The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

"Your Excellency, the rebels outside the city are now withdrawing their camp!"

"Is this true?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yun and the others stood up suddenly, unable to hide their surprise. They kept asking, "Do you have any solid evidence?"

"There is solid evidence," the spy said firmly, "I saw with my own eyes that the rebels' tents had been dismantled one by one, the stoves had been cleaned up, and even the bodies of the fallen soldiers had been burned."

After the spy finished speaking, Lu Yun was silent for a moment, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "God will not abandon me, God has eyes! Hahaha!" His hearty laughter instantly infected everyone present, and everyone laughed heartily.

The laughter gradually died down, and Lu Yun restrained his smile, his face became serious: "How can we allow the rebels to come and go freely in the hinterland of Xihui City? Pass the order down, assemble the whole army immediately, and launch a counterattack against the enemy tonight!"

After the order was issued, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

For many days, they have been oppressed by the rebels and are now finally able to fight back. They are eager to avenge their previous humiliation and hold their heads high.

All the generals responded in unison: "I obey your orders!"

When Zhao Xuan suddenly ordered to abandon the camp and withdraw the troops, Duan Tianyang and Lu Yun each received the same information, but their reactions were completely opposite.

Duan Tianyang chose to remain in place, while Lu Yun chose to take the initiative!

This difference was largely due to their respective positions. Duan Tianyang's purpose in this trip was to rescue Xihui City. His goal was to ensure that the city would not be occupied by the rebels, not to fight a bloody battle with the rebels.

It would be best if we could avoid unnecessary conflicts and reduce casualties.

As the chief of the Xihui City Guard, Lü Yun was responsible for resisting the enemy. Facing the massive invasion of the rebels, he felt a great sense of responsibility.

Therefore, when he learned that there was an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle, he certainly would not let it go.

So, when the rebels were preparing to evacuate at night, Lu Yun decisively adopted the strategy of turning defense into offense and led his troops to launch a sneak attack late at night.

That night, Lu Yun personally led three battalions of soldiers, and under the cover of darkness, they quietly left Qilin City and headed straight for the rebel camp.

To be on the safe side, he did not mobilize all the troops in the city, but left more than 2,000 people to guard the city.

As they gradually approached the rebel camp, they saw that the camp was brightly lit but empty.

Even at the camp gate, there were only two rebel soldiers standing guard.

Lu Yun observed silently for a moment, then whispered to the generals beside him: "Get rid of those two guards." Two soldiers with superb archery skills immediately took the order and moved forward.

The two soldiers crawled quietly on the ground, and when they were only a dozen meters away from the rebels, they looked at each other and nodded, then raised the crossbow together and shot arrows.

Puff, puff! Two arrows hit the rebels' necks. However, what was puzzling was that the two rebels stood firm like a rock, showing no signs of falling.

The two soldiers were horrified and shot three crossbow arrows in succession. Each arrow hit the vital point, but the rebel still stood upright.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong, so they all stood up and walked to the camp gate to take a closer look.

It turned out that they were not rebels at all, but two scarecrows wearing rebel uniforms and armor.

The two men suddenly felt something was wrong and hurried back to their own camp, shouting to Lu Yun: "Sir, those two guards are actually scarecrows!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's face changed suddenly. He stood up abruptly and said in surprise: "Oh no, the rebels must have escaped!" After that, he rushed towards the rebel camp first.

The Xihui Army, led by Lu Yun, rushed into the camp first.

Looking around, I saw that the camp was empty except for straw, some of which was scattered on the ground, and some was hastily tied into the shape of a half-man.

Obviously, the rebels were worried that they would be discovered by the Xihui Army during their retreat, so they set up a confusing formation and used scarecrows to impersonate soldiers in an attempt to confuse the enemy.

It’s just that the rebels evacuated in a hurry and didn’t set up enough scarecrows for cover.

A battalion guard picked up an unfinished scarecrow and handed it to Lu Yun: "Please have a look, sir. There are all these in the rebel camp."

Lu Yun took it, glanced at it, and threw it hard to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "The rebels must not have gone far. Soldiers, follow me and chase them!"

At this time, he had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. He only thought that he had arrived too late and the rebels had already fled.

Lu Yun led his men through the camp in pursuit of the rebels, but when they reached the center of the camp, suddenly, shouts and drums from all directions shook the earth, rolling in like waves.

The soldiers of the Xihui Army were shocked by this sudden situation and their faces changed suddenly. They looked around involuntarily and saw flickering fires and crowds of people outside the camp. Countless rebels were pouring in like a tide.

"It's terrible, sir, we've fallen into the enemy's trap!" a battalion guard captain shouted in panic.

Of course, Lu Yun also realized that something was wrong, and he decisively ordered: "The entire army turns around and retreats into the city!" However, it was too late to retreat at this moment.

Outside the camp, the rebels had already set up a dragnet. When the Xihui Army fled towards them in panic, the rebels raised their bows and arrows in unison, and a dense stream of arrows poured down like a torrential rain.

What's worse is that these arrows are not ordinary arrows, but rockets wrapped in oilcloth, which will ignite a raging fire once they touch.

The Xihui army set up a shield formation for defense, however, when the arrows landed, the dry straw on the ground was instantly ignited.

Lu Yun and others thought that these were materials prepared by the rebels to make scarecrows, but now they suddenly realized that this was a trap carefully set by the rebels, intending to launch a fire attack.

Unfortunately, they noticed it too late and knew it too late.

As the number of rockets fired by the rebels continued to increase, the fire under the feet of the Xihui Army spread rapidly, thick smoke billowed, and the dry straw instantly turned into a raging fire.

Many soldiers had their trouser legs ignited by the flames before they could react.

The flames burned their legs, and people screamed in agony and fell to the ground.

Once they fell, the fire quickly spread all over their bodies. For a moment, screams and cries were heard one after another in the camp, which was horrible to watch.

Groups of soldiers enveloped in flames roared desperately in the raging flames, trying to escape from the sea of ​​fire and run to the edge of the camp.

However, before they even stepped out of the camp, they were hit fatally by the enemy's ruthless arrows. They were pierced by the dense arrows like hedgehogs and died on the spot.

Screams rang out in the camp one after another, and the Xihui Army fell down in large numbers, being brutally burned or shot to death in the flames and rain of arrows.

The rebel generals looked at this tragic scene with cold and satisfied smiles on their faces.

They all saluted the middle-aged man in the team wearing a dazzling silver helmet and silver armor, and praised: "General, your strategy is really brilliant. It is really wonderful to lure the snake out of its hole and lure the enemy into a trap. Haha!"

This mighty middle-aged man in silver armor is none other than Zhao Xuan, the commander who led 20,000 rebels to attack Qilin City!
