Chapter 160 The Final Battle Begins (1) -- Burning the Northern Barbarian Army
The next day.
The sky is slightly bright.
Liu Yu then arrived at Qin Wu's tent.
"Your Highness, the Northern Barbarians are preparing to make their move."
Liu Yu reported to Qin Wu.
"Are you finally ready to make your move? I wonder if they will like the gift I have prepared for them."
Qin Wu sneered.
Last night, the other three armies had already secretly returned here to assemble.
The other three military camps were already empty. Moreover, they were filled with traps, oil, and strong liquor.
Once they enter the camp, it will be their death day.
Thinking of this, Qin Wu's smile widened.
If he weren't so tied up, he would have loved to go and see the miserable state of the Northern Barbarians.
"By the way, are the soldiers all ready?"
Qin Wu asked again.
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is ready."
"The arrangements in the royal court are also complete. As long as they make a move, the city can also make a move."
Liu Yu continued to report the situation to Qin Wu.
This time, they are determined to completely resolve the problem of the Northern Barbarians.
Since the Northern Barbarians are all throwing their lives away anyway, how can we not make good use of them?
"Very good, let them decide when to act themselves."
Qin Wu didn't say much and simply dismissed Liu Yu.
"Someone, convey my order: have the army prepare, our guests are arriving."
Qin Wu then gave orders to the soldiers outside.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's order, the guards outside the door went to relay it without the slightest hesitation.
The army then began to move out quietly.
As dawn broke, the four gates of the Northern Barbarian Royal Court swung open, and the Northern Barbarian army charged out.
They charged toward the Zhenbei Army camp.
When they stormed into the Zhenbei Army camp, they found it completely empty.
They searched the entire military camp but couldn't find a single person.
"Your Highness, there is no one in this military camp."
The generals who had been searching all came to the central tent to report to the Left Wise King.
"No one?"
The Left Wise King frowned and asked.
He hadn't expected the military camp to be empty.
Where did those Zhenbei Army soldiers go?
This question arose in the mind of the Left Wise King.
"Yes, we searched the entire camp and found no one, not even food or weapons."
"This is an abandoned military camp."
The general reported back with a grim expression.
They reported the results of their search in detail.
After listening to the report, the Left Wise King pondered for a moment and then seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap! Order the entire army to retreat immediately."
The Left Wise King shouted loudly.
"Left Wise King, what's going on?"
The Lion King inquired.
He didn't know why the Left Wise King suddenly ordered a retreat.
"Our plan has probably been leaked; we've likely fallen into a trap."
"Lion King, don't ask so many questions now. I'll explain after we leave."
After explaining for a moment, the Left Wise King said anxiously again.
He had a bad feeling as soon as he entered the military camp, and now it seems that things are not so simple here.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! There are many traps in this military camp, and many of our soldiers have fallen into them, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries."
A general rushed in and reported to the Left Wise King.
However, the Left Wise King noticed something else and quickly went to the general's side.
I took a careful sniff.
Why do you smell like kerosene on you?
After confirming the taste, Zuo Xianwang immediately inquired.
"Ket oil? We don't have any."
The general was puzzled; he hadn't touched kerosene, so why would he smell of kerosene on his body?
After being reminded by the Left Wise King, the Lion King and his two companions also smelled the aroma.
They had actually smelled it earlier, but they hadn't paid any attention.
"Where have you been? Why are your shoes covered in kerosene?"
The Left Wise King carefully examined the general and immediately noticed the oil on the general's shoes.
"Your Highness, I searched the military camp but didn't find any kerosene!"
"No, the ground in the military camp is covered with kerosene."
The general was speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong; he had been so busy searching that he hadn't noticed.
The kerosene on the ground was accidentally left behind by the Zhenbei Army during their retreat.
But now it seems that it was not left unintentionally, but rather deliberately left by the Zhenbei Army.
"This is bad. Immediately order the entire army to retreat."
Upon hearing this, the Left Wise King roared.
He knew that this was probably a trap set by the Zhenbei Army.
If we don't leave now, it might be too late.
But it's too late.
Just as they were preparing to retreat.
Then we saw many rockets flying in from all directions.
"Damn it! Those who are at least Grand Martial Masters, take action immediately to block the rockets! Everyone else, retreat immediately!"
The Left Wise King's pupils widened suddenly, and he roared angrily as he channeled his inner strength.
Immediately, powerful figures took action to try and stop the incoming rocket.
Even the Lion King and others made a move.
After all, even if they are Grandmasters, they are still mortals. If they are surrounded by fire, it would be impossible for them to leave unharmed.
Especially after discovering a considerable amount of kerosene in the Zhenbei Army camp, they knew they were about to face a major crisis.
However, there were too many rockets being fired, and they simply couldn't block them all.
Many rockets landed on the ground, immediately igniting the oil on the ground.
The fire started instantly.
Many soldiers had been stained with oil to varying degrees because they hadn't paid attention beforehand.
After the fire started, his body immediately caught fire.
"This is bad, Left Wise King! Forget everything else now, immediately spread the word that everyone must flee for their lives, as many as you can escape."
Looking at the raging fire, the Lion King spoke directly to the Left Wise King.
The fire is already raging, making it impossible to extinguish it and rescue people.
Now they can only flee for their lives.
"All troops, listen to my command! Escape at your own pace and assemble outside the camp."
Without hesitation, the Left Wise King's voice, imbued with inner strength, rang out.
After issuing the order, the Left Wise King immediately led his men out of the military camp.
With three Grandmaster-level experts clearing the way, they managed to escape safely, albeit in a somewhat disheveled state.
But screams continued to echo from within the military camp, and they could see figures frantically calling for help amidst the flames, constantly retreating to the left and advancing to the right.
Looking at the scene in the military camp, the Left Wise King couldn't help but grit his teeth; he was now itching with hatred.
He truly hadn't expected the Zhenbei Army to pull such a stunt on them.
Keep in mind that they only decided on this plan yesterday, and they're already implementing it today.
Unexpectedly, they still fell into the trap set by the Zhenbei Army.
"The Divine Martial King".
The more Zuo Xianwang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but roar.
"Someone, go and check on the situation of the other three armies immediately."
After venting his anger with a roar, the Left Wise King immediately issued an order.
If the other three military camps were in the same situation, they would be finished.
Half an hour later.
"Your Highness, we have fallen into a trap. The two armies in the Northwest have encountered the same situation and suffered heavy losses. We don't know how many of them will survive."
"At the South Gate, our 150,000-strong army is surrounded by the Zhenbei Army and is currently being besieged and killed by them."
The scouts who went out to investigate returned and immediately reported to the Left Wise King.
"How ruthless, how ruthless the Divine Martial King! Isn't he afraid that such slaughter will invite divine punishment?"
The Left Wise King roared in anger.
He never expected Qin Wu to be so ruthless; this was an army of over a million!
In this way, three fires burned most of them to death.
