"Pfft~"

"boom!"

A crossbowman who was walking at the front was startled when he heard the shout, but it was too late, he had already stepped out with his right foot.

The sand beneath his feet suddenly sank, and his whole body plummeted downwards.

"when!"

This veteran also had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he thrust the scimitar into the ground, trying to slow down his fall.

"Hold me tight!"

Li Jing, who was the first to notice something was wrong, rushed forward, lying on the ground and grabbed his arm.

At this time, a huge pit had appeared in this area, dust was flying, and the soldier's lower body had completely fallen into the pit.

The sudden change surprised everyone, and Hou Ling suddenly shouted softly:

"Be alert! Save people!"

At this moment, the elite of the crossbowmen was fully displayed.

The moment Hou Ling spoke out, the two soldiers closest to Li Jing had already taken steps to help Li Jing rescue the man.

Others immediately raised their crossbows, hid themselves nearby, and alerted the surroundings. Everything seemed to have been rehearsed in advance.

The three of them, Li Jing and Li Jing, worked together and finally pulled up the soldier who was in a terrible state.

Several people couldn't help but look into the pit and took a breath of cold air.

The large pit that suddenly appeared was almost two feet deep, and the bottom of the pit was covered with wooden and iron spikes. If the soldier just fell in, he would definitely die.

Li Jing just discovered that the soil quality in this area was different from that in other places, as if it had just been plowed, which aroused his alert.

If he hadn't acted quickly, he would have lost a brother tonight.

"Pooh!"

The veteran with a look of remnant on his face spat fiercely into the pit:

"Damn, I was almost scared to death! When did Yan Jun dig up such a thing?"

"Come on, just be satisfied. At least you still have the life to talk here." The soldiers beside him joked in a low voice.

Li Jing looked at the soldier lying half on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand and said:

"Let all the crossbowmen enter the camp and search along this big hole for me!"

Hou Ling was stunned and hesitated: "Brother, wouldn't this make too much noise? What if the Yan army ambushes?"

"Hmph~"

Li Jing snorted coldly, pointed to the ground and said: "With such a big hole at the entrance of the camp, there should be no ambush. If there is an ambush, they should come out now.

I guess the Yan army has withdrawn, so just in case, let the brothers search the military camp first."

"No!" Hou Ling nodded understandingly.

A large number of crossbowmen quickly poured into the military camp, and then searched inward little by little along the tunnel.

Sure enough, there were the same deep pits behind several village gates, wide and deep, filled with murderous intent, and the entire camp was indeed deserted.

Li Jing looked at the deep pits in front of him and said with a wry smile: "It seems that our trip will be in vain. Let's invite the prince and Yan Shuai to come."

…

Chen Yue and Yan Hongyi appeared next to the pit, looking helpless at the dark pit and the empty Yan Army camp.

Yan Hongyi said with a hint of joy:

"Fortunately, the crossbowman's brother helped us find the way in advance. Otherwise, if the tigers and leopards all rushed into the camp, we would have really suffered a big loss."

A cavalry sneak attack is not a slow advance of one or two people. Tens of thousands of people rush forward, and it is impossible to stop immediately.

Even if the soldiers in the front row discover the deep pit, the people behind will continue to move forward without knowing what is going on, and the crowded situation will get out of hand.

By then, these deep pits will probably be filled with the corpses of Liang Jun's comrades.

Chen Yue sighed:

"It seems that the Yan army was prepared. The soldiers and siege vehicles in the camp were completely withdrawn. We didn't even notice any movement."

"There is no way, they keep attacking the city, and the crossbowmen can't get out of the north gate at all." Yan Hongyi spread his hands helplessly.

Chenyue turned to look at Beixiang and muttered: "Since the Yan soldiers here are gone, I'm afraid the attack from Bai Xuewei's side won't go smoothly either~"

"Let's wait and see." Yan Hongyi waved his hand gently: "Search for me and see if there is anything valuable!"

"promise!"

…

"Da da da~"

There was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. Chen Yue turned around and vaguely saw a crossbowman galloping towards him in the darkness.

"It looks like the messenger has arrived." Yan Hongyi said helplessly.

"I've met the prince!"

Si Yangshuo, wearing light armor, appeared in front of the two of them. He was the scout who opened the way for Bai Xuewei.

After delivering this message, Si Yangshuo has been promoted to the rank of Centurion Crossbowman, and is highly appreciated by Chen Yue.

"How is the situation over there at Bai Xuewei?" Chen Yue asked softly.

"Return to your lord! The attack from the rear camp is blocked. The Yan army has been prepared and well-guarded.

Bai Xuewei was blocked from attacking twice, so Chu Duhu ordered the army to retreat three miles to standby and ask the prince if he wants to continue the attack."

"My lord, your guess is good." Yan Hongyi sighed softly:

"As soon as Mu Yun Duankang left, the entire Yan army turned into a turtle shell, which could not be penetrated by water or a needle."

Chen Yue almost did not hesitate, waved his hand and said: "Inform Chu Duhu to withdraw the troops and return to the city."

"promise!"

"This time we were out of ideas. We expected to destroy their siege vehicles and supply camps." Yan Hongyi said with some reluctance.

Chenyue smiled: "If it were so easy, Yan Jun would not be able to win this battle long ago."

"Yanrong Zhaopingling is indeed quite capable." Yan Hongyi said calmly.

Mu Yun Duankang was not in the military camp, so the one who wanted to direct the war must be Zhao Ping and Baili Shen.

"Haha, this person will definitely become my old opponent of Liang Jun in the future." Chenyue laughed and got on his horse, waving his whip and saying:

"Let's go too. This camp was burned down by them. Now that we're here, we have to do something."

"Hahaha."

…

In the Yan army's camp, Baili Shen also didn't sleep, and was standing on a high slope in the camp wrapped in a robe.

There was a row of elite guards standing seven or eight steps behind him, and from time to time someone would come over to report on the military situation on the front line.

Bailishen's face was expressionless, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the baggage camp. There were already a lot of fires burning there, and faint shouts of killing could be heard.

But not long after, the shouts of killing from the rear camp dissipated, and instead, the front camp, more than ten miles away, burst into flames.

When the sky became slightly brighter, a general finally came quickly to Baili Shen's side and reported in a deep voice:

"Sir, the rear camp is well-defended and as secure as a rock. The Liang army has all withdrawn after failing to attack.

No body of Liang Jun was found in the tunnel of the former camp. It seems that they were aware of the location of the trap, but they burned down the former camp before leaving."

"Uh, burned our empty camp?" Baili Shen was stunned and said in surprise:

"This King Liang is really a master who doesn't want to suffer losses."

While speaking, Bailishen had a look of regret on his face.

He originally hoped that those deep pits would cause as many casualties as possible, but he sent people to dig them all night for several days in a row.

The general scratched his head in embarrassment and did not answer.
