Amidst the frenzied shouts, the Frostwest soldiers reached their peak of morale.

Their hearts were filled with hatred and murderous intent towards the Great Liang, making their eyes bloodshot, as if they wanted to tear everything in front of them to shreds.

good!

Seeing this, Ashina Tiandu's confidence soared, and a smile appeared on his face.

With high morale and a numerical advantage, victory was practically assured.

He could no longer contain his excitement and roared, "Charge, my lords! Today I will personally beat the drums for you, let us break through the enemy together, and together usher in victory!"

"Whoever kills one person today will be rewarded with one tael of gold and promoted one rank. Whoever kills ten people will be rewarded with ten taels of gold and promoted three ranks. Whoever kills one hundred people will be granted a noble title..."

Wow!

Such a grand gesture made the soldiers below even more bloodshot.

They were just ordinary people; when had they ever seen gold? Not to mention, this time it wasn't just gold, but also official positions—it was definitely worth the risk.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill them!"

The generals below could no longer wait and led their troops out, rushing towards Bai Zizai's camp like a tidal wave.

If they had any reservations before, they are now completely fearless. They are now outnumbered and facing virtually no risk; all they need to do is kill the enemy and claim the credit.

If the generals weren't afraid of death, the soldiers below them were even more frenzied.

With their shields raised, the soldiers charged directly towards the enemy camp. Facing a hail of arrows, they didn't even try to dodge, launching a frenzied assault.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Arrows rained down on the shields, exploding into sparks in the darkness, accompanied by screams that echoed everywhere. But none of this could stop the Frostwest army; at this moment, they were fearless.

At night, the arrows lost their accuracy, and they could only rely on experience to shoot, which greatly reduced their threat.

The enemy has no aim, so the chance of death is less than half.

The leading general Asili, shouted, "The enemy's arrows are insufficient. Charge in! Today is your chance for promotion and wealth!" As long as they hold out until they reach Bai Zizai's camp, this battle will be won.

"Kill!"

The army instantly became agitated and began a frenzied charge towards the Great Liang army camp.

They quickly marched towards Bai Zizai's camp without encountering any ambush, which put everyone at ease; it seemed their worries were unnecessary.

Seeing this, Ashina Tiandu was overjoyed, never expecting it to be so easy.

However, just as he was preparing to celebrate, a sudden change occurred.

Boom!

A deafening explosion occurred in front of Bai Zizai's military camp.

The soldiers who rushed forward without warning were instantly killed; before they could even react, they were blown into the air.

Then another booming sound came from not far away, followed by several explosions, which completely stunned them!

"Ah... ah..."

Screams filled the air, and even the previously fearless Frostwest soldiers couldn't help but stop in their tracks, looking fearfully toward the camp.

The fear that once emanated from Great Liang gripped their hearts, causing many to tremble involuntarily.

This wasn't a case of being caught off guard; it was clearly the enemy who had prepared everything in advance, waiting for our people to approach before detonating the explosives and killing them instantly.

A cold sweat ran down Asili's back. He stopped abruptly from his frenzied charge, looking ahead with lingering fear, as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was lurking in the distance.

He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Damn it, I wonder if there's anything else ahead. This power is too great!"

I thought I was just reaping the rewards, but I never expected to run into the devil's clutches.

"General, what do we do now? Should we still charge?" His adjutant, who also looked fearful, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Asili's mind raced; the die was cast, and there was no turning back.

"Kill..."

Just as he was about to say to continue the attack, he suddenly felt the whole ground tremble, followed by a dense sound of horses' hooves.

"Oh no, the enemy really has an ambush, and it's not on their left or right, but right behind them!" Asili's expression changed drastically, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Damn it, no wonder the scouts couldn't find him before; it turns out he was right behind Bai Zizai.

However, they are cavalry, so they can quickly provide support. This is no pushover; it's a trap.

This is a big problem.

Without hesitation, he turned around and sprinted backward. Enemy reinforcements had arrived; what was the point of annihilating them? We'd be lucky if they didn't wipe us out.

"Retreat immediately!"

He roared, then turned and ran, thinking that wealth and glory could wait until another time.

Run!

Even before he spoke, many soldiers were already running back frantically. The commotion was so loud that it could be heard from a hundred miles away, and they naturally knew it was a trap.

If not now, when?

"Kill!"

In the darkness, a firework shot into the sky, followed by a massive cavalry force charging out from behind, led by none other than Ma Chao the Splendid, the powerful leader of the Western Regions.

Having waited for a long time in the rear, he rushed over immediately after hearing the explosion.

Looking at the enemy before him, his blood boiled. These were all lambs to the slaughter; in front of the cavalry, they were just waiting to die.

"Haha, you've arrived just in time, Ma Chao!" Bai Zizai seeing Ma Chao arrive.

Ma Chao glanced at him and laughed, " Old Man Bai, these enemies are all under the control of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry. You'd better stay back and cheer me on!"

After saying this, his cavalry charged directly into the Frostwest soldiers and began a wanton massacre.

These Frostwest soldiers were already terrified, and faced with the cavalry charge, they were almost powerless to resist. Their defeat was like a landslide, and they collapsed completely.

"Holy crap, this young man has no sportsmanship!"

Bai Zizai spat, then charged out with his Mo Dao on his shoulder, roaring, " The Asura Army, follow me! Let's hunt to our hearts' content today and send Frostwest on her final journey!"

kill!

The combined forces of the Asura Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry exceeded 800,000, and they surged forward in an instant.

One by one, Frostwest soldiers were slaughtered on the battlefield, terrifying the remaining Frostwest soldiers so much that they hurriedly headed back towards the city, as they could not withstand the enemy's advance.

Ashina Tiandu distance away, paled drastically and exclaimed, "How is this possible? There really is a conspiracy, an ambush behind us!!!"

His face was extremely pale, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky, instantly Bai Qi.

In the night sky, a row of lantern-like structures strung together, with figures moving about on them—there were actually people on them.
