"In the Bottomless Ruins... there might be something else. Back when I was in the Heaven Realm, I wanted to find it. A pity... I didn't get in."
"What is it?"
"A bit of phoenix true spirit...."
"Phoenix true spirit?"
"Yes. True phoenixes... are extremely rare. It's said that they're close to extinction. The phoenix sons and daughters in the Heaven Realm are not pure phoenix bloodlines. Based on our many years of exploration, we've finally found that there's an 80 to 90% chance that there's a bit of phoenix true spirit in the Bottomless Ruins. "
"You want me to help you find it?"
"Forget it, this kind of thing, just leave it to fate …" The big rooster let out a rare sigh, then looked at Chu Mo. "Lord Chicken has been searching for so many years, but there's no hope. If it's Lord Chicken's … it can't run away, not Lord Chicken's …"
Chu Mo thought about it, then nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll do my best to help you find it!"
The rooster looked at Chu Mo, his mouth twitching as though he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
Chu Mo walked up and patted the rooster on the shoulder. "Let's go back to the battle!"
......
Leng Hu sat in the central tent, his brows furrowed and his expression worried.
One of the strategists said solemnly, "General, the mining army of the Great Xia disappeared quietly after the Yan Huang City award ceremony. If I'm not wrong, they should have already entered the frontlines at this moment. He just didn't know where they were hiding. Who are they planning to ambush.... But according to my guess, there's an 80 to 90% chance that.... "
"What is it?" Leng Hu asked.
"It's us!" the strategist said.
Leng Hu's originally cold face became even more serious. He nodded and narrowed his eyes, saying, "What do you think … if we suddenly attack that old fart Fan Wudi at this time, do you think it'll work?"
The strategist fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "We've hung the no-battle sign high for a long time. That old man... must have guessed Da Qi's current policy."
"Delay...." Leng Hu said.
The strategist nodded and mumbled, "What if... what if we don't delay?"
The strategist mumbled. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and laughed loudly. "Brilliant … Brilliant! General is wise and farsighted! "
The cold expression on Leng Hu's face gradually melted. He leaned back on the chair and murmured, "Do you really think … our Great Qi must sit and wait for death? Old Fart Fan … This time, my Tiger Head Army will definitely … give you the most memorable lesson! "
The strategist looked at Leng Hu with gratification in his eyes.
A gentleman will die for his bosom friend!
With a general who could appreciate him, even if he died … it would not be a pity.
"Tonight!"
The advisor and Leng Hu said at the same time, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.
…
"How is it? Any news from the Tiger Head Battalion?" Chu Mo asked He Xu as he sat in the tent.
"For the time being, there hasn't been any movement. It seems like … they've decided to defend to the death." He Xu smiled and said, "The current Da Qi … what other tricks can they play?"
Chu Mo frowned slightly and said softly, "I feel that … something is wrong."
"Something's wrong?" He Xu said with a smile, "Young Master, aren't you thinking too much? Although Leng Hu is a fierce general, Young Master is well aware of the current situation of Great Qi. What can they do? "
As He Xu spoke, he suddenly frowned slightly. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he was not only ambitious, but also a capable young general.
There were some things that could not be understood in a short time, but that did not mean that they would not be realized in the future. After hearing Chu Mo's reminder, He Xu also narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time. Then, he looked at Chu Mo and said in unison, "Tonight!"
…
Nightfall.
The Tiger Head Battalion's main camp, which had long since extinguished its lights, was suddenly brightly lit. All the soldiers of the Tiger Head Battalion wore their armor and stood in formation. There were tens of thousands of soldiers, and military discipline was strict. Other than the sound of armor and footsteps, there was not the slightest sound.
Leng Hu sat on the back of a large horse, wearing silver armor. He held the reins in one hand and a long spear in the other. His eyes were cold as he looked at the Tiger Head Battalion that was already in formation.
"Tonight … we will launch a sneak attack on Fan Wudi's main camp!
"Today … we will avenge our comrades from the Broken Sky Mountain Range!
"I know that you are afraid and confused … but I want to tell you that we, the Tiger Head Battalion, are not cowards who are afraid of death!
"Tonight … some of our brothers will have to sacrifice their lives, but I hope that … when you see our comrades from the Broken Sky Mountain Range, you will have a clear conscience!
"Can you … do it?"
Leng Hu's roar echoed in the night sky.
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Head Battalion did not roar loudly, for fear of alerting Da Xia's scouts.
However, all of them raised the weapons in their hands and pointed them at the starry night sky!
Under the light of the torches, the weapons shone with a cold light.
"Kill!" Leng Hu shouted. He squeezed his horse's abdomen and led the charge into the night.
There were twenty thousand cavalrymen!
This was the most powerful force that Leng Hu had at his disposal.
If they wanted to launch a sneak attack, they had to be quick. They had to strike Da Xia's army with lightning speed.
The sound of the twenty thousand cavalrymen's hooves resonated on the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Chu Mo, who was charging toward Leng Hu's camp, focused for a moment before he jumped off his horse and put his ear to the ground to listen for a while. He stood up with a serious expression, looked at He Xu, and said, "What a coincidence … They actually chose to launch a sneak attack tonight as well!"
He Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Young Master, I will lead three thousand men … to launch a sneak attack on Leng Hu's camp. You lead nine thousand men … and attack Leng Hu's cavalry from behind!"
Chu Mo thought for a moment and said softly, "Give me three thousand men, and leave nine thousand for you! The number of men left in Leng Hu's camp … is not small! "
"He took at least ten thousand cavalrymen with him. Three thousand is too little …" He Xu said in a low voice, "We will each take six thousand!"
"I'll take five thousand, and you seven thousand … Stop arguing, this is an order!" Chu Mo looked at He Xu.
He Xu could only nod.
Chu Mo nodded, "Good, this battle can only be won, not lost! Bring our brothers … back alive! I will be waiting for you at my grandfather's camp with good wine and food! "
Both Chu Mo and He Xu knew that this battle was extremely important. Moreover, they did not have time to help each other.
If they did not succeed, they would die for a righteous cause.
He Xu laughed heartily. "Alright, Young Master, this time, you can truly witness … the power of our miners!"
As they spoke, the generals below had already divided the troops.
Both sides parted ways here!
Chu Mo led the five thousand miners toward Leng Hu's twenty thousand cavalrymen!
…
The camp on Da Xia's side was built against a mountain, and there was a large river in front of it.
However, it was late spring and early summer, and it was not yet the rainy season. The water of the river was at most knee-deep.
Moreover, there were not many rocks at the bottom of the river. Most of the ground was made of hard sand. Warhorses could cross the river in the blink of an eye.
Leng Hu's scouts had inspected the terrain here many times, including the area dozens of li up and down the river. They had checked everything, and there were no problems.
Therefore, Leng Hu was very certain that his sneak attack this time … would definitely succeed!
