Chapter 68 Burning the Black Dragon

The faint blue sky was spreading in the sky, and the black dragon path in the night was complicated. The soldiers were cooking in the woods. Suddenly, fire was shining everywhere in the woods. A gust of wind blew, and a pile of flames floated out of the fire fell into the haystacks next to it and slowly burned.

(Please check the previous chapter if the plot is inconsistent)

Seeing this, the soldiers around hurriedly used branches to destroy the flames so that they would not spread.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but worry when he saw this scene. The consequences of this forest would be unimaginable. He hurriedly ordered that the fire be used when cooking, so that the forest should not be caught.

Chen Xuan found a relatively flat place in the woods and asked the soldiers to cut down the trees therein to avoid the danger of catching fire, because this place was given to Hu Baojin'an's general's tent, and its area was the size of a football field.

Hu Baojin waited for a long time before the food was delivered. He started eating it. Chen Xuan ordered the soldiers to set up the tent and walked over and said, "General Hu, the dense forest here is the most feared thing about the fire. I have cleaned up all the trees around your tent."

Hu Baojin nodded, he still had to be extra careful about his life. He was satisfied with Chen Xuan's arrangement and said, "Sit down and eat."

Chen Xuan was not polite after hearing this. He was really hungry all night. After eating some wine and food, he said, "General Hu, will the people from Panlong Pass come out to attack us?"

"Get out of Panlong Pass?" Hu Baojin laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "He only has a few thousand people, and he doesn't even get stuck in our teeth when he comes out. I hope he can come out."

Chen Xuan was still a little worried and said, "But what if he sends someone to set fire?"

Hu Baojin took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "Setting the fire? How much can it be burned? So many of us are afraid that we can't save the fire? Chen Xuan, you're thinking too much!"

Chen Xuan laughed. He had never seen this forest fire before, and he could not predict the specific situation. He had to say that so many people could save the fire, so he didn't say much and drank with Hu Baojin until Hu Baojin was drunk and went back to sleep. Chen Xuan got up and went to check the post.

There are many white tents on both sides of the Black Dragon Road. But building tents in this forest is also beneficial. Not to mention the amount of wood, tie the tent to the trees on the side, and it is easy to set it up.

It was already dark in the woods, and only white tents were spreading in the forest, with snoring everywhere. Chen Xuan carefully checked the guard posts in all directions, and confirmed that there was no problem, and then returned to the tent next to Hu Baojin.

At about three or four o'clock in the morning, Hu Jun was sleeping soundly, and only a few sentries standing guard were still walking back and forth with their energy. Suddenly, someone saw a faint fire on the high mountain in the distance. One of them asked, "Look, the mountain is on the other side, do you want to report to the general?"

Another older man looked at the fire and said, "The mountain is so far away and cannot be burned, so there is no need to report it."

However, they did not expect that this was the fire that Qian Xiaoxing ordered people to go to the mountain to set, which was also a signal of action. The independent soldiers who had long been ambushing the outside of the Hu army camp saw the fire signal, immediately ignited the oil tank in their hands and threw it towards the Hu army camp. In a short while, a round line of fire burned around the round Hu army camp, and the fire gradually became more and more fierce.

The sentry shouted: "It's on fire, it's on fire..."

Some sentries hurried back to report to Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan had no time to put on his armor and immediately got up and walked out of the tent. He saw that there was already a fire around the tent. He was stunned and immediately got into Hu Baojin's tent. Seeing Hu Baojin sleeping with the woman, he didn't care about pushing Hu Baojin immediately. He said in panic: "General Hu is not good, he is on fire, and they are all burning."

Hu Baojin was woken up by an alarm and was about to swear. When he heard this, he quickly got up and walked out of the tent. Seeing the fires rising from the sky, Hu Jun was also running around in the sky in the camp, and he couldn't help but say rushingly: "What should I do, what should I do?"

"General Hu, I think this fire must be set up by people from the State of Si. It is all around. There are so many fires that cannot be saved. I will immediately gather troops to surround me while the fire is not too big." Chen Xuan replied.

Hu Baojin shouted when he heard this: "Then go quickly!"

Chen Xuan immediately shouted loudly: "Get the troops, come here quickly!"

However, the shouts were covered by the noise everywhere and no one could hear them. The fire began to spread, and a round red line of fire gradually formed. Many Hu soldiers had already run around Hu Baojin's tent, because there were only no trees here, which was relatively safe.

Seeing this situation, Chen Xuan could not stand up if he had gathered here. He had to break through the siege while the fire was not too big. So he came to the soldiers and immediately ordered his commanders to lead their troops to protrude around.

After hearing this, several commanders of thousands of men led their soldiers to break through from four directions, up and down and left. The Hu army was in chaos along the way and had no way to command. In the direction upward, the commander of thousands of men Yu Tianzhong ordered the soldiers to repair the fire while cutting down burning trees while opening a passage. Suddenly, the soldiers rushed into the passage, and more than 3,000 people ran out.

Although these more than 3,000 people ran away from the fire circle, the fire circle did not only burn in the middle, but also began to burn out to the outer edge. Seeing this, Yu Tianzhong immediately led his soldiers to evacuate to the outer edge.

As the fire grew bigger and bigger, the three thousand people evacuated further and further away. Some people in front walked into the trap formation of the hunting group and screamed suddenly. Some saw logs falling from the sky, and immediately smashed the person's heads to bloom. Some of the bodies were penetrated by sharp wooden sticks and fell to the ground. Some of their feet were swept by a row of wooden guns. The wooden gun passed through their thighs and stuck people there. They screamed like ghosts and wolves howling. Hundreds of Hu soldiers died in the trap formation.

The soldiers behind were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. There was a fire behind the trap array in front, and it was a dilemma to advance and retreat. Yu Tianzhong saw that the fire was about to burn, and thought that instead of being burned to death by the fire, it would be better to enter the trap array and fight one, so he ordered the soldiers to explore the way with a spear.

The soldiers carefully swept the jungle in front with their spears, and cracked many traps because they didn't know where the trap was launched. The attack direction may be the direction of the attack, both front, back, left and right, and even above. Some Hu soldiers fell down after being attacked.

The fire behind him was chasing him, and Hu Jun had to speed up. Hu Jun in front was cleaning the trap. Suddenly, a spear stabbed in the darkness. The soldier's chest was penetrated. His eyes widened and his hands held the spear and fell to the ground. Hu Jun next to him was surprised when he saw this. Before he could react, he felt a chill in his neck and saw his blood spraying out from his neck. He covered his neck with his hands and fell down.

It turned out that the Hu army had entered the ambush position of the Hunting Camp. The soldiers of the Yimu clan were either ambushed in the bushes, on the trees, or behind the trees, assassinating the lonely Hu army in the dark woods.

After a while, there was no sound in the Hu army in front. The Hu army behind only saw a black shadow flashing, and then Hu army fell down, and immediately shouted: "There is someone in front!"
