Chapter 124: Hu Yunlie's Order
Zi Chen didn't know why Hu Yunlie, one of the four generals of the Tang Empire, made such a hasty decision. However, when the horn of the charge was blown up, the 30,000 troops rushed to the dilapidated North Wolf City as if filled with chicken blood. There were no cloud ladders, no siege cars, and no engineering tools. The 30,000 cavalry rushed into North Wolf City directly. Yes, they rushed in directly.
This time, the one who rushed in front was not the Death Camp, but General Hu Yunlie. He was riding the Qinglin Horse very fast. When the deserted people on the city wall discovered the Iron Cavalry of the Tang people, Hu Yunlie had already rushed under the city gate. Then he raised the Fire Cloud Sword with both hands and slashed it directly. The terrifying sword energy turned into a huge sword light ten feet away, instantly shattering the strong city gate. At that moment, Zi Chen deeply sensed Hu Yunlie's strength.
I even truly understood the terrible strength of the peak martial artist. I asked myself, when facing such a knife, my only result was to be cut into pieces, which was an extremely powerful knife.
It was also the sword that broke through the city gate. Hu Yunlie rushed in without waiting for the cavalry behind him. He only heard a scream in the city. Then Hu Yunlie's personal guards rushed in, followed by the cavalry riding horses, and finally Zi Chen's death camp. When Zi Chen followed the large army into Beilang City, the battle was over. Yes, a dreamlike battle.
If it weren't for the blood and corpses on the ground, Zi Chen would have thought it was a dream, an unimaginable dream, from the moment Hu Yunlie rushed into the city gate until the end of the battle, but it lasted less than half an hour. In such a short time, all the people in the Northern Wolf City in Beilang City were killed and all.
Of course, the Tang sergeants who were guarding the Tang Dynasty had already died under the butcher's knife of the deserted people, and even the ordinary people in Beiyun City were killed or injured.
In addition to the 30,000 soldiers led by Hu Yunlie, North Wolf City almost became an empty city.
This battle was also the battle with the smallest casualty rate of death camp. Except for a few soldiers who accidentally twisted their ankles while running, no one died.
Although the suicide camp is a cannon fodder force, it is never their turn to clean the battlefield. They are all people with their heads tied to their knives. How could ordinary people offend them?
So after attacking North Wolf City, the soldiers of the Death Camp occupied an empty area and set up the camp. However, as soon as the camp was set up, a commotion occurred at the entrance of the camp. Zi Chen looked up and saw General Hu Yunlie running in on the tall green horse.
Everyone looked up at Hu Yunlie, his eyes full of fanaticism. The scene of Hu Yunlie cutting through the gate of Beilang City with a sword had been deeply imprinted into the hearts of these people. It was an extremely powerful sword, and everyone was deeply shocked by the sword.
Hu Yunlie sat so high on the Qinglin Horse, his majestic gaze coldly glanced around, and finally stayed on Zi Chen for a moment before quickly moving away. The three captains of the Death Camp had already met him.
"Get together!" Hu Yunlie had already snorted coldly before the three captains could pay their respects.
The three captains were stunned, and then quickly summoned the people from the Death Camp as ordered by General Hu Yunlie.
Even Zi Chen rushed into the queue quickly, and everyone's eyes fell on the general. I wonder why he would come in person?
"Listen, you scum, don't act like a lifeless look in front of me. If you really want to die, I will give you a chance to die now. Those who want to die will leave!" Seeing everyone's lifeless look, Hu Yunlie roared angrily.
The scene suddenly became silent. Although they had lost hope for life, no one really wanted to die.
"Since no one wants to die, then listen, I need a 300 person to perform a nearly mortal task. As long as you can complete the task and come back alive, I guarantee that you can not only clear your own crimes, but also be promoted immediately. Can anyone be willing to leave the list automatically?" The majestic eyes swept over the more than a thousand people at the scene coldly, and Hu Yunlie roared loudly.
The scene was quiet, and everyone looked at Hu Yunlie roaring loudly in shock. They had not yet come back to their senses from Hu Yunlie's arms.
Don’t want to die, but you have to perform a mortal task? What is the logic?
However, thinking about the tradition of the Death Camp, if you want to survive, you must first work hard, and many people have realized it.
But no one stood up.
Most of them were sent to the death camp because of their crimes. Although they had known their ending, they really wanted to fight to the death, but how many people had the courage to do so?
