As soon as these words came out, Qi Fengshan and Beiyuan were startled.

"Is this possible?" Qi Fengshan said, "We don't have many people to begin with, and most of them are still sick. Besides, the prince himself is also injured. I'm afraid this plan is inappropriate."

"Yes, yes, my subordinates also feel that it is inappropriate." Beiyuan agreed, "The prince has not had a full sleep for many days in a row, and now he has been so seriously injured. It is really not suitable to lead the troops in battle anymore. Why not rest first?" After one night, I will have enough energy to face Beidi tomorrow, as long as I can wait until the princess arrives with her troops."

"What do you know?"

Murong Xiao scolded him, frowning and said, "It is precisely because our army has suffered too many casualties and has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with Beidi that we must use outsmarting instead of attacking to avoid the possibility of the entire army being annihilated."

"But the prince is injured..."

"What are you afraid of if you are injured? Your life is still there, aren't you?" Murong Xiao said, "So many soldiers have broken arms and legs and are still fighting. My injury is nothing. As long as I can repel Beidi, it's this arm." It’s worth it even if it’s useless.”

Beiyuan was punished and did not dare to persuade him again.

Murong Xiao looked at Zhang Xingzhou: "What do you think?"

"I think it's okay." Zhang Xingzhou said, "Now that the water is dripping and turning into ice outside, the people in Beidi probably don't think that we will risk a night attack. It's snowing heavily today. As long as we are careful, they won't hear anything. Wait until we get within range. Simply setting fire to the camp with rockets will not burn all the Beidi soldiers to death, at least it will prevent them from attacking the city again tomorrow, so that we can successfully delay the arrival of the princess."

"Yes, this is exactly what I mean." Murong Xiao said happily, "You still understand me."

Beiyuan: "..."

Qi Fengshan: "..."

Look at what the prince said, don’t they understand the prince? After all, don’t they feel sorry for him?

Seeing that Murong Xiao had made up his mind, Qi Fengshan had no choice but to compromise: "Since the prince has decided, I will go and call the generals from each battalion, and we will formulate a specific battle plan."

"Sir, please sit down. I have fast legs and feet. I'll call you." Beiyuan said, turned around and walked out quickly.

As soon as the door opened, the biting cold wind blew in my face.

Beiyuan shivered and instinctively shrank his neck.

It's such a cold day, and I don't know if the prince's body can handle it.

It would be great if the princess was here. The prince listens to the princess the most. If the princess doesn't let him go, he will definitely not even dare to go out.

It's all because the snow came at the wrong time, otherwise the princess would have arrived in the evening.

I hope the princess will not get up too late tomorrow morning and arrive early with her troops to solve Huaizhou's urgent need.

Ugh!

Beiyuan sighed, wrapped himself in a cotton robe, and walked quickly towards the camp.

At this time, he did not know that Chu Zhao was leading his troops to bypass Huaizhou City and quietly attack the Beidi camp.

Walking from the city is the shortest distance and the road is the smoothest, but Chu Zhao is worried that there are spies from the Beidi people in the city. If they are discovered by them and send a signal to the Beidi people in advance, tonight's work will be in vain.

Therefore, she would rather go around the city for an extra twenty miles without even informing Murong Xiao in advance.

At the end of the fourth watch, it was the darkest moment before dawn. Chu Zhao bypassed Huaizhou City and dispersed his troops. There were 3000 people in each group, and they were divided into three groups to outflank the Beidi camp.

The reason why she left one side behind was because she knew in her heart that with her small number of troops, it was impossible to annihilate all the Beidi people. At most, she could catch them off guard and force them to retreat to the rear while the other party was in a daze.

Not too much, as long as the Beidi people can retreat fifty miles, they can buy enough breathing time for themselves and the Jingnan Army.

Once they have taken a breath and adjusted their condition, they will be able to deal with it calmly when the Beidi people call again.

It was dark all around. When they were approaching the Beidi camp, Chu Zhao ordered the few torches to be extinguished in order not to attract the attention of the enemy. All the soldiers could only use the light of snow on the ground to move forward.

This time, Aao did not go with Chu Zhao, but was assigned to the team to the west by Chu Zhao.

Although the generals sent by Feng Guanlan had already expressed their loyalty to Chu Zhao when they were in the camp, Chu Zhao had to be on guard and asked Tie Zhui and A Ao to be the vanguard officers of the east and west teams respectively, responsible for the charge. At the same time, he is also responsible for supervising those generals and can kill them first and then report them when necessary.

Therefore, without the company of Tie Zhui and A Ao, only Xu Hui and Xie Chengfeng were left by her side.

The knights from the world brought by Xie Chengfeng were also divided into the teams of Tie Zhui and A Ao by Chu Zhao.

General Xiao was left in the camp together with King Chuhuai's treasure, and was responsible for guarding the food and supplies with a thousand soldiers.

Xu Hui had been with Chu Zhao for decades in his previous life, but he had never followed her to the front line. Today was the first time. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Xie Chengfeng is relatively calmer. After all, he and Chu Zhao have cooperated many times. When Chu Zhao escaped from the Jingnan Palace, he was the one who helped her avoid Murong Xiao's pursuit. The two have a tacit understanding.

For fear of disturbing the enemy, no one could make any noise. In the silent wilderness, there was only the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow.

When he was still about three miles away from the Beidi camp, Chu Zhao ordered everyone to enter a state of combat readiness, and the archers strung the specially-made vertical rockets on their bows.

The signal soldiers used the flickering of lanterns to contact the teams on the east and west sides to confirm that everyone was within range. With Chu Zhao's order, thousands of rockets were ignited and roared towards the enemy camp like bolide.

The patrolling soldiers in the Beidi camp were lazily hiding in the lee of the wind, drinking wine and keeping warm. Suddenly they noticed a red light in the sky above their heads. When they looked up in shock, they found that a rocket was coming. They shouted loudly, and arrows had already landed in the tent. superior.

Almost instantly, all the tents were on fire, and deafening shouts of death immediately sounded from all directions, rushing towards the camp.

The Beidi soldiers were awakened from their sleep. They had no time to put on their armor, so they got up and ran out.

"No, no, no, the enemy is here for a sneak attack."

"Run quickly, the Jingnan Army is coming!"

Exclamations came and went, and the camp was in chaos.

"What's going on?" General Temu rushed out of the tent with a knife, and was stunned by the scene of flames in front of him.

Fiery arrows were still being fired at the camp like rain, and there were cavalry in front and on the left and right sides rushing towards us under the light of the fire.

The sky was dark, I couldn't see very far, and I didn't know how many people were coming from the other party.

"The Regent of Dayan is here. Today is the day for your death. If you don't want to die, please surrender quickly!"

The loud shouts, accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, came on the wind, which was frightening.

The Beidi soldiers were already in disarray and fled to the rear, ignoring the general's orders.

Also frightened was Murong Xiao who was coming with his troops.

"My lord, look, there's a fire in the Beidi camp."

"It's a rocket, it's a rocket. Someone set it on fire in front of us."

"Oh my god, who is this person? He is so silent. I'm afraid it's not a magic weapon descending from the sky."

"No, listen quickly, it's the regent..."

Regent?

Regent!

"My lord, isn't the regent the princess?" Beiyuan shouted excitedly.

Murong Xiao looked at the soaring fire in front of him, and his blood boiled all over his body.

"It's Ah Zhao, it's Ah Zhao here!" He murmured, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Ah Zhao!" he shouted, and galloped forward on his horse.
