Zong Ba's soldiers had moved in front of Du Qi. Zong Ba led his troops to hurry on their way and quietly took a detour to reach White Horse Crossing first. Then, Zong Ba himself led a thousand soldiers and blocked the official road.
The remaining two thousand soldiers had sneaked into the forest under the lead of a scout, cutting off Babur's escape route. They had surrounded him and forced him out of the forest.
Babur had been in the forest. If he did not come out, he would have to fight with the soldiers.
Six hundred against two thousand.
There was no chance of victory.
Babur might not even be able to escape from the forest.
Moreover, what if he could escape successfully after leaving the forest?
Therefore, Babur had chosen to listen to Yan Pu's advice and led his troops out. However, Babur had not expected that he would be attacked as soon as he left the forest. He was already in a difficult situation.
What should he do?
Babur's heart was filled with panic for a moment.
He did not know what to do.
Now, enemies were coming out of the forest one after another. Besides that, there were people blocking the road.
It would be difficult to kill their way out.
Yan Pu said, "Lord Babur, kill our way out. We have to send all the information back to Jingyang County. Du Qi is too cunning. We have to let the governor know and prepare in advance. Otherwise, we will be in trouble. "
Babur said, "Can we kill our way out?"
He was doubtful.
This was especially so when they saw Zong Ba's presence. Zong Ba was holding a saber and standing on the ground with a height of nearly two meters. It was an intimidating sight. In particular, the fighting spirit of the soldiers, as well as the way their eyes lit up, was even more frightening.
He did not know how to resist at all.
He did not know how to kill his way out.
Yan Pu's eyes darted around, but he did not speak. He waited for Babur's decision.
Babur said, "I have decided to surrender."
Puchi!
Suddenly, Babur felt a sharp pain in his waist. He turned around and his eyes widened. His face was full of disbelief. He said, "Mister Yan, you, why did you …"
Yan Pu said, "Babur, I am your strategist, but I was also arranged by the governor to watch over you. If you betray the governor, you will die! "
Yan Pu pulled his hand out.
As Yan Pu pulled out the dagger, Babur's body swayed twice before he lost consciousness.
Plop!
Babur's body fell to the ground.
Yan Pu raised his bleeding dagger and shouted, "Kill! Kill our way out!"
After he gave the order, the soldiers under his command began their journey. At this time, Zong Ba looked at the bandits who were charging towards him. Seeing the scene of slaughter, he sneered in his heart.
They had already killed each other, and they still wanted to break out?
How was that possible?
Zong Ba waved his hand, and his subordinates went forward to greet them. At the same time, the soldiers in the forest had also come out and surrounded Yan Pu and his men.
Everyone was completely surrounded.
The two sides soon clashed.
However, as soon as the battle began, the soldiers under Babu Er's command were slaughtered and scattered. After all, although they obeyed Yan Pu's orders, Babu Er's death had disrupted the morale of the army.
Especially when they were in a predicament, they lost their will to fight.
Everyone was muddle-headed.
Fighting was equivalent to throwing away one's life.
Therefore, after fighting for a while, all the soldiers under Yan Pu's command had already fled in all directions or directly surrendered.
Zong Ba's gaze fell on Yan Pu.
His eyes flashed.
Because Yan Pu was a martial artist.
In Babur's eyes, Yan Pu had always been a scholar who did not know martial arts. But in fact, Yan Pu's martial arts were not weak. He held his dagger and attacked quickly.
Wherever Yan Pu passed, he killed one soldier after another.
He wanted to break out of the encirclement.
Zong Ba raised his saber and went up to meet him.
When Zong Ba charged at Yan Pu, Yan Pu had already changed his weapon. He threw away the dagger in his hand and replaced it with a saber. When he saw Zong Ba coming for him, he advanced instead of retreating. Instead of dodging, he went straight for Zong Ba.
Yan Pu also noticed Zong Ba.
Zong Ba was the commander.
If he killed Zong Ba, he could kill his way out.
Even if he had fewer soldiers, he could escape without Zong Ba as the commander.
Although the situation could not be reversed, at least he could escape and survive. When he returned to Jingyang County and reported the news, he could shift the blame to Babur and his safety would be guaranteed.
"Kill!"
As soon as Yan Pu got close to Zong Ba, he swung his saber.
Zong Ba sneered. He stood still on his feet and swung the saber in his hand.
He met force with force.
"Clang!"
The two sabers collided.
An ear-piercing sound accompanied by sparks could be heard clearly.
Zong Ba stood on the ground and was not affected at all. In fact, he was as calm as the wind and clouds, unaffected by anything. However, Yan Pu widened his eyes and gripped the hilt of his saber tightly, trying to stabilize himself.
However, after the blades collided, the power that poured out was simply too strong.
Yan Pu could not stabilize himself at all.
Yan Pu's hand that was holding the hilt of his saber cracked and blood flowed out. His hand was in pain and he could no longer hold on to the hilt of his saber. The saber was knocked away and Yan Pu's Qi and blood were in turmoil.
In the next moment, Yan Pu's eyes widened.
There was horror in his eyes.
The saber fell!
Yan Pu saw that the saber had fallen and he could not dodge, so he hurriedly shouted, "I surrender!"
Unfortunately, the saber had already fallen.
"Slash!"
The sharp edge of the saber slashed across Yan Pu's neck.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered, and Yan Pu's head flew out. Immediately after, it fell to the ground with a plop. His head rolled a few times before coming to a stop.
The headless body then fell to the ground.
After Zong Ba killed Yan Pu, he sneered, "It's too late to surrender now. I asked you to surrender first, but you didn't. How is it possible for you to surrender now? "
"Kill them!"
Zong Ba held his saber and charged into the crowd again.
At this moment, Zong Ba was like a god of death, constantly killing with his saber.
Zong Ba himself was even more ferocious.
Wherever he passed, the ambushers were killed one after another. And the already loose troops began to surrender at this time. Those who surrendered were constantly detained. The entire group did not resist, and only a few tried to escape.
In the blink of an eye, they were killed again.
The battle lasted for another fifteen minutes or so before it was completely over.
Zong Ba had someone count the battlefield.
Twelve soldiers under his command died in battle, and more than a hundred were injured. However, in this battle, they had killed as many as 212 people and captured 356 people. There were also a few who managed to escape.
Especially when Babur and Yan Pu were dead.
Zong Ba went straight to Meng Jiuyou's side and said, "County Magistrate, everything has been settled. In this battle, we have achieved a complete victory. From now on, there will be no more bandits in Fushan County. "
Meng Jiuyou quietly followed him.
After all, Du Qi was about to leave this time. After eliminating this group of bandits, he could report to Du Qi.
Meng Jiuyou said, "Clean up the battlefield, then set up camp and wait for Young Master to arrive."
"Yes!"
Zong Ba immediately arranged it.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, the group of people waited in place.
About half an hour later, Du Qi's carriage arrived on the official road.
