After the [Great Han Iron Cavalry] attacked the enemy with mounted archery, the enemy also immediately retaliated with arrows against the soldiers under Huo Qubing.
However!
The enemy was stunned when they realized their arrows were no longer within range.
"Why are the enemy's arrows so powerful?" was the enemy's thought.
The Zhou Yan territory possessed numerous buildings that enhanced soldier skills, so the arrow range was naturally within the scope of these buffs.
Although the enemy's territory buildings also provided range bonuses for their soldiers' arrows, it was definitely not as significant as the range increase from Zhou Yan's territory.
Coupled with the fact that Huo Qubing's mounts were no ordinary warhorses, if the enemy wanted to pursue Huo Qubing, they first had to be able to catch up!
However, as Huo Qubing saw the enemy approaching in the air, he said, "Accelerate and shake them off!"
"Yes!" The soldiers increased their speed, widening the distance between themselves and the enemy.
Just as Huo Qubing attracted a considerable amount of the enemy's attention, Zhang Liang finally led his soldiers to launch a full-scale assault on the enemy's camp.
The cover of night also greatly concealed Zhang Liang's group's movements.
Especially for Chen Qingzhi's [White Robe Ghost Army] and Qin Guang Wang's genuine [Underworld Ghost Soldiers], fighting at night was like their main battlefield.
Zhang Liang ordered Chen Qingzhi and Qin Guang Wang to each lead their subordinate soldiers to attack the enemy from two different directions.
After Huo Qubing's previous surprise raid, the enemy had thought that the opposing side would not launch another sneak attack. They had no idea that Zhang Liang's current ambush was the real surprise.
The enemy's marshal, at this moment, still believed that the enemy had only dispatched small units for harassment, and the intelligence from the white eagles indicated that the enemy's camp was normal.
Therefore, the various generals were summoned to discuss tomorrow's battle. They also believed their envoy was still negotiating in the enemy camp and had no idea that their envoy had been beheaded by Zhang Liang at the first opportunity.
The enemy's temporary commander was a Has of RRR quality. Although his personal strength was not outstanding, he was an excellent commander, otherwise, other lords would not have entrusted their soldiers to his command.
"Marshal Has, I believe we should also attack the enemy's camp. Their cavalry harassment has caused us significant casualties. I think we should teach them a lesson."
A general voiced his opinion, which was seconded by many other generals.
"My soldiers are fully capable of night raids. I believe night is an excellent opportunity, and we should strike in the dead of night when the enemy is fast asleep."
"We should not only attack their camp but also burn it all down."
Each general was expressing their views, while Has remained silent. Then he said, "Since everyone agrees on a night raid, we should set a strict time and also consider that the enemy might be prepared for a night attack."
"Marshal, I am willing to be the vanguard for this operation. I, Sai Qi Ge Le, will surely achieve a surprise victory."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report. An ill-tempered general quickly grabbed the soldier and said, "We are discussing important matters. If you cannot provide a reasonable explanation, I will send you to meet your maker."
The soldier quickly replied, "Generals, great trouble has befallen us! The enemy has attacked! Several of our locations have been hit!"
Upon hearing this, the generals were all dumbfounded and said, "How is this possible? Didn't the enemy just attack us? We've already sent many people to pursue them. How could the enemy attack again?"
"Haven't the enemy's camps remained in their original positions? Are your white eagles and night eagles blind, failing to grasp such crucial intelligence?"
Has was the first to react and said, "The enemy is truly cunning. They must have sent all their forces out now. Damn it, we've been deceived!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry back and gather our troops to fight our way out! We have two hundred thousand troops. In a head-on confrontation, the enemy will surely not be our match."
Has also nodded and said, "Yes, our priority now is to quickly gather our troops to counter the enemy. We must be fast!"
After speaking, the generals quickly left to gather their troops to resist the enemy.
They never imagined that while they were planning how to sneak attack others, they themselves would be preempted by an attack.
Crucially, more than half of their cavalry corps had already been dispatched to pursue the enemy, and even their flying corps had been sent to hunt them down.
Among Zhang Liang's soldiers, besides the [Great Han Iron Cavalry], there were many other cavalry units.
The first to move was Chen Qingzhi's [White Robe Ghost Army]. This army, elusive and stealthy under the cover of night, directly approached the enemy's camp and launched a fierce charge.
It was only after Chen Qingzhi's army began their assault that the enemy realized they were under attack. They were all preparing to eat. Who would have thought they would be attacked at this moment?
The enemy hurriedly began to find weapons to retaliate, but it was too late. Chen Qingzhi gave these enemies no quarter.
"Fire arrows, burn!"
As Chen Qingzhi charged in, he ordered his soldiers to mount their steeds and fire flaming arrows, setting fire to the enemy's camp.
Instantly, the enemy's camp was engulfed in flames, resulting in countless casualties. Many enemies were burned alive.
This was the battlefield, a harsh battlefield, where it was either you die or I live.
Chen Qingzhi pushed forward, heading towards the heart of the enemy.
In another location, Qin Guang Wang led the [Underworld Ghost Soldiers]. These pale-faced, bloodless soldiers moved like phantoms.
First, a dense fog spread into the enemy's camp, which the enemy found very strange. This was the dense fog skill released by a group of water ghosts. Within this fog, countless ghost soldiers were hidden.
Among them were many famished ghosts, hanged ghosts, red-clothed female ghosts, and soul-snatching ghosts, all possessing powerful skills. They charged into the enemy's camp and silently killed the enemy.
The ghost soldiers' skills were extremely bizarre. They were all special units, over twenty thousand various ghost soldiers with a myriad of unpredictable abilities.
The enemy screamed in the fog, wailed in the fog, and died silently in the fog.
