In the middle of the night, Lin Tian had already dispatched some soldiers to scout the situation in the Wei army camp.
Meanwhile, the Wei soldiers were still reveling in their joy.
"Haha! With the help of the Chu soldiers, we will surely be able to hold off the Qin army!!"
"Exactly, although the Qin are powerful, our combined forces of Wei and Chu will surely not fear them!"
"No matter what, it's the Chu soldiers who have foresight. If they hadn't been willing to come and help us, we might have been unable to stand alone!!"
"Right! With the assistance of the Chu soldiers this time, those Qin forces might just have to retreat!!"
Many Wei soldiers fantasized that with the arrival of the Chu army, the Qin forces would have to retreat.
After all, the arrival of the Chu army meant that Chu and Wei had joined forces.
With both countries acting together, pouring all their might, stopping Qin should not be a problem.
Therefore, in the Wei soldiers' expectations, they only needed to hold on for a few more days with the Chu army, and the Qin army would likely withdraw.
Little did they know that the Chu army, whom they expected to hold on with for a few days, was actually plotting to take them down.
While most of the Wei soldiers were falling into a deep sleep, Lin Tian's actions also began.
"Have the locations of the Wei logistics department and their command tent been ascertained?"
"Great General, they have been ascertained long ago. The Wei people trusted us implicitly, and even told us the locations themselves!"
"It seems that with our help, the Wei people are indeed very happy! Since that is the case, let us help them end this battle sooner!!"
Although the Wei army was not small, and their main general was seasoned, their overall military quality was far inferior to that of the Qin army.
For instance, such a large army had entered their territory without serious investigation.
They merely assumed that the Chu soldiers who entered their borders with their army were genuine Chu soldiers.
Seeing such military quality, Lin Tian shook his head repeatedly.
But no matter what, this was a tremendous advantage for Lin Tian's army.
Therefore, Lin Tian's army began preparations early, resting their soldiers in batches to conserve their strength.
It was not until the early hours of the next day, before dawn, when the sky was still a dull gray, that Lin Tian began his operation.
He first gathered his army, and then brought out many weapons they had secretly prepared.
Such as firebombs, and the cavalry's three-piece set, and so on.
After these items were brought out and equipped, Lin Tian immediately issued his orders.
"Zhang Han!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"You will lead ten thousand troops to burn down Wei's logistics and supplies! Wherever you go, kill any enemy you encounter, and burn down any tent you see!"
"Yes, your subordinate obeys the order!!"
"Everyone else, follow me, and strike directly at the Wei main commander's tent!!"
"Yes!!"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, the soldiers knew that the time to kill enemies and achieve merit had arrived.
Therefore, after Lin Tian issued his orders, they immediately charged forward with him.
In an instant, the sound of warhorses' hooves echoed through the Wei army camp.
Such hoofbeats directly stunned many Wei soldiers.
If the hoofbeats had come from outside, they would have immediately sounded the alarm, informing everyone that the Qin army was attacking.
But the hoofbeats were coming from within their own Wei camp, leaving them completely bewildered.
Could it be that General Wang Yi had a secret operation and was secretly moving troops?
However, even if there was a secret operation, they should have been notified in advance, not left in such a state of confusion, unable to distinguish friend from foe.
In their hearts, many had already begun to blame Wang Yi.
But as the hoofbeats drew closer, the Wei soldiers were astonished.
What appeared before them were not their own Wei troops, but the Chu army who had come to 'support' them.
They had never imagined that the Chu army would deploy such a large force towards them.
Even more unexpected was that the Chu army would directly attack them in the next moment.
"Slash!!"
A long sword directly severed the head of a Wei soldier, and fresh blood spurted out.
The severed head rolled to the feet of another Wei soldier.
This turn of events finally roused the Wei soldiers.
Immediately, he let out a cry of alarm.
"This is bad, the Chu army has betrayed us, they are slaughtering our soldiers!!"
At this moment, the Wei soldiers still hadn't realized that the Chu soldiers before them were actually impostors.
They only knew that the Chu soldiers had attacked them, which filled them with hatred.
The very people who had come to help them had turned and attacked them directly.
This stark contrast also spurred the Wei soldiers to fight back with all their might.
However, it was clearly too late for them to think of resistance now.
Lin Tian, leading his army, struck first, directly killing many Wei soldiers.
At the same time, a large number of firebombs were thrown, heading straight for the Wei tents.
With a roar, fires erupted, and countless screams were heard.
"Fire! It's on fire, it's on fire!!"
"Run, run!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die here!!"
A single firebomb could burn down an entire tent.
As the fires spread, countless soldiers were awakened.
They frantically discovered that they were surrounded by flames.
Under such circumstances, without a second thought, they immediately fled outwards.
As for their armor and weapons, they completely abandoned them, covering their heads and rushing out.
Compared to escaping for their lives, those armor and weapons were not as important.
However, as soon as they fled out, they found themselves surrounded by soldiers in Chu armor charging at them.
These soldiers said nothing to them and began to slaughter them.
Without armor or weapons, these Wei soldiers were like lambs to the slaughter, completely incapable of resistance.
In an instant, bodies lay strewn on the ground.
Then, Lin Tian did not stop his advance, but continued to burn and kill as he pushed forward.
Wherever he went, there was often a sea of fire and a chorus of wails.
This continuous wailing continued all the way to the main command tent of the Wei army.
At this moment, Wang Yi, inside his tent, seemed to sense something was wrong outside. He spoke to the guards outside the door and asked:
"What is happening? Why is there such noise?"
"G-Great General, disaster has struck! The Chu army has turned against us, and they are rapidly approaching us!!"
"What??"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi was greatly alarmed. He quickly put on his armor.
Then, he walked out of the tent to look.
What met his eyes was a scene of chaos and pandemonium, filled with screams, and fires engulfing the various tents.
He even witnessed a 'Chu' soldier throw a firebomb.
This made his face change instantly.
"This is bad, they are not the Chu army at all! They are all Qin people in disguise, we have been greatly deceived!!"
