At the same time.
On a peak of the entire Ox Mountain.
There was a figure looking at the sparks in the distance.
"My Lord, all the troops have been arranged and the traps have been dug. Now, all we need to do is wait for the Imperial Court's army to enter the trap.”
Zhuge Liang panted as he walked to Zhu Xianfeng and reported.
"Very good!" Zhu Xianfeng nodded and said,"I can already smell a vigorous killing intent in the night wind!"”
In the evening.
He received a secret report from Zhang Ran that Xu Zuhui would launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Peace Valley tonight.
Thus, he immediately began to dispatch troops to the Heavenly Peace Valley.
He also ordered Zhuge Liang to set up an ambush and a trap made of earthen jars of explosives.
He was convinced.
Tonight, no matter how many soldiers Xu Zuhui sent, they would all be buried in Tianping Valley.
"That's right. Who knows how many lives will be devoured by this Heavenly Plain Valley tonight.”
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel sorry for them when he thought of the explosives in the valley.
Zhu Xianfeng's expression was cold as he said," General, you died a hundred times in battle, but your corpse is still wrapped in a horse's leather. As a soldier, dying on the battlefield can be said to be a worthy death."”
To Zhu Xianfeng, being kind to the enemy on the battlefield was being cruel to himself.
Therefore, even if the imperial court's 200,000-strong army was wiped out tonight, he would not cause any trouble.
"Master, look. The vanguard army of the imperial court has already ascended the mountain!”
Zhuge Liang pointed at the fire at the foot of the mountain.
"Hehe, it seems that the Imperial Court's army is indeed punctual.”
Zhu Xianfeng looked in the direction of the light and saw a spot on the mountainside of the whole cow mountain.
At this moment.
Sheng Yong's 20,000 vanguard troops were advancing on the winding and bumpy mountain road.
In order to avoid being exposed, he did not light all the torches.
Only the dozen or so leading soldiers held torches.
"General, the Heavenly Peace Valley is less than three li away from our army. Should we continue to advance?”
"Let the scouts continue scouting!"
"Yes, sir!"
The pathfinder accepted the order and left.
"The army continues to advance!"
Sheng Yong called out softly, and the twenty thousand vanguard troops moved forward again.
A moment later, they arrived at a valley, and the scene in the Balance Valley not far away could already be seen with the naked eye.
Lights flickered in Balance Valley, and one could vaguely see patrolling teams shuttling through it.
Even so.
Sheng Yong didn't dare to rush in rashly. He ordered the vanguard army to lay low.
"Where is Old Marshal Geng's main force?”
"General, they are about ten miles away from our army.”
"Ten miles? Why is Old General Geng marching so slowly?”
"I heard from the main force that Old Marshal Geng slowed down his advance to prevent alerting the enemy.”
"Quickly go and ask Old Marshal Geng if he wants the vanguard army to immediately launch a night attack?”
"This subordinate accepts the order!"
A thousand-man immediately turned around and left.
The night wind whistled, and the mountain forest rustled.
Waiting in the dark was the most torturous thing.
At this moment, apart from the deep breathing of the twenty thousand vanguard soldiers, one could also hear their powerful heartbeats.
After an unknown period of time, there was finally movement behind him.
"General, Old Marshal Geng is still three li away from our army, and he said that we can launch a sneak attack.”
The thousand-man ran to Sheng Yong and reported.
"That's good!"
Sheng Yong was excited and shouted,""Light the torch and release the fire arrows into Balance Valley!”
Under this shout.
The vanguard soldiers, who had been suppressed to the point of suffocation, suddenly stood up and lit the torches in their hands.
Then, he ignited the crossbow and shot it into the valley.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant.
A dense mass of Firebolt bolts flew towards the patrolling soldiers of the Qingzhou Army like a meteor shower.
In an instant, dozens of soldiers at the outermost perimeter let out a miserable cry at the same time and were shot to the ground.
"Not good…there's an enemy attack!"
"Quick…retreat deeper into the valley!"
" Damn the imperial court…They actually attacked the Heavenly Peace Valley at night…"
"Retreat…"
The patrolling soldiers immediately reacted and retreated into the depths of the stronghold.
Seeing this, Sheng Yong immediately shouted,""In one go, flatten the bandit camp!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He pulled out his saber and charged into the valley.
The general is so fierce.
As soldiers, they naturally wouldn't cower much.
Almost at the same time.
The 20,000 vanguard soldiers suddenly surged forward.
Like rolling waves, they rushed into the valley.
At this moment.
The soldiers of Qingzhou, who heard the thunderous sounds of killing, woke up from their dreams and ran out of the stronghold without even putting on their armor.
"Soldiers, don't panic. Form a formation to resist the enemy's sneak attack.”
A general saw the chaotic scene and ordered.
Although the soldiers were in formation, the enemy would not give them any time.
A moment later.
Sheng Yong led the vanguard and charged forward.
"Exterminate the bandits, kill!"
With a stern shout, Sheng Yong and the vanguard charged into the Qingzhou army that had yet to take shape.
Blood was flowing with the wind, and killing intent was burning.
In just the first wave of attacks, hundreds of soldiers were cut down.
When all 20,000 vanguard soldiers entered the battlefield.
The Qingzhou Army was completely defeated.
