On the other side.
Huangfu Camp.
The commander gave the order to stop marching and set up camp.
The gang leader buried his head in the pot to cook, and the rich fragrance of meat drifted out dozens of miles.
The three armies sniffed the scent, and malice and tiredness gradually surged in their hearts, their vigilance dropping.
Outside the camp.
In the small forest at night.
It was surprisingly quiet.
Pairs of green eyes appeared.
Looking over, they looked like wild wolves drooling as they stared at the army camp.
However, no matter how hungry the grassland wolves were, they would not seek death by attacking the human army.
Even wolves didn't dare to do it, but humans did.
Under the hazy moonlight, one could vaguely make out the shadow of a person.
There were so many figures that it was impossible to count how many people there were.
"Three li from the target. Wait for another hour. When the Huangfu army's vigilance is at its lowest, immediately launch an attack!”
"In this battle, advance without retreat to test the power of the military's new weapons!”
"Burn the incense!"
The leader gave the final order.
He lit an incense stick and entered the countdown stage.
The green light of the people hiding in the dark dimmed a little, and then they burst out with endless fighting spirit.
He calmly faced the end of his life.
The incense turned to ashes.
Extinguished.
Without any orders, the people in the dark all stood up slightly and quickly moved toward the camp with their bodies bowed.
There was no sound during the process. Even the sound of footsteps was covered by the wet ground.
Countless people looked like ants moving from the sky.
Three hundred meters!
There were no more obstructions around the camp.
With the help of the moonlight, the night guard noticed the approaching people and immediately sounded the drum.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The front camp was the first to gather.
The soldiers all had bulging stomachs.
This was the first night they had stepped into the country. They had been marching until very late, and they were tired, cold, and hungry. The soldiers could not help but feel stuffed.
"Damn it, which barbarian is so wicked?”
"Don't care about which one, let's kill them first. Damn it, I was just about to take a dump when I gathered and directly pooped my pants!”
"Eh, no wonder you smell so strong. Stay away from me!”
"I just finished eating and it's already very uncomfortable when I run. If I say this again, I'll vomit!”
……
A sudden enemy attack.
It had achieved the desired effect, but it had also angered the entire army. They wanted to see which grassland tribe was so reckless.
However, after half a year of training, the 10,000 soldiers of the Three Rivers Five Schools, who were the first line of defense of the camp, still picked up their weapons and gathered before the enemy bypassed the barricade and attacked the camp.
"Get ready!"
The general gave the order, and the soldiers in the front camp quickly raised their crossbows according to their training.
"Shoot!"
The crossbow was pulled continuously until all the arrows were shot out. He picked up his Mo saber again and rushed forward with the rain of arrows.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"You're courting death!"
The crowd was furious.
However, there were only a few who were actually killed.
Fifty thousand ballista bolts washed the ground, and the enemy immediately suffered a devastating blow. There were not many who could survive, and there were even fewer who could not be injured.
"F * ck, if it wasn't for the sturdy armor, I would have been killed by this thing lying on the ground pretending to be dead!”
"Brothers, be careful. This is very tricky. Look at these living ones. Their eyes are like wolves.”
"Which son of a b * tch's barbarian tribe is this? He's too ruthless. My second brother was almost bitten off!”
"When we find out the tribe of these barbarians, we must kill them before the war. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I'll be slashed at any time!”
It was a normal last hit segment.
The front camp was filled with curses. These people who ambushed the camp really didn't care about martial ethics.
Pretending to be dead, ambushing, biting their ears, biting their noses, many soldiers were hit.
"Something's wrong!"
The general of the front camp frowned. He felt that something was wrong when he saw the enemy's reaction.
It was too quiet.
Enemies who were shot or injured didn't even cry out in pain, which was very abnormal for humans.
Moreover, these methods of ambushing without restraint didn't seem like they were trained by a regular army.
"Hmm?"
"Han?"
The general of the front camp walked forward and removed the mask of a dead enemy. He was instantly stunned on the spot.
What was going on?
"Don't look, they're men of sacrifice."
Marshal Huangfu walked out from the middle army. He glanced at the battlefield and came to a conclusion. His entire body was emitting a chilling aura.
"Commander-in-chief!"
"These death warriors are estimated to be over ten thousand. Who raised them?”
"It's not easy to raise such a large scale pet. The amount of gold and silver consumed is simply astronomical. If they die so easily, what is the person behind the scenes planning?”
"The probing of the aristocratic families has begun!"
Marshal Huangfu's teeth turned cold. Over ten thousand lives were sacrificed just to verify a conjecture. The aristocratic families deserved to die.
"Bang!"
Above the small forest, a loud firecracker sound rang out. The light and sound could be seen and heard by half of the grassland.
"Men, go to the small forest!"
"General, the commander-in-chief is dead!"
The body of the last death warrior was brought out of the forest. His body temperature had dropped drastically. It was obvious that he had committed suicide immediately after the signal firecrackers were released.
Hearing this.
The generals present couldn't help but clench their Mo Sabers, sweat appearing between their fingers.
Such death warriors were terrifying.
"Marshal, the enemy has more than 12,000 people, and all of them died in battle!”
"Our army has zero casualties and 321 casualties!”
"Inform the Embroidered Uniform Guards to strictly investigate the people entering and leaving the gates of Liang, You, and Bing. Find the aristocratic families that raise death warriors and leave no one alive.”
Marshal Huangfu ordered.
However, he did not have any expectations. If the aristocratic families dared to do it, they would definitely think of a way to eliminate the traces. He could not find anything.
……
Several days later.
Weiyang Palace.
The commander of the Royal Guards, Jia Xu, has come to see you.
"Your Majesty, urgent military report!"
"Marshal Huangfu has encountered a large-scale suicide attack!”
"Marshal Huangfu requests a thorough investigation of the people entering and leaving the city gates of the three border provinces!”
The commander presented the military report and gritted his teeth.""This subject's suggestion is that there is no need to investigate. Only the top aristocratic families of the dynasty can raise so many death warriors. Investigate the Chen, Xun, Yuan, and Sima families, and I believe we will be able to reach a conclusion!”
"We still have to investigate. For so many men of sacrifice to be able to leave in such a short period of time, there must be a general guarding the city who secretly helped us find them, confiscate their houses, and wipe out the three clans.”
" It seems like the aristocratic families 'intelligence organization has managed to get a rough idea of the military's new weapons through the Black Mountain Army." Liu Hong chuckled after reading the military report.
After paying such a huge price, it was impossible for the aristocratic families to remain indifferent. All the elites of the country were transferred to the northern battlefield. There was no easier time to break through Luoyang than now.”
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the aristocratic families dare to attack Luoyang City to assassinate the emperor?”
The commander cried out.
The country had nurtured its soldiers for 400 years. Even a top-notch sage like him had subconsciously ignored the possibility of rebellion.
"They dare to attack my northern expedition army at night. What else do aristocratic families not dare to do?”
Liu Hong looked at the blooming peonies outside the window and said meaningfully,""This one has given the aristocratic families a chance. It depends on whether the aristocratic families dare to seize it!”
