Inside the Black Mountain Army tent, Yu Du and several Generals gathered in the main tent, all looking defeated and dispirited.
“Bang!” Yu Du slammed his fist on the commander's desk, drained the wine in his cup, and threw it to the ground.
“Damn it! Did you find out clearly, which bastard dared to screw this old man?!”
Seeing Yu Du enraged, the group of school lieutenants dared not speak, only Fang Ping said, “Reporting, General, the armor of these Soldiers is the standard imperial issue. This place is closest to Guangping County, I'm afraid…”
“Damn it! Did that Magistrate of Guangping dare to plot against this old man?!” Yu Du roared, slamming the desk, “This old man will definitely skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones to dust!”
Fang Ping said, “General, this Magistrate of Guangping seems not to be underestimated. We still need to act cautiously…”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Du angrily shouted, “Fang Ping! Why do you always boost others' morale and diminish your own prestige? How did such a soft egg like you appear under this old man's command?!”
“General, this…”
“Pass on my military order! The entire army will rest for one night, and tomorrow morning, we will march to Guangping County to take revenge!”
Upon hearing this, Fang Ping frowned and quickly said, “General, today's battle resulted in heavy casualties for our army. Morale is low now. Rashly sending out troops may not be appropriate.”
“Nonsense! Morale is low? Who dares to talk nonsense and disrupt military morale will be immediately beheaded!”
Saying this, Yu Du grabbed the wine jar on the commander's desk and gulped down the wine.
After drinking in one breath, Yu Du looked up and saw that everyone was still sitting there blankly, all looking dispirited. He immediately became even more angry and shouted, “What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and pass the order! Get out!”
“Understood.”
Several school lieutenants, as if granted a great pardon, quickly responded and retreated.
Fang Ping was worried and wanted to say something more, but a school lieutenant beside him quickly pulled him and whispered, “Didn't you see the General is angry? Hurry up and go!”
Fang Ping sighed and had no choice but to withdraw with the others.
It was the third watch, and a team of Soldiers quietly approached the Black Mountain Army camp.
Zhang Chen, Pan Feng, and Gao Ming led the way on three horses, followed by two hundred Trapped Camp and three hundred First to Ascend Camp Soldiers, all ready for battle.
The two hundred Trapped Camp Soldiers, who had been arranged to defend the city during the day, were quite dissatisfied. Seeing their other brothers earn merit, they were naturally unwilling to fall behind, and each of them was already eager to kill more bandits later.
Zhang Chen looked into the distance and saw watchtowers standing at the four corners of the camp, with a Soldier on each tower. There were also two Soldiers on duty at the camp gate.
However, the Soldiers on guard duty were listless at this time, and some were even dozing off.
Zhang Chen looked further into the camp and saw that despite the large camp, there were no patrols at night. The defense was so lax, showing that the person leading the army was truly a useless glutton!
Seeing this, Gao Ming beside him said to Zhang Chen, “Lord, the camp's defense is so lax, why don't I lead men to set fire to the camp, and you lead men to attack the camp from the front? This way, we will surely achieve a great victory!”
“Good! I had the same idea!” Zhang Chen laughed, “In that case, I will trouble General Gao and all the brothers. However, please remember, General Gao, only burn the camp, not the grain and supplies. Those grain and supplies are all ours!”
Gao Ming smiled knowingly, “Don't worry, Lord, Zhang He understands!”
Saying this, Gao Ming waved his hand, “Brothers of the First to Ascend Camp, follow me!”
With a command, three hundred First to Ascend followed Gao Ming.
Zhang Chen and the others waited for a moment, only to hear the sound of arrows. Suddenly, over a hundred fire arrows fell inside the camp, and when they landed on the tents, they burst into raging flames!
In an instant, dozens of military tents began to burn.
Soon, the Soldiers inside the camp ran out in a panic, some not even fully dressed, shouting as they ran, “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“General Gao succeeded, General Pan, it's our turn!”
Zhang Chen said to Pan Feng. Pan Feng casually picked up an iron bow, drew the string, and with a “whoosh,” shot down the guard on the watchtower.
Zhang Chen held his spear, pointed towards the camp gate, and shouted, “Charge!”
With a command, Zhang Chen and Pan Feng led the charge on two horses, followed by two hundred Trapped Camp like wolves and tigers.
At this time, the camp was in chaos. The guards at the camp gate heard the commotion and looked back, but did not realize that the enemy had already reached the gate.
Zhang Chen and Pan Feng arrived at the camp gate on their fast horses. Zhang Chen thrust his spear, knocking down one guard, while Pan Feng swung his large axe, cutting the other guard in half with one blow.
In an instant, the camp gate was opened, and two hundred Trapped Camp Soldiers, like fierce tigers entering a flock of sheep, began to slaughter the panicked bandits in the camp!
At the same time, hundreds of Soldiers wearing fine iron armor and holding dual crossbows poured out from the surrounding tents, launching a frantic barrage of arrows at the bandits.
Those men held dual crossbows, and their arrows never missed, each arrow taking the life of a bandit Soldier.
Zhang Chen watched, secretly praising.
The First to Ascend Soldiers truly lived up to their reputation!
Just then, some Soldiers poured out from several tents in the rear, led by several school lieutenants, desperately directing the Soldiers.
“Don't panic! Don't panic! Those who retreat will be executed!” a school lieutenant shouted, waving a heavy iron spear in his hand, directing the surrounding Soldiers.
Zhang Chen's gaze instantly fell on that person.
【Name: Cui Ba】
【Possessed Attributes: Spear Skill (Initial Understanding) (Green), Superhuman Strength (Blue)】
Hehe! The one to deliver the attributes is here!
Why did Zhang Chen personally lead the men here? The main purpose was to harvest a wave of attributes. Otherwise, if he sent everyone else, he wouldn't even see a single enemy hair, so what would he plunder?!
“Brothers, charge with me!”
Zhang Chen shouted, pointed with his spear, and galloped towards Cui Ba to kill him.
The Trapped Camp Soldiers also roared and charged forward one by one.
Seeing this momentum, the enemy Soldiers were terrified and scattered like rats. Zhang Chen charged forward on his horse, and anyone blocking his path was killed with a single spear thrust, all knocked off their horses.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the Blue Attribute “Superhuman Strength”, gaining 150 Plunder Points!】
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the Green Attribute “Spear Skill (Initial Understanding)”, gaining 100 Plunder Points!】
As he approached, Zhang Chen instantly activated his “Hand of Plunder”, plundering both attributes from Cui Ba.
Seeing Zhang Chen charging towards him, Cui Ba was about to raise his spear to meet him, but suddenly felt his arms go weak and couldn't lift his spear. While he was in shock, Zhang Chen thrust his spear out, piercing his heart and ending his life.
Poor Cui Ba didn't understand until he died why he suddenly couldn't even lift his spear.
With Cui Ba dead, the enemy's morale became even lower, and they instantly lost the will to fight. The formation that had just been organized collapsed again, and Zhang Chen's side once again showed a “one-sided” advantage.
At this time, the sounds of killing had alarmed everyone. Four school lieutenants charged out from the tents, leading a group of Soldiers to surround them.

!!!
When his gaze fell on Fang Ping, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, there was such a figure in the Black Mountain Army!
