Night gradually fell.
There was a waning moon on the night of February. This moonlight wasn't like June or July where the stars were bright and the moon hung high in the sky. Even though there was a waning moon in the sky, the visibility was very low. Fortunately, those who were used to it could still see it.
There was an army stationed behind the Fire Nation's camp.
The one leading the army was Yan Three.
He led the army and rushed all the way. He didn't dare to waste any time. Hence, they arrived at the back of the Fire Nation's camp in the shortest time possible and hid in the forest.
At the same time, Yan Three also arranged for scouts to gather information.
When Yan Three arrived, it was already afternoon. Hence, he sent scouts to gather information. They didn't encounter any battles. They just kept an eye on the Fire Nation's camp.
In the forest, Yan Three, Zhao Tianxin, Yang Zheng, Zhong Yunwu, and the others were gathered together.
Their expressions were solemn.
Yan Three looked at Zhao Tianxin and said, "Mr. Zhao, we've arrived. Based on the current situation, all we need to do now is wait for Chen Can to attack Qingniu Mountain. Then, we'll attack Chen Can's camp and burn everything down. Then, we'll attack Chen Can's camp from behind. What do you think? "
Zhao Tianxin said, "General Yan is wise. This is the most suitable arrangement under the current circumstances."
Yan Three grinned as well.
He had a smile on his face.
Now that he was in the army, he often read books on the art of war. After all, Du Qi's identity was extraordinary. In the future, Du Qi's Xia Xia would definitely establish a foothold in the Great Qin Empire. He might even conquer the world. Hence, he had to ensure that he could catch up with Du Qi quickly. He couldn't let himself fall behind.
If he fell behind, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the development. He wouldn't have a chance to rise up.
Yan Three was ambitious.
He wanted to make a name for himself. He even wanted to be made a Marquis. Although he could be considered a general in the army now, his current insignificant ability was far from being conferred the title of Marquis and General.
Hence, he had to work hard.
Yan Three said politely, "Mr. Zhao, do you think there are any loopholes in my arrangement?"
Zhao Tianxin said, "There aren't any loopholes. It's just a small flaw."
Yan Three was a smart person. How could he not understand what was going on? His expression was solemn as he said solemnly, "Mr. Zhao, please enlighten me. This is related to military affairs, so you don't have to be modest. Just say whatever you want to say. Everything we do now is to achieve victory in this battle. "
Zhao Tianxin smiled and said, "If that's the case, this old man will overstep his boundaries."
Yan Three said, "Mr. Zhao, you scholars are always so shy. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not a monster. Do you think I'll eat you? "
Zhao Tianxin smiled and said, "There is no problem with General Yan's plan. Right now, all we need to do is to deal the finishing blow. For example, after this battle, Chen Can will definitely be defeated. "
"In that case, if Chen Can wants to escape, it would naturally be best if he were killed on the spot. What if he failed to kill him on the spot? That's why we need an ambush. "
"Therefore, my suggestion is to leave some soldiers behind when we attack at night. They will guard Chen Can's escape route and block his escape route."
"This arrangement might not work."
Zhao Tianxin's expression was solemn as he said, "However, if it does work, it will be of great use. A Fire Nation with Chen Can and a Fire Nation without Chen Can are two different things. That's why I think we need to leave some soldiers behind to block Chen Can's escape route and cut off his escape route. "
"That's great!"
Yan Three's eyes lit up as he became excited.
He stared at Zhao Tianxin and said, "Mr. Zhao, you're indeed an expert. Luckily, His Highness arranged for you to help. If it wasn't for your help, I would have missed this. This is the best opportunity, the best opportunity to win. "
Zhao Tianxin stroked his beard and said, "General Yan, you're too kind."
Yan Three said, "I'm not trying to flatter you. Among His Highness' subordinates, scholars like you have always been the most popular. You're the most highly regarded and respected people like you. This is especially so for His Highness. His Highness has always been courteous to people like you. Mr. Zhao, you will definitely have a bright future. Mr. Zhao, I want you to remember what I said. Being able to follow His Highness is the accumulated good karma of your ancestors. It is also a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life. Grasp it well and don't miss this opportunity. "
Zhao Tianxin felt strange when he heard this. Why did Yan Three say that?
Was there a reason?
Zhao Tianxin said, "General Yan, is there a reason behind this? Can you tell me? "
Zhong Yunwu and Yang Zheng looked at Yan Three.
They were curious.
They admitted that Du Qi was powerful. However, Yan Three's words were a little too harsh.
