Dingyuan Marquis of the Great Ming, Wang Bi, once served as a bodyguard for the current emperor. He wielded dual swords with such mastery that it was as if he had entered a state of trance. In the military, he earned the reputation as the "Dual Swords King". Among the generals and nobles of the Great Ming dynasty, he was one of the few who possessed exceptional martial prowess, a fierce warrior who charged into battle fearlessly.

  Now this military strongman was lying on a grassland not far from the Li Da army camp, shivering with cold. The night of the early spring prairie was still extremely cold. Wang Bi, who had received orders to ambush again, couldn't bring his bedding over, so he could only sniffle and observe the situation in the big camp like this.

  Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the camp, and Wang Bi's soldiers looked at each other in a low voice as something happened inside the big army account.

  "Silence! Tell them to keep quiet, the commotion in the camp has nothing to do with them!" Wang Bi gave orders to his subordinates, seemingly indifferent to the fierce fighting within the camp.

  Because he and Cao Xing knew what tactics their general would use when they received the order, although pretending to blow up the camp was a dangerous thing that neither of them thought highly of, it was after all the fastest and most effective method at present. Otherwise, if the army delayed joining Xu Da's general for another day, that would be a big problem.

  Now just wait for the Beiyuan gang to take the bait, and when the time comes, these two ambush troops will take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy's rear team, won't they be caught off guard!

  Wait, wait, wait, Wang Bi's legs are numb and still no sign of the Northern Yuan cavalry. "Damn it, this group of rabbits' horses usually run so fast, why did they come so slow today? Could it be that someone has seen through General Tang's plan?"

  Just as Wang Bi was getting impatient, a scout who had been sent out came running back in a flurry: "Lord Hou! Lord Hou! They've come, they've arrived!"

  "It's finally here, brothers! Get moving and warm up your hands, we'll be fighting soon!" The soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently, shivered with cold and hastily rubbed their hands to get the blood flowing, or else they wouldn't be able to hold their swords properly.

  When ten thousand horses gallop on the grassland at the same time, it is shocking. The majestic momentum is astonishing to anyone. But now, in this April night, nearly a hundred thousand horses are galloping, their goal is only one, that is the Ming army's camp.

  Ma Nao and Ha Mo led their cavalry troops in a hurry, finally arriving here. At this time, the shouting in the big camp was still continuing, but the killing shouts had decreased slightly.

  These 80,000 cavalrymen did not stop along the way. Ma Na also learned about the current situation of the Ming army's main camp from the converging scouts. He felt that the battle was nearing its end, and now was the time when the Ming army was exhausted and had no strength to continue. At this time, a counterattack could defeat most of the Ming army, and then this northern expeditionary force would be annihilated, and Xu Da's western route army would wait for him to clean up.

  Hammer now didn't have the impulsiveness of earlier, he had been led by Manar's excitement to follow together, but now Hammer felt that they couldn't be so rash in their advance, everything should be prepared for, not fearing ten thousand but fearing one in ten thousand, if Mingjun really set up an ambush then these eight million elite cavalry would likely have no way out.

  "Hammer, stop being so cautious. Here's what we'll do: you lead the rear guard and I'll take the vanguard to charge forward. If there really is an ambush by the Ming army, you can provide backup for me." Hammer was after all the younger brother of General Ping, so Manchu had to consider his feelings a bit. Since he was worried about potential problems, assigning him to the rear guard wasn't a bad idea.

  Hamer also knew that his repeated obstruction of Mana's orders had already made people unhappy. If the commander-in-chief's orders were repeatedly disobeyed, it would be detrimental to the morale of the army. He understood this principle and naturally followed Mana's orders to slow down and merge with the rear cavalry.

  "Men! Charge! Wealth and beauty are right before your eyes! Kill!" Ma Na led the charge, his cavalry following closely behind. After shooting and killing the Ming army's gatekeepers, the great army surged into the camp like a flood.

  "Master Hou! Are we going to take action now?" one of Wang Bi's subordinates whispered.

  "Wait a minute, damn it! I didn't expect Ma Na to have the guts to bring all his cavalry here. This is something General Tang didn't anticipate at all. With 800,000 cavalry charging into the camp, it's going to take a while to repel them!" Wang Bi scratched his head in dismay. They had previously estimated that even if there were 400,000 to 500,000 cavalry attacking the camp, it would be manageable. But who knew that now... hopefully General Tang can hold on..."

  While Hamer was leading the rear guard to advance with the main force, a lone rider suddenly ran over from the grass on the left. It wasn't until his men led him over that he realized it was one of the scouts he had sent out to harass the Ming army.

  "Sir! It's a trap! There are large numbers of Ming troops ambushing in the direction I came from!" The cavalry squad was originally supposed to join forces with the main army, but instead stumbled upon Cao Xing's ambush on the road and began fighting. The ten-man squad tried to break through Cao Xing's encirclement by relying on their horseback advantage, but after a fierce battle, only one person managed to escape and fortunately encountered Hamer's rear army.

  Just as Hammer's face changed upon hearing the news, deafening battle cries erupted from both sides. To the left, Cao Xing's ambush troops charged out, taking advantage of the situation after realizing they might be exposed. Meanwhile, to the right, Wang Bi indeed saw Hammer's army halt their advance, fearing something was amiss, and directly led his men in a charge...

  At the same time, the Ming army's response to the central army's battle also erupted in a shocking slaughter. Hammer's face turned iron-gray as he watched the enemy charge from both sides. Under the cover of darkness, he had no idea how many people were ambushing them, and Mana, who had charged forward earlier, was clearly also ambushed. In an instant, they found themselves at a disadvantage.

  Hammel's mind was racing, and he finally made a decision: "The rear army will follow me in a charge, killing its way into the enemy camp and capturing their commander alive!" Now only by launching a desperate all-out attack on the enemy commander's headquarters could they turn the tide.

  The cavalry, who had been frightened and disordered by the ambush all around, now heard the deputy commander's words and also calmed down, following Hammer to charge towards the Ming army's main camp...

  At this moment, Manao is making a sudden and violent attack under the eyelids of Tang He. When Manao rushed into the camp, Tang He and Fu Youde both let out a sigh of relief, thinking that their plan had succeeded and that nothing unexpected had happened to trigger a chain reaction among other soldiers. However, when Manao really charged in front of their tent, they were still depressed for half a day.

  The two of them had the same idea as Wang Bi at that time, and who knows why Manao brought so many people with him. Looking at the 20,000 armored soldiers who were ambushing in advance, they suddenly felt that the situation might not be so optimistic...

  What was even more unbearable was Nanyong Marquis Zhao Yong, who originally thought that with the success of the plan, he could easily swallow this batch of soldiers and horses. However, as more and more cavalry rushed in front of him, he became frantic. With only 20,000 armored soldiers, it was impossible to resist so many enemy cavalry. Now, he can only personally lead his guards and generals to defend the central army's large tent, praying that the commander-in-chief would quickly send reinforcements to support him. If the Yuan army really broke through the central army's headquarters, then they would not be ambushing and annihilating the enemy, but rather being defeated by the enemy in a frontal assault!

  "Pass the order! General Yu Tongyuan and General Yu Tongyuan, lead your troops to reinforce Marquis Nanxiong immediately! Also, let Dugu Song bring the convict camp over, he's the best at dealing with the Northern Yuan cavalry!" Tang He gave the order calmly, but when he mentioned Dugu Song's name, the messenger soldier trembled slightly...
