Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

In a dark secret passage, the faint torch illuminated the wet walls with sticky water droplets still hanging on them.

Han Ye carried the unconscious Xiao Cui. His face was pale, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his body looked very weak, with heavy breathing with every step.

Perhaps because he was still drunk, Xiao Cui slipped off his shoulders several times, and he stumbled and carried her back on his shoulders.

"Bastard! It's actually that bastard Gao Fei!!" Han Ye roared.

Han Ye's assassins had already woken him up and told him everything. The moment he woke up, he jumped out of the window and went downstairs. Xiao Cui happened to bump into him and knocked him unconscious. He could be used as a hostage as a last resort.

This secret passage leads to the limestone kiln outside the water defense camp, where Han Ye’s private soldiers are stationed, so it is temporarily safe.

……

At this time, a big fire had been started in the attic of the inner camp. The big bell was burning red, and the thick rope hanging the bell was also burned off. The bell fell directly from the third floor to the first floor due to the influence of gravity. The two heavy armored soldiers failed to dodge in time and were directly crushed.

The red-hot bell set the floor on fire again.

……

Outer camp.

Beta banged the gong and shouted, "Brothers from Yunzhou! Mount your horses and follow me into the camp to meet Lord Gao!"

The cavalry rushed out of the tents and mounted their horses, and the archers were ready to go.

A flag officer from the water defense battalion rushed out of the tent, cursing, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? You rabble-rousers, you think you can cause trouble?"

Beta pointed his knife at the flag officer and said, "I am Qi Beta, the general flag officer under Captain Gao Fei of the Yunzhou Garrison Battalion. I have been ordered by the general to help Young Master Zhang investigate Han Ye. If you want to stop me, you can come forward and fight me to the death."

The flag officer drew a scimitar from his waist and slashed at Beta, shouting, "You little brat, you're talking nonsense! Kill him!"

Beta stared at the scimitar in the flag officer's hand. This was a saber made by the Rong people based on the improved scimitar of the Northern Desert Cavalry.

"What a beautiful sword!" Beta couldn't help but praise:

The cavalry of the Northern Desert often traveled long distances, so they needed a weapon that was light, sharp, and easy to handle. The scimitar met these requirements perfectly. The scimitar's curvature allowed it to better adapt to the horse's movement, while also increasing its lethality.

The method of using a scimitar is also very simple. Just hold the knife flat in your hand with the blade facing forward, and use the speed of the horse to push and chop towards the enemy's body.

This way, the scimitar can inflict severe cuts without requiring a heavy chop, and after slicing through the enemy's body, it will slide away naturally without getting stuck or being pulled away.

A normal Beimo scimitar is only about seven or eight inches long, with a wide and curved blade. However, the Rong people improved it by lengthening the blade, shortening the blade width, and slightly reducing the curvature. The front half of the blade is straight, and the tip is curved.

This improvement not only retains the advantages of the scimitar, but also allows it to stab the enemy like a Central Plains knife. Thus, this "stitched monster" became the "Rong tribe saber."

While Beta was admiring it, the flag officer rushed over.

"Death!"

Beta held the knife in one hand and raised it up to block the attack, and with the other hand he slashed at the flag officer's face, causing the officer to see stars.

The flag officer was furious and rushed towards Beta with his saber. Beta dodged and the saber passed through his armpit. He then quickly clamped it and punched him again. This time, blood splattered from the flag officer's nose.

While the flag officer was covering his nose and screaming in pain, Beta quickly plunged the knife in his hand into the ground, then rushed forward like an arrow.

His movements were as fast as lightning, leaving people around him no time to react.

In the blink of an eye, Beta had arrived in front of the flag officer, stretched out one hand and tightly grasped the flag officer's neck, and with the other hand, he tightly grabbed the wrist of the flag officer holding the knife.

The flag officer was startled by the sudden attack and wanted to resist, but Beta was much stronger than him, making it impossible for him to break free. He felt pain in his hand and his saber fell to the ground.

"Brothers of the Water Defense Battalion, don't be afraid. We are only going to capture Han Ye and his followers. Please don't try to stop us. This will be the fate of those who try to stop us."

After saying that, Beta grabbed the saber and stabbed it through the officer's chest. The flag officer struggled for a moment and then became motionless!

The other water defense camp soldiers were all shocked when they saw this scene. They didn't expect Beta to be so ferocious, and for a moment no one dared to step forward.

At this moment, several soldiers quietly retreated, preparing to flee the scene. Beta was secretly delighted, knowing that he had the situation under control.

He turned to look at the Yunzhou soldiers behind him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, charge!"

The Yunzhou soldiers responded and rushed towards the central camp.

But in the central camp, Biao Heizi and his men were not optimistic.

The armored guards in the Central Camp were all Han Ye's adopted sons and nephews, and upon hearing of the mutiny in the camp, they fought fiercely. Although Biao Heizi and his men also had armored guards, most of them were a motley crowd, and after a few deaths, they wanted to flee, or even defect!

"Brothers, we may die here today, but even if we die, we must take a few more people with us. My eldest brother's life or death in there is uncertain. If anything happens, I won't care about him anymore. Let's kill him quickly!"

Biao Heizi seemed to be giving his last words, and the brothers behind him understood tacitly, raised their weapons, and shouted loudly!

Their numbers were dwindling. There were more than a hundred armored guards, but now there were only a few left. Just as they were gradually being surrounded and killed, they found that arrows had penetrated the armored guards' plate armor!

"Captain Biao, we are here to help you!" A shout came from a distance.

When Biao Heizi heard the voice, he was immediately delighted. He widened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a group of soldiers standing at the camp gate, drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the guards in the middle camp.

These soldiers all had solemn expressions and fired in unison as ordered, obviously well-trained.

A large number of cavalry poured out of the camp gate.

Biao Heizi excitedly shouted to the brothers around him: "It's the people from Yunzhou, we've made up for it! Brothers!" His voice was full of joy and excitement.

The camp gate has been controlled by Yunzhou archers, and the arrows they use are conical-headed arrows that can break chain mail. Although they cannot break the exaggerated three layers of heavy armor, they can still break the chain mail at a distance of less than 100 steps.

The brothers also raised their heads, with hope shining in their eyes.

The arrival of this batch of reinforcements boosted their morale, as they were originally at a disadvantage. The armored guards who had defected turned their attention to the original guards in the central camp.

As Yunzhou's troops joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse.

The originally aggressive guards of the Central Camp were thrown into disarray by the sudden appearance of reinforcements and fell into chaos.

The entire camp was filled with shouts of killing and the flashes of swords and sabers intertwined. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, but thanks to the timely arrival of reinforcements, Biao Heizi and his men gradually gained the upper hand.

"Save arrows and charge lightly!"

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning illuminated a tall horse, which raised its front hooves and neighed towards the sky.

This was a great deterrent to the enemy. They had never been on a real battlefield, and the biggest battle they had fought was to suppress the overwhelmed civilians.

Beta held his saber high and charged straight at the enemy with the Beimo Saber Wing Cavalry Formation, leading the cavalry to destroy all the armed forces in the central camp at the fastest speed.

Those officers were tied up, but Biao Heizi was not satisfied, so he found an iron chain as thick as his wrist and tied the group of people together.

His mouth was stuffed tightly with a smelly towel!
