Zhao San heard this and lowered his head to think for a moment. At this point, this was the only way. He hoped he could get away with it. He didn't want to be executed by military law.

He looked up at his men and said gratefully...

"Now that things have come to this, I can only ask you to keep it a secret for me. If I can become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget you."

The subordinates swore solemnly: "Boss, don't worry, we have followed you for so many years, we are brothers in life and death, and we will never betray you."

"Well, that's great." Zhao San finally felt relieved. Then, he looked at the wound on his hand and cursed angrily...

"That damned city gate official of Youzhou was so vicious and inhumane. He actually set us on fire. My brothers died tragically. I must avenge them."

If he had not been smart enough to pull a soldier in front of him, he would have been splashed with fire, water and oil, and he would have been the dead one now.

Zhao San couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he thought of the soldier whose whole body was on fire, who let out miserable screams, and was finally burned into charcoal by the fire and fell under the city gate.

It was too dangerous. If he hadn't been alert enough, he would have turned into charcoal now.

Everyone was in a hurry to escape at that time, and no one noticed what happened except him.

He's not stupid, so of course he won't say it.

Otherwise, you will be cursed by your brothers.

The subordinates were very moved and said in unison: "Boss, you are so kind to us. It's not in vain that we followed you."

Zhao San said righteously: "You are all my soldiers. It is my duty to seek justice for you."

"Boss, your wound has been treated. You should rest early."

"it is good."

Just as they were about to leave the small tent and go back to rest, suddenly, there were bursts of exclamations from outside...

"Oh no, there's a fire, everyone come and put it out."

Outside the tent, flames were blazing into the sky. The soldiers on guard were running around with buckets, trying to put out the fire in a panic.

Zhao San stood up immediately and said, "Oh no! Something happened. Let's go check it out."

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that their sneak attack on Youzhou just now angered the giant python, and it came to cause trouble intentionally?

If this is true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Marshal Li will definitely not forgive him if they know that he secretly led troops to attack Youzhou and so many brothers died.

When Zhao San thought of this, he ran out like a madman, hoping to put out the fire quickly and conceal the fact that he had secretly led the troops out.

"Boss, wait for me." Several men quickly followed him out.

Outside the tent, flames shot up into the sky, and the red flames illuminated half the sky.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Zhao San grabbed a soldier who was putting out the fire and asked viciously.

The soldier was suddenly grabbed by the clothes and questioned by Zhao San. He was shocked and shook his head quickly, saying in horror...

"Sir, I don't know what happened. I was half asleep when I heard someone say there was a fire, so I ran out to help put it out with everyone else."

At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of fighting and the roar of wild beasts in the distance, and then someone shouted in panic...

"Oh no! The enemy attacked our barracks at night. Everyone, hurry up and get up! Ahhhh..."

There was another shrill scream from behind.

"Oh no! The enemy is coming to attack our camp at night. Hurry up and protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao San panicked when he heard this. He quickly let go of the soldier and roared at him uncontrollably...

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and inform the marshal to get up quickly?"

At this hour, the brothers in the barracks are all sleeping. They can't afford to be attacked in their sleep. If that happens, they will be really finished.

"Yes." The soldier agreed, threw down the barrel, and left in a hurry without even putting out the fire.

Unexpectedly, after he ran a few meters, he heard the roar of wild beasts all around him. The sound was deafening and it felt like the ground was shaking. The soldier subconsciously stopped and looked outside...

At this time, the firelight illuminated half the sky red, and he could clearly see that outside the barracks were densely packed with ferocious beasts, including tigers, leopards, elephants, jackals, and snakes.

Oh my god, did they encounter a wave of ferocious beasts? Why are there so many ferocious beasts?

The soldier's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground, yelling out of control...

"Help! Help! There are many ferocious beasts outside."

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: it was over, their army was really going to be finished tonight. Not only did they encounter a sneak attack from the Youzhou army, but also ferocious beasts. This time they would really die without a burial place.

However, he was still young and he really didn't want to die.

The soldier thought of his relatives at home, tried hard to control the fear in his heart, stood up with all his strength, and ran towards Marshal Li's tent with staggering steps.

"Marshal Li, something bad has happened, get up quickly."

Marshal Li was also awakened by the noise outside. He knew something must have happened in the barracks. He quickly put on his armor and was about to rush out with his weapon in hand when he ran into a soldier. He quickly asked...

"What happened outside? Why is there so much noise?"

