"When the general arrived, the major general's elite cavalry...were all dead!"
Chen Yuxin saw the ambushed Long family army outside the valley entrance. The valley was full of corpses. He didn't know how many there were, so he could only guess that they were all dead.
"What!"
"All dead? Fifty thousand fine cavalry, those are the cavalry from Yanmen Pass!"
The generals in the hall exclaimed one after another. They felt pity and fear.
Jing Feng's cavalry is even more elite than Jing Tianlie's.
Because there have been few battles at Yufo Pass in recent years, but Yanmen Pass often fights with barbarians, and they are all elites.
Jing Tianlie's eyes were bleeding. He had been waiting for Jing Feng to lead troops to reinforce him. Who knew it would be like this.
"Jiang Lin, come here!"
Jing Tianlie turned around and entered the room in the backyard.
Jiang Lin's body was shaken and his legs were shaking a little.
All the generals looked at Lieutenant General Jiang Lin. They knew why Jing Tianlie came to him alone, because only he knew about the order to Jing Feng to reinforce Jade Buddha Pass.
Long Chen ambushed him halfway, which meant that the news was leaked, and there was only one suspect for the traitor.
Jiang Lin clenched his fists unconsciously, and his legs were as if they were filled with lead and could not move.
After trying his best, Jiang Lin pulled up his legs and walked into the backyard, walked into the room step by step, and closed the door.
"Tell me, how did Long Chengen know?"
Jing Tianlie turned his back to Jiang Lin and spoke in a low voice.
Jiang Lin knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed: "General, I have been with you for 31 years!"
Jiang Lin was very familiar with this tone of voice. It was a prelude to killing people.
Jing Tianlie turned around, looked at Jiang Lin who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Yes, it's been 31 years, why?"
Jiang Lin kowtowed and cried: "General, why should I betray you? Long Chengen has only been around for 3 years, and the last general has been with you for 31 years! He has been in front of and behind the horse, through life and death. The general knows the loyalty of the last general."
Jing Tianlie sighed and said: "I know, that's why I let you do the most confidential things, but now?"
Jiang Lin cried and cried: "I don't know what's going on. The Major General's reinforcement of Jade Buddha Pass has always been sent by flying eagles. I don't know what went wrong."
Jing Tianlie looked at Jiang Lin with hesitation in his cold eyes.
He had murderous intentions, but he couldn't bear it, or rather he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't reconcile himself to the fact that a deputy general who had been following him for 31 years would betray him because of Long Chen!
"Get up..."
Jing Tianlie let out a long sigh.
Jiang Lin narrowly escaped death, climbed up tremblingly, and stood with his head bowed.
Jing Tianlie sighed: "Long Chengen is full of tricks. There is no absolute confidentiality in this world. Something must have gone wrong, but it's definitely not you!"
Jiang Lin bowed movedly: "Thank you, General, for your trust! The general will definitely investigate!"
Jing Tianlie left the room and returned to the main hall. All the generals looked bad and no one dared to speak.
Jiang Lin came out from behind with a look of fear on his face.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Jiang Lin coming out. They thought Jiang Lin was dead, but they didn't expect he was still alive.
"Come here and give Long Chengen a letter of challenge. The decisive battle will be tomorrow!"
Jing Tianlie shouted coldly.
Jiang Lin immediately brought a pen and ink, and Jing Tianlie wrote a few words: Tomorrow at noon, the decisive battle at the east gate!
"Send it over immediately!"
Jiang Lin immediately arranged for an envoy to issue a letter of challenge.
The reinforcements we were waiting for are gone, and there is no point in wasting any more. Long Chen is full of tricks, and the longer he waits, the more variables there will be. Jing Tianlie cuts through the mess quickly and simply decides to fight tomorrow.
The officers and soldiers in Guanzhong received general orders and were all ready to go to war tomorrow.
....
Outside the customs.
