Four o'clock in the morning the next day

Four hundred soldiers, each holding a machete and wearing iron armor, were riding horses on the mountainside below the hunting palace, waiting for an ambush at any time.

Xiao Jingyang rode a white horse and waited quietly.

Originally, it stands to reason that Xiao Jingyang should lead the team alone.

Almost everyone stayed up all night last night, and Meng Zhi came back very late with his tired body.

Yesterday, he carried a huge package all over the mountains and fields by himself, basically drugging all the springs below the mountainside.

He slipped into the creek near the enemy camp and poured a lot of it, mainly because he was afraid that the medicinal properties would be washed away and would have no effect.

Mei Changsu and the others thought for a while, and if this was the case, they could divide the eight hundred people into two waves, with Mu Nihuang leading the people to rush down from the left, and Xiao Jingyang leading the people to rush down from the front.

Make a dumpling to encircle and suppress them even more.

The medicine takes about an hour to take effect.

That's why Xiao Jingyang will wait here. At about five o'clock, he will almost lead his troops to rush down.

This is the most likely time for the drug to take effect.

I don’t know how much time has passed

An adjutant walked up to Xiao Jingyang, saluted and said:

"Your Majesty! The time is almost up."

"Yeah!" Xiao Jingyang nodded and took a deep breath.

Turning around and facing everyone behind him, he said:

"Brothers! In today's first battle, let's gain some momentum and fight to the death with those rebels for the sake of Daliang and loyalty."

The last nonsense Xiao Jingyang said became a stimulant, and the anger in everyone's hearts also ignited.

As a man, since you join the army, it is to protect your family and country.

The word "rebel" is inherently the most abhorrent.

In addition, everyone is just an ordinary soldier, and they have been engaged in military life all year round and do not have much culture (only in this book, it has nothing to do with contemporary soldiers.) Everyone has also developed a heroic character.

The curse words gave them a greater sense of identity.

"Fuck you!!!"

"Dry!!!"

Everyone yelled twice. We were still several kilometers away from the enemy camp, so we were not afraid of them hearing us.

And even if they hear it, so what? They will die anyway, and they will definitely not be able to escape if they want to.

Xiao Jingyang put on his helmet, held the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear in his hand, held the reins tightly, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The white horse suddenly neighed and rushed forward quickly.

The soldiers behind all grasped their machetes and followed quickly.

Most of the people in the military camp on the other side were asleep.

They didn't know why King Yu had to travel all night that day, and he hadn't rested for nearly three days.

We have to fight tomorrow, and if we don't take a break, it's sheer nonsense to want to fight.

Not to mention people, even horses are exhausted.

When they arrived here, they almost had no energy, and they quickly found a lot of fodder and fresh water to replenish the horses' health.

It's still dark at the moment, but it's not completely dark all around.

Xiao Jingyang and the others quickly shuttled through the jungle and rushed towards the camp.

The people in the camp were very tired, but Xiao Jingyang and the others looked full of energy.

Four hundred men and horses rushed out at once. The surrounding ground was shaking. The guards in the camp noticed something was wrong and quickly issued a warning.

But they didn't get up as fast as Xiao Jingyang and others.

The horses ran faster and faster, as if they were having fun, and everyone rushed into the military camp.

This camp was simply set up with tents, and sentry posts were distributed about 500 meters away.

But the funny thing is that after the people at the sentry found out, they didn't have time to send the news back. Xiao Jingyang and the others rushed over, and they themselves were all caught and fell to the ground.

Some soldiers got up and wanted to find the horses, but found that some horses were lying listlessly on the ground, and some were extremely weak although they were still capable of fighting.

Therefore, they could only fight Xiao Jingyang and the others as infantry.

When cavalry fights infantry, it is purely a fight against a son.

The cavalry shuttled back and forth in the camp, holding machetes in their hands. No one knew how many people died under the sword.

"Xu..."

Xiao Jingyang reined in the horse's rope in the center of the camp and looked at the desolate camp. The tip of the gun was full of blood, the silver-white armor was also covered with blood stains, and even the hooves of the white horse under his crotch were stained with red blood.

to render.

There was a fire all around, a miserable noise.

Some soldiers were hit to death by horses or hacked to death with machetes just after they woke up. They couldn't react at all and didn't even have time to put on their armor.

Xiao Jingyang used his inner strength and shouted loudly:

“Everyone listen!!!!”

"His Majesty the Emperor is in the Hunting Palace. I am Xiao Jingyang, the eldest son of Prince Ji!!!"

"Everyone must have been deceived. As long as we lay down our weapons and surrender, everything will still have a chance."

"If you still want to cause rebellion from above and insist on being rebels, you will be killed without mercy!!!"

After hearing Xiao Jingyang's words, some soldiers put down their weapons.

After all, the banner was that King Jing rebelled and held His Majesty hostage, and they went to Qing King's side.

Now that Prince Ji said this, everyone was a little undecided.

How did they change from soldiers who defended their country to rebels?

Things progressed very quickly after that.

Most of the soldiers put down their weapons due to their unstable morale.

For the remaining die-hard faction, Xiao Jingyang singled out their leader with one shot, and they relented and all knelt down to beg for mercy.

Mu Nihuang led the cavalry to kill all those who escaped, and took a look at the movements of the infantry on the opposite side.

King Yu and his large army are almost at the foot of Jiu'an Mountain.

After Xiao Jingyang and Mu Nihuang met, they thought about it and decided to take back all the surviving soldiers who had surrendered, as well as all the horses, so that the imperial doctor could treat them.

In this battle, half of the vanguard battalion on the opposite side was killed (mainly because Mu Nihuang was responsible for all those who escaped. Deserters were the most despised by the Iron-Blooded Princess.) Our side lost about fifty people, which was considered a natural victory.

The defensive force expanded to nearly a thousand people.

The total number of defenders is now more than 9,000 and nearly 10,000.

It took nearly an hour for Mu Nihuang and his men to collect all the useful things around them.

Xiao Jingyang arranged gunpowder all around, and left a few body skills to hide here, or wait for King Yu and others to light the gunpowder when they arrived.

He also went to some lakes and poured a large amount of "powerful laxative" developed by imperial doctors into them.

Of course, you should do things like deceiving people to the end.

If there wasn't some poison that was difficult to dilute, Xiao Jingyang wanted to poison them directly to make all these people belch.

He couldn't believe that these people didn't even drink a sip of water when they arrived.

Anyway, they are upstream during this period, and even if the King of Heaven comes, they will not be able to reach Xiao Jingyang and the others.

After preparing everything, they returned to the hunting palace with the victory.
