The winding procession resembled a long dragon, constantly moving forward on the ground. Although the marching speed was indeed slow, it would take about another day to reach Qingyuan County.
Given the current situation, if they continue to let the other party continue like this and directly rush to Qingyuan County, the pressure will definitely be immense. Ning Ye doesn't intend to waste any more words; the other party is probably going to have a very enjoyable night tonight.
Regardless of the era or the location, marching at night is a major taboo, so as darkness fell, the enemy had no choice but to rest.
The army's encampment was not supported by everyone; they simply lit a few campfires, seemingly preparing to spend the night on the ground.
However, it's understandable, since it's not cold at night in the middle of summer, and with a fire around, there won't be any problems.
Ning Ye is really in a bit of a problem. After all, they're not setting up camp, so it will be quite difficult for them to make a big fuss later.
But the situation is already like this, so we have no choice but to go ahead. We can't exactly tell them that we're getting back up and setting up camp again.
Ning Ye glanced at the general location and said, "Wang Wu, lead two hundred men straight in from the middle. Don't stop or slash along the way. Once you've passed through, retreat immediately without hesitation."
"This subordinate obeys the order."
Ning Ye then said to the right, "Xiao Qing, lead a hundred men to attack from the right. While you are fighting, shout that the army is pressing in. Of course, do not stop. After you break through, retreat immediately."
Xiaoqing clasped her hands in greeting and said, "I will obey your command, young master."
Finally, Ning Ye's gaze fell on Liu Tianci. "Actually, I don't want you to participate in this battle. After all, you have no choice. I can give you 150 men on horseback so you can charge in from the left. However, you are also not allowed to linger in battle."
Liu Tianci said in a simple and honest manner, "Don't worry, young master, I can still understand, and I definitely won't disobey."
Ning Ye then put on his helmet. "The rest of you, come with me to meet the central command tent. If we have the chance, let's see if we can capture the leader first."
As night deepened, Ning Ye knew the time to act had come, and everyone was ready.
Wang Wu was the first to charge, and he truly deserved the title of a brute. The moment he stormed into the camp, he immediately began a bloody feast.
The simultaneous attack on three sides threw the sleeping rebels into a panic.
Some people still don't understand what's going on.
They found their heads had inexplicably fallen to the ground, while others had just picked up their weapons when they were kicked to the ground by a horse's hoof. Then they saw more cavalry coming, with no idea how many people were coming.
Instantly, the entire camp descended into chaos, and the urgent beat of drums began: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Following Ning Ye's command, Wang Wu and his men showed no reluctance to leave their mark. Although they left behind many lives, they did not linger in battle. Their only objective was to traverse the entire camp.
However, the profits of these tens of thousands of people could not be easily destroyed by them. When they had advanced to a certain point, some people had already gathered together, and the soldiers began to be able to stop them.
At this moment, Ning Ye quietly set out, leading his fifty men straight to the central command tent.
Roars and slashes fill the air; fierce battles are everywhere. Sometimes, even a single moment can determine life or death. The slightest hesitation on the battlefield can lead to one's immediate demise.
With the added advantage of cavalry, these three sharp arrows were indeed almost impossible to stop.
Chu Junbao, who had been awakened inside the central command tent, was also looking cold. "It seems that there are still some people who don't understand what's going on, and they still dare to do such a thing."
Chu Yuesheng glanced at the situation outside. "Although it's difficult to make out in the darkness, the enemy's numbers shouldn't be many, but they are all cavalry, and they look to be very elite."
"Even so what? Do you think my tens of thousands of men can't stop them? We must capture them all and find out where they came from, how dare they be so bold."
Suddenly, Chu Yuesheng's expression changed. "Guards, protect His Highness!"
The guards surrounding the central command tent were all genuine personal guards, having been raised by the Prince's mansion for an unknown period of time; each one could be considered a top soldier.
The moment these five hundred men heard the summons, they all sprang into action, instantly surrounding the entire central command tent.
In the darkness of night, Ning Ye was already quietly approaching, appearing more like a demon from the night.
Chu Junbao's expression turned even uglier. "The audacity of these people has truly surprised me."
Chu Yuesheng said, "General Zhou, if possible, take him down directly. I think he is the enemy general who attacked this time."
Zhou Tianping, a burly man, nodded. "Thinking that a mere few dozen people can rush in is nothing short of wishful thinking."
Zhou Tianping was dressed in a tiger and leopard gold armor, but he didn't look imposing enough. In his hand was a long-handled broadsword that looked quite heavy.
When Ning Ye finally charged forward, the five hundred men had already formed a battle formation. The cavalry seemed to have run into a wall, and their unstoppable charge was finally halted.
After the cavalrymen in front are knocked down and thrown to the ground, someone will immediately fill the gap, and may even drag these cavalrymen directly into the formation to kill them.
The speed at which these people reacted made Ning Ye realize that he absolutely could not force his way in, otherwise he would surely meet a gruesome end. These guys were no ordinary people.
Zhou Xianping rode his horse straight towards Ningye, his large sword dragging on the ground as he rode, leaving deep furrows in the earth.
"Come, come, let Grandpa Zhou see who these villains are, daring to launch a sneak attack under the cover of darkness."
Ning Ye wasn't afraid either; he wanted to see what kind of skills the other party had.
The moment the two generals clashed, they felt the immense power emanating from the weapons. The single strike produced a metallic clang that was almost unbearable for those around them.
In just a few breaths, Ning Ye and Zhou Tianping had exchanged blows dozens of times, and for a time neither of them could do anything about the other.
Zhou Tianping could not accept such an outcome. After all, he was one of the most important people under Jingyang Wang, and it would have been impossible for him to be sent here if he did not have absolute trust.
