At Cangzhou, the moment the first group of warhorses was brought back by the soldiers, cheers erupted on the city walls.
This signaled that Lu Fei’s mission on the grasslands was going well—they had scored their first victory.
But the cheers didn’t last long. Scouts soon returned with reports: multiple cavalry forces were converging, a total of around 30,000 riders heading straight for Cangzhou.
“Your Highness, it seems what’s meant to come has come. But the nomads still haven’t realized our cavalry is behind enemy lines,” Zhan Xingchang said.
“It’s probably because Lu Fei left no survivors,” Xiao Ming guessed.
In missions like this, the number one rule was to leave no one alive. If their presence was discovered, two thousand men would be nothing more than a snack for the nomads’ massive armies.
He then turned to Chen Fu. “Prepare for battle!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Chen Fu answered at once and led the Cangzhou troops to man the trenches.
Luo Xin also called out to the artillery crew, “Everyone stay sharp! We’ve got plenty of ammo this time—fire with everything you’ve got!”
“Yes, sir!” the artillerymen shouted in unison.
According to the scouts’ reports, the nomad forces numbered around 30,000, and they didn’t even bring slave soldiers. Clearly, they thought this would be like past raids—show up, cause chaos, and halt construction on the wall.
