into the night.

On the front lines of Huaixi, the battle cries were deafening!

In the darkness, countless Western Army soldiers were closing in. They were well-equipped and fought bravely. Under the cover of night, they routed the Huaixi Army!

"laugh!"

Du Xue, mounted on his warhorse and covered in blood, held a long spear that had just taken the life of another Western soldier.

However, in such a situation where they are ambushed and their side is at a serious disadvantage, even if Du Xue's personal martial arts skills are superb, his role is limited.

"What exactly is going on? Didn't Liu Fa retreat fifty miles? Why did he suddenly come back? And why does it seem like the Western Army has more troops?"

Du Xue became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; he felt as if he and his men had fallen into a trap!

Liu Fa's sudden retreat followed by a sudden attack—it was all a setup! He was deliberately trying to lull himself into a false sense of security!

What's even more terrifying is that tonight Liu Fa seems to have obtained all the maps of the Chu army in Huaixi. During the night raid, he went straight to the Chu army's grain storage area and set it on fire!

Some Western soldiers disguised themselves as Chu army cooks and went in and out of various command tents, poisoning people.

If Du Xue hadn't been so vigilant, he almost would have fallen for it too!

How did these people know the distribution of military tents and food supplies?

Could it be that there is a traitor among the Chu army in Huaixi?

"Big brother! I've rescued the strategist!"

Feng Tai's voice rang out, his double maces stained with blood, followed by Liu Min, one of the strategists of Huaixi.

"Zhibo, are you alright?"

Du Xue looked at Liu Min.

"I'm fine!"

Liu Min's clothes were somewhat disheveled, and she looked rather embarrassed, but she didn't seem to have been hurt.

"Boss Du, break out of here quickly! I suspect there's a traitor in our army. These Western soldiers are like they have eyes; we have nowhere to hide!"

Liu Min couldn't understand how the Western Army managed to carry out such a precise strike!

"Brother! Brother! The granary couldn't be defended, it's all burned down!"

Wei He was covered in soot and fire marks. He was in charge of the security of the army's granary, but who would have thought that the Western Army would use fire to attack directly?

Wei He couldn't stop the Western Army, nor could he put out the fire!

"Damn it! Who betrayed us?!"

Du Xue was furious, his teeth were practically grinding to powder!

This wasn't the first time he had fought against the Western Army, but it was the first time he had been completely helpless and forced to passively take a beating like this!

"Never mind all that, let's break through towards Fangshan first! I've already sent someone with urgent news, the King should send someone to pick us up!"

Liu Min said, "Let's go back first, and we'll talk about it when we get back!"

"it is good!"

Du Xue agreed, and he rallied his remaining troops to try and break through the encirclement!

But what he didn't expect was that the Western Army seemed to have anticipated their attempt to rush back, and had actually laid a heavy ambush in the direction they were heading!

Moreover, the leader was one of Liu Fa's two generals—Zhai Jin, a fierce general from Xihe, who fought Zhu Dingguo to the bitter end.

These two fierce men were no less skilled than Feng Tai, and with the powerful bows and crossbows of the Western Army, Du Xue and his men charged several times, but were all directly blocked!

"Brother, we can't break through!"

Wei He was hit by an arrow in the arm. Although it wasn't a serious injury, he was still in a sorry state.

"Liu Fa is determined not to let us out!"

Seeing this, Liu Min understood the Western Army's plan.

"He's trying to wipe us out!"

How did he manage to block all escape routes?

Du Xue was completely baffled.

"It seems that not only our army is in trouble, but the King must be in trouble as well."

Liu Min thought quickly. This level of raid on the camp would be impossible to accomplish without a very thorough understanding of the intelligence!

After all, not everyone is like that guy with 100,000 kills who just feeds to the enemy, and not everyone can raid a camp with a hundred riders.

"Boss Du, we've probably been betrayed!"

"what?"

Du Xue was incredulous. He was fighting desperately in front of others, and someone actually wanted to stab him in the back!

“During this period, the Duan family and the King are fighting over the division of the family. Those of us who are neutral will naturally be abandoned by them. No matter which side they are on, they may use us in exchange for a better future!”

Liu Min, as expected of Huai Xi's strategist, quickly figured out most of the details.

But he couldn't have guessed that the person who did this was none other than Wang Qing himself!

