Chapter 162: Taking the Hook



At three o'clock in the morning, rows of soldiers on the training ground were all solemn. They were all soldiers selected to participate in this operation. Although there were more than a thousand people standing on the field, not a single sound was made.

Standing in front was General Cheng Wuan. He glanced at the soldiers in front of him with a serious expression, and had already explained everything that needed to be said and explained.

After Song Sanniang made sure that everyone was present, she made a gesture and took the lead in riding the horse.

Wen Qing and Wen Mo were her adjutants, and they were also equipped with war horses. The rest of the soldiers could only run and follow her. After all, war horses were a scarce resource, and only some generals were qualified to be equipped with war horses.

Three men rode horses in front to lead the way, followed by soldiers. Soon the school martial arts field was empty.

Only then did Cheng Wuan dare to look in the direction where Song Sanniang left, then he retracted his gaze and returned to the tent to calm down.

Soon, the enemy camp that had claimed the life of the original owner appeared in front of them. Song Sanniang took a look and saw that the patrols in the camp were visibly lax. It seemed that the barbarians were confident in their own military strength and were not worried about the surprise attack of Ming Qi's army at all.

In the darkness, Song Sanniang sneered. She was not worried at all. With a traitor inside, no matter how detailed and precise the raid plan was, it would not succeed. She was doing this for her to see, just waiting for her to take the bait.

The soldiers behind him had already adjusted their status and were now quietly waiting for orders from their leader Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang came in hastily and at a bad timing, as the raid was to be carried out two hours earlier. This time was only enough for her to explain to her father, the general, that there was a traitor in the army and that the raid plan had been exposed.

But they were not without a chance of winning. The barbarians wanted to ambush them, so they took advantage of their own tactic, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, in order to burn their food supplies.

Cheng Wuan hesitated for a moment at first. The barbarians were strong and especially good at riding and shooting. The focus of this surprise attack was to attack, but could it still be called a sneak attack if the enemy knew about it?

After listening to Song Sanniang's plan, he felt that there was a great possibility of success. Looking at his daughter's determined eyes, he finally agreed.

So what if he disagreed? The barbarians were now well prepared, and as for them, the previous emperor had passed away, the new emperor had ascended the throne, and the situation in the capital was chaotic. The memorial he submitted did not cause any waves at all.

He also heard that a criminal from the Xie family had escaped from the brothel and the new emperor was busy trying to catch him.

Even Cheng Wuan, a warrior, admired the character of the old man Xie Xiang. He was truly a rare civil servant in the Mingqi court who was honest and dedicated to the people. He also scoffed at the accusation of embezzlement of disaster relief funds that the group of aristocratic families put on Xie Huaixu.

Xie Huaixu's ending made him sigh, but so did he. Now his daughter had also gone to the battlefield. If the traitor was not discovered, their Cheng family would really have no successors and all of them would die on the battlefield.

When he thought about the time when his eldest son was on a mission, the enemy seemed to know their actions, and at the critical moment a group of barbarian soldiers rushed out, and the whole team was wiped out. He thought that the barbarians reacted quickly at first, but now he thinks there is something strange about it.

Song Sanniang could still hear her father's instructions in her ears. The firelight from the distant camp was imprinted in her pupils, looking like the spark of revenge.

Recovering her thoughts, Song Sanniang glanced above her field of vision, then retracted her gaze and stretched out her hand to make a gesture.

Although Wen Qing and Wen Mo were a little confused as to why it was different from what they had agreed upon, they still led one-third of their men each and began to lurk towards the side of the tent.

Soon, only Song Sanniang and the remaining three hundred people were left there.

After confirming that Wen Qing and Wen Mo had arrived at their locations, it was her turn to take the stage. Song Sanniang led the rest of the people and charged into the barbarian camp.

Song Sanniang killed anyone she saw and had no intention of going deep into the barbarian camp.

The original plan was to raid the camp, with the goal of killing the barbarian general Wutulu in the chaos, or seriously injuring him, and then retreat bravely and return to Tongguan.

But now, Song Sanniang didn't care at all. She took hundreds of soldiers under her and occupied the entrance of the camp. She killed the barbarian soldiers who rushed over one by one, and killed two if they came in pairs. No matter how many came, Song Sanniang could easily deal with them.

At first, the soldiers following her did not understand why Deputy General Cheng blocked the door, but every time the enemy rushed towards them and the sword disappeared before they could even finish a circle, they understood.

They are now backed to the camp gate, and they have comrades with them, so they will not be surrounded and attacked from both sides. They can even help each other and fight against one person with several people.

Soon, both sides were blood-thirsty, but in fact, the people brought by Song Sanniang were still fine and not tired at all. The barbarian soldiers were lying on the ground. Seeing this situation, Wutulu, who was ambushing not far away, could no longer sit still.

If he really lets Cheng Yuchuan continue killing like this, even if he finally catches Cheng Yuchuan, it will not be able to make up for his losses.

"Damn Cheng family kid, he's asking for a beating."

Song Sanniang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall barbarian who was obviously not equipped the same as the surrounding soldiers rushing towards her.

“Just in time!”

The soldiers behind him retreated silently to leave room for their deputy general to perform. Although they didn't know why Deputy General Cheng suddenly became so powerful, they didn't have to worry that he would not be able to defeat A Luhuan.

Sure enough, the opponent hit the warhorse under Song Sanniang with a hammer. Song Sanniang pulled the reins suddenly, and the warhorse neighed and stepped towards the opponent fiercely.

A Luhuan holding two hammers seemed to have no effect on him at all. He nimbly took several steps back to avoid the attack.

Song Sanniang jumped off her horse and handed the reins to the soldier beside her. She looked at A Luhuan's double hammers, drew out her other sword, and gave him a provocative smile.

"Ahhh! Boy, take my move."

Song Sanniang still had an expression on her face that showed she didn't take anyone seriously, but in fact she had already alerted herself. Strength was her current weakness, so she had to be careful in dealing with it.

The battle is about to begin.

At this moment, blazing flames suddenly appeared on both sides in front of Song Sanniang. For a moment, the attention of both sides was attracted by this sudden change.

Except for Song Sanniang, who took advantage of the fact that the big guy in front of her was distracted and turned around a few steps to jump on her horse, and shouted to the soldiers who were still not reacting, "Go!"

Their bodies reacted faster than their minds, and they quickly began to retreat from the camp gate behind them.

At this time, Wutulu behind him also reacted. Seeing Aluhuan riding a horse and leading people to chase after him, he wanted to call him back, but the man quickly ran away.

He could only put on a gloomy face and arrange a deputy general to lead people to pursue. Cheng Yuchuan must stay here today, no matter whether he lives or dies.