Yan San grinned as a smug look appeared on his face. He said, "How should I put this? Hmm, I'll put it simply. His Highness is not ordinary. "
Zhao Tianxin said, "How is he not ordinary? Of course, I know about His Highness's situation. In just a year, he was able to build up such a huge empire. He is indeed powerful. Heroes are born in troubled times. His Highness is very powerful. "
Yan Three said, "If that's the case, he is actually very ordinary. This is because there are too many people like him in the Great Qin Empire. They were able to build up their empire in a short period of time. "
Zhao Tianxin understood what Yan Three meant.
What other secrets did he have?
Zhao Tianxin smiled and asked, "General Yan, what's the secret behind this? General Yan, please do not hesitate to enlighten me. After all, we don't know anything. We can only rely on you to guide us. "
Yan Three said in a deep voice, "His Highness is not from the Great Qin Empire."
Whoosh!
Zhao Tianxin, Zhong Yunwu, and Yang Zheng's expressions changed slightly. They were shocked.
He was not from the Great Qin Empire.
Where was he from?
Zhao Tianxin had countless questions in his heart. He asked, "General Yan, where is His Highness from?"
Yan Three said, "He's from the Great Xia Empire to the west of the Great Qin Empire."
Zhao Tianxin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He suddenly said, "Speaking of the empire to the west of the ocean, I know something. A few years ago, the Great Qin Empire sent people there to expand their territory and develop their strength. However, I didn't expect His Highness to be from Xia Xia. Moreover, he has established Xia Xia in the Great Qin Empire. "
Zhong Yunwu and Yang Zheng both nodded. They were a little surprised because they didn't think that something like this would happen.
Du Qi was an outsider.
He was from Xia Xia.
Yan Three stroked his beard and continued, "In fact, His Highness is not only from Xia Xia. His Highness is not an ordinary person. You should have seen His Highness's general, Mordor. He is invincible and no one can defeat him. This person was brought here by His Highness. His Highness was the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire in the first place. He abdicated and let his son inherit the throne. Then, he came to the Great Qin Empire to expand their territory. "
Zhao Tianxin frowned when he heard this. He said, "General Yan, I believe you when you say that His Highness is from Xia Xia Empire and is an outsider. However, you said that His Highness is the emperor of Xia Xia Empire. Are you sure? "
Yan Three snorted and said, "Look at His Highness. Does he look like an ordinary person? His Highness gives off a dignified and majestic aura. I have been following His Highness for a long time. How can I not know? Moreover, someone from Xia Xia Empire came to His Highness last year. He is not a simple person. Now, he is the Minister of Revenue and is in charge of Xia Xia's money. I heard that there will be more people coming. This matter can't be faked. Especially since you have met His Highness before. You will know His Highness's strength and ability after thinking about it. "
Zhao Tianxin, Zhong Yunwu, and Yang Zheng thought about it carefully after hearing this.
They had met Du Qi before.
They knew that Du Qi's methods were not simple. He was also very courageous and magnanimous.
Yan Three continued, "Just know about this. Don't spread it around. General Liu Che and General Mordor are His Highness's confidants. Luo Binwang is also one of them. After all, those words had all come from their mouths. Anyway, it can't be faked. Moreover, His Highness doesn't have to lie. "
Zhao Tianxin nodded as well.
With Du Qi's status, there was indeed no need for him to lie. If he did, it would be equivalent to slapping himself in the face.
Zhao Tianxin said, "Don't worry, General Yan. I know what to do."
Zhong Yunwu said, "I know too."
Yang Zheng said, "We are not gossipy people. We won't spread it around. We will keep it a secret."
Yan Three smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Anyway, work hard. His Highness' foundation and strength are not ordinary. If you follow His Highness well, it is possible for you to become a general or a marquis in the future, or even become a minister. "
Zhao Tianxin and the others nodded.
All of them had some ideas in their hearts.
Du Qi's background was not simple. This meant that they had someone to support them.
This was a good opportunity.
While Yan Three and the others were chatting, the sky had already turned dark. However, everyone hid in the forest and did not light a fire. After all, if they lit a fire, they would be easily discovered. Hence, they had to hide for the time being.
"Rustle rustle rustle!"
At that moment, a scout ran back.
The scout came to Yan Three's side and reported, "General, I just received news that the Fire Nation's army has started to move. They are heading towards Green Bull Mountain."
"Good!"
Yan Three instantly became excited.
He ordered, "Scout them again!"
"Yes!"
The soldier turned around and left.
After the scout left, Yan Three immediately ordered the army to reorganize. However, the army did not move out immediately. Instead, they waited for a while. About 15 minutes later, everyone started to move out.
The army came out of the dark forest. They did not light any torches. They used the moonlight and the light from the fire in the Fire Nation's camp to move forward.
Yan Three's ambush location was not too far away. In less than 15 minutes, they had already reached the back of the Fire Nation's camp. At that moment, the sound of cannons could be heard from the direction of Green Bull Mountain. There were even shouts of killing.
