The coalition forces led by the Gule army did not arrive outside the Hongshi City until they confirmed that the main force of the Liang army had retreated into the Suolong Pass.

In the previous war, the coalition forces suffered much heavier losses than the Western Expedition Army, with the number of casualties alone reaching as high as 140,000. This made the armies of several Western Regions countries feel a little afraid of the Western Expedition Army.

Fearing that the retreat of the Western Expedition Army might be hiding some conspiracy, the coalition forces not only did not dare to send out cavalry units to pursue the enemy, but also did not dare to attack Red Stone City easily.

The second prince of Gule, Sadik, the third prince, Megaji, and the commander of the army of Wensu, Yadakun, all frowned slightly as they looked at the Red Stone City in the distance, which was covered with a layer of ice armor.

"The Liang people have destroyed the walls of Red Stone City like this. If we want to capture Red Stone City, we will probably have to pay a lot of lives." Yadakun said in a deep voice.

The second prince, Sadik, then said, “General Yadakun, according to the information I received, after the Liang people captured each city of our Gule Kingdom, they would, with the cooperation of those inferior people, launch a brutal massacre of the white people in the city.

I have already discussed with McGaji that once we capture Red Stone City, the army can move freely within it until there is no Liang citizen or inferior left in the city."

The inferior people that the second prince Sadiq mentioned were the Liang people living in the Gule Kingdom.

The third prince, McGaji, then said, "Not only in Hongshi City, but other cities occupied by the Liang people will also be dealt with in the same way."

Upon hearing this, Yadakun asked in a somewhat surprised tone, "Prince Sadik, Prince Megaji, the Liang people have occupied over forty cities in your Gule Kingdom. Are you planning to kill all the inferior people in these forty-plus cities?"

Second Prince Sadik nodded and said, "The population structure of our Gule Kingdom is somewhat unreasonable, with genuine Gule people accounting for less than 20%.

This is a good opportunity to reduce the proportion of lower-class people."

The 100,000-strong Wensu army led by Yadakun lost more than 30,000 people in the battle outside Tieshi City. Since the main force of the Liang army had retreated, Yadakun was actually unwilling to continue helping the Gule Kingdom to recapture the city occupied by the Liang army.

Even if only civilians were defending the city, it would still cause considerable casualties to the siege troops. Moreover, according to intelligence, the Liang army had left a force of over 10,000 people in Hongshi City to cover their retreat.

However, when Yadakun heard that the army could act freely after capturing Red Stone City, he was immediately tempted.

Yadakun then said, "Prince Sadik, Prince Magaj, my army can help you capture Red Stone City, but I demand that after the city is captured, half of the city be handed over to my army, including all the wealth and women within."

The second prince Sadik and the third prince Mejiaji exchanged glances, and then the third prince Mejiaji said with a smile: "We Gule people will not let our friends help us in vain.

It just so happens that the 120,000 troops of Puwan are about to arrive. I think we can wait until the troops of Puwan arrive before launching the siege.

As long as we can capture Red Stone City, the wealth and women within the city can be divided equally between General Yadakun's army and the Puwan army."

After the great battle outside the Iron Lion City, only 60,000 troops were left under the command of the second prince Sadik, and only a little over 100,000 troops were left under the command of the third prince Megaji. These were almost all the troops that the entire Gule Kingdom could muster.

Although Sadik and Magaji were confident that with the departure of the main force of the Liang army, they could still recapture all the more than 40 lost cities with the help of their troops.

But in that case, the troops under their command might suffer further losses of tens of thousands.

The enemies of Gule State are not just Liang State. If Gule State’s army suffers heavy losses, its current allies may turn around and open their mouths wide to attack Gule State.

Therefore, Sadik and Magaji hoped to use the armies of other countries to recapture more than 40 cities and completely cut off Liang's hand from reaching into Gule.

In addition, the two princes of the Gule Kingdom had secretly reached a reconciliation after the invasion of the Liang Kingdom's Western Expedition Army.

The new king of Gul will be the third prince Magaji, and the second prince Sadik will serve as the regent of Gul, whose power will be second only to the king.

When Sun Hao saw the coalition forces led by the Gule army arriving outside the Red Stone City, he not only did not show any worry, but he seemed extremely excited.

Sun Hao does not need to hide the "Brave Converter" from the brave warriors summoned by the "Annual Signing System".

After Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong learned that the "Hero Converter" had a conversion value of more than 4.6 million points, the two of them worked together to formulate a plan for a night attack on the coalition forces.

At this moment, Sun Hao, along with ten fierce generals including Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu, Hulugu, Gao Aocao, Xiong Kuohai, Pei Yuanqing, Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang and Du Fu, were hiding in a forest more than 20 miles north of Hongshi City.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the coalition forces, Sun Hao only took these ten brave generals and sneaked out of the city under the cover of night.

Late at night on February 9, 388 in the Daliang calendar, Sun Hao and his eleven companions, riding their war horses quietly approached the allied camp in the moonlight.

Afterwards, Sun Hao spent a full four million conversion points and exchanged them for 2,500 Black Armor Cavalry, 2,500 Beiwei Cavalry, 2,500 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 2,500 Xiliang Iron Cavalry through the "Brave General Converter".

After 10,000 heavily armored cavalry appeared out of nowhere, according to Sun Hao's previous arrangements, the Black Armor Cavalry was led by Hulugu and Shi Wengong, the Beiwei Cavalry was led by Gao Aocao and Luan Tingyu, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was led by Xiong Kuohai and Bian Xiang, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was led by Pei Yuanqing and Du Fu, who served as the main force for tonight's night attack.

The coalition forces had never expected to encounter a night attack. After all, in order to guard against any conspiracy or tricks by the Western Expedition Army, the coalition forces sent out a large number of scouts. They not only closely monitored the Liang people in Hongshi City, but also searched almost every corner outside Hongshi City.

Unfortunately, they met Sun Hao, the protagonist who had a cheat device. When four groups of heavy cavalry rushed into the coalition camp, they immediately killed the coalition soldiers and horses.

After the night attack began, the west gate of Red Stone City was slowly opened, and Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning led more than 3,000 cavalrymen and rushed towards the coalition camp.

These more than 3,000 cavalrymen, including the Black Armor Cavalry, Beiwei Cavalry, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Xiliang Iron Cavalry brought to Hongshi City by Sun Hao, totaled more than 1,000 people.

There were also more than 200 remaining members of the Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning Cavalry, more than 150 remaining members of the Blue Wolf Cavalry, and nearly 2,000 surviving cavalrymen from the left and right guards of the Western Region Army.

Looking at the allied camp in the distance, which was already in chaos, Sun Hao asked Xue Rengui beside him, "Should we add more fuel to the fire?

I can now summon at least another 1,600 heavy cavalry."

Xue Rengui said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, my lord, a great victory tonight is a foregone conclusion.

It would be better to leave those spots to the Wei Wuzu and Qin Ruishi. Next, we need to consider how to capture Iron Lion City as quickly as possible."
