Not long after, beacon fire suddenly broke out in the direction of Nanying, and the sound of shouts of killing echoed in the mountains on both sides of the bank, as if a civil strife was suddenly breaking out.

The beacon fire soaring into the sky was clearly visible for more than ten miles around. Nie Zefeng, who was watching the battle on the mountain, saw it, and Huang Quan, who was riding his horse as fast as flying a few miles away, also saw it.

Seeing the fire in the Chu camp, Huang Quan's solemn face suddenly showed excitement, and he said: "Fa Xiaozhi's strategy has been successful. He ordered the whole army to speed up their advance. In a quarter of an hour, they must rush into the enemy camp."

The excited Huang Quan whipped his horse, scolded his four thousand Shu troops, and rushed towards the Chu camp with all his strength.

Fazheng said that day that Nie Zefeng had been treating him favorably and neglecting to guard against him in order to win people's hearts, and he did not know that he had noticed that Nie Zefeng had the intention to attack Baidi.

Therefore, Fa Zheng devised a plan. He led four thousand Shu soldiers to set fire to the camp from the inside to disrupt the Chu army's morale. At this time, Huang Quan mobilized all his troops and took advantage of the chaos to attack from the outside.

In this way, the two men's 8,000 troops and horses responded to the external alliance, which would surely catch the Chu army by surprise and defeat Nie Zefeng's army in one fell swoop.

Now, Huang Quan, who had come with the White Emperor's army, saw that the Chu camp was on fire as Fa Zheng had promised, and thought that the plan was done, so of course he couldn't wait to rush to support Fa Zheng.

Four thousand Shu troops were running wildly under the cover of the moonlight. The rumbling shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. A bloody fierce battle suddenly appeared in their minds.

After turning the corner, blazing fire light rushed into the eyes, and Chu camp was right in front of them.

Huang Quan, who was stationed on his horse and looked from afar, could clearly see the Chu army's east camp. Fires were rising into the sky, and the sound of shouts and clashing swords could be clearly heard even from miles away.

Seeing this scene, Huang Quan could no longer suppress his excitement on his face, and without thinking too much, he raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers from Xichuan, follow me into the enemy camp and kill these jackals that invade my hometown -

—”

Amidst the angry roar, Huang Quan rode out on horseback. The four thousand Shu soldiers behind him took courage and charged towards the enemy camp with shouts.

Running wildly along the way, Huang Quan and his four thousand unarmed Shu soldiers roared like newborn calves and ran straight into the blazing enemy camp.

However, when Huang Quan broke into the door, the original excitement on his face suddenly dissipated.

In the field of vision, there was no such chaotic scene as Huang Quan had imagined. In Nuo Da's camp, not only could no soldiers of the Chu army be seen, but no soldiers of Shu who were responding to Fa Zheng could be seen.

And those raging fires were not the burning tents as he thought, but just clusters of bonfires piled up deliberately.

Huang Quan was stunned by this sight, and so were the soldiers who were rushing in. Everyone was at a loss for a moment.

An empty camp, piles of bonfires... After being stunned for a moment, three words suddenly flashed through Huang Quan's mind:

Fell into a trap!

"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the whole army to Baidi City immediately!" Huang Quan, who was shocked to realize that he had been tricked, shouted anxiously and turned his horse to retreat first.

Before the shouts ended, the sound of war drums suddenly rose, and the loud shouts suddenly pierced the eardrums. In the blink of an eye, thousands of troops and horses suddenly came out of the darkness, heading towards Huang Quan from all directions.

and his Shu soldiers came to kill him.

Ambushes are everywhere!

Huang Quan was horrified and turned around on his horse, trying to lead the others away.

When he had just withdrawn from the enemy camp and had taken less than twenty steps, countless torches appeared in front of him, and countless Chu troops surged forward, blocking his way.

In the light of the fire, the white-haired Huang Zhong rode out, raised his sword and shouted: "Listen, little Huang Quan, you have fallen into my lord's scheme. If you don't get off your horse and surrender, how long will it take!"

"Fell into a trap!"

Huang Quan's heart felt like a heavy blow.

He knew that he had fallen into Nie Zefeng's scheme, but he really couldn't figure out how Nie Zefeng knew about his conspiracy with Fa Zheng.

Could it be said that Fazheng has been discovered by Nie Zefeng?

At this time, Huang Quan still didn't understand that Fazheng, like Zhang Song, had betrayed their lord Liu Zhang long before he met Nie Zefeng.

At the moment of panic, Huang Zhong on the opposite side had already galloped out on horseback. The Chu army's infantry and cavalry, who were as ferocious as tigers and wolves, rushed towards the panicked Shu soldiers as if they had seen delicious prey.

Huang Quan had no choice but to fight to the death.

Gritting his teeth, Huang Quan mustered up his courage and waved his army to kill the oncoming Chu army.

Huang Quan has only one belief, and that is to fight his way out.

Two armies of equal size collided violently, under the light of fire and with rumbling shouts of killing.

The sounds of screams, horses neighing, and people shouting instantly intertwined into a chaotic battle.

In this night battle, the winner was decided the moment the two armies met.

Although the Shu troops commanded by Huang Quan were better equipped than the Chu troops, in terms of willpower and combat experience, they were not even as good as the county troops in Jingyang and Yangzhou, let alone the elite Chu troops who had experienced hundreds of battles.

