That night!
The city gate of Mushui Pass was brightly lit. Lu Bu led 10,000 Western Liang cavalry and was ready to set off. The black armor shone under the light of the fire, and a murderous aura brewed in the entire Mushui Pass.
"Lord Li, do you think Wen Hou is planning a night raid?”Xu Rong asked softly.
Li Su shook his head." I don't know either. He didn't want us to know about his conversation with Shen Pei last night. He also didn't listen to our advice. Let him be!" Who knew what he was up to! However, in my opinion, he's probably in trouble! Whether he succeeded or failed, it all depended on him! We should still do our part and guard our pass. As long as we don't lose Mushui Pass, you and I will be meritorious!”
Xu Rong sighed to himself as he and Li Su quietly watched Lu Bu lead his troops out of seclusion. However, they didn't head towards the camp of the 18th Vassal. The two of them were even more confused.
"Report, Huaxiong from Tiger Cage Pass has sent a letter.”
Suddenly, a messenger came to report.
When Li Su heard that it was a letter from Hwa Xiong, he immediately took it. He and Hua Xiong had a friendship back at Mushui Pass. In his heart, although Hua Xiong's wisdom was not good, he was more willing to listen to others 'advice. Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but glance in the direction where Lu Bu's cavalry had left.
"I saw the dukedom's camp on fire and came out of seclusion to kill the enemy.”
Majestic Hero's letter had only a few simple words. Li Su frowned deeply after reading it. He could not understand what the letter meant. Looking at the direction of the dukedom's camp in the darkness, it was filled with specks of light. Everything was calm.
Unable to understand, Li Su could only show the letter to Xu Rong and said,""General Xu, what do you think this means?”
After Xu Rong took a look, he also looked in the direction of the dukedom's camp and muttered,""This letter couldn't have been sent wrongly, right? How could the dukes 'camp be on fire for no reason? Could it be the situation at the dukes' camp at Tiger Cage Pass?”
Li Su shook his head and said," General Xu, don't joke around. Hua Xiong wouldn't send the wrong letter. However, I also feel that this matter is strange. Hua Xiong is far away in Tiger Cage Pass, and he sent us this letter! What did he mean? Could it be…"
A thought suddenly flashed across Li Su's mind. He hurriedly shouted,""Men, bring the messenger here.”
This letter was strange, making Li Su suspect that it was the enemy's trick.
"After the messenger handed the letter to the city guard, he said that he had something to report back to the city guard!”
Li Su, who received this information, immediately shouted angrily,""How do you do things? Why didn't you leave that person behind? Who told you to do this?”
"What's wrong?" Xu Rong asked curiously. What do you think, Lord Li?"
"This letter is strange. I'm afraid it's the enemy's plan. Wen Hou's actions today were too abnormal. It seemed that something strange would happen today. We can only do our best to guard the pass and prevent any changes. If the fire really does get big, we can lead the troops to charge in.”
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was time to kill and set fire!
The atmosphere at the moment could be described by this sentence.
In the darkness, Majestic Hero led the Breaking Formation Cavalry along the mountain path to the back of the dukes 'camp. All the hooves were wrapped in coarse cloth as they silently approached the dukes' camp.
"Commander, the heavens are really helping me! He didn't expect the vassal army to leave the camp in such a large scale, the camp was empty, and the weather was so bad. It was the best opportunity for a sneak attack!”Gao Shun said with some excitement. After being a soldier for so long, this was the first time Gao Shun was acting as a commander. Moreover, it happened to be such a good opportunity. When he thought of this scene, his blood boiled.
However, Majestic Hero was not as optimistic as he was. Although he had decided to burn the grain, the eighteen vassals still had no idea how to deal with Lu Bu. If the grain was burned and the Lishui Pass was lost, then there would be no point in ambushing. But after weighing the pros and cons, Majestic Hero still decided to burn it. This was already the greatest result that his team could achieve!
From afar, he could see the 18th dukedom camp. A row of fences blocked the front of the camp, and behind them were two sentry posts made of thick wood. Under the burning light of the fire, one could clearly see that there were two soldiers guarding each post.
