The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"But even if that's the case, can we really fight against the Northern Mongols with just 5,000 cavalry? If they leave the city, I'm afraid their numbers won't be too small!"

"We'll know whether we can fight back or not soon. Since he has a plan, we just need to follow his orders!" Ning Potian's eyes showed anticipation.

He also had doubts in his heart, but when he thought of the battle during the day, he gained a little more confidence.

On the other side, 5,000 cavalrymen led by another general were guarding the north gate. He was also unsure, but he could only follow orders.

In addition to the cavalrymen guarding and ambushing at the South Gate and the North Gate, the 20,000 cavalrymen led by Chu Chengduan and Chu Chengren were also guarding not far from the East Gate.

On the left was Jiang Fan's Zhoufu Army Camp, which led directly to the East Gate. The two brothers looked at the East Gate in front of them, their faces full of confusion.

They couldn't figure out how Jiang Fan could open the east gate and let them rush into the city. But Jiang Fan was so confident that they could only wait and see the result.

In this way, time passed little by little, and at midnight, 20,000 people sneaked out from the South Gate and the North Gate, 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry each.

The infantry approached the east gate, and the cavalry slowed down and followed behind the infantry.

There was a distance between the two sides, which was to facilitate the cavalry to increase their horse speed and charge.

Twenty thousand Northern Mongolian infantrymen quietly encircled Jiang Fan's Zhoufu Army camp in two directions, while twenty thousand cavalrymen were ready to charge at any time in the rear.

Soon, the Northern Mongolian infantry from the north and south approached within a hundred feet of the main camp. At this time, they discovered a spiked bamboo formation in front of them.

Seeing this scene, the Northern Mongolian infantry looked slightly happy, but apart from seeing the spiked bamboo formation, they did not find any infantry guarding this place.

The generals who led the army looked at the camp in front of them which had fallen into darkness with doubt and frowned. They looked at each other and one of them said:

"Why is there no fire in the camp? Isn't there even a night watchman?"

The other thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps they are too arrogant and let down their guard after a great victory during the day. However, they are really stupid enough to think that placing spiked bamboo formations on both sides of the camp can stop our night attack. How naive!"

"No matter what they think, we must first clear the spiked bamboo formation and leave space for the cavalry to charge. Once we break into the military camp, it will be their death."

Upon hearing this, several generals nodded and quickly directed their infantry to begin clearing the thorny bamboo joints.

The 10,000 infantrymen were extremely fast. In less than half a cup of tea, they had almost cleared all the thorny bamboo joints!

Then, they sent a safety signal to the Northern Mongolian Cavalry behind them, and then the Northern Mongolian Cavalry immediately launched a charge towards the camp.

In the blink of an eye, 20,000 Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry from the north and south attacked the Zhoufu Army’s camp.

On the city wall of the east gate, Dora Yue'er quietly watched the battle situation below. It was very dark at night, and one could hardly see one's hand in front of one's face. However, the Northern Mongolian cavalry and infantry lit torches at this time.

The two sides were like two fire dragons, heading straight for the Zhoufu Army camp in the middle. The camp, which stretched for several miles, was suddenly illuminated by the flames.

Seeing her army rushing into the camp several miles away, Dora Yue'er finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

As long as they rush into the military camp and cause chaos, the entire Zhoufu army will be completely destroyed!

The Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry who rushed into the camp began to set fire to the camp, and the entire camp of the Zhoufu Army was immediately engulfed in flames.

However, when the Northern Mongolian cavalry burned all the military tents on the periphery, they were surprised to find that there was not a single soldier in the entire military camp.

This situation made everyone dumbfounded. Even if all the Yan soldiers were resting in the tents, there would always be people rushing out when the tents were on fire.

But they didn't see even a single person. The entire camp was dead silent, as if there was not a single living person.

This situation made the Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry dumbfounded, and also gave the generals a bad feeling. They were afraid that they had fallen into a trap!

On the east gate city wall, Dora Yue'er was also somewhat confused. She could see the Yan army's camp on fire from afar, but she could not hear any sound of fighting.

All that could be heard was the shouting and killing of the Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry. Almost all of the 40,000-strong army rushed into the camp, but did not encounter a single Yan army.

Just as they were in doubt, suddenly, there were violent explosions around them. The fire in the camp ignited the gunpowder buried around. The whole camp was immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​explosions and fire.

Then, there were screams, an even more intense fire, and the Northern Mongolian army was in complete chaos.

They were trapped in the sea of ​​fire in the camp. When they wanted to rush out of the camp, they found that the surrounding camps were built intricately and they suddenly lost their way.

The Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry outside reacted quickly and rushed out of the camp. But as soon as they rushed out, they saw cavalry blocking them.

Behind the cavalry were the infantry of the Zhoufu Army. They were looking at the Northern Mongolian cavalry with mockery in their eyes.

Ning Potian led 5,000 cavalrymen and looked at the Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry rushing out with horror in his eyes. He did not expect that Jiang Fan's trick of luring them into a trap would actually trap tens of thousands of Northern Mongolian cavalrymen in the sea of ​​fire in the camp.

They didn't even need to fight the Northern Mongolians head-on. They just needed to stay outside the sea of ​​fire and slaughter those Northern Mongolian infantry and cavalry who escaped!

The five thousand cavalrymen and generals on the other side looked at the camp engulfed in fire and the Northern Mongolian soldiers struggling in it. There was horror in their eyes, but more of it was joy.

Tens of thousands of enemy troops from Northern Mongolia were defeated just like that and jumped into the pit themselves.

Dora Yue'er looked at the Northern Mongolian soldiers who were trapped in the camp that stretched for several miles. Her eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, and then, deep anger and murderous intent.

Her soldiers were once again tricked by Jiang Fan. She didn't even think that Jiang Fan had set up such a big trap for her to fall into.

It was ridiculous that she had unknowingly let her 40,000 soldiers get caught in a trap. Now, she could only watch helplessly, unable to even send troops to rescue them.

It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she can't. Jiang Fan could have imagined that she would attack the military camp at night and set up such a killing plan, so there must be a back-up plan.

She had a hunch that if she really sent troops to rescue, in the end only that many people would be killed!

Just as she was terrified, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the city gate below, and the entire city wall seemed to collapse. She looked down in astonishment. She thought to herself, this is not good!

The east gate might have been blasted open by some powerful weapon. She thought of the powerful thunder weapon under Jiang Fan's command.

If there were a large number of them, they could possibly blow open the city gate. Just as she was shocked, suddenly, countless infantrymen appeared from the darkness ahead.
