PNB Chapter 211 Kill him
Chapter 211 Kill him
Inside the tent, the tension between Ren Jingzhi and Bai Yuhao was as high as a fully drawn bowstring. A guard, panicked, rushed into the tent, panting and shouting, "General! It's bad! Our food and fodder have been burned!"
Bai Yuhao's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, and his eyes were full of shock and anger, like the dark clouds before a storm. He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
His heart was like a raging storm at this moment. The burning of food and grass meant that their army was in great trouble.
Bai Yuhao wondered angrily who had the courage and means to burn the food and fodder right under his nose.
His eyes shot towards Ren Jingzhi like a sharp sword, and he couldn't help but suspect that the fire was related to the man in front of him. Bai Yuhao was extremely angry and gave an order: "Capture him!" In an instant, the enemy soldiers rushed in like a tide and surrounded Ren Jingzhi.
The air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, like a powder keg ready to explode. Everyone's breathing was clearly audible, and everyone's face was full of vigilance and alertness.
Bai Yuhao glared at Ren Jingzhi and gnashed his teeth as he said, "General Yu, this fire came so strangely that I have to suspect it has something to do with you. Tell me, did you burn my food?"
Ren Jingzhi remained calm, but thought to himself: Bai Yuhao is as impulsive as expected, but I can't let him ruin my plan. He responded coldly: "General Bai, this is nonsense. I am alone here to negotiate with you, how can I burn your food?"
Bai Yuhao snorted coldly, "General Yu, you risked your life to come to negotiate for those prisoners overnight, which is suspicious. Now that the food and grass have been burned, and the timing is so coincidental, who else could it be but you?
Furthermore, you have been delaying the negotiation, clearly waiting for something. I think all this is a conspiracy you have carefully planned."
Ren Jingzhi remained calm and said, "General Bai, you are accusing me of something. I came here to negotiate sincerely, but you suspected me without reason. If you are so unreasonable, the negotiations cannot continue."
Bai Yuhao was furious and ordered directly: "Kill him! Use his life in exchange for our burned food supplies." His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear Ren Jingzhi into pieces.
After receiving Bai Yuhao's order, the soldiers immediately swung their swords at Ren Jingzhi. The swords flashed like silver snakes dancing, and with a sharp sound, it seemed to cut the air apart.
When Ren Jingzhi entered the enemy's camp, he had already taken off his weapons and was now empty-handed. Facing the enemy soldiers swinging their swords at him, he could only rely on his agility acquired from years of fighting and dodge like a civet cat.
The blade whizzed past him, and it was extremely dangerous, but he always managed to escape danger at the critical moment. His body was as fast as lightning, dodging left and right, and narrowly avoiding the sharp blade that was slashing at him again and again.
However, they were outnumbered after all, and the soldiers kept surrounding them, attacking more and more fiercely. Ren Jingzhi struggled to move among the crowd, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
After the fight, he had several shallow wounds on his body, his strength gradually declined, and he was gradually at a disadvantage.
At this time, Ren Jingzhi knew that he could not drag down Yu Gongyu, otherwise the rescue plan would fail. He immediately made a decision, "General Bai, don't kill me, I am willing to surrender."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuhao hurriedly stopped the soldiers attacking Ren Jingzhi. "Are you really willing to surrender? Are you going to play any tricks again?"
On the other side, Yu Gongyu led a dozen people to the largest tent in the middle of the camp under the cover of night, like a ghost. They were extremely careful with every step, as if the slightest footsteps could bring fatal danger.
From the investigation just now, Yu Gongyu was sure that this was where their soldiers and civilians were imprisoned. Their heartbeats were particularly clear in the silent night, and tension and expectation were intertwined.
After approaching the camp, Yu Gongyu and his companions carefully avoided the patrolling enemy troops. They were like shadows in the dark night, and every move they made was extremely cautious, not daring to make the slightest sound. At this moment, the atmosphere was as tense as a string about to break.
Suddenly, an enemy soldier turned his head and spotted them. His eyes widened instantly, and he was about to shout to warn them.
However, just as he opened his mouth, a dark shadow flashed behind him, and the enemy soldier felt a chill on the back of his neck, and fell down quietly before he could make any sound.
Then, two dark shadows quickly appeared and dragged his body to a hidden place. Their movements were skillful and agile, like hunters in the dark.
Three enemy soldiers not far away were startled by the strange noise here. They immediately stopped and walked towards this side vigilantly.
One of them whispered, "What was that sound just now? Is there anything going on?" The other one frowned and responded, "Be careful, there may be enemies sneaking in."
The third person clenched his weapon tightly and looked around. As they walked, they observed the surrounding situation and the atmosphere became more tense.
When the three of them got closer, our elite soldiers who had been waiting on the side attacked quickly like cheetahs. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and a few flashes of swords passed by, and the three enemy soldiers fell down completely silently before they even had time to react.
There was still shock and fear in their eyes, but they could no longer make any sound. Our elite soldiers immediately dragged them to a hidden place and quickly stripped off their clothes.
After a while, our elite soldiers changed into the enemy's clothes and stood guard in their original positions. Their expressions were calm and composed, as if they had completely integrated into the role of the enemy. They vigilantly observed the surrounding situation and waited for the next move.
Umiya Tama and others continued to move towards the tent, found a relatively weak position, quickly cut open the fabric of the tent, and sneaked in silently.
Inside the tent, the imprisoned soldiers and civilians were exhausted and desperate. When they saw someone coming in, they instinctively hid back. Some timid civilians began to cry, "Don't kill me, my child is still young and he can't leave me."
Yu Gongyu's heart ached when he saw this. There were about 200 captured soldiers and civilians, and the soldiers were covered in wounds. The shocking scene made his breathing stagnate slightly.
He raised his head slightly, and his eyes slowly swept over the crowd, his heart full of compassion and determination. He said in a steady and gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I am here to save you."
At this time, a tall but slightly haggard man in the crowd caught Yu Gongyu's attention. He was wearing tattered armor, his hair was messy, his face was covered with dust and fatigue, but his eyes still revealed determination and courage.
Yu Gongyu guessed that this person might be General Li. So he asked, "Who among you is General Li?"
The man slowly took a step forward, a look of pain on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "It is because of my incompetence that Yuancheng County was lost."
Yu Gongyu stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much, we are too late. Let's not talk about this for now, let's evacuate the people as soon as possible."
