“Brother Yin!” Jin Hui, who had been awakened at some point, hurried to the top of the Shuofang City tower. “I just received a pigeon message saying that Lan Quanbao is preparing to lead a large army to attack the Yancheng army. I’m afraid they have already set out!”

"I know." Yin Ruoshui's face was calm, his eyes still looking at the fire that was gradually disappearing in the distance, "The Mobei Army also has several thousand cavalrymen moving around."

Jin Hui looked at Yin Ruoshui's expression, which was not disturbed at all, and asked softly, "Then we..."

"You don't have to do anything," Yin Ruoshui said calmly, "Just watch the show."

Jin Hui understood Yin Ruoshui's intention and curled his lips slightly: "Yes, we are only responsible for guarding Shuofang City."

Xia Qin is ready.

She raised her eyes to look at Mo Ye beside her. Although a great battle was about to begin, she felt extremely at ease.

As long as this person is by her side, she will always feel inexplicably at ease. She smiled at Mo Ye and said, "Mo Ye, do you know what fireworks are?"

"Fireworks?" Mo Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, "Flowers in the smoke, are they the bamboo thunder just now?"

Xia Qin shook her head slightly, with a sly look on her face, and said mysteriously: "That can only be considered a small firecracker."

"Xia Xia, you mean..." Mo Ye thought of the wooden barrel in the warehouse. If the wooden barrel and the bamboo tube had the same function, and the volume was nearly a hundred times larger...

unimaginable!

While Mo Ye was thinking about this, he had already noticed that Huo Jinying and others were arranging something in the distance.

Everyone understood that this was just the beginning. The Huns would not admit defeat so easily, nor would they give up Yunzhong City directly. Even the Right Wise King could not afford such consequences.

He sighed, his eyes full of tenderness and worry: "Silly girl, have you ever thought about how you are going to explain this bamboo thunder incident to the Great Xia court in the future."

Xia Qin understood what Mo Ye meant. This black gunpowder must not fall into the hands of others.

It would be fine if it were a peaceful and prosperous time, but now the emperor is incompetent and wars are raging all over the world. If this thing is used by others, I have no way to control the development of the situation.

However, only Mo Ye and I know the ingredients and proportions, and only my Night Owl team knows for sure about the bamboo thunder. I will tell them when the time comes...

"They are coming!" Mo Ye interrupted Xia Qin's thoughts.

In such a quiet night, the sounds of thousands of war horses began to echo in the Gobi Desert. They waited quietly, but soon the sound of horse hooves stopped.

Everyone is waiting.

"Right Wise King, the troops of Mobei City and Yancheng are all around, but there is no movement in Shuofang City."

Lan Quanbao listened to Wu Qiulin's report with a resolute look in his eyes.

It was a helpless move for him to lead the army to attack at this moment. The 5,000 vanguard troops fled in panic. If he did not react quickly, it would be too late when rumors spread.

Not to mention the besieged Yunzhong City, I'm afraid Qingyun City will also be difficult to defend.

Therefore, he had to take a risk and take a gamble.

"Humph," Lan Quanbao said unhappily, "Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. No matter which side, us or the Great Xia Kingdom, is weakened, Yin Ruoshui will be happy to see it happen."

He thought for a moment and said, "General Wu, you lead 10,000 people to keep an eye on the reinforcements from Mobei City. They dare not send out their entire army. General Qu, you lead 5,000 people to check the place where the vanguard was attacked. I will lead the main force and I will be there soon."

"Yes!"

At this moment in Yunzhong City, the defending general Zuo You, the left general, looked at the order from Lan Quanbao delivered by carrier pigeon, and ordered the defenders of the entire city to be prepared.

In the darkness, on the endless Gobi Desert, everyone was ready to make a move.

The Hun army was getting closer and closer to where Xia Qin was. Both the Night Owl Squad and the elite soldiers led by Chu He were frightened by the continuous sound of horse hooves.

Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down their foreheads. The Hun army was only more than 300 meters away from them.

