Chapter 2816: Chapter 2815: One Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry Surrender

Song Jiang did not doubt his words at all and immediately ordered someone to lead the horse.

This warhorse was precisely the Yan Yun Dragon Blood Steed they had just rescued.

Yang Zhi patted the horse’s head, mounted, and regained his aura of valor, galloping downhill with his broadsword.

Gongsun Sheng laughed at Yang Zongbao, "Friend Yang, are you still looking for a magical showdown?"

Yang Zongbao coughed twice and replied, "I am here with my wife for a leisurely tour, who said anything about a magical showdown?"

Gongsun Sheng and others laughed, teasing, "Coming to this desolate wilderness for a leisurely tour?"

It was Mu Guiying who quickly reacted, blushing, finding an excuse, "We are just passing by, intending to visit Liangshan Island and see the Master Uncle."

Song Yuchan’s eyes sparkled and asked, "Who’s your Master Uncle?"

Mu Guiying replied, "The wife of the Master of Liangshan Island and her two sisters, originally Lady Sanxiao, and my master’s fellow disciples of the Sage of the Sect of Severance, are naturally my Master Uncle."

Song Yuchan joyfully said, "Then should I call you Sister?"

She pulled Yan Qing, urging to recognize this beautiful elder sister.

Mu Guiying curiously asked, "And you are?"

Song Yuchan replied, "We are the young disciples of the Master of Liangshan Island, by generation, aren’t you our Sister?"

Mu Guiying delightfully exclaimed, "So we are all family!"

She playfully pinched Yang Zongbao, complaining, "You didn’t ask clearly and brought me here, almost causing enmity with fellow sect members!"

Yang Zongbao didn’t know this connection, but to please his wife, he quickly clasped his fists to everyone, bowing, "Misunderstanding, all misunderstandings. Turns out, we are all family."

Everyone laughed, and Song Gongming immediately ordered drinks to invite Yang Zongbao and his wife over to drink and chat.

At that moment, chaos had emerged at the mountain foot, as Gao Qiu had sent people early on to clear out dissenters from the Yan Yun Iron Cavalry.

The escort of Yang Zhi had just returned to report, and the government forces had already encircled the Yan Yun Iron Cavalry.

Yang Zhi was rescued, Gao Qiu knew if delayed, chaos will ensue.

Immediately sent people into Yan Yun Iron Cavalry, to reclaim hearts and minds.

Suo Chao heard Yang Zhi was beheaded, got angry beyond control, drew his blade nearly slaughtered the messenger.

The messenger sneered in disdain threatening, "General Suo Chao, Yang Zhi is dead, please consider the bigger picture. Now you are completely surrounded by us, any reckless action is rebellion, and will be executed without question. If not for yourself, consider your brothers!"

Suo Chao was stopped by the generals behind him, Yang Zhi was beheaded, the despair of fox mourning the rabbit was felt by all.

But now rebellion obviously wasn’t suitable.

Suo Chao cursed towards the end, "We are brothers in the Yan Yun Iron Cavalry, Yang Zhi was killed, and that’s how you treat him? Do you think by siding with Gao Qiu, you can enjoy wealth and prestige? He will clear you out like Yang Zhi and replace with his own people!"

The hearts of the generals were moved, all startled by Suo Chao.

The messenger desperately shouted, "Suo Chao, do you intend to rebel?"

Suo Chao cursed, "Gao Qiu scoundrel, vilifying virtue. We, Yan Yun Iron Cavalry, fought life and death for Great Song, didn’t expect to end in such fate. Today I’ll rebel against Gao Qiu! Brothers, follow me to fight out, let’s go back to Yanbei, and not serve here!"

He didn’t intend to rebel against the court, just to lead everyone away from here.

A group of generals agreed to follow him.

No need for Suo Chao to act, they drew their blades, slaughtering all persuading officers.

Earlier they arrogantly incited unease in everyone, pent up frustrations erupting.

"Rebel, rebel, all rebelled!"

A messenger sent a signal to the sky, a bang, fireworks exploded.

All government soldiers received the signal, launched attack on Yan Yun Iron Cavalry.

Shields at front, spears at back.

Nearly two hundred thousand troops, trampling the ground, boomed slaughtering Yan Yun Iron Cavalry.

At this time, Fire God Cannons roared from Green Stone Pass, shooting crimson arcs below.

Bombs fell, dense bombardment.

Gao Qiu’s two hundred thousand troops were plowed a bloody route by bombs.

Yang Zhi spurred out, charged through the bloody path with Suo Chao shouting, "Follow me!"

Suo Chao and generals saw him, all joyfully shouted, "Brother Yang, you’re not dead?"

Yang Zhi wielded his sword, slaughtering two government troops with Suo Chao, yelling, "Gao Qiu scoundrel, cannot kill me!"

He led at front, with ten thousand Yan Yun Iron Cavalry like a sword penetrating the government troop encirclement.

In an instant, blood stained the desert.

This sharp knife swept aside, carving a bloody route, like cutting through a black tide, rushing towards Green Stone Pass.

Fire God Cannons on Green Stone Pass boomed, covering from behind in full range.fire

Over dozens of miles front, full of smoke and bombardment.

Government soldiers halted by fire, casualties everywhere, already terrified, dared not advance a step.

Ten thousand cavalry unharmed, broke through the encirclement entirely.

Suo Chao and generals sighed in relief, but seeing Yang Zhi leading them to Green Stone Pass, all exclaimed, "Brother Yang, aren’t we heading the wrong way?"

Yang Zhi led, boldly told Suo Chao and brothers, "Direction is correct, I’m bringing you to Duke of Qi. Earlier just killed government troops, even returning to Yanbei is a rebel. To survive, follow Duke of Qi. Then eliminate traitors, revive the court, we’ll be pillars of the country, better than suffering under court villains."

Suo Chao frowned, generals weighed pros and cons.

Yang Zhi told them, "I won’t force anyone, anyone can leave to Yanbei from Green Stone Pass. But if trust me Yang Zhi, come with me. I, Yang Zhi swear, will lead everyone to unprecedented achievements, glorify ancestors and benefit descendants!"

Everyone knew, earlier killed Gao Qiu’s men.

Even returning to Yanbei might not ensure safety.

After all, the court full of traitors, even Yanbei border governor Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing’s son-in-law.

Returning would surely be held accountable by the court.

After pondering, Suo Chao immediately led, kneeled by horse, "Willing to follow General Yang’s orders!"

"I, Yang Zhi will not let everyone down!"

Yang Zhi mounted wielding his sword with generals commanding, "Up the mountain!"

Ten thousand cavalry followed, again ascending Green Stone Pass.

This time no arrow fire from above, gates opened, Song Gongming personally led out to welcome.

Already prepared provisions, steamed buns, and cooked large pots of food.

Soldiers came upon the mountain, food immediately served.

Sighted the food, soldiers’ worries vanished, each took a meal, ravenously devouring.

Two days without food, stomachs empty long ago!

Gao Qiu watched from afar, lung nearly exploded, furiously cursing, "Rebel, rebel, all rebelled. These rebel generals born rebellious. See, wasn’t I right? Before anything happened, they all rebelled, sheer unforgivable crimes."

Below generals chilled, thought General Yang’s actions forced by you.

Now you shamelessly curse generals!

Court so, all due to civil officials corrupting the nation.