The massacre had already begun.
Yan Three did not hesitate and immediately gave the order to attack.
Once the order was given, the army no longer hesitated and started to attack crazily.
One by one, the soldiers charged into the camp and killed their way into it. As Chen Can had left with his army, there were only a few soldiers left in the camp. This group of soldiers was instantly killed.
After Chen Can's camp was breached, Yan Three immediately ordered people to light a fire. Flames started to burn everywhere. In a short period of time, the entire camp turned into a sea of fire.
The flames spread and lit up the land.
It also chased away the darkness.
Yan Three immediately mobilized his army and started to charge towards Green Bull Mountain.
When Yan Three's army started to move towards Green Bull Mountain, the massacre at Green Bull Mountain was already in full swing. As Chen Can had taken Lan Jiuzhen's suggestion, the soldiers under his command sneaked over and only attacked when they reached the foot of Green Bull Mountain. However, Du Qi's army was watching them near the foot of the mountain. That was why they were discovered.
A series of cannons were fired at the Fire Nation's soldiers. Although a large number of soldiers had closed the distance, causing the artillery to lose its effect, once the distance was closed, the grenades would kill a wave of enemies. Only then would it be close combat.
Both sides started to fight hand-to-hand.
Du Qi was also on the mountain. He watched as Liu Che commanded the battle.
The battle was still ongoing.
Du Qi waited quietly. He was not in a hurry. He watched as the massacre continued. For the time being, both sides were evenly matched. There was no clear winner or loser.
Just as Du Qi was waiting quietly, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, there is a fire in the distance. It should be the Fire Nation's camp. It has been breached and our men are here. "
Du Qi immediately looked over.
Although he could not see clearly in the dark, it was enough to see the huge fire.
Du Qi was instantly energized.
His chance was here.
Du Qi ordered, "Liu Che!"
"Here!"
Liu Che immediately replied.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Yan Three's team has achieved victory. Now, we can start the battle. The real battle begins now. "
"Yes!"
Liu Che immediately ordered, "Sound the drums. All troops, attack!"
"Kill!"
Liu Che shouted.
There was still a group of soldiers on Green Bull Mountain who did not participate in the battle. Now that the order was given, all the soldiers began to kill. Liu Che also joined the battle.
When Liu Che was shouting to kill, he was also shouting that the Fire Nation's camp had been breached. He spread the news that Chen Can's rear was lost and encouraged his soldiers. When the soldiers heard this, they all saw the blazing fire in the distance.
Immediately, the soldiers were in high spirits.
Their killing intent was even stronger.
Chen Can was currently commanding at the foot of the mountain. He was watching the battle from afar. However, when Liu Che's men all came out of the frontlines, Chen Can was a little surprised. Liu Che had started to throw in all his men so quickly.
It was a little strange!
Something was wrong.
Chen Can was puzzled. When he looked around, he suddenly realized that the rear was on fire.
Thump!
Chen Can's heart instantly sank.
How could this be?
Why was there a fire in the direction of his camp? Was it an attack?
"Kill!"
At that moment, shouts could be heard.
The shouts came from the rear. They came from afar and came closer. The shouts were densely packed and kept ringing. Along with the shouts, a group of soldiers charged out of the encirclement. After all, there were flames everywhere on Green Bull Mountain. In addition, the blazing fire at the rear of the camp dispelled the darkness and lit up the surroundings. Some places could be seen clearly.
Yan Three's army had already charged over.
They blocked Chen Can's path of retreat.
At that moment, Chen Can's heart sank.
When Lan Jiuzhen saw the situation, he was also stunned. He shouted, "General Yan, the situation is not good. If we continue to delay, it will be very disadvantageous to us. Withdraw, withdraw immediately and leave! "
Peng Qihua said, "We are being attacked from the front and back. If we retreat, we will completely collapse."
Lan Jiuzhen said, "It's better to collapse now than to be killed. If we stay and fight, we will definitely lose if we are attacked from the front and back. If we continue to delay, we will be courting death. "
Peng Qihua immediately stopped talking.
This was because Lan Jiuzhen's words made sense. Delaying for time at this moment was akin to courting death, and even more so, death.
Chen Can was not an indecisive person. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Green Bull Mountain. He sighed in disappointment. In the blink of an eye, Chen Can ordered, "Retreat! Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Chen Can led Lan Jiuzhen, Peng Qihua, and the others and quickly retreated.
After all, the current situation was very disadvantageous.
As soon as the army retreated, the army behind them immediately encountered Yan Three. The army was in a very disadvantageous situation. On the other hand, Xia Xia's soldiers on Green Bull Mountain also began to chase after the Fire Nation's soldiers.
Both sides began to surround Chen Can's soldiers and continued to attack them.
Chen Can was in imminent danger.
