In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Chapter 127 Lure the snake out of its hole

At this moment, outside the camp, firewood had piled up like a mountain, like a huge fire dragon hovering on the edge of the dark night. Under the moonlight, the dry firewood flickered with a faint phosphorescent light, as if foreshadowing the upcoming feast of fire.

General Liu's eyes were like torches. He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "All soldiers, listen up and light the firewood immediately!" His words were full of unquestionable determination. The soldiers who had been lying in ambush around the camp moved at the sound and quickly lit the firewood with torches in their hands.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts of the soldiers came one after another, like a violent storm, shaking the silent night sky. Their eyes flashed with fanaticism, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

General Liu waved his hand and ordered: "The entire army charges, let the flames devour everything!" Following his order, the soldiers rushed into the sea of ​​fire like tigers out of their cages.

The flames spread rapidly, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire military camp as bright as day. The flames licked the surrounding air frantically, making crackling sounds. Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see what was ahead.

"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"

"Oh my God! What's going on? How can there be such a big fire?!"

"Run away! You'll die if you don't run away now!"

In the sea of ​​fire, panicked shouts were heard one after another. However, all of this was a plan that General Liu had already arranged. He wanted to use this raging fire to confuse the rebels in the county and make them lose their composure.

"Pass the order down, let the whole army continue to shout, the louder the better!" General Liu ordered again. Upon hearing this, the soldiers shouted even harder. Their voices echoed in the night sky, as if to wake up the entire county.

In this way, under the reflection of the raging fire, a carefully planned tactic is quietly unfolding.

The night was as heavy as ink, but General Liu's heart was as hot as a burning flame. He stood on the high ground, looking through the billowing smoke and directly at the wall of the county town in the distance. The rebels there must have been in chaos at this moment.

"Herald, pass my order and have the secret sentries in the city pay close attention to the movements of the rebels. Report immediately if you find anything unusual!" General Liu's voice sounded particularly firm against the backdrop of the firelight.

The movement here of course quickly attracted the attention of Zhang Shan and others on the city wall who were closely watching the situation here!

"General Zhang! There is a fire in the military camp outside!" At this time, the soldiers on the city wall shouted excitedly.

"General Zhang! It seems that General Zhang Shui succeeded! Now the entire enemy camp is in chaos. Why don't we charge out now?" At this time, the deputy general on the other side also shouted excitedly. Their eyes were fixed on the camp with raging flames!

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Shan's eyes. After all, he knew his own affairs. How could his brother cause such a big impact? Look, the fire almost burned the entire camp.

"Could there be a trick here?" Zhang Shan's eyes were still fixed on the raging fire.

"General Zhang! There is no time to think about it now!" the deputy general next to him urged hurriedly.

"General, please rest assured. My son will be the one to go out this time. Although my son is not talented, he is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. It should be him who sneaked into the camp with General Zhang Shui!" Chen Dong, who was standing on the city wall, took the initiative to say.

"Since Lord Chen is so sure, please let Lord Chen lead the team as the vanguard!" Zhang Shan nodded after hearing this.

"Okay!" Chen Dong nodded.

"Follow me!" At this time, Chen Dong ordered the soldiers behind him, and then he walked towards the front.

Zhang Shan watched his back disappear into the darkness. He immediately ordered his men, "All troops, prepare. After Chen Xianfeng breaks through, we will follow closely and attack the enemy's main camp!" Zhang Shan's voice was steady and powerful. He knew that the decision at this moment would determine the direction of the entire battle.

As Chen Dong's team gradually disappeared into the boundary between night and fire, Zhang Shan's clenched fists gradually loosened. He knew that the critical moment of this battle had arrived. He had to stay calm and not let any emotions affect his judgment.

Under the city wall, the vanguard led by Chen Dong quickly broke through the enemy's outer defense line like an arrow from a bow. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their desire for victory, they advanced all the way and approached the enemy's main camp.

However, just as they were about to break through the last line of defense of the enemy's main camp, countless arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness, attacking them like dense raindrops. Seeing this, Chen Dong was shocked and quickly ordered the team to disperse and hide.

"There's an ambush!" Chen Dong shouted loudly, his voice full of shock and anger. He didn't expect that the enemy would set up an ambush here.

However, just as they were in chaos, General Liu's voice came from the fire: "All troops listen to my order, surround the enemy's vanguard, and don't leave any one alive!" Following his order, the enemy soldiers who had been prepared came from all directions and surrounded Chen Dong's vanguard.

Chen Dong's heart sank when he saw this. He knew that if he didn't reveal his identity this time, he might really die here.

The people who followed him out were all his own people, so he didn't worry about anyone rebelling.

"Send a signal quickly!" Chen Dong immediately ordered the servants who followed him to use the torches in their hands to continuously send the signal that had been agreed upon long ago.

Several servants were waving torches continuously, following the trajectory that had been agreed upon long ago, and the flames on the torches were jumping.

"Stop the attack! Commander Liu, these are our people!" Chen Jun realized that the signal was sent by his father's men. Notify Commander Liu immediately!

"That signal was agreed upon by my father and I!" said Chen Jun.

"Are you sure these are your father's men!" The general looked at those who had entered the encirclement.

"There's no mistake. The signal from the torch is indeed what we agreed upon! Please stop the attack immediately!" Chen Jun said anxiously as he looked at the people falling one by one.

"you sure?"

“Absolutely sure!”

"Okay, stop attacking!"

"Thank you, General!" Chen Jun looked at the man gratefully.

General Liu looked at Chen Dong who was surrounded, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He believed that these methods of his were enough!

This was the group of people that Chen Dong had brought out. Almost half of them had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the rest had also suffered heavy casualties, but Chen Dong's face did not look good, because he found that he seemed to have underestimated General Liu's conspiracy!

"It's my fault that I didn't arrange it well!" Chen Dong looked at his men who fell to the ground.
