Chapter 326

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

"Not yet!"

"But our army captured several of these objects from the fallen Da Qian soldiers, but no one dares to touch them easily."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan's brows first furrowed tightly, then she slowly spoke: "Bring it for me to see."

Chu Tianfeng said decisively, "Second Princess, this must not be done. If it injures you, or even explodes here, this battle cannot be fought!"

"And we have already seen the power of this object clearly last night; there is no need to look again."

"The most urgent task is for you, Second Princess, to decide what our army should do next!"

Once these words were out.

Chu Qingluan squinted her eyes, realizing Chu Tianfeng's subtext.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Tianfeng and the other Chu army generals looked at each other, then continued.

"Second Princess, we feel we can relax the conditions, quit while we are ahead, and negotiate with that Da Qian Empress!"

"The previous conditions are void; let us negotiate anew!"

"Scraping some benefits from Da Qian, then withdrawing from the hinterland of Da Qian, and turning to surprise attack other Da Qian counties—this is also a huge profit for our Chu Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan instantly exploded.

"Our army has suffered so many casualties, and now you want me to go negotiate with that Da Qian Empress?"

"Negotiate what? How to negotiate?"

Chu Qingluan's face was full of anger, her voice resounding through the tent.

Chu Tianfeng said in a deep voice, "Second Princess, Changancheng is too hard to crack. With that Living King of Hell there, his tricks are endless."

"Our army can hardly take it anymore."

"And yesterday's surprise attack caused our army's morale to drop. Some soldiers even believe this is divine punishment. With such morale, wanting to take Changancheng again is no different from reaching the heavens!"

"Withdrawing now is still a huge profit!"

"If we drag it out any longer, once Da Qian's reinforcements arrive, our army will be in danger!"

Chu Qingluan's gaze swept over the generals, her eyes cold.

"Are you afraid?"

"Have you been frightened by that Living Yama?"

Chu Tianfeng bit the bullet and said, "The Great Qian Living King of Hell must not be provoked. Not to mention anything else, after last night's surprise attack, whenever Great Qian harasses us at night in the future, our soldiers will be terrified and won't dare to ignore it!"

"If they don't rest well at night, they have to guard against Da Qian's surprise attacks. During the day, Da Qian has many methods, and we still don't know what this heaven-shaking sound is."

"How can this battle be fought?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan also fell silent.

A sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.

Living Yama.

It was this damn Living Yama again.

He, with his own strength, had actually blocked her Chu Kingdom's one hundred thousand-strong army, and yet Chu Qingluan herself agreed with Chu Tianfeng's words.

Morale was gone.

A frontal assault couldn't take it either!

She didn't know how many of those heaven-shaking objects that attacked the Chu army camp last night Changancheng had.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"I will think about the negotiations again. It is not yet time to retreat."

"Order the three armies to prepare for battle. First, send Chu Kuang to lead a vanguard unit to attack Changancheng!"

"Let's see our army's morale before making a decision!"

Chu Qingluan's tone was tough.

Unless the soldiers under her command were truly broken in spirit, she would never be reconciled!

As her words rang out, Chu Tianfeng and the others could not speak.

Soon.

The Great Chu vanguard unit detached from the Chu army camp and attacked Changancheng!

At the lead was a sturdy man, muscular and tall, looking like a fierce general, and the soldiers under him were all elites.

Chu Kuang looked toward the direction of Changancheng, and he also felt a bit of trepidation.

During this period, the vanguard units had been miserable, especially at the main gate of Da Qian, which was said to be guarded by that Living Yama, whose methods were endless.

But there was no choice; the military order had been issued.

Even if the Living Yama was guarding the front, he could only force himself to take on the Living Yama!

Accompanied by the horn of the Chu army's attack, Chu Kuang led the vanguard unit, rapidly approaching Changancheng.

As the distance grew closer, everything in Changancheng appeared in his eyes.

Just as Chu Kuang was about to order a fierce attack.

He suddenly froze.

In front of his line of sight, the gates of Changancheng were wide open.

About twenty commoners were sweeping the street as if no one else was around, and a large yellow dog was lying lazily outside the city gate, yawning idly.

On the walls of Changancheng, looking at it, it was completely different from the usual bustling crowd and dense flags; there wasn't a single Da Qian soldier!

There was only a youth in white, sitting on the city wall, with an ancient zither in front of him, as if he were about to play!

Immediately following.

A melodious and lingering zither sound came, like high mountains and flowing water, slowly spreading out.

Chu Kuang instantly froze.

"What is the situation?"

"The Changancheng gate is wide open, these dozens of commoners are ignoring us, focusing on sweeping the ground, there are no soldiers on the wall, only one person playing the zither?"

Chu Kuang was full of confusion, his brain experiencing a moment of lag.

The deputy general was full of excitement and urged Chu Kuang, "General, why hesitate? Quickly issue the order and take this great opportunity to kill into Changancheng!"

But Chu Kuang looked like he was facing a great enemy.

Not right!

It was one hundred percent not right!

He reached out his hand and stopped the excited deputy general.

"Wait!"

"I smell danger, very intense danger!"

"The world says that if your limbs are developed, you don't have a brain, but that definitely does not include me, Chu Kuang!"

"Last night the city walls were covered in flags, and Da Qian even killed through our camp. Why are the gates wide open today, and there isn't a single soldier on the wall?"

"Look at the commoners sweeping the street inside the gate; they are all acting as if no one is around!"

"What does all this represent?"

The deputy general also gradually wore a solemn expression, a bit panicked. "General, what does this represent?"

Cold sweat seeped from Chu Kuang's forehead, his whole body tensed.

He scanned the unusual scene before him, feeling that even the lazy yellow dog at the city gate was filled with huge danger.

"If I am not mistaken, this city, even if ten thousand people kill their way in together, is absolutely a place of certain death!"

Chu Kuang faced a great enemy, his back soaked in cold sweat. He took a deep breath and said decisively, word by word!
