Empire

In the cold and dark night, the bonfire in the Dynasty Army camp was burning, and snoring was heard in the military tents.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards fought from sunrise to nightfall. They were exhausted and slept deeply. They needed to conserve their energy and face tomorrow's battle in the best attitude.

These well-born Imperial Guards quickly matured in the brutal fighting.

It was like a knockout competition of survival of the fittest. Those who could return to the camp alive were the best.

The bodies of those weak Imperial Guards were cold and stiff at this moment, lying without dignity in the wild outside the wall of Qingyang Prefecture.

Unless they won this battle, they might be able to collect the bodies of the Imperial Guards who died in the battle, so that they could at least rest in peace.

If they lost this battle, the dead Imperial Guards would become food for vultures and wild dogs.

The guards who used to gamble and have fun at night now have no mood to seek pleasure. What they are thinking about now is how to���A good rest.

The fourth prince's training by fighting was quite effective. At least these living guards have learned to rest well and have sufficient physical strength to improve their survival rate in the brutal fighting. The brightly lit Dynasty Army camp was particularly dazzling in the wilderness. Patrols in armor passed by from time to time, and weapons and armor made crisp collisions.

In the night near the Dynasty Army camp, shadows emerged silently like ghosts. The soldiers who appeared near the Dynasty Army camp all wore red armbands. They were the military police under the command of military judge Li Lang.

The military police was the most elite force under Chen Ziang. All the soldiers were carefully selected and loyal to Chen Ziang. They were responsible for enforcing military discipline on weekdays, and they also charged into battle during wartime. Their fighting style was fierce, which made the Qinghe Army soldiers particularly afraid.

However, Chen Ziang had always used the military police as a trump card, and generally would not let them take action easily.

But now the rest of the troops in Chen Ziang's hands all have their own tasks, so he can only let the military police come out to carry out the tasks.

"Sir, all the sentries have been dealt with."

Military judge Li Lang and others hid in the darkness, and soon a nimble soldier came back, leaned over to Li Lang, and reported in a low voice.

These returning soldiers were full of a strong smell of blood. They had just quietly killed the sentries deployed by the Dynasty Army outside the camp.

""Attack!"

Li Lang raised his head and stared at the sentry of the Dynasty Army walking on the watchtower in the distance, and lowered his voice to give the order to attack.

With the creaking sound, the hard bows were pulled open, and the sharp wolf-tooth arrows were put on the bowstrings.

The sentry of the Dynasty Army on the watchtower vaguely heard the strange noise in the dark, but it was too dark in the second half of the night. He rubbed his eyes, but the vision was still dark.

""Swish!"

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from the darkness, and a wolf-tooth arrow suddenly appeared.

""Puff!"

The sharp wolf-tooth arrow pierced the throat of the sentry of the Dynasty Army with a dull sound.

The sentry of the Dynasty Army shook his body, his head went dark, and he fell down from the sentry tower more than ten meters high with a thump.

Several soldiers of the Dynasty Army who were standing guard with spears were also frightened by the loud thump and lost their sleepiness immediately.

They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw the sentry whose life or death was unknown.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......"

Before the sentinels could figure out what was going on, a sharp whistling sound was heard in the darkness.

"Puff!"

"Ah!"

These sentinels didn't even make any reaction, they were shot into sieves by the dense rain of arrows and nailed to the ground.

Many military tents near the camp were also affected. The sharp wolf tooth arrows penetrated the military tents, and many soldiers went to see the King of Hell in their sleep.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Under the intensive attack of the wolf-tooth arrows, the sentries and patrols of the Dynasty Army were killed or wounded, and shrill shouts rang out in the camp.

"Kill!"

When the Wang Chao army sentry screamed loudly, the sound of killing rang out in the darkness. A large number of Qinghe military police rushed towards the Wang Chao army camp like tigers out of their cages.

"The enemy army is attacking!"

""Hurry up, hurry up!"

The quiet camp of the Dynasty Army suddenly became boiling like a frying pan with water dropped into it.

In the chaos, countless ragged soldiers rushed out of the military tents with swords in hand, and hurriedly lined up to assemble under the shouts of the officers.

Many of the Dynasty Army soldiers had never encountered such a thing at night, and for a moment they were like headless flies, running around and bumping into things, exacerbating the chaos in the camp.

"What’s going on outside?!"

The fourth prince was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the noise outside. He was also confused.

"Your Highness, it seems that the enemy army has attacked the camp, and the front camp is in chaos."

The conscientious captain of the guards led a team of elite guards to protect the Fourth Prince's military tent. Hearing the shouting and killing in the distance, he judged that it was the Qinghe Army's night attack.

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a moment, and his face was livid. He hadn't even bothered the Qinghe Army yet, but the Qinghe Army actually took action first. It was so arrogant!

"Order all camps not to be on high alert, not to act rashly, and order Yang Hao to lead his troops to support the front camp!"

In such a dark night, they were suddenly attacked. If they did not figure out the situation clearly, and if they mobilized troops on a large scale, the camp would be easily blown up in the chaos.

The Fourth Prince was a man who knew about soldiers after all. Although he was holding back a rage in his heart, he could only endure it.

Yang Hao was also a brave general of the Dynasty Army. After receiving the military order from the Fourth Prince, he personally led a cavalry to reinforce the front camp.

Seeing Yang Hao leading the cavalry, Li Lang, who had already led the gendarmerie to attack the front camp of the Dynasty Army, chose to retreat without hesitation.

These gendarmerie troops are also elite troops. They are as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. They come and go quickly. In the blink of an eye, they retreated cleanly and all fled into the darkness, leaving behind a messy front camp of the Dynasty Army.

"I'm going to tear these bastards apart!"

Seeing the flames rising to the sky and the dead and wounded everywhere in the front camp, Yang Hao was also furious. He cursed and led the cavalry to chase after them.

However, they didn't chase them far before the cavalry in front were tripped by the trip ropes one after another, and screams came one after another.

"Kill!"

The roar of killing rang out again in the darkness, and Yang Hao's face changed suddenly.

""Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

In the darkness, Yang Hao had no idea how many Qinghe troops were lying in ambush in the dark, and he did not dare to be careless. He turned his horse around and retreated.

However, what Yang Hao did not expect was that just as he led his troops to retreat to the camp, an overwhelming rain of arrows attacked them again. Caught off guard, many Dynasty soldiers who were rescuing the wounded were killed and wounded again.

Li Lang and his men were like annoying flies. With the cover of darkness, they always surrounded the Dynasty Army camp, and occasionally pounced on it to take a few bites.

The fourth prince and others were already dressed and all arrived at the central army tent. They were also extremely uncomfortable with Li Lang's style of play.

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead my troops to attack and destroy them!"

Seeing Li Lang and his men approaching and shooting arrows arrogantly, many hot-tempered generals of the Dynasty Army could no longer hold back their anger.

"This must be a conspiracy of the enemy army. Maybe they have ambushed a large number of troops outside. We must not be fooled."

"Yes, the rebel army knows they are no match for us, so they only dare to resort to such conspiracy and tricks!"

"As long as we strengthen our vigilance, the conspiracy of the enemy army will naturally fail."

The fourth prince was not clear about the situation in the dark. In order to be cautious and safe, he finally chose to keep his troops in place.

When everyone's attention was drawn to the vicinity of the Dynasty Army camp, in the south of the city, more than 20,000 Qinghe soldiers were under the cover of night, each carrying a bag of food, and quickly rushed towards Qingyang Prefecture.
