In the darkness of the night, several figures appeared like ghosts.

At first, Liu Rushuang, Tie Zhan and the soldiers accompanying them were a little nervous. After all, the White Robe Army had the advantage of terrain and they could fall into an ambush if they were not careful.

However, as they went deeper into the canyon according to the defense map provided by Xia He, they soon discovered the White Robe Army.

What is even more shocking is that the enemy’s number, weapon configuration and position are exactly the same as marked on the defense map!

Everyone felt a spontaneous admiration for Xia He.

Someone sighed in a low voice:

"General Xia is simply amazing! He was able to figure out the enemy's deployment in such a short time!"

This ability is a terrifying advantage in war!

"It's been five or six days, and I'm already moldy! It's so frustrating! None of these traitors can escape!"

The group acted quickly and took out several sentries quietly.

The scouts patrolling outside were subdued one by one before they had time to react.

However, as the operation progressed, even though they launched raids in secret, they still suffered casualties.

The military proficiency of these white-robed soldiers is extremely high, and their actions are coordinated very well. They don't look like bandits who have revolted temporarily at all. They are even more elite than the regular soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!

"Hiss...Aren't these people ordinary civilians?"

Just as they were about to take down a key post, an accident occurred.

A soldier of the White Robe Army seemed to have noticed something. He turned around abruptly, his hand already on the horn at his waist, and was about to sound a warning.

At the critical moment, Xia He appeared like a ghost and chopped the soldier's neck accurately with a knife, knocking him to the ground.

Tie Zhan and others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and hurriedly thanked him in a low voice.

Xia He waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.

His brows were slightly wrinkled and his nose twitched slightly, as if he was sniffing something.

After a moment, he whispered:

"There is a faint strange fragrance in this white mist. Although it is very faint, it is indeed there. It does not look like miasma, but it is a bit strange."

Upon hearing this, everyone sniffed, but did not notice anything unusual.

Liu Rushuang asked in a low voice: "Could this strange fragrance be some kind of trick used by the enemy?"

Xia He shook his head: "Pass the order down, try not to inhale this white mist!"

As time passed, we continued to move forward, quietly eliminating dozens of sentries.

About two hours later, the group finally approached the White Robe Army's base camp.

There was an open area ahead with several tents scattered around in an orderly manner.

The number of patrolling soldiers has increased significantly, and even the sound of dogs barking can be heard from time to time. It is obvious that the security here is more stringent.

Xia He made a rough estimate and concluded that there should be about 100 to 200 White Robe Army soldiers left here.

“Phew… We’re finally here!”

It is obvious that the White Robe Army is not a temporary rebel army at all and is extremely difficult to deal with.

According to their current trend of action, as long as they succeed in infiltrating, it won’t take much effort to subdue these people.

However, just as they were about to launch the final attack, something unexpected happened!

There was a sudden commotion at the White Robe Army's base camp ahead, and then several torches lit up almost at the same time, illuminating the surroundings.

Although Xia He and the others were not completely exposed, they had obviously been discovered! Everyone was shocked. How could they be discovered when their actions were so secretive?

"How could this be? Is there something that was overlooked?"

Xia He looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and then whispered:

"Wait! I get it."

"The leader of the White Robe Army is indeed smart. They must have agreed that the sentries must report back every half an hour."

"Although it's troublesome, it can effectively deal with emergencies. Our action took too long and they noticed it!"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of breaking air suddenly rang out, and several arrows shot out from the darkness!

Xia He shouted in a low voice: "Disperse!"

Everyone dodged quickly, but arrows fell like raindrops, and it was obvious that the White Robe Army had locked on to their position.

Xia He knew that it was meaningless to hide any longer, so he immediately ordered:

"Everyone listen up, charge directly into the White Robe Army's camp and capture their leader alive!"

At the command, two hundred elite soldiers rushed down the mountain like tigers and headed straight for the White Robe Army's base camp.

Although the White Robe Army was well-trained, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack by Xia He and others.

The two groups of people engaged in a battle in an instant, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intertwined in the night, and the sounds of shouting and weapons clashing rose and fell.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, stop them!"

Xia He, Liu Rushuang and Tie Zhan broke through the crowd and were the first to penetrate the enemy camp.

However, when they rushed into the tent area, they found that all the tents looked almost identical, and they could not tell which one was where the White Robe Army general was!

Tiezhan was a little anxious, so he picked a tent and rushed in.

However, as soon as he opened the curtain, the mechanism was triggered, and several crossbow arrows shot out from all directions!

Tiezhan reacted extremely quickly, rolling out of the tent and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

He cursed with lingering fear: "There's no one inside, it's all traps, so sinister!"

Xia He was also shocked when he saw this.

The general of the White Robe Army was indeed meticulous and had actually been prepared for this move by them!

At this moment, a low horn sounded suddenly from the crowd, the sound was long and rapid, obviously conveying some signal.

Xia He's face darkened and he whispered:

"Not good! They are gathering reinforcements! The White Robe Army must have more than just these many people. If we let that general run away and they send a large force over, we'll be in trouble!"
