I was reborn as the villain

In order to gain trust, Ren Youzhi had to explain: "Marshal Chen has repeatedly made strange moves. I think General Geng has also experienced it. He does not play cards according to common sense, and it is possible to take any military action. That’s why they dared to take such a risk, and as for the sentry towers and beacon towers near Qiaodubao, hmph, these might not be able to stop Marshal Chen’s army.”

"If the general does not make a decision early, I am afraid that Jiaozi City will become a dangerous place. Marshal Chen leads the army as the vanguard. He pays attention to the speed and surprise of soldiers. He does not have many soldiers under his command. Good chance, the main force of the general is in Jiaozi City, and the Luandu water village is defenseless. If the general hesitates and lets Marshal Chen capture the water village, he only needs to increase troops from the waterway to the Luandu water village while defending against the sky. In Yinshui Village, while guarding the river, Linfu City sent troops to trap Jiaozi City, and when the food and grass were exhausted, the Huanluo Army was defeated without a fight."

What Ren Youzhi said was reasonable, and both Geng Ye and Xiao Yiqiu felt a little terrified. If what Ren Youzhi said was true, Jiaozi City is indeed quite dangerous.

Geng also immediately asked: "How many troops does the opponent have?"

"Twenty thousand."

Geng also pondered. There were only [-] troops in the Luandu water village. If [-] troops attacked the Luandu water village by surprise, if they were able to capture the water village, then he would be in danger.

Xiao Yiqiu suggested: "General, why don't you send troops to guard Qiaodubao, firstly, you can know the enemy's strength, and secondly, you can prevent the enemy's sneak attack."

But Ren Youzhi laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao is said to be resourceful and decisive, but it seems that's just the case."

Xiao Yiqiu was not angry when he heard this, and asked modestly, "I don't know what your opinion is, sir?"

Ren Youzhi stood up and pointed in the direction of Qiaodubao: "Why do you need to guard Qiaodubao to stop the enemy, let the Shuqing army go ashore, set up an ambush in Niujiaogu, and wipe out the enemy."

Niujiao Valley is the only road from Qiaodubao to Luandu Water Village on land.

Xiao Yiqiu stood up after clapping his hands with joy on his face: "This plan is very clever. It uses offense as defense, not to prevent the enemy from landing, but mainly to annihilate the enemy. Lure the enemy to go deep and wipe them out. Mr. Ren It's better than me."

Xiao Yiqiu's flattery made Ren Youzhi very happy, and he burst out laughing.

"Mr. Xiao is polite, but I don't know if General Geng is using it as a trick."

Geng also glanced at Xiao Yiqiu, who nodded calmly and slightly.

Geng Ye laughed and said: "If you take the head of Chen Zhimo, Mr. Ren will be a great achievement."

Ren Youzhi nodded and said: "Then the general should order his troops and set off immediately. Counting the time for the Shuqing army to land and clear the beacon tower, if the general marches in a hurry, he can reach Niujiaogu and set up an ambush before the Shuqing army. By the way, let me remind you In a word, don’t miss this opportunity, it’s always good to bring more soldiers.”

Geng also immediately issued an order: "Generals Peng and General Zhang ordered [-] troops immediately, and marched to Niujiao Valley to set up an ambush."

In the country of Shucang, Chen Zhimo's prestige reached its peak when Chen Zhimo led his troops to break the siege of Qingxiao Kingdom. The little emperor was also very happy, and sent someone to praise Chen Zhimo.

The little emperor was always worried about Chen Zhimo. At the beginning, he was under pressure from the government, and finally he was proud after Chen Zhimo won a major victory. He had put too much pressure on Chen Zhimo.

The battle situation in Qingxiao's country was reported to the palace day and night, and the little emperor wanted to grasp the military situation as soon as possible.

That night, the little emperor tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his eyelids twitched.

"Come on!", the little emperor shouted irritably.

"The servant is here." Shen Hezhong replied.

"Does Marshal Chen have any military information?"

"Recently, there is no incident and there is no war."

Shen Hezhong helped the little emperor up.

"Eunuch Shen, tonight I feel quite irritable. Could it be some ominous sign? I am worried that something will happen to Marshal Chen."

