However, these terms of his were nothing special; any Halberdier would have them.
Only the term 【Xiao Fang Qu Shuai】, Zhang Chen was seeing for the first time.
Without time to think, Duan Hei Hu had ridden his horse forward, and with one strike, slashed directly at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was not to be outdone and immediately raised his spear to meet the attack.
Both of them had the 【Superhuman Strength】 term, their power was equal, and under this blow, a huge force made their palms slightly numb.
Duan Hei Hu, however, showed a look of astonishment. He had thought this blow would knock the opponent off his horse, but he never expected Zhang Chen, who seemed frail, to have such great strength, able to match him!
Zhang Chen forcefully parried his ghost-head broadsword, straightened his spear, and thrust it directly at his chest.
"You bandit, take a thrust from my spear!"
Duan Hei Hu was greatly alarmed, quickly parried with his saber, turned his horse to retreat, and shouted orders, "Advance! Advance! All of you, advance for me!"
At his command, the group of bandit Soldiers rushed forward, shouting. The bandit Soldiers were numerous and powerful, surrounding Zhang Chen and his men in an instant.
Duan Hei Hu stood outside the encirclement, and seeing that Zhang Chen and his men were surrounded, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahahaha! Kid, you are surrounded, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender!"
Hmph? Surrounded?
Zhang Chen couldn't help but sneer.
The Trapped Camp, trapped in the enemy formation, becomes braver the more they fight. These bandits thought they had the upper hand, little did they know, this move was precisely boosting our side!
At this moment, he heard a fierce shout from beside him, "Trapped Camp! Charge into the formation, advance without hesitation! Kill!"
Gao Shun gave a fierce shout, and the Halberdiers' momentum instantly surged. Each one wielded the steel saber in his hand, like fierce tigers charging into a flock of sheep, frantically harvesting the lives of the bandit Soldiers.
In an instant, a pile of corpses appeared around them!
Seeing this, the other bandit Soldiers were all terrified and dared not advance.
These people in front of them were not Soldiers at all, they were clearly possessed by the God of Slaughter!
"Monsters! Monsters! They are unkillable monsters!"
A bandit Soldier was scared out of his wits, dropped his weapon, and turned to flee.
Duan Hei Hu took out a long bow and shot an arrow. The fleeing mountain bandit was pierced through the chest by an arrow and fell to the ground dead.
"Advance for me! Those who retreat, die!"
Duan Hei Hu's eyes were fierce, as if they were about to shoot fire.
"Brother Duan, how about... we retreat? This kid's Soldiers are a bit strange!"
He was not from "Black Tiger Fort". This time, he came with his brothers to help at the invitation of the Second Boss of Black Tiger Fort. But in the recent battle, more than half of his brothers were killed or injured, which made him feel a pang of heartache.
As soon as these words were spoken, Duan Hei Hu was instantly furious. He raised his ghost-head broadsword, pointed it at him, and shouted, "Chen Heizi, are you trying to disrupt my army's morale? Believe it or not, I'll chop you down!"
Seeing this, that person was startled and dared not speak further.
Among the mountain bandits in this area, "Black Tiger Fort" was the strongest. Duan Hei Hu had also been a Yellow Turban Leader, far from comparable to these ordinary bandits, so these people naturally dared not disobey him.
But Zhang Chen and these four hundred Halberdiers were clearly not someone they could deal with. Fighting on would only be sending themselves to their deaths for nothing.
The other mountain bandit leaders were also secretly regretting at this moment that they shouldn't have believed the Second Boss and come to get involved in this mess.
Just at this moment, a thick plume of smoke rose in the distance.
Immediately after, thick smoke also rose from two other locations successively.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel secretly pleased; the other three teams had succeeded!
At this moment, those mountain bandit leaders also saw the thick smoke in the distance, and their faces instantly turned pale.
How could they not recognize it? That was where their own mountain forts were located!
"Not good, it's a trap, brothers, quickly return to the mountain forts!"
The mountain bandit leader named Chen Heizi could no longer stand it at this moment. He immediately ordered his subordinates and turned his horse to leave.
Among the bandit Soldiers, hundreds immediately turned around, wanting to retreat.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
"Chen Heizi, you're looking for death!"
