The old saying goes well, the turtle in the jar is easy to catch, but if it's a giant turtle, then it's the hand that enters the jar to feed the turtle. Now, Marana's iron cavalry is like an old turtle trapped in the jar, and he is using his massive body to recklessly destroy the jar that confines him, pecking at the soup with his eagle-beak iron mouth and biting the hand that reaches into the jar...

  Zhaoyong's hands, as Tang Huo's deputy, were now being used to deploy the giant turtle-shaped formation, which was full of wounds. Although many preparations had been made in the camp, including the deployment of caltrops and other obstacles, and the loss of half of the cavalry's charging power; but that couldn't withstand the fact that there were more people on Ma Nuo's side. The vanguard cavalry dismounted and used horse corpses and human corpses as a shield wall, while the central cavalry drew their bows and nocked arrows on horseback.

  The two greatest strengths of the Northern Yuan army were their mastery of horsemanship and archery, and now the Ming soldiers besieging Muna were exposed to the Yuan army's range like live targets. Moreover, the Yuan cavalry's high ground shooting down at the enemy was extremely lethal, even heavily armored Ming soldiers could not withstand such long-range attacks.

  At this moment, the rear army was not as smooth as imagined. They took advantage of the surprise attack and formed a human wall to block the main gate of the camp. Although the Yuan army mainly wanted to approach the central tent to defeat the Ming army commander, this did not mean that Ha Mei would let Wang Bi and Cao Xing slaughter their own soldiers at will. On the contrary, they organized the rear army to fiercely resist Wang Bi's two teams.

  Ma Nai led the charge here, wanting to break through Tang He's and Zuo Shi's camps. Zhao Yong fought back desperately here, while Wang Bi and others could only do their best to kill the enemy; but the situation was that Ma Nai's side had the upper hand, if the Ming army didn't have fresh troops arriving on the battlefield then it was possible that Tang He's camp really couldn't be held.

  The entire battlefield was like a bow, and Manaqiu was an arrow on the string. Tang Huo didn't want to shoot this arrow but wanted to break it, while Manaqiu instead wanted to shatter Tang Huo's bow...

  Just as Zhao Yong was desperately resisting, Yu Tongyuan and Yu Tongyuan finally led the army to arrive. They were originally intended as a backup force to quickly eliminate the enemy who broke into the camp. Now they filled in the gap left by Zhao Yong's retreat and joined forces with the Yuan army. However, these reinforcements were not like the previous 20,000 armored soldiers; their defensive strength was weaker, and they suffered significant losses from the Northern Yuan's shooting. Nevertheless, they managed to block the Yuan army's advance, and both sides became deadlocked.

  "Dugu Lieutenant, the Grand Marshal has ordered that you and your men are to proceed immediately to the central camp to await the enemy!" The messenger delivered the order and then fled the camp like the wind, as if there was something terrifying there.

  If someone could look down from the sky at the entire Ming army camp, they would find that there were hardly any Ming army tents near the Sin Camp, but instead many defensive fortifications, which seemed to be aimed at the Sin Camp.

  But the old soldiers who have been fighting in the north for many years all know that they should not provoke the people from the penal battalion, because there are two kinds of people in the penal battalion. The first kind is those who were transferred here purely due to their crimes and are meant to be sent to their deaths. The second kind is the ones that the old soldiers truly fear, they also entered the battalion due to their crimes, but they cannot be compared to the first kind of people. They are all lunatics, perverts, many of them have already met the conditions for leaving the battalion, but they continue to stay voluntarily because of their bloodlust. Gradually, this kind of person is becoming more and more common, the slaughter on the battlefield has become the only driving force for them to live...

  It's because of the existence of these people that the Sin Camp has transformed from a death camp to a blood camp, especially when facing the Northern Yuan cavalry. Everyone in the Sin Camp is good at dealing with cavalry, and they can kill the Northern Yuan elite cavalry with just simple weapons.

  Dugu Xiang, is the only one of the eighteen camps along the Great Wall who holds the position of a Xiāo Wèi (a military officer in charge of a camp), although according to the number of people in the camps, there should be a higher-ranking official to manage them. Since the establishment of the camps by General Chang Yuchun, he had set up the position of Xiāo Wèi within the camps, with the intention of "turning merit into redemption". Now, there have been eight Xiāo Wèis in succession, and Dugu Xiang is the ninth one, who has also held this position for the longest time, a full three years...

  The most unique thing about Dugu Qiu is that he was the only officer who actively applied to be transferred to a penal camp, rather than being demoted due to guilt. This made many people at the time feel astonished and think that Dugu Qiu was self-destructive and hated his own life. However, during the second Northern Expedition of our dynasty, the 5,000 strong men in the penal camp led by the madman Dugu Qiu dared to attack tens of thousands of enemy troops. Unexpectedly, the battle result was a great defeat for the Yuan army, capturing Northern Garden Taifu Suonaerjia and Ping Zhang Guanzhe, among others, and killing tens of thousands of enemies. This was the only victorious army in the second Northern Expedition.

  If it weren't for the crime of not being able to receive a noble title as a merit, they could only attribute their merits to their direct superior, the Marquis of Yingchuan. I'm afraid that Dugu Song is now a Bo Ye; from then on, the people of the Crime Camp began to kill enemies in various border towns, slaughtering without measure, and became the most feared group among the northern nomadic people at that time.

  This also made the entire Ming army look at the second kind of people in the criminal camp, but their arbitrary killing and disobedience to discipline also made them always have a guard against the commander-in-chief.

  "Old Three, hurry up, the brothers have gathered. There's work to be done tonight. Judging from the sounds of battle ahead, there are at least 500,000 enemy troops. This is going to be a rare grand spectacle!

  His narrow face, slender eyes, thin lips, and a small mole between his eyebrows made it hard to believe that this was a man who had killed countless people. Add to that the faint smile playing on his lips, and you had Du Gu Xiong, the legendary Executioner of the Sin Camp..."

  Some people say that anyone who dares to look straight into Dugu Qiu Bai's eyes is already a dead man, and some people say that Dugu Qiu Bai's hands are the hands of Yan Wang, with all sorts of strange rumors circulating everywhere. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Dugu Qiu Bai has killed nearly a thousand people in his lifetime, and the phrase he often hangs on his lips is "killers will always be killed". No one knows who this sentence is for, maybe it's for the Yuan army who died at his hands, or maybe it's for himself. In any case, the title of Mad Butcher Dugu Qiu Bai has already spread throughout the northern border.

  Before long, the entire camp had assembled, with two groups of people standing on either side. On one side was a large crowd of death row inmates, and on the other side was the madman's camp, which always maintained a constant number of 5,000.

  Without any extra words, only the signature smile of Dugu Qiubai, he raised his hand and lightly rubbed the black mole between his eyebrows, picked up the long knife on the rack and led the way out of the camp.

  Those who are familiar with him know that when the mole is stroked, it means that Dugu Xue's killing intent has become uncontrollable, and it also means that many, many Yuan soldiers will die...
