Chapter 270 - 270: First Victory



Si Ming Mountain.

The scout returned and entered the tent. “General Fang, there’s a canyon ahead… If the Lord of the Northern Border ambushes us in the canyon, we will suffer heavy losses.”

Fang Yuchen, who was sitting behind the table, looked at the map and frowned. “This canyon is a muss pass. We have to go through it.”

Deputy General Gao, who was standing at the side, said, “General, we can first check if there are any ambushes around before deciding on the next plan.”

Deputy General Chen said, “That’s right, General. The canyon is a little far from the northern border city. The Lord of the Northern Border might not be able to transfer troops over so quickly. Let’s confirm it first.”

Deputy General Lan said, “General, General Tang wants us to reach Maiji Mountain in two days. Otherwise, Maiji Mountain will be occupied by the soldiers of the northern border and we’ll lose the advantage.”

Deputy General Zhao said, “The most important thing now is to figure out how to pass through Si Ming Mountain safely. As long as we meet up with General Tang, even if we lose the advantage, we still have the strength to take it back.”

Deputy General Gao nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”

A secret guard walked in. “General Fang, a letter from General Tang.”

Fang Yuchen immediately took the letter, which said, “General Fang, there will definitely be soldiers from the Lord of the Northern Border ambushing on Si Ming Mountain. These soldiers are all his secret soldiers. There are about 100,000 of them. Be careful.”

After Fang Yuchen read the letter, he was relieved. He immediately gathered his subordinates and began to make arrangements.

The fake Lord of the Northern Border stood on Si Ming Mountain and looked at Fang Yuchen’s camp. “It’s been a day. Why aren’t they continuing on the march.”

Tang Jianying said, “Your Highness, he must have been informed that there is an ambush in the canyon.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border sneered. “If they back off just because we are ambushing here, they might as well disband on the spot. A bunch of cowards.”

Tang Jianying said, “Your Highness, we can’t continue like this. I think we should take the initiative.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border pondered. “Elaborate on that.”

Tang Jianying said, “I think they probably think we won’t dare to strike first. Then we’ll do the opposite and give them a surprise attack!”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border fell silent. Now that he was well-prepared, he was perfectly able to take this risk.

Having made up his mind, he immediately returned and began to make arrangements.

The tranquil atmosphere of Si Ming Mountain was gradually replaced by a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Tang Jinghong unfolded the letter sent by the secret guard. It said, “Hero, Li Yuan’an has been beheaded for murder. Will you fulfill your promise now?”

He handed the letter to Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, look.”

Chu Qingzhi took the letter and read it. She said, “You can tell him your true identity now.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “I’ve already prepared the letter. He’ll understand after reading it.”

Tang Jinghong handed the letter to the secret guard and asked him to send it to Li Yuanshao as soon as possible. He hoped that Li Yuanshao could seize this opportunity to control the northern border city. This was a rare opportunity.

The night was strangely quiet and dark. Other than the scattered starlight in the sky, it was almost pitch-black everywhere.

Suddenly, a shout was heard, “Charge!”

The northern border soldiers lying in the grass immediately rushed into Fang Yuchen’s camp.

At the same time, Fang Yuchen’s soldiers had already snuck up to the camp of the northern border army from behind Si Ming Mountain.

Fang Yuchen brought 150,000 soldiers this time and sent 30,000 soldiers to launch a sneak attack on the camp of the northern border army.

The Lord of the Northern Border had 100,000 secret soldiers and sent 30,000 to attack Fang Yuchen’s camp.

Lights lit up the military camp, and shouts resounded through the sky. The collision of swords and sabers produced a series of sparks, and the sound of arrows tearing through the air was nonstop…

The military camp of both sides fell into chaos.

Deputy General Gao rushed into Fang Yuchen’s tent. “General, the soldiers from the northern border are here to ambush us. What should we do next?”

“This is a good opportunity!” Fang Yuchen gave the order to kill all the soldiers from the northern border. Then, they would quickly pass through the canyon.

As long as they passed through the canyon, they would no longer be at a disadvantage.

At the military camp of the northern border.

“Your Highness, Fang Yuchen has sent soldiers to launch a sneak attack on us!”

“Kill them all.”

“Yes.”

The Lord of the Northern Border did not expect Fang Yuchen to make this move.

He was so focused on dealing with the sneak attack that he didn’t notice Fang Yuchen leading his troops into the canyon.

By the time he noticed it, Fang Yuchen was already on the other side of the canyon and had led his troops to charge into his camp.

“Charge!” After Fang Yuchen’s troops passed through the canyon, they killed their way into the northern border’s military camp from the front.

The Lord of the Northern Border was caught off guard.

“Pass down the order, face the enemy head-on and make sure none of them can leave alive.”

“Kill!!!”

The soldiers of the northern border didn’t expect the situation to become like this. In their hearts, they were the ones who had the upper hand, but in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded. This caused the morale to plummet greatly.

As for Fang Yuchen’s soldiers, they were already infuriated by the rebellion. Their morale soared when they killed the rebels. Soon, the soldiers of the Northern Border were at a disadvantage.

The battle lasted until the latter half of the night. The Lord of the Northern Border could not hold on anymore and ordered the retreat. Both sides suffered casualties. Strictly speaking, it was a draw. However, Fang Yuchen had obtained a lot of spoils of war and it was considered a victory.

On a nearby mountaintop, the Lord of the Northern Border looked at Fang Yuchen’s army and gritted his teeth in anger. Fang Yuchen, I won’t let you off!

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stood on a mountaintop near Maiji Mountain and looked in the direction of the border.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Jinghong, can General Fang successfully come to Maiji Mountain?”

“General Fang has rich combat experience. There’s no problem.” Tang Jinghong was only 50% confident. After all, he had never fought the fake Lord of the Northern Border and did not know the combat style of the other party very well.

“By the way, Jinghong, there’s something 1 haven’t told you…” Chu Qingzhi told him about her using the animals to stall Gou Fangzhou for a long time.

When Tang Jinghong heard this, he was indescribably excited and glad. “Qingzhi, the fake Lord of the Northern Border would never have thought that there would be a problem with his garrison army. I originally thought that the garrison army would reach Maiji Mountain first, but from the looks of it, that might not be the case.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “They’re unlucky to have met me.”

Tang Jinghong said, “If General Fang hasn’t arrived by noon, I’ll go and help him.”

Chu Qingzhi reached out and grabbed Tang Jinghong’s hand. “I’ll go with you.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Okay..”