Shen Hezhong reassured: "Perhaps your majesty is overworked in dealing with military affairs and state affairs these days, so it's good to have a rest. Marshal Chen is a young talent, and he will be fine."

The little emperor nodded, but still couldn't help but look worried when he looked into the distance.

"Your Majesty, please rest."

After Shen Hezhong finished speaking, he helped the little emperor to lie down.

The little emperor also gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, the sky was still dark. At this time, Chen Zhimo had successfully landed at Qiaodubao with his troops, and he had already controlled the nearby secret sentries and beacon towers.

Chen Zhimo ordered the whole army to march in a hurry to reach Niujiao Valley before dawn.

Chen Zhimo didn't directly attack Qiaodubao, but set up an ambush in Niujiao Valley.

Chen Zhimo's goal was not to capture Qiaodubao. With his strength, even if he conquered Qiaodubao with fewer victories and more, it would be difficult to defend.

As soon as Chen Zhimo's army was ready, Peng Tongyu and Zhang Yuan's army arrived.

Peng Tongyu and Zhang Yuan's army did not expect that they had come to set up an ambush, but fell into Chen Zhimo's trap. As soon as they entered the valley, they encountered rolling stones in the mountains, followed by rocket attacks.

The Huanluo army was in chaos, and when they scattered and evaded, they encountered various traps, such as tripping ropes, horse leg traps, bamboo tip traps, bamboo whips, round hammers, hidden arrows, kerosene, and poisonous smoke, which caused heavy casualties to the Huanluo army.

Immediately after that, there was a loud roar around the valley, and a large number of soldiers rushed out. Chen Zhimo's order was to do everything possible to destroy the enemy. These five thousand soldiers were all brave men, and when they met each other, they would make a fierce killing move, which made Huanluo The army was caught off guard, and the stampede on each other caused countless casualties.

After some rushing and killing, the valley was littered with corpses.

The Huanluo army suffered heavy losses, and even Zhang Yuan was stabbed to death by Chen Zhimo under his horse.

Although Peng Tongyu turned pale with shock, he didn't dare to retreat, he knew very well what was going on, if he couldn't hold back the Shuqing coalition army, then the Luandu water village would be in danger, and the Luandu water village must not be lost.

This was because Peng Tongyu didn't know exactly how many troops Chen Zhimo had, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

The order received from the Luandu water village was not to hold out, otherwise the water village would attack and encircle Peng Tongyu, and the Shuqing coalition forces would have to be killed.

Chen Zhimo strategized, he had already calculated that Luandu Water Village would not dare to move, so he put all his eggs in one basket to deal with the enemy troops from Jiaozi City.

Peng Tongyu gritted his teeth and insisted, and organized the remnant soldiers to resist.

At this time, the Shuqing coalition army no longer loved to fight, and retreated to the valley after snatching the horses.

Chen Zhimo had limited troops, once the opponent organized a powerful attack, he didn't dare to fight head-on again, and retreated for the time being, making Peng Tongyu unpredictable.

This time the ambush against Chen Zhimo was a complete victory, annihilating more than [-] enemy troops, and the Shuqing coalition army only paid a very small price.

The battle situation on Chen Zhimo's side has been sent back to the Shucang Kingdom through secret channels, and the little emperor received the news that Chen Zhimo led troops to land at Qiaodubao early in the morning.

"How can you be so reckless, sir?"

The little emperor became anxious when he received the battle report. This was simply a suicidal action.

Although the little emperor didn't know much about marching and fighting, if a marshal led five thousand soldiers to attack the rear of an army of hundreds of thousands, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would be in danger. The little emperor didn't want to see Chen Zhimo have an accident.

The little emperor immediately summoned his ministers to discuss with the court.

"What do you guys think?"

Yuan Feicheng replied: "Your Majesty, the marshal loves surprises. Maybe this is the marshal's strange move?"

Yuan Feicheng also didn't like to see Chen Zhimo because of Yuan Feiyi's and Chen Zhimo's feud. Now that Chen Zhimo was going to seek death by himself, he was also happy to watch the fun.