If it weren't for the darkness that protected them, the consequences would be predictable.

The endless and vague black shadows put Xia Qin under a lot of pressure. Two hundred against tens of thousands, for her, this was also a big gamble.

She bet that the Hun army would be intimidated by her "fireworks".

Otherwise, when Yin Ruoshui came to help, Daxia would be at a clear disadvantage, and she would not be absolutely sure of victory.

However, she was absolutely sure that she would not lose.

"Brother Huo, are you ready?" Xia Qin asked softly to Huo Jinying who was lying in ambush here like her.

"Miss, everything is ready!" He looked back at the two catapults that had been prepared not far away.

Da da da da…

To Xia Qin's surprise, the Yancheng army also appeared. The sound of slow horse hooves came from a distance, still some distance away from Xia Qin.

Seeing this, the Hun army also slowed down their movements.

The ground was still dark, and Xia Qin didn't know whether his father and brother were leading the Yancheng army to help.

However, the appearance of the Yancheng Army changed her expression and she instantly changed her original plan.

She was ready to continue waiting patiently for the best opportunity.

But they couldn't wait too long. After half an hour, the sky would probably turn white, and they would be exposed.

Lan Quanbao was in the Hun army. Although he couldn't see the number of Yancheng troops clearly, he knew from the sound of horse hooves that there were probably tens of thousands of them.

"Right Wise King, General Wu has already encountered the Mobei Army and started fighting!"

Lan Quanbao stared at the front, as if he could see the enemy. He shouted, "Beat the drum! Charge the whole army! Go straight to the Yancheng Army camp! Leave no one alive!"

As drums sounded, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry accelerated their advance and began the first wave of attack. Their target was naturally the Yancheng army several miles away.

The other Hun soldiers waited in the back for a better opportunity.

"Shoot!" Mu Jinyu stood at the front of the army and waited until the enemy got closer and closer, then he asked his subordinates to give a signal.

After a long roar, thousands of arrows were fired at the oncoming Hun army like a rainstorm!

"Bang, bang, bang! Whoosh, whoosh! Clang, clang, clang!" The sounds of arrows, blocks, and arrow hits completely broke the already false tranquility above the Gobi Desert.

Hun soldiers were shot off their horses one after another. Even if they were not hit in vital parts, they would have no chance of survival as they would be trampled by the war horses behind them.

Seeing that the enemy was less than 300 meters away from him, Mu Jinyu issued the second order.

"Raise your shield!"

The short bow of the Xiongnu had a shorter range than the strong bow of the Daxia Kingdom. At this distance, the Xiongnu soldiers also began to raise their short bows and shoot at the Yancheng army.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Naturally, most of the arrows were blocked.

"Raise the spear!"

Following the third signal, the Yancheng Army's soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly set up two rows of three-meter-long spears at the front row of the army.

Of course, this also means that the final hand-to-hand combat is about to come.

"kill!!!"

The speed of the front Hun cavalry was slowed down by the spears. Mu Jinyu looked at the enemy so close with an expressionless face. Without any hesitation, he led his troops to rush towards the enemy.

He had only 5,000 cavalrymen under his command and had to resist the first and most fiercest wave of the Huns' attack.

Lan Quanbao would naturally not wait foolishly for the first wave of troops to be devoured. He waved his right arm, and the second wave of 10,000 troops rushed towards Mu Jinyu.

Hearing the sound of fighting coming from afar again, Mu Jinyu smiled strangely.

Just a moment later, Mu Lie led an army of 15,000 to provide support from the flank. Mu Jinyu, who was originally in a somewhat passive position, instantly felt much more relaxed.

Noticing the change in the situation, Lan Quanbao frowned, hesitant about whether to advance or retreat.

It was obvious that he understood that he had fallen into a trap.

Xia Qin keenly grasped the opportunity and whispered to Huo Jinying: "Brother Huo, move the catapult forward another 100 meters."

Huo Jinying looked at the distance which was less than 300 meters. Although it was very easy to be discovered at this distance, he still nodded vigorously!
