Chapter 778 Lei Ze's Heavy Cavalry Traverses the Enemy Camps!
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers controlled by the Yuan family had a glint of greed and anticipation in their eyes.
The fact that the Crimson Imperial Army, which had been managed by the Yan King's Mansion for hundreds of years, was able to be largely controlled by powerful families like the Yuan family so quickly suggests that many of them were lured by incentives.
Therefore, these Red Guard soldiers who could be easily bought off by the Yuan family and others were naturally not loyal and dutiful people.
Moreover, the soldiers in the barracks all know that although transporting supplies is hard work, it often comes with a lot of extra money.
"Of course it's true, brothers, would I lie to you?"
The squad leader patted his chest and said confidently, "Besides, this time the commander-in-chief personally gave the order; it's a rare opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers controlled by the Yuan family exchanged glances and then stood up.
Although they were controlled by the Yuan family, they dared not disobey their commander's orders in the slightest.
They had no choice but to put aside their tasks and follow the squad leader toward the main camp.
This scene is just one of many deceptive schemes.
Elsewhere, Shi Fuyan's trusted soldiers were also using various pretexts to transfer soldiers controlled by the Yuan family away from their posts.
Some said the main camp had urgent military intelligence to deal with, others said they had discovered enemy traces and needed to investigate, and still others said the commander-in-chief needed them to carry out a special mission.
Although these excuses differ, they all have one thing in common: they can all get the soldiers controlled by the Yuan family to temporarily leave their posts, creating an opportunity for the next operation.
As more and more soldiers were transferred from their posts, more and more vacancies began to appear in the Red Guard's camp.
These gaps were exactly what Shi Fuyan and his men needed, and more and more Red Guard soldiers began to take advantage of them, quietly approaching the camp gate.
In the darkness, Shi Fuyan's figure stood out conspicuously.
He stood by the camp gate, gripping a long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with determination.
He knew there was no turning back now; he had to succeed, for the sake of the Flame King's Mansion and for the Crimson Imperial Army!
"Your Highness, everything is ready. We can proceed."
A black-robed elder quietly approached Shi Fuyan and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Shi Fuyan nodded slightly.
He took a deep breath, then suddenly swung his longsword, the tip slicing through the night and emitting a dazzling, cold light.
"action!"
At the same time, he shouted loudly.
At his command, the Crimson Imperial Army soldiers who remained loyal to the Flame King's Palace sprang into action.
Whether opening the camp gates, clearing obstacles, or covering their comrades, the entire operation proceeded in an orderly manner.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Red Imperial Army's camp, a group of heavy cavalrymen, clad in dragon-scale armor, wielding dragon spears, and riding fierce warhorses, appeared as if they had leaped out of an ancient legend under the moonlight. The sound of each hoof landing was like a muffled thunderclap in the silent night.
"go ahead!"
Nangong Tianxia's deep command suddenly rang out in the darkness, like a horn awakening the sleeping thunder.
The Thunder Dragon Riders behind him instantly sprang into action, their neighing piercing the night sky, their iron hooves shattering the silence, carrying an unstoppable momentum, like dark clouds pressing down, sweeping towards the Crimson Imperial Army camp.
As time went on, the speed of the Razer Dragon Riders increased until they transformed into a black torrent, blurring the boundary between the night and the battlefield, leaving only afterimages to proclaim their presence.
Inside the Crimson Imperial Army camp, the previously lax guards were awakened at this moment, but faced with this sudden and thunderous force, their reaction was insignificant.
The charge of the Razer Dragon Riders was not only a display of speed and power, but also a form of psychological pressure. The feeling of the sky being overturned and the earth trembling instilled an indescribable fear in the hearts of every soldier who witnessed it.
Meanwhile, in a tent near the center of the Red Imperial Army camp, when the first neigh of a warhorse reached Yuan Shu's ears, he thought it was some inconsiderate patrol that had disturbed his sweet dream.
However, as the deafening sound of hooves grew closer, accompanied by the thunderous charge of the Thunder Dragon Cavalry, Yuan Shu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
He looked up abruptly and saw a black wave approaching at an alarming speed, the oppressive feeling almost suffocating him.
The Thunder Dragon Cavalry surged into the camp like a tidal wave. Yuan Shu, who had been standing in the center of the Red Imperial Army camp, surrounded by many Yuan family retainers and appearing particularly flamboyant, instantly became the target of everyone's attacks.
"Thunder... Thunder Dragon Rider! How could it be a Thunder Dragon Rider?"
Yuan Shu's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled with disbelief.
Even the Yuan family retainers around him exchanged bewildered glances, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.
Although they could all be considered experts among internal energy cultivators, their individual martial prowess was rendered insignificant in the face of such a massive, overwhelming force.
Although they could all be considered experts among internal energy cultivators, their individual martial prowess was rendered insignificant in the face of such a massive, overwhelming force.
"Quick! Take me away!"
Yuan Shu shouted in a panic, his voice trembling slightly.
He hurriedly urged the Yuan family retainers beside him, hoping they could quickly take him away from this place of death.
He never imagined that his carefully laid plan would be broken in this way, especially when he was at his most triumphant, with his enemy so brazenly intruding.
Upon hearing this, the retainers of the Yuan family quickly escorted Yuan Shu to the rear of the camp.
However, although those who were worshipped were all experts with considerable cultivation, in such a chaotic situation, they were too busy to take care of themselves in the face of such powerful Thunder Dragon Riders, let alone protect Yuan Shu, who was a burden.
Moreover, how could Nangong Tianxia let them off so easily?
He had already locked onto Yuan Shu's figure, like a cheetah locking onto its prey, determined not to give up until it achieved its goal.
With the intelligence support of the Daqian Xuanjing Division, many generals in the Daqian army that is suppressing the rebellion are now familiar with Yuan Shu, the culprit who caused the internal strife in the Chiyu Army.
As long as we can take down Yuan Shu, this troublemaker, the control of the Yuan family and other powerful families over the Red Imperial Army will not immediately collapse, but it will at least cause chaos for a period of time.
This period of time is enough for the Yan King's Mansion, which is still nominally the Yan King, and Shi Fuchen and others to clean up the mess.
Thus, with Nangong Tianxia's order, an elite squad of the Thunder Dragon Riders, led by his Soul-Destroying War God Yang Yin, set off.
They immediately broke away from the main group and, like an arrow released from a bow, headed straight for Yuan Shu.
Meanwhile, the remaining main force of the Thunder Dragon Riders, led by Nangong Tianxia, cut through every inch of the Crimson Imperial Army camp like a sharp blade.
Countless heavily armored cavalrymen bypassed obstacles and crossed ravines, maintaining a breathtakingly fast charge.