He thought someone had done it behind Wang Qing's back!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The powerful crossbows of the Western Army once again repelled the charge of Du Xue and his men. The Huaixi Chu Army was not as well-equipped as the Western Army and struggled against the strong crossbows.

"Capture Du Xue alive! Capture Du Xue alive!"

On the Western Army's side, a deafening roar erupted!

"Brother! This road is blocked! You should take another one!"

Wei He rushed back, this time with several more arrows in his body.

"Second brother! Go and bandage him quickly!"

Seeing his second brother's injuries, Du Xue felt as if his heart was being torn apart!

"It's too late! Brother, you take Military Advisor Liu and retreat immediately! I'll cover the rear!"

Wei He didn't even bother to remove the arrow from his body, and simply told Du Xue to leave!

"Second brother, you..."

Looking at Wei He's eyes under the sparks, Du Xue suddenly had a bad feeling!

"Big Brother! You are the soul of our Mulan Mountain! With you here, Mulan Mountain will exist! You are also the leader of the Huaixi Lions! With you here, the Huaixi Lions will never fall apart!"

"I, Wei He, am blessed to be sworn brothers with you in this life! My skills are average, but if I can help you fight your way out, I will die without regret!"

Wei He smiled, a very frank smile.

"Second brother, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to be born in the same year and month..."

Feng Tai was also greatly surprised. When the three heroes of Mulan swore their brotherhood, they had also made an oath!

"Third brother! You are highly skilled in martial arts, and you are the most suitable to assist your elder brother! We can't go back to Huaixi now, so help your elder brother break through to the east!"

"Tian Hu and Fang La are both too busy to take care of themselves right now, but Liangshan in Shandong has been unusually quiet lately, it's safe there! Big brother, third brother, you two break through to Liangshan!"

"Liangshan has a very good reputation in the martial arts world, and I think Chief Ren will definitely protect you!"

As Wei He spoke, he took Du Xue's helmet off and put it on his own head! He put his own helmet on Du Xue!

"Second brother! What are you doing!"

Du Xue was greatly alarmed.

"Brother! I'll still be your brother in the next life!"

Wei He smiled, a very happy smile.

"Liu Fa is trying to catch Big Brother now, right? Then I'll let him catch me instead! It just so happens that Big Brother and I are similar in size!"

"Second brother! You can't!"

Du Xue quickly grabbed Wei He.

"Brother, I've already taken several arrows. I can't escape now. If I can use my crippled body to help you break through, it's worth it!"

Wei He looked at Du Xue and Feng Tai, and smiled again:

"Third brother, you must assist your elder brother well from now on, especially you must control your temper and not let your elder brother worry!"

"Second brother, you and eldest brother go, I'll stay! I'm skilled in martial arts, I can hold out a little longer!"

Feng Tai also held Wei He's hand.

"Are you stupid?! It's precisely because your martial arts skills are superior to mine that you should be rushing out with your elder brother!"

Just as the three brothers were arguing, the shouts of killing around them grew even louder!

The Western Army's slogan of "Capture Du Xue alive" made everyone hear it even more clearly!

Wei He's expression changed. He broke free from their hands, drew the dagger from his waist, and held it to his neck.

"Big brother! Third brother! Let's go! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

"If you don't leave, I'll die right here in front of you!"

Seeing Wei He's determination, Liu Min was deeply moved.

"Brother Du, let's go. Don't let General Wei's good intentions go to waste."

"cocoa……"

"Boss Du, the person is still here, everything is still here, let's go!"

At this moment, Liu Min also demonstrated the decisiveness of a strategist. Du Xue stared at Liu Min for a long time, listening to the increasingly close shouts of battle around him, and seeing Wei He's anxious expression, he finally made up his mind!

"Take care, Second Brother! Third Brother! Let's go!"

Although Feng Tai wanted to say something, seeing his eldest brother's expression, he could only hug his second brother tightly and then leave with his eldest brother!

"Second brother! Don't die!"

These were Feng Tai's last words to his second brother.

"Cough, cough, I wasn't killed by the arrow, but I'll be killed by your embrace!"

As Wei He watched his brothers walk away, he felt much more relaxed and even had time to complain about Feng Tai.

Then, he led the remaining men, turned their horses around, and decisively met the enemy!

"You little brats from the Western Army! Du Xue is here!!"
