Chapter 1001: Chapter 13 The Revenge of the Sapling [Two in One]_3 Chapter 1001: Chapter 13 The Revenge of the Sapling [Two in One]_3 Then, as the horses panicked and ran wildly, knocking over tents in their frenzy, they connected with the open flames within, which eagerly began to burn…

In almost no time at all, the sounds of shouting men and neighing horses merged into chaos, accompanied by billowing black smoke and flames!

Suddenly, with screams piercing the air, tens of thousands of men were running amok, tens of thousands of horses galloping all around, and fireworks lighting up the sky—the entire camp, even the whole night itself, erupted into uproar.

Almost no one noticed that countless tree roots jutting out from the ground swiftly retracted, just as they had done previously against Bai Yihwen.

Bursting out of the ground, piercing through the snow’s surface, they directly stabbed into the hinterlands—ahem—of countless horses, before quickly withdrawing. The entire process took no more than the time of ten breaths!

Just imagine—

If you were leisurely enjoying the sunshine when suddenly something cold and large entered from behind, going deeper and deeper…

Then you could understand why those horses went mad.

How could they not freak out?!

In the distance, a giant pine tree stood tall against the sky, swaying in the wind.

A sense of satisfaction emanated from it.

Yes, vengeance achieved.

Finally got a breath of relief.

Humph… how dare they chop at me last year…

Now, are you comfortable?

Well, I, the tree, certainly am.

…

In the distance.

The Qin Army’s main camp.

Upon receiving the report of the Yan Army’s sudden chaos, Wu Tiejun swiftly soared to the top of the flagpole just for a glance. Without even coming down, he urgently gave the order, “Gather the generals! Mobilize the troops! Decisive battle! Fei Xinyu!”

“Present!”

“My division will engage the enemy immediately!”

With a booming sound, as the vanguard, Fei Xinyu led five thousand elite troops and charged toward the enemy like a swift arrow.

Behind him, Wu Tiejun’s commands came out rapidly, like a machine gun firing without stopping.

“Zhao Yunlong!”

“Present!”

“Engage the enemy! Follow after Fei Xinyu on the left flank! Immediately!”

“Yes!”

“After joining the battle, follow Commander Fei’s orders!”

“Yes!”

“Li Changfeng!”

“Present!”

“Engage!… Right flank! Immediately! Follow Commander Fei’s orders!”

“Yes!”

“Meng Yougong!”

“Present!”

“You are to lead thirty thousand troops and hold the rear. If the battle turns unfavorable, cover the retreat of Fei, Zhao, and Li! If the situation is favorable, follow Commander Fei and pursue the enemy relentlessly! No mistakes!”

“Yes!”

“Tian Dahui!”

“Present!”

“I give you twenty thousand soldiers to directly intercept the approaching Yan Army. Fight to the last man—do not let a single Yan soldier cross our line. The lives and retreat of the fifty thousand soldiers under Fei Xinyu all depend on you!”

“Yes! This subordinate pledges by military decree: I will stand as long as the formation stands, and only if I fall will the formation fall!”

“Go!”

Having deployed these forces, Wu Tiejun took a quick breath and continued issuing orders, “Ma Qiange!”

“Present!”

“My division will engage the enemy, straight into the Qi Army’s camp!”

“Yes!”

“In this battle, I don’t seek casualty counts; I want a breach! Even if you perish in battle, die only after the breach has been made. Can you do this?!”

“Yes! I swear I will complete the mission!”

“Immediately!”

“Yes!”

“Sun Kuo-Chiang!”

“Present!”

“You three will lead the army and follow after Ma Qiange directly into the Qi Army’s camp!”

“Yes!”

“Signal the reserve forces to advance. The entire reserve troop must push forward—leave not a single man behind, head straight to the front line! There’s no need to regroup; just charge at the Yan Army head-on and crush them at all costs. If not victory then martyrdom!”

“Yes!”

“Signal for the soldiers stationed at Hundred War Pass to abandon their posts and join the reinforcement without delay.”

“Yes!”

“The rest, all charge at the Qi Army’s camp!”

“Gentlemen!”

Wu Tiejun roared to the heavens, “Today is the day we expand the territory of Great Qin!”

“To victory!”

…

The Qin Army, like furious dragons and tigers, shattered the night with their cries. The rumbling of tens of thousands of charging horses shook the very earth and sky!

On the side of Great Yan, Wu Tiejun had deployed a total of eighty thousand troops encompassing both surprise attacks and intercepting forces.

He believed that considering the chaos within the Yan Army and with Fei Xinyu at the helm, these eighty thousand soldiers would suffice!

He trusted Fei Xinyu’s military genius to seize this godsent opportunity.

Even without understanding the exact cause of the enemy’s turmoil, Wu Tiejun felt that giving eighty thousand troops to Fei Xinyu was more than enough.

No, it was probably too much!

And with the remaining six hundred thousand soldiers, he chose to throw them all against the Qi Army!

He intended to crush the Qi Army with the force of a mountain!

Now, to Wu Tiejun, the Yan Army no longer existed nor held any significance!

Even in the worst-case scenario—should he have misjudged and the Yan Army wasn’t truly in disarray, if it was all a ruse or trap that even Fei Xinyu fell into—

In Wu Tiejun’s mind, he would still ignore the Yan Army, as if it didn’t exist!

Even if Fei Xinyu’s entire force was annihilated, he would not send backup. In this battle, he had to squash the Qi Army to be in a position to consider the aftermath.

What he trusted most about Fei Xinyu was that even if indeed Fei Xinyu became surrounded, facing the wipeout of his entire force, he could hold out with his eighty thousand soldiers until Wu Tiejun crushed the Qi Army and returned to assist.

It was undoubtedly a huge gamble, a gamble concerning the fate of three nations.

But Wu Tiejun didn’t hesitate a moment, making the decision immediately upon glimpse, with no second thoughts, allowing no debate!

Opportunities in the midst of battle are fleeting. If not seized immediately, they’re lost. Wu Tiejun didn’t want to miss this chance.
