The entire Great Xia's military camp remained eerily silent until Leng Hu's twenty thousand cavalry charged to the riverbank.
A glint appeared in Leng Hu's eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Fan Wudi, you old fool! Let's see where you can run today!"
"Ambush... Enemy attack!"
"The enemy is here!"
"Tiger Head Army...it's the Tiger Head Army! Leng Hu's n are attacking us!"
"Wake up quickly…"
"Hurry up and get up!"
The entire garrison at Fan Wudi's side was instantly thrown into a state of chaos.
Under the cover of darkness, Leng Hu's n, across a river a hundred feet away, could even see multiple figures running in confusion on the other side.
"Hahaha, Fan Wudi, you old fool, did you ever think that your Leng Hu lord would have the courage to launch a night raid?" Leng Hu roared from atop his horse, "Charge, my n, leave not one alive!"
"Roar!"
The twenty thousand cavalryn, who'd been holding their breath for many days, let out a cathartic roar.
Leng Hu led the charge towards the nearly dried-up river.
"General, be careful, we'll clear the way!" A dozen scouts still maintained their cautious diligence, crossing the river before Leng Hu.
Clip clop!
Clip clop!
The agile warhorses easily crossed the stream-like river to the other side, then made a safe gesture to Leng Hu.
Leng Hu laughed and swung his long knife, "Charge forward!"
Boom!
The thundering sound of horse hooves filled the air, and all the cavalry troops ford in neat lines, beginning to cross the river.
No problem with the river at all!
"Attack!"
"Slaughter these Great Xia dogs to avenge our dead brothers in Skybreaker Mountain!"
"Attack!"
For a mont, the cries of battle shook the heavens!
The Great Xia's continuous large camps seed to beco more chaotic, and without mounting any effective resistance, so people were slain on the spot.
The screams echoed throughout the Great Xia's military camp.
Out of twenty thousand cavalry, at least ten thousand had successfully crossed the river, like tigers and wolves, they rushed towards the Great Xia's military camp.
However, Leng Hu, who was the first to cross, suddenly felt a hint of ominousness.
In the camps of the Great Xia, there were quite a lot of people. Many were so panicked that they didn't even have a chance to get dressed and ran out of their tents, only to be cut down by their cavalry.
But were these really troops under Fan Wudi's command?
By Fan Wudi's caution, even with his guard down, there should be sentries by the river...
"The sentries!" Suddenly Leng Hu realized the source of his dread!
They had raged ahead, with their rage blinding them to other considerations.
Only now did they realize that they hadn't encountered a single scout or sentry from Great Xia on their way!
This shouldn't happen to a lifelong soldier!
Fan Wudi isn't anyone with powerful connections, he rose from a foot soldier to his present position step by step.
Having examined Fan Wudi's life in detail, Leng Hu's assessnt was: brave, cautious, and astute!
Could such a man allow Leng Hu to succeed in his stealth attack this easily?
However, at this point, all the cavalry by his side are engaged in a hearty slaughter. Facing their iron riders, the still half-asleep soldiers of Great Xia simply have no resistance, at the rcy of their ruthless slaughter!
Almost... no resistance at all!
At that mont, in the night sky, there was a sudden buzzing sound like a swarm of bees passing by.
Leng Hu shivered violently, roaring," Oh no... we've been ambushed!"
Whizz... whizz-whee-whizz!
A barrage of arrows drew arcs across the sky, indiscriminately attacking this side.
Imdiately, hundreds of Great Qi cavalryn were shot down, many of them caught in the midst of their slaughter, unaware of what was happening, they were pierced directly in their heads, throats, chests... falling off their horses on the spot.
"Fan Wudi, you old bastard... You actually used your own soldiers as bait... Are you still human?" Leng Hu almost vomit blood. He reacted very quickly, jumping off his warhorse and hiding under it. His beloved horse was shot dead on the spot.
On the opposite hillside, a cold voice ca: "They are Great Xia's condemned prisoners. If they can return alive from the battlefield, their cris will be pardoned. If they die, they will get a consolation paynt. Great Qi never did such thing?"
"Condemned prisoners... they were condemned prisoners... So disgusting!" Leng Hu couldn't help but spew out mouthful of fresh blood, roaring: "You old bastard, you are so despicable!"
"Kid, this is war!" The voice on the hillside was a bit mocking: "Re-shoot!"
Whizz-whizz-whizz...!
Once again, the sound of arrows piercing the air echoed between the heaven and the earth.
A large number of arrows, like a rainstorm, falling from the high altitude, targeted at the Tiger Head Army's cavalry once more.
This fight was too easy, there was no need even to aim.
Leng Hu was filled with regret and unwillingness, roaring: "Retreat...withdraw..."
At this point, more than thirteen thousand soldiers have successfully crossed the river, and more than ten thousand people, have penetrated deep into the Great Xia's camp. It's not easy to withdraw in a short period of ti.
The Tiger Head Army is a well-trained and disciplined force. Even in such a crucial situation, there were no chaotic scenes of n and horses running in wild panic to escape. But even then, their retreat...still can't outpace those constant shooting arrows.
In just a few rounds of shot, more than two thousand Tiger Head Army cavalryn fell.
As for the injured... they were too many to count, at least three or four thousand people!
Most of the casualties were caused by the first round of arrow rain, because at that ti, the knights of Tiger Head Army had no preparation at all.
In the following few rounds of arrow rain, they have taken out their shields to guard the vital parts.
But it is impossible to completely avoid casualties.
At this ti, a voice ca from the opposite hillside, "Left and right wings... attack!"
A call to arms suddenly ca from the two sides, a large number of infantry, holding long guns, forming a huge square formation, pressing directly towards the camp.
Leng Hu felt extrely cold in his heart, he knew that today's battle, he had lost thoroughly. He couldn't help but roar: "Fan Wudi...how did you know I was going to raid tonight?"
"Kid, our general doesn't need to calculate, we can even tell when you're about to take a shit...hahaha!"
Hahaha!"
"Haha, yeah kid, go back and have a few more years of mother's milk before you co back to fight!"
"Calculate what? We've been living like this these days! Training troops in the camp during the dayti, and waiting for you guys at night!"
"We thought you were such a coward you wouldn't dare to co... It's finally worthwhile for us to endure all these hardships!"
On the hillside, a big group of Great Xia's officers were provocatively mocking across at Leng Hu.
Although Leng Hu was so angry that his face turned livid, he finally understood where he had lost.
Ginger is, indeed, still spicy even when it's old!
"Fan Wudi...I have learnt my lesson! We will et again!" Not wanting to lose the dignity of a general, Leng Hu took a horse from his subordinate, preparing to lead his n out of the encirclent that was about to be ford.
At this point, among the six or seven thousand Tiger Head Army cavalry who haven't had a chance to cross the river yet, there ca a commotion.
"Not good...the enemy is attacking from the back!"