"Duan Hei Hu! My home has been taken by others, who has time to risk their life with you! Quickly get out of my way, otherwise, I'll fight you to the death! Who's afraid of whom!"
Where there was one, there was another. Seeing this, the other mountain bandit leaders also followed suit, immediately summoning their subordinates, wanting to return to reinforce their own forts.
No matter how much Duan Hei Hu cursed, these people didn't care at all.
Their homes had been taken by others, who still cared about his life or death!
Seeing that they could no longer be suppressed, in an instant, these bandit Soldiers became a chaotic mess.
At this moment, Duan Hei Hu's eyes were full of unwillingness and astonishment.
What's going on? Weren't those Soldiers just refugees recruited less than a month ago? How could they be so capable of fighting?
Weren't there only seven hundred County Soldiers? Why could they still sneak attack the other three forts?
That's right, the intelligence must have been wrong. There are definitely more than seven hundred Soldiers in Guangping County! Yes, it must be like this!
Just as he was in a daze, the thin man beside him quickly urged his horse forward and shouted at him, "Boss, quickly retreat! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"Ah! Retreat... retreat... quickly retreat!"
Duan Hei Hu had lost his will to fight at this moment. After fighting for so long, his side had lost more than half their numbers, while the other side was almost completely unharmed. Now, the other three forts had also retreated one after another, and morale was shattered. How could they still fight this battle!
Damn it! This kid surnamed Zhang, I'll settle this score sooner or later!
Duan Hei Hu cursed inwardly and turned his horse to leave. Seeing that the Boss had retreated, the bandit Soldiers instantly lost discipline, scattering to flee for their lives, trampling on each other.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Chen's lips curled up slightly.
Leaving? Today, not a single one of them will get away!
"County Commandant Gao, it's up to you now."
Gao Shun looked at the routed Soldiers in front of him, pointed his saber, and ordered, "Kill!"
The Halberdiers were like fierce tigers descending from the mountain, charging into the bandit formation and slaughtering them wantonly. The bandit Soldiers had lost their morale and were now like lambs to the slaughter, allowing the Halberdiers to massacre them.
And Gao Shun leaped out on his horse, heading directly for Duan Hei Hu.
"You scoundrel! Where do you think you're going!"
Duan Hei Hu was terrified in his heart and couldn't help but turn his head, only to be met by Gao Shun's saber and chopped off his horse.
Zhang Chen watched from the side and smiled slightly, seeing that Duan Hei Hu was now decapitated, with a few term cards scattered around him.
Plunder!
Zhang Chen's mind stirred, and he silently collected the three terms 【Superhuman Strength】, 【Basic Saber Technique】, and 【Valiant】.
The Second Boss beside him was also scared out of his wits at this moment, failing to hold onto the reins, and involuntarily fell off his horse, trampled to death by the horse.
In a moment, the Halberdiers swept through like a whirlwind, completely slaughtering this group of bandits.
As for the bandits from the three forts who fled, their fate was naturally the same.
As soon as they returned to the forts, they saw that the forts were on fire on all sides, with corpses everywhere. Before they could even order to put out the fires, the Halberdiers who had been waiting for a long time charged out from all directions and instantly annihilated them.
This battle lasted less than half a day. The bandit Soldiers from the four forts were all exterminated, while not a single Halberdier died, with only a dozen or so suffering minor injuries.
Zhang Chen immediately ordered that all the wealth and goods from the four forts be confiscated and the people imprisoned in the forts be rescued.
Not long after, a Soldier reported that the inventory of wealth and goods had been completed, totaling five hundred thousand coins, over five hundred shi of grain, and countless weapons and horses. Over a hundred people who had been abducted in the forts had all been rescued.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen was very pleased.
After the four forts were plundered, Zhang Chen and Gao Shun immediately led the seven hundred Halberdiers back in triumph.
Just as they reached the city gate, they saw many people gathered on both sides of the road along the way.
When Zhang Chen and his group arrived, everyone, as if by prior agreement, bowed down.
The person leading them knelt in front and bowed his head.
As soon as Zhang Chen saw that person, he was startled, quickly dismounted, went forward, and helped him up.
