The Northern Zhou army fighting in the front were stunned when they saw the flames rising into the sky. The flames were coming from their rear camp - the rear camp had been attacked!

At this time, Zhou Hanchi was still fighting against Chu Yi.

Yes, Chu Yi led his men to look for Chu Ren, but when he didn't find him, he turned directly north and fought with Zhou Hanchi's army.

When Chu Bian saw the flames rising into the sky, he knew that it must be his fourth brother who led the soldiers to burn the building. Apart from his fourth brother, no one else would do this.

When the Northern Zhou soldiers forced his fourth brother into the desert, they must have wanted to trap him to death in the desert. They never expected that his fourth brother could lead the soldiers across the desert and set their rear camp on fire.

Zhou Hanchi was extremely panicked. He didn't dare to fight with Chu Bie anymore. He was afraid that he would be attacked from both sides by the Daqi army, with Chu Bie's army on one side and the army rushing towards him from the rear camp on the other.

If so, they would be in complete danger.

Chu Yu could also estimate the thoughts of the Northern Zhou army. He shouted "Kill", and the soldiers behind him followed suit and shouted "Kill!" The morale was even higher than before, and the sound waves rushed forward, like a murderous aura.

Zhou Hanchi refused to admit defeat and gritted his teeth to make one last stand, until he saw another army of Daqi rushing towards them from the rear camp...

Zhou Hanchi was completely frightened and fled in panic with hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

——What trick did Daqi use this time? How could their army reach the rear camp of the Northern Zhou army without the Northern Zhou soldiers hearing anything? Did they fall from the sky? This is terrible!

Chu Xie led his soldiers and chased after Zhou Hanchi to kill him.

However, he did not chase for too long. When his fourth brother and his men came to him, he rode his horse back.

"Fourth brother!" Chu Ni called him excitedly.

Chu Ren pulled off the cloth strips covering his eyes, looked at Chu Yi, and also shouted, "Big Brother!"

Just by calling out a name, Chu Ren's tears burst out and wet his clothes.

The man did not cry easily because he did not reach the sad spot.

He and the soldiers behind him had just escaped death, with two thousand of their brothers dying, and finally fought a beautiful turnaround battle.

In the end, they joined forces with Chu Yu and forced Zhou Hanchi to flee to the northeast.

Chu Ren had never experienced such ups and downs before, so he couldn't control his surging emotions.

Not to mention him, even the more than 3,000 soldiers behind him couldn't help but wet their collars with tears.

Chu Ni looked at the people behind him. He had previously guessed that there were five thousand people following him, but now there were only more than three thousand people behind him, nearly half less. Chu Ni also knew how difficult their journey had been.

He patted Chu Ren's shoulder heavily and said, "Fourth brother, we won this battle."

Chu Ren raised his head and looked at his elder brother with red eyes.

Yes, victory.

They crossed the Death Desert, burned the enemy's rear camp, and inflicted more than 20,000 casualties on the enemy with only 3,000 people. They truly won the victory.

All food and drink came from the enemy. For Chu Ren, it was a great victory!

"Fourth brother, although you don't have the ability to kill the enemy, you have the talent to lead a general!" Chu Ni said.

Before this, he had never imagined that his fourth brother could lead so many people, successfully cross the desert, set fire to the enemy's rear camp, and rob the enemy's food!

If Chu Ni had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was something his fourth brother, a scholar, could do.

They had never won so beautifully in their battles against the Northern Zhou army.

Yes, Chu Ren could be said to have won this battle beautifully, quite beautifully!

"Brother, it's not me..." Chu Ren wanted to say that he survived thanks to his sister's great ideas.

But Chu Yu interrupted him and said, "The Northern Zhou army is heading northeast. Your Highness King Cheng may be in danger. I am now reinforcing Your Highness King Cheng.

“Fourth brother, you just came out from behind the enemy camp, you must be very tired, find a place to camp, eat and rest well, and then bring people to reinforce us.

“It’s going to be a tough battle.”

Chu Ren should be the one.

Just as Chu Yi guessed, Zhou Hanchi began to think about what to do next while he was evacuating the main army to the northeast.

As the main general of this war, he was placed with high hopes and never thought of failure. However, this time the Daqi cavalry made rapid progress and fought bravely, and the Chuya's fighting style was completely different from before, catching them off guard every time.

So that he is now defeated.

But we can't just go back like this.

Zhou Hanchi thought about the number of combatants on both sides and began to realize that Dongfang Shuo did not have many soldiers. On the contrary, Chu Xie had the largest number of soldiers.

In other words, they were confused by the information brought by the spies, and Prince Dongfang Shuo of Daqi did not have many soldiers.

He still has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and he estimates that Dongfang Shuo's troops are less than 100,000.

Zhou Hanchi immediately made up his mind - to attack Dongfang Shuo's route!

Zhou Hanchi, who had lost several times to Chu Bian, was eager to make a contribution, so Dongfang Shuo became a thorn in his side that he had to get rid of as soon as possible.

As long as Prince Daqi dies in the northern border, all the previous achievements of the Chu family will be wiped out and they will be considered losers!

Zhou Hanchi quickened his pace towards the northeast.

But Dongfang Shuo led an army of 50,000 and headed northeast. After walking for a long time, he did not encounter any enemy troops.

Dongfang Shuo was not in a hurry either. He knew that this was planned by Chen Cuo for him. It would not put him in any danger and would allow him to preserve his final strength to reap the fruits of victory of the Chu family.

After walking for several days, they finally encountered Northern Zhou soldiers, but there were only a few thousand of them. Before the two sides started fighting, those few thousand people fled directly.

Dongfang Shuo smiled contemptuously: "Just a few thousand people, you want to fight against my 50,000-man army. If I don't annihilate these few thousand people, how can I be the God of War of Daqi?"

With this idea in mind, Dongfang Shuo led an army of 50,000 to chase after them. However, the enemy was very cunning and he failed to catch up after two days of pursuit, which made Dongfang Shuo very angry.

Yu Liang advised him: "Your Highness, there are only a few thousand people. There is no need to keep chasing them. I am afraid they are baits and there is an ambush ahead."

Dongfang Shuo also had such concerns, but he felt that it was impossible because the Northern Zhou Dynasty must have sent most of its soldiers to deal with the Chu family.

These thousands of people were probably left behind to lure him somewhere else, so they could not support the Chu family - he just didn't want to provide support, so he deliberately chased after those thousands of people.

But just in case, Dongfang Shuo still said: "Send someone to investigate the situation."

Yu Liang sent some people to investigate the situation. The people under him came back and reported: "We didn't find any ambush. The enemy really only has about 3,000 people."

Dongfang Shuo was convinced in his heart that the other side had no ambush and simply had only a few thousand people.

If there is an ambush, Chen Cuo will inform him in advance.

But Chen Cuo did not send any message to indicate that the front was safe. He vowed to capture those thousands of people and kill them on the spot to enhance his reputation.

So he led his troops to continue chasing after them.

This was Dongfang Shuo's first time to fight in the northern border. He was not very familiar with the environment in the northern border. Just as he was about to catch up with those thousands of soldiers, he suddenly found that he was really ambushed.

This is a large canyon with high cliffs on both sides, and there is no escape.

His front and back routes were completely blocked by Zhou Hanchi and his soldiers.

Dongfang Shuo was shocked.

No, not possible!

With Chen Cuo around, he would not be able to face such danger. This is what Chu Runxue told him!

Moreover, the spy had told him exactly that there was no ambush ahead!
