Chapter 7: Camp Raid

"Well, according to the detectives, they set up camp five miles away from the gate. Because it was dark, it was not clear that they had seen it clearly. It is estimated that the troops they came here this time were about 10,000." Hu Run reported to Tang Xiao, and the news was indeed not accurate enough.

"More than ten thousand?" Tang Xiao frowned. If the other party really dispatched more than ten thousand troops to come here and did not attack tonight, he would definitely come to knock on the door tomorrow morning.

"Although the Tang governor is relieved to have a humble position, they can't pass from here." Hu Run, Que Qi and several generals expressed their determination to Tang Xiao.

"Call two hundred elites, and go to the camp with me after nightfall." Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked south for a while, and then gave orders to Hu Run.

It doesn't matter whether the robbery camp is successful or not. At this time, we must first explore the enemy's reality. If we can catch one or two of the opponent's senior generals as puppets, the subsequent battle will be much easier.

"Master, we have too few troops, I think we should stick to it..." Que Qi suggested to Tang Xiao that two hundred people would rob the camp of ten thousand people, and seemed to be overestimating his ability.

Tang Xiao waved his hand and stopped Que Qi from continuing to speak. He didn't need anyone to give him advice. What he needed was a group of obedient subordinates.

Tang Xiao didn't really expect these two hundred people to help him, but these people hadn't been fighting for a long time. If they didn't let their elite troops get familiar with the atmosphere on the battlefield, they would probably be scared when more than 10,000 troops of the other side really came over, and Tang Xiao didn't believe that he could defend Fengxin Pass alone.

Once the confidence of these two hundred soldiers is raised, the two thousand soldiers will have the backbone. When the opponent's army is approaching, they will not be afraid before fighting.

After nightfall, the large iron gate of Fengxin Pass creaked open, and the 200 elite troops equipped by Tang Xiao came out one after another. Although the training time was a little short, the 200 people were still not bad at all in terms of equipment. In particular, Tang Xiao took down the secondary crossbow equipped on the 200 crossbow chariot and used it as their long-range attack weapon. He also equipped everyone with rockets. Under the cover of the night, he could perform miraculous effects.

Hu Run personally led the elite troops to follow Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao suppressed his speed and led them to form an array of one mile outside the coalition camp. After two hundred elite troops set up the formation, Tang Xiao transformed into eagle and flew straight to the coalition camp. He went all the way, and met the sermon detective and slapped him with a palm. After getting close to the camp, Tang Xiao quickly flew to the high altitude and peeked down, and quickly chose the target of sneak attack.

Coincidentally, the coalition forces did not realize that someone would come to rob the camp at this time. The Manchu general Ao Yin, the military supervisor Rosario sent by the Hai Clan Empire and more than a dozen personal soldiers were standing in front of the camp, pointing in the direction of Fengxinguan, probably discussing the march strategy after dawn.

As the vanguard general of the coalition forces, Ao Yin was so proud that he was talking to Rosario in a swing. He deserved to be unlucky. He met Tang Xiao today and did not play according to common sense. Only two thousand defenders dared to send 200 people to rob the camp.

It rained during the day today, and there was no moon after night. Tang Xiao returned to his human form in the sky. After sacrificing the flying magic weapon, he swooped down at high speed. A black and silver Wanlian Shenming armor appeared on his body instantly, which was integrated with the night. When Ao Yin found something was wrong, Tang Xiao's crab claw halberd was already as fast as lightning and stabbed towards him.

The 999-pound crab claw halberd and the half-ton Wanlian Shenming armor, with the power of Tang Xiao's swooping down from the sky, shattering the void, making the air burst. When the person fell, Ao Yin could not dodge at all. Before the sword was exhausted, he was extremely shocked, the black crab claw halberd had already stabbed from his chest.

After the crab claw pierced through his chest, it shook suddenly, tore half of his body and tore open. The remaining half of his body was blood splattered and rotten flesh flew everywhere. He fell to the ground without saying a word. Where the crab claw pierced, the solid ground was also pierced by the halberd, which was very terrifying.

Although Ao Yin has the third level of the Earth Yuan level, he only has the power of four talismans, which is far from Tang Xiao, who has the power of a cloud seal. In addition, Tang Xiao used a sneak attack, so it is not surprising that he was killed within one move. The coalition obviously underestimated the strength of the commander of the Daming Chaofeng Xinguan Guard.

Of course, as strong as Tang Xiao, he should not only have two thousand soldiers and horses. With the coalition's understanding of the Daming Dynasty system, Tang Xiao has long been awarded a general. In the Daming Dynasty, he should have at least one city. It is normal to command tens of thousands of troops under his command. It should not be just a mere lieutenant. The suppression and exclusion of Tang Xiao by the people in Taijing City caused a great loss to the coalition vanguard troops.

