An arrow flew out and hit the wolf cavalryman as he sat down on his horse.
The arrow sank into the horse's butt, and the war horse whined in pain, but it did not fall to the ground, but continued to rush forward carrying the wolf cavalry.
The captain picked up the eagle bow and fired three arrows at Long Chen.
The vulture bow is very powerful and its arrows are very fast.
Seeing the captain firing arrows, Long Chen immediately shot three arrows back.
Six arrows collided accurately in the air. The captain responded to the soldiers, turned around and rode away.
Of the thirteen wolf cavalry, only two escaped.
Long Chen reined in his horse, stopped, and left with the wolf cavalry.
When Long Chen returned to Yanmen Pass, the soldiers burst into cheers.
"General Long is good at archery."
"General Dragon is mighty!"
"This is the first time I saw a dragoon being killed so miserably."
The Yanmen Pass guard suffered heavy losses from the wolf cavalry, and Long Chen was able to relieve his anger this time.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The barbarians have nothing to be afraid of. If you shoot them with an arrow, they will die."
The fear of the soldiers was greatly reduced.
Di Lingyi was a little strange and asked: "Why didn't you kill the last two?"
Just now, Long Chen could obviously kill them all, but Long Chen didn't.
"If they come to find out what's true, someone must report it."
Long Chen deliberately let them go and asked them to go back and report the news.
"Everyone begins to prepare. I estimate that tomorrow morning will be the time for the decisive battle."
Long Chen ordered that all soldiers prepare to fight.
....
The wolf cavalry fled back to the camp in panic. The captain entered the tent, where Yeluhong and Abu Ji were sitting.
"Chanyu!"
The captain looked panicked and embarrassed.
"Baoyin, what happened? Why do you look so panicked?"
Baoyin is the name of the wolf cavalry captain, which means a good man or a powerful boy.
Baoyin replied: "There is a young general in Yanmen Pass whose archery skills are very good. He killed 11 of us!"
Yeluhong looked stern and asked: "What does it look like?"
Baoyin said: "Blue armor, very delicate, no beard..."
Before Baoyin finished speaking, Yeluhong guessed it was Long Chen.
"It doesn't matter, it's him!"
Yeluhong had fought against Long Chen and knew how powerful they were. It was normal for the wolf cavalry to be killed.
Baoyin looked at Yeluhong doubtfully, and Abuji said: "That is Long Cheng'en, the general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Baoyin's face gradually became relieved and she said, "It turns out it's him..."
Yeluhong asked: "How is the situation at Yanmen Pass?"
Baoyin replied: "There are many flags on the city, but there don't seem to be many soldiers, especially those flags. Some of them are obviously temporarily planted. They are bluffing."
The arrow shot under the city just now was meant to demonstrate, but Baoyin's more important purpose was to test whether the flag was added temporarily.
Abuji nodded slightly and said: "Chanyu, I can be sure that there are not many defenders at Yanmen Pass, and Long Chengen's coming out of the city to pursue him is just a bluff."
If there were enough troops in the city, Long Chen should show weakness and pretend that he did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
The tougher Long Chen behaves, the weaker Yanmen Pass is.
Yeluhong was overjoyed and said: "Although Jing Tianlie failed to stop Long Chengen, he greatly consumed the troops at Yanmen Pass, so he deserves to die."
During this time, Long Chen had been covering up the news about the Red Flame Army, saying only that almost all of the Red Flame Army had been killed in the battle, and the rest had been escorted back to Dazhou to farm.
"Why has there been no news from Imperial Master Kongji for so long?"
The wise man Abuji suggested that Yeluhong ask Xixia to send more experts to help.
Jingtian Lie is dead, Long Chen's martial arts skills are very high, and Abuji is worried that he can't defeat him.
Yeluhong said, "Forget it, the people sent by Kongji may not be useful. Look at Jingtianlie."
The relationship between Yeluhong and Xixia was not close.
Monk Kongji infiltrated Buddhism into the grassland, supported Yeluhong in attacking Huxie, and gained the position of king of the grassland. Yeluhong indeed owed Kongji a favor and needed Xixia's support.
