Wei Ying and the other three people have moved forward to a place ten miles outside the pass. From here, they can already see the bright light of Yanmen Pass.
The entire pass was burning with firewood, illuminating the clouds in the sky.
Zhu Zhen stopped, looked at the direction of Yanmen Pass, and whispered: "With this posture, Yanmen Pass has at least 500,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all elite soldiers."
The appearance of the military camp can tell the morale of the army.
Such a majestic scene must be an elite division.
Li Man mocked: "Bullshit elites. There are only 50,000 people under Long Chen's command who dare to fight. The rest are ordinary soldiers. Whoever comes will die."
The elite warriors on the battlefield in the Central Plains are prey in the eyes of the ghost tribe and are vulnerable to a single blow.
Wei Ying said: "There must be more patrolling soldiers nearby, so be careful."
Thirty miles outside Yanmen Pass, there were a lot of patrolling soldiers. They were careful to avoid them along the way, so the speed was much slower.
Approaching the pass, Wei Ying became more cautious.
"Walk."
Wei Ying ordered, and the three of them crouched down, bypassing obstacles and fortress-like defensive positions, and quietly approached the pass.
Long Chen built many positions ten miles outside Yanmen Pass.
After learning the lesson from last time, Long Chen felt that this time the battle could not be fought directly at Yanmen Pass, so the battle position was pushed forward.
For Wei Ying, he prefers places with many people and obstacles. Such places are easier to hide and can even blend into the crowd.
The three of them moved around in a dodge, passing through the defenses one after another, and when they quickly approached Yanmen Pass, Long Chen and four others also came out of Yanmen Pass and searched for traces near the pass.
After leaving the border, Long Chen, Yu Wenkai, Dugu Jiali, and Bai Tingting were divided into three groups and searched north from the left, middle and right routes.
Long Chen is in the middle, Yu Wenkai is on the left, and Dugu Jiali is on the right.
This arrangement is to provide timely support to Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting.
Long Chen quickly walked between the fortifications. Small towns were built all over the outside of the pass. Inside were musketeers and crossbowmen, with bed crossbows and divine arm bows mounted on them. Bonfires were burning on all sides, and everyone was talking.
The ghost army is coming tomorrow. Everyone knows about this and everyone is very nervous.
"I heard that King Wu and Sage have made a breakthrough again, and they are almost as good as the Ghost Girl of Wu Sage."
"The news that just came out seems to say that the Contest Martial Saint is powerful."
"King Wu killed tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in the north, and not a single brother was killed."
"That's not right. The killing at Yanmen Pass was so brutal last time. Why is it so smooth this time?"
"I also suspect it's fake."
"Whether it is true or not, we will know tomorrow."
The soldiers in the fortress were discussing Long Chen's breakthrough in cultivation. Everyone was very worried. Who was more powerful, Empress Long Chen or the Martial Saint Ghost Girl? How did the ghost soldiers this time compare to last time? How would tomorrow's battle be like?
Long Chen passed by and continued to search for traces of the three Wei Yings.
While Long Chen and the others were searching and tracking, Feng Hezheng led Xichang's men to open a series of secret nets, preparing to catch the three Wei Yings.
Lu Ji squatted in a secret post, holding a telescope in his hand, and said: "Old Feng, haven't they already sneaked into Yanmen Pass?"
Feng He held a pair of binoculars in his hand, carefully looked at the surrounding situation, and said: "Impossible, there is no way they can slip through the trap I have set."
Feng He has been doing spying all his life. Wei Ying is a spy general under Wu Sheng. When he encounters such an opponent, Feng He is very happy to see him. This time he uses all his strength to catch Wei Ying.
Lu Ji looked at it for a while and said, "Old Feng, I'm going to go somewhere else, spread out a little bit, the chance will be better."
It would be too wasteful for two people to live in the same place. Feng He thought it made sense and agreed with Lu Ji's idea.
Lu Ji will leave immediately and head east
Face search.
There are many barriers around, which is not conducive to search. Soldiers will make sounds and interfere with hearing. Barriers will block sight and interfere with vision.
On the contrary, it is very helpful for the Guardian Eagle to infiltrate.
Lu Ji searched the road for a while and stopped to rest against a barrier. The soldiers above were discussing tomorrow's battle.
"We will know tomorrow whether we succeed or not."
Lu Ji looked up at the soldiers above, picked up the water bottle and took a sip.
"Brother, excuse me for drinking water."
Suddenly a soldier appeared behind him, wearing the clothes of a Nanliang soldier. He smiled and patted Lu Ji on the shoulder.
Lu Ji looked back at the soldier and said unhappily: "Where is your own water?"
The soldier smiled sheepishly and said, "It's hot, so finish the drink."
Lu Ji shook his water bottle and said, "Just take a sip."
The soldier took the kettle and drank some water. Lu Ji shouted: "That's enough, that's enough. Leave some for me."
When the soldier had finished drinking, he returned the kettle to Lu Ji and said with a smile, "Sorry, brother, I'm too thirsty."
Lu Ji shook the kettle, but there was no water in it.
"You haven't drank water in your eight lives, motherfucker."
Lu Ji tied the kettle to his waist, cursed and walked to the side, unbuckling his belt as he walked.
Turning to a corner, Lu Ji peed against the barrier.
The soldier took one look, turned and left.
After finally peeing, Lu Ji confirmed that the soldiers were gone and immediately contacted Long Chen.
The soldier just now was wearing the uniform of a Nanliang soldier, but he didn't recognize Lu Ji. This is unreasonable.
Lu Ji used to be in the Imperial City Division. After arriving at Yanmen Pass, Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji, as well as Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai, were very famous and almost all the soldiers knew them.
As for the soldier just now, he didn't recognize Lu Ji and his accent was wrong. There was definitely something wrong. r> Long Chen was searching when he saw some fireworks rising behind him.
This is the agreed signal, and once discovered, it will be set off immediately.
Long Chen immediately turned back and flew towards the place where the fireworks were rising.
Now Long Chen, with the blessing of his cultivation, is extremely fast and can reach the barrier in a matter of seconds.
Landing at the barrier, Long Chen didn't see Lu Ji.
Wei Ying and his group were constantly moving. After Lu Ji found out, he would definitely pursue them all the way. It was normal for people to be away.
The infiltrator was nearby, Long Chen immediately searched for him.
At the same time, Feng He also saw the fireworks and immediately led the people from the West Factory to surround them.
After Lu Ji sent out the signal, he quietly followed behind the soldier just now. The distance between the two was more than 100 meters. Lu Ji was very careful.
When we followed them to a barrier in the south, the soldier suddenly disappeared.
Lu Ji felt surprised, but he did not go up immediately, as he might have fallen into a trap.
After waiting for a while, Lu Ji finally couldn't wait any longer and quietly walked to the place where the soldiers disappeared.
There is nothing around.
"Lost?"
Lu Ji was very upset.
As a person from the Imperial City Department, he actually lost track of him.
"Brother, is there any water?"
A voice came from behind, and Lu Ji froze. He knew it was too late.
Fingers as sharp as eagle claws grabbed from the waist and penetrated the clothes on the back. Lu Ji felt that his spine was instantly scratched and his neck was torn open. Lu Ji did not look back or struggle. He knew it was useless and used his last strength.
, Lu Ji took out a firework from his waist and pulled out the fuse.
When the fireworks fell to the ground, they did not soar into the sky, but like a rocket, they drew a line of light on the ground and made a crisp sound.
Long Chen was nearby and the sound came, but he didn't see the rising fireworks. Long Chen guessed that something happened.
With a flash of body, Long Chen appeared under the barrier.
