Chapter 43: Burning the Linked Camps

"Dammit!"

Inside the Turkic main camp.

Wu Ha kicked over the table in front of him with one foot.

"A bunch of useless trash, good-for-nothings, chased around like rabbits by a thousand people!"

Wu Ha was flying into a rage inside his own tent.

Today's battle was the most shameful battle of his life.

As a young Prince in the tribe, he had never suffered such a loss.

Back when Anwu County was still Anwu Prefecture.

He had once led troops to capture multiple cities and strategic locations in succession, yet now he was being blocked by a tiny Anwu County.

Then he was beaten into a rout by two thousand reinforcements arriving from Dingning Pass.

If this were to get back to the tribe, he would never be able to show his face again.

"General, this unit was merely taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack behind our backs; their appearance still cannot shake the pace of our army's victory!"

"Yes, General, these fellows are just opportunists; in a head-on confrontation, they are still no match for us!"

Hearing the words spoken by his subordinate generals.

The anger in Wu Ha's heart finally subsided.

"What you say is correct; this time it was just that brat finding a loophole. Even if he is strong, it is impossible for him to withstand the siege of our thirty-thousand-strong army!"

Wu Ha secretly clenched his fists; since he was no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

Then he would simply play the human-wave tactic against him.

If he couldn't beat him to death, he would wear him to death!

"Order: attack the city with full force tomorrow morning; we must break through Anwu County!"

"Understood!"

"Also, I have one more thing to add!"

Wu Ha continued, "That fellow who launched the surprise attack on us today must be captured alive; I want to skin him alive with my own hands!"

"Yes!"

The crowd left the tent.

At this moment, only Wu Ha remained in the tent.

Before long, two women with alluring figures walked into Wu Ha's tent with light steps.

"General, why are you so angry today?"

"That's right! What kind of situation could possibly make our General so furious?"

The two women sat on Wu Ha's lap, one on the left and one on the right.

Their slender fingers wandered constantly over his body, making Wu Ha feel an unbearable heat.

"Hmph, it's all because of a unit that suddenly popped up today, taking advantage of my lack of attention to launch a sneak attack from behind. Otherwise, I would have already broken through Anwu County today!"

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences for a soldier; there is no need for the General to be unhappy because of one failure!"

"That's right, no matter what, don't you still have us sisters to keep you company, General?"

"Hahaha, you two understand me best!"

Wu Ha's hands also began to act restlessly.

They ran wild and unrestrained over the two alluring women.

Before long.

The temperature inside the tent gradually rose.

A touch of spring blossomed within the tent.

While the Turkic camp was heating up.

A plan was quietly underway on the side of Anwu County.

"Lord Zhu, is everything prepared?"

"Rest assured, the items requested by Colonel Chu have all been prepared by this subordinate!"

Zhu Kang pointed to the pile of supplies behind him.

These were all highly flammable materials like lamp oil and sulfur.

At the banquet, Chu Feng had provided his specific method for soundly defeating the tens of thousands of Turkic troops.

That was to launch a night raid on the Turkic camp.

After all, the enemy still had tens of thousands of men; relying solely on these people to hold the city was no different from waiting for death.

The best method was to take the initiative and catch them off guard.

Only in this way could the crisis in Anwu County be completely reversed.

"Many thanks, Lord!"

Chu Feng turned his head to look at his subordinates, "Everyone, begin equipping immediately; we raid the camp tonight."

"Yes!"

The subordinates immediately began to equip the items.

In a short while, everyone was prepared.

"Lord Zhu, take care!"

"Take care, brother; when you return, I will treat you to a drink at Haiyue Tower!"

"It's a deal!"

Bidding farewell to Zhu Kang.

Chu Feng immediately led his subordinates to quietly sneak toward the Turkic camp.

Watching Chu Feng and the others disappear into the dark night.

Zhu Kang suddenly felt an indescribable sensation in his heart.

"Brother Chu, you must win!"

"The safety of all the people in Anwu County depends on you!"

Zhu Kang could not help but start praying for Chu Feng and the others in his heart.

Praying that they would achieve victory in the first battle and succeed immediately.

After leaving Anwu County.

The more than one thousand men led by Chu Feng had already arrived in the vicinity of the Turkic main camp.

"Xiang Yuan, you lead half of the brothers to crawl forward from the east and sneak over; launch the attack at the Hour of the Tiger."

"Understood!"

Xiang Yuan immediately signaled his men to quietly advance toward the east side of the Turkic main camp.

"The rest of the men follow me to sneak up; we will also launch the attack at the Hour of the Tiger."

"Understood, Commander!"

Chu Feng immediately set an example, lying on the ground and beginning to crawl forward.

The rest of the men followed suit.

Quietly beginning to sneak toward the Turkic main camp.

They crept until they were about thirty paces away from the Turkic main camp.

Chu Feng looked up toward the inside of the Turkic camp.

He saw that the Turkic soldiers were completely lax in their appearance.

There was not the slightest bit of the vigilance one would expect after a defeat.

"Damn, are these Turkic barbarians really this careless?"

But soon, Chu Feng felt relieved.

Anwu County now had fewer than one thousand men left.

Plus, they had just experienced a major battle today.

So they did not believe that they would come to raid the camp at night.

"Heh, since that's the case, then I won't be polite!"

Chu Feng smiled faintly and waited calmly for the arrival of the Hour of the Tiger.

Time passed second by second.

The Hour of the Tiger had arrived.

The soldiers specifically assigned to guard duty inside the Turkic camp could not help but start to doze off.

Chu Feng immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at these peripheral guards.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Several arrows flew out.

These derelict soldiers were sent to report to the King of Hell on the spot.

"Charge!"

Chu Feng waved his hand violently.

All the soldiers immediately began their operation.

After entering the camp, they immediately began to scatter everything they were carrying throughout the camp.

Then they immediately used torches to ignite them.

In an instant.

The entire Turkic camp was engulfed in raging flames.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The sudden fire gave the Turkic soldiers inside the camp a huge fright.

There were tents everywhere in the camp.

Coupled with the fact that it was already autumn, the climate was very dry, and it was accompanied by the wind blowing at night.

The Turkic camp soon fell into a sea of fire.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The ruthless fire wantonly devoured the lives of countless Turkic soldiers.

Some soldiers were even burned alive in their sleep.

"What's going on?"

Wu Ha, who was sleeping while holding two beautiful women, was immediately awakened by this chaos.

After he walked out of his tent.

He discovered that his main camp had already been shrouded by soaring flames.

"General, the Wei Army has launched a night raid on our army!"

"What!"

Wu Ha had never expected this.

That the Wei Army would actually launch a surprise attack on them at night after experiencing a battle during the day.

This was truly a situation he had not anticipated.

"Kill!"

After setting the fire.

Chu Feng immediately led the soldiers to begin slaughtering in all directions.

Countless bewildered Turkic soldiers fell one after another under their blades.

Very quickly, the troop led by Chu Feng fought their way to the central army.

"My lord, he is over there!"

A soldier suddenly pointed to the location where Wu Ha was.

Chu Feng, holding a battle blade, also quickly appeared before Wu Ha.