Dugu Jiali and the others led the 60,000 Long family troops back to the camp, and everyone was overjoyed.
In addition to ordnance and equipment, there were thousands of horses. These horses escaped and were not killed by random arrows. There were also tens of thousands of horses that were shot dead. Dugu Jiali only brought back some of them. The people around her heard that
He said there was horse meat and took the rest away.
Although horse meat is not delicious, it is still meat. The military camp immediately boiled a pot of water and began to cook the meat.
"Sir, how is Tingting?"
Wu Xiangyun rushed over on horseback and asked eagerly.
"As long as the wound heals well, it should be fine."
Long Chen had just looked at the wound and found that he had lost too much blood and his heart veins were not damaged.
Wu Xiangyun entered the tent to check.
Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu came over and asked about Bai Tingting's condition. Long Chen said that the injury was not fatal and she needed to recuperate.
"My lord, my bet was right. The 30,000 cavalrymen did not receive the notice and also broke into the Wind Valley. We killed more than 20,000 people and some of the cavalrymen in the rear group escaped."
Dugu Jiali reported on the second wave of ambush just now.
The remaining 30,000 cavalry arrived as scheduled, and they rushed into the Wind Valley. Dugu Jiali wanted to wait for them all to enter the ambush circle, but the front team discovered a problem, and Dugu Jiali took action in advance, and the cavalry from the rear team did not enter the Wind Valley.
, turned around and ran away.
"It doesn't matter. There are too few cavalry left to be successful. Jingfeng's elite cavalry was destroyed."
"You ask the people in the military camp to go back and give them one tael of silver each, military uniforms for them to spend the winter, and two pounds of horse meat for each person."
Dugu Jiali will do it immediately.
Long Chen entered the tent, with two female soldiers guarding the side. Wu Xiangyun looked at Bai Tingting distressedly.
"Don't worry, I think I'll wake up tomorrow."
Long Chen comforted Wu Xiangyun.
"I want to dig out Jingfeng's heart!"
Wu Xiangyun felt his teeth itch with hatred.
Outside the tent, Wu Jian reported: "Sir, Jing Tianlie's envoy has come to declare a war!"
Long Chen immediately stood up, walked out of the tent, and saw an armored soldier holding a letter high in his hand and raising his head proudly, looking arrogant to everyone.
Long Chen walked over, followed by Zhang Qian, Wu Jian, and a group of generals.
"By the order of the general, I am here to declare a battle! Long Chengen, do you dare to accept the battle?"
The soldier's voice was loud and powerful, but if you listen carefully, you can see that his voice was a little trembling. This soldier was as calm as a dog on the surface, but in fact he was panicking on the inside.
Long Chen sneered coldly and said: "I will challenge you outside the customs for several days. You Jingtianlie can't get out by yourself, why do you come to ask me?"
Wu Jian stepped forward and took the letter of challenge. Long Chen tore it open and read it. He sneered and said, "If you want to fight, then fight!"
The soldier shouted: "Long Chengen will die tomorrow!"
hiss...
Long Chen felt that this soldier was acting a bit too much.
You're just sending a gauntlet, why are you talking so much?
"Old Wu, kill him!"
Wu Jian was stunned and advised: "Sir, it is against the rules for the two countries to not kill the envoy during the war."
Longcheng sneered and said: "They are rebels, and I will kill them to show my power!"
The soldier was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop and begged: "Master Long, please have mercy on me. I'm just here to deliver a message. Please have mercy on me..."
The soldiers next to him laughed heartily: "I thought you were a bit brave, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool!"
Long Chen was also happy and said with a smile: "If you shout Jingtianlie three times, I will spare you."
The soldier was afraid of Long Chen and Jing Tianlie, so he begged, "Sir, you can't say this."
Long Chen smiled and said: "That's it, go back!"
The soldier got up to leave, but Long Chen shouted: "Let you get out!"
The soldiers immediately got down on the ground and rolled out of the military camp, causing a burst of laughter.
