Mu Zi’an’s soul transmigrated into the son of the State-Stabilizing Duke of Great Li. His predecessor had been willing to humble himself and offer everything for love, yet all he received in return...
Pei Shaochu's actions today have thoroughly angered Mu Zian.
Such traitors must be punished as they deserve; only in this way can we deter others from wrongdoing!
At this moment, Luo Cheng, covered in blood and having just finished off many fierce enemies, slowly returned.
The garrison of Wuwei City greatly admired Luo Cheng's bravery.
Chu Xuesong stroked his beard and laughed.
"The Duke of Zhenguo truly has a multitude of fierce generals under his command."
Mu Zian remained noncommittal, but both Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun were undoubtedly among the top tier of military generals.
However, now is not the time to show off. Mu Zian looked around and said seriously.
"Although the Xiongnu vanguard has suffered losses, their core has not been damaged, and the situation of this battle is still unclear."
"That Pei Shaochu, a scholar of our Great Li, has received the country's favor for generations, yet he has now betrayed us and betrayed us to the Xiongnu. He not only tricked Fuling City into opening, but also massacred the people of our Great Li. Such a pig and dog must be killed to appease public anger!"
Upon hearing Pei Shaochu's name, everyone's faces lit up with anger. Traitors are more hateful than enemies!
Chu Xuesong looked at Mu Zian and asked.
"I wonder what the Duke of Zhenguo means?"
Mu Zian said calmly.
"I have already scouted Pei Shaochu's camp. Tonight, I will lead fifty riders and personally capture this beast!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was astonished.
Fifty horsemen dared to charge into the Xiongnu camp? That's ridiculous!
Chu Xuesong immediately spoke up to stop him.
"The Duke of Zhenguo is of inestimable worth; how could he personally risk such a predicament?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian replied...
“As the Duke of Dali, I enjoy the support of the people. If I cannot avenge the people and soldiers, why should I hold this position?”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding generals all showed expressions of admiration.
Just then, Jia Xu slowly stepped forward.
"Young master, I have a plan that can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort in tonight's raid on the camp."
"Sir, please speak quickly."
Jia Xu nodded and then pointed to the Xiongnu vanguard camp ahead.
"After today's battle, the Xiongnu will surely be exhausted."
"As the saying goes, the art of war is to employ deception and deception. Tonight, my lord, you can send a few waves of cavalry to feign an attack on the camp and cause chaos in the Xiongnu camp."
"When the Xiongnu chased out of the camp, we immediately retreated. By going back and forth repeatedly, the Xiongnu would not be disturbed."
"When the Xiongnu army relaxes its vigilance, a decisive attack will surely yield great results!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately brightened up.
Mu Zian smiled knowingly; Jia Xu truly lived up to his reputation as the most ruthless strategist of the Three Kingdoms.
With such a strategist by your side, how do you play these Huns?
Moreover, once the scheme succeeds, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy."
The Xiongnu people would certainly not dare to fall into a deep sleep again, and their condition would inevitably suffer the next day.
If the Xiongnu continue to attack the city, the defenders of Wuwei City will inevitably gain a greater advantage due to the shift in power.
Mu Zian nodded.
"Let's do it this way!"
After nightfall, all was quiet.
Mu Zian divided the Thousand Nights Uncollected into three teams, which took turns implementing the plan.
Under the vast darkness of night, the mournful cries of women could be heard intermittently from the Xiongnu camp.
Meanwhile, most of the Xiongnu cavalrymen had already fallen asleep.
The Xiongnu soldiers on night watch were also lax and disorganized at this moment.
After all, they simply did not believe that the garrison troops who had been hiding in the city would dare to come out and fight.
With a scraping sound, the gates of Wuwei City, which Tie Ge had dreamed of breaching, were opened a crack.
A squad of night scouts rushed out of the city like ghosts.
A moment later, just as all the Xiongnu people were immersed in their dreams.
A crisp arrow whistled through the night sky!
As a scream rang out, the Xiongnu guards at the gate immediately snapped back to reality and shouted.
"Raid the camp! Raid the camp!"
Ugh~
A deep, muffled horn sounded across the night sky!
The once quiet Xiongnu camp instantly descended into chaos!
Helian Tiege, shirtless, rushed out of his tent.
The noisy neighing of horses and the panicked shouts and curses all around were mixed together.
The vanguard adjutant hurriedly approached Helian Tiege and said in a deep voice.
"General! It's those Han Chinese from Wuwei City attacking the camp!"
Helian Tiege flew into a rage upon hearing this!
"These cunning Han dogs! How dare they ambush me!"
"Put on your armor! Follow me and slaughter them all!"
Upon hearing this, the vanguard adjutant immediately nodded and relayed the military order.
The entire Xiongnu vanguard camp immediately sprang into action, functioning like a war machine.
Leading the horse, putting on armor, and donning a sword were all done in one smooth motion.
Outside the camp, the first squad of night scouts saw the Hun camp beginning to fall into chaos.
Without any hesitation, they immediately turned their horses around and returned to Wuwei City.
When the fully equipped Xiongnu cavalry charged out of the camp, they saw only the vast moonlight but not a single person in sight.
Enraged, the Xiongnu cavalry roared in fury!
A moment later, inside the commander's camp.
Tie Ge, clad in armor, had a livid face, while the ten centurions on either side of the camp looked furious.
The vanguard adjutant stepped forward and spoke.
"Reporting to the general, it was a cavalry unit from within Wuwei City that was harassing the area from the outskirts."
Upon hearing this, Tie Ge slammed his hand on the table and angrily looked around.
"Why weren't these Han traitors caught?!"
The ten centurions present looked at each other in bewilderment. The centurion in charge of night watch stepped forward and said something.
"Reporting to the general, by the time we charged out, they had already escaped."
