Three days later.

The entire Jingshan Battalion was mobilized and headed straight for Chiling!

Xiao Zhennan and Tu Rou also adopted the method provided by Chen Shan, with two thousand-household teams pressing forward as the main force, while the remaining hundred-household teams also advanced in a fan shape.

The soldiers of Jingshan Camp were already familiar with Chiling, so they crossed it in no time.

The Qing scouts encountered during this period were also cleared out one by one.

Grassland behind Chiling.

The border area was called Lingyuan Road by the Qing Dynasty, which was also an important node for the Qing army to transport supplies and provisions.

Even though Jingshan Camp cleared out the scouts from Chiling, they still couldn't make a rash advance.

In the hills at the foot of Chiling.

The army assembled.

"Each centurion, lead your men to find suitable positions to ambush. Remember, once discovered, the only option is to fight to the death. There is no cover on the grassland; even if you run, you cannot escape death."

"Only victory will give you a chance to survive!"

Xiao Zhen knew very well that this mission had to be accomplished, even if it meant sacrificing the entire Jingshan Camp!

As the military order was issued, Chen Shan led his squad along the hills, gradually approaching the grassland and separating from the other squads.

"Boss, if we go any further, we'll be entering the grasslands. If we get spotted, we'll become sitting ducks."

"I've heard that the Qing Dynasty was skilled in horsemanship and archery."

Liu Sanshi, Liu Tiehan, and the others stepped forward and inquired about Chen Shan's next steps.

"Disperse the brothers into groups of ten, put on the straw clothes they had before, and keep them lying on the ground the whole time without showing their heads."

"The rest will follow my commands."

"By the way, did you bring enough rockets?"

"Don't worry, boss, it's all set. Everyone has been equipped with ten rockets."

Seeing Liu Sanshi and the others nod, Chen Shan felt much more at ease.

As for the function of the grass clothing, it was naturally for auspicious purposes.

This grassland is not a place for overgrazing. The grass is lush, and the slightly uneven terrain makes it easy to become invisible once you lie down.

The team quickly completed their infiltration.

When the Qing Dynasty's supply train appeared, everyone tensed up.

Chen Shan scanned the area and saw that the supply train consisted of twenty carts, and the troops escorting it were mainly cavalry.

Although Jingshan Camp had horses, they were not cavalry, and they were all left in the hands of the Thousand-Household Team for use in charges.

For their centurion squad, ambushing them was tantamount to trading their lives for their own.

"There are probably ten thousand cavalrymen, and they are all elite cavalrymen."

Chen Shan's heart sank when he saw the configuration of those cavalrymen.

It was much more difficult than he had imagined.

However, all we can do for now is wait for an opportunity.

Although each squad takes the initiative to create opportunities for the main attacking team, once they strike first, they will inevitably be the first to be attacked.

The centurions were all well aware of this, so when the supply train appeared, none of them made any moves in advance.

"If we don't make a move soon, it'll be too late to ambush them up ahead."

"Send orders to the centurions to make their move!"

Xiao Zhen led his thousand-household squad to hide at the foot of Chiling Mountain, but there was no sign of them making a move.

This made him a little anxious.

However, his orders had little effect.

Those are all scoundrels, how could they possibly go up there to their deaths?

Sure enough, while Chen Shan was pondering whether or not to take action, one of the centurions openly ran out!

"General! Ambush! An ambush! We've come to surrender!"

In an instant, a centurion's squad charged out and shouted loudly, immediately alerting the Qing cavalry!

This sudden turn of events exposed many of the centurion squads. Some surrendered in an attempt to survive, while others took direct action!

In an instant, chaos erupted!

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhennan and Tu Rou, who were behind them, had gloomy expressions.

They never expected that someone would run away and surrender at this critical moment.

This completely ruined the ambush!

"Damn it! These bastards, we have no choice but to charge out!"

Xiao Zhen underestimated the old soldiers of Jingshan Camp who were just coasting along. In addition, he hadn't paid much attention to the military camp before and hadn't established much authority, making it difficult to command them.

The thousand-household troops charged out, but by this time the cavalry had already taken action, using long-range crossbows and mounted archery, turning the exposed hundred-household troops into live targets.

Despite this, Xiao Zhen's troops were still in a difficult situation, as they were not cavalry and their charge was somewhat chaotic.

Some even fled towards Chiling.

The entire surprise attack was, to put it mildly, a joke.

As Chen Shan looked at the scene before him, the pressure on him increased.

"Boss, what... what do we do?"

Liu Sanshi asked in a low voice, "With the help of the straw clothes, they are still very well hidden. Not to mention the Qing army, even their own people did not find them."

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer."

Chen Shan's eyes swept over the cavalry.

At this moment, Xiao Zhennan and Tu Rou had already led their small force of two thousand men to charge forward and were already engaged in combat with the cavalry.

However, the enemy was an elite cavalry force, and apart from Xiao Zhennan and Tu Rou who could handle them to some extent, the rest were simply easy prey.

Fortunately, the field was in chaos at that moment, and Chen Shan seized the opportunity.

"Move! Burn the supplies first!"

"Remember, change positions immediately after each round of shooting, and try not to get up."

Chen Shan immediately made the arrangements, and with a single command, rockets shot out across the grassland in an instant!

The originally chaotic battlefield also changed as a result.

The rocket struck the transport vehicle with deadly precision and ignited instantly!

With the supplies burned, the cavalry immediately dispatched thousands of men to search for and salvage them, which actually reduced the pressure on Xiao Zhen and his men considerably.

"continue!"

"Tell the brothers to take care of themselves, and after they have finished shooting, they can decide for themselves."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he immediately stood up, his pace quickening instantly. As he removed his straw clothes, his composite bow precisely reaped the lives of every cavalryman!

Even though they were elite cavalry, Chen Shan wielded a genuine composite bow, the power of which they could not withstand.

"Sir, lend me a horse!"

The squad continued to fire arrows to harass, but Chen Shan had already charged ahead of the main force.

Before Xiao Zhen could react, Chen Shan had already snatched one of the horses.

While the compound bow shooting continued, Chen Shan also began to charge!

"Chen Shan!"

Seeing Chen Shan charge into the chaotic army, Xiao Zhen hurriedly followed. Even if they failed this time, Chen Shan could not die.

After all, he has potential, and even if he fails, Nan Tu Rou will protect him. Most importantly, he is Xiao Ningning's husband.

Once inside the formation, Chen Shan put away his composite bow, drew his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), and began his slaughter!

Battlefield combat is not complicated; it relies entirely on physical combat and brute force.

At this moment, Chen Shan's advantages became apparent.

With the power of six stones, he can easily kill enemies, and the protection of his riot vest also makes him fearless.

With the vest providing protection, coupled with his own strength of six stones, these Qing soldiers were no different from chicks in his eyes, and could be killed at will.
