The location of Monkey Pass is important and must be recaptured.
With his current cultivation level, Long Chen could easily enter the city. The only thing he had to worry about was the ghost fetus.
After the battle in Linjiang City, it was confirmed that the ghost fetus was not in Nanliang, so Long Chen could attack Monkey Pass with confidence.
Long Chen took Liao Yong with more than 10,000 people and traveled hundreds of miles. In the middle of the second day, they finally arrived near Houmi Pass.
Long Chen ordered everyone to rest on the spot and prepare for battle.
After running such a long distance, I don’t have the energy to fight without rest.
Liao Yong asked: "How should the general act?"
Long Chen took a sip of water and said: "You wait outside the city. When the fire breaks out in the city, you rush in and I will fight my way out!"
In the past, Liao Yong would have said that it was too dangerous for Long Chen to rush in alone.
But after the battle in Linjiang City, Liao Yong felt that there was no danger at all for Long Chen to go in alone. .??.
Because Long Chen is strong enough.
"The last general takes command!"
Liao Yong immediately sent the order.
After resting, Long Chen went to the Monkey Maze Pass first, and Liao Yong followed with his army to lurk.
Long Chen walked towards the Monkey Maze Pass alone. It was dark and unclear at night, but Long Chen could see clearly.
Encountering a secret sentry on the road, Long Chen killed him on the spot to prevent them from discovering Liao Yong.
When they arrived outside the east city gate, Long Chen stood on a tree and looked at the monkey gate.
The burning torches on the city illuminated the surroundings, and the soldiers patrolled continuously without any slack.
Long Chen jumped down from the tree and flew into the Monkey Maze Pass.
The soldiers patrolling the city felt a shadow passing over their heads, but they couldn't tell what it was.
"Did someone pass by just now?"
The soldier raised his head and said.
Another soldier shook his head and said: "How is it possible? It could be birds. There are many birds here at night."
The soldier was right when he thought about it. The defense was so tight, how could anyone get by?
Long Chen had seen the map of Monkey Pass, and after entering the city, he stepped on the roof and quickly headed towards the General's Mansion. > When we arrived at the General's Mansion, there were soldiers at the entrance and in the courtyard, and the guards were extremely tight.
The door to the main hall was closed, the lights were on inside, and several figures were reflected in the windows.
Long Chen felt a little weird.
After crossing the roof, Long Chen landed on the tiles in the main hall, slowly uncovered a tile, and Long Chen looked inside the house.
There were several people inside wearing general's clothes.
Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart: Cheng Li is so cunning and cunning, but he is not here.
The few people underneath were wearing generals' clothes, but they were not Cheng Li, but ordinary soldiers pretending to be soldiers.
In order to prevent being assassinated, Cheng Li deliberately set up a fascination array in the general's mansion and pretended to be an ordinary soldier.
The real body is hidden in a corner of the city.
After putting the tiles back on the roof, Long Chen left the general's mansion and stood on the roof of a house, scanning the movement of soldiers and horses in the city.
Cheng Li is a general, and all important information must be gathered to him, so the flow of people must be directed to Cheng Li.
Long Chen observed carefully and finally discovered that several generals were heading towards the same courtyard.
That must be where Cheng Li is hiding.
Long Chen lightly passed by and landed in the main hall of the courtyard.
Gently moving a piece of tile aside, Long Chen saw Cheng Li wearing armor, with deputy general Sun Jie and several generals beside him.
Several people are discussing something!
"The spy report we just received shows that the emperor and Long Chen were fighting in front of the formation. The emperor was seriously injured. Qiu Kuohai, Hu Feiyang, and more than 50 people from Wu Hongying were all captured by Long Chen!"
"Our army was defeated and hundreds of thousands were killed and captured!"
A messenger reported in a trembling voice.
There are spies from Cheng Li in Linjiang City.
