My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 166: Heavy Damage to the Huo Family Army

At this time, the Lei family's heavy infantry on the battlefield were advancing steadily, like a moving steel fortress, causing great oppression to the Yang family army.

Mu Zheng was not in a hurry. He divided the Yang family army into several small teams, each of which carried a large number of ropes and simple tripwire devices.

Following Mu Zheng's instructions, the soldiers of the Yang family army flexibly shuttled around the Lei family's heavy infantry, pretending to attack, causing the heavy infantry to continuously swing their giant axes for defense.

As Mu Zheng gave his orders, he pondered, "The Lei family's heavy infantry is too clumsy. If we disrupt their pace and throw them into disarray, their strength will be undone. These tripwires and ropes are the key to breaking them. I hope you guys can set them up properly. We absolutely mustn't be discovered."

Another part of the Yang family army took the opportunity to quietly lay tripwires on the road that the Lei family heavy infantry had to pass, and used ropes to connect some nearby dead trees and boulders.

After arranging everything, Mu Zheng personally led a feint attack team and rushed towards the front of the Lei family heavy infantry, attracting all their attention.

When the Lei heavy infantry came after them with heavy steps, the Yang army feigned defeat and retreated again. Unaware of the ruse, the Lei heavy infantry sped up in pursuit, only to be tripped by the tripwires and thrown to the ground.

The ropes connected to the dead trees and boulders were also pulled. The huge impact force caused many Lei family heavy infantrymen to fall to the ground, and the originally neat formation instantly became chaotic.

The Yang family army took advantage of this opportunity and surrounded them from all directions. They used their flexible bodies to avoid the giant axes wielded by the heavy infantrymen and targeted their joints and the gaps between their helmets and armor.

Mu Zheng was overjoyed as he watched the Lei family's heavy infantry fall into chaos, thinking, "It really worked. As long as we keep up this offensive, the Lei family won't be a threat!" After losing the advantage of their formation, the Lei family's heavy infantry retreated step by step and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the Feng and Lei families had suffered defeats one after another, the Huo family became extremely anxious and wanted to use the same old trick again, increasing the intensity of the fire attack to save the situation.

They drove their soldiers to throw fire pots at Yang's army continuously. The fire spread rapidly and the battlefield was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. The pungent smoke billowed up, making it difficult for the soldiers of Yang's army to breathe and obstructing their vision.

Mu Zheng frowned, but he was not panicked. Long before the war, he had expected that the Huo family would rely on fire attacks to create chaos, so he had prepared corresponding countermeasures.

He quickly gathered the Yang Family Army and shouted, "Brothers, don't panic! The Huo Family wants to burn us with fire, so we will give them a taste of their own medicine. Act according to our previous plan!"

At the same time, he secretly congratulated himself on his foresight: "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise, my brothers would have suffered great losses in this sea of ​​fire. Now it depends on whether we can break the Huo family's fire attack as planned and reverse this passive situation."

It turned out that Mu Zheng had previously instructed some of the Yang family army soldiers to prepare a large number of thick wet cloths in advance. These wet cloths were all made of thick and non-flammable fabrics after being soaked in water. After special treatment, they could not only effectively block the invasion of flames, but also filter the smoke to a certain extent.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Yang family army took out wet cloth, quickly wrapped it around their bodies, covered their mouths and noses, and minimized the damage to themselves from the fire and smoke.

At the same time, Mu Zheng commanded another elite group of the Yang family army, about 300 people, to circle around the Huo family's flank. This flank was the Huo family's logistical supply area, where they stored fire pots and other flammable materials. The location was relatively hidden, but Mu Zheng had already figured out the situation here through careful observation of the battlefield terrain.

This elite force of the Yang family army was divided into several small teams. They used the thick smoke on the battlefield as cover and carefully moved towards the flank of the Huo family.

Everyone lowered their bodies, walked lightly, and tried not to make any noise. Like ghosts in the dark night, they approached their target quietly and silently.

Mu Zheng was watching the team's movements while thinking, "The Huo family's supply depot is their lifeline. If we can successfully burn it down, their fire attack will be unsustainable. Success or failure depends on this one move. Brothers, you must be careful."

The soldiers in charge of guarding the Huo family's supply department were so focused on the raging fire on the front battlefield and the "difficult" appearance of the Yang family's army that they didn't realize the danger was quietly approaching behind them.

When the elite troops of the Yang family army were only dozens of steps away from the supply point, Mu Zheng seized the opportunity and gave the signal to attack.

A soldier from the Yang family army threw a stone first, which accurately hit the back of the neck of a guard from the Huo family. The soldier groaned and collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the elite soldiers of the Yang family army rushed towards the supply area shouting like tigers out of a cage.

They brandished their swords and quickly dealt with the Huo family guards who had no time to react, and then threw torches at the piles of fire pots and other flammable materials.

In an instant, there was a loud "boom" and the supply area was instantly engulfed in flames. The fire spread rapidly, and was several times more ferocious than the fire created by the Huo family on the front battlefield.

When the soldiers of the Huo family heard the loud noise behind them, they turned around and were shocked to see flames shooting up into the sky from their own supply area, which was the foundation of their fire attack.

For a moment, the morale of the Huo family was in chaos and their formation began to waver.

On the front battlefield, the Yang family soldiers, wrapped in wet cloth, braved the flames and rushed towards the panicked Huo family. They were no longer afraid of the blazing fire, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

The soldiers of the Yang family army brandished their weapons and engaged in close combat with the Huo family.

Li Lian was even more brave and courageous. He led a team of elite soldiers of the Yang family and charged towards the side where the Huo family threw the fire pots. His long spear was like a dragon, knocking away many soldiers of the Huo family and gradually controlling the fire.

Mu Zheng watched the Yang Clan's soldiers so brave and fearless, his heart filled with relief and excitement: "Well done, brothers! The Huo Clan is in chaos, now is the perfect time to seize the opportunity and pursue them. We must defeat them in one fell swoop!"

The scene was in chaos.

Without the supply of fire pots, the Huo family's fire attack momentum was broken. Coupled with the fire in the rear and the chaos in the army's morale, they were completely unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Yang family army. They were quickly defeated and fled in all directions.

Finally broke another game!
