The grass in the factory should be plucked

Late at night, a black shadow fell quietly from the wall of Yumen Pass like a leaf and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

In the dark sky, a dark shadow also passed silently.

Under the cover of night, the torches in the Turpan military camp swayed in the strong wind like will-o'-the-wisp fires.

The soldiers on duty at night were patrolling the camp fully armed, and they did not notice at all that a dark shadow was moving quickly between the tents like a ghost, appearing and disappearing.

Inside Yumen Pass.

Wei Zhuang's eyelids twitched, and he called Zhou Zhongguang over: "Where is the Duke? Has he rested?"

Zhou Zhongguang scratched his head and said, "I don't know. There is no movement from the Dingguo Army either. Should we send someone to ask?"

Didn’t the Duke say that he would sneak into the enemy camp tonight and take away Sayyid’s head?

It's already the 10:00 p.m., and there's been no movement from the Dingguo Army.

Wei Zhuang hesitated for a while and said, "For the time being, keep the troops in place and wait and see what happens."

You can't just ask Duke Dingguo, didn't you say you wanted to explore the enemy camp at night? Are you going or not?

Turpan military camp.

The lights were on in the central army tent, and Sayyid's rough shouting and cursing could be faintly heard.

His left eye was pecked blind by the ferocious eagle and it was in great pain.

At this time, Sayyid was sitting beside the bed with his arms and legs stretched out. The military doctor was changing his dressing with trembling hands, and accidentally touched his wound with his fingers.

Sayid hissed, kicked the military doctor down, and roared: "If you can't even save my eyes, what use are you?"

"Come here, pull him down and chop him!"

"Marshal, please spare my life, Marshal, please spare my life..."

The military doctor was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Upon hearing the voice, the deputy general opened the tent door and walked in.

"Marshal, five hundred crossbow arrows have been delivered."

As he bowed and reported, he secretly winked at the military doctor.

We can’t kill any more military doctors. Many soldiers were injured by eagles yesterday, and we don’t have enough military doctors!

The military doctor crawled out of the tent.

Sayid gnashed his teeth and said, "Alright! I will make those damn flat-haired beasts die!"

He ordered people to fetch these 500 crossbows overnight, just to use them to deal with the flock of eagles.

"Have you investigated it clearly? What happened to those flat-haired beasts?"

The deputy general showed a bit of confusion on his face: "According to the spies' report, the eagles were brought by the Dingguo Army."

He had heard that the Snow Eagle grew on the top of Changbai Mountain in the north and was revered as a sacred eagle by the Jurchens. Why did it follow the Dingguo Army to the Western Regions?

Looking at the eagles' measured advance and retreat and their obedience to orders, it is clear that they have undergone rigorous training!

How could the Chu army tame such a large group of divine eagles?

After hearing his report, Sayid snorted, "Who cares about the divine eagle? Since you have come to the Western Regions, leave them all to me!"

At this moment, a sharp eagle cry was heard above the tent.

Sayid's expression suddenly changed: "Those eagles are coming again!"

"It's a good time to try out those crossbow arrows! Pass the order down, anyone with wings will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and left.

"Hiss..." Sayyid pulled at the wound and grimaced in pain.

He stood up and tried to find a clean cloth to cover his injured eye.

Suddenly, he felt his hair stand on end and turned around abruptly.

A man in black seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing quietly in front of him, looking down at him.

Sayid's eyes were red with anger. How on earth did this person get in? !

"Come……"

He had just shouted a word when a cold light flashed and the sharp sword had accurately slashed across his throat.

Sayyid opened his one eye wide, a gurgling sound came from his throat, blood gushed out, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Before he lost consciousness, he only remembered that the man in black had an extremely handsome face.

The war god of the Great Chu State, Duke Dingguo Xie Chang'an, was said to have a good appearance and was nicknamed the Jade-faced Evil Star.

It wouldn't be a disgrace to myself to die in his hands.

It’s a pity that we can’t fight each other on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies, the god of war of the Great Chu, actually committed such an assassination!

Sayyid opened his eyes wide in unwillingness, fell to the ground, and died with his eyes open.

Xie Changan sneered, the Turpan Khanate was just not worth his time.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed a cloak, wrapped Sayyid's head, and quickly left the central military tent.

Xie Changan informed Xiaoying through the contract: "Chengfeng, let's go!"

As the archers in the military camp raised their crossbows, the eagle that had been provoking them in the air screamed, spread its wings and flew away.

At the same time, a huge fire suddenly broke out in the granary in the northwest corner of the camp, and thick smoke billowed.

The camp was in an uproar, and the soldiers rushed towards the fire with buckets of water.

No one noticed that a black shadow took advantage of the chaos and, like a ghost, rose and fell a few times before disappearing into the darkness.

Inside Yumen Pass.

Zhou Zhongguang hurried over to report: "The Turpan barbarians' camp is on fire!"

Wei Zhuang had not dared to close his eyes, but upon hearing this he suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Pass the order down, gather 20,000 soldiers and prepare to respond!"

The Duke really took action!

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhongguang was very excited, and he wondered whether the Duke had succeeded.

At this time, the personal guard came to report: "General Yin Er is here."

"Come in quickly!" Wei Zhuang said as he put on his armor.

Yin Er strode in, smiling: "No need to respond, the Duke is back!"

Wei Zhuang and the others were surprised. They came back? !

When did he come out of confinement? Why didn't he make any movement at all?

"So...did you succeed?" Zhou Zhongguang asked hopefully.

Yin Er smiled and said, "General Wei and General Zhou, we will know once we get to the city gate."

Wei Zhuang and the other two were overjoyed, but they couldn't believe it. How could they succeed so easily?

Turpan military camp.

In the early hours of the morning, the fire was finally put out. After counting, the generals found that there was very little food left.

The deputy general had a dark face and asked: "Have you reported to the commander?"

Everyone looked at each other.

After the commander was injured, he was extremely furious and no one dared to offend him. Therefore, when the granary caught fire, no one dared to report it.

The deputy general had no choice but to bite the bullet and report back to Sayyid.

One can imagine how shocked and horrified he was when he saw the headless body of the commander-in-chief in the central military tent!

The camp suddenly fell into chaos, fear spread like a plague, and the soldiers were panicked as if the end of the world had come.

But at this time, the scene in the Chu military camp was quite different.

Generals Wei Zhuang and Zhou Zhongguang were all stunned and speechless when they saw the head hanging high on the top of Yumen Pass under the light of torches.

Isn't that head with a face full of fear and eyes wide open the enemy commander who was showing off his might to them during the day - Sayyid?

The soldiers of the Pingxi Army suddenly burst into cheers.

"The God of War will win! Great Chu will win!"

"Defeat the barbarians and enhance our country's prestige!

……

Deafening cheers resounded across the sky above Yumen Pass, as if penetrating the darkness before dawn and ushering in the rising sun.
