Chapter 352: Wei Qing's Plan: Please Enter the Jar

This series of retreats made the Night Slayer Army troops grow increasingly contemptuous, mocking Wei Qing's army as 'deserters,' and some even began to propose attacking in one go with tiger-like vigor.

Let's directly annihilate Wei Qing's Feather Forest Army!

Although Yan Qifeng had reservations, amid the clamor of the troops she had no choice but to follow the army's mood and continue launching the attack.

Seeing that his plan to provoke arrogance had initially succeeded, Wei Qing quickly began the next step of his layout.

He ordered soldiers to secretly dig traps and set up obstacles at night, while also sending small units to harass the Night Slayer Army's camp, exhausting them.

The continuous days of harassment and traps made the Night Slayer Army suffer greatly, yet they maintained high morale, firmly believing they could capture Wei Qing's Feather Forest Army in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Wei Qing began a new layout.

He deliberately spread the news that the Cangzhou Great Army would soon arrive as reinforcements.

Upon hearing this, the Night Slayer Army troops became even more impatient, wanting to annihilate Wei Qing's army in one go before the Cangzhou Army arrived.

Then they turned their spears to meet the rushing Cangzhou Army.

However, he failed to notice that Wei Qing's army was gradually tightening the encirclement, luring them into a huge trap.

Under Wei Qing's meticulous, step-by-step plan, the Night Slayer Army's arrogance had been thoroughly cultivated.

Meanwhile, Wei Qing lay in wait for the right moment, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Night Slayer Army.

That day, the Night Slayer Army launched another fierce assault, with Gongsun Yang leading the charge, unstoppable wherever he went.

He wielded his purple-gold hammer, unstoppable.

However, all this was Wei Qing's scheme; he deliberately let his troops suffer successive defeats to provoke Gongsun Yang's arrogance.

After the battle, Gongsun Yang returned to camp with a face full of triumphant smiles.

Seeing his demeanor, Yan Qifeng couldn't help but frown.

After their previous clashes, she knew well that Wei Qing was a resourceful commander who would not be so easily defeated.

"General Gongsun, you must not underestimate the enemy."

"This Wei Qing is cunning and crafty; we must be vigilant."

Therefore, seeing Gongsun Yang now careless, she couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"General Yan, why boost others' morale and diminish your own prestige?"

"That Wei Qing is nothing special; I think his troops are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."

"As long as we keep attacking, we will surely capture this mourning-army in one fell swoop."

However, faced with Yan Qifeng's reminder, Gongsun Yang laughed it off indifferently.

Hearing this, Yan Qifeng couldn't help but sigh.

She knew Gongsun Yang's mind had been completely addled by victory, and further advice would be useless.

Thus, she could only silently pray that she and the Night Slayer Army would stay vigilant and not be deceived by Wei Qing's schemes.

Meanwhile, in a field outside the Horizontal Prefecture, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Ran Min, and Su Ye, who were supporting the Five Elements Armor, were discussing the next step of the plan.

They knew the Night Slayer Army had fallen into the trap of arrogance, and with just a little more lure, they would surely reveal a greater weakness.

As expected, in the ensuing battle the Night Slayer Army grew ever more arrogant and contemptuous of the enemy.

Gongsun Yang was even more like a War God, victorious in every battle and unstoppable wherever he went.

But he failed to notice that Wei Qing's army was gradually tightening the encirclement, luring them into a huge trap.

However, when they stepped into the trap area meticulously set up by Wei Qing, the ground suddenly collapsed, countless soldiers fell into pits, and their wails shook the heavens.

"Kill!"

At the command of the leader of the 30,000-strong Cangzhou Great Army, the hidden 30,000-strong Cangzhou Great Army surged forth like a tiger descending the mountain, hooves thundering like thunder, killing from all directions.

They charged straight into the chaotic Night Slayer Army.

The leading squad of five Five Elements Armor warriors were like five bolts of lightning, unstoppable on the battlefield.

"Don't panic! Hold formation and meet the enemy!"

Seeing this, Yan Qifeng was greatly startled; she hastily waved her long sword, trying to steady the panicked Night Slayer Army.

However, the Night Slayer Army was already in chaos, and then the suddenly appearing 30,000-strong Cangzhou Great Army hacked it into pieces; Yan Qifeng's orders appeared pale and powerless amid the turmoil.

Meanwhile, Wei Qing stood on high ground, calmly observing the battlefield situation.

"All forces, advance! Annihilate the Night Slayer Army in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that the moment had arrived, he immediately gave the order.

His voice rang out loud, revealing his firm resolve.

With Wei Qing's order, the Cangzhou Great Army surged toward the Night Slayer Army like a flood.

On the battlefield, blades flashed and swords gleamed, arrows fell like rain, and the cries of killing shook the heavens.

The Night Slayer Army suffered successive defeats under the sudden onslaught, sustaining heavy casualties.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Yan Qifeng brandished her long sword and led the remaining personal guards in a desperate resistance.

However, under the encirclement of the Cangzhou Great Army and the five Five Elements Armor warriors, they were like trapped beasts fighting, unable to turn the tide.

At this moment, Gongsun Yang also realized the gravity of the situation.

He tried to organize an effective counterattack, but the Night Slayer Army had already collapsed into disarray, and his efforts were in vain.

Meanwhile, smoke filled the battlefield as the five Five Elements Armor warriors each fought separately, yet at the same moment they encountered the Night Slayer Army's strongest War God, Gongsun Yang.

Wielding a four-faceted tiger-head purple-gold hammer and riding a divine purple-gold thunder steed, his aura was like a rainbow.

Li Chennan of the Flame Dragon Armor took the lead, his flaming blade flashing with scorching light, his form like the wind, he went straight for Gongsun Yang.
