Chapter 185: General Gui Is Dead

Song Yanlei took out the small bamboo slip and read the words carved on it. Looking at the words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. One of the team captains noticed the change in his expression and asked, "General Song, what’s the matter?"

Song Yanlei put the bamboo slip back into the propitious pouch and said, "It’s nothing. We only have a new mission."

He looked at them and said, "Our new mission is to infiltrate into Lin Zi City and open the south gate."

Several team captains nodded, and one of them asked, "Did Advisor Jin let you know when the city gate should be opened?"

"He said that we must open the city gate when we see red smoke." Song Yanlei said calmly.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the soldiers and said, "You don’t need to ask any more questions. As long as we see red smoke coming out, we will open the south gate of Lin Zi City."

Hearing his words, all the soldiers clasped their fists and said, "This subordinate follows orders."

Song Yanlei nodded towards them, and said seriously: "Remember, no matter what happens, the city gate must be opened. We cannot fail."

Seeing his serious face, all the soldiers said in unison: "Yes, General Song."

Just when Song Yanlei and five hundred elite soldiers infiltrated into Lin Zi City, Jin Huai and Meng Sikuan were waiting for news in the commander’s tent back in their military camp. The two looked at the map and kept moving the blue and red flags whenever they received a new update from the scouts.

While they were still moving the flags on the map based on the last report, a soldier rushed into the tent and said, "Report! We just received General Song’s signal. They have infiltrated into Lin Zi City."

Jin Huai looked up at the soldier who knelt on the ground, and asked, "Where are General Ren and the others?"

Hearing his question the soldiers replied: "Right now, General Ren is retreating and Ju Shenhuan pursues him. The last signal we got from General Ren was his position near the narrow valley. General Du is trapped inside the narrow valley, and we have not heard anything from him yet. As for General Yao, he is in the middle of battle with Qi Baijun."

After hearing his report, Jin Huai said, "Very well. Keep monitoring the battle situation and report as soon as there are changes on the battlefield."

The soldier clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate follows orders."

Meng Sikuan looked at Jin Huai and said, "It seems that everything is going according to our plan."

Jin Huai nodded, looked at him and said, "General Meng, it’s time for you to lead the army to attack Lin Zi City. With General Song opening the south gate from the inside, we can save a lot of effort in capturing the city."

After finishing speaking, he moved the two blue flags on the map and said, "Thirteen hours have passed since our spies reported the first soldier killed because of the poison in Lin Zi City. Judging by the speed at which the poison spreads, at least half of the Black Qilin Army has been infected with the poison. There will not be more than five thousand soldiers left in Lin Zi City who can still fight right now."

He looked at Meng Sikuan and said, "What’s more, Qi Baijun is on the battlefield right now. With General Yao holding him back, the chance of us capturing Lin Zi City is more than eighty percent."

Meng Sikuan nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Then the defense of our military camp will be handed over to you, Advisor Jin."

Putting his hands together, Jin Huai returned his salute and said with a smile: "I will be waiting for good news from General Meng."

Before leaving the tent, Meng Sikuan said, "Then I will take my leave first."

After he left, Jin Huai took a blue flag and put it on the map. He stroked his beard and said, "I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Fifteen minutes later, Meng Sikuan led an army of twenty thousand troops and left the Shang Empire’s military camp. Standing on the high platform, Jin Huai looked at their backs for a while, then looked up at the evening sky.

Looking at the sunset, he stroked his beard and said, "The timing is just right. It seems that Heaven is also on our side."

Just as Meng Sikuan was heading towards Lin Zi City at full speed, Ren Fanyan and Ju Shenhuan had already joined the battle between Yao Zhen and Qi Baijun. With the two of them joining the battle, the situation on the battlefield has undergone subtle changes.

Inside the narrow valley, Du Yuanwei fought fiercely with Gui Hanying. After a few more moves, his sword pierced Gui Hanying’s heart, ending his life.

Du Yuanwei raised his blood-stained sword and shouted: "General Gui is dead! Surrender or die!"

The rest of the Black Qilin Army looked at Gui Hanying’s body for a moment, and then one of the captains shouted: "Whoever turns back or surrenders will be killed! Charge!"

Hearing the captain’s roar, the morale of the Black Qilin Army soared again. With the mentality of fighting to the death with their enemies, their movements are more lethal than before. Murderous aura enveloped them, and their momentum was as heavy as a mountain, pressing on the soldiers of the Shang Empire.

Seeing that Gui Hanying’s death did not affect the morale of the Black Qilin Army, Du Yuanwei held his sword and said, "Leave no one alive!"

At this point, the two armies clashed again. As time passed, the blood of the dead stained the earth red. Outside the narrow valley, Ren Fanyan finally broke free from Ju Shenhuan. He led three hundred soldiers in an attempt to open the blocked entrance to the narrow valley, while the rest of the soldiers went to support Yao Zhen.
