"You're still using me to do things? Don't you trust that any of these bastards will escape my care just because they're lucky? Or is it because I'm incompetent?"
"As long as I let anyone go, you won't even need to tell the commander to chop off my head; I'll just chop it off myself."
Li Cunxiao stood atop the city wall. His eyes, like those of an eagle, gazed into the distance.
His eyes couldn't miss a single move the other person made.
"Just wait and see when they start to sweat. We need to make sure they understand."
Meanwhile, Huo Qubing's troops were waiting there.
"General Huo, the enemy must have already taken action?" Just then, a soldier who had been lying on the ground suddenly stood up. He had just heard that the enemy had started their attack from the back of the mountain.
The back mountain is covered with rocks, and whenever a large group passes by, rocks tumble down, the sound carrying far.
Huo Qubing nodded after hearing this. At this moment, not only the people responsible for gathering intelligence heard it clearly, but Huo Qubing also heard it clearly. No matter what kind of people the other side was, he already knew what they were planning to do.
"Pour all these places with hot oil. As soon as the enemy comes, we'll set them all on fire. Do you all understand?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They had already set up all sorts of traps and mechanisms, and everyone withdrew.
Just as Han Xin had predicted, as dawn was approaching, these beasts had already quietly sneaked into the military camp.
The people of the Persian Empire were incredibly excited. At this moment, this was something they had never imagined or anticipated before.
From time to time, the sound of snoring could be heard in the distance.
"I never expected that we would enter the city so easily with His Highness the Persian Prince."
"Those beasts in the city never dreamed that we could sneak in so easily. These bastards thought we were outside the city, that we were building engineering equipment in preparation for an operation."
"These people are a bunch of idiots. Expecting them to do anything is wishful thinking and a pipe dream."
"How will they die? They won't understand that we have 1,000 ways, 10,000 ways to kill them."
Everyone was incredibly excited. They never imagined things would be so simple, so easy.
More and more people have gathered in the military camp.
"Your Highness, we already have over 10,000 men inside the camp. I think we should launch an attack now. We absolutely cannot give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of us. We must make them understand that we have enough men to fight them this time."
Upon hearing this, the Persian prince nodded repeatedly. At this moment, this was the happiest thing for him, and the thing he was most willing to do. He had waited for so long, and now this was the moment he had been waiting for.
"I'm giving the order to prepare for the attack. We need to make it clear to them that if they want to oppose us, they're practically asking for death. We have 1,000 ways, 10,000 ways to kill them."
"Don't be polite to these beasts."
"I am Fatty, the great doctor," he instantly drew the curved sword from his waist. The sword gleamed in the moonlight, and everyone present became excited, shouting and yelling. Just then, they saw the vultures circling overhead.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Look, isn't this vulture the one that was originally on this Superstar Internet Storage? Now it seems like there are only us people inside this giant baby. Does this mean that something bad is going to happen to us?"
The Persian prince had by this time realized the situation was dire. Moreover, he noticed a pungent odor in the air, an odor that made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Can you all smell something? What is this smell?"
Just then, more and more people felt something wet beneath their feet. They looked down, wondering what it was. Logically, this was a military camp, specifically a camp within the city of Flowing Sands.
Where did all that water come from in the military camp? They had no idea what it was.
"Your Highness, I realize something is very wrong. I think we should retreat immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
To think we can retreat now is simply wishful thinking, a pipe dream. Where can we retreat to?
There was nowhere to retreat.
The empire's army is growing larger and larger.
They rushed from the mountain road into the military camp, which was packed with people. At this moment, they only had one way out: to quickly fight their way into the city.
At that very moment, Han Xin had already begun his operation. The military camp was filled with tens of thousands of people from the Persian Empire.
"Brothers, prepare to fire."
Han Xin roared, and a gunshot rang out.
At that moment, Huo Qubing had also received Han Xin's order, and he quickly swung his hand downwards.
The booming sound of cannons rang out continuously, and a dense barrage of shells flew into the military camp.
The shells exploded rapidly in the military camp, sparks flying everywhere, and hot shrapnel scattered among the Persian soldiers, who were blown to pieces with limbs flying everywhere.
The cannon fire continued, one explosion after another.
The shockwave from the explosion sent all the Persian soldiers flying.
Soon, the gasoline and diesel fuel beneath their feet burst into flames.
Once the flames started, they were impossible to extinguish, reaching heights of over ten meters. The Persian soldiers were standing on gasoline, which, once ignited, would create an explosive explosion.
Since the gasoline had already evaporated into the air, the people quickly caught fire.
Even from dozens of miles away, the towering flames within the city could be seen, leaving everyone stunned. The Persian soldiers inside the city were also completely terrified.
"What on earth happened? I never expected things to turn out like this."
"How did such a big fire suddenly break out? What was that explosion? Was it thunder?"
"Where else could there be such a loud explosion besides thunder?"
