Ji Zhang originally planned to help kill Yan Xi and Wu Hongying in Beiling City to break the siege of Beiling City, and asked Wu Jiangong to take action back and forth to aid Linhu City.
Ji Zhang's plan requires Long Chen to defeat the ghost fetus and at the same time sell it to Long Chen.
But after arriving at Beiling City, Ji Zhang found that Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi had arrived.
With these two people helping out, Ji Zhang doesn't need to take action.
At the end of a fight, Wu Hongying was killed by the formation, and Yan Xi fled for his life in a hurry.
When Ji Zhang saw that Yan Xi was still alive, he followed him all the way. He didn't stop Yan Xi until Yan Xi sat down and his horse was tired.
Seeing Ji Zhang, Yan Xi secretly thought something was wrong. He could feel the cold aura on Ji Zhang's body.
"Commander Yan, let me lend you my head."
Ji Zhang said with a sinister smile.
Yan Xi was so angry that he slapped his horses fiercely and charged towards Ji Zhang, stabbing Ji Zhang's vitals with the wooden sword in his hand.
When the wooden sword struck, Ji Zhang did not dodge, but fired several crossbow arrows head-on, with a short halberd in his hand.
This short halberd is also made of sacred wood and is inlaid with magic stones.
Yan Xi dodged the crossbow arrows, and the wooden sword continued to stab him. Ji Zhang swung away the wooden sword and swung out a powerful blast of Qi with his left hand.
Yan Xi tried his best to fight back, but was still hit by the true energy. The horse fell to the ground, and Yan Xi fell to the ground.
Ji Zhang rode his horse and trampled him over. Yan Xi's body rolled over quickly. Ji Zhang shot a few more arrows, and the short halberd hit Yan Xi's heart with the help of the horse's impact.
Yan Xi raised the wooden sword, Ji Zhang exerted his strength, the wooden sword was knocked away, and the short halberd pierced Yan Xi's heart.
A burning pain spread throughout his body, and Yan Xi screamed.
Ji Zhang immediately pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and cut off Yan Xi's head before he was still burning.
Lifting his head, Ji Zhang saw his body smoking and catching fire, put away his halberd, and walked slowly towards Linhu City.
...
Outside Xianhe City.
A spy lowered his body and slowly walked back into the woods. Xu Feng was waiting for news from the spy.
"General, Xianhe City is undefended and there are no soldiers on the city."
Xu Feng's black armored army arrived at Xianhe City. Although he knew that there were no soldiers defending the city, Xu Feng still sent spies to inquire about the situation just to be on the safe side. Bayi Chinese Website
"There are no soldiers in the city?"
Xu Feng felt a little surprised.
It is understandable to say that there are no defenders in the city, or that there is no defense in the city, but it is abnormal to have no soldiers.
During the war, Xianhe City should be guarded by a small number of soldiers.
"Indeed, there are only some braziers in the city. It seems that they have been burning for some time, and some of the braziers have been extinguished."
The spies will report the detailed situation.
Xu Feng felt more and more suspicious, as if the people in the city knew that he was going to make a sneak attack.
"Has your whereabouts been exposed?"
Xu Feng suspected that Long Chen already knew about his actions.
The general beside him did not dare to say anything. Xuan Jizi was a little impatient and said: "No matter whether there are defenses in the city or not, the army has arrived. Do we need to retreat?"
Xuanjizi felt that he was going to attack the city anyway, and it didn't matter whether he knew or not.
This makes sense, Xu Feng no longer hesitated, stood up and said: "Attack the city!"
The horn sounded, and the soldiers lurking in the mountains and forests immediately rushed out and charged towards Xianhe City.
Xu Feng rode in front, and the soldiers violently attacked the city gate.
The strange thing is that there is really no movement in the city, like an empty city.
The city gate was quickly opened, and the soldiers rushed in and found that the city was quiet and there was no one.
"General, this is an empty city."
The general under his command said in surprise.
