Hua Changjue looked at the fire in the distance, his eyes full of surging light.

"Then let's wait a little longer. It won't be too late to take action until they realize they've been tricked."

General Hou's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Okay, leave it to me. I will definitely make them pay."

"Oh, great! This time I can kill to my heart's content." General Hou was extremely excited. He hadn't fought in a war for several years.

"Then I'll leave this to General Hou!" Hua Changjue curled his lips.

"Okay, go do your thing. Leave this to me!" General Hou waved his hand and kept his eyes on the person rushing out of the woods. He couldn't care about anything else now.

Hua Changjue had no choice but to wink at Gao Sheng, and the two of them left quietly.

Lu Yi, a general beside the Southern King, rushed down the hillside and out of the woods with Jiang Shu. Before they got close, they heard their own people exclaiming.

"Ah, how could that be?" Unfortunately, the man was chopped in half before he could finish his words.

Lu Yi was stunned and looked at Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang was also a little confused. After all, it was before dawn and even with a torch, it was hard to see clearly.

It was only when they finally rushed to the front that they could see the scene clearly.

They thought that Hua Changjue's soldiers had been hit more or less and should be lying down. But when they got closer, they found that it was their own soldiers who were lying down.

Hua Changjue's soldiers were all in high spirits, with excitement in their eyes. At their feet, there were many scarecrows wearing soldiers' clothes?

"How can there be so many, Scarecrow!"

Uncle Jiang couldn't believe his eyes. Could it be that the people they had been watching all night were all these scarecrows?

It was not their fault. They did not dare to get too close and watched from a distance. But they never relaxed for a moment.

No one knows when the living soldiers turned into scarecrow soldiers.

There are only scarecrow soldiers here. So where are all the living soldiers?

Uncle Jiang slapped his thigh as he marched forward.

"Oh no! We've been tricked."

Originally, Uncle Jiang and his men had looted a large amount of drugs, hallucinogens, and other drugs that could make people drowsy and weak in the pharmacy in Linjiang City.

It was to take advantage of the fact that Hua Changjue was off guard last night and before the soldiers had their meal, they poured the boiled medicine juice little by little from several streams upstream.

He had a good idea. If Hua Changjue and his men were cautious and did not drink the water they sent over, the soldiers would still drink some stream water if they were thirsty.

If Hua Changjue drank the water they sent, a dozen truckloads of water would not be enough for 200,000 people. The soldiers would still drink stream water, which made them feel more at ease.

He didn't expect to be able to charm many of Hua Changjue's soldiers, but as long as he could make them weak in the legs and drowsy and unable to fight, it would be enough.

Anyway, it was dark, and they had been traveling for so many days. It was normal for them to feel tired and sleepy! They would not easily notice anything unusual.

But Uncle Jiang never expected that this group of people didn't even drink the water from the stream.

Now it is discovered that Hua Changjue's army of 200,000 is now only 40,000 to 50,000 people. The rest are just scarecrows on the ground.

He really couldn't figure out where the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers had gone.

Lu Yi and Jiang Shu both knew that they had been tricked. They did not intend to fight to the end. After all, the troops coming this time were all elite troops under the command of the Southern King. They still had to conserve their strength.

Lu Yi shouted loudly, "Everyone, retreat!"

When their soldiers heard about the retreat, they knew it was bad. But they didn't know where to retreat to. Because their superiors said that they would win the battle. So they didn't even think about retreating.

Moreover, they had been guarding in the mountains for two days for this battle. They didn't get enough rest and didn't dare to cook over an open fire. They just ate cold steamed buns.

Now, many soldiers are sleepy and tired, and their reactions are slow.

Hua Changjue and his soldiers had a big pot meal last night. The taste was average, but it was filling. They also slept well for two hours. Now they were all full of energy.

Hua Changjue's soldiers were not polite to the other side and would chop anyone they saw.

During this delay, nearly 10% of Jiang Shu's soldiers were killed.

Lu Yi and Uncle Jiang continued to give orders while retreating.

"Back off, everyone back off. Back off to the mountains."

As a result, just as their people were about to retreat, they heard shouts and screams coming from the forest.

Lu Yi was startled and looked back in disbelief.

"How did they get behind us?"

Uncle Jiang was also confused.

Li Zhan and An Yi, accompanied by several young villagers from Chengjia Village, rushed out of the mountains and forests with an army of 40,000.

There was tension and excitement on the faces of several young people.

It turned out that Hua Changjue's plan was to rescue Cheng Lao and the villagers, and then let the villagers of Chengjia Village take them into the mountains and go around behind Lu Yi and the others.

Because Mr. Cheng and the villagers of Chengjia Village are the ones who have lived here for generations. They know their own mountains better. They know where to walk and where many people can hide.

Uncle Jiang and his friends, who had only been there for ten days, had no idea.

Hua Changjue and his men attacked Uncle Jiang and his men from both the front and back.

Moreover, Hua Changjue and his men had a total of 80,000 people, while Uncle Jiang and his men only had 60,000.

In just one hour, Uncle Jiang and his men were defeated and finally surrendered.

Lu Yi and Huang Qi were killed in the battle, and Jiang Shuhe's remaining less than 20,000 men all surrendered.

General Hou was in a very good mood now, and he walked up to the prisoners.
