"It's over, it's all over!"

As long as the Reserve Camp's remnants are successfully annihilated, we will be able to steady the situation in the southeast corner and then block the Capital's troops coming from Sheng Dynasty. At worst, we will be entangled in a protracted war of attrition with Sheng Dynasty's forces. The grand scheme of Ming State, is settled!"

...

Outside Luotian Pass.

The eastern sky slowly welcomed a rising red sun.

A fast horse galloped out of the morning glow, its rider, a scout, bellowed in a loud voice, "Report——"

"On the west bank of the Hongze River, in the direction of Meishan Prefecture, at least seven thousand troops are crossing the river!"

"Based on their march, it will take them at most another day and a half to reach the grand Luotian Pass!"

"Good!"

Yu Song was overjoyed and with a wave of his hand, ordered, "Set fire, burn the mountain!"

"The rest of you, follow me and break through to the Great Wilderness."

"Break through——"

...

Wulian Mountain.

This place is where Hongze River meets Wushui River.

Chen Sansi had his men waiting here well in advance.

"General Chen."

Lu Shuhua counted the days, "We've been hiding in this spot for four or five days, how come we've seen no signal from Vice Admiral Yu and his men? If this doesn't work, should we turn back?"

"Wait a bit longer."

Chen Sansi replied calmly, "Vice Admiral Yu and his men are capable."

"Smoke——"

"Fire!"

No sooner had he spoken, than everyone saw billowing black smoke rising in the southeast, like a black dragon ascending to the skies, spiraling above Luotian Pass and ferociously devouring the momentum of the Red Eyebrow Army.

Success!

Due to the distance between them to ensure rapid communication, setting the mountains on fire was used as the signal.

Now that the wildfire had spread for a hundred miles, it indicated that Vice Admiral Yu and his men successfully attracted the last of Red Eyebrow Army's elite forces, leaving their main stronghold, Meishan Prefecture, in an unprecedented state of vulnerability.

Next!

It is the final dance of this battle!

"Prepare the chariot, General!"

"Convey my command!"

Chen Sansi's pupils gleamed resolutely in the sunlight, his voice as sonorous as a great bell, reverberated in the ears of two thousand soldiers, "After the entire army crosses the Hongze River, seize the bridge and cross the Wushui River, then march straight for Meishan Prefecture, capture Liang Jinian alive!"

"Capture Liang Jinian alive!"

"Capture Liang Jinian alive!!!"

Two thousand men shouted in unison, their morale soaring to unprecedented heights.

At this moment.

In Chen Sansi's eyes, the phrase "Sinking Formation Death Will" surfaced once again. Even if individuals like Yan Changqing had different thoughts due to their status and positions, at this very moment, everyone shared one common goal in mind—kill the traitors!

"Who says I bear no clothes, with my brothers I share my robe!"

"Brothers, cross the river——"

They were already well-prepared, crossing the Hongze River for the fourth time within a mere two days.

Qian Xun and other horses had long been waiting on the riverbank.@@novelbin@@

The Wushui River, it has a bridge!

Their horses could advance unobstructed, reaching Meishan Prefecture at lightning-fast speed, appearing like Heavenly Soldiers descending upon the earth.

...

"Break through——"

The remnants of the Reserve Camp, led by Yu Song.

The last thirty horsemen, riding on seized warhorses, set fire to the mountains on their return journey after failing to force their way through Luotian Pass, resolving to cross back over the Hongze River and re-enter the heart of Ming State.

Unfortunately, they were surrounded on all sides by the enemy army, encircled as tightly as if in an iron barrel.

In a valley.

They were left with no room to retreat.

"How come there are only so few men?"

Liu Shoujiang reined in his horse, frowning at the mere thirty-odd riders before them, and demanded loudly, "Yu Song! Where are the rest of your men? Tell us their whereabouts and you will be spared!"

They were the ones who had converged from all directions, theoretically, no one should have been able to escape.

But they had only managed to kill less than a thousand enemies; the Reserve Camp's remnants clearly numbered more than three thousand.

The answer they received was the sound of swords being drawn.

"Reserve Camp, charge——"

Yu Song raised the Mo Blade high.

The last thirty or so riders of the Reserve Camp charged into the enemy army's formation of tens of thousands. In an instant, they were overwhelmed, disappearing without a trace, like mud cows into the sea...

...

Yangchun Prefecture.

The rebel army's main camp.

Dong An, donning his full armour with the help of his attendants, took up a He Miao Long Sword. He looked much better than he had in days, his eyes brimming with confidence.

"Report!"

"Outside the city, about fifty miles away, we suspect we've discovered traces of Sha Wenlong and others!"

"General Xiang is already in pursuit."

"Commander, do you wish to go see for yourself?"

"Mm, I know, once the battle report from Meishan Prefecture arrives, I will personally go there myself."

Dong An, holding a writing brush, sketched and planned on a map.

But his focus wasn't on the movements of the Reserve Camp's remnants; instead, he was strategizing the overall situation in Ming State.

The Reserve Camp's men couldn't possibly still be alive. The arrangements at Luotian Pass were foolproof, and the feint they employed was no longer effective. That Chen kid has run out of tricks at last!

Once the confirmation of the result matches his prediction, Dong An will personally don his armor, first to pursue and kill Sha Wenlong and then to assist Zhong Wuxin in the battle against Ji at Sword Gate Canyon.

The subsequent battles, however, seemed uninteresting to him, simply a contest of military strength and logistical support, without much room for surprises.

"Report——"

"Word from Luotian Pass, the Reserve Camp's remnants have been completely wiped out!"

"Vice Admiral Yu Song's head is on its way here!"

"..."

"Hmm, wait a second..."

Dong An sensed something amiss, "Only Yu Song? Where's Chen Sansi's head?"

"Commander..."

The soldier bowed his head, not daring to meet his gaze: "There's more important news. According to the battle report from Liu Anxing, they killed around a thousand of the enemy, the whereabouts of the other two thousand are unknown..."

Dong An shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Speak clearly!"

"Commander, I have told all there is to tell!"
