Chapter 1038: Night Attack

The coalition of six kings is discussing a surprise attack tonight.

But the people in Devil Valley were full of energy and had no intention of sleeping.

Qiao Ran also knew that those people would definitely launch a sneak attack tonight, so she took out some medicinal herbs from the space, burned them in the camp and the village, and poured some medicinal powder down, so that the refreshing effects of these medicines would keep everyone clear-headed.

She also had someone boil some hot water for everyone to drink to warm themselves up. The water was drawn from the wells in the village and the Qiao family. She did not use the water that flowed down from the stream, as she was worried that the coalition forces of the six kings would poison the water.

Sure enough, the coalition of six kings later remembered to poison the water. They found the water source, which was under the Yitiantian Cliff, and put several packets of medicine powder in the flowing water.

Unfortunately, Qiao Ran had been prepared and asked Qiao Erhe and his brothers to block the water inlet of the fish pond to prevent the poisonous water from killing all the fish in the pond.

The people in the village no longer drink water from the canal. Now every household has a well and uses groundwater pumped out by a pump, which is clean and hygienic.

Qiao Ran also poured some spiritual spring water into everyone's water and put some body-strengthening pills to dissolve in the water, so that everyone could be energetic and in good health even if they didn't sleep.

The coalition forces of the six kings were very upset when they saw that they were not poisoned.

At midnight, all the lights in the village were out, only the fire in the Zheng family army camp was still burning, and several soldiers on duty sat by the fire and chatted.

Later, a gust of wind blew from the woods, and the soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

After a few bird calls, many soldiers suddenly jumped out from the dense forests in all directions, raised their weapons and rushed towards the Zheng family army camp and Qingshui Village.

"Snapped!"

On the roofs of the village, several lights lit up again, illuminating the coalition forces that were rushing towards them.

"call out!"

A rain of arrows flew towards the coalition forces.

"what!"

The screams were endless.

After just one encounter, the coalition forces suffered casualties before they even rushed into the village.

At the Zheng family army camp, the bunkers made of the coalition forces' corpses hindered the coalition forces' speed. The Zheng family army soldiers in full armor raised their spears and swords and squatted under the bunkers, stabbing at the coalition soldiers who jumped down from the bunkers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Some of the Allied soldiers who jumped over realized that something was wrong and turned around to kill Zheng's army hiding in the bunker, but they were swept forward by the Allied soldiers who rushed up from behind. Some of them who could not stand steadily were trampled to death.

The allied soldiers who rushed forward were waiting for a rain of arrows and swords, spears and clubs from Zheng's army and the villagers of Qingshui Village.

Zheng's soldiers were well fed and watered, and with the help of spiritual spring water and body-strengthening pills, they were agile and extremely swift.

The coalition forces of the six kings had been hiding in the woods for most of the day, eating the dry food they brought with them - steamed bread and multi-grain cakes that were as cold and hard as stones, and drinking water made from ice and snow that they could grab at random. They were cold, hungry, sleepy and tired, so their movements were much slower, and they were naturally no match for Zheng's army.

However, the number of troops in the coalition of six kings was too large, and the number of casualties on both sides was increasing.

At this moment, shouts and screams suddenly came from the mountain road, and a burst of orderly footsteps shook the ground in the valley slightly.

Everyone looked towards the mountain path in astonishment, and saw a group of neatly dressed men and horses holding torches rushing towards them from the mountain path leading out of the valley.
