"If we lose this battle to the Han people, then let them come and seize Yunzhong."

"How can we let this prince of the Han Dynasty succeed?"

"Back then, they were like dogs fighting each other, the fiercer the better!"

"We'll come back stronger then."

Everyone agreed.

Xu Buxian meant that everyone should fight to the death, and if they won, everything would come back!

It doesn't matter if we lose. At worst, we can give up Yunzhong and escape to the southern desert, making Yunzhong a bait for the Han and Xianbei people to fight over.

——

"Cheng Le is just twenty li ahead!"

On the vast grasslands of Yunzhong County, a magnificent troop of soldiers marched in a long, winding line, stretching for four or five miles.

The large banner bearing the character "Liu" fluttered in the wind, making a sharp, rustling sound.

One hundred Imperial Guards were dispatched like a net to gather intelligence in places twenty miles or even further away before the army set off, acting as the army's eyes and ears.

Hundreds of scouts, like eagle eyes, were scattered within a ten-mile radius of the army, able to detect and react to any disturbance immediately.

After marching for two days, they arrived outside Chengle City.

This Chengle City, backed by the Huanggan River, is the castle built by Wei Qing when he attacked the Xiongnu in the north.

Unexpectedly, it has now become a barrier for the Xiongnu to resist the advance of the Han people.

Once this place is taken, Cloud City will open its chest to Liu Wei, revealing its alluring curves.

"Pass down the order: the entire army shall set up camp ten miles east of Chengle, near the Huanggan River."

"The city's defenders will not dare to engage in battle rashly upon seeing our army arrive."

As the commander of the army, Yao Guangxiao immediately issued military orders.

"Strategist, why don't we just use arrows to turn Chengle into a dead city, just like we did in Wujin?"

Li Su was already deeply impressed by the new long-range crossbow.

Liu Wei somehow conjured up so many awesome weapons, just like how three thousand strong men suddenly appeared over Daihai.

These things were beyond Li Su's comprehension; the only thing he could do was to regard Liu Wei as a god.

Stand on God's side, and you can destroy whomever you want!

Five thousand crossbows and 150,000 arrows—even if Cheng Le were made of iron, they would be reduced to dust.

"Hehe! This humble monk has other plans. Lieutenant Li, Captain Zhang, and Captain Liu, you may set up camp as I instruct."

Yao Guangxiao, however, pretended to be mysterious.
