Chapter 31 Burning Camp and Besieging Battle, the Lord of the Underworld Appears for the First Time
The loud noise from the armory had not yet subsided.
Thick smoke already enveloped the flames.
The Yuexi Shu army camp was dyed crimson.
Chaos swept in like a tidal wave.
The Shu soldiers coughed incessantly from the smoke and fire.
His hands trembled as he gripped the weapon.
Above the city gate.
Li Hui was covered in blood.
He barely managed to steady himself by leaning on his longsword.
[Li Hui's heart was in turmoil]: The armory had been destroyed.
The undercover agents colluded with each other.
The reinforcements continued their relentless attack.
There is still no news about Dong Jue.
If we cannot stabilize our position today...
The suppression of the rebellion in southern China is about to fail at the last minute!
"What's the panic!"
Li Hui's angry shout pierced through the noise.
His voice was hoarse.
Yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Hold the city gates!"
"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without exception!"
"The hidden forces on the east side will be dealt with by General Ma."
"The western side will be handed over to Chief Meng."
"We must stop the chaos!"
Ma Zhong's eyes were already red with rage.
The spear in his hand was stained with the blood of the hidden lines.
Hearing this, he responded loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
He turned and leaped down from the city gate.
The spear swept across.
They went straight for the secret agents of the personal guards who were causing trouble.
[Ma Zhong was resolute]: Today I will risk my life.
We must also guard the city gates.
We must not allow reinforcements to enter the city.
We have failed His Majesty and General Li!
The tip of the gun pierced the air.
One of the undercover agents didn't have time to dodge.
He was stabbed in the shoulder.
He screamed and fell to the ground.
However, numerous hidden plot lines emerge.
One falls.
Two more rushed up.
Several new knife marks were added to Ma Zhong's armor.
West side of the camp.
Meng Huo was leading his tribe's soldiers in a fierce battle.
I saw the ruins of the armory.
His anger burned even brighter.
"You scoundrel! How dare you destroy my weapons!"
"Today I will grind you to dust!"
He wielded his curved sword with ferocious speed.
Each strike could cut down an undercover agent.
The tribal soldiers were inspired by this.
Shouting, they bravely charged forward.
[Meng Huo felt remorseful]: It's all my fault for being careless.
I couldn't discern the dark figure's intentions.
The weapons have now been destroyed.
The soldiers were out of weapons.
How to withstand reinforcements?
Just as he was desperately eliminating the hidden agents.
A dark figure darted out from behind the ruins.
The short knife pierced straight into his back.
Meng Huo reacted extremely quickly.
Step aside to avoid it.
A backhand slash.
Cut down the shadowy figure.
Take a closer look.
It turned out to be a spy disguised as a tribal soldier.
"That persistent, pesky scoundrel!"
Meng Huo roared angrily.
The scimitar swung again.
That undercover agent was completely eliminated.
In the open space in the center of the camp.
The haute couture has already broken free of its chains.
He held a blood-stained short stick in his hand.
They were taking advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on a lone Shu soldier.
A lowly soldier of the Shu army was caught off guard.
He hit him on the back of the head with a stick.
He collapsed to the ground on the spot.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of Gao Ding's mouth.
His eyes were filled with madness.
[Hao Chaos in his heart]: Let it be chaotic! The more chaotic, the better!
Wait for reinforcements to breach the city gates.
Li Hui and Meng Huo.
You will all die!
I will also take back Yuexi.
Be the true master of Nanzhong!
"You Shu soldiers, you wretched children, die!"
He roared.
Waving a short stick.
He rushed into the crowd.
They specifically targeted young and weak soldiers.
And at the highest point of the camp.
The mastermind behind the scheme remains standing.
The "You" token in his hand gleamed coldly in the firelight.
He looked down at the chaotic battle below.
A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips.
[The mastermind behind the scenes sneered inwardly]: Li Hui.
Even if you possess extraordinary abilities.
Today, it is also difficult to escape being attacked from both inside and outside.
As soon as Lord Sima Yi's reinforcements entered the city.
The southern region then became the domain of Cao Wei.
You and Meng Huo.
They will all become victims of my blade.
He raised his hand.
He whispered instructions to the hidden agent behind him.
"Pass on my orders."
"Speed up the hidden lines inside the city gate."
"The city gates must be opened as soon as possible."
"To receive reinforcements into the city."
"Yes, sir!"
The two undercover agents bowed and agreed.
They slipped off the platform without making a sound.
At the city gate.
