The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 694 Standing on the Battlefield of Victory
As night fell, the pursuit team moved swiftly and stealthily in the stillness, their steps as light as if they were walking in the wind.

Moonlight filtered through the sparse leaves, casting shadows on the ground and illuminating their agile and determined figures.

After a tense stealth journey, they arrived at the enemy reinforcements' encampment.

"Ye Qingzhou, have you confirmed the sentry's location?"

Zhu Xiong Ying asked in a low voice in the darkness, his tone calm and decisive as he prepared to strike.

“Okay, there are three sentries in the southeast corner; that’s their weak point.”

Ye Qingzhou replied by showing Zhu Xiong Ying a hand-drawn map that precisely marked their infiltration route.

The squad moved swiftly and stealthily.

Bypassing regular patrol routes, they successfully entered the enemy camp.

Zhu Xiong Ying led a few carefully selected team members, making their way towards the command center.

The camp lights flickered, and the occasional whispers of the soldiers guarding the camp could be faintly heard.

As Ye Qingzhou approached the enemy command tent, he once again swiftly swept past, skillfully dealing with an alert soldier and defusing the impending crisis.

Zhu Xiong Ying gave her an approving look and signaled the group to continue approaching.

Without delay, they broke through the defenses of the command tent in one fell swoop and successfully captured the enemy general.

Victory was almost within reach.

Zhu Xiong Ying calmly interrogated the captured enemy general, "Tell me, what is your plan?"

The enemy general, his face showing fear, finally revealed more intelligence about the enemy's plans.

Each word was like a piece of scorching iron, clearly imprinted in Zhu Xiong Ying's mind.

"Successful!"

Zhu Xiong Ying ordered in a low voice, "Retreat immediately."

The signal was given, and Lin Qiming used his bow and arrow to clear a safe retreat path for them from a distance. The arrows streaked across the sky like meteors, awakening the murderous intent lurking in the darkness.

Under Lin Qiming's precise cover, the pursuing team successfully withdrew from the enemy camp without suffering any losses.

Holding this hard-won intelligence, they quickly returned to their own camp.

The news of victory spread like wildfire across the grasslands, quickly reaching every corner. The soldiers' spirits soared like surging waves, creating a scene of jubilation.

Around the campfire, Zhu Xiong Ying, Ye Qing Zhou, and Lin Qi Ming gathered again to discuss heroes over wine.

Ye Qingzhou took out the newly acquired intelligence and excitedly analyzed, "We can take advantage of the gaps in their defenses and launch a general offensive to crush the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop."

Zhu Xiong Ying pondered for a moment and agreed, "The early morning is a good opportunity; the enemy won't expect us to attack at this time."

As the night's hustle and bustle gradually subsided, the camp returned to tranquility, with only the occasional crackling of the campfire.

Zhu Xiong Ying, Ye Qing Zhou, and Lin Qi Ming sat together again.

The intelligence they possessed was like a spark that ignited the flames of war, leaving them no room for complacency.

“There are obvious gaps in the enemy’s rear defenses.”

Ye Qingzhou pointed to a spot on the intelligence report, his expression focused, his tone revealing barely suppressed excitement, "This time we can win without a fight."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded, her tone firm: "We'll make our move at dawn, catching them off guard."

Lin Qiming remained silent, quietly wiping his bow, occasionally glancing up at Zhu Xiong Ying to indicate that he was ready.

At dawn the next day, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, the three of them rested briefly before summoning their trusted unit leaders.

As the commander, Zhu Xiong Ying stood at the front of the troops, his figure appearing particularly resolute in the morning light.

"Everyone," Zhu Xiong Ying looked around, his gaze firm and full of power, "Our goal in this battle is to end it quickly. Without a doubt, Ye Qingzhou will be in charge of reconnaissance, Lin Qiming's archers will provide support, and I will coordinate the overall situation."

"understand!"

Ye Qingzhou responded, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Do not worry,"

Lin Qiming added, revealing a confident smile, "Any enemy that gets close will not have a chance of survival."

With the order given, the team quickly assembled and set off.

A somber atmosphere permeated the early morning air as the rising sun painted the sky a golden hue.

Under Zhu Xiong Ying's command, the troops pounced on the enemy's weak points like ferocious beasts. The sudden and fierce offensive caught the enemy off guard, and the battle line immediately fell into chaos.

The war drums thundered, the soldiers took their positions, and arrows were fired in unison.

Lin Qiming, positioned high above, tirelessly unleashed a precise rain of arrows from his bow, providing cover for his teammates as they advanced.

The enemy was completely thrown into disarray, their command was ineffective, and they could only passively take the beating.

The battle lasted for an hour, and Zhu Xiong Ying's troops broke through the defenses like a whirlwind.

With victory imminent, Ye Qingzhou stood on the high ground, his eyes surveying the battlefield.

Victory was in sight, smoke filled the battlefield, and the dawn of victory gradually enveloped Zhu Xiong Ying's troops.

However, at that moment, a sharp alarm shattered the approaching peace.

"what's the situation?"

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned and quickly turned to Ye Qing Zhou.

Ye Qingzhou immediately replied, "Emergency alert! Enemy reinforcements have appeared in the rear, which we did not detect before. We need to deal with it immediately!"

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned, but his eyes shone with calmness and decisiveness.

He quickly made a decision: "Ye Qingzhou, you lead the reconnaissance team to quickly investigate the enemy's situation and report the specific details."

"understand!"

Without hesitation, Ye Qingzhou turned around and disappeared into the dust with his scouts.

At the same time, Zhu Xiong Ying urgently summoned his troops and redeployed his positions.

He calmly and collectedly gave the order: "Lin Qiming, lead your archers to intercept enemy reinforcements and make sure the main force is not caught in a pincer attack!"

"Okay, leave it to me."

Lin Qiming's expression was solemn. He quickly led his archers to seize advantageous positions and prepare to meet the attack.

At this tense moment, Lin Qiming displayed astonishingly accurate archery skills. Under his command, the archers unleashed a barrage of arrows at the reinforcing enemy troops, forcing them to slow down their advance.

As night fell, Zhu Xiong Ying seized the opportunity, and after a moment's thought, decisively announced: "Now is the perfect time to launch a night attack. We will raid the enemy's supply lines behind their lines and completely thwart their offensive!"

With meticulous planning, the troops moved stealthily through the night like ghosts, striking the enemy's supply lines with pinpoint accuracy when the enemy was completely unprepared.

The enemy forces were immediately paralyzed and unable to continue their attack.

With the enemy reinforcements successfully thwarted, the battle situation stabilized once again.

At dawn, Zhu Xiong Ying led his tired but invigorated soldiers to stand on the victorious battlefield.

Afterwards, Zhu Xiong Ying had a discussion with Ye Qingzhou and Lin Qiming in the command tent.

They sat at the table, their faces reflecting the joy of victory and contemplation of the future.
