The remaining three hundred soldiers in the detached courtyard, along with the three marquises, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Unexpectedly, the other side used the darkness to turn their advantage into a disadvantage, leaving them with no options!

"What should we do?" asked one of the servants.

"What else can we do? The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. I suggest we hold our ground here and attack at daybreak."

"What if they come down the mountain and run away tonight?"

"No, the general said they'll wait for their master in Luoyang to arrive before they leave!"

"Who knows! Anyway, if we go there now, we definitely won't gain anything."

The three men were ordered to besiege the villa and annihilate the guards inside.

Although they didn't encounter anyone in the villa, they had already broken in.

They didn't want to be killed in the past without knowing why, only to have the chance to take those fifty taels of silver but not have the chance to spend it.

I just don't know why their enemies would play such a perverse game?

They have to come up with so many tricks, they don't dare to fight them openly and honestly.

Achoo!

At that moment, Wang Fangyi and Yan Da, who were on the side of the mountain ridge, sneezed at the same time.

I had already packed my things and was supposed to leave first thing tomorrow morning.

However, Liu Wei was summoned to the palace at the last minute. At the same time, Liu Wei sent someone to report that there would be an operation in the area around Beiman Mountain tonight. He told Wang Fangyi and Yan Da to be careful and to abandon their warhorses and retreat over the mountain if they did not see Liu Wei.

Upon receiving the news, the two immediately used the woods as cover to hide all their warhorses in a valley on the north slope.

Wang Fangyi deduced that the attacking enemy was not many, but it would definitely outnumber his own forces several times over.

Tomorrow will surely be a fierce battle. They also have to escort Liu Wei to Youzhou, so preserving their own forces will definitely be their top priority.

Therefore, the two set up traps on the north slope to maximize the casualties of the enemy and avoid close combat.

Before Liu Wei could return, the enemy appeared and attacked.

Seeing that so many people had come, the two left an empty courtyard and then lured the enemy away to eliminate them one by one!

Wang Fangyi rubbed his nose: "If it were to ensure that all the brothers could stay and protect our lord intact, I would have engaged them in hand-to-hand combat long ago."

"As long as we're still alive, why worry about not having a chance to kill the enemy!" Yan Da said solemnly.

Now that they have been attacked, wouldn't the lord in Luoyang be in danger?

Suddenly, points of light appeared in the direction of Luoyang City, followed by three large fires burning fiercely.

"Commander Wang! The lord's message has arrived, ordering us to retreat and rendezvous at Mengjin Ferry."
