At the same time, the night was getting darker, and a thin mist was filling his vision.
The bonfire in the camp of the exhausted Great Shun Army gradually died down. Other than the soldiers on night duty, most of the people had already gone into the tents to rest. A large number of sentries outside the camp had increased their manpower. Under the light of the torches, the horses galloped over, passing through the checkpoints and entering the camp.
In the central army camp, Li Zicheng drank the fine wine in his cup and looked at the scene of singing and dancing in front of him in boredom. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He was already tired of watching such singing and dancing.
Liu Zongmin, who was sitting next to him, keenly sensed the dissatisfaction in Li Zicheng's eyes. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and wiped his mouth.
"Your Majesty, are you tired of these mediocre women?”
As he spoke, Liu Zongmin wiped his hands on his clothes and picked up another glass of wine. He said with a hint of drunkenness,"Your Majesty, please do not disturb me. Tomorrow, when I break through the capital and invade the Imperial Palace, I will definitely capture the beauties of the Imperial Palace for Your Majesty.”
"When the time comes, Chongzhen's empress will pour wine for His Majesty, his concubines will dance for His Majesty, and his children will be picky with His Majesty's food.”
When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately clapped and cheered. One by one, they slammed the table and shouted,
"Hahaha, General Liu is right.”
"That's right. Your Majesty will do this after we attack the Palace of Heavenly Purity tomorrow.”
"Tomorrow, we'll each choose a noble family and have a taste of their women.”
"Hahaha."
“……”
Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his heart was filled with passion. He could not help but smile. Under the candlelight, his originally dark face glowed red, and he even began to imagine tomorrow's scene in his mind.
Suddenly, everyone felt an obvious vibration coming from under their feet, and the wine in their cups rippled.
"Rumble!"
The thundering sound of horse hooves rang out, causing everyone's expression to instantly change. Someone was riding a horse at night?
Right at this moment, the sound of a horse neighing could be heard. A Da Shun Army scout galloped over and scrambled off his horse.
"Report-"
"There's a commotion coming from the camp of the vanguard army. The sound of galloping horses is coming from there.”
"What?"
As soon as he said that, everyone frowned and looked anxiously at the vanguard camp five miles away. However, they could not see anything under the dark night, so they did not know that the killing intent had arrived...
……
At the same time, Wang Cheng had already led his army through the middle of the camp of the Great Shun Army. The cavalry that spread out in a mighty manner tore through the night. They did not care if there were enemies in front of them, as they pushed forward at high speed and in a fierce manner.
"Bang!" The barricade in front of the gate was smashed into pieces by the galloping horses like paper. In the splashing flames, countless silent cavalrymen of the capital camp rushed in.
Around the former general Gao Yigong's tent, the soldiers who were on night duty with torches heard the commotion. Thousands of soldiers rushed forward to get into formation. Gao Yigong let out a breath, pulled out his sword, and shouted,"Defend the enemy-"
However, in the next second, his pupils constricted, and the ground trembled.
"Rumble!"
The world was spinning, and the mist in his field of vision was rolling and twisting. Then…the darkness of the night was scattered!
One horse…ten horses…a hundred horses…a thousand horses rushed out of the night. The leaves on their black armor rustled, and the red tassels on their iron helmets were as bright as blood.
The snow-white blade light emitted an endless cold light. The cold and ruthless eyes of the knights, who seemed to be born from the darkness, made everyone tremble in fear.
Wang Cheng brandished the double maces in his hands, and like a demon god, he roared like thunder,"
"Kill-"
Countless cavalrymen rushed over in a frenzy, and the thin defense line was easily broken through. Their spears fell down, and amidst a series of puchi puchi sounds, they forcefully sent shieldmen flying with their shields.
Gao Yigong's pupils suddenly constricted, and he opened his mouth silently. He subconsciously took a step back."The Ming army…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he threw away the sword in his hand and screamed,"Run!"
After saying that, Gao Yigong turned around and ran with the dozens of people around him. He hated his parents for not having two legs. His face was twisted in fear.
Being able to become the former commander proved that he wasn't a good-for-nothing. However, the silent figures that seemed to come out of the darkness made his entire body tremble. His scalp went numb, and his blood seemed to be about to coagulate. If he didn't run, he would die...
Even if he were to risk his life here, it would be useless.
Wang Cheng led his subordinates and pushed them over like waves crashing against the shore. It was impossible to block them. Those who blocked them were swept away, and blood mist filled the air.
"Ah…"
Along with countless screams, the ground was littered with corpses, and the thick smell of blood began to spread.
After Gao Yigong took a few steps forward, the entire formation behind him was engulfed by the black waves. Not even a single ripple was created. Gao Yigong's face twisted as he watched the approaching Xiang Dragon.
"No…Ah!"
"Pfft." The former general Gao Yigong's head was blown off by Wang Cheng.
After Wang Cheng killed dozens of people, he remembered that the person just now seemed to be the general of the front army. The other party and dozens of personal guards were swallowed by the waves, leaving no bones behind.
Wang Cheng looked at the shadows around him and could not help but shout,"Burn the camp!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thousands upon thousands of arrows shot towards the tents on both sides like a meteor shower, instantly setting countless tents on fire.
Hundreds and thousands of Great Shun Army soldiers with disheveled hair crawled out of the burning tents in panic, like ants coming out of their holes.
However, before they could figure out the situation, they were smashed into pieces by the cavalry of the capital camp.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Spare me!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Under the illumination of the flames, the entire camp looked like hell on earth. As the figures flickered, the countless cavalrymen of the capital camp looked like demons reaping human lives.
The other outposts stationed in the distance noticed the killing and quickly gathered over.
However, before they could arrive, the rolling cavalry formation had already swept towards them like a tidal wave. With astonishing speed, they broke through the reinforcements one by one and ran over their bodies, leaving large amounts of corpses on the yellow ground.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Sounding arrows continuously rose into the night sky, sending the warning to the rear. It was already a little late for Kaguan to receive the warning, but there were still some escaping horses that quickly returned to send the message. Gradually, the entire Great Shun Army camp began to fall into chaos…