After the battle, Long Chen attended the celebration banquet. Judging from the time, Long Chen arrived at Houmi Pass, and the news from the spies also arrived.
letter
After the envoy finished speaking, Cheng Li and the others showed ridiculous expressions on their faces.
It is understandable that Li Chengdao and Long Chen lost the battle and were seriously injured.
However, more than 50 generals from Qiu Kuohai were captured by Long Chen alone. This is simply ridiculous!
"Please tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Lieutenant General Sun Jie did not believe it and even suspected that the messenger was a spy sent by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to deliberately shake the morale of the army.
The messenger detailed the day's battle, and the generals were horrified.
"This Long Chen actually defeated more than 50 generals with one move? Is this... still a human being?"
A captain said in horror.
After decades of fighting, I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing.
Deputy General Sun Jie looked at Cheng Li and said, "General, are the rumors true?"
Cheng Li also heard the news that Long Chen entered the Holy Snow Peak and obtained the secret method, and his cultivation level surpassed the Emperor Senior Realm.
Of course they don't believe it.
But now, Long Chen has actually captured more than 50 generals by himself, and he is the best general in Daliang. This is too outrageous.
Apart from the fact that Long Chen obtained the invincible technique, they could not think of any other explanation.
Cheng Li looked extremely ugly, and 400,000 elite troops besieged Linjiang City. The final result was actually absurd.
"Brothers, please keep your eyes open, I have a feeling that Long Chen will attack Monkey Pass."
"And you, please return to Yunqi City immediately. I'm worried that Long Chen will attack Yunqi City and turn us into an isolated city."
Cheng Li immediately gave the order, and Sun Jie immediately went out and led the people across the river overnight.
Other generals also immediately went out on patrol to guard against Long Chen's attack.
Long Chen listened to Cheng Li's words on the rooftop and thought to himself: Cheng Li's strategy is not bad either. Instead of attacking the Monkey Pass, we can directly capture Yunqi City and make the Monkey Pass an isolated city. When the time comes, we will surrender without a fight.
The problem is that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not have many troops in the south of the Yangtze River. If they attacked Yunqi City, they would have to divide their troops to defend it. If the troops were further dispersed, there would be more opportunities to take advantage of it. Therefore, the safe approach is to conquer the Monkey Maze Pass first, and then try to conquer Yunqi City.
After the people left, Cheng Li was the only one left in the room.
"Why."
Cheng Li let out a long sigh, sat down at the desk, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
When I first watched Long Chen attack Xixia, I always felt that Xixia was too incompetent. After hundreds of years of founding the country, Long Chen had beaten him into that state.
Only when it was his turn did he realize how powerful Long Chen was.
Li Chengdao personally led the army and attacked with an absolutely superior force, but the general in charge was actually defeated.
How can we fight this battle?
Is Li Chengdao alive or dead now?
Long Chen fell from the roof. There were 9 soldiers guarding the yard. Long Chen killed them all instantly.
Hearing the movement outside the door, Cheng Li frowned slightly and slowly stood up and walked to the door.
Squeak.
The door opened, Long Chen walked into the room, and faced Cheng Li face to face.
"General Cheng, long time no see."
Long Chen smiled and closed the door with his backhand.
Cheng Li looked at Long Chen in shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"sit down."
Long Chen walked inside and sat down on the stool. Cheng Li turned around and looked at Long Chen, then sat down silently.
Long Chen's appearance has changed, and Cheng Li has never seen the current Long Chen.
But you can guess from his words and deeds that this is him.
Cheng Li moved his legs and walked to sit opposite Long Chen.
Cheng Li frowned and looked at Long Chen. They looked similar, but his appearance and temperament changed.
In the past, Long Chen was innocent and had a reckless temperament, and he only liked practicing martial arts and fighting.
The current Long Chen is like a bottomless pool of water. Once you jump in, you will definitely not be able to get out.
"When old friends meet, General Cheng won't give him a cup of tea?"
