There is no moon tonight.

There are no stars either.

It's dark and windy, but it's a good time to steal someone, no, it's a good time for a sneak attack.

Wuyaguan is closed.

The lights in the Red Flame Army tent were still on.

Wu Mian and Yan Jinong stood outside the Chinese army commander's tent, both of them silently looking at Wuyaguan in the distance.

The Red Flame Army has guarded Wuyaguan for many years, and the two of them are very familiar with that pass.

Because you are familiar with it, you know how difficult it is to attack.

A strong attack cannot be taken down no matter what.

Otherwise, the Wu State's more than 100,000 troops would not have dared to attack Wuyakuan over the years.

Then you have to be smart.

Now, the 10,000 soldiers of the Red Flame Army have arrived in the dark to the east of Wuya Pass. They are not close to the pass wall and are still within an arrow's distance.

Yan Jidao was heading to the west of the wall with a hundred or so warriors who had some knowledge of martial arts.

Yan Zifu also followed Yan Jidao in the dark with 20,000 soldiers, and his team also stopped an arrow's distance away.

If Yan Jidao and the others could bury the more than 400 fireworks they brought under the wall, and if they could successfully detonate them, Wu Mian believed that the power would be able to collapse that small section of the city wall.

Yan Zifu's 20,000 soldiers can rush up to the wall and stand still, and the rest of the soldiers can rush forward to help.

A bloody battle with half the winner and half the loser!

"Once the explosion is successful, I will bring 10,000 soldiers to support Yan Zifu."

Wu Mian looked at Yan Jinong and said: "Once a war breaks out in the west, a large number of Wu troops will definitely be attracted."

"Brother Yan will lead the last ten thousand soldiers and take all the remaining fireworks to the east to close the wall."

"We must not underestimate him. Xia Li is a famous general of the Wu Kingdom. He will definitely not send everyone to the east. There will inevitably be a bloody battle in the east."

Yan Jinong's thick eyebrows were furrowed. He took a deep breath and nodded, "No matter whether we win or lose this battle, the Red Flame Army... I'm afraid they will basically be defeated."

Wu Mian pondered for a moment: "Actually, it would be better not to fight him."

Yan Jinong was silent for a long time, "The replenishment of soldiers is not that fast. Even if we recapture Wuya Pass, the number of troops guarding the pass will be seriously insufficient!"

"Xia Li still has soldiers from Qicheng Village!"

"They're all cavalry!"

"If these cavalrymen get the order and come here, Wuya Pass will probably change hands again!"

Wu Mian said nothing.

He had nothing to say.

Xi Wei said that Concubine Li's fault should be redeemed either with the blood of the Red Flame Army or with the head of the third prince Ning Zhiyuan.

The Prince Regent was killed by a trap set up by Concubine Li. The Imperial City Administration was watching, Zhongli Mansion was watching, Wen Boiyu was watching, and everyone in the world was watching!

They need an explanation!

If this explanation makes them dissatisfied... the Red Flame Army will definitely be destroyed!

Ning Zhiyuan will definitely be captured and executed in Lingchi!

The Yan Mansion in Kyoto will definitely flow into a river of blood!

That would be unbearable pain for Ning Guo!

Yan Jidao finally chose to save Ning Zhiyuan's life.

Then we need to let the 80,000 soldiers of the Red Flame Army die!

Use their deaths to exchange for peace in Ningguo, or in exchange for Ningguo's continued existence.

Is this fair?

Wu Mian didn't know.

He only knows that there is no fairness in this world.

Xi Wei said this is the overall situation!

For the sake of the overall situation, give up the small situation.

Therefore, these 80,000 soldiers are just a small team and abandoned!

Who should be blamed for this?

"This is the fate of the Red Flame Army!"

Yan Jinong looked up at the dark night sky and said again: "When the Marquis of Shangche Mansion was destroyed, the Red Flame Army should have died."

"It's just that for some unknown reason, the late emperor let the Red Flame Army go and let the Yan Mansion take charge of this army."

"Now my little sister has died on the top of the Western Mountain, with no bones left."

"She made a wrong step, and with that one step, the Red Flame Army and the Yan Mansion fell into an abyss of eternal destruction."

"I know what this fight is about."

"Of course it would be best if we could retake Wuyaguan. If we can't... I won't be able to live in this world... They are all my soldiers!"

"I couldn't bear to watch them die like this."

Yan Jinong withdrew his gaze, looked at Wu Mian, and asked again: "I guess the Shenwu Army is already on its way here, right?"

Wu Mian shook his head, "It's not the Divine Guards Army, but the Divine Guards Army of Shuzhou."

"Old General Yuan Su and Yuan brought it personally."

Yan Jinong nodded slightly, "Mrs. Fan's order?"

"No, the order of the eldest son of the emperor!"

Yan Jinong was startled, then heard Wu Mian say again: "That Divine Guard Army was originally created by Mrs. Fan for the eldest son of the emperor."

"The only one who commands the Divine Guards is Mrs. Fan's Peach Blossom Order."

"On the top of the Western Mountain, the regent gave the Peach Blossom Order to the eldest son of the emperor."

"Originally, the Divine Guards were supposed to escort the emperor's eldest son back to Kyoto and protect him from ascending the throne as emperor, but the emperor's eldest son and the regent were brothers."

"His order..."

Wu Mian did not finish what he said, because Yan Jinong should understand it without finishing.

The Divine Guards are here to settle accounts with the Red Flame Army!

It’s not just the 50,000 God Guards who are coming!

There are also three thousand wind guards led by Changsun Hongyi!

There are also five hundred soldiers from the Xuanjia Battalion brought by Zhou Zheng.

And the five hundred Tiger Camp soldiers brought by An Zizai!

Even though their numbers are small, they are as powerful as one against a hundred!

They are all Li Chenan's most loyal supporters. Although Concubine Li is dead, in their opinion, her life cannot be compared with that of the regent.

This account is far from settled!

Xi Wei came faster.

Xi Wei thought that instead of two armies from the Ning State fighting each other to the death on the land of the Ning State, it would be better to let the Red Flame Army attack the key point and die.

If you die like this, you can at least save the face of the Red Flame Army.

It can also save the face of Yan Mansion——

The eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne and becomes emperor. If he is not satisfied with his wishes, he will issue an imperial edict and the Yan Mansion will no longer exist.

Because Wen Boiyu will definitely carry out his will!

And the garrison force of Yujing City is almost entirely composed of people from Dingguo Hou Mansion!

The eldest son of the emperor was the one supported by the Dingguo Houfu.

Yan Jidao made a choice.

Of course Wu Mian also made his choice.

Although Yan Jinong felt a lot of pain in his heart, he also knew that this was the only way.

Dead end!

What he hopes now is that the Red Flame Army can retake Wuya Pass, so that he can die a more beautiful death.

But can tonight's plan succeed?