"Hey, warm yourself up by the fire! The weather was still very cold at night.”A soldier sat on the watchtower and warmed his hand with a torch at the side. He took out an oil bag from his pocket and took out a few pieces of chicken. He handed a piece to his companion and said,"Come, eat some! It wasn't easy for me to get this from the boss!”
Another soldier saw that there was chicken to eat and swallowed his saliva. He took the chicken and said while eating,"Kid, you really have a way. The things that the lord can't finish eating have always been the treasures of the gang leader army. You can get them out every three to five days. By the way, I heard that the lords are going to take down Mushui Pass today. Have you heard?”
"Who knows? I've heard this many times. Anyway, it's none of our business. We've been guarding the camp for half our lives, so it's not our turn to charge.”
"That's true. Compared to killing in front, I'd rather squat here. At least the chances of survival are higher.”
Unfortunately, the God of Fate didn't seem to care about them. Staying here to defend meant that they were destined to die.
In the darkness, a tiny iron arrow pierced through the night sky and silently drilled into the chest of a soldier. The iron arrow sank into the ground, and a stream of blood slowly flowed out.
The other soldier was chewing on the dried chicken in his mouth, unaware of the death of his companion. However, in the next second, he stopped chewing. His gaze was blank, and his eyes began to lose focus. Then, his head drooped, and the unchewed chicken fell out of his mouth.
A stream of blood also flowed out from his side, and an iron arrow pierced into his body.
"Commander-in-chief! What was this? It can actually shoot several arrows in a row, and the arrow body is so small that it's silent in the night sky. This..."
Not far away, Majestic Hero was putting away his secret weapon, Godly Zhuge Crossbow. He had used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to shoot those tiny iron arrows. It was his first time using it, and the effect was much better than when he had tried it out.
Majestic Hero ignored Gao Shun's surprise and said coldly,""Light the torches and attack! Go straight for the rations."
Hundreds of torches suddenly appeared in the originally dark space outside the rear camp of the eighteen feudal vassals. Soon after, the light and tight sound of horse hooves could be heard.
A few soldiers had already moved away the fence outside the camp, and the Breaking Formation Cavalry charged into the barracks of the 18th feudal vassal like a ferocious tiger that had just been released from the gate.
As soon as the cavalry entered the camp, they quickly set fire to the nearby tents.
The eighteen vassal armies immediately fell into chaos. Cries rose and fell, and the flames burned brighter and brighter. However, there were hundreds of soldiers who were trampled down or killed by the cavalry.
In an instant, the alliance army soldiers all fled towards the front camp in panic, but how could they run faster than the cavalry under Gao Shun's command?
The most terrifying thing was that the five hundred cavalry did not simply charge forward, but under Gao Shun's command, they moved back and forth. Everywhere they passed, there would be a huge fire. Along with the fire, hundreds of people would die under the fierce collision or the long spears of the cavalry.
Occasionally, there would be those who were lucky enough to survive, but they would also have to face the next wave of attacks with broken arms and legs. It would be better to die directly.
The main force of the alliance army had left, and they were caught off guard. Their equipment was unparalleled, and they had no ability to resist at all. Even if someone occasionally slashed at the cavalry with a weapon, they were completely unable to break through the thick black armor.
Under the circumstances, the Breaking Ranks Cavalry could be said to be killing and setting fires one-sidedly, and the fire spread out in a few rounds. At this moment, some of the generals who had stayed behind began to take control of the situation in the front camp, wanting to organize an effective attack to meet the enemy.
However, under the illumination of the flames, the already chaotic allied soldiers did not listen to the orders of their generals at all. They only ran away, and a loud shout made everyone's hearts collapse.
"The granary is on fire! The granary is on fire!"
When they heard this voice, none of the soldiers could control their emotions. None of them even had the courage to turn around and look at the flames.
At the same time as the cavalry charged forward, something happened at Lishui Pass that could affect the outcome of the battle.
