Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

"Why, do you feel some movement?"

The soldier on night watch frowned slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in his heart.

"What's going on!?"

"Maybe the wild boar was in heat late at night."

"Don't think too much, just go to sleep."

Another soldier disagreed and laughed coldly.

This time when they set out from Kyoto, they were on high alert, but when the final battle was about to begin, everything was peaceful and prosperous.

There was no tense atmosphere from top to bottom.

Everyone knows that there will definitely be a big war, so what they are thinking about now is to recover as quickly as possible and get themselves in better condition, otherwise they will be the first to die in the war.

After hearing what his companions said, the soldier who had been somewhat skeptical just now could only breathe a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that they were lucky to be able to fight this time.

During the whole process, I ate well, dressed well, and slept well. Moreover, the military pay was paid on time. Compared with the past, it was really comfortable.

But no one realizes that behind this comfort lies a huge risk.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

It was not until the roars of murderous intent began to permeate and resound above the imperial army that everyone suddenly felt something was wrong.

However, they still did not react immediately, and many soldiers even thought that they were hallucinating.

During this period, they had already been obsessed with the beautiful dream woven by the Prime Minister, believing that the 300,000-strong army was an absolutely elite force that could wipe out everything in the world, and no one would dare to launch a sneak attack.

Even when murderous intent was everywhere, the defending soldiers were still sleepy.

At this time, it was late at night, the wind was a little cold, and the sky was quite dark.

Even with the light of the torch, I could only vaguely see places not far away.

until!

When they felt the earth shaking and even the stones trembling, their hearts were shocked.

Then, as far as the eye could see, the Zhenbei Army, as densely packed as a swarm of carp crossing the river, appeared in front of them without any warning.

The Zhenbei Army's attire was unique; they were fully armed and charged forward with an absolutely tyrannical and fierce momentum.

They looked so ferocious that just a glance at each other made the imperial soldiers tremble with fear.

"Damn it, call someone!"

"What a bunch of trash!"

"If you keep doing this, I'll rush to your camp!"

Those who were panicking at this moment were not only the soldiers defending at the front line, but also the 5,000 Zhenbei Army.

They are not just the Zhenbei Army, but also the elite of the aristocratic families. Naturally, they know that they are in cahoots with the imperial court, and they don't want the imperial court to suffer too much loss.

As long as the imperial court could quickly form an effective resistance and this sneak attack failed, they could complete their mission and return safely.

But unfortunately, these defensive soldiers are the least favored and the least fought for.

Seeing the Zhenbei Army swarming over to attack them, they were completely panicked, stood there in a daze, and even forgot to call out.

In a daze, they could only allow these 5,000 elite soldiers to get closer and closer.

Upon seeing this, these five thousand people were so angry that they thought these guys were really useless.

The most important thing is that there are no defensive measures in the entire garrison. In this way, they can simply march straight in and kill their way to the core.

Even if he was not a general, even if he was a disabled person, he would know that this method of setting up camp was extremely dangerous.

I really don’t know how the court allowed a fool to become the commander-in-chief.

But at this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, and the Zhenbei Army had no choice but to kill them.

After all, in this situation, it would be against the will of heaven not to launch a night attack.

The most important thing is that they know that Lei Tong is right at the back, and anyone who dares to retreat at this time will die.

Thinking of this, they could only grit their teeth and continue to move forward.

"We can only blame the imperial court. They are idiots."

He secretly sighed in his heart. These elite soldiers knew very well that they would not be able to turn back today unless they killed some soldiers from the imperial court.

As for how many will be killed, that depends on how long the imperial court’s defense can hold out.

Thinking of this, their eyes turned red and they couldn't care about anything else.

Five thousand people, like jackals, turned into sharp knives and blades and fiercely penetrated into the imperial military camp.

Wherever they went, they gave the imperial soldiers who were on guard no chance at all.

With a flick of his sword, he chopped off their heads.

The movements were quick and without any delay.

In just a few dozen breaths, five thousand elite soldiers took advantage of the cover of night and broke into the imperial base camp.

Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the spot before they even had a chance to take action.

For a moment, blood rushed into the sky, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire world under the blowing of the night wind.

At this moment, those soldiers who were panicking and even suspected that they had not woken up finally became much more sober.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Amidst the roars, the originally quiet base camp finally saw some movement.

Boom boom boom! ! !

At the same time, the bells were rung, covering the entire base camp.

Those soldiers who were sleeping were also awakened by the shocking bell sounds.

After seeing this scene, the 5,000 elite soldiers who launched the sneak attack finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was exactly the result they wanted.

As long as the 300,000 troops wake up, the defense they form will not be easily broken through.

At this time, if Lei Tong gave the order to withdraw his troops, they would be able to complete the mission perfectly.

Thinking of this, they were overjoyed.

But the actions of his hands did not stop, and the fighting even became more intense.

On the one hand, they wanted to show their determination, and on the other hand, they wanted to teach the court a lesson.

If we march and fight like this, let alone an army of 300,000, even an army of 500,000, will not be able to withstand the consumption.

One by one, the imperial soldiers fell in a pool of blood, the blood dyed the ground red, and the corpses were everywhere.

Unfortunately, the defense that was formed did not turn into effective force in the first place.

This is not a war, it's a one-sided massacre.

Some soldiers of the imperial court were so frightened when they saw the ferocious and murderous Zhenbei Army that some even turned around and ran away.

Even some capable imperial soldiers wanted to resist, but they didn't know how to do it for a while.

Seeing this scene, the five thousand elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were also a little confused.

They couldn't understand, wasn't this the elite of the imperial court?

Aren't they warriors transferred from noble families all over the world? !

Why are they so cowardly when it comes to fighting? Why are their fighting abilities so poor!?

If all the 300,000 elite troops of the imperial court were in this condition, they even felt that the imperial court might not be able to win this battle.

At the same time, Lei Tong, who was at the end of the army, finally stood up slowly.

His eyes kept moving as he looked at the 5,000 elite soldiers who had rushed into the imperial camp with unstoppable force.

"General, we succeeded!"

At this time, there were about ten people around him.

These ten people were none other than Lei Tong's own personal guards, and they were absolutely loyal.

And this time, Lei Tong still brought them with him.

However, these dozen people did not know the nature of the five thousand elite troops.

They even looked excited, with fighting spirit in their eyes. It was obvious that they thought this sneak attack was quite successful.

Only Lei Tong shook his head. He knew better than anyone that this sneak attack would not be successful.

Because what they wanted was not only to cause damage to the imperial court, but also to make these 5,000 elite soldiers never return.

Only when these five thousand people are all dead will his mission be half completed.

"General, the court has reacted,"

"I'm afraid we have to withdraw our troops."

There were guards observing the battle situation ahead, and when they saw countless torches lit up in the imperial camp, their hearts trembled slightly, then they frowned and spoke softly.

An army of 300,000, even if they are just straw men, cannot be compared to 5,000 elite soldiers.

The best time to retreat is now.

Otherwise, by the time they react and form a siege, it will be too late to retreat.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lei Tong. As long as Lei Tong gave an order, they could beat the drums and retreat.

However, to the surprise of these ten people, Lei Tong shook his head at this time.

Not only did he not intend to withdraw his troops, but he was full of fighting spirit and slowly drew the sword from his waist...
