.
How could Zhao Wei know that Wang Cheng was killed by Qian Xiao, while Yang Chao was defeated by Hu Zi in a head-on battle?
Of course, Yang Chao naturally wouldn't say these words. Instead, he nodded in agreement. Wasn't it good to have a way out? Who knows, this lord might sympathize with him and hand his troops back to him. Wasn't that good?
"Hmph, unfortunately, the one you met today is me, Zhao Wei!" Zhao Wei clenched his fists. He was determined to obtain the Yangzhou War Sabers in the hands of these barbarians. Now, there was one more thing on his mind, and that was Jia Xu's head.
"Jia Xu?" Yang Chao frowned. He felt that something was amiss. He must have heard of this Jia Xu before, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of him.
However, his many years of experience in the army told him that this Jia Xu was very dangerous.
Looking at this Jia Xu, Yang Chao felt like he was being stared at by a venomous snake. He couldn't help but shiver.
Shaking his head, Yang Chao couldn't help but laugh. He must have been overthinking. No matter how scary this Jia Xu was, he was still just one person.
Three thousand barbarians, while they had thirty thousand troops. Furthermore, they were outflanked from three sides. It could be said that Jia Xu's barbarian army couldn't escape even if they had wings.
Could Jia Xu summon a god to the mortal world?
Even if a god came to the mortal world, he would still fall today.
Thinking of this, Yang Chao's mood improved.
On the other side, Zhao Wei's Central Army continued to pursue. Even though they were so careful, they still lost more than a thousand men. Zhao Wei's face was cold. The general who was leading the troops was so scared that his face was as white as snow. He didn't dare to say anything.
The forest was right in front of them. As long as Jia Xu led the barbarian army into the forest, they would be free to do whatever they wanted.
"General Zhao Wei, thank you for escorting us all the way. You don't have to send us off. Go back!" Jia Xu shouted loudly in the army.
This made the killing intent in Zhao Wei's eyes soar.
"Run? Where do you think you're going? I'll let you know that there's no way out! "Zhao Wei's tone was cold.
"Where are Jiang Hua's and Huang Jian's troops?" Zhao Wei asked the deputy general beside him.
"Just now, Jiang Hua and Huang Jian sent a letter. They are already in the forest. As long as you give the order, they will immediately go to war!"
"Good! Pass down the order. There's no need to hide. Surround them from three sides! "Zhao Wei was also angry and ordered his men.
"Yes!"
On the other side, Huzi was just about to lead the barbarian army to retreat into the forest when suddenly, from both sides of the forest came the sound of battle.
"Yunnan, Huang Jian is here. Enemy general, quickly die!"
"Yunnan, Jiang Hua is here. Enemy general, quickly die!"
Two huge troops of soldiers and horses were approaching from the flanks of the barbarian army.
Under the encirclement from three sides, the barbarian army had no way to retreat. For a moment, they couldn't help but panic.
Jia Xu had been shrinking the defensive line, but hundreds of people were still killed or injured.
When they finally saw the barbarian army suffering casualties, Zhao Wei's men laughed out loud and heaved a sigh of relief. This was because they had always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the barbarian army.
"Jia Xu! Let's see where you're going to run now! "Zhao Wei urged his horse forward and mocked Jia Xu.
"Hmph!" Jia Xu snorted coldly.
"These three sides are my troops. 30,000 troops besieging your 3,000 troops. If you can escape, then I, Zhao Wei, will write my name backwards!" Now that Zhao Wei had the situation under control, Jia Xu would not be able to escape with his life under the combined might of the three armies.
"Is that so!?" Initially, Zhao Wei wanted to find fear and disbelief on Jia Xu's face. If that was the case, Zhao Wei would be able to continue mocking him.
However, Zhao Wei was disappointed. Jia Xu didn't panic at all. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm. Zhao Wei didn't even want to look into Jia Xu's eyes.
"Let's see if you, Jia Xu, can escape this time! If you lay down your weapons and surrender, I can still leave your corpses intact for the sake of being neighbors! "Zhao Wei encouraged himself. The army gave him the confidence to do so.
"General Zhao Wei, do you still remember what I said before?" Jia Xu suddenly said to Zhao Wei.
"What did you say?" Zhao Wei frowned.
"General Zhao Wei, you're really forgetful! I said that you'll be in trouble! "Jia Xu said with a smile.
Zhao Wei's heart skipped a beat.
"Fire, fire!" Suddenly, one of his subordinates shouted. Zhao Wei looked in the direction his subordinate pointed. His eyes widened. Zhao Wei's original camp had now turned into a sea of flames.
In Zhao Wei's camp, Qian Xiao watched as Zhao Wei personally led the army away. Under his respectful expression, he couldn't help but reveal a sly look.
"Pass down the order, we're starting the operation!" Qian Xiao looked at the piles of rations in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head in pity. The carriages that Qian Xiao had brought in were filled with gunpowder and saltpeter. Now, all of them had fallen onto the rations.
"Jia Xu still has troops?" Zhao Wei stared at Jia Xu and questioned him.
"No!" Jia Xu spread his hands, indicating that he was innocent. "Maybe your men were careless and lit the fire. The weather is dry, so you should be careful of candles!"