But later, Yeluhong gradually took control of the grassland and no longer needed Xixia so much.
Instead, Xixia needed Yeluhong's horses to maintain its elite cavalry.
Four years ago, Nanliang and Xixia colluded and set a trap to ambush the Long family army. Yeluhong led the army to besiege and paid a heavy price.
The three prairie wolves died in battle, a large number of tribal leaders also died, and even more soldiers died.
The leaders of various ethnic groups were gradually dissatisfied with Xixia. Yeluhong also felt that he had been taken advantage of and had been working for Xixia.
This time Yeluhong gathered all the grassland tribes not only for revenge, but also to prove that he did not need Xixia.
"Chanyu, Master Kongji has great wisdom. With his help, we can win."
"I suggest sending an envoy to Xixia and asking Master Kongji for help."
Abuji slowly counted the beads in his hand, looking very pious.
Yeluhong frowned and said coldly: "Abji, you are the wise man of my Dan tribe, not the monk of Zhaoti Temple!"
Abuji is a Buddhist believer and is very pious to Monk Kongji, which makes Yeluhong very angry.
"Chanyu, I am a warrior of the Dan tribe, and I am thinking about the Dan tribe."
Abuji also noticed that Yeluhong was unhappy and hurriedly explained.
Yeluhong waved his hand and said: "We, the Prairie Wolf Clan, have hundreds of thousands of warriors, and that's not all. We are no worse than the Western Xia and Eastern Zhou Dynasties, and we don't need to obey."
Wolf Cavalry Captain Baoyin lowered his head and listened...
"Let all the ministries prepare to attack Yanmen Pass tomorrow, and then drive south. I will attack the capital of Eastern Zhou Dynasty and capture the empress alive!"
Yeluhong said with great enthusiasm.
Abuji was helpless and couldn't say anything more.
Baoyin withdrew from the tent, and all the armies prepared to attack.
....
Yanmen Pass.
Di Lingyi was sitting in the room, combing his hair in front of the bronze mirror, with clothes beside him.
During the day, Long Chen's archery skills shocked Di Ling Yi. The wolf cavalry was nothing to Di Ling Yi, but Long Chen could completely crush them with his archery skills, which was very powerful.
"He is brave, resourceful and talented. He is a peerless talent. No wonder the fourth sister is so precious."
"What a pity..."
After taking stock of all the benefits of Long Chen, one fatal flaw will always be found in the end: eunuch!
For women, the lack of bottom means that the last step cannot be achieved.
"But... our royal family doesn't marry, eunuchs are better!"
The empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty didn't get married, so naturally they princesses didn't want to get married, and they didn't need a man.
Even if Long Chen is an eunuch, it's not impossible as long as he is comfortable with it.
After thinking about this, Di Lingyi picked up his clothes, walked out of the room, walked to the backyard, and slowly entered the bathroom.
In the bathtub, Long Chen was taking a bath alone.
After arriving at Yanmen Pass, in order to maintain his image as a serious eunuch, Long Chen did not sleep with Zhang Qian and others at night, and he also took a bath alone, not with them.
Di Lingyi walked to the door and felt his heart pounding.
Growing up, she only took baths with the empress and other princesses.
Even though Long Chen was a eunuch, he looked no different from a man. This feeling was very strange.
Di Lingyi moved to the side unconsciously and hid by the door, his heart pounding.
The soles of my feet felt a little hot and numb, and I couldn't help but squeeze my clothes with both hands. My face was very hot, and my body was very hot. It felt like the first time I went to the battlefield to kill someone.
This feeling...is a bit comfortable...
Do you want to go in?
I heard that Long Chengen likes to bathe together the most. If I bathe with him, there is hope that I can recruit him.
Long Chengen is the top general in the court. If I can get him, I can surpass my fourth sister and become the candidate for crown prince.
But...what a shame!
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
When Di Lingyi was hiding by the door and struggling, Long Chen came out wearing a pair of shorts.