Before, it could be said that we followed the large army and advanced under the supervision of the large army. Even though we knew we would die, there were always so many people together, and perhaps there was still a possibility of survival, but now, we only need 300 people to carry out one mission.
Once the task is successfully completed, it can not only be cleared from the charges, but also be promoted. What does this mean? It shows that the task is extremely difficult, and perhaps it is really as Hu Yunlie said, it is almost bound to die.
For a moment, everyone was hesitating whether to try it.
"I do!" Zi Chen stood up without any hesitation. Perhaps it was a mortal task for others, but for him, it might not be the case. Most of the people in the Death Camp are ordinary soldiers or officers. Ordinary warriors are already considered masters among them. His current combat power can resist the great martial artists. Are you still worried about?
Besides, I did not choose to return to Chang'an, but stayed in the Death Camp. Isn't it just that I wanted to make meritorious service after I was guilty?
Now that the opportunity has come, what else do you need to hesitate about?
Who knew that there was another person standing up with Zi Chen, the boy with thick calluses on his palms. Hu Yunlie was not surprised that Zi Chen was the first to stand up. But when he saw the boy, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he didn't seem to have any such person in the Death Camp.
"Is there anyone else?" Hu Yunlie nodded slightly, and asked again.
"I'm willing..." With someone taking the lead, more people immediately stood up. In just a moment, the quota of 300 people was already full. After all, they were people from the Death Camp. Anyway, they were going to die sooner or later, so it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to take a try.
Some soldiers even felt extremely upset because they stood up a little slower.
Three captains were left to guard other members of the suicide squad. Hu Yunlie personally took these 300 soldiers with a determined desire to die and left the suicide camp and came to the city lord's mansion. This is also the best building in the entire North Wolf City.
Hu Yunlie's personal guards had been waiting there.
"Are you all ready?" Hu Yunlie said lightly.
"Yeah!" the adjutant shouted.
"You all come with me!" Hu Yunlie jumped down from his mount, handed the mount to the personal guard, and then called Zi Chen and others to enter the city lord's mansion first.
Zi Chen and others were even more curious about what kind of tasks they needed to arrange for themselves? They were all a group of people who could die at any time. Even if there was a task that was bound to die, they would rush to the death if only one order was needed?
Zi Chen and others, who were curious in their hearts, entered the city lord's mansion with the general. Zi Chen was puzzled and found that as they entered, Hu Yunlie's personal guards quickly surrounded the city lord's mansion and did not allow anyone to approach.
Under Hu Yunlie's personal leadership, they came to the backyard of the city lord's mansion. When they looked at it, they found that a huge earth pit had been dug out of the backyard. There was a long corridor under the earth pit. Hu Yunlie had already taken the lead and walked in. Several personal guards followed behind him, and then the soldiers from Zi Chen and other suicide camps. About a quarter of an hour later, Hu Yunlie led them to an underground space, which was a completely artificial underground palace.
The palace gate has been opened. When you look forward, you can find that the palace is thousands of feet long and is pitch black inside, but there seems to be a ray of white light at the end of the palace. Even with Zi Chen's eyes, you can't see clearly what the ray of white light is.
The gate of the palace was filled with torches, but the light of the torches could not shine at the end of the palace. Instead, it shone clearly at everything at the gate. Zi Chen found that more than a dozen soldiers in armor had fallen to the ground, and their bodies were covered with feather arrows. Needless to think, these were Hu Yunlie's personal soldiers, who were killed by the mechanisms in the gate in order to explore the light source thousands of feet away.
The purpose of Hu Yunlie summoning them was also clear, just to explore this extremely dark underground palace. What Zi Chen was puzzled was that North Wolf City had always been a city of the Tang Dynasty. I just didn’t know why it was broken by the deserted people today. Before that, didn’t you know about this palace?
Also, what happened before, Hu Yunlie led them to kill directly from Beiyun City, and without any stop, he directly captured Beilang City? Judging from the previous battle process, Zi Chen guessed that there were less than 1,000 soldiers left behind in Beilang City. They lost tens of thousands of people outside the city, but after entering the city, they did not leave enough soldiers to wait. What is this for?
Could it be that all this is related to this mysterious underground palace?
Looking at the faint white light source thousands of feet away, Zi Chen vaguely felt that the answer was inside.
"This is the reason why the people of Beimohuang conquered Beilang City at all costs this time. All I want you to do is to help me explore this palace. No matter what you find, it will be a great achievement!" Looking at the confused eyes of everyone, Hu Yunlie said lightly...