The long halberd was mighty, and the dragon flew and snaked. Although it was a thousand pounds of force, it was lifted lightly in Tang Xiao's hand. In addition, Tang Xiao's body was solid as a weight, and he was stabbed left and right, smashed and hit. Within a few moves, people in front of the coalition camp were overturned. Rosario, the military supervisor sent by the Bawei Empire, was also equivalent to the third level of the Earth Yuan level, and he had not yet figured out the situation. He followed Ao Yin and was stabbed by Tang Xiao's crab claw halberd in a daze.

After Tang Xiao cleaned up the front of the coalition camp with lightning speed, two demon-refining handprints captured Ao Yin and Rosario into the demon-refining demon-refining gourd, and then turned and retreated quickly. He originally thought that he had to go deep into the camp to get the opponent's leader, but he didn't expect that these two fools would stay outside the camp and were easily taken away by him. Moreover, these two were two third-level warriors at the Earth Yuan level. After joining Tang Xiao's puppet team, Tang Xiao's puppet formation will greatly enhance its strength.

The initial goal has been reached, and Tang Xiao is not willing to fight. He put away the crab claw halberd and the Wanlian Shenming armor, condenses the Qi and transforms the eagle and flies away in the distance.

After the crossbowmen guarding the coalition troops discovered the emergency situation in front of the camp, they immediately ran up to the camp wall. When they pulled the bow and arrow to shoot, the snow sculptures that Tang Xiao incarnated had long disappeared.

A moment later, a deputy commander of the vanguard army, named Han De, hurriedly put on his horse, led more than a thousand cavalry out of the camp and chased him in the direction where Tang Xiao disappeared. Unexpectedly, not chasing far away, more than two hundred rockets fell from the sky, and the dark night shot the thousand cavalry's formation. Han De stepped down from the fierce horse and was frightened. He quickly waved his hand to stop the more than a thousand cavalry under his command and slowly retreated towards the camp, so as not to miss the enemy's ambush late at night.

Shortly after Han De retreated to the camp, the injured Ao Yin and Rosario walked back from outside and shouted outside the camp that Han De would not shoot arrows. He said that after the attacking camp knew the identities of the two of them, he took the initiative to release them, and said that after dawn, he would surrender to the coalition forces and offer Fengxin Pass. Han De half-believed and half-doubted about Ao Yin and Rosario's statement, but one of them was the commander of these 5,000 people, the younger brother of Ao Deng, the deputy commander of the temporary camp in Wanrong, and the other was the supervisor sent by the Bavi Empire. Neither of them could afford Han De, so Han De hurriedly put away his doubts and welcomed them back to the camp.

Ao Yin and Rosario have become Tang Xiao's puppets. Tang Xiao manipulated Ao Yin and Rosario to walk around the coalition camp, while searching for their memories to find good strategies to defeat the enemy.

Soon Tang Xiao realized that Ao Yin's vanguard was actually only more than 5,000 people, not as many as Hu Run said. Moreover, they did not want to attack the next morning, but just set up camp here to observe the movements of the Daming Dynasty, so as to facilitate the transportation of the ordnance established in the Wanrong Camp.

If Tang Xiao had more than 10,000 troops in his hands now, after he learned of these military information, he would definitely attack Wanrong Camp overnight and defeat the opponent's spirit while the enemy was not yet stable. However, he only had two thousand people, so this idea could only be dispelled.

After controlling Ao Yin and Rosario, Tang Xiao sat in the military tent and began to command randomly. Based on Ao Yin's memory, he called some of the higher-level generals and masters of the army, including Han De, and sent them out to conduct reconnaissance missions around him in the name of worrying about the enemy's attack. Tang Xiao's body was guarding outside, and released a group of puppets to defeat them one by one, and captured them all.

The first-level Earth Yuan level captured the refining medicine, and the second-level second-level temporarily kept it as a puppet to wait for replacement in the future. Those below the Earth Yuan level, the fifth-level human and sixth-level human level were directly beaten to death and let the demon-refining and demon-tempering gourd collect it as backup energy.

Two hours passed, and all the Yuan-level warriors in Ao Yin's camp were killed and injured, and most of the strong men at the fifth and sixth level of the human-level, were killed and injured. Finally, Ao Yin personally brought Tang Xiao, who was disguised as a coalition army, into the camp. As soon as Tang Xiao entered the camp, he immediately released the Red-Clothed Head Tuo, Lin Gui, the leader of the Silver-Sthorn Beast, Zhong Lan and other second-level and third-level puppets in the Yuan-level, and cooperated with his body to start a massacre in the coalition camp.

After leaving Lin Zhen a letter, Lin Gui also brought Fengxin Pass by Tang Xiao, of course, to avoid him from leaving Tang Xiao's body too far away, and he revealed the secret of the demon-refining and demon-tempering gourd to Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen, who was in Hualien City, deeply suspected that Lin Gui's abnormality some time ago and his current disappearance were probably related to Tang Xiao, but due to the lack of conclusive evidence, and the war was tight and everything was busy, he had to temporarily hold this matter in his heart.
