"It seems they saw that our defenses were strong and their sneak attack failed, so they all went back long ago!"

"Then, General, let a few of us stay and patrol the night, and the rest of you go back! Everyone is cold and sleepy."

The officers made their requests one by one.

"Okay! Let's go back and rest!" Zhu Ling's eyelids were also drooping.

The soldiers gradually dispersed, leaving behind only a few dozen men to guard the area.

Zhu Ling was planning to go back.

Sudden!

Okay, okay, okay!

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, rapid and powerful.

Damn it! Here we go again!

Zhu Ling jolted awake, all sleepiness gone, and hurriedly woke her men to organize a defensive formation.

Another busy period ensued.

This time, however, there were no arrows, nor any human figures; only the continuous sound of horses' hooves in the darkness.

This made Zhu Ling very depressed.

What exactly does the other party want to do?

The soldiers also nervously watched the darkness.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves came to an abrupt halt.

Silence returned to the darkness.

"Damn it, they're deliberately making noise in one spot to lure us all out, trying to wear us down!"

Zhu Ling finally understood that the sound of horses' hooves came from a single location.

The other party merely made a noise, which kept them busy for a while.

Zhu Ling was so angry she couldn't speak, but there was nothing she could do.

What if the enemy really launches an attack and raids our camp?

After a while, there was no movement in the darkness, and Zhu Ling felt sleepy.

Just to be on the safe side, he left five hundred soldiers to remain awake and defend.

An hour passed, and a dark cloud blocked the new moon, making the night sky even darker.

Rumble!

The sound of horses' hooves rang out.