The soldier said with a sad face and horror...

"Grand Marshal, it's bad. People from Youzhou have launched a surprise attack and burned our barracks. There are also many ferocious beasts and wolves outside. I'm afraid we can't survive tonight. Wuuwuwu..."

"Useless thing, you are crying over a small matter. How dare you disturb the morale of the army? I will chop off your dog head." Marshal Li cursed and rushed out of the tent in a hurry. He looked up and saw...

Sure enough, the barracks was in chaos, and screams continued to come out from the tents. It was obvious that his soldiers were assassinated by the enemy in their sleep.

"You idiots, why don't you quickly sound the alarm and wake up the soldiers to minimize the losses."

However, at this time, everyone was in a panic and no one listened to him.

Marshal Li was furious. He grabbed a soldier who had escaped from the tent and roared at him angrily...

"Go and sound the alarm immediately, otherwise, I will kill you."

The soldier was sleeping in the tent just now. He heard his companion's screams in a daze. He opened his eyes and saw a big knife slashing towards his head. He was almost scared to death. Maybe it was not his fate. The man stumbled and the knife slashed off. He escaped from the tent. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Marshal Li as soon as he ran out. He screamed in shock...

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me."

Marshal Li was so angry when he saw his soldiers were so cowardly that he slapped them hard and cursed...

"You piece of shit, look carefully, it's me, not the enemy. I'm warning you, go and sound the alarm immediately, or I'll kill you right away."

"Yes, I'll go right away." After being slapped a few times, the soldier's mind became much clearer and he immediately ran to sound the alarm.

But it was too late. The two brothers Huo Xi had already sneaked into the tent with their men and killed half of the sleeping enemy troops without losing a single soldier. It was effortless.

The other half of the enemy troops were eaten or bitten to death by the ferocious beasts. The scene was horrific, with corpses everywhere.

His Royal Highness Taizu was hiding in the dark when he saw this scene. His legs went limp with fear. He knew that the situation was hopeless. If he did not escape, he would be like hundreds of thousands of soldiers and lose his life. In order to save his life, he changed into a soldier's clothes and, under the cover of Marshal Li, escaped into the night.

It's broad daylight.

The gate officer led his men to search the entire enemy camp several times, but could not find the Crown Prince and Marshal Li. He stamped his feet in anger and cursed...

"Damn it, they actually escaped. We let them go this time, but who knows when they will come back again next time."

Long Yi: "Grand Marshal, you don't have to be angry. We killed hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with such a small number of troops. We should be happy."

"Besides, it was pitch dark last night, so it's not surprising that they took the opportunity to escape. Don't blame yourself."

The city gate historian looked up and saw enemy corpses everywhere, piled up into small hills. The blood dyed several nearby hilltops red, and even the nearby river turned red.

It is no exaggeration to say that rivers of blood flowed.

But he did not feel guilty at all and was not merciful. After all, when two armies confront each other, it is either you die or I die.

If they had been defeated last night, Youzhou City would have been massacred by the Dayao Kingdom’s army today, and all the civilians would have died.

So, when Chengmen Shi saw this scene, he just nodded calmly and said...

"General Long is right. I was asking too much. But let's be honest. Fortunately, the young master was able to summon so many beasts to help us last night. Otherwise, how could we have wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?"

Long Yi nodded, agreeing with Chengmen Shi's words, and said, "Yes, if the Third and Fourth Young Masters had not possessed supernatural powers and summoned thousands of ferocious beasts to help, I'm afraid our Youzhou would have been doomed."

When those ferocious beasts kill people, each one can fight a hundred people at the same time. They are very brave and human soldiers are no match for them.

At this time, the sun was rising. In order to avoid causing panic among the people, Huo Xi had sent back the jackals, tigers and leopards from last night.

"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, we didn't lose a single soldier last night and we have successfully killed all the enemy troops. There were hundreds of thousands of them in total." The City Gate Shi looked at the corpses piled up like a mountain in front of him, puffed out his chest, and said proudly.

Huo Xi sat on the back of the big white tiger, nodded, and said: "In order to deter the emperors of other countries and make them not dare to think about Youzhou in the future, the body is not allowed to be buried for the time being. It will be exposed for three days before being buried."

In fact, he had been with his beautiful mother since he was a child, and he knew that corpses should not be kept for too long, otherwise, plague would easily spread.

However, in order to deter neighboring countries and prevent them from attacking Youzhou again, it is okay to stop there for three days.
