Chapter 277 The underworld takes action again, Chen Zhaochong's melancholy

The moon hanging high in the sky seemed to have discovered Marshal Chen's sadness. The cold moonlight cast on the lonely figure in front of the military tent below.

Chen Zhaochong, the MLM leader and brainwashing expert in the Da Yan Army, sat on a piece of bluestone with a gloomy expression. Rows of sentinels stood upright in the distance, but none of them knew that their commander was about to turn gray with worry.

Although he swore to the generals during the day that victory would definitely belong to them, Chen Zhaochong knew that this battle would probably be a disaster.

The retreat is blocked, and the path forward is even more difficult and long.

Dayu's Zhenbei Army went south, and there were at least 200,000 soldiers. Now they have run out of ammunition and food. If they continue to delay, there is no need for Dayu to attack, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command will inevitably be defeated without attack!

How could it be so easy to invade Dayu's hinterland?

"Why!"

Chen Zhaochong sighed, with a look of self-blame on his face: "This commander is a sinner of Da Yan Kingdom!"

"Why should the commander blame himself?"

"Now that things have come to this, the only option is to move forward or negotiate peace with Dayu."

A voice suddenly sounded behind Chen Zhaochong. Chen Zhaochong's expression condensed and he saw a slender, handsome-faced general wearing black armor striding up to him.

"Yu Shang?"

"The general will finally meet the commander-in-chief!"

"Okay, it's just the two of us, no need to be polite!"

Chen Zhaochong waved his hands a little tiredly. He was injured and he did not dare to move much.

"Commander, the failure of this battle is not your fault."

"Even if Master Luo Tian comes in person, he will definitely stumble here!"

"I, Da Yan, have coveted this land in the Eastern Continent for generations. Now that we finally have the opportunity to march eastward, how can we let it go so easily?"

"However, Dayu did have enough courage to dare to secretly mobilize the northern border troops!"

Yu Shang said softly: "Now we are in a dilemma. It is difficult to maintain food and grass. It is better to fight with our backs. Even if we are defeated, we will severely damage Dayu's frontier army!"

"How did you know that I, Da Yan, would definitely be defeated?"

Chen Zhaochong raised his brows and asked in reply, looking aggressively at the young general in front of him.

"Back to Commander, we have never set foot on this land east of Xuanjian Pass, and Dayu is familiar with the terrain here!"

"Besides, our army has just suffered a major defeat, and the morale of our soldiers is low."

"Our army is short of food and grass. If we cannot collect enough food and grass by the day after tomorrow at the latest, even if we penetrate into the hinterland of Dayu, we will still fail!"

Yu Shang's face also showed a touch of sadness, and she said softly: "The last general suggested that we send troops to clear the passage of Xuanjian Pass overnight to leave us a way out!"

"Can you make it?"

Chen Zhaochong spoke in a low tone, silently looking at the brightly lit camp in the distance: "The Tai'an Mountains are like a natural chasm, separating us from Dayu. Now that most of the canyon has been filled, the fire has not been completely extinguished. I want to clear a path." , easier said than done?”

"And trying to climb over these mountains is nothing more than a dream!"

As soon as Chen Zhaochong finished speaking, Yu Shang cupped his hands and said: "General, I would like to lead a team of soldiers and horses to go to the canyon to clear the road!"

"Go!"

Chen Zhaochong waved his hand and looked into the distance with his eyes. Today, they are a lonely army, but they don't know if the court has received the news.

"I have placed all my hopes on the rear army!"

"I didn't expect that the camp would be so bright in the dark night. I...that's not good!"

"fire?"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, our rear camp is on fire!"

"Quick, send someone to put out the fire!"

Chen Zhaochong endured the tearing of the wound on his chest, stood up suddenly, looked at the figures hurriedly running towards him, and said in a deep voice: "Send troops quickly to put out the fire and protect the food and grass!"

"Whoosh!"

A scream sounded, and from behind a tent in the distance, a cold light suddenly shot out, hitting Chen Zhao directly!

"Enemy attack!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Chen Zhaochong hurriedly blocked a cold arrow, but immediately after, several figures came straight towards him. Each figure was wearing a black robe, covering their face and body, like a ghost walking in the dark night!

"Protect the commander!"

Urgent shouts rang out one after another, and the soldiers around him rushed towards Chen Zhaochong with all their strength, but those men in black were so fast that they rushed in front of him in just a few breaths!

"die!"

A man in black stabbed out with a sword. Chen Zhaochong looked horrified and quickly drew his sword to block, but he was already injured, so how could he be a match for the underworld killer?

Moreover, this group of men in black are not ordinary killers, but candidates for the god Zhong Kui.

Candidate for the top job in the underworld!

With a splash of blood, Chen Zhaochong fell to the ground unwillingly. He never thought until his death that a group of killers could quietly bypass the layers of protection and kill directly in front of him!

And it’s a group of people!

"The commander is dead..."

"Enemy attack!!"

"Quickly put out the fire...come and save people!"

Noisy footsteps were mixed with roars of effort, and figures woke up from their slumber. The entire Da Yan camp was already filled with flames. Many soldiers were tired for a day and finally managed to get some sleep. At this moment, they were like dead pigs. .

"It's over..."

"Soldiers, listen to my orders!"

A silver-armored general rushed out of the camp, holding a long sword, raised it to the night sky, and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order, the whole army must assemble!"

"Beware of Dayu's attack on the camp!"

……

In the distant Dayu camp, Ning Fan sent people to call all the generals. Dian Wei, Ji Sui and others stood beside Ning Fan. Seeing the flames rising into the sky in the distance, their expressions froze!

"Did Dayan's camp catch fire?"

"How could this happen? Didn't they have enough of the fire during the day?"

"It's time to take action!"

Ning Fan showed a calm smile on his face, and looked at Ji Sui and said, "Master Ji, send troops!"

"Send troops?"

Ji Sui showed a hint of surprise on his face, and whispered, "Your Highness, General Zhongkang has led his troops to block the river mouth where the river cannot be crossed, and General Ran and the princess have also led their troops to set up an ambush!"

"We send troops now?"

"Is this a conspiracy on Dayan's side?"

"No!"

Jia Xu on the side whispered, "This is exactly what your Highness planned, Master Ji, the opportunity to defeat the enemy is tonight, quickly send someone to inform the generals, and ask them to return with their troops!"

"Tonight, wipe out Dayan's more than 100,000 troops in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

Ji Sui also nodded heavily, but he still looked puzzled in the direction of Dayan, why did the fire start for no reason?

"Qingzhi's white-robed army has not yet been dispatched. Send someone to inform the white-robed army immediately, and the entire army will charge towards Dayan Camp!"

"Yes!"

After the military order was issued, the entire Dayu camp also moved rapidly. Ning Fan and Jia Xu looked at each other, and everything was self-evident.
