Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight!
In Zhao Ming's army, 1,000 black-armored cavalrymen, 2,000 light-armored cavalrymen, 2,000 heavy-armored sword-shield soldiers, 2,000 light-armored archers, 3,000 light-armored spearmen, and 3,000 light-armored sword-shield soldiers were lined up neatly outside the camp!
At this moment, Zhao Ming, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Hu were all wearing battle armor. Only Chen Qingzhi was still wearing a plain robe!
"My lord, it's already midnight and all the troops are ready. Should we start?”Chen Qingzhi said to Zhao Ming!
"This time, you're the overall commander. You can make the arrangements!”Zhao Ming said with a smile.
"Yes!" Chen Qingzhi's expression turned serious. Then, he gave the first order to Li Cunxiao, who had long been unable to hold it in.”
"I'm here!" Li Cunxiao immediately replied solemnly!
He knew very well the importance of this mission. Once they failed to launch a fire attack on the Yellow Turban Army, there would be no next chance. What awaited them was a head-on clash with the Yellow Turban Army!
"I order you to lead 1,000 black-armored cavalry and 18 cavalry of Yanyun to sneak into the Yellow Turban camp with a fire break and secretly set fire to it. Remember not to leak the news before the fire starts!”Chen Qingzhi said with a serious expression!
"General Chen, you should hand over the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun to my lord and ensure his safety!”
"Even without the help of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, I can still complete the task!”Li Cunxiao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still said to Chen Qingzhi!
Chen Qingzhi frowned slightly upon hearing this. Then, he pondered for a moment and said," Since General Li is so confident, then let's leave the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun to the lord!"”
"I promise to complete this mission!”Li Cunxiao answered without hesitation!
"The time has come. General Li, quickly send out your troops!”Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly when he heard that. Then, he looked at the sky and said!
"My Lord, General Chen, I will go first!”Li Cunxiao cupped his fists and said to the three of them. Then, he led all the black-armored cavalry who had dismounted and rushed toward the Yellow Turban camp!
As Li Cunxiao and the black-armored cavalry left, Chen Qingzhi's gaze fell on Zhao Ming. He said with a serious expression," My lord, the task of guarding the camp should have been given to you. However, the most suitable person in the army for this task is you!"”
"That's why I have to make things difficult for my lord!”
"No worries!" Zhao Ming laughed when he heard that!
"My lord, you will lead Yanyun's eighteen cavalrymen, two thousand light cavalry, and two thousand heavy-armored sword-shield soldiers. Once the Yellow Turban army is on fire, you will immediately lead your troops into the camp!”Chen Qingzhi took a deep breath when he heard this, and then said with a serious expression!
"Understood!" Zhao Ming nodded slightly. Then, he gathered 2,000 heavy-armored sword-shield soldiers, 2,000 light-armored cavalry archers, and the 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun and headed toward the Yellow Turban camp!
"My lord, remember to protect yourself!”
His mission was to take advantage of the chaos in the Yellow Turban army to kill his way in after the Yellow Turban army was set ablaze!
Now, with the 18 riders of Yanyun, there was basically no danger!
The most dangerous part of this was the mission that Li Cunxiao had completed. He had led the black-armored cavalry to infiltrate the Yellow Turban army alone. Even if he had led all the black-armored cavalry of the third-level army, it was still dangerous!
This was also the reason why Chen Qingzhi had given the command of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun to Li Cunxiao in the beginning!
However, Li Cunxiao's words were not without reason. Therefore, Chen Qingzhi still sent out the 18 riders of Yanyun to protect Zhao Ming!
Chen Qingzhi shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhao Hu and the remaining soldiers in the camp!
"General Zhao, I order you to lead two thousand light armored spearmen, two thousand light armored archers, and two thousand light armored sword-shield soldiers to ambush Lord Chu's position. Focus on preventing that Yellow Turban commander Bo Cai from escaping in the chaos!”Chen Qingzhi instructed Zhao Hu with a serious expression!
"I accept your orders!" Zhao Hu agreed solemnly.
After Zhao Hu left behind a thousand light armored spearmen and a thousand light armored sword-shield soldiers for Chen Qingzhi, he took the rest of the troops and headed toward the Yellow Turban camp!
Although he was a scholar, Zhao Ming did not have enough generals under him, so he could only temporarily transfer Zhao Hu, the military advisor!
Although Zhao Hu's task was the easiest, it was also the most troublesome. He had to lock onto the Yellow Turban Canal Commander Bo Cai, who might have slipped into the chaotic army. Once Bo Cai escaped, this plan would not be perfect!
Although they had temporarily dealt with the Changshe Yellow Turban Army, with their influence, they could pull out another Yellow Turban army of tens of thousands of people if they were given some time!
Unlike the Han army, they did not need to train every time they expanded their army. They only needed to casually break through a few county cities to obtain a large number of soldiers!