The offensive of Cao Wei's reinforcements grew increasingly fierce.
The city gate was knocked so hard it was on the verge of collapse.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
Li Hui gripped his longsword tightly.
He went forward personally.
He swung his sword and killed two Cao Wei soldiers who had climbed onto the city gate.
"Soldiers! Hold the city gates at all costs! Reinforcements will surely arrive!"
He shouted loudly.
An attempt to boost morale.
But the Shu soldiers looked at the destroyed armory.
Then he looked at the dark mass of reinforcements outside the city.
Morale had already plummeted.
Despair was evident in the eyes of many.
[Li Hui's anxiety]: Where exactly is General Dong Jue?
If you don't come soon...
The city gates may really not be able to be defended!
Just then.
A scout was covered in wounds.
He staggered and rushed to the city gate.
Kneel on one knee.
hoarse voice.
"General! Good news!"
"General Dong Jue... General Dong Jue has arrived with reinforcements!"
"It's in the direction of Shilipo."
"We'll be there soon!"
A glint of light flashed in Li Hui's eyes.
My anxiety dissipated considerably.
"Very good!"
He shouted loudly.
"Listen up, soldiers!"
"General Dong Jue is leading reinforcements to arrive."
"Let's hold on a little longer."
"We will surely defeat the enemy and quell the chaos!"
Upon hearing this, the Shu soldiers...
A renewed fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.
They shouted in unison.
He wielded his weapon with increasing force.
Ma Zhong heard the news.
My spirits lifted.
With a flick of the spear.
It pierced the throat of one of the undercover agents.
He shouted loudly, "Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Eliminate all the spies and repel the enemy!"
Meng Huo also noticed the change in morale.
After slicing down one of the undercover agents with a curved blade.
He shouted at the tribal soldiers.
"Brothers, give it your all!"
"Reinforcements have arrived! We will surely win!"
But they didn't know that.
The mastermind behind the operation had already noticed the movements of Dong Jue's reinforcements.
On the high platform.
The mastermind behind the operation received a report from his undercover agent.
His expression darkened slightly.
[The mastermind behind the scenes is thinking]: Dong Jue has actually come?
It seems we can't delay any longer.
It must be done before reinforcements arrive.
Open the city gates.
Let Cao Wei's army enter the city.
He no longer hesitated.
He personally held the "You" character token.
They walked towards the city gate.
His steps were steady.
He exuded a sinister aura.
The informants along the way noticed the token in his hand.
They all bowed respectfully.
We dare not be negligent in the slightest.
Inside the city gate.
Several undercover agents are engaged in a fierce battle.
They attempted to break through the guards.
Open the city gates.
The mastermind behind the operation approached.
His tone was icy: "Useless!"
"The city gates haven't been opened for so long."
"It delayed something very important."
"You all must die!"
Several undercover agents trembled with fear.
They quickly accelerated their offensive.
It lunged at the guards.
Li Hui was on the city gate.
They noticed something unusual below.
—The man in black holding the token with the character "幽" (you).
She possesses an extraordinary temperament.
This is by no means an ordinary subplot.
[Li Hui suddenly realized]: This person is the mastermind behind the operation!
He actually took action himself!
He gripped the longsword tightly.
He was preparing to leap down from the city gate.
Kill the mastermind behind the scenes.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my back.
Li Hui turned around.
Suddenly, Gao Ding appeared on the city gate.
The short stick in his hand struck him heavily on the back.
"Li Hui! Prepare to die!"
The haute couture was filled with madness.
He raised the short stick again.
It slammed down on Li Hui's head.
Li Hui staggered forward one step.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Yet he still gripped the longsword tightly.
Prepare for a counterattack.
And below the city.
The Cao Wei reinforcements continued their fierce attack.
Inside the city gate.
The mastermind behind the operation personally oversaw the battle.
A crack had been punched into the city gate.
far away.
Dong Jue's reinforcements were approaching.
However, there is still some distance.
Li Hui gazed at Gao Ding before him.
The mastermind behind the hidden plot.
There were also Cao Wei reinforcements outside the city.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
But he doesn't know.
The mastermind behind the conspiracy is hidden in his sleeve.
There was also a secret letter hidden inside.
That was a secret order personally issued by Sima Yi.
—If we cannot take Yuexi.
He then detonated all the hidden gunpowder in the camp.
He perished along with the Shu army.
No one noticed.
Behind Dong Jue's reinforcements.
They were also followed by a small group of unidentified cavalry.
On their saddles.
It also has a small character "幽" engraved on it.
