Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci led 50,000 imperial forest troops, day and night, chasing Qiao Zhennan, and they were worried that Qiao Zhennan had entered the land of lawlessness, and the situation would be complicated at that time.

If they want to enter the land of lawlessness to arrest Qiao Zhennan, they will definitely be hindered by the forces of the land, so they must intercept the rebels in the Panlong Mountain Range and take Qiao Zhennan.

But they were lagging behind Qiao Zhennan, so it was naturally impossible to fly in front of Qiao Zhennan to intercept them, so they could only pin their hopes on Xiao Ke and Xiao Ke's steel battle group.

However, although the two pinned their last hope on Xiao Ke, they also knew what Xiao Ke's power was, and the steel war group was only more than 10,000 people, even if they poured out, they might not be the opponent of the 30,000 rebels of the immortal birds, not to mention the huge disparity in strength between Xiao Ke and Qiao Zhennan.

However, when they chased to the Panlong Mountain Range, the sentry suddenly rushed back to report: Xiao Ke blocked the rebels' escape route at the exit of Longtou Mountain, and also thwarted the rebels' breakthrough twice. Even Qiao Zhennan personally led his own soldiers to break through, but was frustrated by Xiao Ke. Qiao Zhennan failed to break through the siege, and lost his troops, not only Xu Zichun and Cai Heyang were killed in battle, but even Qiao Zhennan himself was seriously injured when he fought with Xiao Ke and was forced to retreat.

When Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci heard this, they were really surprised and delighted, and they naturally refused to believe that the steel war group had completely blocked the escape path of the immortal birds, and even Xiao Ke had hit Qiao Zhennan hard? The good news is that if the news is true, then Qiao Zhennan and the immortal bird rebels are already at the end of the crossbow, the bird in the cage, the turtle in the urn, as long as they fight with Xiao Ke back and forth, they can get it at their fingertips.

Zhang Tianci said excitedly: "Since this is the case, then we will immediately prepare to attack, wipe out the thief army in one go, and take Qiao Zhennan." ”

Gonggong Li waved his hand and said, "No! ”

Zhang Tianci was stunned when he heard this: "Why, could it be that Gonggong Li is worried that the news of the enemy is fake?" ”

50,000 Imperial Forest Army, the real controller is still Zhang Tianci, the commander of the Great Interior, Gonggong Li will not personally lead the soldiers to fight, after all, he is a eunuch, and if he leads the army, it will cause criticism. But Gonggong Li is one of the three envoys appointed by His Majesty, and he has the right to manage this matter, and Gonggong Li is His Majesty's confidant and often accompanies His Majesty, so Zhang Tianci does not dare to offend Gonggong Li, and he has to discuss everything with Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Li said with a smile: "It's not that I'm worried that the news is fake, but it's not easy for Xiao Ke and them to defeat Qiao Zhennan, and it is estimated that they are exhausted now." If we start a battle now, Xiao Ke and the others are too tired to cooperate, and they can't attack us on both sides, so our advantage will be greatly reduced. Secondly, our team, chasing here day and night, was also tired enough. The enemy is a caged beast, and there is no way to run, why don't we rest for one night, let Xiao Ke and our soldiers recover their strength, and fight again tomorrow, isn't it great? ”

Zhang Tianci nodded when he heard this: "What Gonggong Li said is reasonable, but they can't do nothing, just news." It is better for us to harass the enemy while resting, so that the enemy will not be able to rest properly, and tomorrow we will be in good spirits and the enemy will be in a state of limbo, and they will not be our opponents. ”

Gonggong Li laughed and said: "What Commander Zhang said is extremely true, there is the style of famous generals in ancient times!" ”

Zhang Tianci was quite complacent, and said proudly that he was going to let the soldiers of each battalion take turns to rest tonight, and also take turns to beat the drum and feint to attack the enemy, tossing and tossing the enemy.

