Chapter 54: Successful Plan

Sure enough.

On the wall of the stockade, there was a sentry every three steps, a guard every ten steps, and a squad of soldiers patrolling with torches.

To be frank.

The commander of the White Lotus Sect was very wary of night attacks.

However.

Lin Chen's eyes did not show any fluctuations, as if this was all within his expectations.

"Lord Lin, the White Lotus thieves are alert."

Mu Guiying's implication was to persuade Lin Chen not to take risks.

Even if it was a big victory during the day.

The White Lotus Sect still had 30,000 or 40,000 troops, so they had to make long-term plans.

Hearing this, Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at Mu Guiying, smiling and saying, "So, Deputy General Mu doesn't believe that I can succeed in the night attack?"

Don't believe it?

Mu Guiying looked at the heavily guarded stockade wall and shook her head immediately.

The army might not even reach the bottom of the stockade wall before being discovered by the patrolling soldiers.

Seeing Mu Guiying shaking her head like a rattle, Lin Chen became interested.

"If I succeed in the night attack, would you be willing to make a bet with me?"

Hmm?

"What bet?"

For some reason, Mu Guiying heard Lin Chen's words and asked subconsciously.

"It's inevitable that money is the stakes between you and me, so let's promise the other party a condition." Lin Chen said with a nonchalant look.

Agree to a condition?

Mu Guiying thought about it and felt that this was not a strict bet.

"Yes!" Mu Guiying nodded.

"Clap your hands to swear." Lin Chen raised his hand naturally, and after Mu Guiying hesitated for a moment, he clapped his hands.

Snap.

The hand armor collided, making a crisp sound.

And then.

Under Mu Guiying's surprised gaze, Lin Chen called Yang Zhi over and said something in his ear.

Yang Zhi heard this, his eyes widened, with an incredible look on his face.

"I'll go right away!"

Look, Yang Zhi took off his armor that was easy to make noises due to collisions, and walked towards the wall of the village in casual clothes.

It was not difficult for a second-rate warrior to go to the wall of the village under the cover of night and avoid being seen.

Seeing this scene, Mu Guiying frowned, and couldn't understand what Lin Chen was selling.

Of course.

Soon Mu Guiying knew.

It turned out that before Lin Chen built this camp, he specially placed a lot of black gunpowder under the rear wall of each camp.

He didn't need to attack the camp at all, just take the wall and open the door.

Soon.

A black shadow ran away from the wall of the village in a hurry, as if the King of Hell was behind him to take his life.

Yang Zhi's posture was naturally specially instructed by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn't want to blow up his trusted generals.

One breath, three breaths, five breaths!

Boom!!!

An earth-shaking explosion echoed in the dead night.

Mu Guiying stared at the wall of the village that suddenly exploded and was blown up into the sky in amazement.

After the fire, a huge hole appeared on the wall of the village.

As for the soldiers patrolling on the wall of the village, there was no sound.

At such a close distance, even if these soldiers were not killed by the explosion, their internal organs were shattered.

Lin Chen patted Mu Guiying on the shoulder.

"Deputy General Mu, I won this bet." Lin Chen smiled and looked back at Mu Guiying, then drew the sword from his waist.

"Kill!"

Five thousand soldiers just came back to their senses, shocked that their general could call on the thunder to help!

Could it be that their general was a god?

Thinking of this, the faces of these soldiers flashed with excitement at the same time.

"Kill!"

"Kill the thieves!"

The Holy Envoy was also awakened by the deafening explosion.

"What happened?!"

In the army tent, the Holy Envoy hurriedly asked the guards what happened.

Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?

Soon.

A guard guarding the tent came in in a panic and described the situation.

"Saint Envoy! The soldiers attacked at night!"

"What?!" The Holy Envoy looked unbelievable.

In order to prevent the soldiers from attacking at night, he arranged a lot of patrol teams on the city wall.

"Sir, the wall of the village was blown up by the thunder!"

"It's a lie to confuse the people!"

Hearing the slightly crying reply from the guards, the Holy Envoy was so angry that his cheeks trembled.

Of course.

Now is not the time to discuss this.

The Holy Envoy knew very well that he needed to arrange the soldiers in the village to resist the enemy immediately.

However, what the Holy Envoy did not expect was.

The disastrous defeat in the daytime caused the soldiers, who were already nervous, to explode under the stimulation of the explosion.

This situation was not uncommon in the ancient army.

In the past, when a camp howl occurred in an army, it might even be because of someone's nightmare scream, which could trigger a chain reaction.

What made the White Lotus army even worse was that.

The Holy Envoy was worried about the night attack, so he ordered the soldiers to sleep with their armor on and weapons in hand.

So.

Some soldiers, under pressure, drew their swords and chopped at the figures around them, with hysterical expressions.

Under this situation, the White Lotus soldiers inexplicably killed each other.

You should know that among these tens of thousands of troops, there are strangers to each other.

In addition to the soldiers who blew up the camp, there were also people who regarded their own people who were fighting as the enemy army in the night attack.

The Holy Envoy was dumbfounded.

Just look at the fighting in his own camp, the sound of fighting was deafening.

On the other hand, the court officials and soldiers who attacked at night had just rushed into the camp.

"It's over!"

The Holy Envoy suddenly softened, knowing that the current situation was no longer something he could save.

He led 60,000 elite troops of the White Lotus Sect, and 7,000 cavalrymen!

However!

All these soldiers and horses were killed in one day!

The Holy Envoy laughed bitterly.

Originally, he still disdained the imperial army.

Especially the commander of the army was a general of the Five Cities Military Department who came out of nowhere.

How could such a person compete with his disciple who studied military science?

Unexpectedly, he fell into the opponent's trap.

Knowing that even if he ran away immediately, he would die if he returned to the sect, the Holy Envoy suddenly drew his sword.

Puff!

At the same time.

The fat and thin monks also didn't know what happened, and hurried to find the Holy Envoy.

Unexpectedly.

Then they saw the Holy Envoy who drew his sword and committed suicide, and a splash of blood spurted out of his throat.

The fat and thin monks: "..."

The two looked at each other in silence and sighed.

"Brother, let's go." The fat monk said to the thin monk.

The latter nodded helplessly.

For these two second-rate warriors, it was not difficult to leave.

Similarly.

Lin Chen had led his army into the camp.

His original plan was to set fire and harass, and it would be best to burn the food and grass of the White Lotus Army.

However, Lin Chen, who had no obstacles all the way into the camp, was a little surprised.

Soon.

Lin Chen and his army looked at the White Lotus soldiers who were killing each other, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Lin Chen's eyes froze slightly.

He immediately asked Yang Zhi and other lieutenants to set fire and shout to add fuel to the chaos in front of them.

Sure enough.

The soldiers who roared in the camp became more and more crazy.

Lin Chen naturally had no intention of letting his soldiers fight to the death with these lunatics.

He just asked someone to send a message to Wei Cheng, asking him to lead the army to the second camp.

Because now.

It is a good opportunity to swallow the entire White Lotus Army!
