Sun Wu then discovered that the enemy had stopped moving, likely to rest and regroup, or perhaps fearing further traps ahead.
Sun Wu could never have imagined that the Dragon family's commander had been so infuriated he fainted.
The reconnaissance aircraft dared not get too close, as the enemy had many strong individuals who could easily detect them.
There was no opportunity to use traps for the rest of the path, so Sun Wu decided to quickly retreat into the forest and set up various traps in advance to await the enemy.
As Sun Wu retreated, Dong Xiuxian also fainted from anger.
It was at this moment that Wei Qing emerged from the hidden forest. They had also donned enemy armor and raised the Dragon family's banner, brazenly heading towards the enemy's rear.
Qin Qiong was greatly concerned and asked, "Wei Qing, will we be able to fool them by going this way?"
Wei Qing was very confident and replied, "You wouldn't understand. Although the enemy has an army of over two million, their soldiers are not all from the same territory."
"With so many different types of soldiers, how would they possibly recognize us? The equipment we are wearing is from the enemy, and we've replaced our mounts with ordinary warhorses. Holding their banner, they will surely not know we are disguised."
However, Qin Qiong was still a little worried and asked, "Are we not planning to launch a frontal attack on the enemy this time?"
Wei Qing smiled and said, "Our total soldiers are only a little over thirty thousand, while the enemy has a million infantry. Do you think if we charged in to kill them, we could inflict many casualties?"
Qin Qiong nodded and replied, "Even if we were allowed to kill freely, we could probably only cause a loss of one hundred thousand. Moreover, with such a large number of enemies, if we were surrounded, we would suffer heavy losses."
"This is also why I'm disguised as one of them. I've already thought it through. We can't go too fast or too slow; we must enter their camp at dusk," Wei Qing stated.
"Tell me your specific plan quickly." Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong knew Wei Qing already had a good plan.
Wei Qing then revealed his plan to Qin Qiong, which shocked him. He hadn't expected Wei Qing to have such an ambitious goal of crippling this army of a million infantry!
Thirty thousand against a million!
The disparity was truly immense.
However, Qin Qiong felt that although Wei Qing's method was risky, if successful, it would be their joint rise to fame.
"Alright, let's proceed according to your plan!" Qin Qiong agreed quickly after listening.
Time passed. Under Wei Qing and the others' deliberate marching pace, they finally approached the enemy camp before dusk.
Qin Qiong was still very worried, expecting them to be questioned.
But to his disbelief, upon seeing them, the enemy actually opened the camp gate and allowed them to enter the military camp.
Qin Qiong was stunned!
Wei Qing also hadn't expected it to be so smooth.
"This is too smooth." Although surprised, the two remained composed and entered the camp.
The enemy had just finished setting up their tents and were lighting fires to cook.
Their armies did not have the conveniences of Zhou Yan's territory; they still needed to cook meals temporarily.
The enemy, seeing Wei Qing and the others in Dragon family equipment and carrying their banner, did not pay them much attention, assuming they were soldiers from some territory.
It was precisely because so many people thought this way that Wei Qing safely entered the enemy's camp.
Then, Wei Qing began to instruct his subordinates.
The soldiers started to disperse throughout the million-strong army camp, carrying out Wei Qing's orders.
Wei Qing went to a place where the enemy was cooking and said, "When will the food be ready? I'm starving."
"Brother, don't rush. We're cooking it now. It should be ready in about an hour," the cook replied.
"Where is the water? I'm a bit thirsty," Wei Qing asked.
"It's in those vats," the cook pointed.
Wei Qing looked and indeed saw rows of water vats. He smiled, walked over, took out a bottle of potion, and poured a few drops into each vat.
These were not poisons, but rather potent sleeping agents with a long onset time, taking at least five hours to take effect.
The potion was very strong, colorless, and odorless. Just a few drops could induce a day-long slumber.
Wei Qing dropped the potion into every water vat and then moved on to the next enemy tent, using the same method to add the potion to all the food supplies in the entire camp.
In some places, Wei Qing's soldiers even added the potion multiple times.
Of course, not everything went smoothly; a few of them were almost discovered. However, in such situations, they had been instructed by Wei Qing to immediately grab a ladle of water and drink it, exclaiming how thirsty they were.
After successfully passing, they would take the antidote.
While it couldn't be guaranteed that everyone would be poisoned, Wei Qing had planned for more than just this.
He had his men bring out timed incendiary devices and various powerful bombs, hiding them in concealed locations within the tents, all set to detonate at midnight.
The camp of a million soldiers was vast, with many tents and a large number of people, making the distribution area extensive. Fortunately, they had many men, and the devices were small.
For all this, the thirty-odd thousand men worked for several hours before completing all the tasks.
They began to gather at the designated location and waited for the time to come.
As night deepened, everyone fell into a deep sleep, with the vast majority sleeping soundly.
Wei Qing and the others had already moved far away from the enemy camp, regrouped, put on their armor and equipment, and waited for the appointed time.
Time ticked by.
10 PM, 11 PM, 12 AM, finally arrived.
Instantly!
"Boom! Boom!"
The million-strong army camp erupted with countless flashes of fire, raising a cloud of energy. The entire camp was engulfed in flames, completely overwhelmed by the energy.
The million enemy soldiers vanished in their sleep. Ninety percent of them died without ever knowing they had perished, as they all died in their dreams.
Only a few individuals did not succumb to the poison, but they could not escape the engulfing energy and were also lost in the flames.
Wei Qing ordered his men to spread out and pursue any fleeing soldiers, intending to inflict the maximum possible destruction on these enemies.
However, they soon discovered that only a handful had escaped. Wei Qing and Qin Qiong, with their force of just over thirty thousand, had annihilated the enemy's army of a million.
And they suffered no casualties themselves.
This was destined to be Wei Qing's legendary victory.
