Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1610 - 506: Coordinated Inside and Outside, Strategically Capturing Zhongyang (Part 3)

Lu Yun’s gaze turned cold and gloomy as he slipped back into the crowd.

He now at least had the strength of 25 manes; killing an ordinary Cold Resistance Level soldier with a sneak attack was naturally an easy task.

Only, just this one was still not enough!

Lu Yun twisted his head, searching within the crowd, and very soon he saw on the enemy’s flank a General and Officer whose clothes and gear were clearly of higher rank; his eyes instantly lit up.

He blended into the crowd like a viper, edging his way toward that man.

Lu Yun was nothing more than a miniature reflection of the whole.

Han Li, Zhu Baixu, along with several hundred other Cold Resistance Level cultivators, and even those 700 at the Earth-digging Realm Limit who had rushed over later, were at this moment also mixing into the crowd in their own ways, constantly looking for chances to strike at isolated Beishuo Town Defense Army soldiers.

The front had fallen, the retreat was blocked, and there were still spies hidden in the crowd, constantly reaping the lives of their own soldiers...

How could Duan Heyang not be plunged into despair at this moment?

"Brothers, turn around, scatter the crowd, and fall back to the camp!"

Even in despair, Duan Heyang still came up with a countermeasure; to keep blocking here would only lead to being completely wiped out by the Xia Army. Only by retreating back to the camp and rejoining the main force would there be any chance to keep struggling on.

Mu Longhe had brought over only ten thousand troops in total; eight thousand attacked the main gate, and at most two thousand were on this mountain path side. Letting them break in didn’t matter; as long as they could join up with the main force, there was still a chance!

As Duan Heyang gave up blocking Xiao Kangcheng and was the first to turn and charge toward the rear, in the direction of the camp, the remaining Beishuo Town Defense Army immediately followed him, all turning in unison, giving up their resistance at the mountain path entrance against the Xia Army and preparing to retreat toward the camp.

"Brothers, if you don’t rush faster, the military merit will be someone else’s!"

"The main gate army has long since broken in; if you keep dawdling, you’ll never get ennobled in this life, hurry up and charge with your old man!"

"Charge!"

.........

Hidden within the crowd, Lu Yun’s emotions were infected at this moment; he almost couldn’t stop himself from openly leading his brothers to intercept the Beishuo Town Defense Army.

Of course, no matter how fired up he was, he still held back.

It wasn’t that he feared his identity being exposed. From the moment the warehouse caught fire, Yang Qin and Yang Ping should already have had a good idea; the matter of East Ridge having problems could definitely not be concealed.

The main issue was the armor!

Among the thousand men he had brought from East Ridge, not a single one wore armor, and their identities were problematic as well. At this moment, mixed in with the panicked crowd, secretly assassinating a few people was no problem, but if they openly intervened in the battle, the Xia Army wouldn’t recognize them.

"Men of East Ridge, withdraw with me!"

With a single command from Lu Yun, he himself first pulled back toward the flank, and soon saw quite a few men in the crowd successively withdraw as well.

At the very front, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Kangcheng both, hearing the call, involuntarily turned their heads to glance at Lu Yun.

Of course, it was only that one glance.

This was no time for them to speak.

With the mountain path entrance lost, the entire Xiao Mountain Army took less than thirty breaths to completely charge into the camp.

Once inside the camp, they were even more excited.

Especially when they saw Duan Heyang’s army of more than a thousand who hadn’t run far yet and realized this was walking military merit, the soldiers all went mad, like they’d been injected with chicken blood, wildly charging forward in pursuit.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh......

Just then, several sharp gusts of air breaking through the sky suddenly came from the central area of the camp. Everyone couldn’t help but look up, only to see nearly ten streaks of white light flashing across the sky above the camp’s center.

"The bandit chief Yang Ping has been beheaded. If you still will not surrender, what are you waiting for?"

Mu Longhe’s vigorous, resonant voice came from the central area of the camp; all the Beishuo Town Defense Army soldiers, including Duan Heyang, had their expressions violently tremble.

The Xia Army’s reaction, of course, was the complete opposite.

The already fired-up Xiao Mountain Army was instantly injected with another shot of stimulant; the weapons in their hands swung even more fiercely, and the five Flag Commanders had practically planted their battle flags in front of the routing troops.

The Central Yang Camp was lost!

These six words surfaced in Duan Heyang’s mind. Looking at the more than a thousand troops following behind him, he clenched his teeth and in the end could not bear to abandon them and flee alone, but instead led them, continuing to flee deeper into the camp.

"So what if Yang Ping is dead, it’s fine. There are tens of thousands at the Earth-digging Realm in the city; the main gate garrison won’t die that quickly. We still have Cold Clearing Pills unused; even if we can’t hold, we won’t be annihilated to the last man..."
