"At that time, Elder Zeng and the others..."

"We will definitely support the strategy that you, Professor Shi, have stuck to."

"Um,"

Shi Wengong nodded.

"What you said does make sense."

"While defending the city tonight,"

"Teacher Su, you should also be careful,"

"Don't let Liangshan find an opening."

"Please rest assured, Professor Shi,"

Su Ding assured,

"I will personally go up to the city wall tonight to guard it,"

"We must not allow any accidents to happen in Zengtou City."

...

That night, at midnight

The Zeng family's five sons included the third son, Zeng Suo, and the fifth son, Zeng Sheng.

The two men led eight hundred soldiers from Zengtou City.

They quietly opened the gates of Zengtou City.

They stealthily made their way towards Liangshan's camp.

Behind them,

Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu, the eldest son of the Zeng family, led a thousand soldiers to escort the rear.

If the night raid ahead is successful,

Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu then led their troops forward to expand their gains.

But what if we encounter an ambush ahead?

Later, Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu joined them.

They were responsible for providing assistance.

To prevent Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng from getting into trouble.

at the same time,

Zeng Mi, the second son of the Zeng family, and Su Ding, a teacher,

He then led the remaining soldiers to defend the city wall of Zengtou City.

......

The location where Liangshan set up camp

It is more than ten kilometers away from Zengtou City.

The Zeng family's five sons included the third son, Zeng Suo, and the fifth son, Zeng Sheng.

He led eight hundred soldiers from Zengtou City.

In the darkness of night

It took almost an hour to walk.

That's how they arrived near the Liangshan camp.

Zeng Sheng, the fifth brother, personally led scouts to investigate the situation at Liangshan.

Upon seeing the entrance to Liangshan's camp...

Although torches were lit

However, the patrol team clearly didn't have many soldiers left.

Zeng Sheng immediately became even more confident in his night raid plan.

After returning to the main force,

He immediately urged his third brother, Zeng Suo, to take action.

"Fifth Brother, it seems we've overlooked something,"

Zeng Suo said helplessly,

"The Liangshan troops have been marching for days and are indeed exhausted,"

"But look at the people on our side..."

Zeng Sheng turned his head in confusion.

But then they saw that the Zeng family had acquired soldiers and horses.

They were all trembling and huddled together.

"this......"

"It's the dead of winter now, and the nights are much colder than the days,"

Zeng Suo said helplessly,

"Only half of our soldiers are wearing cotton-padded clothes,"

"Most of the soldiers were still wearing only single-layer clothing,"

"I just walked for more than an hour in the wind and snow,"

"It's freezing cold right now,"

"Many people can't even hold a weapon anymore!"

"Fifth Brother, should we retreat instead...?"

"no,"

Zeng Sheng immediately interrupted,

“I just went to check,”

"The Liangshan camp was poorly guarded,"

"This is a rare opportunity to defeat them!"

"But what about our side..."

Zeng Suo expressed his concern.

"It's alright, Third Brother,"

Zeng Sheng said,

"We're going to set fire to something,"

"As soon as the fire starts,"

"Will we still worry about the soldiers being cold then?"

"OK then!"

Zeng Suo nodded helplessly.

"Everyone took up their weapons and lit torches,"

"After we rush into the Liangshan camp,"

"Set fires everywhere immediately!"

"Upon seeing the Liangshan camp, immediately set it on fire, understand...?"

Chapter 1438 Ambush

With Zeng Suo's command

Zeng Sheng took the lead.

He led his eight hundred soldiers.

They charged fiercely toward Liangshan's main camp.

And the Liangshan camp

However, they seemed unaware of the approaching Zengtou City forces.

Still silent

Looking at the quiet camp,

Zeng Suo instinctively felt that something was not right.

Anyway,

This group of people,

However, there were nearly eight hundred people.

The commotion they've caused now

It is quite large.

Even if some people in the Liangshan camp were exhausted from their journey...

And sleeping too soundly

But it shouldn't be that bad.

Everyone is probably asleep and won't wake up.

Thinking of this,

Zeng Suo hurriedly went to greet Zeng Sheng,

But in the end, it was still too late.

Zeng Sheng saw that the Liangshan camp was completely silent.

They thought they were still unaware of their ambush.

Feeling smug,

They had already rushed to the front lines long ago.

The first to charge into Liangshan's camp,

"Quick, burn it for me!"

"Burn this Liangshan camp to the ground!"

Zeng Sheng loudly called out to his soldiers,

But the next moment,

Something happened suddenly.

But this made his eyes widen in surprise.

The joy on his face instantly froze!

There, near the inner part of the main gate of the Liangshan army camp,

As Zengtou City's forces poured in...

The originally flat ground,

Suddenly, I sank in!

This dent that suddenly appeared,

It's like a gaping, hungry mouth.

In an instant, it swallowed up more than a dozen soldiers from Zengtou City.
