Hidden in the court

It was some time later that the two sides completed an exchange of intelligence.

"The light cavalry coming towards the main camp has been almost wiped out, and our secret sentries should have been exposed as well. Chen Xing sent back news that he has wiped out several hundred people, and is still moving towards Xihe, Long Yao, and Liu Dong. There are less than 20,000 people left in the opposite camp, and they may have divided their forces to come towards our camp. In addition, their 4,000 heavy cavalry are coming from both sides, most likely heading for our camp as well."

Chen Ju analyzed the current situation. Lu Peng pondered for a long time before he said worriedly, "Our spies didn't find so many people. Do you think it's possible that they can avoid our spies and sneak towards our camp?"

"Although this is not Liu Dong's style, there are indeed less than 20,000 soldiers left in their camp. If Xihe Longyao leads 30,000 soldiers to our camp, doesn't that mean he wants to fight us?"

"Then, we need to increase our efforts and investigate. We must find out where they hid the 30,000 people. Also, we need to reinforce the stronghold to prevent surprise attacks. We need to avoid bringing food and fodder ashore."

"No, let's divide our forces. I'll build another stronghold on the front flank. We can form a corner with each other and be better at guarding against them."

"Well, that's fine too."

On the other side, Xihe, Long Yao and Liu Dong were one in the dark and the other in the light.

Xihe Longyao even sent 10,000 people to go north by detour, with the purpose of attacking Huanglong directly. How far did they go? It has only been more than ten days since the martial arts performance began, and the plan for these 10,000 people is to spend nearly two months to go from the hinterland of Suzhou to behind the Wei River.

In addition, spies reported that the white cloth used to identify our "fallen" soldiers was missing, and the entire tent figured out what was going on.

It turns out that the other party was also using tactical interspersion.

Liu Dong also had an unexpected surprise. He discovered an enemy supply route. However, he did not act rashly, but instead tried it repeatedly.

As for some teams on both sides that did not send back any news, they all knew what was going on.

It was five days later that Lu Peng and Chen Ju learned that Xihe Longyao's camp was only 200 miles away from Chang'an.

"Twenty thousand from Liu Dong, and twenty thousand from Xihe and Longyao. That's about right."

"They didn't send out that many people!"

Now they concluded that there was absolutely no possibility of a direct war between the two sides, so they felt relieved.

What they didn't know was that Xihe and Long Yao had just led 15,000 soldiers and horses and rushed over like crazy, and Liu Dong also sent out 10,000 soldiers to join them.

Fortunately, the spy's message arrived in time, allowing them to be prepared.

"Are they going to start fighting right away?"

"Then fight him. Are you afraid of him?"

"Correct!"

Someone took the lead in shouting. In fact, there had been frequent reports of victory on the battlefield these days, and the morale of the soldiers was high. The generals in this military tent were also shouting.

Somehow, the more this happened, the more Lu Peng felt something was wrong.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster..."

On the other hand, Chen Xing on the battlefield was making rapid progress. This fake army had expanded to nearly a thousand people and was getting closer and closer to Liu Dong's camp.

He became even more excited when he learned that the number of defenders in Liu Dong's camp was less than 10,000.

"Brothers, if we can successfully attack the camp, it will be a great achievement. If we can capture and kill two enemy commanders, we will win directly. Let's rest first, sneak into the camp tonight under the cover of night, and head straight for the central army tent."

Not only him, but everyone felt their blood boiling. Two armies were facing each other, and you suddenly appeared in the enemy's base camp and beheaded the enemy marshal. This is the contemporary champion marquis!

The last ray of afterglow in the sky gradually faded, replaced by endless deep blue. Stars began to twinkle, like gems inlaid on the sky, emitting a mysterious and charming light.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness and the rustling of leaves in the woods. In this quiet night, everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious.

A light gradually appeared in the distance, and everyone knew that it was the enemy camp. The orange-yellow light added a touch of warmth to the quiet night and also ignited the fire in their hearts.

There is a special smell in the night air, it is the fishy smell of soil, the fragrance of grass and trees, the smell of distant smoke, and the smell of rust on armor. These smells are intertwined with each other, making people feel inexplicably at ease.

The falling of night covers the earth with a mysterious veil.

Shuo Qi spreads to the golden watchman, and the cold shines on the iron clothes.

At midnight, when people were most sleepy, the commander guarding the camp saw a group of people walking out of the night, tied with white cloth, they should be his people. But even so, he still asked.

"Stop, who are you?"

"We are Commander Jing's troops. We were ambushed and dispersed. We had no choice but to return to the camp. Commander, you must let General Liu know about this."

Chen Xing's face was filled with anxiety and sincerity, and it was obvious that he had not been completely overwhelmed by this tremendous achievement.

The general guarding the camp was stunned for a moment, then snickered. Although the password was wrong, it was not impossible to let you in. He immediately shouted to Chen Xing, "Okay, brothers, come in, you go and explain the situation to General Liu in person."

After saying this, the commander guarding the camp blew a whistle.

The camp gate was wide open, and Chen Xing suddenly felt a little dreamy. How could it be so smooth?

But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Without any doubt, Chen Ju led his men straight to the central army tent.

Two hundred steps...

Hundred steps...

Fifty steps...

They were soon stopped by someone. Chen Xing and the soldiers behind him were suddenly startled and their hands unconsciously reached for their weapons.

"You can't bring so many people in there."

Chen Xing was silent and thought. In fact, it was not a bad idea for them to rush forward directly, but the loss would be too great. If a few people entered the enemy's territory, all their efforts might fail.

Chen Xing thought about it, made up his mind, and drew his sword.

"Charge in and kill the enemy general!"

Hundreds of infantrymen followed closely behind him and rushed towards the big tent together.

But suddenly, thousands of people gathered around, forming three layers inside and three layers outside, making it impossible to get through.

"Fuck, we've fallen into a trap, kill them, stop them!"

At this moment, there is no time for hesitation, you can only fight to the death!

When he led his men to the tent with great difficulty, there were only a dozen people left behind him.

He fired a shot and pushed aside the door curtain, only to see more than a dozen armed generals in the tent.

Liu Dong smiled and said, "Nephew, do you want to fight again?"

Chen Xing didn't say anything, but just tightened the gun in his hand.

The generals who did not want to take advantage of him stepped out and waved their hands, ready to challenge him in single combat.

But the next second, three white marks appeared on his body.

"Stop pretending, come on!"

Everyone rushed forward, and Chen Xing's gun left an afterimage, but it was only the limit of one for three, which was of no avail.
