I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Lieutenant Kim, aren't we being too obvious?"

"We haven't even sent out a single patrol team. Anyone with a brain knows we have an ambush in Tucheng."

In Tucheng, a group of soldiers surrounded Jin Ge and spoke among themselves.

Jin Ge was sharpening his knife; the gleaming blade shone even brighter in the moonlight.

He was no longer a general of the Northern Barbarians; now he was merely a deputy general under the Great Zhou's ever-victorious general.

He said, "Of course, you can't be so obvious when dealing with others, but do you know who this person is?"

"Who?"

The soldiers asked curiously.

If the other party still falls for such an obvious trap, wouldn't they be a fool?

Jin Ge sneered, "Murong Jin, the biggest idiot in Northern Mang!"

"Such an obvious trap, no one else would fall for it, but Murong Jin would, he definitely would."

"Really?"

The soldier didn't believe it, saying, "Isn't Murong Jin the second son of the Northern Mang emperor? Can the emperor's son be this stupid?"

Jin Ge continued to mock, "He's just that stupid. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soldier rushed over to report: "Deputy General Jin, the Northern Mang army outside the city has moved, but they have only sent one detachment; it's a feint attack."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge stood up, sheathed his longsword, and calmly gave the order:

"Proceed according to the original plan!"

"yes!"

The soldiers clasped their hands in greeting and each took their assigned duties.

On the high slope outside the city, Murong Jin and his personal guards remained lying prone, but their warhorses were already prepared not far behind them, and the main force below the slope was also ready, waiting for his order to launch a full-scale attack.

"Second Young Master, what if there's no ambush in Tu City? Wouldn't sending men to launch a feigned attack just be a pointless waste of time?"

One of the guards suddenly thought of this possibility and said...

Actually, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

As the rear of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's not impossible that Tucheng was left undefended.

Murong Jin, who was lying down, glared at him fiercely, reached out and slapped his helmet, almost shoving his head into the ground.

Murong Jin lowered his voice and angrily shouted, "You were the one who said there was a trap, and you were also the one who said there wasn't. What exactly do you mean?"

The guard raised his head, straightened his helmet, and said apologetically:

"Second Young Master, I'm not sure if there's an ambush in Tu City. I just feel we can't linger here too long. After all, this is the heart of the Great Zhou. What if the Great Zhou army from other places comes to our aid and surrounds us?"

"Get lost!"

Murong Jin retorted, "Can't you say something nice?"

As he was cursing, the other guards suddenly pointed down and warned, "Second Young Master, look! There really is an ambush."

Following the direction pointed out by his personal guard, Murong Jin discovered that the small force he had sent out to launch a feint attack had been surrounded by the Great Zhou army that had suddenly emerged from the earthen city.

Murong Jin grinned, and with a bang, drew his golden sword from its sheath and stood up.

"Issue my order: all troops, launch an attack! A swift and decisive victory!"

"yes!"

The large force that had been lying in ambush behind the slope swarmed out and instantly surrounded the Great Zhou army.

A short while later, Murong Jin rode up to the front of the formation. When he saw that the leader of the Great Zhou army was Jin Ge, he couldn't help but grin and say:

"So it's you, you cripple. How come you're still alive after all these years?"

Jin Ge, mounted on his horse, grinned and said, "How could I bear to die if you're not dead?"

"Shut the fuck up!"

Murong Jin pointed his knife at him, "Surrender now! I've seen through your plan. Those who don't surrender will be killed on the spot."

Jin Ge laughed and said, "Why don't you take a look behind you first?"

Murong Jin was puzzled and turned to look.

In the distance, layers of dark figures could be seen surrounding them.

Upon closer inspection, Murong Jin realized that it was another Great Zhou army, far outnumbering his own.

"Damn it, we've fallen into an ambush!"

Murong Jin shouted and was about to order the army to break through the encirclement.

He thought he was the oriole, but he was just the mantis.

But the Great Zhou had made preparations in advance, and it would not allow him to break through easily.

Moreover, the generals leading the troops of the Great Zhou were exceptionally brave and skillful in their deployment, so he was unable to break through.

In a short period of time, he had already lost half of his troops.

The remaining troops could only remain holed up in the city.

"Second Young Master, what should we do? There really is an ambush!"

"We've really fallen into an ambush; there's no escape now."

Some of the guards were so panicked that they couldn't even hold their swords steady.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jin's face turned extremely ugly.

They originally thought that by turning the tables on the enemy, even if there was an ambush in Tucheng, they could wipe out the entire Zhou army.

However, Jin Ge is neither a mantis nor a sparrow.

The Great Zhou had another ambush, but now he's become the mantis.

The shouts and curses of the Great Zhou could already be heard outside.

Upon hearing the voice, Murong Jin found it somewhat familiar.

"Murong Jin, get out here!"

"Long time no see, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me as your cousin anymore?"

"We're relatives, why would I kill you?"

Empress Murong Huang!

Murong Jin was taken aback. He cautiously peeked out from behind the low wall and found that it really was Murong Huang.

However, at this moment, Murong Huang had already taken off her dragon robe and put on a close-fitting suit of armor.

call out!

Just then.

An arrow flew past, grazing Murong Jin's scalp.

Murong Jin was startled and quickly pulled his head back in.

The Empress raised her hand to stop Jin Ge beside her, saying, "Why shoot him? It wouldn't be fun if we killed him."

Jin Ge then put down his bow and arrow and shouted, "Murong Jin, get out here right now! You're surrounded. Hand over your weapons and I'll spare your lives!"

Murong Jin, who had fallen to the ground, straightened his helmet and cursed under his breath. He would rather die than surrender.

How many of us are left?

Murong Jin asked the guards beside him.

The guard's face was contorted with pain: "Second Young Master, we're less than half gone. We can't break through."

"We have to break through, even if we can't. Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

"Listen to me, tie the knives to your hands, charge in one direction, and get as many people out as you can."

"yes!"

When the soldiers' hands were tied.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and the sounds of fighting came from outside.

One of the guards mustered his courage and peeked out, then quickly withdrew: "Second Young Master, it seems our reinforcements have arrived!"

Murong Jin tied a tight knot in his hand: "Where are we going to get reinforcements? This is the heart of the Great Zhou territory."

The guard pointed outside: "Second Young Master, they really are our reinforcements!"

Murong Jin then looked over and saw that the outside was in complete chaos. A Northern Mang army, which appeared from who-knows-where, was fighting the Great Zhou army, and the battle was raging fiercely.

Murong Jin grinned and immediately stood up, shouting:

"Our reinforcements have arrived! Follow me and launch a counterattack! We'll attack from both sides and capture the Empress alive!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! We've captured the Empress alive!"
