C144

Suddenly, a mass of red rose into the air, and black smoke emerged from the flames, extending all the way to the horizon. Along with the rise of a fire, the red light jumped and quickly spread in all directions. In an instant, it lit up half of the sky, making the Light Cavalry of the King of Dwarves unable to hide.

When Helian Manqiu discovered the light cavalry charging over from afar, she arranged for all the combustible items, dried firewood, to be spread out outside the habitat and everywhere. She also ordered the soldiers to throw the butter and mutton oil on top of the firewood as well.

After several places were ignited, the fire took advantage of the wind to quickly spread around the habitat, exposing the location and people of the inferior people.

He took a look and saw that the darkness was densely packed with light cavalry, there was no telling how many people there were.

"Uncle Yi, take a look at how many people there are."

One of them was to be able to kneel on the ground and listen to the sound. From the vibrations and sounds coming from the ground, it was possible to deduce the number of the enemy's troops. The accuracy rate was very high.

He would also look at the dust and determine the distance and number of people the enemy was about to reach.

Of course, when facing an enemy, what did it mean to be able to see how many troops they had with a single glance? Even though he knew his way around the world and hadn't been on the battlefield for a few years, this old general was also one of the brave generals under Helian Shan's command.

"Young general, there's roughly thirty thousand men."

He then looked towards the distance with the telescope in his hand and praised, "Young General, you are really a genius. The clairvoyant is too amazing. "With this, we will be able to see the enemy's defenses from far away."

"Hmm, do you think he would be happy if I gave one to him?"

"I should give one to my lord. My lord will definitely like it."

He knew that Helian Manqiu still had a lot of good things that she had kept hidden all along and had not revealed them in front of Gan Qianxuan.

Just like that night when they were led by Helian Manqiu to fight to the death in the garrison state. The young general had never produced anything as powerful as this. It might have been made, but he wasn't sure where the young general kept those things.

"Young General, if only you had the thunderbolt from that night, you could have killed them all!"

Helian Manqiu slightly shook her head. It was better not to use something like that. Firearms should not appear at this time, and only she knew the formula. However, only a few people knew about the method to create them. She had already hidden them deeply in the army and forbade anyone from approaching them.

Those things must never be spread out.

She had thought of producing some of them in case of an emergency, but she was afraid that it would leak out. This time, when she sent out troops to attack the king's army, she brought some with her. Only at the most crucial moment would she be able to use those things.

"Uncle Yi, send the order to attack!"

A look of worry appeared on his face, but he did not hesitate to raise his torch and give out orders. He used his torch to transmit orders, as well as signs and flags.

In this era, there were no computers, mobile phones, or walkie-talkies. The only thing that could quickly transmit orders was this.

He was holding a burning green torch in his hand. Two burning torches were brandishing in the air, making several gestures as he gave the order.

The torch used to transmit orders was specially made by Helian Manqiu to look like a ghost torch. It was so that people could easily distinguish it under the light and fire of the night.

"Sou, sou, sou …"

The arrow pierced through the air, producing a sharp sound. Within the firelight, countless light cavalry soldiers fell. Helian Manqiu sneered. Those flames were mixed with medicine, so when the people smelled the smoke, their reactions would be slow and they might even faint.

She had already ordered her men to stand in the wind, covering their mouths and noses with wet towels, and also covering the horses' noses and mouths.

At the same time, she gave her men and horses the antidote beforehand, so that they wouldn't get in the way of the fish pond.

"Do you think Uncle Yi can figure out who is leading the fresh and inferior troops this time?"

Tao Zheng pondered for a moment before speaking up, "It could be the son of the King of Elementary Scholars, Duan Zhanchen. He was the one who led an army to attack the War Continent."

"Duan Zhanchen, so you're an old friend. What a coincidence."

Duan Zhanchen, that day you besieged and attacked the Military Region and killed Helian Shan with a sneak attack. Tonight, I will make you pay a huge price!

"Young General, it's not appropriate to stay for long. They have too many people, and this is the territory of the Fresh Elf King. This lowly general is worried, they still have reinforcements and ambushes. "

"Don't worry, Uncle Yi. I have my own plans."

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, he cupped his fist and bowed on his horse: "Young General, this general requests you to attack. Young General, please give the order."

"Fine, lead your men to kill the men who have fallen to the ground. Do not confront them head-on, and do not continue to fight and prepare to retreat at any time. Rushing in is very dangerous, but don't be rash. My goal is to kill them as much as possible, and we won't lose a single soldier! "

"Yes, this general obeys."

The military base was simply too weak. If not for this young general personally leading the army, it would not have been enough for the Light Cavalry of the King of Humility to rush in and kill them a few times.