At this time, the sentry ten-captain who came back to report the news suddenly said: "The two adults talked about harassment, and the subordinates remembered something and forgot to tell the two adults. ”

Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci, as well as the other commanders in the big tent, all fell on this sentry ten commanders, and Gonggong Li asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The sentry commander said: "Xiao Ke's steel wheel was not idle tonight, it seems that he organized those rebel prisoners, and let the prisoners sing the hometown folk songs of Zhongzhou to the rebel camp, arousing the rebels' homesickness. ”

Father-in-law Li and Zhang Tianci's eyes widened when they heard this, and Father-in-law Li exclaimed in amazement: "Good girl, this Xiao Ke, okay!" ”

Zhang Tianci also said: "Xiao Ke is a talent, his embattled method is better than my method of feintting to attack the enemy camp, after all, the heart is the first...... Well, we will take turns to rest tonight, and we will also take turns to sing to the enemy camp, and we will sing the folk songs of our hometown in Zhongzhou. ”

The Imperial Forest Army of Gonggong Li and Zhang Tianci were basically selected from the innocent civilian families of Qilin City in Zhongzhou, so everyone knew how to sing Zhongzhou folk songs.

Soon, Zhang Tianci's order was carried out.

In the second half of the night, the folk songs of his hometown spread to Qiao Zhennan's camp from all sides, and many of his soldiers lay on the cold ground and cried secretly. Is it all worth it?

People's hearts have changed!

After Qiao Zhennan drank the angel's kiss potion, he suppressed the injury in front of him. But in the second half of the night, singing from all sides, he still woke him up.

He didn't care about putting on his battle armor and robe, and with the support of two guards, wearing a white pajamas, he walked out of the big tent barefoot, and called: "What's the situation, what's the situation, who is singing?" No singing, no disturbing the morale of the army. ”

At this time, Zhong Xiu and Bai Junmo, two of their right-hand men, Zhong Xiu and Bai Junmo, who had been worried that their subordinates would mutiny, appeared in front of Qiao Zhennan with a large number of personal guards.

Bai Junmo hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Lord Qiao, it is the enemy who is singing the folk songs of our hometown, not our people. ”

Qiao Zhennan was stunned when he heard this, and muttered, "Li Taifu and Zhang Tianci also caught up?" ”

Bai Junmo: "Yes, they didn't attack for the time being, but like Xiao Ke, they let their subordinates sing hometown ballads to us, which disturbed our army's heart." ”

Zhong Xiu said at this time: "My lord, why don't we organize a battle again and break through again?" ”

Qiao Zhennan was standing in the moonlight at this time, his body looked extremely weak and thin, his temples were white, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

He shook his head with a miserable smile: "When our strength was at its peak, the breakthrough was intercepted by Xiao Ke, and now I am seriously injured, and the enemy has Li Taifu and Zhang Tianci leading tens of thousands of troops to arrive, do we still have a chance to break through?" ”

Qiao Zhennan's words made Zhong Xiu, Bai Junmo, and the people around them all change their faces drastically, and it doesn't matter if the soldiers have no confidence, but Qiao Zhennan, as the head of the immortal birds, even said that he couldn't break through, which was very demoralizing!

Zhong Xiu's face changed a few times, and then said: "Or, Bai Junmo and I, protect you, leave and promise, cross this steep cliff mountain, and just a few of us try to escape?" ”

Qiao Zhennan shook his head in a hurry: "Impossible, Xiao Ke, Li Taifu, and Zhang Tianci will definitely send strong people to watch our every move around our camp." We want to leave the camp without permission, and the strong men of the enemy will surely be able to feel the fluctuations of our Force energy and judge that we want to run. When the time comes, they will definitely send a strong team to chase and kill, and we will not be able to escape. ”

Zhong Xiu was anxious: "Then we are waiting?" ”

Qiao Zhennan: "It's not to be killed, it's to be captured, you surrender, you can still leave a life." ”

Zhong Xiu said loudly: "Surrender? My lord, although you are injured, if you drink the angel's kiss potion, you will be able to recover a certain amount of combat effectiveness tomorrow, and we still have 10-level powerhouses like me and Bai Junmo, and there are also 18,000 warriors, why should you give up resistance and surrender, we just fight with them, maybe there is still a chance? ”

Qiao Zhennan looked at Bai Junmo, who had not squeaked all the time and had a strange face, and then looked at the soldiers around him with different eyes, and smiled bitterly at Zhong Xiu: "Zhong Xiu, people's hearts have changed, if everyone is as loyal and brave as you, then even if it is the last soldier, I will fight to the end, but now everyone ...... Anyway, prepare to surrender, and don't bother me. ”

After Qiao Zhennan finished speaking, ignoring the stunned Zhong Xiu and the eyes of the subordinates around him, he laughed miserably and walked back to his big tent.
