With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Although the short and fat general was brave, he was ultimately no match for Zhang Xun.

A few rounds down.

He was already out of breath and had several wounds on his body.

"you you…"

The short and fat general pointed at Zhang Xun, his eyes full of resentment.

Zhang Xun ignored him, shook the spear in his hand, and stabbed it straight into the throat of the short and fat general.

"Puff!" blood splattered.

The short and fat general opened his eyes wide and slowly fell down.

"The general is dead!"

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of Beixiang State immediately lost their morale and fled in all directions, abandoning their armor and weapons.

Zhang Xun did not order a pursuit.

He knew that his mission was to hold back the short and fat general's army, not to annihilate them.

Now, his mission is accomplished.

On the battlefield filled with smoke, the smell of blood mixed with the stench of horse sweat.

Zhang Xun wiped the blood off his face, showing his white teeth, and said to the deputy general beside him:

"Clean up the battlefield! Don't leave a single penny behind! Clean it all up!"

"These people are incredibly wealthy. Let's plunder their wealth and use it to enrich our Shannan Prefecture's treasury!"

The deputy general grinned and said with a salutation:

"Don't worry, General. The brothers have been eyeing them for a long time. We promise to even take their pants off!"

After that, the cavalrymen dispersed and began to plunder the spoils on the battlefield.

Swords, armor, horses, and even the silver coins of the soldiers of Beixiang State were all looted.

Zhang Xun looked at the busy soldiers and thought about the gains of this battle.

This battle was fought beautifully, not only completely defeating the short and fat general's troops.

They also seized a large amount of supplies, enough for their cavalry battalion to use for a period of time.

He hummed a little tune and was in a very happy mood.

After dealing with the battlefield, Zhang Xun immediately sent someone to deliver the victory report to Jianmen Pass.

The messenger galloped all the way and soon delivered the message to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Good boy, Zhang Xun is really good!"

Afterwards, Lu Yan wrote a reply to Zhang Xun, praising his outstanding performance.

He was also instructed to remain vigilant to prevent a counterattack by the remaining forces of Beixiang State.

At the same time, Lu Yan secretly dispatched Night Owl.

He led the special forces to the rear of Beixiang State, preparing to raid their food and supplies.

After receiving the order, Night Owl immediately summoned the special forces and prepared to set off.

The soldiers under his command are all carefully selected elites.

Each of them is very skilled and proficient in various assassination and surprise attack tactics.

"Brothers, this mission is very important. It is related to the victory or failure of our army."

"Everyone, pay attention!"

Night Owl said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the special forces soldiers responded in unison.

They have long been eager to achieve success, and this mission is a good opportunity for them to demonstrate their strength.

As night fell, the special forces quietly left Jianmen Pass.

Sneaking towards the rear of Beixiang State.

They wore night clothes and moved quickly and stealthily, moving through the night like ghosts.

The grain and supplies of Beixiang State were located in a valley and were heavily guarded.

Night Owl led the special forces to the vicinity of the valley and carefully observed the enemy's deployment.

"Damn, these barbarians from Beixiang Kingdom are quite alert."

Night Owl cursed under his breath.

"Captain, how do we get in?"

a soldier asked.

Night Owl pondered for a moment, then pointed to the cliffs on one side of the valley and said:

"Climb up from there and raid from above!"

"Captain, that cliff is so high and steep, how can we climb it?"

Another soldier questioned.

Night Owl glared at him and snorted coldly:

"Why didn't I see you being so cowardly when I was training you? If you're afraid of death, go back!"

The soldiers were intimidated by Night Owl's momentum and dared not say anything more.

"Captain, we'll follow you!"

A soldier stood up and said.

"Good!" Night Owl looked at him appreciatively.

"Everyone else follow, be careful!"

After that, Night Owl took the lead in climbing the cliff.

Special forces soldiers followed closely behind.

Each one of them climbed on the steep rock wall like a gecko.

It was late at night and the valley was silent.

The soldiers of Beixiang State were fast asleep, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Night Owl led the special forces to successfully climb the cliff and then sneaked into the valley.

They moved through the darkness like ghosts and soon approached the food and supplies of Beixiang State.

"Ready for action!"

Night Owl whispered an order.

The special forces soldiers drew their weapons and prepared to attack.

Night Owl took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and finally confirmed:

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

"Goal—burn all the food and supplies, leaving no one behind!"

The special forces soldiers nodded one after another, holding the kerosene cans tightly in their hands, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

They have long been accustomed to this kind of excitement lurking in the darkness, and at this moment they are full of fighting spirit.

Night Owl gave an order:

"action!"

The special forces soldiers dispersed quickly like arrows and ran towards the food and supplies.

They moved swiftly and silently, like ghosts in the night, quickly approaching their target.

The dry food and fodder piled up like a mountain, looking particularly huge in the night.

The special forces soldiers followed pre-planned positions.

He threw the kerosene can in his hand onto the food and grass.

"boom!"

The kerosene tank broke, splattered kerosene, and instantly ignited the dry food and grass.

The raging fire spread rapidly like a hungry beast, devouring everything around it.

The flames that shot up into the sky illuminated the entire valley and also awakened the sleeping Beixiang Kingdom defenders.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The terrified shouts broke the silence of the valley.

The defenders of Beixiang State rushed out of the tents in panic, their clothes in disarray and their weapons scattered.

Faced with this sudden attack, they seemed at a loss and were in chaos.

Night Owl watched all this coldly, with a sneer on his face.

He drew the sword from his waist and shouted loudly:

"kill!"

The special forces soldiers rushed down the mountain like tigers, brandishing their weapons.

Rushed towards the panicked Beixiang defenders.

They were well-trained and coordinated well. In the firelight, they were like the god of death, reaping the lives of the enemy.

The valley was filled with deafening shouts and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half the sky red.

Although the Beixiang State's defenders were large in number, they were completely at a disadvantage facing the Shannan Prefecture's special forces.

They were divided and surrounded, and gradually compressed into a small area.

A captain of the Beixiang State garrison waved his long sword and tried to organize his soldiers to fight back.

However, before he could give the order, he was hacked to the ground by a special forces soldier.

"Brothers, follow me out!"

A Beixiang soldier shouted desperately, trying to lead his companions to break through.

However, before they could run a few steps, they were shot to the ground by a dense rain of arrows.
