In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...

Chapter 73: The Killer

Late at night, everything is quiet.

More than twenty cavalrymen slowly walked out of a woods and looked towards a campsite not far away in the moonlight.

These twenty-odd cavalrymen were Sun Hao, Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu, Pan Feng, Xiong Kuohai, Pei Yuanqing, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

On the night when the Western Region Army's left guard failed in its attack on the coalition camp, Sun Hao received the latest news from the Seven Banners Gate, including the 250,000 reinforcements from the Shaye, Yanzi, Shache, and Qumo countries.

The third batch of 100,000 reinforcements from Wensu State and the second batch of 150,000 reinforcements from Puwan State will arrive at Lishui City soon.

In that case, the coalition forces would have added 500,000 troops, and the total strength would reach an astonishing 1.2 million, which immediately made Sun Hao feel the pressure doubled.

So Sun Hao decided to use his trump card, which was the remaining 14 million conversion points in the "Hero Converter".

These more than 14 million conversion points were absorbed by Sun Hao before he led his army to leave Iron Lion City in order to deal with the second coalition army formed by the Western Regions countries.

The reason why I didn't use up all the conversion values in the "Hero Converter" at that time was, on the one hand, because of the logistical pressure, and on the other hand, it was for tonight.

In the camp not far from Sun Hao and his group, lived the 80,000-strong army sent by the Shaye Kingdom to aid the Gule Kingdom.

Sun Hao, along with Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu and others, quietly left the Western Region Army camp outside Lishui City under the cover of night, and then bypassed the coalition camp that stretched for dozens of miles, preparing to repeat the night attack outside Hongshi City.

However, Sun Hao set the target of this night attack on the reinforcements from the Shaye Kingdom.

Moreover, according to the plan jointly formulated by Sun Hao and Qin Qiong, after the night attack is successful, Sun Hao will lead his troops to pretend to be reinforcements from the Shaye Kingdom and deceive the coalition camp.

We must strive to eliminate the 700,000 coalition forces outside Lishui City before reinforcements from other countries in the Western Regions arrive.

After coming out of the woods where he had been hiding for a day and a night, Sun Hao immediately used the "Hero Converter" and spent 10 million conversion points to exchange for 5,000 Black Armor Cavalry, 5,000 Beiwei Cavalry, 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 5,000 White Horse Volunteers.

Among them, 20,000 heavy cavalry will serve as the main force of tonight's night attack, and 5,000 white horse volunteers will be dispersed around the Shaye army camp to intercept and kill the fleeing Shaye officers and soldiers.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Sun Hao hopes that the night attack tonight can completely wipe out the 80,000-strong army of Shaye Kingdom, without letting a single person escape.

After exchanging 25,000 cavalrymen, Sun Hao saw that there were still more than 4.3 million conversion points left in the "Brave General Converter", so he exchanged another 10,000 vanguard warriors.

These 10,000 advance soldiers will cooperate with 20,000 heavy cavalry to launch a night attack on the 80,000 Shaye army. In addition, these advance soldiers will also be needed to pretend to be reinforcements of the Shaye Kingdom. After all, most of the 80,000 Shaye army are infantry.

As for the remaining 1.3 million conversion points, Sun Hao did not use them again, preparing to keep them for emergency use.

The army of Shaye Kingdom never expected to be attacked at night.

According to intelligence from the coalition forces, the main force of the Liang army in the Gule Kingdom is confronting the 700,000 coalition forces outside Lishui City. The coalition commander, Duke Aisaizi, demands that 80,000 Shaye troops go to Lishui City as soon as possible to join the coalition forces.

The general who led the 80,000-strong Shaye army was named Pizite. He was once a fierce general under the command of Sun Hao's uncle Liu Dongqi. Liu Dongqi also personally taught Pizite military tactics and battle formations.

During the process of Shaye Country's purge of Liu Dongqi's military forces, Piszt took the initiative to draw a clear line with Liu Dongqi from the beginning, and also acted as the vanguard in the purge of his colleagues.

The current king of Shaye Kingdom values Pisit very much because he is proficient in military tactics and battle formations, and promoted Pisit to become the general of Shaye Kingdom.

Pizt was suddenly awakened from his sleep by a nightmare. He dreamed that several of his colleagues who were executed by him during the purge rushed towards him, covered in blood.

The wives and daughters of those dead colleagues were later taken over by Pizt.

A personal guard who heard the noise outside the tent lifted the tent curtain and walked in, "General, what's wrong?"

Piszt wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, "It's okay, just another nightmare.

Tomorrow, when we pass by the city of Gul, please remind me to find a Mosha missionary and have him read me some scriptures tonight."

Just as Pisit finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shaking, which made Pisit's face change instantly, "Oh no! Enemy attack! Quick, have someone sound the alarm!"

Unfortunately, at this time, no matter what order Pizt gave, it was too late.

Because they had not considered the possibility of an enemy attack, the army of the Shaye Kingdom did not build a camp when they camped, but only set up thousands of tents.

This greatly facilitated the night attack by 20,000 heavily armored cavalry and 10,000 vanguard soldiers. Soon the entire camp of the Shaye army was in chaos, with Shaye officers and soldiers being hunted everywhere.

When Piszt saw the Liang army's extremely powerful fighting power and large numbers in the night attack, he knew that it was impossible to gather troops to resist. He immediately led more than a hundred of his personal guards and rushed out of the chaotic camp on horseback.

However, Pizt, along with more than a hundred personal guards, was entangled by a group of light cavalrymen wearing white horses and white armor.

In the end, Pizt, who was very skilled in martial arts, and his more than one hundred personal guards were all killed by the bows and arrows of the White Horse Volunteers, while the group of White Horse Volunteers who ambushed Pizt suffered no casualties.

When Liu Dongqi was still the general of Shaye Kingdom, the combat effectiveness of Shaye Kingdom's army was still quite strong.
