Once Ma Anbang was captured, both sides imdiately showed their true colors, and it was a case of "on a narrow road, the brave man wins."
Fortunately, Li Hongyun had prepared for this. He had previously analyzed the personnel composition of Ma Anbang’s camp, and now it was ti to put that analysis to use.
Seeing the soldiers blockading the way ahead, Li Hongyun urged his horse forward while shouting loudly, "The Qi Dynasty’s hundred thousand heavenly troops will soon arrive! Lay down your weapons and surrender to the Qi Dynasty, and all will be forgiven. Those who dare to resist will be shown no rcy!"
The fifty n behind him also joined in the shouting.
The hastily organized soldiers were indeed scattered by the charge.
Li Hongyun could clearly see the hesitation and retreat on the soldiers’ faces; his words had obviously had an effect.
They didn’t know if the Qi Dynasty’s hundred thousand troops were really on their way, but many were originally from the Qi Dynasty and weren’t very loyal to Ma Anbang, so it was natural for them to take the easy way out at this mont.
Wielding long spears, they made a symbolic gesture of resistance, which was enough; these were low-ranking soldiers with little combat power, and they likely wouldn’t be punished afterward.
However, a few of Ma Anbang’s confidants and personal guards were completely unresponsive, unable to organize an effective resistance.
Li Hongyun rode his horse, carrying Ma Anbang, and led fifty cavalryn as they charged out of the camp.
"It worked!"
Li Hongyun was thrilled; his heart was pounding wildly.
The plan had gone incredibly smoothly, almost exactly as he had scripted it. Even the few minor unforeseen issues were swiftly resolved by his quick thinking.
Fifty cavalryn dashed towards the camp’s exit.
Once they left the camp, it would be like a bird escaping from its cage, or a fish entering the sea; the plan could be said to be largely successful!
All they needed to do next was to head to a prearranged location to switch horses and then race southwards; they should be able to get through this ordeal smoothly.
However, just as Li Hongyun was about to leave the camp, he suddenly felt the horse he was furiously riding co to a sharp halt and then, he was violently thrown off!
Tripwire!
Li Hongyun was flung through the air, landing in a heap. His horse also fell to the ground and did not get up for a long ti.
Imdiately following this, hundreds of soldiers burst out, encircling them completely.
"Kill!"
The attackers were clearly Ma Anbang’s elite confidants; General Chen Shilong knew that talking was useless now and that they had to fight these n.
However, it wasn’t long before they heard the sound of killing from behind as well.
A large group of elite Jin soldiers on horseback charged up aggressively.
Caught between attacks from both sides, Li Hongyun’s fifty cavalryn were quickly annihilated.
...
"Damn it, so close to success!"
Li Hongyun was furious.
They’d made it through major difficulties smoothly, only to fail at the last mont by tipping over in the gutter!
Of course, calling it a gutter might not be quite right.
He had simply underestimated the difficulty of escaping the military camp.
Capturing Ma Anbang ant a complete breakdown of relations, and even if shouting "Qi Dynasty troops are almost here" could convince so of the camp soldiers sympathetic to the Qi Dynasty not to hinder them, Ma Anbang’s confidants and the Jin soldiers would spare no effort to rescue him.
So, after so thought, Li Hongyun decided that the plan needed so additions.
Most importantly, he needed to carefully plan the route, choosing the weakest spots in the camp to break through. He also had to stay alert at all tis, breaking through various roadblocks like tripwires and barriers, and the interception of soldiers relying solely on brute force.
At this point, there were no clever strategies to speak of; it was all about raw power.
"Let’s go again!"
Li Hongyun chose his special ability and began the trial anew.
...
anwhile, Fan Cun had already started his third attempt to assault the enemy camp.
The first assault on the camp failed, so Fan Cun had exited the ga to check the forums for any strategies.
The result was that there was no surefire strategy to guarantee a clear.
Most players were still in the early stages of developnt, and it was too soon for any strategies to be posted.
However, a player had posted the original historical docunt about Yu Jiaxuan’s fifty cavalryn kidnapping Ma Anbang from the camp.
Although Fan Cun still didn’t know the specific solution, he knew the maximum objective of this instance was to kidnap Ma Anbang using fifty cavalryn.
So, he decided to continue using his own thod, attempting to force his way through.
Of course, using the sa blunt thod as before wouldn’t work; he needed to change his approach and thod.
He really did find a weaker defense spot in the camp and selected the latter half of the night for his operation.
With his intelligence, that was about all the strategy he could co up with.
