Bai Wusheng made two mistakes.

The first was to underestimate the enemy. In the depths of his heart, he naturally believed that the Fire Phoenix Army, which had only three hundred or so people within the Moqiu State, was like a mouse that could not be shamed. He had never thought that his opponent would actually dare to form a formation and launch a joint charge with a Knight.

The second was that it was too fast. When Bai Wusheng was cursing Xu Keding for not cooperating together and continued to fight for military merits, he made the same mistake and it was even worse. From the initial full speed chase to the repeated increases later on, Bai Wusheng's underlings were no longer organized. More than five thousand people had been pulled into a long line of soldiers. The two hundred guards around him were also exhausted. Even so, he had specially stopped over a thousand of his soldiers, ordering them to stop Xu Keding near his Sunset Ditch.

These two mistakes had created a tragic ending for Bai Wusheng.

When Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi took the lead and flew over, Bai Wusheng knew that he was finished. Some of the guards even subconsciously raised the water sac in their hands to block the blade that was hacked down heavily by the Fire Phoenix Army.

Qu Feizhi did not recognize Bai Wusheng at all, he had just subconsciously rushed towards the man dressed in the brightest light, and with one slash, chopped off the other party's head, raised it up high, and shouted loudly, "The main general is dead! Do not kill those who surrender! "

When he shouted, many Moqiu Soldier were stunned. Chen Chu, on the other hand, did not even think about cooperating with Qu Feizhi's actions to be magnanimous at all. Carrying a group of Knights, he flew past Qu Feizhi's side and used the military knife in his hand to cut open the necks of the stunned Moqiu Soldier.

The main general was killed and the front team suffered heavy casualties. In a short while, the Moqiu Soldier who had been running behind, gasping for breath, collapsed. The place where they had gathered had now become a execution ground, where they had lost their lives.

In the front, charge at the middle, and in the back. The soldiers behind him had no idea what was going on. All he knew was that the soldiers in front of him were running like crazy, shouting as they ran that the enemy was coming and that General Bai was dead in battle. No one knew if it was true or false, and no one was willing to risk their lives to identify it. A huge panic instantly engulfed the entire team. Especially when Qu Feizhi began to throw the small jar of kerosene s in his hands towards those soldiers who were barely able to gather together to resist, this fear had reached its peak.

If two armies fought each other, three hundred against five thousand, there was not a single chance for the Fire Phoenix Army to win. But all the Moqiu Army generals had made a habitual mistake: This was not the Phoenix City Pass! Fire Phoenix Army did not have anything that they needed to protect. They did not need to defeat or destroy.

There was no suspense as three hundred squadrons of cavalrymen panted over five thousand runners. The three hundred cavalrymen were like three hundred vicious shepherds and the several thousand Moqiu Soldier s were like a flock of sheep running for their lives. They were driven away mercilessly and did not dare to stop in their tracks to resist. Those who were slow would have their heads chopped off by the blade, while those piled up would be burnt to ashes by the kerosene. They could only run, run with all their might, and only needed to run faster than their comrades to run a little bit away from death.

Some of them tried to jump into the Surging Waves River at the side, but the smooth surface of the river could not stop the kerosene from burning up. Some of them were burnt to ashes by the flames the moment they appeared, screaming miserably as they drowned in the water.

's team was chopped into pieces right in front of his eyes, and when he raised his head and saw the red cavalry, which looked like a demon from afar, he started to panic. At the same time, he ordered the frontline to turn around and form an array. He had to stop the attacks of the cavalry and Bai Wusheng's remnants.

This was yet another fatal order.

Originally, Xu Keding's team had already left their Sunset Ditch and were entangled with Bai Wusheng's team behind, who had been ordered to intercept. Then, when Xu Keding realized that something was wrong, he ordered the frontline to return back into the ditch, and now he was instructing the frontline to turn around and form the formation again. Two contradictory orders were passed down in a short period of time, and the team of over two thousand people was thrown into chaos.

