Rebirth of the Phoenix

nightmare

On this night, the Silhouette Army's military camp did not suffer any attacks.

The entire military camp looked the same as usual.

Because the camp was closed, the Silhouette Army did not notice that on this day, more people came out of the city intermittently than usual. After they left the city, they dispersed and disappeared.

In the winter at the end of the year, the nights are long and the days are so short that it seems like we have just had lunch and it will be time for dinner soon.

It was freezing cold and it was impossible to practice outside. In the silhouette military camp, except for the soldiers on night duty, everyone got into their tents early and went to bed early.

There was no snow this night, but the howling cold wind was stronger than during the day. Even the wind lanterns hanging in the camp were extinguished, making the entire camp look darker than usual.

On such a night, even the devil would not like to come out for a carnival. However, a large number of people ran wildly in the darkness, came with the wind, and rushed towards the military camp.

They did not hide their figures, because the dark night and strong wind gave them the best cover.

Finally, they gathered at the gate of the military camp. After everyone arrived, they heard a whistle and they all rushed into the military camp like hungry beasts.

When the soldier guarding the gate finally saw them, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran quickly into the darkness, trying to escape for his life.

Originally, setting a fire was a good idea, but it had been snowing these past few days, the outer walls of the tent were wet, and there was snow on the ground, making it difficult to light a fire. Therefore, the intruders had to give up the idea of ​​setting a fire and use guns and knives to solve the problem.

As long as they kill Ye Jiu and destroy the Silhouette Army, they can get half of the Silhouette Army's property. They can take revenge and get money. That's great!

This time, they dispatched a total of more than 4,000 people, and there were also more than 5,000 elites sent by Yue Dongsheng among them. This raid will definitely severely damage the vitality of the Silhouette Army, and they will never be able to breathe again!

There was a tent in the center of the military camp that was particularly large, with lights on inside. It was Ye Jiu's residence.

In the tent, there were more than a dozen figures sitting around, seemingly having a meeting.

In fact, it is not too late now, but because it gets dark early, it gives people the feeling that the night is already very late. At this time, it is normal for the generals to not fall asleep yet.

To capture the thief first, capture the king. Ye Jiu is the leader and spiritual support of the Silhouette Army. As long as he is eliminated, the Silhouette Army, which has not been established for a long time, will be leaderless and will be like an eagle that has lost its wings. No matter how sharp its claws are, it will not be able to accomplish anything.

"Kill Ye Jiu first -" the leader pointed his knife and shouted.

The murderers swarmed toward the tent like a tide, ready to rush in and kill him.

Suddenly, the lights in the tent went out, and so did the other lights.

The lights in the entire military camp were all turned off at the same time, as if by appointment.

The entire military camp was plunged into darkness, and even the murderers could not see the same faces.

Originally, on such a dark and cold night, the lights in the military camp were the best indicators, but when there was no light at all, they were confused.

There are densely packed tents everywhere, and thousands of people are rushing in, but they can't see anything. How can they fight?

The howling wind was like a demon's roar, full of ominousness, and there seemed to be some strange sound mixed in with this roar.

They immediately knew why they felt "strange", but by the time they knew this, they were already dead.

"Ah - arrow... someone fired an arrow..."

"Get down, everyone, get down..."

Because they couldn't see, they couldn't estimate how many arrows were shooting at them. However, the sound of wailing and screaming all around proved that this was a luxurious rain of arrows!

What's even more terrible is that they acted together, and the direction of the arrow was downwind, and it was so powerful that they couldn't even block it, and it fell into a large area.

In the darkness, the criminals ran around in order to escape the arrows, causing them to collide with each other, squeeze each other, trample on each other, and cause countless injuries.

Many tents were lit with lights because of the commotion.

"Escape into the tent - kill everyone on sight -" someone shouted loudly.

The lights finally made the murderers no longer headless flies. They rushed into the nearest tent to avoid the rain of arrows and kill the silhouette army.

However, what awaited them in the tent was another nightmare.

There was no one in the tent for some reason. As soon as they poured in, the tent suddenly caught fire. Almost all the things in the tent were clothes, quilts and carpets. Once the fire caught fire, it spread instantly. So many people poured in at the same time. Unexpectedly

Mars, impossible.

They immediately wanted to run out, but the tent suddenly collapsed again, covering them.

At this time, they were really like firewood being thrown into the stove, burned by the fire, and had no way out.

This was the case for several tents. At this time, someone shouted loudly: "There is an ambush in the tent. Don't enter the tent. Retreat along the road first -"

Ambush!

They were not afraid of fighting. What they were waiting for was a bloody fight. However, looking at the firelight, half of the Silhouette Army could not be seen. They could only see that their own people were constantly hit by arrows, burned, and burned.

How to fight if they squeeze each other?

A hail of arrows came down the wind again, killing a large number of people in an instant.

By the light of the fire, they saw that on the high platform not far away, there were rows of densely packed archers, all of them fully armed, holding strong bows, standing with the wind, quickly stringing arrows, and shooting continuously.