It was impossible for Jia Xu to have other troops. If he did, Yang Chao wouldn't have kept it a secret. Yang Chao could have more troops and wouldn't have reported less.
Then, there was only one possibility. Zhao Wei suddenly thought of something. His face became very ugly, and he spat out two words with difficulty.
"Qian Xiao?!" Zhao Wei looked at Jia Xu, hoping to get a positive answer from him. In fact, Jia Xu didn't need to say anything. Zhao Wei should know because Jia Xu was the only one in the camp.
Who else could it be other than him?
"General Zhao Wei, you guessed it. I, Jia Xu, didn't say it out loud!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Jia Xu, you're Jia Xu, you're Jia Wenhe!" Yang Chao suddenly shouted.
Everyone's gaze turned to Yang Chao.
"My lord, he's Jia Xu, the Poison Warrior Jia Xu! The Jia Xu who almost killed Cao Cao! " Yang Chao suddenly remembered Jia Xu's identity. Wasn't he the Jia Xu who almost killed Lao Cao and changed the situation of the world?
But why did he appear here? Everyone then remembered that he was the King of Han, Liu Mang.
Zhao Wei was resentful. This King of Han, Liu Mang, really had a lot of talents under his command. A Poison Warrior from a certain country was actually thrown into the barbarian territory to deal with Zhao Wei.
Then Zhao Wei really had a lot of face.
"General Zhao Wei, you really think highly of yourself! If you didn't act on your own initiative and attack Jianning, I wouldn't have come! " Jia Xu shook his head and said. Liu Mang's original intention of setting Jia Xu up was to deal with Jingzhou, not Yizhou. .
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!" Zhao Wei remembered another person. Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan. Zhao Wei had listened to Pang Shiyuan's words and attacked Jianning.
Pang Shiyuan was also a strategist who could plot against the country. Zhao Wei suddenly felt a kind of sadness. Although he was a warlord, he was still played in the palm of someone's hand.
Back in Hanzhong, he and Liu Zhang were like this. They were fooled by Zhang Songyi and gave up the whole of Yizhou. It was even more so now.
The Central Army's camp contained all of Zhao Wei's provisions. Once the fire burned up, it would take three to four days to reach Jianning.
How could they go there? They would starve to death before they reached Jianning. Moreover, there wasn't much provisions left in Jianning. It wasn't enough to support the upcoming war.
Now, there was no way to go back to the camp. Jia Xu led the barbarian army to take them away from Zhao Wei's Central Army camp, so that they wouldn't be able to go back in time.
Zhao Wei looked at the fire over there. His eyes slowly turned from normal to blood-red.
"Jia Xu, you ruined my great cause, so I won't let you have it easy. Jia Xu, Jia Xu, have you calculated that your life will end today?" Zhao Wei was about to go crazy. Since Jia Xu destroyed his hopes of achieving great cause, then he would destroy Jia Xu.
"Haha, I really didn't calculate that!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Then there's no need to calculate in the future!" Zhao Wei had made up his mind. Now, 30,000 soldiers surrounded Jia Xu's 3,000 barbarian army and annihilated them in one fell swoop to ease Zhao Wei's anger.
"General Zhao Wei, I say, you're wrong about another thing!" Jia Xu continued.
"I, Jia Xu, am a Poison Warrior. If I go out and no one dies, then I won't live up to my name!" Jia Xu smiled like a poisonous snake. Although he was smiling, the coldness in his smile was bone-piercing.
"Kill, kill, kill! Under the orders of His Highness King of Han, we're going to annihilate the traitor Zhao Wei! "Shouts came from behind Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei surrounded Jia Xu like he was wrapping dumplings, but he didn't know that he was also being wrapped up like a dumpling outside.
The one who rushed behind Zhao Wei was none other than General Qian Xiao.
After Qian Xiao burned all the supplies in Zhao Wei's camp, he quickly led his 3,000 men and charged towards Zhao Wei's army.
"Don't panic, don't panic, this is Qian Xiao's army, only 3,000 to 4,000!" How could Zhao Wei not know that this was Jia Xu's trick? Even if Qian Xiao's entire army attacked, how many people would there be? Even if they attacked, there would only be less than 3,000 soldiers.
However, even if Zhao Wei knew, the other soldiers didn't. How could these soldiers know what a trick was?
After Zhao Wei's Central Army camp was set on fire, the morale of Zhao Wei's army began to fluctuate. Now, shouts came from behind them.
Moreover, it didn't seem like there were 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers, but more like 30,000 to 40,000.
This was because every soldier of Qian Xiao's army was carrying a scarecrow with them as they charged. This person was so flustered that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.
"General Zhao Wei, I'm sorry, but I, Jia Xu, will take your head!" Jia Xu apologized to Zhao Wei. This was the tears of a poisonous snake.
"Pass down my orders, break the three armies and kill Zhao Wei!" Jia Xu also ordered the barbarian soldiers under him.
"Tch, tch, tch!" With a roar, Huzi was the first to charge towards Zhao Wei's army.
This barbarian army was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. .
Once the barbarian army erupted, it was hard to say what would happen to the 10,000 Central Army.
