Chapter 302 Surprise Attack

Night fell over the vast Central Plains, but the Jin army camp was brightly lit.

Li Cunxu sat with Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, Qiu Langyu, and Zhao Wanqing, discussing their battle plan against Liang Jun.

The modern artillery technology that Qiu Ziyue brought excited everyone, but they also realized that it must be used with caution to ensure unexpected results.

"We must use the mobility and offensive capabilities of our cavalry to create a threat to the Liang army."

Li Cunxu said in a deep voice, "First, we need to lure the Liang soldiers out of the city, and then surround and annihilate them in open areas."

"I suggest we take the initiative to retreat, so that Liang Jun will have the desire to pursue."

Qiu Langyu added, "Once they come out in full force, we will seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the plan gradually took shape.

The following morning, the Jin army began to implement the plan in an orderly manner.

Li Cunxu led an elite cavalry force and deliberately feigned weakness outside Liangjun City, making it appear as if he was about to retreat.

Upon seeing this, Liang's commander-in-chief, Wang Jingren, indeed fell for the trap, believing that the Jin army was no match for him. He then ordered his entire army to attack, attempting to annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Qiu Ziyue wore a light suit of armor, her eyes radiating determination and confidence. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, fluttering in the wind, making her appear heroic and spirited.

He rode atop a tall black horse, clad in silver armor, wielding a long spear, exuding an imposing aura. His eyes were sharp, seemingly able to pierce through the enemy's defenses.

Leng Feng's face was stern, and he wielded two swords with agile and swift movements. Each swing of his sword brought forth a flash of cold light, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

Qiu Langyu wore a light archery vest and carried a longbow, his arrows ready to be released at any moment. His eyesight was as sharp as a hawk's, and he could always find the best shooting point on the battlefield.

Zhao Wanqing, dressed in a red battle robe and wielding a long sword, moved with a flurry of red shadows. Her smile held a hint of stubbornness and determination.

As the Liang army gradually moved away from the city, the Jin army's traps were quietly laid.

When the Liang army had fully entered the designated battlefield, the Jin army quickly adjusted its formation, forming a pincer attack from both sides.

At Li Cunxu's command, the cavalry charged towards the Liang army like tigers. Zhou Dewei and Li Siyuan led their troops to attack from both sides, advancing with great fanfare and overwhelming momentum.

At the same time, the modern artillery under Qiu Ziyue's command also began a fierce bombardment.

"ignition!"

At Qiu Ziyue's command, deafening cannon fire ripped through the sky.

The artillery shells whistled towards Liang Jun's position, exploding instantly, filling the air with smoke and dust.

The Liang soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack and their formation was thrown into chaos.

"Keep firing!"

Qiu Ziyue calmly directed the operation, constantly adjusting the angle of the artillery to ensure that every shell hit its target.

Modern artillery is far more powerful than ancient weapons, and each explosion takes away the lives of a large number of enemy soldiers.

At this critical moment, Li Cunzhang's cavalry battalion also arrived on the battlefield and joined the battle.

The Jin cavalry swept through the Liang army's defenses like a surging tide.

The Liang soldiers abandoned their armor and weapons and fled in all directions, suffering heavy casualties.

After a fierce battle, Liang Jun was ultimately powerless to turn the tide.

Countless Liang soldiers then removed their armor and abandoned their weapons, which piled up like mountains.

Liang's elite troops were almost entirely wiped out. From Yehe to Baixiang, zombies littered the land. Liang's generals Wang Jingren, Han Qing, and Li Si'an escaped with only a few dozen cavalrymen.

When the Jin army caught up with the Liang army at Baixiang, the remaining Liang troops had already abandoned their camp, leaving behind food, weapons, and valuables. Jin general Li Siyuan pursued them all the way to Xingzhou, causing a stir in Hebei.

In this battle, more than 20,000 Liang soldiers were annihilated, more than 3,000 warhorses were captured, 70,000 weapons and armor were seized, and more than 200 Liang generals were captured.

This battle caused the Liang army to lose control of Hebei. After that, Zhu Quanzhong would turn pale at the mere mention of the Jin army.

As night fell, the camp was brightly lit, and laughter echoed in the air.

News of the Jin army's great victory over the Liang army spread throughout the camp, and the soldiers celebrated this great victory.

Li Cunxu stood in the main seat, a victorious smile on his face. He looked around, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

"Tonight is our shared glory!"

Li Cunxu raised his wine cup high and said loudly,

"Thank you to every soldier for their hard work and dedication. Let's raise a glass together and toast to this victory!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their cheers echoing through the night sky.

Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, Qiu Langyu, and Zhao Wanqing also sat together, sharing their joy.

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, but felt a little uneasy. She knew that although the war had been won, the crisis was not completely over.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Cunxu stood up and looked at Qiu Ziyue with a determined gaze.

"Miss Qiu, you have made great contributions in this battle. Would you be willing to serve as General Zhenwei?"

He said it solemnly.

The people around immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Qiu Ziyue.

She paused for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"I am grateful for the King of Jin's kind offer, but I do not believe I am suitable for this position. I only wish to contribute to the Jin army and do not aspire to a high rank."

Li Cunxu frowned, clearly somewhat surprised.

"Why are you so humble? Everyone has seen your talent and courage; you are truly deserving of this position."

Qiu Ziyue explained softly:

“Your Majesty, I know my mission is to help the Jin army achieve victory. If I complete the mission, I would like to return home with my husband. I hope you can understand my feelings.”

Qiu Ziyue glanced at Qi Yuxuan beside her.

Qi Yuxuan understood immediately and stood up:

“Prince Jin, my wife has no great ambitions. She only wishes to return to our hometown with me as soon as possible and grow old together in love. Please grant her your request, Prince Jin.”

Li Cunxu remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Alright, since you insist, I respect your choice."

"This humble woman does not seek high office or great wealth; please bestow the prestigious title of Great General Zhenwei upon General Zhou Dewei, for he is the most suitable candidate."

“Okay,” Li Cunxu replied.

"Your Highness, I have another request," Qiu Ziyue said solemnly.

"Please speak, Miss Qiu."

Although Li Cunxu had a deep friendship with Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and others, he was still very reserved in front of civil and military officials.

"This humble woman only asks that the Prince of Jin can further stabilize the situation in Hedong, appoint virtuous and talented people, punish corrupt officials, reduce taxes and lenient punishments, and bring great order to Hedong," Qiu Ziyue said.

“Miss Qiu speaks very well; this is exactly what I’ve been looking for,” Li Cunxu said with a smile.

Just as everyone was immersed in the celebration again, an unusual atmosphere quietly spread.

Qiu Ziyue keenly sensed something was amiss.

A man dressed in ordinary soldier's uniform had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

As she was adding wine to Li Cunxu's table, she suddenly pulled out a knife.

"careful!"

Qiu Ziyue suddenly shouted and shoved Li Cunxu away.

The assassin was already poised to strike, his dagger flashing out instantly, but Qiu Ziyue's movements disrupted his rhythm.

The dagger grazed Li Cunxu's shoulder and pierced the pillar behind him.

Seeing that his attack had missed, the assassin turned to flee.

Qiu Ziyue swiftly drew her longsword from her waist, took a step forward, and blocked the assassin's path.

"Where do you think you're going!"

She shouted sharply, and with a flash of sword light, the assassin fell to the ground, his dagger falling to the ground.

The surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded him and subdued the assassin.

As he twisted to resist, his helmet fell off, revealing a head of long hair.

"It was a woman!"

The soldiers were greatly alarmed!
