Meng Ruliu shouted, "There are three roads ahead, take the middle one."
"good."
The road gradually ascends into the mountains. Although Xuehua was a BMW, it was getting tired after carrying the two of them for so long, and its speed slowed down.
Su Wan turned around and said, "Sister Yi, let's dismount first and let Xuehua rest for a while."
Meng Ruliu dismounted and helped Su Wan down. The two led the horses up to the mountaintop.
Meng Ruliu said to her, "According to the route map drawn by the Third Princess, His Highness's military camp should be down the mountain."
Su Wan said, "I saw it."
The two stood on the mountaintop, at the foot of which lay a plain where the Great Jin army's main camp was located.
Su Wan was searching for a way down the mountain when Meng Ruliu tugged at her sleeve: "Sister, look over there! A troop of Southern Chu cavalry is charging towards us!"
Under the bright moonlight, a force of two thousand Southern Chu cavalrymen charged toward the Great Jin army's camp with shouts.
The Jin army camp seemed to have detected the enemy cavalry charge, and the soldiers immediately stood on the parapet, drew their bows and arrows, and unleashed wave after wave of arrows at the charging Southern Chu cavalry.
The Southern Chu cavalry at the forefront raised their shields to protect themselves, but their horses offered no protection and were struck by arrows, falling to the ground and throwing their soldiers off. The soldiers rolled a few times on the ground before getting to their feet and continuing their charge, shields raised.
"Sister Yi, none of these people seem to be wearing armor," Su Wan said.
Meng Ruliu pointed at the Southern Chu soldiers charging at the forefront and exclaimed, "They've clearly been hit by several arrows, so why are they still able to run?"
Su Wan noticed it too.
One of the Southern Chu soldiers at the very front had three or four arrows stuck in his body, yet he ran incredibly fast as if nothing had happened.
She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and looked more closely. The soldier had indeed been hit by several arrows, but it felt like the arrows had only grazed his skin and hadn't actually penetrated.
Meng Ruliu held her hand tightly and said, "They are the Southern Chu army who injected the secret drug. We are too late."
The Southern Chu soldiers at the front had already rushed to the parapet of the Great Jin army camp. Without even stopping, they rammed their shoulders into the thick wooden wall.
The wooden planks of the parapet were smashed to pieces as if they were made of paper. The Jin soldiers standing on them were thrown into the air by the huge impact, screams of agony filled the air, and chaos reigned.
The Southern Chu cavalry, like a black flood, surged into the Great Jin army's camp through the broken gap.
