The archer holding the telescope had a flushed face, partly from the excitement and shock of seeing the strange object, and partly from the anger at seeing the imperial court's siege of the killing cavalry.
"Amazing, this is truly amazing!"
"Young master! There really are imperial troops hidden in that mountain hollow. I saw that group of people wearing armor and holding shields. If it weren't for this telescope, wouldn't we have fallen into the trap of those scoundrels!"
"Our General Zhou is absolutely right. With the young master here, all difficulties can be easily resolved!"
"Mr. Mighty!"
After the initial excitement subsided, everyone looked at Zhou Cheng with admiration.
The rifles alone were enough to instill fear in them.
The telescopes used to scout out enemy positions today are beyond the comprehension of this group. In the past, who would have believed that there was such a strange object in the world that could see the scene several miles away?
No!
It cannot be called seeing clearly.
It should be able to see even the subtlest expressions on General Wei's face!
"Damn it!"
General Wei squinted and shrank into the snow. He strained to see into the distance, and could only make out a dark mass of more than a hundred people who had stopped: "Why did Zhou Cheng's group stop moving?"
"What exactly are they doing?"
"At this distance, Zhou Cheng couldn't possibly have discovered our ambush! We're surrounded by snow, and the terrain is high. Could it be... that Zhou Cheng is being overly cautious because the terrain is unfavorable?"
General Wei couldn't think of any other reason. It couldn't possibly be that Zhou Cheng saw the imperial army lying in ambush in the snow from two kilometers away, could it? That's unrealistic!
General Wei gritted his teeth, his face grim, and silently urged Zhou Cheng to come quickly.
It moved!
It moved!
The group of over a hundred people stopped on the snow track for a short while before riding their horses toward the mountain pass.
"Okay, okay."
"Zhou Cheng and the others have arrived."
"If their numbers are indeed only a hundred or so, soldiers, prepare yourselves. Once Zhou Cheng and his men reach the main road, fire arrows at them. Don't give them time to draw their weapons. Try to kill them before they can react."
"Catch them off guard and utterly defeat them."
General Wei couldn't help but grin as he imagined the scene of a great victory.
Upon hearing the orders relayed to them, the imperial soldiers were all poised and ready to go.
Da da da—
It's getting closer.
Zhou Cheng led a hundred archers, along with Black Rat and others, on horseback at breakneck speed.
As Zhou Chengli drew closer and closer to the road in the mountain pass, until it was only a hundred or two meters away... the hearts of the imperial soldiers hidden in the mountain pass were in their throats, and their bowstrings were drawn taut.
We're just waiting for Zhou Cheng and the others to break into the encirclement and shoot them down!
However,
In that very instant.
"stop!"
"Throw it!"
The sudden sound came from Zhou Cheng's mouth.
General Wei was stunned by what was happening. The words "Shoot Zhou Cheng to death!" were still stuck in his throat when he was taken aback by the scene before him.
From the pupils of General Wei and the imperial soldiers...
You can see dark grenades being thrown into the air, tracing an arc as they fly towards the ravine, before crashing to the ground!
General Wei: "?"
All the imperial soldiers: "?"
Has Zhou Cheng gone mad?
What is he doing?
"General Wei, what is this...?"
"boom!!!"
In an instant, flames shot into the sky and thunder roared.
