"How could this be..."
She Kou brandished his sword in front, and his guards formed an arc to shield him. He looked incredulously at the "Southern Chen Army" swimming around behind him. No, not only that, but there were also many soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the "Hongsheng Army" and the Ye Army... However, the strange thing was, how could the three armies be mixed together?
This is utterly absurd!
But She Kou quickly realized what was happening, especially when his gaze inadvertently swept over the "Southern Chen Army" who were shooting at them with javelins, and he suddenly understood everything.
Where did these "Southern Chen Army" and "Hongsheng Army" come from? They are clearly just Ye Army soldiers in disguise!
As far as he knew, neither the Southern Chen army nor the Hongsheng army had deployed javelin throwers for this trial of military affairs among the six states.
However, when the Ye army was fighting against the Southern Chen and Hongsheng Kingdom, they sent out a group of javelin throwers, and Mu Jin even brought back a unique javelin to study.
And now, what the enemy is holding in their hands, the spear that has pierced the bodies of their Julu soldiers, is precisely this kind of slender, hooked spear.
The more She Kou investigated, the more chills she felt throughout her body.
If these people who are vying to be the "Southern Chen Army" and the "Hongsheng Army" are indeed the Ye Army, then who are the people who are jumping into the trenches now?
There is no way the Ye army could have so many troops stockpiled in the camp, unless... unless these Ye soldiers are also disguised as others. Considering the previous and subsequent speculations, the most likely possibility is that they have switched places.
The Ye army was actually the real Southern Chen army and Hongsheng army, while the Ye army, wearing the fine armor of the Southern Chen and Hongsheng, launched the attack on the Julu army.
By the time She Kou had figured everything out, it was already too late.
But he really didn't understand why the Southern Chen Army and the Hongsheng Army would be driven by the Ye Kingdom to fight and cover for them. This was an incomprehensible thing. Not to mention he couldn't have imagined it, even Mu Jin probably couldn't have imagined it.

Ye Camp
Mu Jin, enraged by falling into the pit, was further aggravated by the sudden backward fall, causing him to spit out blood and his face to contort into a terrifying grimace.
Indeed, he never expected that he would be caught off guard and suffer another attack from the Ye army.
Looking down at the "Southern Chen Army" and "Hongsheng Army" gathered around the edge of the pit, he struggled to his feet with the help of others. Looking back, he saw that those people in the pit, who were also dressed as the Southern Chen Army and Hongsheng Army, stood up as if they had risen from the dead.
Mu Jin pointed an arm and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"General Mu, that's quite amusing. Who are we? Do you really not know? Or are you afraid to guess further?"
A sentence thrown down from above struck Mu Jin so hard that his head nearly exploded, and he almost vomited blood again.
"The Ye Army...you are the Ye Army? Then who are those people outside?"
"Who? It's naturally your soldiers and the corpse not far from you. As the commander, General Mu is quite blind. It's one thing that you can't recognize us imposters, but you can't even recognize your own personal guards. It shows just how arrogant you are."
The one who answered was the same voice as before, and it was also the person who interrupted the one who almost gave himself away inside the tent. He was Zhen Daoping, the Left Colonel of the Outer Garrison.
He was prepared when he fell; he grabbed the net and was pulled up the slope by his companions, so he did not fall with Mu Jin and the others.
He met Mu Jin's furious and crazed eyes and said, "Mu Jin, you have lost."

Outside the Ye camp, once She Kou realized what Zheng Quchi had done behind his back, a chill ran down his spine. But it was too late. His three thousand troops had already suffered a third loss in a short time, and the Ye army had captured the three crossbows. If they were to point their crossbows at them—
At this moment, She Kou was clearly struck hard by Zheng Quchi, causing his thoughts to become chaotic. He would think about the most terrifying and worst possible scenarios without considering the possibilities or feasibility.
Zheng Quchi will not use the triple-bow crossbow of their Julu Kingdom at all, at least not for now, because after she personally studied it, she found that the triple-bow crossbow of their Julu Kingdom was far more troublesome to operate than she had previously estimated.
In pursuit of power and range, they increased the complexity of the triple-bow crossbow. She was able to thoroughly study and understand the intricate procedures, but it would be too difficult for others to learn and teach it on the spot.
Seeing that the Julu army was being routed by the Ye army, unable to advance or retreat, and with the Hongsheng army and the Southern Chen army climbing out of the trenches from behind, they were caught in a pincer movement, unable to advance or retreat, and their psychological defenses were almost broken.
However, even without the coach's orders, they will fight to the very end.
There were only a little over two thousand javelins, which were hastily cast by the Ordnance Bureau. In the early stages, the Julu Army was caught off guard, so the accuracy rate was high. However, once they reacted and began to parry and dodge, the hit rate dropped drastically, to three or four out of ten.
With over two thousand arrows almost used up and the enemy still having half left, it was time to go forward and fight.
The original Ye army was naturally no match for them. After all, the equipment and weapons of the Julu army were far superior to those of the Ye army. Moreover, in terms of individual combat ability, this ragtag group of soldiers was no match for the other side.
However, the Ye army has now cleverly replaced its equipment with that of the Southern Chen army and the Hongsheng army. This has at least made up for some of the gap, but the most important part of the battle relies entirely on numbers to win.
As for the Hongsheng Army and the Southern Chen Army, they were merely used as human sacrifices. It was impossible to expect them to be of one mind with the Ye Army and fight the enemy with all their might. They were more likely to choose to protect themselves.
However, this alone is enough. As for putting psychological pressure on the Julu army, making them panic and lose their composure, it is enough.
Soon, the Julu army visibly weakened and was defeated. Even though She Kou fought against ten men and was extremely powerful, he was still no match for four fists.
