The Prodigal Son

Both the Ning Army and the Yan Army followed two different work schedules.

Wartime and peacetime.

During wartime, the roll call is at 5:00 AM; during peacetime, the roll call is at 4:45 AM.

Although it is already autumn, it still gets light very early.

As dawn broke, the Wudang Flying Army had already quietly assembled.

Ning Huang had already quietly infiltrated the city gate of the forward fortress.

Gui San and Gui Si also led fifty of Qin Yu's top fighters to silently infiltrate outside another city gate, ready to intercept and kill the Yan army that was going to report to each prefecture.

At this moment, the 10,000 Yan soldiers in the front-line fortresses of each prefecture were still fast asleep.

"call out!"

A sharp shriek rang out.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, a firework exploded in the sky.

At the moment the fireworks exploded, Qin Yu led the Wudang Flying Army straight towards the front fortress of Zhu County.

"Thump thump..."

More than 20,000 men charged out on horseback, and the whole earth began to tremble.

The two armies' forward fortifications were only four miles apart.

The deafening noise also woke up some of the Yan soldiers in the fortress.

"Is it thundering?"

In their daze, many Yan soldiers had this idea.

But soon, the soldiers who woke up realized that something was wrong.

The rumbling sound never stopped!

That's not thunder at all, it's clearly the sound of a large cavalry force moving around!

"Clang clang clang..."

At the same time, the bells rang urgently.

This is……

Warning bells ring!

Enemy attack!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly, get up! Put on your armor!"

"Hurry, hurry..."

In an instant, a great deal of panicked noises rang out in the fortress.

In their panic, the soldiers scrambled to their feet, not caring whose armor was next to them, and put on whatever was convenient.

However, many more people were awakened by the chaotic noises and were still groggy, unaware of what was happening.

It wasn't until the sound of "enemy attack" rang out repeatedly, or he was kicked several times, that he suddenly came to his senses and began to look for his armor.

While they were in complete chaos, Ning Huang had already cleaved open the city gate with a single, powerful strike.

Then, without any hesitation, Ning Huang's body almost transformed into a streak of light as he rapidly rushed towards the beacon tower on the fortress wall.

Just as the panicked Yan army was about to light the beacon fires, a sharp glint of blades swept in, carrying with it the scent of death.

The Wudang Flying Army arrived as promised.

"Rush!"

"Charge in! Kill them all!"

"They killed the swallow-dog!"

"Brothers, the time has come to make our mark!"

The generals and officers of the Wudang Flying Army kept shouting at the top of their lungs to boost morale.

As soon as they rushed to the city gate, a hail of arrows immediately rained down on the panicked Yan army on the city wall.

Whizzing……

The Yan army quickly launched a counterattack.

However, they had far too few people.

Their sporadic arrow rain was quickly swallowed up by the Ning army's massive arrow rain.

"Kill them!"

As the vanguard, Xiong Quhu charged into the city, wielding his Xuanhua axe and relentlessly reaping the lives of the Yan soldiers who rushed out before they could even put on their armor.

Behind him, a large contingent of Daning cavalry poured in through the city gate.

They didn't linger long; after entering the city, they quickly dispersed into groups and launched a surprise attack on another part of the fortress.

They only need to defeat the enemy; there are more important tasks ahead.

The task of mopping up the enemy troops is to be left to the troops behind!

brush!

Qin Yu swept his blade across, beheading two Yan soldiers who had just rushed out of their tents.

Amidst the gushing of blood, Qin Yu led his personal guards in a relentless charge forward.

Most of the time, Qin Yu didn't have a chance to make a move.

Even knowing his extraordinary strength, the guards still protected him firmly.

This is the duty of the Royal Guard.

As the Wudang Flying Army rapidly converged at the city gate on the other side, a small squad of Yan cavalry rushed out of the city gate in a panic, running towards Zhu County without regard for anything else.

Report a message!

They had to rush to each prefecture to report to Zong Zhao the news of the Ning army's shameless sneak attack!

However, not far after the group rushed out of the city gate, several dark figures rushed out from both sides of the official road.

Swish swish...

With a flash of light, the men were decapitated before they could even understand what was happening.

Only one expert at the eighth level barely managed to dodge the fatal blow.

However, before he could launch a counterattack, two ghostly figures suddenly attacked from both sides at the same time.

A cold glint pierced the dawn, and blood splattered.

Even an eighth-realm expert would have no chance to resist when attacked from both sides by two ninth-realm masters.

"Quickly, strip them of their armor!"

Gui San quickly issued the order.

The crowd rushed forward and quickly stripped them of their armor.

"Rush!"

"Keep up!"

"Pour it on!"

Behind the Wudang Flying Army, Liang Hongqiao, wielding a fine iron spear, led her two thousand cavalrymen, who had not been trained for long, into the fortress.

Yes, the original thousand cavalrymen became two thousand.

However, it was just one person and one horse!

Now, they don't need one person with two horses.

All you need to do is run faster than everyone else and storm into the fortress as quickly as possible to wipe out the remaining enemies.

The strong smell of blood rushed into my nostrils on the morning breeze.

In the past, many people might have found it difficult to adapt.

But after a period of battlefield adaptation training, they felt only excitement at the pungent smell of blood.

"Die!"

Liang Hongqiao thrust out her spear and pierced through two Yan soldiers who were running around like headless flies.

"Handsome guy is awesome!"

Du Fan laughed loudly and swung his sword to kill an enemy soldier.

"Stop talking nonsense and wipe out the remaining enemies!"

With a loud shout, Liang Hongqiao charged wildly across the battlefield littered with corpses on her warhorse.

Every time she thrust out her spear, one or two enemy soldiers would die under her gun.

Behind them, the slower foot soldiers poured into the fortress in droves.

Faced with the high morale of the Ning army, apart from a very few powerful Yan soldiers, almost none of the Yan soldiers dared to engage in direct combat.

They either had to kneel down and surrender, or they would be hacked to death in the chaos of their escape.

The powerful Yan army was quickly overwhelmed by the Ning army, which outnumbered them several times over.

"law……"

Qin Yu led his men through the fortress and quickly arrived at the other side of the city.

"Did anyone run out to report the news?"

Qin Yu asked Gui San in a deep voice.

"No!"

Gui San responded.

"very good!"

Qin Yu ordered his men to disperse and seal off the area, while simultaneously ordering them to quickly collect the armor of the Yan army for them to wear.

"Thirteenth Master, why are we collecting enemy armor?"

Covered in blood from the fight, Qi Dachui asked Qin Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Of course, it's to conquer Zhu County!"

Qin Yu answered patiently.

"Don't we have Senior Ning?"

Qi Dachui was puzzled, "Why don't we just ask Senior Ning to break open the city gates of Zhu County?"

"There are still many cities ahead, we can't rely on Senior Ning for everything!" Qin Yu explained, "We need our own strategies to conquer them, Senior Ning is just an assistant!"

Ning Huang is indeed strong.

But if they rely on Ning Huang for everything, what if Ning Huang goes off to do something else or gets injured? Would they stop fighting?

With Ning Huang's assistance, it will definitely be better.

Even without Ning Huang, they can still conquer cities and seize strongholds!

"oh."

Qi Dachui nodded slightly, it was unclear whether he understood or not...