The wolf-like soldiers of the Chu army brandished the swords and guns in their hands and mercilessly attacked the Shu soldiers. How could they not overwhelm the Shu soldiers with their bloodthirsty killing intent and crazy momentum?

After only holding on for a moment, the fighting spirit of the four thousand Shu soldiers collapsed. They either scattered and collapsed, or surrendered on the spot.

Huang Quan, who was galloping on his horse, could only manage to rush less than twenty steps, and then he was horrified to find that more than half of his troops and horses had been lost, and the only remaining soldiers around him were only a thousand remnants.

"Is this the strength of the Chu army? Our soldiers in Yizhou are really far from our opponents..."

Huang Quan was shocked when he heard loud shouts in front of him. He looked up and saw a white-haired veteran rushing towards him like lightning with a long knife in his hand.

The sword in his hand was slashing straight at him with the power of the violent waves.

Before the blade of the knife could reach him, the surging energy had already suppressed Huang Quan until he couldn't breathe.

The sword was as fast as lightning. Huang Quan didn't think much about it and could only instinctively raise the sword to block it.

However, when he had only half raised the knife in his hand, the lightning-fast knife had already whizzed towards him.

Bang——a muffled sound and a scream.

Amidst the lightning and flint, Huang Quan felt dizzy and his whole body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken. While he was still in the air, surging blood spurted out from his mouth.

With a "bang", Huang Quan fell heavily to the ground and rolled several feet away before stopping.

He was lying on the ground and could no longer get up. He could only vomit blood one after another in pain.

Just one move.

"Hmph, if the king hadn't wanted to capture you alive, I would have killed you with this knife." Huang Zhong dragged the knife forward and snorted coldly.

At that time, Huang Zhong tied up Huang Quan with his soldiers and escorted him to the camp to see his lord.

Huang Zhong, on the other hand, brandished his sword and continued his killing spree.

Under the siege of Huang Zhong and his Changsha soldiers, most of the four thousand Shu soldiers were killed in less than a quarter of an hour, and the rest surrendered.

At this time, the besiegers led by generals Zhao Yun and Gao Shunji had just arrived. Seeing Huang Zhong's victory, all the generals were envious. Without saying a word, they marched straight to Baidi City, which was ten miles away.

Tens of thousands of troops, densely packed with torches, looked like a long golden-scaled dragon tumbling northward along the river bank.

On the hill, the game between Nie Zefeng and Fazheng was just beginning to end.

Nie Zefeng, who had average chess skills, lost this game, but Yamashita won the game completely.

As the shouts of killing gradually subsided, Nie Zefeng knew that the battle was over and it was time for him to march into Baidi City with his head held high.

After riding down the mountain, Nie Zefeng and Fa Zheng headed straight for the camp.

Looking through the firelight as bright as day, I saw that the front of the camp was already a bloody place. Bodies were lying on the ground, and the ground had been dyed into a bloody quagmire.

The soldiers who had not rushed to Baidi City were escorting groups of Shu soldiers to surrender, and they came excitedly to the camp.

Nie Zefeng entered the camp, raised his whip to greet his victorious soldiers, and received praise from the god-like lord. The mood of the soldiers, who had just calmed down, became boiling again.

When they returned to the Chinese army's tent, Huang Quan, who was covered in blood, was already tied up behind his back and being escorted here. He was suffering from internal injuries and was breathing heavily.

"Huang Gongheng, I invited you before, but you refused to come to the banquet because you were sick. Now you come uninvited and bring such a big gift as Baidi City. Why do you think you are doing this?"

Nie Zefeng looked at him with a smile, mocking the defeated general in front of him in a mocking tone.

Huang Quan was angry and ashamed. He glared at Nie Zefeng and said angrily: "My lord, your surname is Yan, has always been respectful to you. How dare you do such a shameless act of betrayal!"

Nie Zefeng only stared at him indifferently, using silent intimidation to suppress his arrogance.

Huang Quan was holding back his anger, but what he got was Nie Zefeng's indifference. He was full of resentment but didn't know how to vent it.

At this time, a person behind him sneered: "It's not that our Lord is treacherous, but that Liu Zhang is too stupid. He will only look stupider if he insists on bullshit trustworthiness with stupid people."

Huang Quan was startled and turned around suddenly, only to be surprised to find that Fazheng walked in with a swagger.

Fazheng's words deeply touched Nie Zefeng's heart, and he couldn't help but nod slightly to show his approval.

"Xiao Nao, why are you..."

Huang Quan looked confused. He originally thought that Fazheng had been discovered by Nie Zefeng and was either a prisoner or killed. However, he did not expect that Fazheng would break in like this.

For a moment of confusion, Huang Quan's expression suddenly changed.

He was not stupid, he knew that Fazheng had actually betrayed Liu Zhang, so the plan of combining inside and outside was basically a trick directed by Fazheng to lure him into sending troops to steal Baidi City.

When the truth came out, Huang Quan was horrified, and his face, which had been suppressed until it turned red, suddenly surged with endless anger.

"Fa Zheng, my lord treats you well, how dare you be so shameless and willing to be a thief who betrays my lord!" The indignant Huang Quan asked sternly.

What he responded to was a disdainful sneer.
