The Chu army that invaded Qin was not large, numbering only tens of thousands.
Now, after being slaughtered by Lin Tian's men, few remained.
Therefore, when Lin Tian led his men to charge out, they could not resist.
Almost like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, this Chu army was annihilated by Lin Tian.
Many Chu soldiers roared, wanting to flee and spread the news.
But the surroundings were already completely sealed off; they had no chance to escape with the news.
In the end, they could only die in despair under the swords of Lin Tian and his men.
After finishing off these men, Lin Tian did not stop his actions. On the contrary, he immediately ordered his subordinates to collect the corpses.
"Go, strip their clothes, and have our soldiers change into them!"
"Also, have their old noble attire stripped and put on our soldiers!"
"We need to disguise ourselves as quickly as possible and then infiltrate the Chu army to defeat them!!"
"Yes!!"
Hearing Lin Tian's plan, all the soldiers were invigorated.
They never expected Lin Tian to be so audacious, planning to disguise themselves as Chu soldiers and old nobles from the three kingdoms to infiltrate Chu.
If such a plan failed, they would likely face the encirclement of the entire Chu army.
In fact, they might even be trapped deep within Chu and die there.
But they had to admit that Lin Tian's plan was extremely meticulous.
Who would have thought that someone would disguise themselves as Chu troops and enter Chu at this time?
To make their disguises more convincing, Lin Tian even had many soldiers cross-dress, letting down their hair, styling it like women's hair, and wearing women's clothing.
From a distance, it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity of such women's attire.
Afterward, Lin Tian had his men put the long swords into chests, disguised as chests filled with treasures.
With such a disguise, no one could see through it.
Especially at this moment, Lin Tian ordered his subordinates to raise Chu flags.
This made them look even more like a Chu army.
However, to avoid misunderstanding from Wang Jian's army, he sent several people to inform Wang Jian during the disguise, letting him know that the disguise was complete.
It was believed that this news would reduce many unnecessary friendly fire incidents.
Then, he led the army at a leisurely pace towards the border.
Since there were disguised elderly men and women in the army, their marching speed was slow, which was perfectly normal.
Many civilians within Qin saw them and deliberately avoided them from afar.
In the eyes of these civilians, Lin Tian's army was the Chu army.
Therefore, they wanted to stay far away to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves.
Some warm-hearted individuals even chose to go and report the news.
On the other side, when Wang Jian learned that Lin Tian had finished his disguise, he couldn't help but marvel at Lin Tian's ingenious plan.
Then, he reiterated to the soldiers in his army:
"If the Chu army attacks later, let them cross the border directly!"
"Let them cross the border directly? How can that be done? If the ministers in the court knew about this, they would surely consider us traitors, and someone would impeach the general!"
"I have my own plans for this matter. Those Chu soldiers will be dealt with. Our task is to lead our army to surround the main force of the Chu army!!"
Wang Jian's words carried considerable weight.
He had been a general for many years, and the soldiers in the army trusted him implicitly.
Therefore, although the order seemed inexplicable, the soldiers still carried it out.
And when Lin Tian's army truly appeared at the Qin border, the Chu people were even more excited than Wang Jian and his men.
"They're here, they're here! Our army is back!!"
"I knew it, I knew our army would succeed! They not only brought back those old nobles but also brought back a large number of chests filled with treasures!!"
"Hahaha! This time we have made a great contribution! We have secured a vast fortune for our Chu nation! Soldiers, brace yourselves, launch a fierce attack, and escort our army!"
Since their army had appeared at the border, they naturally had to send an army to meet them.
Xiang Yan did not find any problem with this order.
However, under their fierce attack, Wang Jian's army actually retreated from the border line they were defending and led their army to charge at them.
Xiang Yan was somewhat confused by this maneuver.
"What does Wang Jian mean by this? Does he know he can't defend and wants to take me down first?"
"Judging by his actions, it seems so!"
"Hahaha! That's truly interesting! Give the order, prepare to fight Wang Jian's army. I'd like to see if his army is truly as powerful as rumored!!"
With Wang Jian's army charging, Xiang Yan naturally would not shy away from battle.
Not to mention, their army had already returned, they had received the old nobles, and obtained the wealth they desired, so they had nothing to fear.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Yan could indeed fight Wang Jian.
He also wanted to know if Wang Jian was as powerful as in the legends.
If they could decisively defeat Wang Jian's army, allow the Chu army to gain prestige, and make Qin lose even more face, that would be even better.
With such thoughts, Xiang Yan did not bother with the army that was supposed to meet them.
Instead, he led another part of the army and directly engaged Wang Jian's army in a fierce battle.
The army responsible for the reception also rapidly moved towards Lin Tian and his men.
However, when they actually arrived in front of Lin Tian and his men, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
They did not recognize any of these soldiers holding their Chu flags.
The leader was not their familiar General Li, but a general who looked incredibly young.
He was very young and very unfamiliar.
"Who are you? Where is General Li Hu?"
At this moment, the Chu soldiers had not yet realized the gravity of the situation, so although they were asking, their expressions were very relaxed.
Lin Tian, who was being questioned, was also very calm.
"Are you looking for General Li Hu?"
"Yes, where is General Li Hu? Quickly have him come out, so we can go see the Grand General together!"
"Him? He probably can't come out. You'll have to go find him!"
With that, Lin Tian lightly drew his sword, and the general who appeared before him had his throat slit directly by Lin Tian.
"He has gone to the underworld. You can join him now!"
Lin Tian's action stunned the Chu soldiers who had come to meet them.
They were somewhat confused as to why Lin Tian, as a 'Chu army' soldier, would suddenly attack their own people.
But the 'Chu army' behind Lin Tian understood Lin Tian's intention perfectly and instantly launched a ferocious assault on the Chu army before them.
