After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.
Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong's hearts trembled, sneak attacking the Savage Army camp was easier said than done, they might not even be able to return.
Qiu Zhen also felt that it was not right to send two Company Leaders over so he said: "General Xiao, should we reconsider?"
Xiao Muqing shook his head, and said seriously: "We are unable to find out about Master's situation, so we can only rely on our own strength to retreat, the enemy is many, and if we continue to fight, it will consume a lot of energy, it is hard to protect our Heng City from any loss, so we have to quickly finish this battle, if we want to quickly retreat, we can only go down the road of cutting off their rations. Amongst the three Regiments, the first, second and third are the strongest. Amongst the three Regiments, the General Zhang and the General Bai are the calmest, and are the calmest when it comes to situations, so I can only entrust this matter to the two generals. I hope the two generals can disregard personal gains and losses during this crisis and break free from my Heng City! "
While speaking, Xiao Muqing cupped his hands together and bowed to Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.
Seeing that, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong stepped forward, and supported Xiao Muqing, and said: "General is too serious, this subordinate does not dare!"
With how Xiao Muqing said it, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong did not have any room to refuse it. They could only accept the order.
That night, the Heng City Army did not make any movements. When it was five in the morning the next day, the South City gate was quietly opened. A dozen or so vigorous black figures jumped out through the gap of the city gate.
It was close to dawn, and the sky was the darkest. Moreover, this was the time when people were the most tired and their defenses the most relaxed. The timing of the ambush could be said to be perfect.
Before the large group of people from Feng Army left the city, Cheng Jin led the way and went ahead to settle the guards from Enemy's Camp.
The Spirit Cultivator of Dark did not have any large area of damage skills, so they were not suited for chaotic battles. However, they were born hunters, who were good at stealth and surprise attacks.
Using the cover of the night, Cheng Jin and the rest quietly hid themselves outside the Camp Gate.
The southern gate of the Heng City was not the main direction of attack, and its main force was not South Camp either. There were not many guards outside the camp, so Cheng Jin and the rest of the people did not need to spend too much effort to finish off the Savage Army sentries one by one, even the Savage Soldier on the observation platforms on the sides of the Camp Gate were not immune to it. The members of the hidden arrows used the Shadow Shift to flash onto the observation platforms and quickly stab the sentries to death, and then tied their corpses to the pillars.
When everything was settled, the Dark Arrow's members quickly withdrew and sent the message to the inside of the city.
When the Dark Arrow members returned, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong immediately led ten thousand Pingyuan Army s out of the city gate. They were all dressed in black, covered in black armor, afraid of making any noise, their mouths were all tied with black cloth, and the ten thousand soldiers did not bring any extra parts, just the Pyretic Oil s. After leaving the city, they flung off their legs, and rushed straight towards Savage Army.
No one spoke, and no one shouted for them to kill. The only sounds that could be heard were the clattering of armor against each other and the gasps of people.
Since the hidden arrows had already taken care of the sentries outside the South Camp, Zhang and Bai proceeded smoothly, and quickly rushed to the front of the Barracks Gate in the camp.
The vigorous Feng Army climbed over the fence of the camp and opened up the Camp Gate from inside. Then, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong waved their spears and ordered their soldiers to rush in.
These ten thousand Pingyuan Army s, were simply as if they had fallen from the sky. The Savage Army s were completely unaware, they did not have any form of defense, and were beaten unprepared. Many soldiers who were still sleeping in the living quarters were chopped to death by the Pingyuan Army blades, and died muddleheadedly in their dreams.
Xiao Muqing and Ai Jia's observation was not wrong, Bessa Army was indeed a place where they kept their food, they rushed towards the heart of South Camp, and very quickly, they saw a row of storage rooms, with the tents opened, they looked inside, and all of them were neatly piled with food. Seeing this, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were overjoyed, and both of them shouted out their orders, pouring the Pyretic Oil s and burning the food.
Furthermore, with the Pyretic Oil s included, even if they wanted to control the fire, they wouldn't be able to. The wind helped the fire, the fire borrowed the wind's might, the flames scurried about, spreading with the wind, causing the rows of warehouses to immediately sink into the sea of fire. When one looked, the fire was so fierce that it seemed as if half of the sky had been set ablaze.
The entire Savage Army Camp had also been thrown into chaos as everyone was shouting and cheering non-stop.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and even the Pingyuan Army who had set the fire was forced to retreat continuously.
Looking at the raging fire, and Bai Yong who had ran out of the living quarters started crying. They looked at each other, and laughed out loud, but did not expect that things would go so smoothly for them. It seemed that Xiao Muqing was truly extraordinary, and had made the right arrangements to be the general of the Heng City.
Zhang Zhou laughed: "The Savage Army is only an ear, it's so weak that it can't even withstand a single blow. I really want to charge into their stomachs again!"
Bai Yong quickly stopped them, and said: "We have completed our mission, we need to return immediately and hand in our order, let's leave now!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhou nodded. They only brought ten thousand people with them, it would be fine to just ambush them with Savage Army. If the other party truly gathered all of their troops, they would not be able to gain anything from it.
Just as Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were about to lead the troops and retreat complacently, they suddenly realised that they could no longer leave.
