The night wind blows.

The willow trees on the river bank rustled.

The armies of both sides confronted each other like beasts about to fight, but no one took action throughout the day.

At dusk, Luther observed that the royal family seemed to be burying pots and making rice around the camp tent.

When he was unable to see his fingers, he sent a team of 200 people to row across the river and touch the tent of the Yanzhou army.

In order to stop the attack of Yanzhou troops, they blew up all the bridges on the Yuntai River.

The team got ashore and headed towards the Yanzhou army camp under the cover of night.

When three hundred meters away from the camp, the leading mercenary took out a telescope and observed it.

They dared not keep approaching, worried about being discovered.

This distance is not far or near, and it is suitable for observation.

Under the telescope, the Yanzhou army's tent was quiet at this moment, and only some Yanzhou soldiers were training.

Moreover, these soldiers were lazy and seemed to be worried that the other party would attack.

Between the camp tent, there is a burning bonfire.

Through the light of the bonfire, they found that the other party's artillery was arranged in irregular order.

The muzzle is not aimed uniformly from outside.

What surprised them the most was that on the wooden stand next to the bonfire, there were a row of muskets.

There are basically such wooden frames in front of each tent.

This means that the soldiers of the Yanzhou army are not waiting for trouble and are sleeping without any defense at this time.

Overall, the opponent's defense is very loose.

After detecting this, the mercenaries quickly returned and reported the news to Luther.

"General Luther, this is an excellent opportunity." Wang Xie has not yet slept, just waiting for this result. "It is obvious that the King of Yan's army is too arrogant. This is called arrogance and defeat. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to fight another turnaround."

Luther was also ups and downs at this moment, and his heart was jumping unyieldingly.

Even if this is a trap, as long as their army can reach within three hundred meters near the tent, the soldiers can rush in.

When he confronted the firearms of King Yan, he lost some confidence.

By number, a hand-to-hand battle with the King of Yan may be able to win.

Thinking of this, he nodded to Wang Xie, "Immediately, ordered the soldiers to cross the river, take off their shoes, and quietly surround their camp. When the cannons fired here, they launched an attack on the camp."

Worried that his number was not enough, he said again: "I will need another 50,000 to go to Jinling City."

They retreated to the second trench, and Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an transferred soldiers from the eastern front to the trench on the western front, replenishing their troops to 200,000.

Only about 50,000 were left on the eastern front to guard against the King of Yan's troops to attack.

After all, the King of Yan and his generals have always been tricky in using troops.

But in order to ensure that the sneak attack was successful, he felt that it was not enough, so he borrowed another 50,000 yuan.

After all, there are 100,000 troops stationed in Jinling City, so it is useless to keep them.

The trench was lost, and Jinling City could not be kept.

Wang Xie nodded and immediately sent someone to the city.

Soon, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an arrived, and there were 50,000 soldiers and horses with them.

This incident also alarmed the three of them.

Niutoutan was defeated, and they lost about 70,000 people.

The news reached Jinling, and the three of them were in a state of ease.

They thought they had Luther and his 20,000 mercenaries, but they did not expect to be defeated.

Moreover, it took only two days for the King of Yan's army to take down Niutou Beach, which made them feel desperate.

Therefore, we learned that there is a way to determine the outcome of a battle.

They immediately came to the trench fortifications to watch the battle.

"General Luther, all of these 50,000 are the elites of my Xie family. I will give them all to you. We must annihilate the Yan King's army and kill their majesty." Xie Duan said.

After clenching his fists, he continued, "Besides, the King of Yan is in the camp and killed the King of Yan, and Dasong is ours."

When Xie Duan said this, his whole body trembled excitedly.

During the Niutoutan War, Wang Xie discovered the King of Yan opposite the river through a telescope.

Therefore, he was sure that the King of Yan was in the camp.

This is also the reason why he and Han Zheng and the other three are so excited.

In their opinion, since the King of Yan went to Yanzhou, he has never lost all the wars in all kinds of battles, and it is reasonable to be arrogant and arrogant.

But this time, they will let him die in his arrogance.

"I will do my best." Luther looked solemn.

He also wanted to destroy the King of Yan.

The war in Niutoutan made him realize that the King of Yan was a powerful enemy.

This is a huge threat to Britain's interests in the Eastern Land.

Taking advantage of Dasong's civil strife to curb him, this is the best opportunity.

After a bit of anger, Luther summoned the generals to deploy a sneak attack.

"Let me swim directly across the river when I can swim, and I can't cross the river by boat." Luther ordered.

It takes a lot of time to cross the river just by 250,000 troops.

He estimated that after completing the siege, he would be able to launch an attack before dawn.

The generals nodded and each took the positions of their soldiers.

Afterwards, he returned to the army and led the soldiers across the river. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to take off their shoes according to Luther's order.

After crossing the river, the barefoot soldiers either took swords or carried bayonets and muskets toward the Yanzhou army camp.

Because of their barefoot, they didn't have a sound when they walked.

The night was still quiet, and the darkness concealed the figures of soldiers of the Clan.

Walking around the camp, the 250,000 powerful clan army surrounded the Yanzhou army's camp.

The encirclement was completed, and immediately soldiers returned to the trench fortifications and told Luther the news.

Upon hearing this, Luther took out his pocket watch from his arms and glanced at it. It was the hour of Dasong.

Since it is still spring, white is short and long, and the sky is still dark.

Nodding, he gave orders to the artillery.

Immediately, three thunderous cannons sounded across the sky from the trench fortifications.

"kill!"

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shi clan surrounding the camp shouted and rushed towards the camp of Yanzhou army.

Two hundred meters away from the camp, the soldiers of the royal palace holding the patrol immediately ran to the barracks.

However, these soldiers of the royal palace took not straight lines, but curved routes.

But the soldiers of the strait clan who rushed over obviously would not think too much.

At the general's order, they just wanted to rush into the barracks and kill all the soldiers in Yanzhou.

However, just as they entered the barracks within 200 meters, a soldier running in the front suddenly felt that he had stepped on something.

The thing was still sunken. He didn't think much about it and continued to look at him.

But at this moment, a loud "boom!" sounded, and a huge ball of flame rushed out of the land.

The soldiers at the center of the explosion suddenly flew with flesh and blood, and the soldiers nearby were also blown away by shock waves. Many soldiers' eardrums were almost shattered, and only the sound of tinnitus was left in the world.

This is just the beginning, and then it surrounds the entire camp, with bursts of explosions everywhere.

The sudden explosion stunned the soldiers of the straits and stopped.

At this moment, the soldiers of the royal palace rushed out of the camp, picked up their rifled rifleds, and arrived at their own position in an orderly manner.
Chapter completed!