It was possible that if he killed them all, Duan Zhan Chen wouldn't feel satisfied!

Now, under the leadership of this young general, they were going to use their numbers to kill their opponents and force them to flee in a sorry state.

With a wave of his hand, he led his men and rushed forward. Tao Zheng silently watched and looked back at Helian Manqiu. "Young General, please lead your men to retreat. We will cut off the rear here."

Helian Manqiu shook her head. As long as she was sitting on the horse here and her underlings saw her men, they would keep their wits about them and not retreat a single step. If she were to leave, it would inevitably cause the morale of the troops to drop.

"Tao Zheng, is there any news from the scouts?"

"Young General, there is no news from scouts and eagles."

"They might have blocked it."

Helian Manqiu clenched her fists tightly and turned to look at Tao Zheng, "Pass down the order, retreat and attack from the back. Bring people with you and kill them as fast as possible, kill them with crossbow arrows, do not rush back after a single fight. Do not come into direct contact with them. Try your best to lure them over! "

"Yes, this general obeys."

Tao Zheng accepted the order and looked worriedly at Helian Manqiu. Although he had an indescribable amount of trust and admiration for this young general, he was still worried for her when he saw that there weren't many people by her side.

The sound of iron hooves broke the tranquility of the night. Half of the sky was dyed red, and it could be seen from a very far distance.

"General, it seems that His Highness is in trouble."

In the darkness far away, there was something faintly discernible, and the sound of breathing could be heard.

Looking at the red color in the distance, the general didn't say anything. He coldly looked into the distance and remained as unmoving as a mountain.

His mission was to stay here and see where Helian Qingyu would retreat to. He would block Helian Qingyu's path of retreat, kill all the soldiers of the Military Region, and capture Helian Qingyu alive.

He did not care about Duan Zhan Chen's life or death. If he brought 30,000 Light Cavalry with him, he would not be able to win. He thought that even if Duan Zhan Chen hadn't been killed by Helian Qingyu, he would just be wiping his own neck.

"Your Highness, the enemy laid a trap for us, causing heavy casualties."

"Your Highness, their trap is too insidious. There are sharp wooden spikes in it, anyone who falls would not be able to survive!"

"Your Highness, we can't just rush in like this. The losses are too great …"

One by one, they reported back, causing Duan Zhan Chen's expression to become even more sinister than the sky, his eyes filled with killing intent.

At this moment, his men fell one by one under the light of the fire. He couldn't help but look over in surprise. Within the thick smoke, there was a faint smell. He could not help but clench his fist tightly: "Helian Qingyu!"

"Your Highness, the smoke is poisonous …"

Sharp arrows followed one after the other, not giving them the slightest opportunity to catch their breath. In the darkness of the night, they were unable to clearly see how many people and horses the enemy was on their path, much less know where they were.

"Retreat, retreat first, use the sand to extinguish the fire!"

Duan Zhan Chen was truly worthy of being a general that had led troops for many years.

A hideous face like a demon appeared in the flame. Half of it was covered by a mask. He waved the blade in his hand and spurted out a mouthful of blood. A head fell to the ground. That person was like a devil from hell. His body was lying low on the horse as the battle blade in his hand was constantly being swung, fell, waved again, and fell down again …

Some of the fresh and inferior soldiers and horses that fell on the grass had their bodies lit on fire. The fire wasn't big, but the poison smoke within was extremely strong.

Most of those people were still alive, but their lives were being reaped by this demon from hell, just like harvesting wheat after autumn.

The heads of the fine horses and poor people continuously danced as they landed on the ground. That hideous scarred face swayed in the fiery light, causing one's heart to palpitate and break out in cold sweat.

"Ghost, ghost!"

"No, it's the King of Hell! It must be the King of Hell!"

The men who were leading the way were all lying on the backs of their horses. Each of them covered their mouths and noses with a thick cloth, and the swords in their hands passed through the throats of the fresh servants and war horses that had fallen to the ground.

After the line of blood had faded away, dark red blood spurted out and spilled all over the ground, exuding a thick smell of blood in the air.

With each stroke of the saber, a person's life would be taken. It was the weak cry of a handsome horse!

Suddenly, Duan Zhan Chen tore off his battle robe and used the wine jug on his waist to soak in the water. He shouted, "Wet your clothes with water or wine, cover your mouth and nose, follow me in washing your clothes!"

He took the lead and urged his horse forward. Raising the battle blade in his hand, he rushed forward.

Seeing their master and prince rushing out, all the soldiers hurriedly soaked their battle robes in wine and water, covering their mouths and noses, and rushed towards them.

In the distance, Helian Manqiu saw this scene and did not move as she watched.
