Chapter 235: Continue the Night Attack and Wear Them Down

"I can't care about so much anymore, just charge first!"

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and rode his horse into the path first.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao and others had no choice but to follow.

"Want to run? Chase me!"

Cyrus sneered and ordered a pursuit.

However, the path was too narrow, and the Persian cavalry could not deploy their formation at all. They could only form a long line and advance slowly.

Chu Yang and his men took advantage of the terrain, continuously shooting at the pursuing Persian cavalry, and fought their way out.

"Damn you, Emperor Zhou! How could he let you get away like this?"

Cyrus was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

that's it.

Chu Yang and others ran wildly along the narrow path.

Finally, we returned to Dazhouguanguan at dawn.

"Your Highness, you are finally back!"

Seeing Chu Yang and others return safely, the soldiers guarding the border cheered.

However, Chu Yang did not show any joy at all, his face was full of fatigue and solemnity.

"Quick, go get the military doctor!"

Zhang Liao and others were also covered in wounds, especially Xing Daorong, who had a deep wound on his left arm, and his clothes and armor were dyed red with blood.

Chu Yang and others were helped into the tent, and military doctors immediately began to treat their wounds.

"Your Highness, your injuries are too severe. You need to rest immediately!"

A military doctor bandaged Chu Yang's wound and said worriedly.

"I'm fine, go check on the other brothers."

Chu Yang waved his hands, indicating that he was fine.

"Your Highness..."

The military doctor wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Chu Yang's wave of his hand.

"Okay, you go down first."

Chu Yang closed his eyes and replayed the experiences of the past few days in his mind.

This time when he went out of the pass, he originally thought that he could use the advantage of cavalry to slow down the Persian attack.

I didn't expect that the other side could gather troops in such a chaotic situation, and I almost lost my life on the battlefield.

"Persians, just wait for me. I, Chu Yang, will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He endured the pain and tried to get up, but it pulled the wound and made him gasp in pain.

"Your Highness! You should have a good rest!"

Zhang Liao, who was standing by, saw this and hurried forward to stop it.

"I am fine."

Chu Yang waved his hand, frowning, "How are the Persians doing?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the tent.

Zhang Liang lifted the curtain and walked in with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Highness, the Persians launched another general attack last night, but they were already overwhelmed and were quickly repelled by us."

Zhang Liang bowed and said with a hint of worry in his tone, "Luckily you came back today. We thought you would never come back."

Hearing this, Chu Yang pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile: "Isn't the king fine?"

"Your Highness is right."

Zhang Liang walked to the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Chu Yang, "Your Highness, please drink some water first, and then we will discuss the next plan."

Chu Yang took the cup of water and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel his throat was a little better.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Highness, although this night attack was a close call, judging from the Persian attack last night, this surprise attack was still effective. They are already exhausted."

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Are you saying that we still have to go on a night raid?"

Zhang Liang nodded, confirming his guess: "At present, this seems to be the best way. We are short of troops and it is difficult to win in a frontal battle. We can only use this method to wear down the Persian army and not let them sleep well."

Chu Yang pondered for a moment. He knew that Zhang Liang was right, but when he thought of the danger last night, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Your Highness, are you worried about another ambush?"

Zhang Liang seemed to see Chu Yang's concerns and asked with a smile.

"Sir, please understand."

Chu Yang did not hide it and frankly admitted his concerns.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We have learned our lesson this time and will never let the Persians take advantage of us again."

Zhang Liang said confidently, "I have ordered people to carefully explore the nearby terrain and found a hidden path through the natural barrier 'Thermopylae' that can lead directly to the Persian camp."

"If we attack from here, we can harass the Persian army continuously."

Chu Yang felt relieved after hearing Zhang Liang's arrangement, but he was still a little hesitant.

After all, this night attack was of great importance, and if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Your Highness, this opportunity is rare and will never come back again!"

Seeing Chu Yang still hesitating, Zhang Liang couldn't help but persuade him, "Now that the Persians are exhausted, it's the best time for us to attack. If we miss this opportunity, when they recover, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them!"

"Sir, that makes sense."

Chu Yang took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, "Okay, let's follow your plan, sir. We will go meet these Persian barbarians again tonight!"

"Okay, I wonder which general Your Highness will send this time so that I can give him instructions in advance."

Hearing this, Chu Yang smiled and said, “It’s still me!”

"what!"

Zhang Liang was shocked. He didn't expect Chu Yang to go alone. Did he forget that he had just escaped death?

"Your Highness, this is not possible. Let me go this time!"

"Yes, the most urgent thing is that you must not get into any trouble. If you hold on for a dozen days, our reinforcements will arrive."

"Let me, Old Xing, go this time. My injury is nothing!"

For a moment, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xing Daorong and others tried to dissuade him.

"Generals, you should take good care of your injuries. I am the only one who is not seriously injured in this battle. Besides, can't you take a good rest today?"

Having said that, Chu Yang closed the curtain and took a rest, no longer paying attention to the crowd.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say and decided to wait until night to try to persuade him.

That evening, night fell.

Chu Yang explained the reason for inspecting the military camp early in the morning and left the medical account.

He led an elite force of 300 men, quietly left the Great Zhou camp, and moved toward the Persian camp along the hidden path in the "Thermopylae".

along the way.

Everyone held their breath and dared not make the slightest sound, for fear of alerting the Persians.

Under the cover of night, Chu Yang and others successfully sneaked into the outskirts of the Persian camp.

"Your Highness, according to Mr. Zhang's survey, the Persian food camp is ahead."

A scout pointed to a group of tents not far away and whispered.

"it is good!"

Chu Yang's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he shouted, "Pass the order down, target the grain camp, burn it down!"

"After the fire breaks out, our troops will quickly withdraw to this place. Don't linger in the battle."

"Yes!"

The soldiers murmured in response, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

The next moment, Chu Yang and others rushed into the Persian food camp like ghosts, waving their weapons and starting to kill frantically.
