There were fires everywhere on the mountain, and some soldiers were unconscious after being poisoned. The entire military camp was in panic.

Gu Mingfeng shouted loudly, "Don't panic, everyone should stay in their own positions, be alert and defend in all directions, and never let the enemy go up the mountain!"

He added manpower at every checkpoint and made sure to hold the defense line.

Other people went around putting out the fire and picking up the fallen Kongming lanterns. If it really caught fire, they would either go down the mountain or be burned to death.

Eight advance troops bravely attacked the mountain under the cover of night. The sound of mud, rocks, flying arrows and fighting pierced through the wind in the dark night!

War is imminent!

Jiang Xue Ning, wearing a red armor and holding a red cherry spear, stood on the small hill opposite Luming Mountain, looking at Luming Mountain in the distance.

"We must attack them before dawn or force them down the mountain."

Jiang Li tied up his hair in a black robe and said, "It would be best to force them down the mountain and get directly surrounded by us. This will be most beneficial to us."

"It's a bit difficult. We can only see how Qiu Ling is doing at the moment."

Qiu Ling and her group used the tools they brought with them in the dark, and some of them even climbed up the cliff by climbing up the thick vines with their excellent martial arts skills.

The group of people climbed up the cliff one after another, which was a cliff hidden in the forest. Although it was very hot in front, it was extremely quiet here.

Each of the thousand people she brought over had a huge kettle filled with fuel to support the fire, and they had a huozhezi in their arms.

Qiu Ling whispered, "Everyone spread out, find a place with lots of dead trees and grass that are easy to burn and hide, and set fire when the red fireworks are in the sky!"

"Then everyone fights out with their own abilities!"

The Kongming lanterns were just a decoy to confuse the enemy's mind. They were the ones who actually set fire to the mountain.

The thousand men quickly dispersed, each looking for a place to go. She led Yun Que in the direction of the military camp.

She has been in the mountains for so long, and is most familiar with the defenses on the mountains and the distribution terrain of each battalion.

After touching the location of the Huotou Army, she and Yun Cao lurked in the grass.

When several firemen came out to relieve themselves, he knocked them unconscious, dragged them into the bushes, stripped their clothes off, and put them on himself.

The firemen are relatively marginalized, and when everyone is busy, they seem to have nothing to do.

Regardless of whether they fight or not, the most important thing for them is to cook. Unless there are no soldiers left, it will be their turn.

Qiu Ling and Yunque went directly to the tent where the fat man was, where everyone was lying on the ground in a mess. The situation was not good and no one was in the mood to talk.

No one noticed them when they entered, until Qiu Ling raised her head and revealed her face, "Fat man!"

"Oh, my mother!"

The fat man jumped up suddenly and looked at her defensively, "Auntie, why are you here?"

Whether it was this time or during previous marches and wars, Gu Hanzhou always liked to take her with him. She is mainly responsible for taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and often cooks for him. This inevitably led to dealing with the kitchen, and I became familiar with the fat man over and over again.

The others also took out their weapons and surrounded her and Yun Que, but no one spoke.

The fat man narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"

"We are all from Mobei, and our families live and work in peace and contentment in Mobei. Do you really want yourselves to fight against each other? Are you willing to be traitors?"

Everyone was silent, looking unhappy.

The fat man sneered, "Is this something we can decide? We can only obey orders."

Qiu Ling took out the token given by the princess and said, "Now I'll give you a chance. Do you want to recognize the regent or the princess?"

It was the general's order, and the flesh on the fat man's face trembled, "Miss Qiu, you are a smart person, my brain is not good. Don't give me all these twists and turns, be direct."

"We are going to set fire to the mountain. If you are willing to lend us a hand, not only will we not blame you afterwards, but the princess will also reward you according to your merits."

"Really?" Someone was moved.

Qiuling lowered her voice and said, "The eldest princess knows that you are innocent, and she will not harm you for no reason even if she wins the battle. You are also from Mobei and have defended Mobei. And I am Gu Hanzhou's confidant. I and those After the secret guard abandoned the dark side and turned to the light, nothing happened."

She was moved by emotion and understood by reason, and soon everyone's expressions began to waver.

She continued to seduce, "If you are willing to help us, I will let Yun Que lead you out through the secret road after the task is completed."

"I think Fatty can do it, but I don't want to be a traitor."

"I still don't understand why we came out to fight outsiders, but now we are fighting with our own people!"

The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait."

He couldn't make the decision on such a big matter, so he went to find the general who was in charge of them.

The general arrived very quickly, and Qiu Ling repeated what she had just said.

The chief soldier who had been in the fire department for many years sneered and said, "You are good at making big promises, but I am willing. It's not because I am afraid of death, nor do I want to be a deserter. It's to avoid killing each other and to reduce the death toll."

She clasped her fists and said, "General, it's righteousness."

"Stop hating me, I'm just a rough person." He said solemnly, "The prince was a good prince, but it's a pity that he died. I hope that the princess will be a wise king in the future, and I will not risk my life in vain."

If he can come back alive this time, he will take off his armor and return to the field. If he couldn't live, he hoped that Mobei would still be peaceful and beautiful.

He summoned his firemen, most of whom were willing to work with him, and they quickly dispersed to places where food and grass were piled and to corners of the military camp.

Qiu Ling had mixed feelings. The soldiers were good soldiers, and the people were good people. The ones who were wrong were always the superiors who fought for power and profit.

Everyone's nerves were on edge, and the firemen were quietly strolling in the corner, completely unnoticed.

Qiuling retreated with Yunque into the deep mountains and dense forests. Then I took out the fireworks and started setting them off.

Soon the red-hot fireworks exploded in the night sky, dyeing half of the sky red, making it particularly gorgeous.

In the panic, everyone looked up at the sky in fear.

Gu Mingfeng also looked up and quickly realized something was wrong. "There are enemies lurking in from the southwest. The fireworks were set off from there. Quickly take people to catch them!"

The deputy general immediately took the people there, but Qiuling had already run away. The secret guards who had already chosen a place to ambush saw the fireworks exploding, and immediately poured out the kerosene and lit the mountain on fire.

Fires broke out in multiple places at the same time, and they were all places with lots of grass and leaves. Soon the fire spread throughout the back mountain.

"It's burning! It's burning!"

There were fires in several places in the military camp, and the fire was burning everywhere.

Han Ting finished organizing his troops, suppressed the turbulent morale of the troops, and returned to the tent. "Your Majesty, the fire will soon spread throughout the entire Luming Mountain. We must go down the mountain!"

The stand-in had already put on his armor, holding a silver spear and said coldly, "Since there is no way to retreat, let's kill to our heart's content."

Soon the fire struck like a prairie fire, and Han Ting shouted loudly, "Kill, kill down the mountain!"