Bai Wusheng's remnants also acted as the vanguard of the Fire Phoenix Cavalry. They rushed towards the Sunset Ditch while wailing and begging towards Xu Keding's troops: "We're all brothers from the same clan, let's give them a way out!"

Some of the handicapped veterans who had already lost their mind raised their blades towards Xu Keding's soldiers. They did not care if they were brothers or not, and only wanted to hide in their Sunset Ditch to find a way out. The soldiers who saw their own robes being cut were also furious, they pulled out their blades and fiercely slashed back.

It was a mess, the western part of the Sunset Ditch was completely thrown into chaos.

Xu Keding's team was already going crazy, they were executing the two contradictory orders of "turn around". There was a team in the ditch, who did not know of the situation, still urging them impatiently, and outside the ditch, there was the attack from Bai Wusheng's broken body. What was even more terrifying was that the devilish red knight had already revealed their figures.

Qu Feizhi took the lead and rushed to the western entrance of Sunset Ditch, he bent down to take out the kerosene from under the saddle and ruthlessly smashed it into the group of messy soldiers. Behind him, a few Knights who were holding onto bow decked with horn of an animal s shot out flaming arrows at the place where the kerosene had landed. The place where the flames rose, the Moqiu Soldier's screams had reached their peak. The following riders repeated their movements of throwing out kerosene s and rockets. After three rounds, the western entrance of Sunset Ditch had already turned into a sea of fire.

After igniting the fire, Qu Feizhi did not stay any longer. He brought the rest of the cavalrymen to continue chasing after the remnants of Bai Wusheng's soldiers. The next performance would be handed over to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu reined his mount, and smiled while looking at the Moqiu Soldier s on the other side of the sea of flames. The riders under him got off their horses, took down their bags from the horses, and carefully laid them out on the ground. There were around twenty to thirty Knights by Chen Chu's side, replenishing their kerosene s continuously within the Sunset Ditch, blocking thousands of people inside.

kerosene and saltpeter were the two biggest gains Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi had previously.

According to the intelligence provided by the Fat Cui, they found out that there was a large amount of kerosene and saltpeter in the warehouse of the relay station outside of the Wolf Drinking Town. These items were mainly used to clear the silt from the river and to discharge the flood during the flood.

They first led their troops to attack the dock, creating the pretense of seizing the ship, indirectly forcing Moqiu State troops to adjust again, then raided the relay station warehouse. Even if the Wolf Drinking Town stations had already received the news, they would still not be able to stop the sudden attack of more than three hundred Fire Phoenix Empire elites.

Following that, Chen Qu and his companion estimated the number of kerosene and saltpeter and immediately agreed on the next step. A Qu Feizhi who never thought that things would get out of hand just to watch the show and a Chen Chu who was extremely ruthless, their methods of fighting would cause the entire Moqiu State to tremble!

Right now, Qu Feizhi's mission was basically complete, all that was left was Chen Chu's time! And to do this, it just happened that he had experience. Countless vengeful spirits outside the Phoenix City Pass remembered everything Chen Chu had done before.

His Knights carefully buried the saltpeter from the side of the river all the way to the mouth of the Sunset Ditch, then sprinkled it onto the kerosene. After everyone had retreated dozens of feet, a Knight lifted up a handheld crossbow and shot it towards the kerosene that was lying on the ground.

Flames rose, the sky crumbled and the earth cracked.

The Surging Waves River was enraged. The river water that had been calm for ten million years suddenly found an outlet to vent, and rushed down along the blasted ditch along the way, bringing along the still burning kerosene and blasted rocks into the Sunset Ditch.

At this moment, Xu Keding still had a trace of luck in his heart, because when he saw the Fire Phoenix Army setting fire at the mouth of the ditch, he was already somewhat afraid. Xu Keding almost subconsciously passed through the frontline, and personally gave the order for all the soldiers to turn around and exit the Sunset Ditch from the east side. He then went back to the original route to meet up with Han Mountain City. As a result, when the river water rushed into the Sunset Ditch, although Xu Keding's heart ached, he didn't lose his composure. As the river water rushed into the Sunset Ditch, although Xu Keding's heart ached, he did not lose his composure.