The sky is full of arrows.

The weapons of the Silhouette Army are of high quality and quantity, including bows and arrows. When fired in the wind, these thugs armed with swords and guns have no way of resisting.

The black heads ran towards the outside of the camp, quickly escaping from the range of the archers.

After escaping into the darkness, they should be considered safe. However, they heard screams and how many more people fell down in the darkness.

"What happened?" a leader shouted loudly.

"There is a traitor in the ranks -" someone screamed.

The leader cursed and said loudly: "Light the fire immediately——"

After receiving the order, the murderers took out the fire sticks from their waists and lit them.

These torches were originally intended to be used to search for property in the army after the Silhouette Army was destroyed, but now they have become a life-saving light.

The scene was finally illuminated. However, looking around, everyone was dressed in black and masked. Where is the silhouette army? In other words, which one is the silhouette army?

The leaders were not bad-minded, and they immediately thought: Could the people from the Silhouette Army take advantage of the darkness, sneak into the team, and wait for an opportunity to kill them?

Thinking about the "death before departure" encounter just now, it can be believed that Silhouette Military has already known their actions, made complete preparations, and is waiting for them to fall into the tiger's mouth. In this way, Silhouette Military has

Isn't it just a trivial matter for people to dress up like them and take the opportunity to sneak in?

Thinking of all this, the leading group of people bit their teeth with hatred until they bled.

There were so many people, including ghost disciples and people sent by Yue Dongsheng to support them. They were all dressed in black and masked, making it impossible to identify them!

And under this situation, there is no time for them to expose everyone's true colors one by one!

What to do? All the leaders remained silent and continued to fight back to the Silhouette Army's barracks, or should they go back home first?

Turning around, there were still flames burning in the silhouette army camp, and faint screams could be heard. If they rushed in, could they have a happy fight with the silhouette army?

They don’t know how much preparations the Silhouette Army has made, how many traps there are in the Silhouette Army camp, how serious their casualties are, and how many people from the Silhouette Army are included in the existing number!

If they blindly charge into the Silhouette Army Camp again, maybe...the whole army will be wiped out!

Thinking of this, the current leader of the Ghost Sect danced the Ghost Sword in his hand and shouted: "The days are long, let's go back to the city first——"

Lighting torches, a group of people rushed to the city gate.

Those guarding the city gate tonight were all Yue Dongsheng's cronies. Those cronies did not receive Yue Dongsheng's order and did not dare to open the door. However, after several big knives were placed on their necks, they thought that the superiors had asked them not to fight with the ghost gate.

Conflicting orders, the city gates were opened.

The ghost disciples entered the city one after another and soon disappeared into the night.

It's quiet.

A group of masked men in black clothes who had not entered the city took off their masks and ran towards the Yue Family Army's barracks.

In the Yue Family Army barracks, Yue Dongsheng had not yet fallen asleep, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting for good news from Gui Sect and his cronies.

A team of more than 10,000 people left well prepared and attacked in the middle of the night. I didn't believe that the Silhouette Army could escape this time.

"General, we are back -"

There were rapid footsteps outside the door.

Yue Dongsheng ran over and opened the door. Several trusted generals, still dressed in black, came in and said with a sad look on their faces: "General, we failed..."

Although Yue Dongsheng had experienced hundreds of battles, he was in a trance at this time, not sure what he heard: "What's going on?"

Although it was difficult to say it, the general explained the situation: "We were ambushed by the Silhouette Army..."

After Yue Dongsheng finished listening, he fell into his chair and didn't speak for a long time.

Several generals did not dare to say a word.

They can lose this way, and they lose so miserably that they have nothing to say.

Finally, Yue Dongsheng waved his hand tiredly: "You guys go down and have a rest. You are not allowed to say a word about what happened tonight."

After his cronies retreated, Yue Dongsheng sighed deeply, feeling that he was really old.

He secretly negotiated with the ghost sect, joined forces with powerful forces, and attacked in the middle of the night. He did it secretly and efficiently. However, all of this was within Ye Jiu's prediction... Prediction? Maybe it was not a prediction, but Ye Jiu was by his side.

, there are people inside the ghost gate, who knows?

In short, he was once again defeated by Ye Jiu, a yellow-haired boy!

He also finally understood why Ye Jiu had come to this point in just two years, why the Tan family was so afraid, and why the emperor and the prince thought so highly of him - that person was just as rumored, very special.

Same as usual!

What to do next?

Will he give in? He sneered again and again. People who can give in will not be sent to guard Shaanxi Pass!

No one who can survive in the dangerous Shanxi Pass is a good boy or a weak boy, and he is the same!

Should we simply send out the Yue Family Army to fight against the Silhouette Army and completely annihilate it? No, there are many people in the Yue Family Army who admire and respect Ye Jiu. They may not be willing to do it. Moreover, as the imperial army, they can openly and privately

Attacking one's own people is considered rebellion or treason.
