A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

Those who surrender will not be killed!

Those who surrender will not be killed!

As these shouts rang out, some soldiers couldn't help but dismount and surrender.

But some people turned their horses around, preparing to force their way out.

After all, it's normal for the Tang army not to bring too many chariots. Although they had prepared for several days, their numbers were still far from enough to completely stop an army of 2.

They identified a weak point and attacked it.

Li Guangbi stood in the distance, coldly watching this scene, shook his head, and sentenced this army to death.

The simple trap of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open—this weak point was deliberately left out, and it's the most obvious one.

With insufficient troops, it would be difficult for them to completely encircle and annihilate these 2 elite cavalry.

One problem was the insufficient number of tanks, and the other was the lack of manpower to subsequently encircle and suppress the numerous weak points.

Therefore, Li Guangbi placed his troops in a trap specifically set for them, artificially creating a weaker point to lure the rebels into breaking out in that direction.

If the rebels attack, they will be met with another trap, and these 2 elite cavalry will be completely buried here.

If they see through his plan and choose another direction to break through, they might escape with their remaining troops, bringing panic to the city. Either way, he wouldn't lose out.

Now it seems that the other side chose the way that would give him the greatest profit, annihilating 2 elite enemy cavalry in one fell swoop, all while reading a book and taking a nap. It was practically a free victory, one that even Li Guangbi wouldn't despise.

Seeing someone break through the encirclement, the other elite cavalry instinctively followed suit and charged in that direction.

But they soon discovered that this was another dead end.

The road was riddled with traps for horses. After breaking out of the encirclement, the elite cavalry had not gone far before, with the help of the camp, they arrived at the location of the trap.

A large number of warhorses stepped into the horse trap, throwing the riders off their backs.

This group of warhorses blocked the path of the warhorses behind them, like a traffic jam, and began to cause a chain reaction of horse accidents.

Just as the horse horde was finally brought under control, a large number of archers suddenly appeared from the surrounding tents.

The archers had already drawn their bows, aimed at them, and were ready to fire.

"shoot!"

At a command, arrows rained down like a storm, shooting densely towards them.

"what!"

The soldiers' screams were deafening, but the general who gave the order remained unmoved, his face ashen.

All seasoned generals know that mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

This is a battlefield, where one side is destined to fall.

After more than a dozen volleys of arrows, apart from a few cavalrymen who fled in panic, most of the cavalrymen either surrendered, were killed or wounded, and the 2-strong army was almost completely wiped out.

"Tomorrow, hang the general who sent the troops on the flagpole to demoralize the rebels."

Li Guangbi surveyed the hellish scene of blood and flesh scattered everywhere, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

"yes!"

The soldiers looked at Li Guangbi with fervor. Li Guangbi had led them to another great victory, and everyone would receive a substantial reward for their military achievements today.

"Shall we continue the pursuit, sir?"

The deputy general looked in the direction of Yunzhou City and asked Li Guangbi.

"Can."

Li Guangbi nodded. "Of course, the enemy should know about this defeat."

"Only if someone escapes back can the news spread like wildfire."

"However, we can also pursue them. We don't aim to kill the enemy, but just to make a big fuss so that the whole of Yunzhou City knows that they sent troops to launch a night attack and suffered a great defeat, with almost all of their 2 elite cavalry wiped out."

"Remember, do not seek to kill the enemy, nor should you cause the city of Yunzhou to be afraid to open its gates and let them in."

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The crowd responded in unison, and after receiving the order, they mounted their horses and left. Even if they didn't kill anyone, it would be extremely satisfying to show off their power under the walls of Yunzhou City.

Outside the city gates of Yunzhou, thousands of remnant soldiers frantically rushed back to the entrance, shouting, "Open the gate! Open the gate now!"

As they knocked on the door, they kept looking back, afraid that Tang soldiers would appear in front of them at any moment.

Zhang Chong and Huang Yi, who were waiting for the results of the battle, waited on the city gate. Standing on the city gate, they looked out at the enemy camp in the distance. When they saw the Tang army camp engulfed in flames, they clapped and cheered.

But their joy was short-lived, for they soon saw thousands of remnants of the army fleeing in disarray.

Upon hearing the voices coming from below the city gate and confirming their identities, Zhang Chong immediately ordered his men to open the gate and let them in, then tightly shut the gate again.

"What happened? How come there are only so many of you left? Where is everyone else? Where is General Wang?"

Zhang Chong asked the leading captain.

"My lord, it's a trap. The Tang army knew we would launch a night attack tonight and set up an ambush."

"Every step we took seemed to be within the enemy's calculations. General Wang led us out of the ambush, only to fall into another ambush by the enemy."

"General Wang has already died in the line of duty."

The captain said, his voice choked with emotion.

Zhang Chong stared wide-eyed at the captain in disbelief. His 2 elite cavalrymen were now reduced to only a few thousand!

How could this happen!

"What kind of ambush did you encounter?"

Huang Yi, who was standing to the side, asked.

The captain quickly explained the traps they encountered, such as chariots and horse pits, and Huang Yi's eyes were filled with terror after hearing it.

"Fake!"

"This is all fake!"

"You must be the one causing unrest among the troops; you deserve to die!"

Zhang Chong roared, drew his sword from his waist, and was about to kill the captain.

"Young master, you mustn't!"

Huang Yi, who was next to him, was the first to react and quickly stopped Zhang Chong.

"Young master, now is not the time to act impulsively. The most important thing now is..."

Huang Yi stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence and pulled Zhang Chong aside to a corner.

"Young master, the most urgent task now is to catch the traitor."

A mole?!

Zhang Chong was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes, it was an inside man.

The reason why the Tang army dared to besiege Yunzhou City with a mere 50,000 troops was because there was a spy among the garrison commander of Yunzhou City, and he held a high position. This gave them confidence that they could take Yunzhou City with only 50,000 troops.

Now, this traitor has betrayed their intelligence about the night raid, allowing the Tang army to prepare in advance, which led to today's crushing defeat.

"That traitor deserves to die! Once I catch him, I'll skin him alive!"

Zhang Chong gritted his teeth and said.

"Who is it? Who on earth is it?!"

Zhang Chong looked at Huang Yi, his eyes gleaming with a chilling, predatory light.

"My lord, the unusual behavior of 2 troops cannot be kept secret; too many people know about it."

"We can start by investigating the people here today. How did the Tang army know we would attack today?"

"Few people knew about this before the order was given."

Huang Yi analyzed.