He did not know where countless Savage Army had come out from, but what was even more terrifying was that the rumbling sounds of hooves came from behind the crowd. Turning his head to look, Zhang and Bai's expressions changed as they saw a large group of cavalrymen charging towards him from behind, which was so large that it was hard to tell how many of them were present.
"Crap!" We've fallen into the same trap! " Zhang Zhou subconsciously exclaimed.
No matter how fast their Savage Army's reaction was, it was impossible for them to gather so many infantry and cavalry, and even block the Barracks Gate in the camp, and attack from the front and back. It was clear that the other side had already planned this beforehand, as if they had already predicted that the Feng Army would come tonight to launch a sneak attack.
was wrong about this point. The general of Bessa Army wasn't a god, how would he know where the hoard of food was observed at the Heng City realm, and when did he send his troops to ambush them. And if he had really calculated it, how could the food be so easily burnt by the Feng Army?
He was well aware of the importance of food, so he had arranged for heavy soldiers to be on guard, not just tonight, but the heavy soldiers were always there. It was just that he caught them off guard when the Pingyuan Army came, and was caught off guard when it happened that Savage Army was too fatigued to guard, so after the Savage Soldier had finished assembling, Pingyuan Army had already started setting fire to food, and there was no time to stop them even if he wanted to.
Currently, there was Savage Soldier blocking the way ahead, and then there was Heavy Armored Cavalry chasing after them. Over ten thousand Pingyuan Army s was equivalent to being trapped in the Barbarian Camp, and the other party's forces were still increasing. Seeing this scene, the joy in his Pingyuan Army was swept away, and what replaced it was thick fear and despair.
Bai Yong was a calm and collected person, he was just a little stunned, and then shouted at the people on his left and right: "Charge! All brothers rush towards the Barracks Gate together! "
Whoosh — — Following his command, Pingyuan Army surged towards the Barracks Gate like a tide.
Right now, the Barracks Gate had gathered around three thousand plus people, and there were indeed not many soldiers, but the battle strength of the Savage Soldier was too strong, facing the enemy head on, Pingyuan Army did not hold any advantage.
Very quickly, the two sides came into contact with each other. The two sides faced off against each other, and a chaotic battle broke out.
They were exchanging moves, and the Heavy Armored Cavalry behind them did not slow down at all, they were getting closer and closer to the Pingyuan Army. If this group of Heavy Armored Cavalry were to once again rush forward, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong's ten thousand people would all be accounted for in the Savage Army Camp.
At this time, Zhang Zhou shot out a few times, piercing through the surrounding Savage Soldier s. After that, he quickly ran to Bai Yong's side, panting as he said, "There are more and more enemies, and the cavalry behind us is about to arrive. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape! You lead your men to kill Barracks Gate, I will go back to block Savage Army's cavalry, to cover your retreat! "
"What about you?" Bai Yong's heart trembled, his brows knitted tightly. Right now, if Zhang Zhou were to turn around and block the Heavy Armored Cavalry, it would be equivalent to courting death.
Zhang Zhou was startled, then shouted out: "You don't have to worry about me, we'll talk after we leave!"
"No way!" Bai Yong and Zhang Zhou were both elderly people with Pingyuan Army, and had worked together for many years. Their relationship was also very deep, and at this moment of life and death, how could he abandon Zhang Zhou and escape by himself? He said, "You retreat first, I'll go stop the cavalry!"
"Cut the crap!" Zhang Zhou became anxious and grabbed Bai Yong's shoulder, bringing him closer, and said anxiously: "Now is not the time to argue! If you are able to see Master, then tell Master that I, Zhang Zhou, have not humiliated the reputation of our Feng Army! " After he finished speaking, he used all his strength to push Bai Yong away. Then, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, listen up.
No longer paying attention to Bai Yong, Zhang Zhou ordered his subordinates to retreat backwards.
Normally, during business situations, Zhang Zhou would be the most cautious and most cowardly of them all, but at this critical juncture, when life and death were at stake, he chose the latter, and chose to leave cover for himself while the two of them retreated.
Looking at the back of Zhang Zhou charging back at them, Bai Yong bit his lips until blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
He fiercely stomped his feet, roared, and charged towards the Savage Soldier with his spear.
It was not because he was afraid of death, but because he could no longer fight over it. Zhang Zhou risked his life to create a chance for him and his subordinates to escape, but if he did not fight for it, not only would it be a waste of Zhang Zhou's painstaking efforts, he would also lose his and his subordinates' lives for nothing.
Even if he could not bear it, even if his heart felt like it was being pierced by knives, he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
Bai Yong led the group of people to break through the encirclement, while Zhang Zhou led the five thousand soldiers of First Regiment to welcome Bessa's Heavy Armored Cavalry.
When Heavy Armored Cavalry was sprinting towards them, it did not matter what tactics he used. Although the soldiers knew how to roll their blades, they would be knocked down and killed before they could even use it.
When the distance between them was close enough, Zhang Zhou immediately gave the order to block.
Dozens of Feng Army s stood at the front of the line with their shields, while the rest of the Feng Army s held their shields together, ready to receive the impact of the Heavy Armored Cavalry.
