The enemy had top-tier commanders, while Zhou Yan had a large number of top-tier generals, commanders, and a top-tier strategist.
"Minister Zhang, I wish to take the initiative and plan a night raid on the enemy camp," Huo Qubing found Zhang Liang and expressed his thoughts.
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Do you believe that if you dare to attack them, you will absolutely not return?"
"Has the other side already guessed that we would do this?" Huo Qubing was somewhat surprised.
"Not only will the other side be prepared like this, but I will also be prepared. Do you think our opponents are ordinary enemies? Don't underestimate this opponent."
Zhang Liang was very confident about this. He transmitted the images from the reconnaissance drones to Huo Qubing. Upon seeing them, Huo Qubing was very surprised, "Why are there no images?"
"It is precisely because of this that I am certain they have prepared a countermeasure and are waiting for you to fall into their trap," Zhang Liang chuckled.
"Then are we going to do nothing?" Huo Qubing asked.
"Don't rush. After dinner, I will discuss the specific matters with you. Doing nothing is completely impossible, but a strict and reasonable plan must be formulated."
Zhang Liang pondered, naturally, he couldn't do nothing. With top-tier strategy, if he did nothing, wouldn't his position as minister be undeserved?
However, at this moment, an enemy envoy arrived, which greatly surprised Zhang Liang and the others.
"General Bai Qi, do you think we should see them?" Zhang Liang asked Bai Qi, who was beside him.
"It might not be a bad idea to see what the other side intends. However, since we have come all this way, no matter what they say, a battle is inevitable," Bai Qi replied.
"Then let's see what they want to do. However, before that, we can let them see something," Zhang Liang smiled and then looked at Huo Qubing.
"Minister, why are you looking at me?" Huo Qubing looked at Zhang Liang in confusion.
"Didn't you want to raid their camp? Here's a good opportunity, do you want to try it?" Zhang Liang said with a smile, looking at Huo Qubing.
When it came to strategy, Huo Qubing was naturally no match for Zhang Liang. After all, Huo Qubing was a commander, not a strategist.
Upon hearing that there was an opportunity to raid the camp, he immediately became interested and asked, "Minister Zhang, please tell me quickly, what is the plan?"
So, Zhang Liang whispered many words into Huo Qubing's ear. After listening, Huo Qubing was very confused and asked, "Minister Zhang, will this work?"
"How will you know if you don't try? Just do as I say," Zhang Liang said with great confidence.
"Alright then." Huo Qubing, with his doubts, still left.
Then Zhang Liang said to the soldiers, "Invite the envoy in."
After a while, several envoys who looked foreign arrived at the camp. Fortunately, both sides spoke the common language of the Lord Continent, so there was no need to worry about language barriers.
"We are from the Ryder family of the United States of America. Our lord said that this is our sphere of influence and told you to leave, otherwise, we will destroy your territory."
The other party spoke impolitely to Zhang Liang.
"Guard, take him out and execute him," Bai Qi said directly.
The envoy's eyes widened upon hearing this. He never expected that he would be executed after saying only one sentence. He quickly shouted, "You can't do this! Didn't your Shennong Kingdom say that warring nations do not execute envoys?"
"You said it's a war between nations. We are only a war between two territories, so of course, we can execute envoys," Zhang Liang replied upon hearing this.
"No, you can't do this!" The envoy panicked upon hearing that they were really going to kill him.
"Puff!"
Bai Qi directly eliminated the envoy and then said to Zhang Liang, "Are we attacking immediately?"
"Yes, they would never have imagined that we would attack while they were sending an envoy. We will catch them off guard," Zhang Liang said.
Zhang Liang's plan was like this: let the enemy mistakenly believe that their side was setting up camp, but in reality, the entire army was already prepared.
"Shouldn't Huo Qubing be okay? He's under a lot of pressure," Bai Qi was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Huo Qubing's cavalry is very fast. Besides, he's only pretending to launch a sneak attack, just going through the motions. Even if he's surrounded, he can still escape."
Zhang Liang was very confident in Huo Qubing. Among the entire army, only Huo Qubing was most suitable for this task.
Even if he were surrounded or died in the end, he would just be resurrected. At most, some soul coins would be lost, which should not be much for a lord.
Of course, death was only the worst-case scenario for Huo Qubing, and things might not reach that point.
"Alright, let's go!" Bai Qi had already assembled the army and set off. As for this place, Zhang Liang had already set up a 'concealment' skill. Even the enemy's white eagles would only see that there was no anomaly here.
Bai Qi and the others quietly approached a few kilometers away from the enemy and then waited for the battle to erupt ahead.
Through the images transmitted by the intelligent reconnaissance drones, they finally saw Huo Qubing begin his action.
Huo Qubing, leading five thousand [Great Han Iron Cavalry], charged headlong into the enemy camp, launching a fierce attack on the enemy.
"Kill!"
Huo Qubing's speed was extremely fast. After entering the enemy camp, he was like a pack of wolves entering a sheep pen, continuously slaughtering the enemy.
Although the enemy was not simple, they were of no use against the charging cavalry. One enemy after another fell under the cavalry's charge.
Huo Qubing quickly charged into the central area of the enemy camp. At this time, Huo Qubing should have retreated, but Huo Qubing was very clever. He knew that his retreat route was completely blocked.
Therefore, Huo Qubing continued to charge forward, constantly breaking through all enemies he encountered and destroying everything in his path.
This far exceeded Zhang Liang's expectations. Zhang Liang had not instructed Huo Qubing to do this, but Huo Qubing had his own ideas.
Since he had come here, he certainly didn't want to waste the opportunity, so this scene unfolded.
The enemy had also not anticipated that Huo Qubing's cavalry charge would be so powerful, capable of penetrating their interior and causing heavy losses, with countless soldiers killed by the cavalry charge.
"I really underestimated this Huo Qubing. I understand his intentions now. He never planned to retreat but intended to charge straight through. This way, any ambushes in the rear will be rendered useless."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, as a top strategist, he could naturally predict the impact of Huo Qubing's actions and make reasonable adjustments to the plan.