But when he saw the group of "robust men" standing in a formation on the east side of Sunset Ditch, Xu Keding was dumbstruck.

The road within Sunset Ditch was not wide, three carriages could move away, and if one walked, they could barely move away from the ten people in a row. Several rows of huge rocks were laid in front of Xu Keding, sixty meters away. Behind the rocks were the new set of battalion soldiers, who were already in formation.

Squatting at the very front of the line were five rows of Warriors with shields and sabers in hand. Xiu'er was squatting at the very front of the line as she glared at the incoming Moqiu Soldier through the cracks of the boulder. The fifty people led by the Xiu'er would be responsible for the first and most important wave of interception missions.

Xu Keding could not and did not dare to stop. He finally showed the demeanor of a high-ranking military officer. He drew his saber from his waist and shouted, "Follow me!" Countless Moqiu Soldier took out their weapons and followed behind their main general, shouting as they rushed up the slope.

"Push!" Xiu'er's delicate shout sounded out a moment later. Several tens of Wulian Border Army Warriors leapt forward, their shoulders firmly pressed against the huge boulder in front of them as they let out low and deep roars.

The gigantic boulder that was about half the height of a man first swayed and then loosened. In the end, it could no longer hold on against the soldiers' strength and tumbled down, smashing towards Moqiu Soldier.

Xiu'er's leg moved like lightning, with one kick she sent the biggest boulder flying, following that she brought the soldiers to retreat. By the time they were on either side, the second row of boulders began to be pushed and rolled.

This was the plan that the Xiu'er, strong man and the Fat Cui had set up to stop Yue Yang. Since he was worried about the new generation of battalion and their fighting capabilities, he might as well not make direct contact with them. In any case, none of these people could even think of escaping. They all had blood on their hands!

Just after Xu Keding had walked past the Sunset Ditch for the first time, strong man brought the soldiers of the battalion to move the big and small stones into the middle of the road. Now that Xu Keding was here, these stones became his most powerful weapons.

During the process of carrying the stones, the Xiu'er was enough to shock everyone who made up the new battalion. This seemingly soft and weak girl easily threw a rock as tall as half a person in the middle of the road. After a dong sound, no one dared to raise their head and look at this commander of the expedition who seemed to be unworthy of his title.

The flying stones were not a big problem for Xu Keding, at least the number of casualties was acceptable, but the road that was blocked by the huge rocks was the most fatal. The group of soldiers behind him were panicking as they rushed towards him. The river water behind them had already calmed down, and the flames had also died down, but the group of knights clad in red, who looked like devils or demons, were making an even more deadly threat.

Xu Keding was very clear that he had lost, and so had Bai Wusheng. The other party would definitely not line up and shout like before to attack him, waiting for him to not have the chance to form a resistance formation. They would repeat the scene that happened at the west side of Sunset Ditch once, using kerosene and saltpeter to burn himself and the soldiers inside this Sunset Ditch alive.

Under the despairing gazes of the soldiers around him, Xu Keding dismounted from his horse, and climbed onto a large flat rock with difficulty, with the help of the guards. Facing the enemy troops on the slope in front of him, he slowly kneeled to the ground, took off his helmet and placed it to the side, then lowered his head and shouted loudly. "General Xu Keding, you are willing to surrender! I beg you, please let our soldiers live! "

It was as if in that instant, the entire Sunset Ditch quietened down. This was the first time, the first time in the history of a thousand years, that a high ranking general directly under the had voluntarily surrendered to the army of Fire Phoenix Empire.

A moment later, all the Moqiu Soldier behind Xu Keding kneeled down, and the sound of their weapons hitting the ground resonated throughout the hall.

Chen Chu raised one of his arms up high, stopping his subordinate, the cavalry, as he coldly watched Xu Keding's back, which was a dozen or so meters away.

Xiu'er slowly stood up, and slowly walked to the front of the first battalion array, her voice low but imposing, "You are allowed to surrender!"
