A horse galloped up the hillside. Lin Feng, the riding captain, jumped off the horse. Wu Jian and Tang Heizi immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Lin Feng, the Cavalry Commander, said: "The two sides were fighting. Just now, King Wu severely injured Kong Ji with his punch."
Tang Heizi didn't believe it and asked: "King Wu seriously injured the old bald donkey with one punch?"
Cavalry Captain Lin Feng said happily: "Yes! I saw it in the distance."
Wu Jian didn't seem surprised and said with a smile: "My master's martial arts have indeed improved."
"Brothers, be prepared. Old monk Kongji is no match. Shi Le may become angry and attack."
"If a battle breaks out at Zhenguo Temple, we will rush down and attack from behind."
Shi Le arranged 50,000 infantrymen to block the attack near Chiyan Temple, and also erected a fence in order to prevent Wu Jiance from responding.
Tang Heizi immediately ordered preparations.
...
Zhenguo Temple.
Long Chen seriously injured Kong Ji with a punch. He originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue him, but he was afraid that Kong Ji would deceive him. Plus Xin Kong and Xin Jing were nearby, Long Chen slowly approached.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu Yong immediately shot thousands of random arrows, and Long Chen had to retreat.
As a general, Long Chen cannot take risks.
An army of 400,000 was besieging them. If Long Chen accidentally fell into the trap, the situation would be in danger.
After returning to the military formation, Zhang Qian and five others came up immediately.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Zhang Qian stepped forward to check Long Chen's arm and found that the skin on the back of his hand was slightly broken, but the rest was fine.
This is a battle formation. Zhang Qian calls her "sir", not "husband".
"It's okay, only Kongji, the old bald donkey, is in trouble."
Long Chen shook off the broken back of his hand and looked at Kong Jie who was being helped back, feeling very good.
Sure enough, after breaking through the Martial Emperor's peak, even if he has not truly entered the Emperor Realm, he can still crush the Martial Emperor's cultivation level.
No wonder these people are such empresses.
Han Ziping exclaimed: "Sir, when did you become so powerful?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I have always been very good."
Bai Tingting looked at Kong Jie who was dragged back and said: "Sir, our general has won, let's take advantage of the situation and kill him."
Generally speaking, when a general wins, it is best to kill him in one go while his morale is high.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "We have few people and rely on defenses. We will not take the initiative to attack."
Long Chen chose to start the war here because he took a fancy to the fortifications built by Deshan and asked Shi Le to attack.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that the first step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the third step is to attack the army, and the third step is to attack the city.
Attacking a city is the worst option. For the defensive side, letting the enemy attack the city is the best option.
As the saying goes, "If a general is overwhelmed by his anger and ants attack him, killing a third of his soldiers, but the city is not taken out, the attack will be a disaster." As long as you defend it firmly, you can very effectively consume and kill the enemy's troops.
Wu Chuchu said: "Your Excellency is right, our greatest advantage is the defensive barrier. We cannot take the initiative and let them attack."
"If they want to fight with generals, they will fight with generals. If they want to attack with force, they will attack with force."
Wu Chuchu came from a family of military generals. He had fought against pirates in Zhenhai County and had experience in defending the city.
Bai Tingting's personality is more like a ranger, and she likes to take the initiative to attack.
Dugu Jiali looked at the hussar general Fu Yong opposite and said coldly: "That guy was hiding among the cavalry and wanted to launch a sneak attack with cold arrows. Unexpectedly, my lord knocked Kong Ji over with one punch and he didn't find the chance."
"Xixia is despicable and disrespectful!"
Long Chen said: "This battle is about the fate of the country, there are no rules."
Back then at Bailang Mountain, he fought with Xixia, so Long Chen knew what Shi Le was.
"Zhang Qian, Jiali, Chu Chu, you three are ready."
"Kong Ji was seriously injured by me. Seeing that Shi Le is no match for a single fight, he will definitely form a siege. You don't have to go into battle first, and then take action suddenly after seeing the right moment!"
Shi Le didn't know about the fact that Zhang Qian and the others had broken through Emperor Wu's cultivation level.
Shi Le thought that the Long family army only had one master, Long Chen, so siege would be the best option.
Long Chen took advantage of the situation and asked Zhang Qian and the others to hide first, then look for the opportunity before making a sneak attack. They would definitely succeed.
Zhang Qian said worriedly: "But sir, how can you resist them alone?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, I also want to know what my strength is."