Xu Feng looked at the empty city and thought something was wrong in his heart.
His whereabouts were indeed exposed, and Long Chen withdrew from Xianhe City as early as possible.
In this way, his actions have been controlled.
If that's the case, why didn't Long Chen set an ambush in advance?
Xu Feng was confused, but Xuan Jizi was very happy and said: "General Xu conquered the important town without spending a single soldier. It is a great achievement."
Xu Feng was not in the mood to listen to flattery and said suspiciously: "Long Chen deliberately abandoned Xianhe City even though he knew I was going to attack the city. What did he want to do?"
Xuan Jizi said: "Don't think too much. Long Chen's troops are limited. The Holy Son is leading troops to attack Linhu City. If he divides his troops to defend, he will definitely lose."
"I don't think there's any reason. It's just that we don't have enough troops and we have to give up."
"By occupying Xianhe City, we will cut off Long Chen's return route. Once Beiling City is conquered, Linhu City will be a dead end, and the Long family's army can kill them all."
Xuanjizi made a wishful thinking.
Xu Feng agreed with Xuanjizi's statement that Linhu City is bounded by Xianhe City to the west, Beiling City to the north, Zhongwu City to the south, and Qingren County to the east.
In terms of location, once Beiling City is breached, Linhu City will be an isolated city.
When the soldiers and horses from all sides gather under the city, all the Long family troops will die in Linhu City.
"Immediately take over the city defense and let me guard Xianhe City firmly."
Xu Feng ordered the generals to immediately take over Xianhe City, and at the same time strengthen the defense, intending to garrison the army for a long time.
The Black Armored Army was very happy to occupy the city easily, but the doubts in Xu Feng's heart were still there.
After thinking about it, Xu Feng immediately wrote a battle report to Gui Ti and sent someone to Linhu City overnight.
...
When Beiling City was fighting, Linhu City had just finished a day's fighting.
The ghost fetus was pushed forward by making a mountain of soil. Long Chen let the crossbowmen shoot at random, and at the same time fired cans of kerosene to burn them.
Many Nanliang soldiers died, but the piles of earth continued, and the bodies were buried under the soil. A small mountain of earth had been piled up in the northeast, and the moat was almost half filled.
At this rate, it only takes three days for the ghost fetus to be pushed to the bottom of the city.
On the city wall, Han Ziping was worried, and Tang Heizi said: "It will be good if there is another heavy rain, and all these mountains of earth will be washed away."
Han Ziping raised his head, glanced at the sparse stars, and said, "The rainy season has passed, and there will be very little rain later."
Tang Heizi said: "If this happens again tomorrow, I will lead my troops and rush out to fight."
Han Ziping said: "Don't be reckless."
Tang Heizi said unhappily: "It's better to be reckless than to be blocked step by step."
Han Ziping said: "King Wu must have made arrangements, we just obey his orders."
No matter how difficult it is to occupy, Long Chen can always come up with a good way to break the situation. Han Ziping absolutely believes in Long Chen.
Just as he was talking, a soldier came over and said: "King Wu invites two generals to discuss matters."
Han Ziping said happily: "What did I say? Let's go."
The two of them ran all the way into Long Chen's room. The Empress, Yingfeng, Ye Chang, and Luo Qiwei were already inside.
"Your Majesty, King Wu."
The two sat down happily.
Long Chen said: "Everyone is here, I'll start talking."
"Everyone has seen the siege and defense battles in the past two days. Guitai is determined to push forward step by step."
"If we allow the ghost fetus to move forward, and when the moat is filled in and the mountains of earth pile up outside the city, we will be forced into a melee, which is not good for us."
Long Chen analyzed the current situation and everyone felt that the situation was not good.
"However, all this is within my expectation, so you don't have to worry."
"If my guess is correct, the battle in Beiling City should be over tonight, and both Yan Xi and Wu Hongying have been beheaded."
After Long Chen finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise.
