“Are we using the tanks?”
“Yes…”
“It’s best to fire a few cannons on the enemy’s retreating path and completely crush the enemy’s fighting spirit…”
“Alright, you make the arrangements. Don’t make any noise!”
Zhao Yu’s side was busy preparing, while the Han Army’s side was busy partying.
Out of the six hundred regular soldiers, more than five hundred were having fun or resting, leaving only a few dozen people scattered around to patrol the night.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu had been monitoring the Han Family’s Eldest Young Master, Han Yong De, until three in the morning before he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
“On the other side, the four hundred knights of the mercenary group were no better, all indulging in drinking and merriment, similarly going to sleep around 2 am.
Clearly, they did not take this battle seriously, believing that the six hundred regular troops of the Han family were sufficient.
As it neared five in the morning, Zhao Yu and the commander group sat opposite each other in the command vehicle.
The soldiers in the camp were divided into several groups, beginning to move out.
At such times, the value of the General of Brigade commander was truly evident.
Five minutes later, the large signal jammer was set up and activated.
Zhao Yu’s command vehicle was also affected, falling into a blackout.
However, he was not at all flustered. With the General of Brigade here, his soldiers were still doing what they were supposed to do.
“What’s going on?!”
On the abandoned town, the night watchmen suddenly realized the signal was lost.
“Is it out of power? Send someone to check if it’s a line issue…”
Just then, a shell suddenly exploded inside a room.
‘Boom!’
‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’
One after another, shells rained down from the sky, crashing directly into the camp.
“Enemy attack—!”
“Wake up!”
The sounds of shells and cries for help were incessant, waking everyone still in their sleep.
“Where’s the medic?”
“Quick, the general is in bad shape…”
“The general is dead!!”
The entire Han family army was suddenly awakened, hurriedly picking up weapons and going onto the streets, only to find everyone running around like headless flies.
“Chirp chirp chirp—!”
Many tried to use their walkie-talkies to call for help, but received no response.
“What the hell is all this noise?!” Han Yong De, hungover from the night’s indulgence, had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the commotion.
Before he could understand the situation, a burst of intense gunfire erupted.
“What’s happening?!”
“He suddenly woke up in a panic, pushing aside the woman beside him and hastily getting dressed.
Before he could leave the building, a cannon shell suddenly fell, striking the house next door and completely collapsing the single-story civilian house.
“My god…”
Han Yong De was so frightened that he wet himself, scrambling back into his room.
His few flatterers were also in a state of chaos, shouting to protect the young master.
A dozen gunmen in the building immediately came to Han Yong De’s side upon hearing the noise.
“Young master, it’s over, we’re under attack…”
“Damn, I’m not blind!”
Han Yong De, furious and embarrassed, he couldn’t believe that they were being raided.
Snatching a walkie-talkie from a soldier, he repeatedly called out but received no answer.
“Where’s the general? How did that bastard set up the defense?!”
“Young master, don’t be afraid, we have a thousand men…”
The group hid near a load-bearing column on the first floor, trembling as they watched the situation outside.
The sounds of gunfire and artillery were getting closer, coming from all directions.
In their minds, the image of the enemy continuously breaking through and more forces approaching their location began to emerge.
“What the hell is going on? Does anyone know?!”
Han Yong De initially thought the enemy might just cause a small disturbance. But now, it was clear they had launched a full-scale attack while they were asleep.
“You, go out and see what’s happening!”
He pointed at one of his men.
The man’s face was filled with panic, but he dared not refuse. He cautiously stepped out of the main gate.
He saw across the diagonal street, several soldiers in Han family military uniforms were shot and fell, while a number of unfamiliar uniformed individuals had taken over that spot.
He was greatly alarmed and ran back quickly, exclaiming, “Young Master, it’s bad! The enemy is coming…”
“Damn it!”
“Quick, retreat!”
Han Yong De immediately understood that they were defeated. At this moment, his only desire was to survive.
He yelled at the surrounding soldiers, “Hurry, inform everyone to protect me, get me home!”
Around the building, three sides of the rooftops had been breached by Zhao Yu’s men.
Under the command of their leader, these soldiers deliberately let Han Yong De go, picking off his companions one by one.
As Han Yong De watched people falling around him. He no longer cared for anything else and under the escort of a group, ran frantically towards the west.
What he didn’t know was that only three positions around his building were occupied by Zhao Yu’s men. In the outer areas, both to the east and west, it was mostly still under the control of the Han family.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu’s main force was still on the outskirts, launching long-range artillery attacks on the abandoned town.
The soldiers in these three positions were elite special forces sent by Zhao Yu, not many in number, just about a hundred.
That was enough to create the illusion that the entire eastern part of the town had been captured.
As Han Yong De ran, he grabbed the disordered soldiers, urging them to escort him away.
His sycophants followed suit, shouting and calling to the elite soldiers around.
The elite soldiers on the west side no longer concerned with fighting, joined the group protecting Han Yong De..