Back then in Linjiang City, the empress single-handedly challenged six father and son members of the Long family.
Long Chen wanted to know how many he could handle.
Han Ziping looked at Long Chen in astonishment.
Bai Tingting said: "Sir, what about me and Xiangyun?"
Long Chen said: "You guys... follow them, pay attention to safety, don't force yourself."
When the time comes, Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun will definitely take action. It's useless for Long Chen to say it, so he might as well let them go together.
Moreover, fighting against the masters of the Martial Emperor will be beneficial to their breakthroughs in cultivation.
"good!"
Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun were overjoyed. They thought they were being disliked.
Long Chen said to Han Ziping: "We are fighting generals in front of the battle. You and Ye Chang command the army well and be careful to take advantage of the chaos to make a sneak attack!"
Han Ziping bowed and said: "The last general takes command!"
The messenger immediately sent an order to Ye Chang.
There was a commotion among the soldiers on the opposite side. Shi Le rode out of the battle, followed by five men. The hussar general Fu Yong had a hard skill hanging on his horse. He pointed at Long Chen and cursed: "Eunuch Long Cheng'en, my king ordered you to come out and die!"
Upon seeing this, Long Chen held a spear and rode a black horse, and slowly walked out of the formation.
Ten meters away, Long Chen reined in the reins and looked at the other side.
Shi Le is in the middle, monk Kongji and Shi Haoran are on both sides, Xinkong and Xinjing are on one side of Kongji, and Hussar General Fu Yong is on one side of Shi Haoran.
Six people in total!
Dong dong dong...
War drums were beaten on both sides, and the sound of the drums hit the hearts of all the soldiers. Everyone knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.
"When you see my king, you still don't pay homage!"
Fu Yong pointed at Long Chen and shouted angrily.
Long Chen laughed: "How dare you be so rude when you see me!"
Shi Le is a king and Long Chen is also a king, with the same rank.
This is what Long Chen is puzzled about, why Shi Le wants to lower his status and only call himself the king, not the emperor.
Fu Yong became furious and cursed: "My king is a king appointed by the Martial Saint. Who are you? You are just a prince conferred by the Empress. How dare you be equal to my king!"
Long Chen was not angry, but felt clear in his heart.
Fu Yong solved Long Chen's doubts and declared the Western Xia king, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Southern Liang emperor. This was decided by the Martial Saint King Yukun.
"Shi Le, are you going to come out and scold me? Or are you going to fight with me?"
Long Chen ignored Fu Yong. This man was just a hussar general and there was no need to pay attention to him.
Shi Le stared at Long Chen, looking carefully from head to toe, and didn't find anything special, except that it looked better.
Shi Le looked at Long Chen coldly, and said with a smile: "Long Chengen, I know that you are powerful, so I will fight you in front of the battle today!"
Long Chen laughed loudly and said: "Are six people fighting with me? Are you so shameless?"
Shi Le smiled calmly and said: "There is no way, you are so powerful, I can only break the rules and besiege you together."
Long Chen laughed and said: "As expected of the king of Xixia, he can actually say such a dirty move so calmly."
Shi Le chuckled and said: "I am the king of Xixia. I will do anything to protect Xixia."
The empty monk beside him had red eyes, the blood on his head was dried by the dry wind, and his face was mottled, looking like an evil ghost.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to talk nonsense with him, just kill him!"
Monk Kongji swallowed the secret medicine, his blood boiled, and he wanted to fight.
Xinkong and Xinjing could no longer suppress the power of the medicine in their bodies. Their eyes were bloodshot and red, as if they were about to explode, and they looked terrifying and ferocious.
"kill!"
Shi Le raised the halberd, pointed at Long Chen, and said coldly.
After giving the order, Fu Yong picked up the hard bow and first shot three arrows at Long Chen!
Kongji held the Jiuxi Zen staff and galloped toward Long Chen, followed closely by Xinkong and Xinjing.
Shi Haoran was about to step forward, but Shi Le stopped him: "Wait!"
Shi Haoran stopped, and Shi Le said: "Let them fight first! There's no rush!"
With the three masters and disciples of Kongji and Fu Yong raiding the formation, Shi Le thought it should be about the same, so he and Shi Haoran waited nearby.
Shi Le actually did this because he wanted to observe Long Chen up close.
He really wanted to know what the Emperor Realm was like.
