A profound silence fell over the city and its surroundings. The bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, plunging the world into darkness.
The area outside the city was littered with corpses, a scene of desolation after the great battle.
Inside the city.
The wicked man suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. After two hours of rest, he was refreshed and full of energy again.
"Erniu, select a thousand Black Dragon Armored Soldiers to accompany me on a night raid. Burn their supplies, or at the very least, prevent them from getting any rest!"
"yes!"
Erniu, who was standing next to him, immediately opened his eyes and got up to start selecting a suitable candidate.
Shortly afterward, the selection of men and horses was completed.
The wicked man led his thousand Black Dragon Armored Soldiers silently toward the Han army's garrison outside the city.
"Stay close to me in a bit. If we find any supplies, burn them. If not, don't linger in battle!"
"We obey!"
"Let's go, kill—!"
The wicked husband slapped the horse's rump hard with his large hand, and the warhorse, in pain, galloped away.
"Boom... Boom..."
The sound of horses' hooves was exceptionally clear in the dark and silent night.
In an instant, shouts rang out from the Han army's garrison: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Qin army is here!"
Instantly, the Han army camp descended into chaos, with countless Han soldiers scrambling out of their tents. Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Armored Army emerged from the darkness like ghosts, charging straight into the Han army's encampment.
The wicked man took the lead, brandishing his spear. Wherever he went, Han soldiers fell one after another, and he tore through the Han soldiers' defenses single-handedly.
"Hahaha, Han soldiers, get up and pee!" The wicked man took a deep breath and suddenly roared. His voice, like a booming bell, echoed throughout the entire Han army camp.
The South Korean generals were jolted awake from their sleep, hastily rising and emerging from their tents to try and reassure the troops and organize a defense. But the Black Dragon Armored Army swept through the enemy like a whirlwind, making it difficult for the South Korean forces to mount an effective resistance.
The commotion startled Bao Yuan awake. He disregarded everything else, grabbed his sword, and left the command tent.
"Don't panic, could it be a Qin army attack?!"
"Yes, Commander, but the number is not large!" The guards who were closely protecting the commander's tent quickly replied.
"It's time to retreat!" Having achieved his goal, the wicked man immediately gave the order to retreat. The Black Dragon Armored Army vanished into the night with the same speed as they had arrived.
Just as Bao Yuan was about to lead his personal guards forward, he heard the shouts of the soldiers.
"They've retreated! The Qin army has retreated!"
The South Korean generals watched their departing figures, their hearts filled with anger and helplessness. They knew that this night's attack would have a huge impact on the upcoming battle.
Before long, the South Korean military base returned to calm.
This minor incident did not affect the Han soldiers. There would certainly be another major battle tomorrow, and they had to seize every second to rest in order to have enough energy to cope with the upcoming battle.
Outside the South Korean military base, in the dark mountains and forests.
"Is everything ready?!"
"Ready, bro? Shall we use it now?!"
Hearing Erniu's response, the wicked man shook his head and laughed, "Wait half an hour until they fall asleep before we start."
Erniu chuckled, nodded, and said nothing more.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the wicked husband winked at Erniu beside him.
Erniu immediately understood and growled, "Brothers, light the fire! We'll leave after we're done shooting!"
......
"Giddy up!"
"Set fire to prevent bedwetting, the South Korean soldiers are getting up to pee!"
Thousands of flaming arrows rained down on the South Korean army's encampment, setting many tents and other structures ablaze.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky inside the South Korean military base.
The Han army, who had just fallen asleep, was forcibly woken up again. But when they went out to search for Qin's whereabouts, they could only hear loud laughter coming from afar.
That night, the South Korean army was harassed and couldn't rest all night, while the only price the villain paid was that he and his thousand soldiers couldn't get any rest. It seemed like a very worthwhile deal.
With two black eyes, Bao Yuan was so angry that he cursed, "You wicked man! I respected you as a man, and you actually resorted to such despicable means!"
A bitter feeling welled up inside him. These people lived in his own city, while he, a member of the family, was relegated to the wilderness. If he were in their shoes, he wouldn't have missed the chance to harass them either.
Meanwhile, on the other side, as soon as the wicked man returned to the city, he immediately appointed Pan Ning and Le Ye as the commanders for the day, each leading 50,000 troops to fight against the Han army.
Bao Yuan initially thought that Evil Husband's plan was to harass the Han army in order to give the Qin army a chance to rest, since the Han army had lost 60,000 to 70,000 men and the Qin army had suffered around 40,000 to 50,000 casualties.
But then they heard that the Qin army had come to challenge them, and their commander was none other than that wicked man.
Having been through many battles, he quickly understood his husband's intentions after a moment's thought. Enraged, he laughed and said, "You wicked husband, did you really believe your nonsense about a fair and square duel?"
"Men, muster the troops and prepare for battle!"
......
Four or five days passed in a row.
Now, the South Korean army seems to have had all its energy drained away by Xiaoqian; they are all withered, with dark circles under their eyes and pale, bloodless faces.
These four or five days were truly unbearable for them. That wicked husband, perhaps having taken some kind of magic potion, would come to harass them every night in the middle of the night, and would do it all night long.
I thought I'd be free by dawn, but this guy is something else. He's not idle during the day either, sending people to harass me, surrounding me without fighting, or making a lot of noise but doing little.
Bao Yuan saw the soldiers' exhaustion and was anxious, so much so that he elevated his opinion of the wicked man's wisdom to the level of established veterans like Lian Po.
He believed that the wicked man's initial righteousness was a deception, a facade of integrity designed to lure him into a fight.
They then used these methods to harass the South Korean military, putting them in their current predicament.
In this light, the wicked man is truly a man of great talent!
People say that my wife's husband is wicked, brave but reckless, and that I have truly been deceived by him.
"Coach! Coach!!"
The general's shout startled Bao Yuan awake. He asked weakly, "Is the Qin army here again?!"
The lieutenant shook his head violently, looking dejected, and said, "His Majesty has sent word that Qin general Wang Jian has led his troops to ambush and intercept the Chu reinforcements."
"Now... we can only rely on ourselves!"
Upon hearing this, Bao Yuan remained remarkably calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.
"Commander, what do we do?!"
The lieutenant said urgently, "Our soldiers are demoralized, physically exhausted, and their morale has plummeted to rock bottom. How can we possibly withstand the Qin army?!"
Bao Yuan took a deep breath and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, "If we continue to drag this out, we'll be like frogs in lukewarm water... a dead end awaits us."
After saying that, he seemed to pinch his throbbing brow, and his expression gradually became resolute and iron-blooded. "Order the army to assemble and fight the Qin army to the death."
