Chen Shan personally led eight hundred men out of the city quietly, without Xiao Zhen accompanying them.

According to Chen Shan's plan, he needed to provide cover for the deficit camp.

After all, Kong Qingzhi wasn't just eyeing Nan Tu Rou, but also Chen Shan.

Therefore, both Nan Tu Rou and Xiao Zhen need to stay.

grassland.

Led by Chen Shan, the eight hundred men swiftly slipped into the grassland like ghosts in the night.

"Boss, are we allowed in for one night?"

"We don't know the location of the Sirius Army camp."

Liu Sanshi looked worried. Although it was night and visibility was low on the grassland, the bright moon was still there, and getting too close would make him easy to be spotted.

Hearing this, Chen Shan was not in a hurry at all.

"The location of the 200,000-strong army is obvious. According to the plan, 800 men will be divided into eight directions."

"Remember, all we need to do is launch rockets and set their tents on fire."

Chen Shan's goal was simple: to carry out the fire attack to the end.

The grasslands are inherently windy and dry, making it the perfect opportunity for a fire attack.

"Everyone remember, use the kerosene. Once we succeed, retreat and regroup immediately."

Under Chen Shan's repeated instructions, the eight hundred men were divided into eight small teams of one hundred each, and quickly separated to stealthily make their way towards the Tianlang Army camp.

Just as Chen Shan said, the Sirius Army did not set up many defenses at this moment.

After all, the Third Legion had just suffered a defeat, and even if Sirius King was very clever, he couldn't possibly have guessed that the other side would continue to attack.

Moreover, there was something fishy going on in this.

Sirius Army Camp.

Under the cover of night, although there were fires in the camp, it was already past midnight, and even though the Sirius Army had guards on night watch, they were of little use.

In the dead of night, just as the exhausted guards of the Tianlang Army were changing shifts, suddenly, flames shot into the sky from all eight directions of the entire camp!

Before the guards could react, rockets rained down from the sky. Carrying fuel, they ignited instantly, and the flames roared wildly in the night breeze.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The next moment, the guards shouted.

The once quiet military camp instantly descended into chaos.

However, the rockets continued to fire with unerring accuracy, all aimed at the innermost tents of the army.

A fire broke out in the military camp, and hundreds of thousands of troops were suddenly thrown into chaos. Firefighters organized teams to leave the camp, and for a time, everything was in complete disarray.

Within half an hour, several squads of elite cavalry appeared in the military camp and sped off in the direction from which the rockets had been fired!

Undoubtedly, this midnight raid enraged the Sirius King; the Xia Kingdom's army truly lacked martial ethics!

Despite the timely arrangements made by the Sirius King, the army suffered considerable losses, and the already scarce food supplies were almost completely depleted by this fire attack.

Even the military suffered considerable losses.

Everyone was resting when the sudden fire attack came, leaving no time to stop it. In the chaos, many soldiers were trampled.

As the instigator, Chen Shan had already returned with eight hundred men and ambushed them ten miles away from the Tianlang Army camp.

Judging from the situation of the Sirius Army, the enemy will definitely send troops to pursue them.

This has nothing to do with strategy or tactics; it's simply because I was angry.

"Wow, these guys actually came looking for us."

Seeing the cavalry charging out, Liu Sanshi's face lit up with excitement.

Liu Tiehan had already nocked his bow and arrow, ready to strike at any moment!

"There are probably around a thousand people in this group; let some in."

"Try to take them all down, but don't hurt the horses."

Chen Shan gave a few instructions, and everyone listened attentively.

When the thousand elite cavalrymen galloped in under the cover of night, their already impaired visibility, coupled with the fact that everyone was covered in grass clothing, made it impossible for them to spot the hidden squad.

"Let's do it!"

At Chen Shan's command, another rain of arrows appeared, but this time they were not rockets, so they were not noticeable in the night.

But it is precisely because of this that the effect of surprise is better.

These thousand cavalrymen were like frightened birds, completely helpless against the pinpoint fire of eight hundred men, and were annihilated in no time!

"Quickly clean up the battlefield and retreat on horseback!"

Without the slightest hesitation, and without the slightest reluctance.

Although the Sirius Army was in chaos at the moment, Chen Shan did not intend to cause any more trouble.

After all, we should act within our capabilities, and the fact that the trip went so smoothly was already beyond our expectations.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Chen Shan and his group, however, had already ridden the warhorses of the Tianlang Army, carrying their spoils, and swaggered into Mochi City.

Nan Tu Rou and Xiao Zhen were waiting at the city gate early on.

"Are these all warhorses of the Sirius Army?"

Nan Tu Rou stared in astonishment as to see that none of the eight hundred men were injured, and many of them were leading extra warhorses.

"Of course, the Sirius Army will probably have to consider withdrawing today."

"Their supplies should be exhausted, General. Whether to negotiate or what to do next depends on you."

"Also, don't forget your military achievements."

Chen Shan spoke with great composure, which greatly shocked Nan Tu Rou and Xiao Zhen.

Before the two could ask any further questions, Chen Shan spoke up again.

"By the way, General, tell everyone that you arranged this mission."

"That way there will be less trouble."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he led eight hundred brothers back directly to the Red Bad Camp.

After Chen Shan and his group returned, all the legions of the Tiannan Army received the news, and Kong Qingzhi also learned of the situation at the same time.

The Sirius Army suffered heavy losses in a night attack, with all its food supplies gone, leaving it unable to confront the enemy head-on!

And withdraw your troops immediately!

This completely thwarted Kong Qingzhi's original plans!

"What a Nan Tu Rou! A woman who doesn't act like a good wife and mother, yet she's so cunning?"

At the commander's residence, Kong Qingzhi's face was ashen. He had thought that the previous defeat would make Nan Tu Rou more obedient and wait for the court's decision.

Unexpectedly, even after failing, they still chose to launch a night raid.

And they actually did it!

"General, I heard it was the Deficit Battalion that carried out the operation. The Third Legion has certainly found a good subordinate."

Hearing the deputy general's words, Kong Qingzhi's face became even more unpleasant.

But in an instant, a smile appeared on Kong Qingzhi's face.

"No problem, I am the commander of the Tiannan Army. Immediately order the Third Army Corps to take action and repel the Tianlang Army!"

Kong Qingzhi acted swiftly, almost simultaneously submitting a memorial to the court with Nan Tu Rou.

As for whom the imperial court believes, that's a matter of power struggle between the forces behind both sides.

With the retreat of the Sirius Army, the northern border of the Xia Kingdom was temporarily stabilized.

After several battles, the Deficit Battalion has become increasingly mature, and the original recruit battalion has come to occupy a pivotal position within the Third Army Corps.

The mere fact that these eight hundred men launched a night raid, forcing the Sirius Army to retreat, was enough to earn the admiration of the other battalions.

Moreover, he also has the support of Nan Tu Rou.

In the Deficit Camp, Xiao Zhen and Chen Shan directly rewarded all the soldiers.

The entire camp was bustling with activity, and even Nan Tu Rou personally came to visit.
